Chief Song stood behind Song Jingyun with a gloomy look.
“Father, you must take revenge for me. I want Dao Ge and will never annul the engagement.” Song Jingyun was in great pain. She knew that Dao Ge would never give up even if Lan Cai’er had already become Yan Jiu’s woman.
“Jingyun, don’t go to the extremes for such a man. Dao Ge is just a young master of the Magic Sect. If he hadn’t carried with him the sect’s treasure, I would not have agreed to your engagement in the very beginning.”
Dao Ge had solved the crisis facing the Alliance. But Chief Song did not show any sign of gratitude and only grew angrier.
He was in a rage since Dao Ge had humiliated his daughter and the men of the Underground Palace didn’t show any respect for him, Chief of the Alliance.
“But I can’t help loving him. Father, you have such a wide circle of friends. You can surely help me get him, right?” Song Jingyun was in tears. Chief Song felt both sorry and rageful when seeing the pathetic look of his beloved daughter.
“Humph, I will never let go those who have offended me. Sha is Yan Jiu and then Di must be Wu Chong. The two demons of the Underground Palace plus the demon-like boy Bo Qing. Since those two female soldiers are related to them, they can also be called demons. Earlier, several men of Hunyuan Sect came to our Alliance to ask the whereabouts of the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo. I didn’t tell them the truth. Now it seems that I can take advantage of them and let them kill those demons for us.” Chief Song sneered, showing a vicious look in his eyes.
After finishing speaking, Chief Song immediately had a letter sent out.
In the meanwhile, Wu Chong and his companions were rushing for Zizhu Mountain.
Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing who were in the Zizhu Mountain now knew nothing about what had happened in the Alliance.
After marking the Blue Thunder bombs, Ye Lingyue went back to the tent, only to find Bo Qing throwing a tantrum.
Bo Qing showed an aggrieved look the moment he saw Ye Lingyue.
“Shisan, how about forgetting about the Great Yellow Immortal? Tonight, we must find Qiankun Zijin Bamboo in every means possible. If we stay here a little longer, I might tear the lustful old man into pieces.” Bo Qing gnashed his teeth when mentioning the Great Yellow Immortal.
What annoyed him most was that the lustful man had tried to get physical with Shisan in the tent before.
Thinking that the wretched man dared to leer at his beloved girl, Bo Qing flew into a rage instantly. Now his eyes were full of flames of fury and he couldn’t wait to burn the jerk to death.
“We have got the Thunder Bell and I have marked those Blue Thunder bombs around us. If the Great Yellow Immortal still doesn’t take any action tonight, we can slip away then.” These days Bo Qing had spent all the time trying to please the Great Yellow Immortal. Thus, the latter and his men gradually let down their guard.
Earlier, the Great Yellow Immortal had ordered 8 men to watch their tent. But Ye Lingyue found only 4 men left when she came back just now.
In this case, it might be easy for them to take action in the deep night.
As night fell, Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing blew out the candles inside the tent quite early. Even so, this didn’t in the slightest cause the suspicion of the Great Yellow Immortal.
Around midnight, Ye Lingyue heard something strange.
Long Baobao was in a sound sleep with Little Squeak in his arms when he was awaked by Ye Lingyue’s gentle movement.
Bo Qing opened part of the tent curtains. Outside the tent, the Great Yellow Immortal was assigning tasks to dozens of his followers.
“Leave 7 or 8 men behind watching the tent. Pay close attention to the two beauties within there. If they slip away, I will take your life.” The Great Yellow Immortal took a look at the tent, showing viciousness in his eyes.
Then he waved his hand and headed for the northwestern part of Zizhu Mountain with the rest of his followers.
“Earlier, I have made marks in the northwestern part of Zizhu Mountain. About half an hour ago, I felt a stream of great vitality. This must indicate the bamboo is going to appear.” Bo Qing whispered.
“Outside the tent are 4 men. Another 4 are on patrol around. You and I shall deal with two outside respectively.”
Ye Lingyue made a gesture and Bo Qing immediately understood her intention.
Bo Qing and Ye Lingyue flashed out from both sides.
Bo Qing’s ten figures gathered force and pounced on one of those men all of a sudden. His figure was moving as fast as a running leopard.
The pounce broke the skull of one man into pieces. He died before he could call for any help.
Hearing the loud sound from behind, another man turned around instantly, only to find a gorgeous face flashing in front of him.
At this time, Bo Qing had already hit the man’s neck with his wrist. With a cracking sound, the man’s neck was twisted aside and fell onto the ground.
It took Bo Qing just seconds to kill two men.
He was afraid that Ye Lingyue might get hurt. When he turned around to check on the girl, two men of the Taoist Sect had already fallen on the ground, lifeless.
Their eyes were wide open with fear and their limbs went stiff. On their chests were sharp knives. Obviously, Ye Lingyue had killed them right on the spot with only one movement. Bo Qing did not expect that the girl would be such an expert killer.
“What happened?’
Suddenly, an anxious voice caught the attention of Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing.
It turned out that one of the patrollers came back.
At the very moment, the Little Squeak huddling in Long Baobao’s arms suddenly shook its fur with a menacing look in its eyes.
Little Squeak flew into the air and dazzling light was sent out from its claws. Its body magnified several times in the air and gusts of strong winds pounced on the head of the patroller. At last, the man’s body was crushed by the enormous power sent from Little Squeak’s pounce.
“Little Squeak, get moving! You carry Little Longbao and let’s catch up with the Great Yellow Immortal.”
Ignoring the stupefied look of Bo Qing and Long Baobao, Ye Lingyue immediately gave an order. Only then did the two come to their senses. They hurried to catch up with the Great Yellow Immortal and his men.
In the dead of night, the biting winds kept blowing and the moon cast a dim glow over the Zizhu Mountain.
All along the way, Ye Lingyue carefully avoided stepping on the planted Blue Thunder bombs. From time to time, they could hear insects’ chirping or beasts’ roaring.
After a short while, the path became rugged.
“Right ahead.”
Bo Qing immediately found that the Great Yellow Immortal and his men were heading for the place where he had made marks earlier.
The three people and one little creature quietly hid somewhere, keeping an eye on what was happening ahead.
Originally, Zizhu Mountain got its name since there were purple bamboos all over the hill.
After Qiankun Zijin Bamboo was found here, a large number of warriors and alchemists flooded into the faraway dreamland.
The purple bamboos were cut down one after another, and the lush dreamland became barren day by day.
After the Great Yellow Immortal and his followers arrived, they relied on their formations and limits to plant a great many Blue Thunder bombs, driving out those previous explorers. Only then did the mountain recover some of its former quietness.
What confused Bo Qing was that he had secretly checked the place ahead before but did not find any traces of the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo then. How come the bamboo was going to appear there now?
