Chapter 2771: Run as Far as You Can!

"Is it this way?"

"No no no, it should be the other side!"

Xuanming had a relatively good sense of direction, but he struggled to locate the exact spot; he could only dart to other areas to scout, perhaps still finding a chance.

Houtu was different—he knew exactly where to search now.

"Saint Luo Fu previously made arrangements for us, so we must plan carefully and lay out our strategy in advance to locate the position."

"We can't rely on Saint Luo Fu for everything—we must try to solve this ourselves!"

Since arriving at Bombarding Lingshan, Houtu and Xuanming finally realized the full extent of the demon clan's destruction—the mountain had been rendered unrecognizable.

When the Witch Clan still governed Bombarding Lingshan, Xuanming and Houtu often came here to play.

But Bombarding Lingshan no longer resembled its former self; now it was lifeless, covered in dust.

"Bombarding Lingshan has changed!"

Houtu spoke softly, "What we saw here before was not like this—but now, sigh…"

The once lush, green grasslands had vanished; the demon clan had turned it into chaos, and no one knew how many of its creatures still lived—Houtu's heart ached.

"Then we must reclaim this land!"

"Houtu, stop overthinking—we must focus on reclaiming Bombarding Lingshan. Only by taking it back can we have the right to restore it."

"Yes, you're right!"

Houtu quickly rallied—he knew what to do.

When Luo Fu helped her cultivate, he had told her: never hesitate in the face of any situation—act decisively.

Only by acting decisively can you accomplish things and see what comes next.

Looking one step ahead while planning three steps ahead is the result of decisive action; Xuanming and Houtu were only now realizing it, but they still grasped its meaning, understood Luo Fu's deeper intent.

"Yes, we absolutely cannot let Saint Luo Fu down."

"Exactly!"

Though they had previously encountered Peng and Yunzhongzi, neither had pursued them; even if they met again, there was no need to fear them.

Yunzhongzi also wanted to know what was truly happening, especially since Zhenyuanzi would come.

This is Bombarding Lingshan!

Zhenyuanzi seeks Hongyun—he must find Hongyun. But why did Peng be certain Zhenyuanzi would come to Bombarding Lingshan?

These two matters cannot be confused—even the demon clan may not know.

Peng knows far too much!

"Yunzhongzi, I know you have many questions, but you must suppress them—when Zhenyuanzi arrives, you'll understand."

"Alright."

What could Yunzhongzi say? He could only follow Peng's lead—only Peng truly wanted to find the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram and the Seven-Colored Marvel Tree with him.

As for others, Yunzhongzi did not trust them!

Even the Three Pure Ones meant nothing to him—mere reputations; he paid them no mind, but he would flee as far as possible—he had no wish to cross paths with them.

If he did, there would be no good outcome; after all, they were from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble whenever possible, Yunzhongzi had thrived.
