Chapter 181 Bait
In the dense mountain forest, the tree canopies overlapped layer upon layer, making it extremely difficult for sunlight to penetrate, and the surroundings appeared dark and quiet.
A shimmering, bright red firefly fluttered its wings and flew off in a certain direction.
Tong Guang moved with the agility of a swallow. She lightly touched the tree trunk with her toes and leaped into the air like an arrow, following the trailing butterfly in front of her.
Below them are Wu Li and Wu Ren, who follow closely behind.
With a soft "poof," the drifting butterflies in front were instantly struck by a force, disintegrating into scattered specks of light.
Tong Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.
Then a hoarse voice echoed through the mountain stream.
"Haha...you three young friends are really fast!"
Wu Li and Wu Ren had also caught up and were standing next to the girl.
The three of them looked at the old man who had suddenly appeared. He was thin and hunched over, with a face full of crisscrossing wrinkles, and his hair and beard were shiny yellow.
The old monster in the yellow robe glanced at Wu Li and the other man behind Tong Guang, and cackled, "What's wrong, you two want to meddle in other people's business? You want to die!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Li's fat twitched, and he opened his mouth slightly, but still didn't have the courage to refute it, as the old monster in the yellow robe was far more powerful than them.
Although they also disapproved of the other party's vicious practice of using the refinement of demon children to improve their cultivation.
However, the huge gap in strength left them angry but unable to speak out.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, the old monster in the yellow robe became even more smug, his voice hoarse and grating...
He said sarcastically, "Girl, you were the one who caused those 'Fleeting Butterfly,' weren't you? Impressive! Even this old man has to look at you with new respect."
Where is Alan?
Tong Guang stared coldly at the other person, ignoring his provocation, and directly asked in return.
The old monster in the yellow robe stroked his withered, tree-like fingers, his yellow beard swaying. "Alan, who is it?"
"Oh~ I remember now, you mean that little rabbit demon, hahaha... I've already refined her, the spiritual energy within that little child was so pure... When I refined her, she cried and called out 'Mommy... Sister, Sister Tongguang, save me...' She was so pitiful!"
The old monster in the yellow robe grew increasingly smug, laughing wildly... his words piercing straight to the heart.
Wu Li looked at Tong Guang beside him and couldn't help but swallow.
The demonic power that suddenly erupted from her body formed a pink tornado, sending sand and stones flying wherever it passed, as if it were about to sweep everything away!
Surging yet utterly cold!
The towering trees all around were violently shaken and uprooted by the influence of this demonic power.
Left with no other choice, Wu Li and Wu Ren quickly gathered their demonic power to protect themselves. They were utterly shocked; was this their boss's true strength?
Seeing this, the old monster in the yellow robe trembled. This girl's strength was truly terrifying. He was no match for her. No wonder that person only instructed him to lure her here.
Hmph, it's not me who needs to deal with her!
The old monster in the yellow robe was lost in thought, but he showed no sign of it on his face.
With a sly laugh, he deliberately mocked, "So angry, huh? You wouldn't happen to be the 'Sister Tongguang' that little girl was talking about, would you? Hahaha... It's a pity she'll never see you again."
Tong Guang's pretty face was as still as water, like the calm sea before a storm, suppressing the anger and murderous intent that was about to erupt.
"You should die now too."
The chill in his voice went straight to his bones.
The crimson silver moon bracelet on her snow-white wrist detached and spun rapidly in the air, transforming into a crimson silver longsword.
The sword is long and sharp, its fierce killing intent concealed.
"Boss, don't be impulsive! There's no way that old monster could have refined Alan in such a short time. He's just deliberately trying to provoke you and make you lose your mind."
While struggling to resist the terrifying demonic power emanating from the girl, Wu Ren shouted at the top of his lungs.
Upon hearing this, Tong Guang's once dazzling and vibrant eyes gradually returned to their original pure pink crystal color.
Wu Ren was right; how could he let himself be provoked and lose his temper by just a few words from the other party?
As her mind calmed down, the rampant demonic power around her gradually dissipated.
"I'll ask you one last time, where is Alan?" The sword tip was pointed directly at the other person, and the voice was chillingly cold.
The old monster in the yellow robe laughed wildly, and bursts of yellow mist emanated from his body.
At the same time, an extremely foul stench spread.
"Oh no! This is the innate poisonous mist of the weasel clan, with an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect!" Wu Li shouted, hurriedly channeling his demonic power to resist the poisonous mist's attack.
Tong Guang raised his hand, and in a flash of light, a blue fan with gold decoration appeared in his hand, clearly not an ordinary item.
This is also one of the items that Si Hanye photographed.
When Tong Guang first bought the Wind Whisper Fan, he complained that it was too useless.
Aside from looking nice and blowing a stronger breeze, it doesn't really serve any other purpose.
The man, however, smiled and said, "As long as he's good-looking, that's enough."
Now it seems it has actually come in handy!
Holding the fan handle, Tong Guang waved it lightly, and a sudden gust of wind arose, blowing away the yellow poisonous mist released by the opponent.
She then saw the old monster in yellow robes holding a little girl who was unconscious.
"Alan!" she couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"Hehe...you little brat, you want to save this girl? If you have the guts, come along." The old monster in the yellow robe laughed loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and flew away rapidly in a certain direction.
Tong Guang didn't hesitate and immediately flew after him! But Wu Ren grabbed his sleeve.
“Boss, there’s probably a trap here. He’s probably already set a snare for you. Think about it, that old monster in yellow robes specializes in stealing demon children for refinement. Why would he only take Alan with such a good opportunity? With his experience, how could he leave a single hair at the scene? This is clearly something he did on purpose. Boss, you can’t go with him.”
Wu Ren quickly explained the reason, holding tightly to the other person's sleeve.
In fact, when the old monster in the yellow robe released Alan and deliberately guided her to follow, Tong Guang vaguely sensed that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Hearing Wu Ren's analysis now, she was even more certain that the other party was using Alan as bait to lure her in, and that the person they really wanted to deal with was probably herself.
If that's the case, even if what lies ahead is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, or a trap already laid by the enemy.
She had to go too.
Tong Guang couldn't understand how he had become someone else's target, and who was secretly orchestrating all of this?
But none of that matters now; the most important thing is to rescue Alan.
Little Alan is innocent and should not suffer undeserved misfortune because of her.
There is only one path left to take.
The fact that the other party used Alan as bait means that she has no way out.
Tong Guang took a small breath.
"Wu Ren, let go!"
She looked up and gazed ahead, her voice firm and calm.
"No matter what's there, I'm determined to go."
Wu Ren sighed and released his grip on her sleeve.
His figure instantly transformed into a pink streak of light, keeping up with the speed of the old monster in yellow robes.
Wu Li and Wu Ren exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and followed.
