Chapter 44: What I say goes here!

  "You must be the one whose blood killed my Bone Spirit!" Yu Zilu pointed at Ji Changkong, saying with hatred.

  "What does it have to do with me? You must have mixed the medicine incorrectly!" Ji Changkong naturally did not admit, in his view, his blood pressure was always normal, and there was absolutely no problem.

  "It's you! It's really you! It must be you!" Yu Ziling shouted, her voice growing higher and higher.

  Ji Changkong remained silent and ignored her.

  Buzz buzz buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!

  Suddenly, a strange sound came from the small hole in the beast bone again. The half-beast bone held by Yu Ziling swung happily.

  Huh?

  Yu Ziling let out a cry of surprise, staring incredulously at the beast bone, and cursed with a laugh: "You're crazy! Your body is broken in half, but you say it's much better?! Bullshit! And that stinky blood of his has nothing to do with me! Even if you really feel good, it's all thanks to my boundless magical powers!"

  She muttered a few strange curses and saw that the half-beast bone was active again, only then did she put it away with peace of mind.

  "Alright, it's none of your business anyway. Let's go, we'll continue on our way and block the Southern Yi envoy!" Yu Zilu's smile reappeared on her face, as if nothing had happened.

  "Should we continue to pay for the Wushan Laomu?" Ji Changkong asked.

  "Let's ignore them for now, that old hag is formidable."

  Yu Ziling shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "From now on, the number of evil spirits entering Yunmeng Daze will increase. We should be more careful. Even I, if not careful, may fall into their trap. You take me to familiarize myself with this place first. Only when we are familiar with every blade of grass and tree around us can we increase our chances of survival."

  "Go to Detox Dragon Pond!"

  Ji Changkong suddenly proposed that the Tianyi Winged Dragon and many ferocious beasts were all in the Poisonous Dragon Pool, where there was also a lingering poisonous miasma that would not disperse for years. As long as he entered the range of the Poisonous Dragon Pool's power, let the Tianyi Winged Dragon and the ferocious beasts know that he had returned, he dared to guarantee that no one would dare to take action against him within a few days.

  "Are you crazy?" Yu Ziling hastily shook her head and said, "That place is absolutely not to be gone, the Nan Yi envoy will not pass through there either. It's said that in the past, those who accidentally entered that place, none of the Tian Shi were able to walk out alive. I don't want to go looking for death, Wu Shan Old Mother and the others aren't so foolish."

  After a moment's thought, Ji Changkong nodded and said: "I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. You have to promise me that you will continue to help me deal with those people from Wushan Old Mother."

  You Yu Zi Ling is here, and it's not urgent to go to the Poison Dragon Pool immediately. If the situation really becomes bad to a certain extent, he will naturally go to the Poison Dragon Pool without hesitation.

  "That's for sure, even if I don't deal with them, they won't let me off." Yu Zilu said with a smile.

  ……

  In the next few days, Ji Changkong took Yu Ziling to walk through some dangerous places where poisonous miasma often appeared.

  Gradually, without Yu Zilu's reminder, Ji Changkong also sensed that there were many more unfamiliar faces in Yunmeng Daze, those cold and mysterious experts who wore strange clothes and had appeared in Qingyan City, all of whom seemed to have rushed to Yunmeng Daze.

  Whether in day or night, a mournful howl that was extremely sorrowful could be heard from afar.

  Every time this happens, Ji Changkong's heart tightens, knowing that someone else has been killed. Who knows if the dead person was an even more powerful Tian Shi than him.

  ……

  On a lush big tree, Ji Changkong and Yu Ziling's bodies were both hidden in the branches and leaves, looking far away at the various Tian Shi taking water from the lake shore.

  Since breaking through to the Three Heavens Boundary, his eyesight and hearing had greatly improved. Even if he was a hundred zhang away, he could clearly see what each person fetching water looked like. If it was windy, he could even faintly hear one or two indistinct sentences.

  Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed before his eyes.

  Jia Rongfeng, who was short and stout with rough and dark skin, and a beautiful woman with a slender figure but with smallpox scars on her face, followed by several skilled men, walked to the Clear Lake, laughing and chatting, and filled their water bottles one by one.

  As a member of the Qingyan Castle family, Ji Changkong had once seen Jia Rongfeng at the castle lord's mansion on Nie Yuanshan. His short and stout, dark and rough appearance was easy to recognize, and although Ji Changkong had only met him once, he immediately recognized the man chatting with the beautiful woman by the lake as him.

  With a stir in her heart, Ji Changkong concentrated and listened carefully to what he had to say.

  "...the Xi family... little girl... the wound has healed..."

  He didn't quite catch what Jia Rongfeng said, but vaguely heard the sharp and sarcastic voice of the beautiful woman, which reminded him of his aunt Ji Yuanyun's sudden abnormality in Qingyan City, and Ji Changkong suddenly guessed the woman's identity.

  Tú Jiā, Zhào Méi Lán!

  Ji Changkong's eyes turned cold, her face twisted in a scowl, as she stared fixedly at the venomous woman who had left four scars on Ji Yuanyun's face, her two hands clenched tightly.

  "Do you know them? Do they also have a grudge against you?" asked Yu Ziling in a low, strange voice from amidst the dense foliage.

  The princess nodded in agreement.

  "No problem! I'll help you deal with them!" Yu Zilu took the matter in stride, her eyes rolling around as if another scheme was already brewing.

  "It's not necessary!" Ji Changkong shook his head and said, "I must go to the Poison Dragon Pool first! If you're willing, I can take you with me. I promise you, as long as you go with me to the Poison Dragon Pool, the ferocious beasts inside will not harm you!"

  "What can you guarantee?" Yu Ziling was stunned.

  She paused for a moment, then said: "Whether you go or not is up to you. Anyway, I've already taken you on a tour of the surrounding area and told you when and where the poisonous miasma will appear. That's repayment enough for your help with the old mother of Wushan Mountain. Now neither of us owes the other anything... and to be honest, I'm not much use to you now, my abilities are too weak and would only hold you back."

  "Can you really guarantee that if I go to the Poison Dragon Pool, I will be safe and sound?" Yu Ziling asked after a moment of hesitation.

  "I guarantee it!" Ji Changkong said firmly.

  "Alright, I'll go with you to Du Long Tan, but you have to walk in front." Yu Ziling thought for a moment before agreeing.

  "No problem, follow me."

  ……

  Seven days later, Ji Changkong and Yu Ziling appeared within the sphere of influence of the Poison Dragon Pool.

  "The big wind, I'm back again!"

  As soon as she arrived here, Ji Changkong relaxed all over and suddenly burst out laughing.

  In the distance, the poisonous miasma of the Poison Dragon Pool was shrouded in a thick haze. Suddenly, a massive object leapt out and charged forward like a dark cloud, releasing a pungent bloody stench that immediately filled the air.

  Many ferocious beasts nearby, one by one emerged from the grass, the bottom of the pond, and the top of ancient trees, also flying straight towards Ji Changkong.

  Yu Ziling's face turned pale, and without saying another word, she turned around and ran back.

  One hand grasped Yu Ziliang's arm, Ji Changkong hastily said: "Don't be afraid, here, what I say goes!"

  ……
