Chapter 794: On the Way Down the Mountain 2

The order to descend the mountain this time was very hasty; Su Luo left with Zi Yu the very next day.

Rong Yun watched Su Luo's receding back, a complex light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Master, aren't you afraid something might happen to Junior Sister?" Zi Ran asked worriedly.

Having spent over half a year together, Zi Ran had already come to treat Su Luo as his own sister, and his words carried a hint of protectiveness toward her.

Great Master Rong Yun sighed slowly after a long while: "If she cannot even pass this trial, how can this continent rely on her in the future…"

After waiting for a long time, Zi Ran still didn't hear the second half of the sentence.

"This continent relies on Junior Sister?" Zi Ran's eyes widened in surprise.

"Heaven's secrets must not be revealed." Great Master Rong Yun looked toward the east where the sky was filled with rosy clouds, a complex light flashing through his ink-black eyes.

This was her inevitable mission as the Goddess.

There was no escaping it.

He only hoped she could grow up quickly, because the time left for her was not much.

Su Luo was completely unaware of the high expectations Great Master Rong Yun had for her.

At this moment, she and Zi Yu were rushing along the road toward the Demonic Beast Forest.

"Hey, I say, Ice Block Senior Brother, can we stop and rest for a bit?"

Sweat beaded on Su Luo's smooth forehead; her hands were on her waist as she breathlessly pulled at Zi Yu.

Zi Yu was clearly unaccustomed to others getting close; with a slight movement of his body, Su Luo's hand missed its mark.

Zi Yu frowned. Those eyes, habitually as cold as frost, looked at Su Luo indifferently before he sat cross-legged in the nearby shade.

Seeing him like this, Su Luo couldn't help but sigh.

They had been out for a few days, but in all her conversations with Zi Yu, he had only spoken a total of three words.

Mm, Ah, Oh.

That's right, just those three words; sometimes he would simply frown without even a grunt.

Last time when she was abducted by Nangong Liuyun to the Sunset Mountain Range, at least there was a Dragon Scale Horse to gallop all the way.

But this time, Zi Yu actually wouldn't let her ride a Dragon Scale Horse, forcing her to use Lightwork to travel the whole way, claiming it was Master's intention.

Furthermore, this Senior Brother Zi Yu was even more severe than Master when he got serious!

After rushing for three days and nights straight, he actually didn't give her a moment's rest!

Finally having a bit of time to rest, Su Luo quickly found a shaded spot to sit cross-legged and meditate, recovering her Origin Qi.

However, before she could even enter a state of cultivation, she instinctively sensed danger.

Su Luo snapped her eyes open, only to see Zi Yu with his eyes tightly shut, steadily immersed in cultivation.

With Senior Brother Zi Yu's strength, it was impossible for him not to sense it… Su Luo frowned slightly.

At that exact moment, Su Luo's brow suddenly twitched.

Danger!

An arrow with the momentum of a thunderbolt shot violently toward Su Luo's back!

Out of instinctive reaction, Su Luo performed a series of backflips; it took thirteen consecutive backflips to barely dodge the arrow's attack.

Just as Su Luo was about to warn Zi Yu, she suddenly discovered—

He was gone!

Damn it, just when his help was needed, where did he go?

Before Su Luo could finish her internal grumbling, a figure gradually became clear in mid-air.

Li Yaoxiang!

Li Yaoyao's Second Uncle, an Eighth-rank expert!

Su Luo's heart tightened slightly.

"Heh, Stinky Girl, it wasn't in vain that my Yaochi Li Family hid at the foot of Cloud Mist Peak for so long; you finally came down the mountain."

In mid-air, Li Yaoxiang looked down at Su Luo contemptuously, a bloodthirsty sneer curling his lips.

Su Luo's eyes narrowed dangerously: "Li Yaoxiang, if you dare to move against me, aren't you afraid my Master will be enraged and tear down your Yaochi Li Family!"

"Three days' journey away from Cloud Mist Peak, even if Great Master Rong Yun were an immortal, he wouldn't be able to find out." Li Yaoxiang's single sentence cut off all of Su Luo's hope.

Senior Brother Zi Yu was nowhere to be seen, and the Little Divine Dragon was in its Dormant Period… Su Luo felt she was extremely unlucky.
