Zhao Ling'er immediately agreed and said sincerely, "Don't worry, Daoist Chu, I won't say anything more."
"Ling'er should thank Master Chu for resolving Ling'er's predicament. If Master Chu hadn't explained my identity, I'm afraid there would have been a huge misunderstanding between me and Brother Xiaoyao."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "Thanking you is too kind..."
Zhao Ling'er smiled and was about to say a few words of flattery when she suddenly heard Chu Yang change the subject.
"Why not give it to me in kind, so that you'll be happy and I'll be happy too?"
Zhao Ling'er: "..."
After a while, the two emerged from the grove.
The way everyone looked at Chu Yang gradually became strange.
Chu Yang, however, was unaware of all this, and only a faint regret appeared on his face.
Zhao Ling'er was unaware of how to raise the Golden Silkworm Gu.
It is said that in Miao territory, the Golden Silkworm Gu is a very high-grade Gu worm, and only a very few people know about it, not including the descendants of Nuwa.
However, Zhao Ling'er assured Chu Yang that once they returned to Nanzhao, she would do her best to find the whereabouts of the Golden Silkworm Gu for him.
In conclusion, it wasn't entirely without any gains.
After someone intervened, Li Xiaoyao was finally able to talk to Zhao Ling'er about their longing for each other, and their reunion became more normal.
Chu Yang hated watching these lovey-dovey scenes the most. After greeting Xu Changqing, he found a secluded spot and slipped into the Soul Palace.
When he came out again, the demon-eating gu in his hand had disappeared and turned into his own cultivation.
The effect was not as good as expected. The snake demon and the fox demon had a combined power of about two or three hundred years, but the one they got only had a little over a hundred years of power.
He lost two-thirds of his power.
"The clones have certain defects, and we need to find a way to fix them, otherwise we will only be able to rely on quantity to win in the future!"
Chu Yang had originally planned to secretly defeat the Crimson Ghost King by himself, but now it seemed better not to waste the opponent's millennia of cultivation.
Actually, he could also use the Blood Bodhi to exchange for the Demon-Eating Gu with Zhao Ling'er. If one wasn't enough, he could get a few more. Anyway, the Blood Bodhi wasn't as valuable to Chu Yang as it used to be.
Even if he gets injured, he can't use the Blood Bodhi; he can only eat it like candy.
Shi Gonghu had already ordered his men to light a campfire in the wild.
Zhao Ling'er, Li Xiaoyao, Anu, and others sat around the fire, chatting and laughing.
We'll be spending the night in the wild tonight, and we can only set off for Baihe Village tomorrow.
Shushan and Nanzhao Kingdom are in the same direction, so at least for now, the route doesn't need to be changed.
After learning that Li Xiaoyao was going to take Zhao Ling'er to Mount Shu, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why does Young Master Li want to go to Mount Shu?"
Li Xiaoyao, who had just reunited with Ling'er, was all smiles all day long. "I want to become a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect so that they can help us deal with the Moon Worship Cult."
Upon hearing that Mount Shu was planning to offer assistance, Shi Gonghu's eyes lit up, and he turned to ask Xu Changqing, "Master Xu, is this true?"
Xu Changqing was also at a loss, and couldn't help but recall what Chu Yang had said: "Become a monk during the day and return to secular life at night." The whole thing had come to this point inexplicably, and he didn't know how to answer.
So Xu Changqing could only hold his head in pain.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao quickly stopped Shi Gonghu from continuing his interrogation, and then quietly explained the reason to him.
After a moment, Shi Gonghu looked at Xu Changqing with regret and affection in his eyes.
Why does everyone look at me like that?
Xu Changqing felt more and more that something was strange.
It wasn't until Chu Yang returned to the group and explained it to Shi Gonghu again that he finally felt relieved and his expression became excited.
"I dare not speak presumptuously about Bai Yue's current magical power. If a master from the Shu Mountain Sect can take action against him, that would be the best thing."
"I hope you won't laugh at me, Daoist Chu. Before coming here, I was actually prepared to perish together with the Moon Worship Sect, but unfortunately, the Witch King couldn't make up his mind..."
Shi Gonghu, who served the country and its people, died a mournful death. It was clear that the old man had a lot of pent-up anger in his heart.
Hearing Chu Yang and the others talking about Bai Yue, Anu frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you bullying Uncle Bai Yue? Uncle Bai Yue is a very nice person!"
Shi Gonghu glared angrily, raised his hand, and prepared to slap the brat.
