Chapter 2227

Die Lan's tone was always like this, as if someone owed him a lot of money.

However, Sun Wukong and the others didn't say anything; perhaps that was just his personality. On the main road earlier, they had been using their energy to dash, and Die Lan had been following behind.

But now, in this bamboo forest, using their energy was inconvenient for walking. Instead, Die Lan's martial arts allowed him to run at the front of the group, and Sun Wukong and the others even had trouble keeping up.

They climbed over the mountain peak and headed down the back of the mountain to the mountainside. At this point, Die Lan in front suddenly stopped and said, "It's right ahead, in that house."

Sun Wukong and the others were already panting. When they stopped, they saw a huge house standing in the bamboo forest below.

That house looked like an extremely old blue-brick building, exuding a gloomy tone, and all four walls and the roof were covered in creeping vines.

"We're here? Royal Uncle Die Lan, didn't you say there was danger? What do we need to watch out for later?"

Fahai looked at Die Lan and said with a serious look in his eyes.

Die Lan glanced at him without answering, just holding his head high, looking at the house, his eyes flickering.

He walked slowly to the front of the house, then turned to look at Sun Wukong and the others, saying, "That person is locked in here. He is very dangerous; that is what I wanted to tell you."

Sun Wukong frowned and suddenly said, "How dangerous? Royal Uncle Die Lan, do you have no confidence in our strength?"

"Hmph!" Die Lan glanced at him, a trace of contempt appearing in his eyes as he said, "Sun Wukong, do you think your skills are very strong?"

"What do you mean?"

Sun Wukong was suddenly stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

"The skills of you few are indeed quite good, but twenty years ago, I saw a person whose skills were stronger than all of yours."

Die Lan said, his face without a ripple.

Sun Wukong was a bit unconvinced. He held a question in his heart, wanting to ask who that person was that could be stronger than him.

Moreover, this Die Lan was just a mortal; why did he keep looking at him with that kind of gaze? It made him feel very uncomfortable.

Fahai stood where he was and glanced at the house. He felt those creeping vines looked extremely strange.

They had passed through the entire bamboo mountain without seeing a single seed of a creeping vine, yet only around this house were they crawling everywhere.

Fahai channeled his mental power and saw many incantations floating faintly above the vines.

Fahai was, after all, extremely intelligent. He associated everything he had encountered since entering the Kingdom of Women of Xiliang with Die Lan's attitude. He suddenly smiled, looked at him, and said, "Royal Uncle Die Lan, the person you mentioned is a man, right?"

Die Lan was suddenly stunned, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes as he said loudly, "What does that have to do with you?"

Fahai smiled faintly and then said, "Indeed, it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to tell us."

"However, since we are here to seek the method to abort the fetus, we are just curious to know what kind of person is locked in this house."

Die Lan pursed his lips, his face flushing slightly—whether from anger or something else, he just said, "Pick a bamboo leaf. We will enter this house in a moment; he should be sleeping at this time."
