Chapter 2144

"Talking now is pointless; what right do I have to talk?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu called out several times, but finding it had no effect, a trace of anger appeared in her eyes.

In her view, she had already lowered her status, yet Lin Moyu was still so unappreciative.

With anger, Saint Master Gu Hanyu raised her hand and struck out with a palm.

Terrifying cold gathered before Lin Moyu, instantly transforming into a female Ice War God.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's Dao True Body moved directly in front of Lin Moyu as if teleporting.

The Dao True Body thrust its spear out, and in an instant, heaven and earth were frozen; Lin Moyu was completely turned into an ice sculpture.

Lin Moyu was frozen once again, unable to move.

Amidst the roars, the spirit beast that had been battling the female Ice War God locked onto Saint Master Gu Hanyu and charged over rapidly.

The female Ice War God turned around and battled it once again.

However, after that teleportation, the combat power of the female Ice War God had clearly weakened; the teleportation had consumed a significant amount of its strength.

Blood spilled from the corner of Saint Master Gu Hanyu's mouth again, and lightning spread across her body; the injuries she had previously suppressed erupted once more.

Roars rose one after another; spirit beasts appeared in the void, charging from all directions.

These spirit beasts were all at the Dao Venerable Realm, and were powerful ones at least at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm or above.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's expression changed slightly; normally, she naturally wouldn't be afraid.

But now, most of her strength was being used to suppress her injuries, and the situation was very unfavorable for her.

She looked at Lin Moyu, her gaze extremely complex.

Lin Moyu sensed a faint killing intent in her gaze, but also some hesitation.

"What on earth is she thinking? She wanted to kill me so badly before, why is she hesitating now?"

"Is it because of Gu Nianshui? Does she still want to sever my foundation and let Gu Nianshui deal with me?"

"She told me to stop earlier, saying there was something to discuss—is that true or false?"

"She had the chance to kill me using her Dao True Body, yet she only froze and trapped me; that's really strange."

Lin Moyu couldn't understand Saint Master Gu Hanyu's inner thoughts and could only analyze her eyes, but couldn't glean much information.

More and more Dao Venerable Realm spirit beasts were coming; once surrounded, even she would be in big trouble.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu made a decision; the cold in the world surged, and her Dao True Body erupted with heaven-shaking cold, freezing the world and blocking the surrounding spirit beasts.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu reached out and pressed the air, the power of the Dao Venerable enveloping Lin Moyu, and she carried him as she flew into the dense forest, speeding away instantly.

Chapter 2601: Is That the One by Your Feet?

Saint Master Gu Hanyu carried Lin Moyu through the dense forest, moving at an astonishing speed.

Lin Moyu discovered that wherever Saint Master Gu Hanyu passed, everything was frozen, even the lingering aura was frozen.

The surroundings gradually became quiet; her Dao True Body disappeared at some point, and Saint Master Gu Hanyu wiped away all traces, vanishing from his soul's perception.

Things that Lin Moyu couldn't accomplish no matter how careful he was were so simple for Saint Master Gu Hanyu.

After flying thousands of miles, Saint Master Gu Hanyu finally stopped.

She struck a light palm towards Lin Moyu, the ice shattered, and Lin Moyu regained his freedom.

Lin Moyu asked, "What exactly does Senior want to do?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was about to speak when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her body swaying as she almost lost her footing.

She took a deep breath, slowly steadied herself, and light flowed across her body as all traces of blood vanished.

On the surface, she was still the beautiful, aloof Master of Hanshui Holy Land.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu suppressed the injuries in her body again; after being injured, she had fought several battles while wounded, and her injuries were now heavier than before.

While suppressing her injuries, she kept an eye on Lin Moyu, her gaze seeming to say, if you dare to run, I will kill you.

Lin Moyu didn't leave; he was very curious why Saint Master Gu Hanyu had changed her mind.

For a big shot like her, her Dao Heart was so firm that once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it.