"oops!"
Anu was so frightened that she shrank her head and quickly hid behind Zhao Ling'er, but she didn't forget to make a face at Shi Gonghu when she had a chance.
Chu Yang wanted to laugh. To be so heartless was truly an oddity.
"Anu, how many times have I told you, the Moon Worship Cult is not a good people. If it weren't for Master Chu and the others arriving in time, Grandma and the sisters on Immortal Spirit Island would be dead!"
Zhao Ling'er was a little angry and looked at Anu with a serious expression.
In Anu's world, Baiyue had never done anything bad and was very kind to her. She couldn't think of a reason to hate him, but what everyone said made her feel very wronged.
"But those were things done by the Moon Worshipers, so why blame Uncle Moon Worshipers?"
"These things were all instigated by Bai Yue, how could they have nothing to do with him!"
"You have no evidence."
"Everyone already knows this, what evidence do we need!"
Li Xiaoyao and Tang Yu also joined in. One of them was tricked by the Baiyue Cult and almost made a big mistake, while the other had regarded Baiyue as an enemy since childhood.
Both of them harbored intense hostility towards Baiyue.
Anu couldn't argue with the two of them, so she pouted and her face turned red with anger. She raised her hand to cast a spell to teach them a lesson.
Seeing the situation escalating, Chu Yang flashed to Anu's side, grabbed her hand, and interrupted her spellcasting.
"You stinky Taoist priest, let go of me!" Anu struggled desperately, her little fists slamming into Chu Yang's face.
The Conqueror's Haki flashed by in an instant.
Anu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Chu Yang pushed her into Tang Yu's arms and frowned, saying, "She's naive and easily manipulated by Bai Yue. It's better to make plans as soon as possible."
Shi Gonghu said coldly, "Hesitation will only lead to more trouble. It's better to just take her here..."
Tang Yu quickly spoke up, pleadingly saying, "Godfather, you mustn't do this. Anu is the Holy Maiden's disciple."
"You're a complete waste!" Shi Gonghu glared at Tang Yu, then turned away and sighed.
"Elder Shi, Anu is my childhood friend, please spare her," Zhao Ling'er pleaded.
Shi Gonghu simply left, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered by it.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Chu Yang pitifully again, "Master Chu..."
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, "When I said to make plans early, I didn't mean to hurt Miss Anu, but to guard against the methods Baiyue might leave on her."
Xu Changqing nodded and said, "Junior brother is right. Baiyue is a member of the Miao ethnic group, knows Gu magic, and has profound magical power. We don't know what evil spells he knows, and we can't guard against him at all."
Tang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "In Master Chu's opinion, what should we do?"
Chu Yang said, "We need to split up and act separately in a short time. We can't let Anu and Miss Zhao stay together. We'll split up and head to Mount Shu in two."
Zhao Ling'er hesitated, wondering if this would be a bit unfair to Anu.
"Before we reach Mount Shu, we must minimize the possibility of encountering Baiyue."
Chu Yang expressed his biggest worry.
Given Bai Yue's personality, if things get out of his control, he's more likely to get involved personally.
This is a world of immortals and heroes, where the combat power of a BOSS cannot be represented by simple numerical values, which is the complete opposite of Saitama in the One-Punch Man world.
Witchcraft, sorcery, and magic—these abilities themselves represent many possibilities.
Let's just put it that way.
Saitama could theoretically kill any boss in the fantasy world with one punch, but if it really came down to a life-or-death struggle, Saitama would most likely be the one to die.
Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Yhwach might be a bit better than Saitama, because their abilities cannot be judged by common sense.
However, this discussion focuses on human-level bosses like Baiyue.
If it were someone of the Demon Lord Chonglou's caliber, even several people combined might not be able to withstand the attack.
They discussed the matter around the campfire all night and finally decided that Tang Yu would take Anu on the journey alone, while the rest of them would go to Mount Shu together.
However, two people are in rather awkward situations.
Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan.
They originally came out to help find Zhao Ling'er, so they should be going back to Suzhou now.
But given Lin Yueru's personality, after hearing Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er's story, she had no intention of going back and insisted on getting involved.
Her chivalrous spirit is no less than Li Xiaoyao's.
Even more outrageous was Liu Jinyuan.
"Master Chu, Master Xu, Jin Yuan wishes to join Brother Li in becoming a disciple of Mount Shu. Is that permissible?"
Liu Jinyuan stared intently at the two of them.
Not to mention Xu Changqing, even Chu Yang was stunned.
