Chapter 420: Telling Lies with Open Eyes

"Tch, I'm a money addict? If I were a money addict, I would have left you alone long ago."

Gu Sheng retorted casually.

Ji Ziyue lightly punched Gu Sheng, but with a smile on her lips: "How dare you! If you dare to leave me, I will let Senior Nangong chase you to the ends of the earth."

"Oh, you are trying to murder your husband!"

Gu Sheng rubbed the area where he was beaten, pretending to be in pain and said with a smile.

"What kind of husband...I think you just want to take advantage of me."

The laughter of the two echoed in the valley...

"Come on, we have to find a secluded place."

Gu Sheng looked around, looking for possible hiding places.

Ji Ziyue nodded, and the two of them walked slowly along the path.

Soon after, they discovered a hidden cave.

The cave entrance is obscured by dense vines and shrubs, making it difficult to spot without looking carefully.

"It's a nice place. It should be able to escape the limelight for a while."

Gu Sheng said and walked in first.

The interior of the cave is spacious and dry, and sunlight shines in through the gaps in the cave entrance.

In addition, there are some dry grass and dead branches in the cave, which obviously indicate that animals have lived here before.

"We have to be careful, there might be wild animals here."

Ji Ziyue reminded.

Gu Sheng nodded, "Let's take a rest first and heal our wounds."

"Um."

Ji Ziyue did not refuse, she did feel a little tired.

Then, the two of them each found a relatively flat stone to sit down on, and began to adjust their breath and regain their strength.

After a period of breath adjustment, Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue's powers and injuries have recovered to a certain extent.

Just as they were preparing to recover further, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the cave.

"Shashasha..."

Gu Sheng stood up alertly and looked around the cave.

He discovered that there was no other exit from the cave except the entrance through which they entered.

Gu Sheng's heart sank and he thought to himself: "If the entrance to the cave is blocked, there will be no way to escape."

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng said to Ji Ziyue: "I have to go out and take a look."

"I'll accompany you."

Ji Ziyue nodded, and the two of them walked out of the cave cautiously.

As soon as they exited the cave, they saw a middle-aged man wearing linen and holding a small silver tower standing outside the cave.

Behind him were dozens of subordinates, all holding steel knives and looking imposing.

Ji Ziyue was stunned. He recognized the man dragging the small silver tower.

That was King Tota, the leader of the Mai Sect, but he didn't expect that he would come to surround him at this time.

"King Tota, what do you mean?"

Ji Ziyue took a step forward and asked coldly.

"hehe……"

King Tota sneered, and then said: "Ji Ziyue, Gu Sheng, if you two know each other, then obey me, otherwise, today will be your death."

Gu Sheng clenched his fists, and anger suddenly burst out of his eyes.

"King Tota, are you trying to become our enemy?"

"An enemy? You are not qualified enough. I heard that you have a valuable treasure in your hands. If you are wise, hand it over obediently!"

King Tota said with a disdainful smile.

"Chongbao? Who did you listen to?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It has spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland that you have entered the Bronze Immortal Palace, you have immortal weapons on your body, and you have the method to become an immortal."

When King Tota said this, his eyes were sharp and his greed was evident.

"Let me go...who the hell spread this? Immortal weapon? If there is an immortal weapon, I will slap you to death."

Gu Sheng said, raising his hand as if to strike.

Upon seeing this, King Tota immediately took a step back and prepared for defense.

At the same time, his dozens of men also took two steps back, fearing that Gu Sheng would kill them.

"Gu Sheng!"

Ji Ziyue hurried forward, called Gu Sheng in a low voice, and then reminded: "The small silver tower in his hand is all-encompassing. Once it is included in it, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out. You must be careful."

"Ah? So powerful?"

Gu Sheng was still frightened. He didn't expect that this guy looked bad, but he was quite good at what he did.

"Look at me."

Ji Ziyue whispered.

After saying that, Ji Ziyue snorted coldly: "Do you think we will give it to you?"

In an instant, the small silver tower in King Tota's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

His voice became cold: "If you don't give it, then don't blame me for being rude."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Ji Ziyue's eyes flashed with a cunning look.

