489 Elder Luo Shan (2/2)
”You…” Li Shuncai's expression wavered. Chen Zi was actually using her own life to threaten him. He had never been so humiliated before. He did not dare to do anything that would agitate Chen Zi. If Chen Zi died, he would not have a very good end either.
”Release him,” Li Shuncai said viciously, suppressing his grievances.
Those ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect that had surrounded Zou Guangbo shared a glance. They had no choice but to retreat from the circle. They were all upset at being shouted at by Li Shuncai just because he was not in a good mood!
”Young Mistress, you…” Zou Guangbo had been saved from the situation and he breathed a sigh of relief.
”Uncle Zou, please take Little Meow and leave immediately.” Chen Zi bit her lip, her eyes constantly fixed on Li Shuncai. The only thing that she could rely on at the moment was her own life.
Little Meow was the name that Chen Zi had decided to give the Phantom Wolf Cat. Although it did not meow gently at all, Chen Zi was still very happy to call it that.
”Young Mistress, I…” Zou Guangbo did not expect such a thing to happen. He would rather fight to his death than escape at such a time.
”Uncle Zou, we have no other choice. No matter what, I will fall into their hands, you should know that as well,” Chen Zi was very calm. Since she was not able to escape, she had no choice but to die.
Zou Guangbo's lips quivered and his eyes turned red. He gripped his hands tightly into fists and he was unable to say a word.
”Uncle Zou, we don't have much time to spare,” Chen Zi said hurriedly. If the ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect surrounded the entire forest, it would be impossible for Zou Guangbo to escape.
”Young Mistress, your subordinate is useless!”
Zou Guangbo gritted his teeth and took the Phantom Wolf Cat from Chen Zi's shoulder. He then disappeared in a flash. He knew that if he did not leave immediately, it would cause more heartache to the Young Mistress. His own life did not matter, but he knew that the Young Mistress loved the Phantom Wolf Cat very much, and did not wish for it to fall in the hands of Jianyou Sect.
Li Shuncai's eyes were wide and it was as though there was fire coming out of them. However, he could only watch Zou Guangbo escape. The Phantom Wolf Cat was a rare Sixth level monstrous beast, and his heart was bleeding to see it go away.
Then, something unexpected happened. The Phantom Wolf Cat must have managed to escape from Zou Guangbo, who also returned. Turning into a black light, it appeared back by Chen Zi's side, continuing to lie on her shoulder. Its large blue eyes were fixed on Li Shuncai as if it was looking at an enemy.
”Little Meow.” Chen Zi looked at the Phantom Wolf Cat on her shoulder. She felt a prickle in her nose. She had not imagined that Little Meow would return to her side under the current circumstances. Initially, she had thought that the Phantom Wolf Cat had been willing to stay by her side only because of Mo Wen's orders.
Zou Guangbo smiled bitterly and walked back. He helplessly looked at Chen Zi as he rubbed his palms together. The Phantom Wolf Cat had amazing speed and he could not stop it even if he tried.
”Such an emotional scene. Since all of you are unwilling to leave, why not just stay behind together.” A strange figure emerged from the depths of the forest and a croaky, unhuman voice rang out. It sounded like the voice of a beast, but one could actually understand what was said.
A person cloaked entirely in a black robe appeared. His face could not be seen but the hands that were revealed looked as dry as tree bark.
”Elder Luo Shan?” A look of surprise flashed in Li Shuncai's eyes. His expression was respectful as he made a huge bow to the man in the black robe. He knelt down on one knee and was exceptionally solemn.
At the same time, he felt a great deal of relief. With Elder Luo Shan around, he believed that Chen Zi would not be able to even attempt suicide.
”Who are you?” A cautious look flashed in Chen Zi's eyes. This mysterious man in black robe had caused her to feel uneasy.
”Young Mistress Chen, as the Young Mistress of Intentionless Sect, do you not recognize me?” The mysterious man appeared in front of Chen Zi. Everything was quiet and nobody had even detected him. It was as though he had teleported.
”An ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm!” Zou Guangbo's pupils dilated and his expression fell immediately. Only an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm had such an ability to not allow anyone to feel it when he appeared within five meters of them.
”Luo Shan! Could you be the thirteenth Elder Luo Shan of the Sacred Flame Sect?”
Zou Guangbo had seemingly thought of something as he cried out all of a sudden. Previously, Jianyou Sect's Xu Zhong had accompanied Sacred Flame Sect's Elder Luo Shan to visit Panli City. After injuring the original Mayor of Panli City, they had chased him away. He had thought that Luo Shan already left Panli City, and did not expect that he would appear at such a time.
