Elder Meng left with the Long family shadow guards and headed towards the depths of Qiuru Mountain.
"What are we going to do?" Shadow Guard asked.
Elder Meng glanced at him and said calmly: "As a shadow guard, you shouldn't talk so much."
Later, Elder Meng took out a piece of talisman paper from his storage bag, held it between his fingers, and silently recited the secret of the beast control gate. A moment later, under the shadow guard's surprised gaze, the talisman suddenly ignited without fire.
"The Tao governs all spirits, the spiritual palms are filled with countless lives, and the only way to lead them is to lead them—go!"
Elder Meng reached out and threw it away, and the talisman instantly floated into the air, turned into a dazzling fire, and flew into the distance.
"Follow up quickly!"
Elder Meng shouted low, stepped on his feet, and fired out electricity. When the Shadow Guard saw Elder Meng leaving, he hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind.
In the space of a cup of tea, Elder Meng and Shadow Guard chased the talisman to the top of the mountain, and there was a pool of water in front of them. The talisman stopped at this moment, burned into ashes and dispersed in the wind. Water skiing originates from here, and then flows westward into the pí water.
"What are you doing here?" Shadow Guard was puzzled.
"Look deep into the pool." Elder Meng stretched out his hand, and the shadow guard looked at it. Under the moonlight, countless eel-like creatures with red backs swam in the water, as fast as flying arrows.
"Are these fish?"
"The ferocious beast just led me here with the magic talisman, which means there is a cave master here."
The shadow guard looked at them and said, "These eels look very ordinary. How can there be a cave owner?"
"These fish are called slippery fish, and they are ancient relics. Although their strength is average, they have extremely high medicinal value."
Elder Meng stared at the water with burning eyes and said, "Go attack these small fish and lure the cave master out. I will deal with him then."
Shadow Guard didn't say anything. He took out an iron rope from his storage bag, silently circulated his energy, and then suddenly threw it towards the water.
After the iron rope was infused with zhenqi, it became as strong as a sharp sword, as if it could cut through the water waves. In an instant, large waves splashed on the water, and some slippery fish that were close were directly shocked to death by the aftermath of the zhenqi.
The stomachs of the small slippery fish turned over and they all floated on the water. Shadow Guard jumped into the pond and with a wave of his hand, he put all these slippery fish into his storage bag.
"What are you doing?" Elder Meng asked.
"Don't you think this is a medicinal material? I'll take it back to Jingfeng to eat."
"Hmph, you slave has good intentions," Elder Meng said sarcastically.
But the shadow guard's expression was well controlled, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his heart.
While the two were talking, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from the depths of the pool, and ripples appeared in the water.
The shadow guard felt an extremely powerful aura rushing toward him under the water. His face darkened and he hurriedly swam to the shore.
Between the lightning and flint, a black shadow about seven or eight feet long shot out of the water. It was a slippery fish as thick as an adult man's arm. It was extremely shocking.
Before he could react, the huge slippery fish tail had already whipped towards the shadow guard. He hurriedly raised his hands to resist, but the fish tail was like a steel whip, which made his arms numb and his bones made a cracking sound.
"coming!"
Elder Meng's eyes were stern, and he could tell at a glance that this slippery fish was the owner of the cave in the pool. At that moment, his true energy surged, his fingers were bent like eagle talons, and he directly grabbed the slippery fish that jumped into the air.
The strong ones in the wild spirit realm are so fast that they can catch the slippery fish in their hands in the blink of an eye. But what he didn't expect was that the slippery fish skin seemed to be oiled, and it flew out of Elder Meng's hand.
"What?"
Both of them were shocked. The slippery fish got back into the water, twisted its body a few times, and disappeared in an instant.
"This slippery fish is extremely fast and not easy to catch. We have to find a way." Elder Meng said in a low voice.
"I'll lure him out again."
The shadow guard spoke coldly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the true energy surged in his body, and he punched the water with a punch, like a boulder falling, with a majestic momentum. Water splashed several feet around, and some smaller fish were blasted by the true energy on the spot. He died suddenly, and the water around him instantly turned as red as blood.
The cave owner's slippery fish seemed to be irritated again. The water surface shook violently for a while, and then it sprang out of the water again, like an arrow from a full bow, shooting straight towards the shadow guard.
"Beast, I'm waiting for you!"
Elder Meng shouted violently, and with his right hand he formed a sword and pointed at the sliding fish in the air. The sliding fish was actually frozen in the air.
"I have a way to deal with you with the techniques of the beast control sect."
Elder Meng sneered again and again, jumped up, and reached out to grab the slippery fish that was fixed in the void.
Just when they were about to touch him, the slippery fish shook a few times and resumed its action. It slapped its tail on Elder Meng's face, and then got back into the water.
Elder Meng felt that he had been insulted by a fish and cursed angrily.
"This damn beast, I have to catch him, skin him and dismember him!"
At this moment, Elder Meng's eyelids twitched, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. He stretched out his sword finger and pressed it on his forehead.
"This little beast!"
"What's wrong?"
"Jingfeng! He knows that I have placed a tracking spell on him, but he still wants to run away?!"
"He ran away?"
The shadow guard was startled and immediately wanted to look for him, but Elder Meng stopped him.
