Chapter 70: Changing Body? (1/2)

”Ah Niu, where are we going?”

Against the storm, the three of them stepped on driftwood at one moment and leaned on the roof at the other. Without exquisite movement techniques, it was indeed quite difficult to walk.

”Don't worry. You'll know when we get there.”

Ah Niu stood steadily in the wind and rain. When his voice was heard, it was slightly muffled by the wind, so the two of them did not notice the emotionless coldness in his words.

Da Qiang and Da Chen were a little helpless, but they had already followed the other party out. Since they could not turn back, they could only follow their 'friend' and continue forward.

After walking for a long time, Ah Niu finally brought them to a large and thick tree.

”Is this it? What are you showing us?”

At this moment, the two of them were already exhausted to the point of gasping for breath. Even if they were at the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm, they would not have much stamina left after working overtime for three consecutive days. Coupled with the fact that they had been rushing all the way here, they were really exhausted.

However, the tree was located in a good location. It seemed that because of the higher altitude, the surrounding area was not flooded by water. The feeling of being on solid ground made them feel much more comfortable.

Ah Niu reached out and patted the tree. The tree immediately split open, forming a tree hole that could fit a person.

”Come, come in first. You'll know when you come in.” Ah Niu replied.

After asking several times, Ah Niu refused to give a positive response. The two of them finally noticed something amiss.

Coupled with the unfamiliarity between the other party's two days of absence and words, the two of them looked at each other and took a step back.

”Ah Niu! Are you…”

Bang! Bang!

But it was too late!

Unknowingly, a black figure had already flashed behind them. After two muffled sounds, the eyes of Da Qiang and Da Chen rolled back as they lost consciousness.

The black shadow stepped forward and pried open their right hands. Sure enough, in their palms, they were already holding onto the lightning cracker that the sect had given them, ready to trigger it at any moment.

The black figure skillfully removed the lightning cracker and stuffed it into his pockets. At this moment, Ah Niu walked over.

”Junior Brother, how could I forget you when I have good things to share? Don't worry, you'll become an inner sect disciple soon.”

He and the black shadow dragged the two of them into the tree hole. After that, the tree hole closed, and no one could see any abnormalities on the surface.

...

A moment later, the water nearby suddenly churned slightly, and a person wearing a grayish-blue mask emerged from the bottom of the water.

”You want to shake me off after throwing away your mask? You're looking down on me too much.”

Long after the first person disappeared, Jiang Li had already forcefully planted a seed in the two of them. As long as there was no special shielding like the Yin Burial Coffin, it was very difficult to escape his pursuit.

Jiang Li walked forward step by step and broke free from the puddles. In order to not be discovered by them, Jiang Li relied on the fact that he was not afraid of drowning and dived all the way from the bottom.

”What's with this tree? Is it a Wood attribute spell technique?”

Jiang Li patted the tree but did not find any issues. He had a Wood attribute spiritual root, but even he could not discover this entrance. The person who set it up really had some methods.

However, he did not have to care about this matter. As long as he confirmed the exact location, all he had to do was report and ask for help.

He raised his wrist and shook it towards the sky. Jiang Li was about to shoot the lightning cracker.

A glaring red light blossomed in his palm. In the next moment, the red light shot straight up into the sky. In the pitch-black night, it drew a striking red line before exploding into a ball of light that could light up the surroundings.

The brightness could be seen clearly even by the flying ship floating far away from the city.

Furthermore, the red line and bright spot, which were based on some unknown technique, did not dissipate for a long time in the wind and rain, becoming the most conspicuous sign.

On the other hand, Jiang Li was slightly surprised, and he sized up the surroundings under the illumination of the ball of light.

He had deliberately slowed down just now, but no one came out to stop him?

”Junior Brother, are you looking for me?”

On the tree, the tree hole opened again, and the black figure from before walked out unhurriedly.

Under the illumination of the ball of light in the sky, Jiang Li finally saw the other party's face clearly.

”Oh? Is Senior Brother Guo An here to relax?”

The person who came out of the tree hole was the so-called outer sect's Eldest Senior Brother, Guo An!

Guh!

While the two of them spoke, their movements were not slow in the slightest. Jiang Li's hand struck towards the other party's chest.

However, he was still too late. His black fingernails had just touched the other party's clothes when a golden needle more than two feet long pierced through his body.

His attack lost its threat immediately.

This golden needle magic artifact had a special power. Jiang Li's body instantly slowed down, and his attack movements seemed to have been slowed down by ten times. It was easily dodged by Guo An.

Pew! Pew!

His slow movements were utterly unable to effectively dodge or counterattack. Another two golden needles were inserted into his body, and the spirit energy on the three golden needles formed a special kind of shackle. This time, ”Jiang Li” was completely unable to move.

”Senior Brother Guo An… or rather, one of the inner sect senior brothers, looks like you don't plan to kill me right now?”

Jiang Li, who was sealed by the golden needles, did not stop talking. He still calmly and amicably chatted with the other party.

Guo An paused, then returned to normal. Without answering his question, he dragged ”Jiang Li” into the tree hole.

”Senior Brother is really cold. We're all fellow disciples of the same sect. We can't fight like this, right?”

Guo An remained silent.
