Obvious to me, with the prerequisite of High Heaven Realm's Supreme Sage's remaining soul, I have dissuaded Second Elder from pursuing his intention.
If I had not acted in such a way, Second Elder might have uttered phrases like "borrowing the sword" or "borrowing the pestle" instead?
This time, the car drove for a very long time without stopping.
As the fatigue of Wu Ling became increasingly prominent, Second Elder pulled out a few pills and made him take them, allowing him to maintain his energy.
From the surface level, it can be seen that Wu Ling's physical condition is not as good as mine and the other Daoists.
In reality, however, he had been entangled by Yin Fetal Yu Jiannan for nearly one day and one night, draining away much qi and injuring his body extensively.
The fact that he has been able to endure until now is enough to prove that Wu Ling has a strong foundation.
The sky has darkened.
La Gong appeared on my shoulder, staring straight ahead at the road outside the windshield and muttering, "This doesn't look good."
"Hmm?" Second Elder turned his head, furrowing his brow, and said, "Xuan Chi Jin Xiang, why do you say that?"
"It's been too long, as if they were driving to the end. The lamas used to be more disciplined, they would rest. Second Elder, you use your brain to think, how long have they not stopped? Have they not even relieved themselves?" La Gong spoke without much courtesy.
The Second Elder's face darkened. Of course, this was not directed at La Gong, but rather the impact of his words.
"This..." Wu Ling hesitated slightly before saying, "Since things have come to this, can't we just follow along?"
"Yes, yes, since things have come to this, of course we can only follow along. What needs to be done should still be done, right?" La Gong's tone was slightly perfunctory, as if there was a hidden hint, with a touch of eccentricity.
During this journey, I spent most of my time in meditation and deep concentration to restore my energy.
La Gong's words made me feel much more serious, though I did not speak any more.
"Under no circumstances, I promised Master Senior to bring back the disciples, even if it means paying a price!" Second Elder suddenly emphasized his tone.
"Senior Master, please don't be impatient and pessimistic. First, let's catch up. We must have a chance. They are also mere remnants and defeateds." Wu Ling was quite decisive in his statement.
Time slowly passed, reaching around midnight. The car exited the highway and continued for a while along the national road.
In fact, we have driven quite a distance already. For most of the journey, we were speeding recklessly, covering at least a thousand or more kilometers. The surrounding landscape was mountainous, with terrain similar to that when we left Daxian and saw the ghost car in front of us.
It subtly gave me a bad feeling.
Not long after the coordinate of Xu Jin stopped ahead, we arrived behind his car.
Xu Jin did not get out of the car, still with his high beams on.
Further ahead, the ghost car was parked.
There is no doubt that the other party indeed noticed us.
Second Elder and Wu Ling were the first to get out of the car, followed by me.
After we all got out, Xu Jin from ahead got out of the car and quickly walked up to me, respectfully calling out, "Lao Dao."
Xu Jin was truly simple-minded, completely ignoring Wu Ling and Second Elder.
Initially, Wu Ling had a smiling face and was about to greet, but directly received a cold shoulder.
"I may have given away my identity and been discovered by them." Xu Jin's face turned red, showing remorse.
"No matter, even if they didn't discover us, we still had to follow them." I signaled to Xu Jin not to blame himself, and his demeanor improved slightly.
"Humph!" Second Elder coldly looked at the front of the ghost car, with a stern tone, and shouted angrily, "You two demonic beings, why don't you come out to die!?"
The car door opened, and two lamas came out.
Because the car was very dirty and the glass was so foggy, I could not see Si Yan and the other female Daoists at all.
As for the lamas, they didn't wear clothes at all, still bare-naked.
I'm not sure if they got out of the car before we chased them, but since the entire journey was spent driving, it's likely that even if someone saw them, calling the police wouldn't be in time. If ordinary people tried to intervene, they would either die or be severely injured.
"Ugh! Disgusting! Filthy eyes! Ah, Si Yan little missy needs to wash her eyes!" Lao Gong was extremely angry.
Wu Ling displayed a very serious demeanor.
I was also extremely solemn. One of the lamas was holding a skull with some blood and flesh that had not been completely cleaned off, while the other was holding up a spinebone.
However, based on the bones they held, it was clear that they were even more powerful than those who specialized in skinning the dead. The suicide lama had truly made the most of it.
"Toce na."
The two lamas bowed slightly simultaneously, speaking in unison a few words that we couldn't understand.
After another lama spoke, it was very direct.
"The far journey to deliver the Manifestation of Luo's Deity is troublesome for you, and Xinpo will understand your rashness."
"These two black hair beasts might be thanking you two after all." At this moment, Lao Gong spoke with an eccentric tone.
Second Elder took a step forward abruptly, without a word, he drew two copper swords from his waistband, spreading his arms slightly with elbows down, holding the swords respectively. His legs were slightly spread apart, giving the appearance of a grandiose posture!
I had casually used the basics of Dharma figures before, and I had an extremely high understanding of Taoism. Only someone with enough experience and wisdom could use them skillfully.
In that instant, Second Elder's aura suddenly rose sharply, and his voice sounded like a thunderclap: "Die!"
Second Elder shot his arrow straight at the two lamas!
It can be seen that he intends to close in for a melee!
During the initial confrontation with the lamas, Second Elder was not present, and most likely, the accident that followed was initiated by He You Tian. Second Elder was not aware that the lamas were physically robust and excelled at close-quarters combat.
In an instant, Second Elder was in front of the two lamas.
With a whistling sound, the two copper swords sliced through the air, one penetrating the heart and the other passing through the throat!
One lama immediately raised his spine, causing Second Elder's sword to be inserted into the gap between the bones, while another lama lifted his skull, allowing the sword to penetrate into the eye socket of the skull.
A muffled Tibetan phrase was uttered simultaneously from their mouths, making it unintelligible to the ears.
Behind them, a terrifying shadow appeared, extremely fat and enormous.
Previously, my mother used the skinning tools of Luo Kuang to summon a woman who was piously lying on its back.
Under the moonlight, the bloated shadow behind the two lamas began to take shape, revealing it was a lama!
His bloated appearance was not really bloated, but rather that his body lacked bones, giving the impression that he was just piled together, which was very disgusting.
This lama was actually a ghost!
It was the ghost of the skinning tool!
He was not a tool for skinning, but a medium to summon ghosts!
The lama's hands couldn't be lifted, and he couldn't make any movements. He would almost collapse into a limp heap on the ground at any moment. Without a skull, his head would also become flaccid at any time. However, his lips were moving slightly, murmuring incoherently.
"Humph! On the surface, they are like Buddhas, but in reality, they are ghosts, malevolent beings that should be struck down by thunder!" Second Elder's demeanor was fierce and his anger showed no sign of subsiding.
He suddenly released his hands, and stepped back after pushing off with his legs.
At the same time, his posture changed dramatically, resembling a lion's mane bristling in anger.
