Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

"Where to run!"

"The entire Junque Mountain is under lockdown! Let's see how long you can keep running."

A subtle ripple appeared in the void, and Mu Gongfeng's figure burst forth, enveloped in a chilling aura that froze everything in sight.

With the ice spikes close at hand, Rong Shu changed his footwork, twisted and rolled, and brushed past several pierced ice spikes.

Before Rong Shu could catch his breath, a withered, skin-covered hand, with its five fingers forming a claw, reached for the back of Rong Shu's neck!

Whoosh!

The deep blue flames of the Earth's core burst forth, radiating light in all directions.

The large hand that touched the flame trembled slightly and was about to grab Rong Shu again!

“…Don’t run!”

In the instant that the Earth Core Lotus Fire blocked Mu Gongfeng's path, Rong Shu had already escaped once again.

Mu Gongfeng's attempt failed.

"Damn it! This kind of strange fire can damage the soul..." Mu Gongfeng extinguished the remaining fire in his hand, his tone angry, but his eyes were flashing with an increasingly greedy light.

Once we catch this little beast, this extraordinary strange fire... will be his!

The figure flashed.

At the same time, Rong Shu, who was running wildly, felt an extreme danger coming from the void.

With a flick of her wrist, wind and fire blades appeared simultaneously, slashing and hacking at the boundless void!

[Nameless Sword Technique, Fifth Strike: Myriad Shadows of the Forest]

This strike is not intended to attack the enemy.

Combined with the ultimate mayfly step movement technique, the sword light and human figures unleashed by Senluo Wanying increased several times over! Amidst the illusory and real sword light filling the sky, Rong Shu's true figure became blurred.

A series of ripples emanated from the void.

A blast of ice froze the figures amidst the flashing blades.

When the sunlight shone on it, the sealed ice block was completely empty; there was no trace of it left.

"Hmph! You've even made a show of a sword technique." Mu Gongfeng flicked his sleeve, and a chill swept across the sky, scattering the layers of sword light and figures.

Mu Gongfeng's gaze shifted and immediately locked onto the real Rong Shu.

Cut through the void.

With one step, he crossed the distance that Rong Shu had painstakingly widened and appeared directly in front of Rong Shu!

"……hiss!"

Rong Shu slammed on the brakes, turned around without thinking, and kept running.

The mayfly step was so exquisite that Mu Gongfeng couldn't decipher it or catch Rong Shu in a short time.

However, Rong Shu still has no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

She could only run.

Mu Gongfeng could make mistakes several times, but Rong Shu could not even once.

"Lord Mu, how about we make a deal?" Rong Shu shouted as he ran, "Don't chase me. It's just that a prince wants the Divine Wind Archery Technique. After I get out, when I see the Fifth Prince, can I ask him to teach the Thirteenth Prince? Or maybe the Seventh Prince?"

Mu Gongfeng: "The suggestion is good. Then don't run away, stay and let's discuss it further."

"...Then activate the protective array of Junque Mountain first!"

"It will take a quarter of an hour to activate the formation, so please stop now."

"You open it first! Otherwise, the thirteenth prince will never learn the true Divine Wind Archery Technique in his entire life!"

"..."

Rong Shu's mouth was dry from talking, so he took a break and ate two Spirit Gathering Pills and two Spirit Nourishing Pills to restore his depleted spiritual energy and consciousness.

While fleeing, he frantically tried to recall information about the Seventh Prince of the Divine Wind in his mind.

Among the many princes and princesses of Shenfeng, apart from the Ninth Prince Di Shaoze, the Seventh Prince Di Dengyun is the most famous. He is said to be a refined, upright, and courteous gentleman.

She mentioned the thirteenth prince several times, and the seventh prince once as well. Although the experienced and shrewd Mu Gongfeng maintained a calm expression throughout, Rong Shu had a premonition—

The reason why Master Mu and the Mu family went to such lengths to capture her was because of the Seventh Prince, while the Thirteenth Prince was probably just a side effect.

The Seventh Prince is older and has a higher cultivation level than the Thirteenth Prince. Both of them are princes born to Consort Mu, so it is not surprising that the Mu family would focus their investment on the older Seventh Prince.

“…Again!” The void rippled once more, forcibly interrupting Rong Shu’s thoughts.

