The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind!

Scorpion God's only thought was to gain this credit.

The Red-Haired God certainly understood this.

Otherwise, why would they offer assistance?

Offering help always comes with some benefit.

But.

The Red-Haired God didn't have time to think about any of that.

Instead, he was thinking about a matter of life and death.

His expression shifted rapidly, and then he took to the air and flew off in one direction.

Chen Ning's words from just now still lingered in my mind.

It lingers.

He said he gave himself away, but where exactly did he go wrong?

Is that your own word?

Expression?

Or perhaps it's among the storage Law Treasure he searched?

That's impossible...

He did a flawless job.

How could something have gone wrong?

At first, he also thought Chen Ning was lying to him.

Even when Chen Ning used the Voice Transmission Spirit Stone to contact his people, the Red-Haired God was skeptical, or even completely disbelieving.

But when he sensed Chen Ning's genuine killing intent...

He was suddenly stunned.

The other party really wanted to kill him.

Without the slightest hesitation.

If it weren't for Scorpion God and the others arriving at the last minute...

The Red-Haired God was already dead.

If Chen Ning really saw through him.

Doesn't that mean someone has already set out to rescue them?

That woman is of utmost importance. If he loses her, even if he, the Red-Haired God, escapes death from Chen Ning's hands today, he'll only be able to roam around for a few more days.

The Qilin True God will surely make him lose his head.

The more I think about it, the more anxious I get.

Therefore.

He traveled at full speed.

He could only feel at ease after personally inspecting the place.

The Red-Haired God changed his appearance at this moment.

Walking in a small town.

The truly wise live in seclusion amidst the bustling city.

He did not hide the person in any forbidden cave abode.

Instead, it was hidden in a small town where ordinary people lived.

That's precisely where the brilliance lies.

This idea was given to him by the Qilin True God.

Really.

Hide people here, and all worries will be gone.

It would be difficult for anyone to find.

In front of a farmhouse.

The Red-Haired God stopped in his tracks.

To ensure absolute safety, the Red-Haired God did not assign any cultivators to guard the area.

A protective array was simply set up around the farmhouse.

The Red-Haired God released his Divine Sense to investigate and let out a long sigh.

This forbidden formation has never been activated.

This means no one dares to come here.

But.

Before the Red-Haired God could even relax for a moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He realized a terrifying possibility.

Thinking about this...

He hurriedly tried to step into the farmhouse and take the people inside away.

At that very moment.

A familiar power of Great Dao of Frost erupted, freezing the Red-Haired God.

This time.

He was frozen solid.

Even the look of terror on his face froze.

Chen Ning walked over slowly, a smile on his face. This time, he wasn't alone; Lu Sisi was with him.

After all.

This is quite a show.

Without Lu Sisi, it would be very difficult to complete.

Lu Sisi's skill in Thousand Illusions at Will is extremely impressive.

Working in coordination with Chen Ning.

They successfully tricked the Red-Haired God.

"How is it? Doesn't my Scorpion God look good?"

Lu Sisi proudly showed off her success to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning nodded; Lu Sisi was indeed very capable.

Actually, this was a setup.

Extremely risky.

After all.

The arrival of Scorpion God and his party was perfectly timed.

It's somewhat fake.

But those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.

In particular, Zhao Xiuxiu's mother's life was tied to that of the Red-Haired God.

He dared not gamble.

I dare not take the risk.

So.

Driven by anxiety and suspicion, they will inevitably go to the place where the person is actually hiding to investigate.

Chen Ning only needs to follow him.

The rest was easy.

Save them, then leave.

Chen Ning didn't say much to the Red-Haired God, a lackey of the Qilin True God.

The other person was frozen to death.

If we don't eliminate them now, we'll have another enemy in the future.

The restrictive formation was broken with a flick of the wrist.

Chen Ning stepped into the farmhouse.

The first thing I saw was a woman trapped in a formation.

Chen Ning quickly broke the formation and came to the woman, saying gently, "Auntie, I'm Xiuxiu's friend. Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

The woman was initially frightened, but after hearing the name Xiuxiu, she relaxed and then asked, "Is Xiuxiu alright?"

"He's fine, Auntie, don't worry. I'll take you to reunite with him right away."

Okay! Thank you for your hard work.

The woman, supported by Chen Ning, slowly walked out of the farmhouse.

Lu Sisi followed silently behind.

However.

However, she noticed that something seemed off about the woman in front of her.

All I saw was...

Suddenly, a wisp of golden Divine Power emanated from the woman and shot towards Chen Ning.

"Careful!"

Lu Sisi screamed.

Then.

The Thousand Illusions at Will were pushed to their limit.

However, she had not yet entered the God Realm and could not affect the other party.

Therefore.

She could only buy herself a moment's time with the illusions created by Thousand Illusions at Will.

Then.

Change your position relative to the illusion.

It took the brunt of the golden Divine Power's attack in place of Chen Ning.

"Puff!"

Lu Sisi coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Her delicate body collapsed into Chen Ning.

Chen Ning witnessed this scene.

He hurriedly urged his Divine Power to create some distance between himself and Lu Sisi.

He looked at the woman with red eyes, but at that moment the woman transformed and reverted to her original appearance.

The Qilin True God!

"What a pity... it's still just a little short."

The Qilin True God was somewhat disappointed.

"You have a really good method!"

Holding the dying Lu Sisi in his arms, Chen Ning glared at her with bloodshot eyes. "Does the Red-Haired God know about your plan?"

"If he knew, this act wouldn't go well..."

"So, you've been using him as a pawn all along, haven't you?"

"He knew too much; he wasn't going to live long anyway."

The Qilin True God spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and then said, "You are too powerful to be found easily, so I had to lure you into the trap. That woman is the bait. I knew you would try every means to find the whereabouts of the Red-Haired God, and I also knew that my disciple had long been in cahoots with you."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning frowned.

What a terrifying scheming!

He even used Yao Li; he probably kept Yao Li around all this time just for this scheme.

"As expected of the Yutian True God's trump card, you are truly a dutiful and reliable dog."

Chen Ning gritted his teeth and said.

"Chen Ning, you can't escape now. Last time you were able to escape with the help of the Willow God, but this time, no one can save you."

"I have no intention of running away!"

Chen Ning's eyes were bloodshot; he could sense that Lu Sisi in his arms was in very bad shape.

"Chen... Chen Ning... Don't pay attention to him... Can... can you talk to me more?"

Lu Sisi kept coughing up blood.

He was already on his deathbed.

"Good!"

Chen Ning grasped the other's hand, tears streaming down her face, and said, "You're so foolish... He wouldn't have killed me. That attack would have only severely injured me. Why were you so foolish? Why did you have to take it for me?"

The Qilin True God's goal is to capture Chen Ning alive; the Yutian True God still needs to set up an array to refine him.

So.

That attack would only severely injure Chen Ning.

It won't be fatal.

But Lu Sisi was different; he hadn't yet reached the God Realm, so that attack could truly kill her.
