Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

"Ganglie, stop talking nonsense and don't look up!" Kongming shouted sternly. The appearance of this spirit beast most likely meant that their whereabouts had been discovered.

"Is this... tracking us?" Su Yao finally spoke, her voice tinged with worry.

"Very likely," Kongming said in a deep voice. "We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise, if we are targeted, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The three quickened their horses' pace and galloped towards the depths of the grassland.

However, the two cultivators on the flying spirit beast kept following closely.

"They seem pretty arrogant! I think you should give them another shot, and I, Old Pig, will send them to their doom!" Pigsy said, spreading his cloak and glancing at the flying spirit beast above him.

"What do you think that is? You think you can just fire a cannon whenever you want?" Kongming glared at Zhu Bajie.

Fortunately, the two cultivators tracking them were both at the Foundation Establishment stage, so the three of them were not particularly afraid. On the contrary, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators dared not make any rash moves.

The real danger is that there might be Golden Core cultivators nearby. If they send a message to those Golden Core cultivators, then things could get complicated.

It must be said that the Yuan Dynasty was so powerful that it dispatched more than a dozen flying spirit beasts to capture Kongming.

Deep in the grassland, the terrain gradually became rugged, and the horses slowed down. All around them grew weeds that were taller than their heads.

Kongming decisively abandoned his horse and disappeared into the bushes. Although Zhu Ganglie complained incessantly, he still obeyed Kongming's order at the crucial moment, dismounted with Su Yao, and followed closely behind Kongming.

They moved through the dense grass, trying their best to keep their presence concealed.

However, the cultivator on the flying spirit beast seemed not to see it, continuing to circle overhead, keeping a close watch on the patch of grass.

Sure enough, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two Golden Core cultivators arrived one after another. They kept descending, trying to find traces of Kongming and the others in the grass.

"Zhuge Kongming, I know you're hiding inside. You made a great contribution in dismantling the intelligence organization of the An clan in the three prefectures. His Majesty the Emperor only wants to reward you separately, nothing more." One of the Golden Core cultivators shouted in the air, trying to lure Kongming out with words.

Kongming sneered inwardly. With Tie Muzhen's ruthless nature, how could he not understand the other party's intentions?

Seeing that there was still no movement below, the Golden Core cultivator instantly unleashed several sword beams, attempting to force the three people in the bushes out with his sword energy.

The sword energy swept across the land, shearing off large sections of vegetation taller than a person wherever it passed.

After several sword strikes, the man showed no sign of stopping, unleashing several more sword strikes that shredded large patches of grass, revealing a huge gap.

"This can't go on; we'll be cleaved by sword energy sooner or later," Kongming said in a low voice, then gave Zhu Ganglie a wink.

Zhu Bajie shuddered involuntarily; he knew that Kongming was definitely up to no good again.

"Ganglie, come here for a moment!" Kongming smiled and beckoned to Zhu Ganglie.

"Big brother, I'm fine here, you don't need to worry about me! You run first, I'll cover you!" Seeing the fierce sword energy, Zhu Bajie thought of Kongming's previous actions and realized that Kongming might use him as a shield again, so he shook his head and said in a low voice.

"You dead pig, you've come up with a brilliant idea. You want me to help you lure these people away?" Kongming laughed and scolded. Although this guy was a pig, he wasn't stupid.

"No...no, I, Old Pig, am not that kind of person!" Zhu Ganglie was a little embarrassed when he saw that Kongming had seen through his little scheme. He scratched his head, but just wouldn't go over.

"Ganglie, be good. When we get back, I'll find you a wife." Kongming said with a warm smile.

"Can I not have a wife? Actually, it's quite nice to be alone!"

"Come here!" Kongming's voice suddenly turned serious, and his unquestionable tone told Zhu Bajie that this time there was really no room for negotiation.

Pigsy had no choice but to bite the bullet and carefully make his way through the bushes to Kongming's side.

Without saying a word, Kongming channeled his magic power into the feather fan and quickly dug a vertical well. Then he said to Su Yao, "Come down with me and help me out."

So he grabbed Su Yao and jumped down.

"Brother, what are you doing? The entrance is too small, I, Old Pig, can't get down!" Pigsy said anxiously when he saw the two jump down into the shaft.

"Gang Lie, lie down at the cave entrance and block it for a while. I'll set up some things below."

"You...you wouldn't be thinking of digging a tunnel to escape, leaving me, Old Pig, to suffer here, would you?" Pigsy's eyes widened, his face full of suspicion.

“Brother, are you that kind of person?” Kongming gave an awkward smile.

He then said seriously, "I need to make some arrangements down here. You buy us some time. Here, take this and bite it."

As Kongming spoke, he threw a rag-like object at Zhu Bajie.

"Who are you looking down on!"

Zhu Ganglie turned his head to the side; he was a ruthless man too, and directly bit down on his nine-toothed tooth.

"Come on! Let's see if your sword energy is sharper or Old Pig's skin is thicker!"

"Wild boar armor!"

Zhu Ganglie let out a low growl and instantly revealed his true form, his glossy black fur resembling armor, gleaming with a tough luster.

Kongming was secretly amazed when he saw it. This defense was simply heaven-defying for Zhu Ganglie, who was in the Qi Refining stage. It was so good that even the heavens couldn't stand it.

Pigsy's eyes widened, revealing a fierce look. He bit down on his nine-toothed rake and blocked the cave entrance tightly with his buttocks.

"You dead pig, are you trying to suffocate me with your stench? Hurry up and change your position." Kongming said irritably when he saw a huge wild boar's rump at the cave entrance below.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy reluctantly shifted his buttocks and then hung his naked penis toward the shaft.

"You beast, I'll castrate you when we get back!" Kongming cursed angrily, quickly covering Su Yao's eyes with his hands. This woman was, after all, his wife in name only; how could he let her see such an indecent sight?

Zhu Bajie then realized that some parts of his body were indeed unsightly after he revealed his true form. He hurriedly moved again, this time using his enormous pig head to block the entrance to the cave, his thieving eyes...

Kongming had no way to deal with it, so he simply treated it as a wild boar.

At this moment, the Golden Core cultivator hovering in the sky launched another fierce attack, with sword energies sweeping indiscriminately towards every corner of the grass below.

However, Zhu Ganglie's thick skin and the defensive skill of his Wild Boar Armor meant that the sword energy could only pierce his skin but could not cause him any real damage.

Beneath the shaft, Kongming and Su Yao continued digging the tunnel, completely oblivious to the fact that they were setting up any particularly destructive facilities.

Kongming stopped digging once the cave was deep enough.

"Big brother, I, Old Pig, can't take it anymore, I need to get down too..."

Above, Pigsy, his eyes brimming with tears, grimaced and cried out...
