Chapter 183: Zuo Shangchen’s Rage Awakens (4)
Moyu abruptly halted her steps and gripped Bai Chuan’s hand tightly. She looked at the elderly man blocking their way with a cautious gaze.
The elder was dressed in a white robe and standing with his hands behind his back. He looked like an immortal to the bone, except for that arrogance and viciousness in his muddy pupils.
“Who are you?” Moyu’s slender brows furrowed as she carefully pushed Bai Chuan behind her.
The elder looked coldly at the two of them and said: “You’re from Hundred Herb Hall? Who is Gu Ruoyun to you?”
Master?
Moyu froze for a moment; this man was looking for Master? Her heart sunk: “Why are you looking for her?”
“It looks like I’ve found the right people,” The elder smiled. He spoke with an aloof tone: “Since that’s so, I’ll trouble the two of you to be my guests at the Dark Yin Palace!”
Bai Chuan bit his lip and leaned against Moyu’s body. A rare glint of panic appeared in his wide, obstinate eyes. It was clear that even he had detected this elder’s bad intentions.
“Be a guest at the Dark Yin Palace?” Moyu sneered, “And what if I reject your invitation?”
No matter what, Moyu wouldn’t let this old fellow use her to threaten Master!
As for why she hadn’t denied her connection with Gu Ruoyun, that was because the Dark Yin Palace had already come looking for them, so they had definitely done some investigation. Even if she had denied it, they wouldn’t have believed her..
“Haha, that’s not up to you to decide. Even if you don’t want to, you’ll have to come with me today!”
The elder burst out into laughter; at the same time, an endless surge of power suppressed Moyu. The martial king’s pressure was like a rock pressing heavily onto her body, causing her fair face to turn terribly pale.
“Little girl, a wise man submits to circumstances. As long as you come with me, I won’t hurt you!”
Moyu’s face was completely pale, but her gaze was full of sympathy, as if the elder in front of her was the one to be pitied.
“Trying to use me to threaten her is your biggest mistake! Xiao Chuan, run quickly! Report to her! Tell her that the people from the Dark Yin Palace have made their move!”
When they had started following Master, they had all secretly made a vow to use whatever they had learned to repay her. Thus, how could they allow anyone to use them to threaten their master?
Once she sacrifices herself, Master and her brothers and sisters of the Devil Sect would definitely take revenge for her.
When the time comes, the pitiable one would be this old fellow here.
Thinking of that, Moyu smiled mockingly, her taunt clearly showing in her gaze.
“Stop right there!”
The elder’s face turned frosty. His body turned into a brisk wind as he chased after Bai Chuan. With a bang, a punch landed on Bai Chuan’s back and that little figure abruptly crashed into a stall at the corner of the street.
The little shota’s face was pale and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He stared fiercely at the elder with an unyielding gaze.
“You old fart! What are you trying to prove by attacking a little child?!” Moyu flew into such a rage, even her body started trembling, “Is this how your Dark Yin Palace does things? You won’t even let off such a young child?”
Elder Liu sneered: “Are you trying to deceive me? This little fellow is close to Gu Ruoyun. She even broke ties with the crown prince of Azure Dragon Country for him a few days ago, so this kid must mean a lot to her. I wasn’t too sure if Gu Ruoyun might come with just you alone; if I take this kid away, I believe that she’ll definitely appear!”
“You…”
Moyu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She only hoped that someone would see this scene and return to report to Gu Ruoyun.