There must be some special reason that made her change her initial plan.

A moment later, Saint Master Gu Hanyu let out a long breath; this breath contained rumbles of thunder, and an ancient tree was scorched by the lightning almost instantly.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "You had best answer honestly what I am about to ask, otherwise this Saint Master will surely kill you."

Lin Moyu was very relaxed and casual, "Ask away; if it's something I can tell, I will definitely tell you."

Things had reached this point, so Lin Moyu didn't need to hide anything; in any case, he knew very well that Saint Master Gu Hanyu couldn't actually kill him.

If she really wanted to kill him, the one who would die would be her.

Seeing Lin Moyu's attitude, Saint Master Gu Hanyu's anger surged, but she suppressed it again, "This Saint Master asks you, how did you obtain the Origin Technique?"

Lin Moyu shrugged, "Cannot say!"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu pressed, "What about the Undying Golden Body?"

Lin Moyu shrugged again, "Still cannot say!"

"Although you are a Saint Master, I don't know you, and you wanted to kill me before. We are enemies, not friends, so why should I tell you?"

"Audacious!" Saint Master Gu Hanyu shouted angrily, "This Saint Master asks you, and you dare not answer!"

For a moment, she brought out her Saint Master aura again.

Having lived in high positions for a long time, her aura was oppressive, making it impossible for people to look directly at her.

But Lin Moyu was completely unafraid; having lived in high positions, who wasn't?

He was a World Master; in the Great World, he was also an existence whose words were law.

Furthermore, the even stronger Daoist Tianxue called him brother; for a mere Dao Venerable 6th Realm to try to scare him was simply a dream.

Lin Moyu looked directly at Saint Master Gu Hanyu, eyes slightly narrowed, "You look quite pretty, but why is your temper so bad? If you want to kill me, just do it. Let's see who dies in the end."

"You…"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's pretty face changed abruptly; at this moment, she truly felt killing intent, but she forced it down again.

Her heaving chest showed that Saint Master Gu Hanyu's mood was somewhat agitated at this moment.

For countless years, others had always gone along with her and flattered her; when had anyone ever dared to speak to her like this?

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Believe it or not, I will capture you and lock you up."

Lin Moyu sneered, "You can try!"

Still trying to threaten him? Who's afraid of whom?

Lin Moyu now grasped Saint Master Gu Hanyu's psychology; she didn't want to kill him, but rather, she didn't dare to kill him.

Although Saint Master Gu Hanyu had lived for many years, in terms of gauging the human heart, she was really far inferior to him.

Some of Saint Master Gu Hanyu's inner thoughts could be guessed by Lin Moyu from various details, expressions, and her eyes.

The two stood in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was used to being aloof and could not lower her status to speak nicely to Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu also understood this and said softly, "You want to turn our enmity into friendship, right?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu sneered, "You are overestimating yourself."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly; he knew Saint Master Gu Hanyu still couldn't let go of her face and status, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it; I just want to tell you that I have never thought about being enemies with Hanshui Holy Land."

"From beginning to end, it was you all who came to cause me trouble, and I have never proactively looked for trouble with you."

"Before, because of the Lan Family, Dao Venerable Gu Nianhai forced us to go to Star Lord Jiaojiao's Secret Realm. Actually, I have no interest in Star Lord Jiaojiao's inheritance. I have my own Dao; I never need someone else's inheritance."

"Later, the Yin Family also took the initiative to want to kill me, and I had no choice but to fight back."

"And you, it's about the same; the injuries you suffered were also self-inflicted."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was angered by Lin Moyu's words, but Lin Moyu was speaking the truth.

Lin Moyu waved his hand, "Alright, anyway, I've said it all. From now on, we will mind our own business. You walk your broad road, and I'll walk my single-plank bridge… As long as you keep Gu Nianshui in check and keep your Hanshui Holy Land from provoking me, I won't come to provoke you either."

"No!" Saint Master Gu Hanyu interrupted Lin Moyu, "I don't trust you!"

