The Mountain Folk's Prophet (2/3)

Meanwhile, at the edge of the mist surrounding Flying Peak, someone shouted, "Lead the way, let me in!"

After fleeing all the way and finally arriving at Mount Yunmeng, Hanging Silk Lady roared in a low voice.

On the other side of Hanging Silk Lady, Xiao Gui, despite being terrified, firmly refused her mother's request.

"No, I can't let you in—"

Fluttering its wings, the young face behind Xiao Gui spoke timidly yet resolutely.

"Now, besides being your daughter, I'm also Jingshu's friend."

"This place is forbidden to you, and I've come here specifically to stop you!"

Enraged by Xiao Gui's words, Hanging Silk Lady's tone became even more irritable.

"You traitorous bastard, I have important business to attend to this time, and you can't afford to delay me."

However, faced with Hanging Silk Lady's scorn, Xiao Gui simply shook her head and remained silent, offering no defense for herself.

"That--"

Just then, the head that had been dragged along by Hanging Silk Lady finally couldn't help but speak.

"You and your daughter can argue all you want, but can't you at least look at the surrounding situation first?!"

Because the spine was broken.

Now, all that was left was truly a lonely head.

Because of the dragging along the way, the skin and flesh of the skull were blurred, vaguely revealing the stark white bones.

Even so, the head stubbornly remained alive.

Only the occasional groan he let out let people know that he was still capable of feeling pain.

"Around?"

After being reminded by the head, Hanging Silk Lady noticed that a large number of Sleepy Bug had appeared nearby.

Unlike those domesticated varieties.

Most of the Sleepy Bug that Li Boyang placed in this mist for vigilance were berserk species with powerful aggression.

The sound of buzzing...

When those frenzied Sleepy Bug were awakened and gradually appeared nearby.

Even the Hanging Silk Lady, who had once tried to capture these Sleepy Bug insects to create "Death-Sleep Spider," was startled.

"These are all Sleepy Bug!?"

With an incredulous look, Hanging Silk Lady couldn't recall Xiao Gui ever mentioning the existence of these mutant Sleepy Bug.

What else are you hiding from me?

All eight eyes glared at Xiao Gui simultaneously; Hanging Silk Lady was truly enraged now.

She simply couldn't believe how much more Xiao Gui was hiding from her.

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

Still without uttering a word, Xiao Gui silently flew back into the mist.

This action is tantamount to severing ties with Hanging Silk Lady, and from now on, he is no longer a spy planted by her.

This was undoubtedly a difficult choice for Xiao Gui, who had always longed for family affection and maternal love.

But at this juncture, Xiao Gui feels that her choice was correct.

[Mother, I am no longer your puppet.]

This is Xiao Gui's truest thought at this moment.

As for whether those berserk Sleepy Bug will actually harm the Hanging Silk Lady?

Xiao Gui wasn't worried about this at all; she knew her mother's strength and ability to protect herself better than anyone else.

Moreover, those Sleepy Bug will never leave this fog.

If Hanging Silk Lady wisely withdraws, the probability of this conflict occurring is virtually zero.

"Ahem, it seems your parenting skills aren't very good?"

He grinned awkwardly, clearly not expecting his words to have such a result.

"Shut up!"

She turned around and glared fiercely at the head, but in action Hanging Silk Lady was quite timid.

Without any intention of testing the berserk Sleepy Bug, the Spider Queen decisively began to retreat little by little.

After all, as one of the very few spirits in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range who fully understands Li Boyang's background, Hanging Silk Lady would not underestimate these mutated Sleepy Bug cultivated by him.

"Actually-"

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated, his head seemingly wanting to say something more.

However, this time, Hanging Silk Lady didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all; a spider silk thread sealed the other party's mouth shut.

I absolutely must see that prophet!

Slowly retreat to a relatively safe distance.

When Hanging Silk Lady looked at the mist again, she was at a loss for what to do.

I must convey to that Mountain Folk Prophet the news that the Guifang Kingdom, or rather the Gods of the Five Directions, have returned to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

This is not just about the gratitude they owed me for saving my life.

Furthermore, in the present-day Hundred Lands Mountain Range, only the opposing side would openly oppose the Gods of the Five Directions.

Hanging Silk Lady wanted to avoid being completely wiped out by the priest of the Green Wood Clan, Li Boyang was the only chance she could think of to save herself.

"The prophet you mentioned"—you wouldn't be referring to me, would you?

Without a sound, a voice suddenly came from beneath Hanging Silk Lady's feet.

Already on edge, Hanging Silk Lady reacted immediately, sending dozens of spiderwebs shooting towards the direction from which the sound came.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Only when her spider silk was briefly exhausted did Hanging Silk Lady see clearly the owner of the voice.

That was the shadow of the Hanging Silk Lady.

However, it has now strangely remained in the same spot and is transforming into a struggling human form.

"Don't get so agitated. Didn't you come here to find me?"

The shadow gradually rose and manifested, finally transforming into a blue-faced, tooth-healing Dharma image with the aid of the Earth Veins Sha Qi.

Because he wasn't wearing the [God Mask].

Through her ferocious expression, Hanging Silk Lady could vaguely discern some features of Li Boyang.

"Prophet?"

Filled with surprise and confusion, Hanging Silk Lady was still somewhat unsure of the other person's identity.

"If the prophet you're talking about is named Li Boyang, then that is me."

Although this wasn't the first time such Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect had manifested.

However, Li Boyang was still not quite used to this primitive perspective of Dharma.

Compared to the Primordial Spirit Manifestation, this Dharma form only contained a wisp of Li Boyang's mind.

However, although it only contains a wisp of Li Boyang's consciousness, the thoughts and ideas of this Dharma form are synchronized with the original body.

"The Gods of the Five Directions have returned!"

"And this time, a 'chosen priest' has arrived!"

After receiving Li Boyang's affirmative answer, Hanging Silk Lady no longer hesitated and revealed the information she knew.

"That chosen priest" was able to directly withstand the power of the Green Wood Clan, manifesting his true form—

"Even if she isn't Green Wood Clan's child, she's definitely his direct descendant."

Even among the high-ranking officials of the Guifang Kingdom, the Chosen Priests are an extremely rare breed, and they are usually accompanied by dedicated guards when they travel.

"The only possibility for someone to arrive alone in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range is that the Green Wood Clan personally issued a divine decree."
