Chapter 2224 - 2224 Not Someone You Can Reach

2224 Not Someone You Can Reach

The surroundings fell into dead silence.

After a while, Chu Liuyue heard her own voice. “Golden heavenly lightning.”

Mu Dongyou’s sickle was even closer, as if it would cut off her head the next moment!

“What else?” He continued to force an answer.

His eyes seemed to have substance. When they landed on Chu Liuyue, they seemed to be even sharper than his sickle.

Those with weaker minds and willpower probably didn’t dare to look at him at all.

Chu Liuyue’s gaze was steady, and her expression was magnanimous. “Nothing else.”

Mu Dongyou stared intently at her as if a.s.sessing the credibility of her words.

The two sides fell silent into an almost suffocating confrontation.

After an unknown period of time, Mu Dongyou finally put away the sickle.

Swoos.h.!.+

“You don’t want to know the outcome of lying to me.” His cold tone was still filled with warning and threat. However, it was obvious that he temporarily believed Chu Liuyue’s words.

This wasn’t because he believed in Chu Liuyue but because he believed in the defense of the lightning pool.

Under the layers of barriers, ordinary people couldn’t approach at all, let alone anything else.

“Thank you, Fourth Deity.” Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately… I sensed that something was wrong just now and immediately grabbed Tuan Zi to run.

At that time, the surrounding golden lightning quickly surged up and returned to its previous state.

When Mu Dongyou arrived, he saw that Chu Liuyue was still a distance away from the ball of golden lightning. If not for that, Chu Liuyue knew that it would be extremely difficult for her to escape!

Her gaze turned slightly, and she quickly glanced at the golden heavenly lightning that had already returned to its original position.

It was dazzling and domineering!

If it weren’t for the pain from the collision on her lower back, she would’ve thought that everything just now was just a dream.

She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.

“I didn’t know that this was a forbidden area of the lightning pool. Please forgive me for offending you. I’ll leave quickly.” As Chu Liuyue spoke, she wanted to retreat and leave.

“Wait!” Mu Dongyou suddenly spoke.

Mu Dongyou stared at her for a while. “Your Holy Body… came from the G.o.d-Destroying Tribulation?”

He couldn’t mistake the flash of brilliance on her.

Chu Liuyue nodded.

“No wonder,” Mu Dongyou muttered in relief. “Although it’s a serious crime for you to barge into the forbidden area, I’ll let you off this time on account that you’re new. In addition, being able to come here alone is enough to show your talent.”

Mu Dongyou was responsible for guarding this place all year round, but this was the first time he saw a legendary warrior barge in here. Therefore, he still admired Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue didn’t expect him to say this and was stunned for a moment.

Mu Dongyou’s gaze swept across the token on her waist, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes. “What a pity…”

Chu Liuyue’s heart moved.

It had to be said that she had been getting impatient with these words recently. Unfortunately, she couldn’t say anything now.

But when the golden lightning flew over to attack her just now, the s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows was extremely hot. This had happened more than once, but Chu Liuyue didn’t know what was going on either. She couldn’t even control when it appeared and disappeared.

Her lips curled up, and she said, “Things like bloodline totems are destined. Instead of wasting your time on this, why don’t you use this time to do other meaningful things?”

“You’re quite thorough.” Mu Dongyou laughed.

Originally, he didn’t take Chu Liuyue seriously, but after hearing what she said, he felt that this girl’s personality was open-minded and was quite rare.

“Alright, go back. If you want to cultivate in the future, just stay in the area outside. Don’t come here again.” Mu Dongyou shook his head. “Never again.”

“Yes.” Chu Liuyue nodded her head and left.

After she left, Mu Dongyou turned around to look.

In the lightning pool, the ball of golden lightning was silent.

He looked at it steadily for a long time.

…

Si Jing quickly found the courtyard where Cen Yi and the others lived.

As soon as he reached the door, it opened from the inside.

Cen Yi was standing at the door.

Si Jing grinned. “Big Brother!”

Cen Yi nodded. “You came quickly.”

As he spoke, he walked in.

Si Jing followed and smiled. “After receiving Big Brother’s message, I immediately came here without stopping! Fortunately, it’s not too late!”

With that, he looked around the courtyard. “Where’s Master? Isn’t she here?”

“Master is in the lightning pool and hasn’t returned yet,” Cen Yi said.

“Lightning pool?” Si Jing looked in a certain direction. “Over there?”

Although they were quite far away, the great power of the heavenly lightning was still very easy to tell.

Cen Yi nodded. “You can go and take a look when you have time. It’s a good place.”

“Huh? Oh, okay!” Si Jing didn’t think too much about it.

Anyway, Big Brother was right.

At this moment, Hua Shuangshuang walked out of the house.

“Fourth Brother, you’re here. Eh, you’ve already broken through to become a legendary warrior?!” Hua Shuangshuang looked stunned. “Haven’t you been in Tianling? How did you break through so quickly?”

He was only a true G.o.d now.

Si Jing laughed. “Second Brother, it’s not that I’m too fast but that you’re too slow! Although Tianling is outside the G.o.d Residence Realm, there are a few places that are very suitable for cultivation. In the middle, I returned to Dahuang Swamp a few times and stayed there for a period of time. I then went to the G.o.d Residence Realm and broke through.”

“Dahuang Swamp?”

“That’s right. I went to Mirror Lake. I wanted to go to the Red Moon Desert to take a look, but it was already locked down at that time. Ordinary people couldn’t enter at all, so I didn’t go.”

Hua Shuangshuang nodded in understanding.

He knew that a few years ago, Si Jing had been staying in the Mystic Forest with Cen Yi. But after the Mystic Forest was destroyed, and Master brought Tuan Zi back, they never went there again.

Among the Thirteen Yue Guards, there were probably not many people who understood the Dahuang Swamp better than the two of them. It was normal for him to go back.

Si Jing looked at Cen Yi. “Big Brother, why did you ask me to come over in a hurry this time?”

…

Qiang Wanzhou arrived at the entrance of a courtyard—this was Liang He’s residence.

He knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

Liang He quickly walked out of the house. “Who is it?”

When he came to the courtyard and saw Qiang Wanzhou standing outside, he instantly hesitated. “You are—”

“This is yours. I’ll return it to you.” Qiang Wanzhou took out all the herbs and placed them at the door before leaving.

Liang He was stunned and hurriedly shouted, “Wait a minute!”

Qiang Wanzhou stopped in his tracks and half-turned around. There was no expression on his exquisite and cold face. “Is there anything else?”

Liang He was stared at by those clear, clean, but cold eyes. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “This is… Miss Xiao Ba’s idea?”

Qiang Wanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly. “She is Master’s woman. She’s not someone you can reach.”
