Chapter 243 - 229: Adroit Dice; Snake Eyes Rolled Alarming the Heart
Xie Lian whispered to Hua Cheng, "I don't know what's going on with Mu Qing, but Feng Xin is looking for Jian Lan and the fetus spirit. They couldn't have..."
He couldn't have stayed behind in the Heavenly Capital, not leaving with the other heavenly officials, and ended up colliding in that series of going up and down the heavens and the earth, the flooding and burning? Or perhaps worse. Maybe, the both of them are currently in the hands of Jun Wu!
Just then, Guoshi walked over from the side, "Your Highness, there's no need to keep searching. If he's here then there's no reason to hide. There might be a lot of people here, but there aren't many worth paying attention to. Since he's not here, then he could only have gone to one place, and, it's a place he'd want you to follow him to."
Xie Lian understood, "Is it Mount TongLu?"
Guoshi nodded, "Perhaps he'd activated the Distance Shortening Array. Besides the Heavenly Capital, that's the domain where he's the most powerful."
"Huh? You're going to Mount TongLu?" Shi Qing Xuan exclaimed, "That horrifying place???"
"We've already gone once." Xie Lian said, "It's alright, not that scary. Maybe Feng Xin and Mu Qing are there too."
However, Guoshi warned, "Don't lower your guard. When you go this time, it won't be the same things waiting for you there." After a pause, he said, "I think I'll go with the both of you. Best if you could also find a few dependable martial gods to help. No one injured. If they're injured then they'd be dragging you down even if they went."
Then, that was a real challenge. "Dependable martial god?" Xie Lian wondered. Maybe there were several dependable martial gods before, but now, there weren't many left. Fallen, charred, some missing, some with a child hugging his leg wailing.
Hua Cheng spoke up, "There's no need to look for any helpers, they're all useless. Gege and I are enough."
"It definitely won't be enough." Guoshi said.
