Chapter 2553: The Fisherman Profiting Off the Brawling Fishes
With a wave of her sleeves, the Goddess of Wu Mountain vanished, causing Nuba’s attack to fall empty.
Nuba looked at the surrounding fog and sneered, “Yaoji, do you think I won’t be able to suppress you just because you morphed into a fog? That might be true for others, but that doesn’t include me!”
Her robe flared outward as her unkempt hair fluttered furiously. A visible heat wave began spreading from her, causing earth to crack and spirit springs to dry up. The lush trees on the mountain swiftly withered.
It looked as if the vibrant Wu Mountain had turned barren in an instant. Even the fog shrouding the mountain slowly dissipated, and not a single cloud was left.
Xingtian and Kuafu couldn’t help but speak up. “Madam, this matter...”
“Shut up! This has nothing to do with you, so don’t do anything unnecessary and side with outsiders!” Nuba roared.
Xingtian and Kuafu exchanged awkward looks. Nuba was the wife of an Ancestral Shaman, so they didn’t dare to offend her. That put them in a tough spot.
Yumen Beiqing roared, “We were the ones who informed the Goddess of Wu Mountain about Gu’s murder of Bao Jiang. You’re wronging her!”
Zu An was taken aback. He had indeed planned to stand up for the Goddess of Wu Mountain, but he hadn’t expected Yumen Beiqing to beat him to it. Didn’t she get jealous the last time I spoke with the goddess? What an abrupt change of mind!
“It’s you!” Nuba suddenly turned around. Her black fingernails grew longer as she swiped them at Yumen Beiqing, resembling spears.
Yumen Beiqing reacted fast. She activated the Emperor’s Suppression Talisman and swiftly conjured a golden-armored warrior. The warrior brandished its weapon to stop the black fingernails.
