Chapter 28: Ding Wugu Battles

“Whoosh!” A streak of red light shot from afar, instantly landing before Yang Zhijiu.

“Vermilion Bird? Have you found the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus?” Yang Zhijiu’s expression shifted.

“No, not yet. But I sensed Big Brother! Azure Dragon and White Tiger have also entered here! The Holy Maiden should be here too!” Vermilion Bird said excitedly.

“Oh?” Yang Zhijiu raised an eyebrow.

“Impossible! Weren’t they trapped in the cage?” Ding Wugu suddenly exclaimed.

“It’s true. The four of us have secret methods allowing us to sense each other within short distances. Black Tortoise should have gone to find the Holy Maiden!” Vermilion Bird shook her head.

“We endured countless hardships and broke through dozens of great formations to get here. Yan Chuan and the others were supposed to be imprisoned, weren’t they? Could it be that Yan Chuan deceived me again? He lied to me again? Damn it!” Ding Wugu’s eyes revealed a fierce glare.

Yang Zhijiu’s expression changed slightly. “So, Black Tortoise went to find them?”

“Yes, Young Master Yang. Go and meet up with the Holy Maiden!” Vermilion Bird said.

Ding Wugu’s expression flickered as he glanced at the snake-infested valley. His one eye suddenly narrowed.

“No, have the Holy Maiden and the others come here!” Ding Wugu said immediately.

“Hm?” Vermilion Bird was puzzled.

“We agreed to wait here for Master Wen Ruo. You know his abilities. Perhaps he has already found clues about the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus. It would be disastrous if he can’t find us later. We’ll wait here for Master Wen Ruo; you bring the Holy Maiden here!” Ding Wugu explained.

After speaking, Ding Wugu gave Yang Zhijiu a meaningful glance.

Yang Zhijiu understood, nodding. “Very well, we shall wait here.”

Seeing Yang Zhijiu’s resolve, Vermilion Bird could only agree. “Alright, Young Master Yang, be careful. We’ll come quickly!”

“Good!” Yang Zhijiu nodded.

“Whoosh!”

Vermilion Bird strode forward and shot off toward the distance.

As Vermilion Bird left, Ding Wugu immediately knelt and bowed toward Yang Zhijiu.

“Young Master Yang, Yan Chuan must have escaped. I want all his three thousand soldiers dead, slain by the venomous snakes piercing their hearts!” Ding Wugu said fiercely, pointing at the countless poisonous serpents in the valley.

“Venomous snakes piercing their hearts?” Yang Zhijiu’s expression shifted.

“They will die right here in this valley. There are hundreds of thousands of poisonous snakes. Young Master Yang, as a Qi Realm master, please place a Qi Wall along the valley to block the snakes. When I lead Yan Chuan’s army into the Qi Wall, I will shatter it, trapping them in the serpent’s den, pierced through by the venomous snakes!” Ding Wugu said bitterly.

Yan Chuan was on a hill nearby.

Suddenly, Black Tortoise and Vermilion Bird appeared before Mo Yuxi.

“Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, it truly is you!” Azure Dragon smiled.

“Holy Maiden, Big Brother, Second Brother!” The two were overjoyed.

“When did you arrive here?” Mo Yuxi asked anxiously.

“Just yesterday; we also just entered here. Master Wen Ruo said this should be the deepest place, where the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus should be!” Vermilion Bird quickly replied.

“Indeed. Have you found the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus?” Mo Yuxi asked worriedly.

“Not yet. We were searching separately just now, but suddenly sensed Big Brother and came here!” Black Tortoise said.

“That’s good!” Mo Yuxi exhaled a long breath.

“Young Master Yang is waiting over there for Master Wen Ruo. Let me lead the Holy Maiden to meet up!” Vermilion Bird said.

“Meet up? That’s good!” Mo Yuxi showed a trace of confidence.

Since the Myriad Marvelous Demon Lotus hadn’t been found, there was still a chance.

“Master Yan?” Mo Yuxi looked toward Yan Chuan.

“Very well, lead the way!” Yan Chuan smiled.
