I Said Stop, Stop! I Don't Want to Get Shocked!

"Who?"

Hearing someone actually dare to speak up, Mu Li looked around and saw a figure step forward. He raised an eyebrow. "So it's you!"

He knew this man. He had appeared in Qingshan Town before and was an old acquaintance of Xiao Yi Xian's, but his strength was only at the Dou Zhe level.

At most, he was a little stronger than Mu Li.

"Trying to play the hero and save the beauty? Watch you don't throw your own life away, little brother. My father specifically asked for her!"

Mu Li said coldly, "The gulf between a Dou Zhe and a Dou Shi isn't something you can imagine!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

The newcomer was naturally Xiao Long. Fortunately, he had used the Chicken Talisman and Rabbit Talisman to speed over, allowing him to catch this scene.

Otherwise...

Xiao Yi Xian would probably have been taken away.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had some standing in Qingshan Town, it certainly couldn't compare to the intimidation brought by Mu She's Dou Shi cultivation!

The people around them whispered among themselves.

"How does he dare? A mere Dou Zhe wants to oppose the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, which has a Dou Shi?"

"Exactly. What a joke..."

"Could he be Xiao Yi Xian's lover? They look about the same age, after all, and he often comes to see her!"

"If it were just Mu Li, that would be one thing, but Mu She wants her. Can he stop him?"

Xiao Long couldn't be bothered with Mu Li anymore. He turned to Xiao Yi Xian. "Looks like you've been keeping things from me, young lady!"

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly said, "I wasn't trying to hide it from you. I was planning to tell you when you came this time."

"It's just that this guy found out!"

"Then why didn't you tell me at home?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yi Xian didn't dare reveal those little private thoughts of hers. Her world was small, and she didn't want too many people sharing the secret between her and Xiao Long.

Even if that secret might only be a treasure.

Xiao Long shook his head, then looked at Mu Li and said lightly, "All right, your father's here! Talk to him yourself!"

Before Mu Li could even understand what had happened, he saw a great mass of shadows dragging numerous people over from the other end of Qingshan Town.

As for the three men at the front...

He knew them all: his father, his Second Uncle, and his Third Uncle-the three leaders of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Now they were being dragged along the ground like dead dogs.

"What is this..."

"That's your father! Well? How about having him fight me now?"

Mu Li stared silently at Mu She, who was already a bloody mess. At that moment, as though father and son were linked at heart, Mu She opened his eyes, his face swollen like a pig's head.

"You... what happened..."

Mu She could hardly believe it. He had been fooling around with his concubine when a horde of pitch-black things suddenly charged into his residence.

He had just learned a new Dou Technique. Was he supposed to let that slide?

Besides, after testing them with a couple of moves, he found that these pitch-black things were almost all at the Dou Zhe level. Even the strongest was only a Nine-Star Dou Zhe.

But as the fight went on, he discovered that these fellows couldn't be killed. Although he could knock them back, they quickly got up again and continued fighting.

Before long, his Dou Qi had run dry.

Without Dou Qi, he was little different from a Dou Zhe.

Those shadows swarmed him, battered him with a flurry of punches, and dragged him here. When he opened his eyes, he actually found his son!

His son had brought this calamity down on him!

Xiao Yi Xian stared at the scene in a daze and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you just get here?"

"I'm not Mr. Lucky Break. Of course I didn't just get here. I've been here for a while. I was just thinking that if you weren't going to come out, I wouldn't show myself either."

"Who knew you'd actually try to reason with these fellows for the sake of someone who betrayed you? I knew Mu Li would definitely bring up his father."

"So, I had someone bring Mu She over."

Mu Li swallowed, unable to keep his composure any longer. "Y-you... just what kind of monster are you?!"

"Hard to say. You can call me Shendu, or Red Eyes, or Xiao Long..."

Xiao Long smiled faintly. "I might have more names in the future, but you probably won't get to hear them, because even your father can't protect you!"

The next instant...

Vine-like shadows suddenly emerged beneath Xiao Long's feet, stretching out like tentacles and enveloping Mu She, Mu Li, and every member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Then...

Their figures gradually faded in an exceedingly eerie fashion, finally disappearing before everyone's eyes.

Everyone who had been saying there was no way to resist the Wolf Head Mercenary Group fell silent. This...

Did this mean that the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, which had stood in Qingshan Town for over a decade, had simply vanished?

For a moment, the entire crowd was deathly silent. Even those who had mocked Xiao Long earlier took two steps back, letting the people in front shield them from view.

The great mass of pitch-black figures began to disappear, but no one noticed that many more figures had joined their ranks.

Or rather...

They didn't dare look closely at all, and even those who noticed didn't dwell on it. After all, there were plenty of bizarre and flashy Dou Techniques.

"Come on. Tell me about it."

Xiao Long didn't think much of it either. Even before this, he hadn't taken Dou Shi particularly seriously. He slaughtered Tier 2 Magical Beasts like chicks.

An ordinary Dou Shi might only be a little more troublesome than a Tier 2 Magical Beast.

But Mu She was merely a two-star Dou Shi. How could he withstand Xiao Long's shadow army?

Inside the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

In Xiao Yi Xian's bedroom.

After listening to Xiao Yi Xian's explanation...

"A treasure cave in a cliff face..." Xiao Long pondered. This should be the treasure cave from the original story where the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture was found.

There were three boxes inside.

One contained a Flying Dou Technique, another the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, and the last a fragment of the map to the purifying lotus demon flame.

I wonder if the Horse Talisman can restore that map to the purifying lotus demon flame.

Xiao Long mulled it over. The things inside weren't much use to him. The only useful item was the map fragment for the purifying lotus demon flame.

"I'll go with you. I happen to be heading into the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a while."

After arriving at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, his sense of the myriad beast spirit flame had grown increasingly clear. It was definitely somewhere inside the range.

However, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was enormous, and Qingshan Town bordered its eastern region.

"Okay."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, then suddenly faltered before saying, "I really wasn't trying to hide it from you. It's just that you hadn't come for a while, and last time, when I went to the Xiao Clan..."

"I... didn't really want anyone else to know the secret between us. That's why I didn't say anything."

Watching Xiao Yi Xian's face suddenly turn bright red and hearing her words, Xiao Long wasn't made of wood. He raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? But you've really hurt me!"

"Huh? Then what should I do... I really didn't mean it!"

Xiao Yi Xian felt nervous. Xiao Long was her only friend. Li Fei had once counted as her friend too, but Li Fei had actually betrayed her.

Now, she only had Xiao Long left.

"Hmm, I'll need something you cherish to make it up to me!"

"Something I cherish..." Xiao Yi Xian fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "But my constitution isn't really suited for that!"

"Stop, stop! I don't want to get shocked. I mean an actual, tangible thing you cherish."

"Uh, let me put it another way. A token of love."
