Chapter 44: The Strange Events at Green Dragon Mountain

"What technique did you just use?"

As soon as Yi Qianmo came back, Zhou Lanting asked.

"As my bodyguard, I haven’t asked you anything, yet you are the one asking me?" Yi Qianmo replied irritably.

If it weren’t for being under Yi Qianmo’s control, Zhou Lanting would have loved to slap him, but he quickly reacted and took out a top-grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

Yi Qianmo chuckled and swallowed it in one bite, sitting down to digest the effects, his spiritual power recovering a lot.

"Let’s forget about what just happened, but I don’t want a second time."

Yi Qianmo stood up and said.

"Are you still feeling brave?"

Zhou Lanting glared at him, "If you didn’t meddle in others’ business, would you be in danger? Besides, aren’t you confident you can defeat that Black-aura Giant Ape?"

"I may be confident, but as a bodyguard, you are not doing your job."

Yi Qianmo said, "Besides, I’m not meddling; the blood of the Black-aura Giant Ape is extremely powerful and is perfect for making the Body Origin Fixing Pill. Don’t you know that?"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Lanting was surprised and said, "The Qi Refining Stage top-grade Body Origin Fixing Pill, do you really have the formula?"

"Of course, if I can find a few more magical herbs, I can create a batch."

Yi Qianmo nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "I remember you have a Yangming grass in your cave; give it to me."

"Get lost!"

Zhou Lanting replied with one word.

"Greedy."

Yi Qianmo glanced at him and said, "That little monk just said the Black-aura Giant Ape appeared suddenly. Do you think that’s believable?"

"Aren’t you trying to establish your authority?"

Zhou Lanting looked coldly at him, "Why not just kill him directly?"

"Are you crazy?"

Yi Qianmo replied irritably, "I practice the way of righteousness, not the way of evil. Besides, even if I practiced evil, I shouldn’t kill innocents."

"He is lying."

Zhou Lanting said, "This little monk is not ordinary; he must be lying. You can’t really think that a Black-aura Giant Ape just appeared on Green Dragon Mountain for no reason, can you?"

"Hmm!"

Thinking about the little monk’s gaze just now, Yi Qianmo did not feel he was lying, but Zhou Lanting made a good point; this is even more ridiculous than a Pill Furnace falling from the sky.

He was about to go back and ask the little monk for clarification when another loud roar echoed through the mountain, making everyone feel a chill.

Yi Qianmo looked at Zhou Lanting, who had a blank expression on her face.

When the two arrived, they found the battle had already ended. In the distance, a spirit beast lay on the ground, and dozens of cultivators were collecting its essence blood.

"Su Muyu!"

Zhou Lanting said coldly, "I’ll step aside for now."

The leader was Su Muyu, but the people beside her were unfamiliar; none were ordinary people, all were cultivators at the Qi Refining Stage.

Before Yi Qianmo could speak, Zhou Lanting suddenly vanished. He did not stop her; Zhou Lanting would definitely not run away unless he truly wanted to cause trouble.

"Who?"

"Which sect are you from, and why are you here?"

When the crowd saw Yi Qianmo approaching, they looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

"Step aside."

Su Muyu saw Yi Qianmo and smiled, immediately coming over, saying, "Old…"

"Can we talk for a moment?"

Yi Qianmo interrupted her.

Su Muyu nodded and quickly followed Yi Qianmo away.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Su Muyu asked.

"Can’t I come?"

Yi Qianmo replied.

"It’s not that, but if you come to Green Dragon Mountain, it could be troublesome if something happens."

Su Muyu said with a worried look.

"What could happen?"

Yi Qianmo looked at her in confusion, "Did you see Yu Youwei?"

"No." Su Muyu shook her head.

"Is that what happened in Green Cloud City, and it reached Green Dragon Mountain?" Yi Qianmo asked.

"No, right now all the cultivators on Green Dragon Mountain are busy hunting spirit beasts, so they can’t pay attention to what’s happening in Green Cloud City."

Su Muyu said, "Also, it seems that Yu Youwei only knows that your energy center has recovered, but she doesn’t know you have become an immortal. I’m worried that if you run into Yu Youwei, what if you can’t control yourself…"

"Are you afraid she will kill me?" Yi Qianmo scoffed, "Or are you afraid I will kill her?"

"This time, you definitely can’t kill her."

Su Muyu said with a wry smile, "This time many strong experts from Xuanyuan Sect have come; there are ten who are at least at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and that doesn’t include those who will come later."

"Hmm!"

Yi Qianmo frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Did you see that spirit beast?"

Su Muyu pointed to the crowd in the distance and said, "Many spirit beasts suddenly appeared in the mountains. The major sects do not have enough people and have already asked for help. It won’t be long before the powerful experts from these forces arrive."

"What happened with these spirit beasts? Did they really just show up suddenly?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"I don’t know either. I came to the mountains to talk to Yu Youwei, hoping to resolve the hatred between you and her."

Seeing Yi Qianmo’s troubled expression, Su Muyu explained, "You know that fighting against the Xuanyuan Sect in Green Dragon Mountain won’t solve anything. Besides, you might not be able to defeat her. I heard she is now at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage!"

"The fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage!"

Yi Qianmo looked surprised. "So soon?"

"If she didn’t have talent for cultivation, Xuanyuan Sect wouldn’t have noticed her."

Su Muyu said, "Of course, revenge is important, but with your current level of skill, it’s not the right time. Moreover, you have a family to consider. I hope you will go to Tianyuan Academy to train first. When your abilities surpass hers, it will be the right time for revenge."

"Isn’t it good now?"

Yi Qianmo said with a smile, "Moreover, with your knowledge of her, do you think she will wait for me?"

Su Muyu thought for a moment and shook her head, "No."

"Since everyone is unwilling to wait, let’s solve the matter at Green Dragon Mountain!"

Yi Qianmo said, "I’ll take care of Yu Youwei, and the rest of you handle the others. You send someone to find Yu Youwei, and I will wait for her right here!"

"But, with your current strength…"

Su Muyu looked very worried; the second level of the Qi Refining Stage was far too weak compared to the fifth level.

"Just find her, and as for how to deal with it, that’s my problem!" Yi Qianmo interrupted.

Su Muyu sighed and led Yi Qianmo back to the crowd. Without waiting for their questions, Su Muyu ordered, "From now on, his safety is the same as mine; you must do your best to protect him!"

Hearing Su Muyu’s words, the ten cultivators present were confused. The leader said, "Your Highness, our duty is to protect you. What is he to us?"

Su Muyu’s expression turned cold. She said, "Are you deaf? When did it become your place to question my orders? I tell you, if anything happens to him, you will never return to Tianyuan Academy. Understand?"

The man immediately stepped back and murmured an agreement with the others.

"Liu Qingfeng, go find someone from the Xuanyuan Sect and tell them I need to discuss something important," Su Muyu ordered. "The rest of you, set up camp here and take turns keeping watch."

A young man stepped forward; he was the same cultivator who had questioned her before, at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Although the others did not understand why they had to stay here, they did not dare question her orders.
