I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 145 - 14: The Prophet of the Mountain People (2/3)

At the same time, at the misty perimeter of Feilai Peak.

"Show me the way, let me in!"

Escaping all the way and finally arriving at Yunmeng Mountain, Xuansi Gu growled softly.

On the other hand, Xiaogui, although very frightened, still firmly refused her mother's request.

"No... I can't let you in..."

Flapping her wings continuously, the young face behind Xiaogui said timidly yet decisively.

"I am now not only your daughter, but also Jingshu's friend..."

"To you, this is a forbidden area, I came here specifically to stop you!"

Enraged by Xiaogui's words, Xuansi Gu's tone became even more irritable.

"You ungrateful thing, I have urgent matters this time, you can't afford to delay me."

However, faced with Xuansi Gu's scolding, Xiaogui just shook her head silently, without any explanation or defense.

"That..."

At this moment, a head that had been dragged by Xuansi Gu all the way finally couldn't help but speak up.

"You can quarrel all you want, mother and daughter, but can you at least pay attention to your surroundings first?"

Due to a fractured spine,

the head was now truly just a solitary head.

Even because of the dragging, the skin and flesh on the head had become blurred, faintly revealing the ghastly white bones.

But even so, this head stubbornly remained alive.

Its occasional groans made it known that it still felt pain.

"Around us?"

Prompted by the head's reminder, Xuansi Gu noticed the presence of a large number of Sleep Bugs nearby.

Unlike the domesticated species,

the Sleep Bugs deployed by Li Boyang in the mist for vigilance were largely aggressive berserk species.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

When those berserked Sleep Bugs were startled awake and began appearing nearby.

Even Xuansi Gu, who once sought to capture these Sleep Bugs to hybridize into "Death Sleep Spiders," couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Are all these Sleep Bugs!?"

With disbelief in her tone, Xuansi Gu didn't recall Xiaogui ever mentioning the existence of these mutated Sleep Bugs.

"What else have you been hiding from me?"

Eight eyes glared at Xiaogui simultaneously, and Xuansi Gu was genuinely furious this time.

She could hardly believe how much Xiaogui had hidden from her.

How much of the intelligence conveyed was true, and how much was false?

"..."

Still silent, Xiaogui simply flew back into the mist.

This act was akin to severing ties with Xuansi Gu voluntarily, making her no longer the spy that was inserted by her.

To Xiaogui, who always longed for kinship and maternal love, this was undoubtedly a tough decision.

But at this critical juncture, Xiaogui believed her choice was correct.

[Mother, I am no longer your puppet.]

This was Xiaogui's truest thought at that moment.

As for whether those berserk Sleep Bugs would really harm Xuansi Gu?

Xiaogui wasn't worried at all; she knew better than anyone her mother's power and survival skills.

Moreover, those Sleep Bugs would never leave the mist.

As long as Xuansi Gu wisely retreated, the probability of conflict happening was infinitesimally close to zero.

...........................

"Cough, cough... It seems you weren't great at teaching your daughter?"

Cracking a somewhat awkward grin, the head clearly hadn't anticipated such an outcome from one statement.

"Shut up!"

Shooting a fierce glare at the head, Xuansi Gu was rather cowardly in her actions.

Having no inclination to test those berserk Sleep Bugs, the Spider Queen decisively began to retreat step by step.

After all, as one of the few Spirit Monsters in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range who knew Li Boyang's full background, Xuansi Gu wouldn't underestimate these mutated Sleep Bugs cultivated by him.

"Actually..."

Opening its mouth in hesitation, the head wanted to say more.

Yet Xuansi Gu didn't give the other side any more chance to speak, sealing its mouth shut with a strand of web.

"I have to meet that Prophet!"

Retreating slowly to a relatively safe distance.

Looking once more towards the mist, Xuansi Gu for a moment didn't know what to do.

The news of Guifang Kingdom or the Five Directions Gods returning to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range must be conveyed to that Mountain Prophet.

This wasn't just out of gratitude for being saved once.

More importantly, only that person would openly oppose the Five Directions Gods in the current Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

To avoid being hunted down by that Qingmu Clan's Priest, Li Boyang was the only self-help opportunity she could think of.

"The 'Prophet' you mentioned... you don't mean me?"

Without a sound, a voice suddenly came up from beneath Xuansi Gu's feet.

Already a nervous wreck, Xuansi Gu reacted instantly, sending a dozen webs shooting toward where the voice had come from.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Only after her web briefly exhausted did Xuansi Gu see who the voice belonged to.

It was her shadow.

Except now it remained eerily on the spot, morphing into a sinister humanoid form.

"Don't be so excitable, didn't you come here to find me?"

The shadow swelled gradually and manifested, finally morphing into a terrifying Dharma Aspect with a blue face and fangs under the aid of the Earth Vein Evil Qi.

Due to not wearing the [Nuo God Mask].

Through the ghastly face, Xuansi Gu could vaguely discern Li Boyang's features.

"Prophet?"

With surprise and disbelief, Xuansi Gu still found it hard to confirm the other's identity.

"If the prophet you're referring to is called 'Li Boyang', then that's me."

Although this wasn't the first time manifesting this Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect,

Li Boyang remained unaccustomed to this primitive Dharma Aspect perspective.

Compared to the Primordial Spirit manifested form, this Dharma Aspect merely contained a trace of Li Boyang's consciousness.

However, even containing only a trace of Li Boyang's consciousness, the thoughts and ideas of this Dharma Aspect synched with the main body.

"The Five Directions Gods have returned!"

"And this time it's a 'Chosen Priest' who came!"

Upon receiving Li Boyang's confirmation, Xuansi Gu didn't hesitate further, sharing the information she knew.

"That 'Chosen Priest' can directly endure the Qingmu Clan's power, manifest the true form of the God..."

"Even if she isn't a child of the Qingmu Clan, she is undoubtedly a direct descendant."

"Even among the high echelons of Guifang Kingdom, the Chosen Priest is exceedingly rare and usually travels with special escorts."

"The presence of someone coming alone to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range only arises if the Qingmu Clan themselves decreed a divine oracle."
