Chapter 239: Soul Gathering Bottle
Chapter 239: Soul Gathering Bottle
"Whatever you want to think, go ahead," Chu Yu said, then turned around and walked out. After a few steps, he turned back and mocked Fu Yifan for being so smart. "But if you want to deliberately provoke me and make me kill you, don't even think about it! No way!"
As he spoke, Chu Yu was as proud as a noble peacock, arrogant and indifferent to everything, with only himself in his eyes. He shook his gorgeous feathers and walked forward with his head held high.
Little did they know that it was his arrogance that gave Murong Li and the other three a real chance to catch their breath.
The three continued to communicate using the art of sound transmission.
"How is it? Did you get it?" Fu Yifan asked cautiously after Chu Yu turned his back to them.
The petty old man Murong Li deliberately kept a straight face and didn't say anything, making Fu Yifan mistakenly believe that the operation had failed. He immediately drooped his face, looking aggrieved, and his hands, which had nowhere to go, fell on both sides of his legs. He was about to express his frustration, but he saw Ye Lan raise a bright smile and said:
"Well done, brother!"
While Fu Yifan was still in a daze, perhaps because Ye Lan was too happy, he suddenly gave him a big hug. Fu Yifan, such a tall and mighty man, couldn't resist the hug and blushed instantly.
Murong Li was watching from the sidelines and was amazed. He said:
"Young people today just have too little experience."
After being teased by Murong Li, Fu Yifan felt even more shy. He shyly pushed Ye Lan away from his arms and whispered:
"Sister..."
When Ye Lan was pushed away, she still felt that Fu Yifan's behavior was inexplicable. After seeing Fu Yifan's eye signal, she realized what she had done in front of Murong Li, and her whole face turned red.
"Oh, sorry, junior brother, I'm just too happy." Ye Lan explained with a blush.
"I understand." Fu Yifan nodded repeatedly.
"Then why don't I leave? You two just need to be sweet and happy, and don't worry about the old man's life or death!" Murong Li changed his serious tone and spoke with the tone of a naughty child.
"No, Uncle Master!" Fu Yifan begged for mercy quickly.
The depressed and frustrating atmosphere was swept away by the interruption of the young couple, and the air was filled with joy and happiness. Fu Yifan suddenly had a strong premonition that things might be coming to an end soon.
"Uncle Master, what did you get from the eldest senior brother?" Fu Yifan asked curiously.
The three of them were just planning how to get to Rong Zhao and take the Qiankun bag from him by passing through the heavy demonic energy right under Chu Yu's nose. Murong Li was not sure whether Rong Zhao would put the gift in the Qiankun bag, but there was no better way at the moment. He could only take a gamble, which was better than being treated like a guinea pig by Chu Yu here.
In fact, they actually won the bet.
Murong Li found the spirit gathering bottle that he had given to Rong Zhao for self-defense not long ago in his Qiankun bag.
This bottle looks plain and simple on the outside, exactly the same as the ordinary white jade embryos sold outside; but in fact it is a good thing for gathering spiritual energy.
It took Murong Li a lot of effort to get this bottle in the beginning. Now that he is in urgent need of it, he didn't expect it to come in handy.
Murong Li opened the bottle and checked it. When he looked inside, his face was full of joy.
"I have gathered a lot of spiritual energy into the bottle on a daily basis. The spiritual energy inside can easily sustain the barrier for seven days and seven nights."
Fu Yifan and Ye Lan were both very happy to finally hear the good news that couldn't be better.
"Uncle Master, if Chu Yu knew about this, that guy would go crazy again."
"You are right," Murong Li said after thinking for a moment, "It's time to test your acting skills. You will jump up and down like you did just now to transport spiritual energy into the barrier."
"Instead of really transferring spiritual energy, why not use fake moves to confuse him?" Fu Yifan asked.
"It is still like this."
"Let me try." Fu Yifan rubbed his hands, looking eager to try.
"Please be careful. Chu Yu is not a fool. He is not someone who can get away with it by just fooling around a few times." Ye Lan added.
"Yes, senior sister."
After the three of them finished the discussion, Murong Li, under the cover of Ye Lan and Fu Yifan, performed a switch, changing the source of the barrier's energy from each person's body to the spirit gathering bottle in his hand, and everything was accomplished without anyone noticing.