She knew that a head-on confrontation was not a wise choice, especially when the other party had such a powerful magic weapon.

Therefore, strategies must be used to reverse the situation.

"King Tota, do you really think your little silver tower is omnipotent?"

Ji Ziyue's voice was provocative.

"hehe……"

King Tota sneered and said confidently: "Of course, my silver tower can accommodate all things. If you dare to resist, I will definitely take you into it and turn you into powder."

"Huh? That's really awesome."

Ji Ziyue pretended to be surprised and said.

Then she turned around, looked at Gu Sheng in a deliberately louder voice and said, "But that's such a pity. You are not afraid of me attacking the fatal weakness of this silver tower."

"Um?"

King Tota frowned. He was so confident that he was shaken by Ji Ziyue's words.

After thinking briefly, King Tota asked: "What do you mean? What weakness?"

"Although this silver tower can accommodate all things, what it fears most is the 'purple fire'. Once touched by the purple fire, the silver tower will lose all power and may even explode."

Ji Ziyue said pretending to be mysterious.

"Haha...Purple fire? How come I've never heard of it? Ji Ziyue, I know you are weird and weird. Isn't it a bit too much to coax your uncle here?"

King Tota couldn't help but smile and said.

But Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng noticed that when King Tota said this, he looked at his little silver tower.

This micro-expression shows that he has been shaken.

"I've never heard that these four words can kill people."

Ji Ziyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and made a gesture towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood immediately when he saw Ji Ziyue blinking her right eye at him.

Immediately, Gu Sheng secretly encouraged his divine power.

The purple ring on his hand suddenly glowed purple.

This purple light immediately rose up with the stimulation of dark energy and divine power, a purple light similar to flames.

King Tota was stunned when he saw this.

"Boss...this...purple flame! Purple flame!"

One of King Tota's men stepped forward and said.

"Did you see it today? Everyone says that real gold is not afraid of fire. This silver tower of yours... tsk tsk tsk..."

Ji Ziyue smashed her mouth and deliberately did not say the next words.

King Tota's expression changed, and his mouth opened but no sound came out.

For him, the Silver Tower in his hand is his greatest support.

If it was true as Ji Ziyue said, wouldn't he be in a huge crisis?

By then, the King of Towers will be called the "King of Lost Towers".

Ji Ziyue saw the change in King Tota's expression and knew that her words had had an effect.

"Gu Sheng, let me help you!"

After Ji Ziyue finished speaking, she suddenly summoned her divine power.

In an instant, the blue light emitted by the purple ring became even more dazzling.

King Tota hesitated. He looked at the silver pagoda in his hand and then at Ji Ziyue, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

For him, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.

So, it's simply not worth the risk.

"Hmph, you two, you are lucky today."

King Tota snorted coldly and put the silver tower away.

Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that this ploy could only temporarily get them out of the crisis.

If King Tota finds out, he will never let it go.

"Let's go."

Gu Sheng said in a low voice.

Then Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue quickly left the scene and disappeared into the valley.

King Tota looked at their leaving figures with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Boss, do we want to chase him?"

One of King Tota's men came forward and asked.

"Chasing, what are you chasing? Chase, do you want to die?"

King Tota said coldly.

"Look, they... they all ran away..."

The subordinate pointed in the direction where Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue disappeared, with an aggrieved look on his face.

"run……"

King Tota was stunned.

He secretly thought in his heart, since Gu Sheng's purple fire is so powerful, why should he leave in such a hurry?

Besides, if the purple fire can really destroy the silver tower, shouldn't I be the one who should run away?

Something's wrong!

This is definitely not right!

"No! We were fooled!"

King Tota finally came to his senses and slapped his forehead, feeling annoyed.

"Follow me! Chase!"

King Tota shouted.

Immediately, King Tota led dozens of his men to chase Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue.

At this time, Gu Sheng, who was moving forward and forgetting his roots, frowned.

He seemed to feel a wave of power behind him.

That feeling of fluctuation should be a signal that King Tota and his men are approaching rapidly.

Gu Sheng's heart sank, knowing that King Tota had seen through their plan.