"Jingfeng is injured. He can't run far. Let's deal with the cave master first."
The shadow guard pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "The shadow guard of the Long family has a secret method. I will help you catch him, and you can solve it quickly."
"what should I do?"
"This time you lure him out first."
Elder Meng hesitated for a moment and then did as he was told. He stood by the water pool and shouted violently, his body's energy suddenly boiling and violently raging out.
He raised his hands and blasted toward the water surface together, and the boundless energy was like a stormy sea, surging, domineering and violent, sweeping towards the water pool.
"Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Just a few loud rumblings were heard, and several water columns burst out of the originally calm water surface. Countless slippery fish were broken and died suddenly on the spot. Their blood mixed with clear water formed a rain of blood in the sky and fell down.
Sure enough, this move completely angered the cave master, and the huge slippery fish shot out like lightning and rushed towards Elder Meng.
The shadow guard found the opportunity, quickly squeezed the secret in his hand, and moved a little into the water.
Under the moonlight, the shadow cast by the slippery fish on the water instantly became extremely stiff, and its speed also slowed down a lot.
"good!"
Elder Meng yelled, and struck out like lightning. His fingertips were filled with energy, and sharp claws several feet long were formed outside his body.
He grabbed it with his big hand, and the cave master-level fish instantly became several pieces and lost its vitality.
Then he stretched out his hand to explore, and a gray-white bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared in Elder Meng's hand.
"Monster inner elixir?"
"Exactly."
Elder Meng received the inner elixir, while Shadow Guard received the body of the fish that had been broken into several sections.
"Now let's chase Jingfeng. I want to see how far this little beast can run!"
The request is like a mountain, and a crowd of people swarmed to a high place.
"Report to the general that a fire was found. It seems to have been extinguished not long ago."
A soldier knelt down on one knee and said to a man sitting astride a horse.
The man was Li Qifeng who came after Jing Feng. He spoke slowly and his tone was as cold as ice.
"Jingfeng is injured. He probably won't be able to run very far. Hurry up and give chase!"
"yes!"
The group of people turned around and continued to chase deep into Qiuru Mountain.
"Humph, Jingfeng, you can't run away!"
Over at Jingfeng, since he saw a large number of Li family horses, he didn't care about his injuries, got up and ran away.
As he ran, he stuffed the elixir into his mouth and kneaded the formula in his hand. When the drug took effect, he only felt dizzy, his steps were shaky, and his walking was unsteady.
Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting from behind, which frightened Jingfeng.
"Little beast, where are you running!"
Elder Meng's figure flashed and he appeared in front of Jingfeng.
Jingfeng's face was pale at the moment, his eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed Elder Meng's clothes and said in a deep voice: "Run quickly, it's too late!"
"What on earth is going on that makes you so panicked?"
"The Li family has a large group of people chasing them into the mountains. If we don't run away, we will be in trouble!"
"What!!"
Later, the Shadow Guard and Elder Meng were shocked when they saw this place. They didn't expect the people in the Li Mansion to move so quickly!
"Could it be that the leader is Li Changsheng?"
"No...it's Li Qifeng, his general on the right."
Elder Meng had fought against Li Qifeng, and the opponent was also at the peak of the Forbidden Qi Realm. He had a silver spear flying like a dragon and a snake in his hand, making him extremely difficult to control. His face was as cold as ice and his eyes were gloomy.
"Leave first!"
Elder Meng had rich experience and quickly calmed down. He made an immediate decision and asked the shadow guard to run towards the mountain together with Jingfeng on his back.
This scenery will slow down the speed, so we must find a way.
Elder Meng glanced at the two people next to him sadly, his expression as gloomy as a dark cloud.
"Hey, give me the scenery. I suddenly thought of a way."
Shadow Guard shook his head, obviously he didn't quite believe Elder Meng either.
Elder Meng planned to let the Long family's shadow guard attract the Li family's pursuers and escape with Jing Feng. Even if the shadow guard was caught, it didn't matter, as it would just solve a potential threat. As for the scenery, it still has value to me, so I definitely can't throw it away.
"With so many soldiers chasing after the Li Mansion, do you think the two of us can protect Jingfeng? No one will be able to escape by then!"
Shadow Guard thought secretly in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "What can you do?"
"I will lead Jingfeng to the north. You first go to the east to create some illusions to distract the pursuers. Then we will find a place to meet. Besides, as the shadow guard of the Long family, speed and stealth are your strengths."
Shadow Guard pondered for a few moments and felt that the overall situation should be put first, so he agreed to Elder Meng.
"How will I find you then?"
Elder Meng took out a talisman from his storage bag and handed it to the shadow guard, saying, "When the time comes, you just need to light this piece of paper, and he will guide you to find me."
The reason why Elder Meng was relieved to hand Shadow Guard a spirit-drawing talisman was because he expected that once Shadow Guard lured away the Li Mansion's pursuers, he would basically escape death and become a dead man. So what if he gave him a spirit-drawing talisman?
The shadow guard nodded, handed Jingfeng to Elder Meng, then flashed and headed east.
Seeing the shadow guard leaving, Elder Meng couldn't help but raise an evil smile.
"You idiots from the Li family and the Long family have been fooled."