Lin Moyu's talent was too strong; if he were allowed to grow up, and if he were to become an enemy of Hanshui Holy Land, he would be a terrifying foe.

Lin Moyu looked somewhat helpless, "Then what do you want? Make me swear a soul oath? Do you think that thing would be of any use against me?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "A soul oath is fine; it will have some constraints, more or less."

Even for her, completely violating a soul oath would require paying a price.

More importantly, a soul oath could become her stepping stone to back down and save face.

Lin Moyu said, "Actually, I also want to give you a way to back down, but I don't want to swear a soul oath; after all, I have to save face too."

"Since I said I won't proactively be an enemy of Hanshui Holy Land, I will keep my word. As for whether you believe it or not, that is your business."

"Don't follow me anymore…"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Moyu's expression suddenly changed, and Saint Master Gu Hanyu's expression changed as well.

The two shouted in unison, "Watch out!"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu reacted a step faster than Lin Moyu; she stepped forward, pushed Lin Moyu away with a palm, and at the same time, stepped sideways, retreating a hundred meters.

Two cold lights flashed past the position where the two had originally been standing; if they had been a moment slower, they would definitely have been struck by the cold lights.

Where the cold lights passed, cracks appeared in space.

Lin Moyu knew very well that given the spatial strength of the Origin Continent, anything that could slash space into cracks was also enough to kill him.

Of course, because of the jade token from Daoist Tianxue, he wouldn't die.

Even without the jade token, he could resurrect.

It was just unexpected that Saint Master Gu Hanyu would save him at the last moment.

Lin Moyu asked, "What is that thing?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's gaze was serious, "It is a Shadow Mantis, a very special spirit beast. It can turn invisible; even Dao Venerables don't find it easy to detect."

It was the first time Lin Moyu had heard of a spirit beast like the Shadow Mantis. Suddenly, he sensed spatial fluctuations and shouted, "Watch out!"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu had already left the spot a step faster than him, and another cold light flashed past the place where they had originally been standing.

A towering ancient tree nearby was severed by the cold light and crashed down with a boom.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's cold aura surged, and the surroundings froze one after another, "Shadow Mantises generally don't act alone. They are the symbiotic spirit beasts of the Three-Colored Phantom Snake. Where a Shadow Mantis appears, there is a high probability that a Three-Colored Phantom Snake will appear."

Lin Moyu looked at Saint Master Gu Hanyu, "The Three-Colored Phantom Snake you mentioned, is it the one by your feet?"

Chapter 2602: Husband and Wife Are Like a lianli branch, Sharing Fate and Death Together

Saint Master Gu Hanyu looked down and indeed saw a small snake.

The small snake had already opened its mouth and bitten over.

She let out a cry of alarm, cold aura erupting from her body to defend, while simultaneously pulling back her leg to dodge.

But it was a step too late; the Three-Colored Phantom Snake was not affected by the cold aura, and it was a step faster than Saint Master Gu Hanyu, biting onto her calf.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu let out a scream, her aura surging throughout her body, and the Three-Colored Phantom Snake was shaken off.

On Saint Master Gu Hanyu's calf, two inconspicuous little wounds appeared.

The wounds were inconspicuous, but Saint Master Gu Hanyu's expression was like someone who had lost a parent, looking extremely ugly.

Lin Moyu asked, "Are you alright?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu used ice to seal her calf and said in a low voice, "We are in trouble now."

Lin Moyu asked, "This snake should be poisonous, right?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu nodded, "It's poisonous, and not just ordinary poison."

Her gaze dimmed, and her aloof temperament dissipated along with it, as if she had fallen from a divine position, turning from a Holy Land Master into an ordinary woman.

"You go quickly; I will hold them off."

Cold aura surged, and the surrounding space froze in layers.

Spatial fluctuations appeared again, the Shadow Mantis's blade slashed past, and within the spatial cracks, the ice layer kept shattering.