"Ziyue, I feel the aura of King Tota, we must speed up!"

Gu Sheng said anxiously.

"Yeah, me too."

Ji Ziyue nodded.

Now both of them are injured to varying degrees. Even if they fight, they can only exert 50% of their strength.

They summoned their magical power and hoped to get rid of the pursuit as soon as possible.

But even so, the speed is still not fast enough.

Soon, King Tota's roar sounded like thunder behind them.

"Gu Sheng, Ji Ziyue, how dare you two deceive me! Today, I want you to pay the price!"

The faces of Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue became extremely solemn.

If they are caught up by King Tota, they will face a life and death crisis.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to become more determined.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly came from behind them.

They saw a group of people approaching them at an alarming speed.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue were shocked. Could there be other enemies?

However, when they saw the person clearly, Ji Ziyue's face showed an expression of surprise.

That was none other than the elite warrior of the Ji family.

For some reason, they also came here.

"Miss Ziyue!"

The leading Ji family soldier shouted loudly.

Then he bowed to Ji Ziyue, which was very respectful.

A warm current surged in Ji Ziyue's heart. With the support of her family, she no longer had to fight alone.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward with a look of surprise on her face.

"It's Ancestor Ji Hui. He sensed that the Great Void Technique was being cast nearby, so he asked us to come and greet him."

The leading Ji family soldier replied.

"Perceiving the Great Void Technique? What does it mean?"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Ji Ziyue on the side said with a smile: "The Great Void Technique is a unique secret technique of our Ji family. Generally, when this method is used, the Ji family is in danger. Our Ji family can just respond to the Void Technique point within a hundred miles. You can come to the rescue at any time.”

After hearing this, Gu Sheng suddenly realized.

No wonder the Ji family is so powerful. It turns out that they still have this kind of magic that works like a plug-in.

At the same time, King Tota also caught up.

"I'll go..."

King Tota was stunned when he saw so many Ji family members standing with Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng.

He didn't expect that the Ji family would show up at this time.

If Ji family warriors join the battle, his advantage will be greatly weakened.

"King Tota, why are you still chasing us?"

Ji Ziyue stepped forward and asked coldly.

King Tota's heart was filled with embarrassment and a bit of shock.

"this……"

King Tota hesitated, trying to find a suitable excuse.

After working on it for a long time, he hesitated and said, "I'm just worried about Gu Sheng's safety and want to have a good chat with him."

"hehe……"

Ji Ziyue sneered, naturally she would not believe King Tota's lies.

"King Tota, we all understand your thoughts. Now, you can leave."

Ji Ziyue said coldly.

King Tota's face became extremely ugly, knowing that he could not succeed today.

However, he was not willing to give up just yet.

He turned his gaze to Gu Sheng, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Ji Ziyue, do you really want to be my enemy for an outsider?"

"Gu Sheng is our Ji Ziyue's friend, and protecting him is what we should do."

Ji Ziyue responded without fear.

A trace of cruelty flashed in King Tota's eyes, and he looked at the dozens of men behind him.

Then he looked at the menacing Ji family soldiers in front of him.

Then I secretly thought in my heart: "We all have two shoulders, carrying one head, so why not give it a try!"

Thinking of this, King Tota decided to take tough measures.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

King Tota waved his hand and ordered his men to step forward.

The soldiers of the Ji family immediately prepared for battle and prepared to attack.

"Don't be merciful, let King Tota see the strength of our Ji family!"

Ji Ziyue ordered.

King Tota's men were unconvinced, and three or five of them immediately rushed forward, hoping to strike first.

However, the Ji family's warriors only sent one person to fight.

This warrior's movements are as fast as lightning, and his strength is astonishing.

"Ping ping ping pong..."

In just a few rounds, the Tota King's men who rushed forward were defeated one by one, and some were even killed instantly.

"What...this..."

King Tota was shocked. He didn't expect that his subordinates were such novices.

"A bunch of trash! Let me be embarrassed, let's go!"

King Tota realized that he could no longer take advantage and immediately ordered a retreat. (End of chapter)
