349 Willingly Taking the Bait
“This brat has always been full of schemes. Although we’re not afraid of him, if he chooses to run, it will be very difficult for us to catch him.” He Youliang said in a deep voice.
“If that brat didn’t have the ability, he would have died before entering the river of forgetfulness. Now that he has formed his Dao Foundation, he’s probably even more difficult to capture.” Liu Youcheng agreed.
“He has only built his Dao Foundation. The lightning tribulation hasn’t descended yet. I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive even if we don’t do anything.” Shangguan Fei’s gaze on He Youliang suddenly darkened.
He unconsciously raised his voice, but he did not expect to wake up the magical beasts who were engrossed in the auspicious sign.
As soon as the demonic beast woke up, it let out a furious roar that penetrated the entire ancient temple!
At the same time, all the demonic beasts were awakened and took the lead in pouncing fiercely at Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng. The ancient temple, which had just quieted down, was filled with the roars of beasts, which echoed in the sky.
The magical beasts charged forward one after another, fearlessly charging forward.
The battle resumed.
He Youliang, who was outside the battlefield, immediately had his eyes flash.
“That little thief Gu Mingzhou is very cunning and cunning. If we let him escape, it will be very difficult to find him.” He Youliang cupped his hands in the air as he spoke.
He did not wait for Shangguan Fei or Liu Youcheng’s answer.
He immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the horizon.
“He Youliang!” Shangguan Fei’s expression immediately turned ugly.
How could he not understand what He Youliang was thinking?
Gu Mingzhou had obtained the Qing Emperor’s inheritance. Whoever caught Gu Mingzhou first would have the greatest hope of obtaining the inheritance.
He Youliang said to stand on the moral high ground.
In fact, he just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Shangguan Fei, Liu Youcheng, and even the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog and monopolize the Qing Emperor’s inheritance.
Shangguan Fei naturally saw through her little trick immediately.
However, so what if he saw through it?
Now that Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng were surrounded by hundreds of demonic beasts, it would be difficult for them to escape, so how could they stop He Youliang?
Shangguan Fei reached his right hand to his waist and drew out the three-foot-long Qingfeng sword. The blade was as thin as a cicada’s wing. He immediately waved it in the air, and the sword intent shot out in all directions, injuring several demonic beasts.
He was clearly angry and wanted to chase away the demonic beast as soon as possible or kill it so that he could escape and chase after Gu Mingzhou to prevent He Youliang from taking the inheritance for himself.
From Shangguan Fei’s point of view, it was much easier to obtain the Qing Emperor’s inheritance from Gu Mingzhou than from He Youliang.
Obviously, Shangguan Fei was not the only one who had this idea.
Just as Shangguan Fei was about to unsheathe his sword and attack, a high-pitched Dragon’s roar came from behind him and spread to the ninth heaven.
Liu Youcheng revealed his true form as a five-clawed Golden Dragon.
The five-clawed Golden Dragon was over a hundred meters long. With a sweep of its tail, it sent several demonic beasts flying.
However, these magical beasts did not seem to feel pain. Even if they were swept away by the Dragon’s tail, they would quickly return.
Then re-enter the battlefield.
Even though they were wounded by the three-foot-long sword and were bleeding, they did not feel any fear and continued to attack.
Moreover, the appearance of the five-clawed Golden Dragon and the sharpness of Shangguan Fei’s long sword seemed to have stimulated these magical beasts even more, making them even angrier and charging forward one after another!
The battlefield at the altar of the ancient temple suddenly turned white hot, and the fighting became more intense.
He Youliang knew that he could not hide this from Shangguan Fei, so he flew at full speed and quickly left the old temple.
Just as Shangguan Fei had guessed, He Youliang’s main purpose for being so active was, of course, to find Gu Mingzhou and then seize the inheritance.
The Qing Emperor’s inheritance was like a hot potato in Gu Mingzhou’s hands. It would be snatched by others.
Gu Mingzhou’s cultivation was too weak after all. Even with Jing Wudao’s help, Shangguan Fei and the others didn’t take him seriously.
Although the current He Youliang’s cultivation was the weakest on the surface, after obtaining the Qing Emperor’s inheritance, his power would definitely increase greatly.
As long as he could improve his cultivation, he could even surpass Shangguan Fei and become the most powerful existence in this world.
“As long as I get the inheritance, Shangguan Fei will also be defeated by me!” He Youliang was walking quickly through the lush forest.
At the thought of this, he looked forward to the Qing Emperor’s inheritance even more. He immediately increased his speed, somewhat eager to catch Gu Mingzhou.
Just as He Youliang arrived at the southeastern beach of the island, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
He wasn’t standing tall and straight, and he was holding a black spear.
He Youliang’s pupils constricted, and he instantly landed in a towering tree to the side, his figure concealed.
“Hmm?” the figure who was standing with his back to him sensed something and turned around in confusion, revealing a slightly pale face.
The man’s breathing was weak.
His long and narrow eyes looked behind him as if he was looking for movement.
“One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to!” He Youliang, who was hiding among the trees, could not help but feel happy.
The person in front was Gu Mingzhou!
Gu Mingzhou held the spear tightly in his right hand and looked carefully at the dense forest. He could not find He Youliang, who was hiding, so he turned his head back as if waiting for something and looked ahead.
“This brat has always been cunning. Now that he has obtained the Qing Emperor’s inheritance and is standing here alone, I’m afraid there’s a trap!” He Youliang began to doubt.
He slowly retracted his right foot, which had taken half a step forward, and continued to hide, waiting for an opportunity.
Gu Mingzhou seemed to be a little impatient from waiting. His long spear was stuck in the ground.
“The heavens are really helping me. It looks like Jing Wudao isn’t even here!” A sinister smile appeared on He Youliang’s face.
His excitement made the smile on his face even more obvious.
Jing Wudao wasn’t around, so Gu Mingzhou was no doubt a defenseless person. He naturally didn’t need to hide.
“Who is it?” with a panicked expression, Gu Mingzhou quickly held his spear to protect himself. He turned around and shouted.
“Little brat, how have you been?” He Youliang immediately leaped down from the tree branch and answered with a smile.
The moment Gu Mingzhou saw He Youliang, his expression turned ugly, and he turned to escape.
Since He Youliang had chosen not to hide, he would definitely not let Gu Mingzhou escape so easily.
A ripple that was hard to detect with the naked eye suddenly shot out. Gu Mingzhou had just jumped up when he was instantly enveloped by it.
It was as if Gu Mingzhou had hit a wall. He was instantly sent flying back, staggering backward, almost falling.
“What is this?” Gu Mingzhou looked at the empty space in front of him in disbelief. His body, which had just stabilized, unconsciously took two steps forward and reached out to touch it.
An invisible wall appeared in the ordinary void. It felt very real. He flew directly into the sky.
In Gu Mingzhou’s opinion, since the road ahead was blocked, the sky would not be blocked, right?
Just as he flew about ten meters high, his ideas were proven wrong.
Once again, he hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground, kicking up dust.
“Since I dared to appear, I naturally won’t let you escape!” He Youliang said directly.
“A barrier?” Gu Mingzhou no longer thought about escaping. Instead, he got up from the ground and said in a cold voice.
After two tests, he could only think of barriers when he touched a wall that he couldn’t see.
One had to rely on a formation to cast a barrier, and the process was cumbersome.
He Youliang had clearly just arrived here, so it was impossible for him to set up a barrier in such a short time.