Countless icicles suddenly fell from the sky, followed by a downpour of hail.

The surrounding areas were illuminated with runes from the array.

It's the Heavenly Net and Earthly Binding Formation!

The newly set up formation resembles a bag with its opening constantly contracting and closing.

Rong Shu is pushing herself to the limit!

As his divine sense was being consumed at an alarming rate, his speed also increased three to four times!

"Not enough! Not enough!"

Rong Shu stepped out with his left foot in the Mayfly Step and with his right foot in the Soaring Nine Thousand Miles Step. The two body techniques overlapped and merged, increasing his speed by seven or eight times!

"Swift Boots!"

"Thunder Sound Necklace!"

"The wind stirs her gauze dress!"

"Swiftness Talisman!"

Rong Shu wore clothes, jewelry, and shoes with various speed-enhancing effects from head to toe, and covered himself with speed-enhancing talismans! His maximum speed was increased to more than ten times!

The Heavenly Net and Earthly Binding Formation is about to be completed.

Rong Shu stepped on the tip of the wind and broke through the encirclement a second before all the array runes lit up!

Instead of a gentle breeze, a flurry of snowflakes blew in my face.

Rong Shu's pupils contracted. With nowhere to avoid it, he instinctively used his hands to protect his head and chest.

——Bang bang bang!

Snowflakes and ice crystals exploded like fireworks, and a chilling cold spread to Rong Shu's limbs and bones, quickly forming a light frost on his body.

Swish!

The fire that fell from the Earth's core possessed him again, burning away the swirling snowflakes.

At the same time, the various robes and shoes that Rong Shu had temporarily put on were unable to withstand the chill and crumbled into pieces.

Rong Shu felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

My clothes are torn, and my shoes are ruined!

Damn it! These are all clothes and jewelry that my second senior sister gave her!

This was the first time Rong Shu had dressed so extravagantly, but the extravagance lasted only a few seconds before she became a ragged little beggar.

Braving the ravages of ice and snow, Rong Shu took off her tattered clothes and put on a new set of clothes and jewelry.

The robe provides basic defensive effects, while the shoes increase movement speed.

Although it may not play a decisive role, every little bit of use is helpful, and I won't be picky about what I can get.

"You're quite good at escaping, aren't you? Your whole body is covered in magical treasures. I'd like to see if your magical treasures are inexhaustible!" Mu Gongfeng's sinister laughter rang out.

“That old man did it on purpose. He set up an ambush at the only breakthrough point…” Although Rong Shu kept running, she hadn’t actually run very far.

Every time, Mu Gongfeng would appear in front of Rong Shu, forcing Rong Shu to change direction. In this back and forth, Rong Shu was actually just going around in circles.

On the other hand, Mu Gongfeng also found it somewhat troublesome.

Rong Shu has so many treasures!

Spirit stones, cultivation techniques, spells, pills, talismans, formations, and all sorts of magical treasures... it seems like there's an endless supply!

If this drags on any longer, things might change!

"Jixia Academy? No, this little beast has only been a student there for a hundred years. He couldn't possibly have such a foundation. It must be someone from Zhanming Mountain..."

"Rong Shu is just a lowly person from a small place like the Southern Wilderness, so why does she attract the attention of His Highness the Crown Prince, the Xiao family head, and the young master Lin, among others..."

They taught me the Divine Wind Arrow Technique, and also gave me formations, pills, and all sorts of other gifts.

I've never seen anyone treat their own brothers and sisters with such care before!

"This is truly unbelievable... Could there be another hidden story?" Mu Gongfeng had already investigated Rong Shu's life and deeds and knew everything about him.

Why did Wu Hua from Zhanming Mountain go to the Southern Wilderness? And why did he bring Rong Shu back with him?

This has always been a mystery.

Later, as Rong Shu shone brightly at the Heroes' Gathering and won the championship, gradually no one questioned him anymore. Outsiders could only sigh: Zhanming Mountain has always had a discerning eye and discovered this young prodigy, Rong Shu.

As a high-ranking official of the Divine Wind Dynasty, Mu Gongfeng naturally had special access to information, but he only managed to glean fragments of information from hearsay:

...Zhanming Mountain brought back another person with a special destiny.

...In the extremely sunny land of the Southern Wilderness, a chosen one will be born, who is both righteous and evil, the difference being only a thought away.
