Chapter 2462

Jin Ling Shengmu knew Nanji Xianweng was comforting her, but such comfort was still welcome.

Hong Yun could say no more, and in recent times they had faced many problems big and small, with many little demons wanting the Potian Hammer.

But all of them had been repelled by the three of them.

Just as they were about to reach Yujing Mountain, unexpectedly, Hong Yun and Jin Ling Shengmu spotted Wu Zu's Tian Wu and Weng Zi ahead.

"Why are Tian Wu and Weng Zi here? Didn't they already return?"

Nanji Xianweng was puzzled.

Even Hong Yun beside him was deeply confused—either these two were sent by Wu Zu or Luo Fu Shengren to guard them, or they were suspicious.

But Jin Ling Shengmu felt she had found saviors, for only half a day ago they had exchanged greetings, and Wu Zu's people were close to Hong Yun—so by extension, they were close to him too.

So many wanted Jin Ling Shengmu dead and sought the magic treasure in her hands; more guards meant no hesitation on her part.

"Look, Tian Wu and Weng Zi have come to protect us!"

"Wu Zu truly has loyalty!"

Jin Ling Shengmu said, startled yet delighted: "Once I survive this disaster, whatever trouble Wu Zu faces, I will help them."

Just as Jin Ling Shengmu was about to rush forward, Hong Yun grabbed her wrist.

She was still confused, but Hong Yun had whispered a few words in her ear—her face instantly turned pale.

Yet she quickly regained her composure.

"Fine, I'll follow your lead."

Hong Yun had just whispered to Jin Ling Shengmu that Tian Wu and Weng Zi, as Wu Zu members, could not possibly have returned so quickly and then come here as well.

That meant someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, especially since these arrivals were clearly hostile.

Jin Ling Shengmu had thought she gained extra guards, but after hearing Hong Yun's words, she suddenly felt they had come to collect her life—she trusted Hong Yun even more.

Nanji Xianweng saw them and quietly moved to Jin Ling Shengmu's side.

The few little demons ahead, though arranged by Guiche, knew little of Tian Wu and Weng Zi's situation and could only stammer out greetings.

"Brother Tian Wu, weren't you already back in Wu Zu? Why are you here now?" Nanji Xianweng probed.

Tian Wu said: "Xianweng, you don't know—Wu Zu has already prepared. With Luo Fu Shengren involved, he quickly sent word for us to return and guard Hong Yun."

Weng Zi beside him kept nodding—he had no say in this matter, so he left it to Tian Wu.

Hong Yun also stepped forward; seeing Hong Yun's movement, Jin Ling Shengmu slowly edged over.

"So you two came to join us on the journey to Buzhou Mountain?"

At this moment, Hong Yun said Buzhou Mountain, not the Outer Thirty-Three Heavens—he was testing whether these men were real or fake, for Honghuang's disguise arts could be flawless.

Hong Yun Daoren had heard these stories when he taught in Zixiao Palace, so he trusted none of these men and watched them warily.
