Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

The lightning instantly enveloped the two men. Ghost Old Man and Iron Eagle didn't even have time to scream before their bodies rapidly disintegrated, turning into a pile of black ash moments later.

This sudden reversal plunged the arena into a deathly silence.

Halfway there, Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.

He wanted to help the white fox, but judging from the current situation, the white fox was far from being on the verge of death.

It was clearly a deliberate act to expose the weakness in his side abdomen, luring Ghost Old Man and Iron Eagle close before launching a sudden attack.

This intelligence is something even the little white fox at home can't match.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

He clearly saw that the devastating lightning did not dissipate with the deaths of the two men.

Instead, it frantically gathered in the white fox's forehead.

Without daring to think further, Jiang Xiaochuan swiftly moved behind a large bush.

If you take another step forward, you'll likely be caught in the raging lightning and become an indiscriminate target.

The next second, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket shot out from the white fox's forehead, heading straight for Jiang Zhenyue in the mist!

Wherever the lightning bolt passed, the ground was scorched and carved with blackened furrows by the stray arcs of electricity.

The two grandmasters, already terrified, watched as an even more frightening pillar of lightning hurtled towards them.

He only regretted that his parents hadn't given him two more legs, and abandoned Jiang Zhenyue to flee into the distance.

No amount of reward or reward could compare to the importance of his own life at this moment.

Jiang Zhenyue, who was firmly locked in by the lightning pillar, was even more horrified to discover that the surrounding space was imprisoned by an invisible force field, and he could not move at all.

Seeing destruction looming, his eyes sharpened, and he reached into his robes with his right hand, pinching out a dark red talisman and tossing it in front of him.

The talisman ignited upon contact with the wind, its red light surging, instantly transforming into a semi-transparent red curtain that stood firmly in front of him.

"boom!"

The lightning bolt slammed into the red curtain wall, the violent lightning force colliding violently with the curtain wall's protective force, producing a deafening roar.

The curtain wall dissipated, and soon Jiang Zhenyue's figure appeared, completely unharmed.

Furthermore, another talisman appeared in his palm.

The white fox, watching this scene from a distance, had its amber vertical pupils filled with resentment.

It never expected that Jiang Zhenyue possessed such a precious defensive talisman; this attack had already exhausted most of the power within its inner core.

As the lightning dissipated, the silver radiance around the white fox completely dimmed, and its eight long tails drooped limply to the ground.

It glared venomously at Jiang Zhenyue, then kicked off with both legs, its body transforming into a streak of white light and disappearing without a trace.

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Zhenyue remained silent for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

He weighed the talisman in his hand, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

That red defensive talisman was something he had obtained by spending countless sums of money; the entire Jiang family only had one, and there was no second one.

As for the one in his hand, it was just an ordinary earth-遁符 (earth-遁符 is a type of talisman used for escaping into the ground).

Although the precious treasure was used up, the white fox was also severely weakened and would never dare to return in the short term.

Once we obtain the treasure, we can bring men to slaughter that beast effortlessly.

Jiang Zhenyue's eyes were sinister as he plotted in his mind that once he swallowed the secret treasure and his cultivation level increased, his next step would be to head straight for the secluded world.

The position of the Jiang family head in the secular world was never his final destination.

Just then, a dark figure darted out from the dense forest beside them, leaving a trail of afterimages shrouded in mist.

"Who?!"

Jiang Zhenyue felt a chill run down his spine, and the hair on his body stood on end.

He had meticulously planned and acted with extreme caution, making it hard to believe that someone had been following him all along.

Amidst the startled shouts, Jiang Zhenyue leaped forward, his palm surging with inner energy. A sharp palm wind swept straight towards the dark figure, dispersing some of the remaining white mist wherever it passed.

The dark figure was Jiang Xiaochuan, who thought to himself that Jiang Zhenyue was keeping a low profile.

The force of this palm strike was solid, demonstrating the genuine strength of a Grandmaster.

As the gale approached, he slightly shifted his body and met the attack with a backhand palm strike, easily blocking the blow.

Turning around, Jiang Xiaochuan had a half-smile on his face.

"It's you! What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's face, Jiang Zhenyue's pupils constricted sharply.

He clearly spread false information to mislead Jiang Xiaochuan, so how could this kid possibly be here?

"Why am I here?"

Taking advantage of the lull in their conversation, Jiang Xiaochuan sped off again, his voice carried on the wind, "Why don't you ask her about this?"

"Her?" Jiang Zhenyue's heart sank, and he abruptly turned his head.

A figure appeared silently behind them.

When Jiang Zhenyue saw the person's face clearly, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Lan Qin is in charge of Sifanglou!

How did she end up getting involved with Jiang Xiaochuan?

Jiang Zhenyue knew very well that Lan Qin had intricate connections with a reclusive bigwig, and was someone he could not afford to offend.

If he still had Gui Sou and others under his command, he wouldn't be afraid, since it was the middle of nowhere and no one would know if he really killed Lan Qin.

But right now...

A thought suddenly occurred to Jiang Zhenyue: Jiang Xiaochuan has many enemies, and might be being hunted down by Lan Qin.

Lan Qin watched Jiang Xiaochuan's retreating figure as he rushed towards the fog wall without hesitation, and cursed inwardly, "Cunning."

This guy clearly wants to take advantage of the time when Jiang Zhenyue is being held back by him to sneak into the secret place first!

However, considering that Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't possibly absorb the treasure, Lan Qin simply stopped and decided to deal with her only competitor first.

"Second Master Jiang, the secret treasure of Thousand Goose Mountain has been monopolized by your Jiang family for so many generations. It's time to change its owner?"

Lan Qin got straight to the point.

These words shattered Jiang Zhenyue's illusions, making him realize that things were beyond repair.

He dared not make a move against Lan Qin.

He could only forcefully suppress the turmoil in his heart, "Miss Lan is joking. This item... this item does indeed have some connection with my Jiang family."

"If Miss Lan can be lenient, I, Jiang Zhenyue, swear in the name of the ancestors of the Jiang family that the Jiang family will owe Miss Lan an enormous favor!"

For the sake of the secret treasure, he no longer cared about the dignity of the family head and made the most he could think of as a promise.

"A favor from the Jiang family?"

Lan Qin scoffed as if she had heard something ridiculous, "Is your Jiang family... that powerful?"
