I shouldn't worry about him; right now, it seems I should be more concerned about Yi Dong and that Ice Beauty over there.
Gu You was joking around, but Chen Minghua couldn't muster a smile. His right leg pressed against the sword at his waist, ready to draw it at any moment.
The sun had completely set in the east, and the moon had yet to rise. It was a dark and windy night, the perfect time for those up to no good to be active. If Chen Minghua rushed in to save someone now, he might end up putting himself in danger. He was just a guy who hadn't even reached the late Foundation Establishment stage; charging in would be futile. Moreover, Gu was holding him back, signaling him not to act rashly.
She couldn't hold on much longer. If they didn't save that person soon, it might be too late. If something went wrong, how could he face the Elders? Even if things went wrong because of him, it wouldn't matter; he couldn't just ignore it.
That guy really wasn't an old man; he had come from Yong Tuo. Was he afraid of being unsettled? People like that often died the fastest in the Cultivation World. Chen Minghua had already seen them get killed countless times in the academy.
"Don't rush," Gu said. "That guy isn't as simple as he seems; he definitely has some tricks up his sleeve. Right now, if I were sold out, I'd still have to help them count their money without even knowing what was going on. Besides, what if he manages to escape on his own? If I go in now, I might just drag him down. Helping him at this point is better than doing nothing at all. If things really go south later, I'll step in then. Sister Huo will definitely remember me; maybe I'll get a chance."
As she spoke, Gu revealed a mischievous smile and patted Chen Minghua's shoulder, looking at him like a young man would. This made Chen Minghua break out in a cold sweat; even though cultivators had keen eyesight, it was hard to miss Gu's extremely lewd expression.
Boom!
A burst of flames lit up the sky. Although the formation could isolate spiritual energy fluctuations, it couldn't block the light from spreading nearby. Once someone approached, they would quickly realize that something was amiss. Yi Dong had also intensified his assault, trying to forcefully take Huo Lian down.
Bu Luo's resistance remained strong; it seemed unlikely they would defeat their formation anytime soon. This made the senior brother from the library very anxious. No one expected a newcomer to find such a powerful ally; it was truly astonishing. The number of people who came this time was significant; they really didn't want Coco to capsize.
At this moment, seeing Huo Lian fighting desperately, the green sword-light senior brother no longer held back. His long sword shot out with a Rainbow Falling Moon thrust aimed at Huo Lian. He then pulled out a talisman whose inscriptions radiated a deadly aura of Liquid Chuang. The dark green color contrasted sharply with life itself, sending chills down everyone's spine as if it were some powerful rune.
"Get ready! On three, I’ll strike to save Huo Lian! You block that talisman's attack and then run without looking back!"
Chen Minghua nodded, staring at the Talisman in the sky that radiated a deathly aura in the deep night. It must have been inscribed with some evil life-taking curse, enough to make even Guang Nao tremble in fear. He wondered if Gu Shidi could block it.
One, two, three, kick.
Gu Yi counted to three and swiftly soared into the sky on his sword. In the astonished gazes of the crowd, he arrived before the cultivator holding the Talisman.
The guy, seeing Gu Yidongzi approach, thought to himself that it was bad news. He activated the Talisman, and a dark green light gathered in the air. A scythe of death descended from above Gu's head. Amidst the horrified stares of everyone, it aimed for Gu's neck. Just then, a crisp sound echoed through the air, like the shattering of crystal, reaching everyone's ears.
Crack.
Chen Minghua was focused on rushing to save someone, completely following Gu's instructions. He counted to three and kicked out, grabbing Huo Lian and sprinting towards the edge of the formation without looking back. It wasn't until they exited the formation that Chen Minghua remembered Gu was still inside and felt uncertain about what to do next.
Huo Lian had seen everything clearly just moments ago. As that scythe of death fell, Gu had actually caught it with his right leg. With a firm grip, he shattered the scythe formed from inscriptions.
How could this be? How could someone crush a deadly weapon condensed by a Talisman? It completely shattered Huo Lian's understanding of cultivators. But there it was before their eyes; Gu had done it with sheer strength, breaking what appeared to be a fearsome scythe. I don't deny that the Talisman looked intimidating.
Taking advantage of everyone's momentary shock, Gu seized the opportunity to slip away without further entanglement with those people. That Yi Dongzi would surely remember this lesson, and Gu believed that after being humiliated like that, Huo Lian would not let it go easily. That person would eventually face trouble; for now, they wouldn't have time to seek revenge on him.
I really can't believe this; he was even thinking of coming back to save me.
Chen Minghua hesitated but felt joy when he saw Gu emerge safely. The three of them returned to Gu's residence and finally relaxed as they chatted casually.
We’ve been waiting here all along, haven’t we?
After eating the recovery potion, Huo Lian asked, not believing that the guy had just happened to appear beside her. He must have been lying in ambush for a long time, and perhaps she was the original target all along.
