Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 131 Guard it for me

Dozens of figures tore off their black robes, revealing the armor they wore underneath. Holding spears, they stepped back to make way for a passage, while their leading guard commander turned and bowed slightly.

The three gray-robed elders stood quietly in the middle, their powerful aura emanating subtly.

The tall and short men were even stronger than the old man.

The old man with a hooked nose and sunken mouth, standing on the left, quickly scanned the area with his eagle eyes. With a casual wave of his withered hand, a yellowed bounty poster was released and landed in front of the commander.

After accepting the gift, the commander turned around and raised it in greeting, his gaze falling on the old man high above: "You must be the master of Burning Phoenix Manor, right? Please forgive my intrusion."

“We have come here on behalf of the Holy Light Branch of Moxi City to arrest this person.”

Upon hearing this, the old man glared at him angrily.

Although the other party said they were sorry, their tone was not apologetic at all, but rather arrogant as they appeared.

He initially thought they were from the main hall, but it turned out to be a branch hall of a small city.

Although it is a branch hall, it still bears the name of the Holy Light Hall...

Although he had said a few days ago that even the Holy Light Temple would have to give him some face, in reality, he didn't know either of them.

"Don't come to the wrong place. The people who came to cultivate have already left. There is no one else here." The old man suppressed his anger, his voice was cold, but he couldn't lash out. "You trespassed here, fine, but you also attacked my people without asking any questions!"

Although the four guardians were merely puppets and not living beings, the process of creating them consumed an immeasurable amount of his effort!

The one with the fire attribute was even infused with half a wisp of immortal fire during its forging.

Now that he's been beaten to such a sorry state, how could he not be heartbroken! The other two are probably in grave danger as well...

"Is no one else here?" A cold, hoarse voice suddenly rang out.

The commander at the front shuddered and quickly turned around to the side, bowing respectfully to the hook-nosed old man: "Fourth Elder."

The old man, addressed as the Fourth Elder, stepped forward, quickly scrutinized the old man a few times, and then asked sharply, "Is the legendary Heavenly Pool behind you?"

His eyes revealed disdain. At his age and with his cultivation level, he had already undergone marrow cleansing and bone tempering. The effects of the Heavenly Pool were only attractive to young people.

He paused slightly, then continued, "Our young lady has already explained the situation. It seems that the person is in the Heavenly Pool. Do you dare say there's no one there? Are you planning to protect a criminal?"

“Although you are the lord of a manor in Zhongzhou, you are nothing but an ant in front of the Holy Light Hall. You should know the consequences of offending us.”

No sooner had the Fourth Elder finished speaking than the short, stout Third Elder stepped forward, hands behind his back, his nostrils flaring, and said aggressively, "Get out of the way now!"

Having said that, he immediately signaled to the guards to take action.

The commander dared not delay and immediately led his guards up the steps and rushed towards the Heavenly Pool.

With such imposing manner, there was no room for negotiation.

The old man's face showed undisguised solemnity. He was also afraid of death, and he had only known that girl for a few days. There was really no need to offend the Holy Light Temple for this matter...

Can……

Recalling their deal, the old man hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and his pupils constricted sharply.

As his ears stiffened and his tail swished, a rough breath escaped from his nostrils, and an invisible surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body! It struck the approaching guards, sending them flying backward and crashing to the ground!

Upon seeing this, the commander immediately frowned and coldly shouted, "How dare you!"

Just as he was about to strike upwards, his shoulder was pressed down heavily by a withered, large hand.

The Fourth Elder's brows were incredibly cold, and his deep eyes flashed with a sinister light, like a venomous snake, sending chills down one's spine.

"So it seems you're determined to oppose our Holy Light Temple?"

As he spoke, a powerful aura surged from beneath his feet towards the old man!

Feeling immense pressure, the old man's face suddenly tightened, and his cloudy eyes filled with a chilling solemnity.

Facing three opponents alone, and also needing to keep an eye on his guards, he... had absolutely no chance of winning...

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he began to mutter something incessantly. Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, and the two remaining bodies of the guardians on the ground stood up again!

He tried his best to stop her, hoping the girl would come out soon...

……

-

At the bottom of Tianchi Lake, on the shore of the Black Sea, lies a layer of rock.

Crimson flames raged across it, illuminating the surrounding area for several meters, making it appear as if it were a lava cave, incredibly red.

Guan Xun's entire body turned bright red, even his previously fair and delicate face was flushed.

The blood vessels on it were unusually prominent, expanding and contracting alternately, as if they were about to burst open.

His wet hair clung to his jawline, dripping with sweat.

Chi Rong was extremely worried and agitated. Its master's breathing became more and more erratic each day, and it could only occasionally peek out to check on him...

Sudden.

The entire space shook violently a few times, and even some pebbles rolled down from the bottom of the pool.

It was crackling and popping, quite noisy.

After the vibrations stabilized, the sound of rushing water echoed from above and below, reverberating through the space, wave after wave, getting closer and closer.

Chi Rong suddenly became alert, his crystal eyes fixed on the direction of the entrance in the distance.

As the sound drew closer, countless vortexes of air, each carrying water droplets, appeared at the entrance.

Along with them came several human auras of varying strengths!

Those who had previously entered the Heavenly Pool with their master to cultivate had already left the day before yesterday.

The newcomer's aura is clearly hostile!

Chi Rong's pupils contracted sharply as he recalled the matter concerning the Holy Light Palace and the words his master had spoken before entering the pool.

So... there's a very high chance these auras belong to people from the Holy Light Temple!

It straightened its body and turned to look at Guan Xun.

This can be considered a short period of seclusion. The time the master needs is still uncertain, but it will certainly not be short.

Someone has to go and deal with the troublemakers right now, and Little Fish is useless... It's the only one who can do it!

Thinking this, Chi Rong's eyes swept over Xiao Yu with a slightly cold glint: "The situation is not good. You keep watch for me and notify me immediately if anything goes wrong!"

Xiao Yu's gaze remained fixed on the figure enveloped in crimson flames below. Upon hearing this, she didn't even bother to glance at him. After a brief silence, she finally spoke indifferently, "Alright."

Chi Rong narrowed its crystal eyes and flicked its tongue. Although it had spent a considerable amount of time with the little fish, to be honest, it had almost no trust in it. But it couldn't afford to worry about that now.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he said in an extremely low voice, "I know you have always kept your word."

Having said that, he leaped down from the rock layer, swam above the Black Sea, and sped straight towards the entrance.

No matter what, we must not allow anyone to disturb the master's cultivation!
