Chapter 631

Thinking thus, Heizhu reverted to his usual flippant demeanor and grinned, "Little one, you have no right to refuse."

Before Gao Haoguang could react, a massive mouth suddenly appeared behind him, swiftly uttering two words.

【Body】.

【Still】.

【Heaven's Punishment True Words】—this was Heizhu's innate spiritual ability, roughly equivalent to a weakened version of "words become law."

But Heizhu had no intention of harming the little one below; the first word was merely to stabilize his state, while the second was meant to immobilize him.

To be honest, the gray-haired boy still standing and conscious was, in Heizhu's view, already possessing willpower surpassing most seekers of the Dao.

The crowd of seekers present could not react to a great spiritual power's ambush; they could only watch helplessly as Gao Haoguang was frozen in place.

Just as Heizhu was about to move and take Gao Haoguang away, a pitch-black rift suddenly swallowed him, and next he appeared beside Ma Chao and the others.

Seeing this, the great spiritual power of Jiujie Sect slowly retracted her smile.

She gazed down at the slender figure wearing a bronze mask and asked coldly, "What is your meaning, sir?"

Heizhu had not expected the mysterious figure below to interfere—after all, the man's own companion had died by the boy's hand; logically, he should have watched indifferently.

In response to her accusation, Li Ang merely sneered, "Your Jiujie Sect truly never changes—you've always been shameless, and this trait runs in your blood."

"This child has clearly refused your invitation, yet you still wish to forcibly drag him back to Jiujie Sect."

"Don't go out and claim you're a great spiritual power—I'd be ashamed to be grouped with someone like you."

These were, of course, lies—Li Ang could never allow Gao Haoguang to be taken by Jiujie Sect, for who knew what might happen afterward.

Yet what puzzled him now was that Heizhu's actions clearly interfered with the flow of cause and effect, yet had drawn no karmic retribution—this was highly unusual.

'Could it be because I intervened and restored events to their proper course?'

Thinking thus, Li Ang stroked his chin and fell into thought.

Upon hearing this, Heizhu's expression instantly darkened.

She was no fool; she knew full well those words were merely excuses.

'Fine. Perfect chance to test this fellow—see what he's truly made of.'

As this thought flashed through her mind, Heizhu made her decision.

Meanwhile, as the two faced off, Ma Chao and the others gradually realized what had happened.

That great spiritual power of Jiujie Sect had just tried to forcibly kidnap Xiao Guang!

This this this… truly shameless!

Fortunately, the mysterious figure had intervened to save Xiao Guang; otherwise, they'd have been like impotent husbands, helplessly watching him taken away.

But why had the mysterious figure helped them?

Hadn't he just moments ago blocked their attempt to aid Xiao Guang? Was it truly because he despised that Jiujie Sect great spiritual power?

Before the master and disciples could make sense of it, Datou had already hoisted the frozen gray-haired boy and sprinted backward: "Damn it! Why are you still standing around? Datou doesn't want to die here!"

Those two great spiritual powers out there were clearly about to clash—staying here was no different from waiting to die.

As the young master of Penglai Island, he was the one among all the seekers who understood best just how terrifying these monsters truly were.

Hearing this, Ma Chao and the others hurried after him.

Once the group had fled far enough, Heizhu let out a light, mocking laugh, then spoke coldly: "I hope, sir—"

Before she could finish, a massive mouth suddenly appeared behind Li Ang.

【Weak】!

【Dizzy】!
