If the sect doesn't accept geniuses, they will become giants once they leave?

Chapter 143 Reasonable and well-founded
Monk Dayu has a characteristic, which is that he will take action when it is time to do so, and he will not let things get out of hand even if the other party is just a group of small fry.

This was what happened when the Sky-Eating Locusts attacked a thousand years ago. Before the Sky-Eating Locusts could cause any damage to the city defense formation, the governor in the fusion stage rushed out and exploded the Sky-Eating Locusts.

Just when everyone thought that the locust plague would end, Du Shen's face suddenly changed drastically. He opened his mouth towards the direction of the Demon-Falling Plains with a cold expression, as if he wanted to warn someone. But before he could utter a word, the space where Du Shen was located collapsed inward, and chaos descended.

Du Shen seemed to say something anxiously, but all the sounds were blocked. In a blink of an eye, the cultivator in the fusion stage was swallowed up by the chaos and disappeared without a trace.

Before everyone could react, the overwhelming swarm of sky-devouring locusts rolled down again, but this time there was no cultivator in the fusion stage to take action. The cultivators and mortals in the city could only watch as the city defense formation was swallowed up bit by bit by the sky-devouring locusts.

When the last corner of the city defense formation was covered, countless pairs of blood-red eyes, like stars, pulled the entire Nanyang City into an unknown panic.

Just as Li Yanmo was about to make a move, a hand reached out and grabbed the back of his collar. After a familiar dizzying moment, Li Yanmo arrived in the bamboo forest. Hong Muer was standing in front of him with her arms folded across her chest, and Feng Ling was standing beside him.

Li Yanmo immediately understood the situation. "Were you the one who triggered the Sky-Devouring Locusts and attacked Du Shen?"

"No, it was done by the remnants of the Fierce Emperor."

"...Yes, yes, remnants of the Fierce Emperor, remnants of the Fierce Emperor."

Li Yanmo rolled his eyes.

The remnants of Emperor Lie were just a fabrication of his. Those princes would never want to be Emperor Yu, and the reasons why those prefects and ministers supported the various princes were also very realistic.

Prince xx is so outstanding that he must not be wasted on the position of Emperor Yu.

So how could there be such a thing as remnants in the Dayu Dynasty?

"Hey—why would I lie to you? We just want the evidence from the mausoleum to prove our innocence, not to break up with Dayu! There's no benefit in attacking a governor in the Fusion Stage. Don't you know that the Tianyin Demon Sect was severely slaughtered by the Dayu Dynasty some time ago?"

Hong Muer stomped her feet in anger. She was probably really angry, and the whole bamboo forest was clanging with the sound of her stomping.

"Okay, I get it, I believe you—"

Li Yanmo took a look at Hong Muer's cute and crystal clear feet and quickly stepped back more than ten meters.

"So you plan to take this opportunity to enter the Fierce Emperor's Tomb?"

Feng Ling was silent for a moment before nodding. "This is a godsend opportunity. The remnants of the Fierce Emperor dare to act so brazenly. I'm afraid they're absolutely certain they can open the Fierce Emperor's tomb. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to enter the Fierce Emperor's tomb again and find the evidence."

Li Yanmo looked at Feng Ling, then at Hong Muer, and raised his hands above his head. "My cultivation is so low, are you sure you want to take me with you as a burden?"

"Why—we keep our word. The existence of the Fierce Emperor's remnants was your speculation, and their drastic actions were likely due to your repeated probing. Since you have made contributions, we will naturally share your rewards accordingly and take you into the mausoleum to earn your merit. As for the issue of holding us back..."

Hong Muer put her hands on her hips and grinned, revealing her fangs.

"You're so bad you can't even hold us back."

"...Then I'll rely on you two."

Li Yanmo sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

After Feng Ling made this promise, he pinched his fingers and performed some magic spells. The entire bamboo forest was shaken and pulled up. All the green bamboos gathered in Feng Ling's palm and turned into a bamboo sword.

Li Yanmo had the secret of the pendant on the boss's leg, so he didn't feel embarrassed even if Feng Ling carried him around. He could even put his hands on his chest and pose like a boss.

The three of them flew on the clouds and arrived above the mountains behind Nanyang City.

The spreading dense forest and bamboo grove concealed all secrets. On the mountaintop, several people were already standing on magical weapons, waiting.

Some of them are acquaintances.

When Xuan Lingzi saw Li Yanmo, Feng Ling and Hong Muer arriving together, and looking calm and composed, he was stunned at first, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The disciples behind Xuan Lingzi all stood in awe and looked at him with admiration.

Li Yanmo also saw Xuan Lingzi, but did not greet him. Instead, he frowned.

The reason is simple: Zhuge Liumu and Zhuge Moer are also there.

But their situation was not good. Zhuge Liumu's limbs were tied to a stick like a wild boar, and his mouth was pinched. Zhuge Moer was grabbed by the back of the collar, and he looked as helpless as a wild cat with its neck grabbed.

Feng Ling said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by this? We said from the beginning that we must not resort to violence, so as not to give Dayu something to talk about."

"This... Fellow Daoist Feng, we don't want this to happen either. Zhuge Liumu... said he'd go with us if we gave him some spirit stones, but he ran away as soon as we gave him the spirit stones... There's nothing we can do," the young man who had captured Zhuge Liumu complained bitterly. "The remnants of the Fierce Emperor will definitely try to kidnap Zhuge Liumu. We will definitely let him go, but the Fierce Emperor's remnants are different. What if they capture him, open the tomb, and kill the Zhuge family? Wouldn't our Taoist sect be blamed?"

Reasonable and convincing.

Feng Ling thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He then bowed to Zhuge Liumu and said, "Mr. Zhuge, please forgive me. Once we open the tomb of Emperor Lie, we will ensure that you return home safely."

"Uuuuuu——"

"Thank you Mr. Zhuge for your cooperation."

At this time, the young man looked at Li Yanmo again. Li Yanmo's strange cultivation level made the young man's expression strange, "I wonder which sect this person is from?"

"...I can't tell you, please forgive me." Li Yanmo turned his face away with a stiff expression. "If my master knew that I spread this matter, I would be in trouble."

The geniuses from the super sects present took a look at Xuan Lingzi and others and suddenly realized.

This really cannot be said.

Hong Muer put her hands on her hips and said, "Let me make it clear first. It's thanks to Fellow Daoist Li that he forced the remnants of the Fierce Emperor to take action early, and that we have this great opportunity now."

"This...thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."

Upon hearing this, the geniuses from several super sects present all expressed their gratitude to Li Yanmo.

Zhuge Moer stared at Li Yanmo with an expression of disbelief, but Li Yanmo returned the greetings one by one as if he had seen nothing.

Seeing that Li Yanmo pretended not to see, Zhuge Moer curled his lips without leaving a trace, his eyes turned again, and raised his finger to point at Li Yanmo, "I want Master Li to look after me!"

The young man who was holding Zhuge Moer raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Give me a reason."

"He's the worst here!"

"..."

"Friend Li, please take care of this girl."

Facing Li Yanmo's subtle gaze, the young man spread his hands.

"She gave me a reason, and I have to keep my promise. What if they say something to Dayu when they go back?"