Everything is going in a good direction. As long as they hold on for a few more days, Wuyou and others will come to support them. This is the only belief that keeps them going!
In the past few days, Chu Yu was still the same as usual, making some noise to tease them when he had nothing to do. But today he was much quieter, and Murong Li smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"Something's wrong!" Murong Li calculated with his fingers, and when he learned the result, he slapped his thigh in excitement. In the shock of Fu Yifan and Ye Lan, he explained, "Logically, Chu Yu has already obtained the secret treasure underground, and he should have left quickly, but he didn't, and instead fought with us. This is obviously unreasonable! Damn! Why did I think of it only now!"
"Uncle Master, don't worry. Recovering your body is the most important thing! As for Chu Yu, no one can guess what he is thinking. I suggest that you find a way to escape while Chu Yu is away. At least, take Senior Brother with you," Ye Lan said, pointing to the body lying quietly not far away. "Maybe there is still hope."
Rong Zhao has been lying on the cold ground for three days and three nights without moving at all, but Ye Lan and others still maintain their original intentions and do not give up or abandon!
Murong Li nodded in agreement, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and said:
"Of course. Rong has always been a very strong man. How could he fall so easily? I will definitely take him out, redress the grievances of the Rong clan, make Chu Yu's crimes known to the world, and restore peace to the Rong clan!"
Murong Li seemed to be saying these words to himself. No matter what attitude Fu Yifan and Ye Lan had towards this matter, it would not affect Murong Li's thoughts.
"Uncle Master is so thoughtful. Big Brother will definitely be very happy." Fu Yifan said.
Just then, the person who always came to tease them on time came late and interrupted their conversation.
"Happy? Who is happy?" Chu Yu suddenly appeared in mid-air and asked with interest.
Chu Yu's appearance always broke the original peace. The smiling faces of the three people disappeared without a trace in an instant, and they looked at the newcomer vigilantly.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Yifan asked.
"Of course I came to see the little white mice I raised, is that not okay?" Chu Yu said confidently.
Murong Li felt that it was not that simple, and secretly signaled Fu Yifan and Ye Lan to come closer to him, and Fu Yifan and Ye Lan naturally did so.
Perhaps it was too obvious, Chu Yu suddenly became unhappy.
"I don't eat humans, it's not that scary." Chu Yu pretended to be very sad.
Hearing Chu Yu's despicable words, Fu Yifan was shocked and widened his eyes. Chu Yu's mouth was deceiving, how could Chu Yu have any credibility now! Some time ago, he witnessed the horrifying scene of Chu Yu eating people, so why did he say today that he had never eaten people? This made Fu Yifan recall the disgusting scene, and his stomach churned.
"What's wrong, junior brother?" The perceptive Ye Lan noticed that Fu Yifan was unwell at the first moment and asked with concern.
Fu Yifan shook his head.
"It's okay, Senior Sister. I just thought of something disgusting."
Murong Li stared at Chu Yu, not knowing what he was thinking, until the other party shuddered.
"Murong, looking at me like this, have you discovered that you have fallen in love with me?" Chu Yu deliberately disgusted Murong Li.
"This guy is so shameless. We can't tolerate it!" Ye Lan grabbed the impulsive Fu Yifan, shook his head, advised him not to be impulsive, and motioned him to look at Murong Li next to him.
"No," Murong Li smelled a hint of blood on Chu Yu's body and frowned, "Who did you run into on the way here?"
Chu Yu laughed loudly and praised:
"Oh, can you smell it, too? Murong, are you born in the year of the dog?"
"You still have not answered my question."
"It's just a little girl." Chu Yu responded casually without any intention of hiding anything.
The killing intent instantly filled the entire space. Murong Li narrowed his eyes and asked word by word:
"Who did you say you ran into?"
"Don't be so angry, Murong. Losing your temper will make you age faster. I just met a little girl on the road and killed her," Chu Yu gestured to Murong Li and said nonchalantly, "Now that I think about it carefully, that little girl does look a bit like your apprentice. But as for apprentices, you can have as many as you want. You can find another one after you die."
"Chu Yu, you are looking for death!" Murong Li glared at him.
Before he finished his words, Murong Liren rushed out of the barrier.
