The Forbidden Techniques Rong Gu used were all sought after by Heavenly Dao Village. They were about to succeed, but couldn’t allow He Tu and his group to take them again.
The people from Heavenly Dao Village, in their panic, revealed a flaw that Rong Gu quickly exploited to break free from their siege.
Seeing the prize slipping away, He Tu almost fainted in frustration.
He shouted at the people from Heavenly Dao Village, "Are you all out of your minds!"
If not for the inappropriate setting, He Tu would have wanted to fight with the people from Heavenly Dao Village directly.
The Forbidden Techniques were about to fall into Rong Gu’s hands, but they were blocked, no different from cutting off someone’s future or killing their parents!
The people from Heavenly Dao Village were infuriated by He Tu’s shameless blame-shifting, laughing in anger. Who’s really the one out of their mind here?
Rong Gu genuinely wanted to kill them all to avenge her Ancient Beast.
But seeing more Xuan Sect people rushing over, with quite strong abilities, not the ones that die in droves with a wave of her hand.
Watching them rise again after being knocked down, bloodied, Rong Gu’s heart inexplicably filled with hostility.
The blizzard intensified, coupled with the cold air, making it difficult for everyone to see even those beside them.
"She’s lost control; we must seize her quickly, or there’ll be a disaster over at the Snow Mountain!"
The people from Heavenly Dao Village and He Tu’s group simultaneously turned pale, no longer inclined to argue, focused solely on capturing Rong Gu, their common enemy.
Now, it was less about combating Rong Gu than about confronting a rampaging Ice Dragon.
The third elder swiftly used his Magic Artifact, immobilizing Rong Gu in her tracks.
He Tu’s group, too, ceased holding back, unleashing their full power.
Rong Gu suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, fainting away.
The other Xuan Sect people: ...
So, they had been beaten like dogs before while these two groups merely watched?
Yet, their hearts hadn’t completely settled when the people of Heavenly Dao Village and He Tu’s group began bickering again.
"The fatal strike against Rong Gu was dealt by us, so she’s ours!"
"What nonsense are you talking? If not for our third elder holding her, where’d you get the chance to sneak attack?"
"What sneaky attack? We openly attacked, as you did to kill that Ancient Beast before!"
...
Tempers flaring, about to clash again, the Special Administration Bureau people finally stepped in to mediate (and smooth things over).
"Everyone, let me speak a fair word..."
On hearing this, He Tu’s anger skyrocketed, "Get lost!"
Today, even the greatest sovereign couldn’t snatch away their fortune!
Rong Gu was unconscious, and the blizzard finally ceased.
The Special Administration Bureau people weren’t bothered by the insults, given whom they were standing among were no ordinary characters.
In specific situations, some rules of the Special Administration Bureau can be void, like now.
"How about we capture her first and slowly deliberate over Rong Gu’s ownership?"
Though Rong Gu was temporarily stunned, she wasn’t fatally hurt.
If the rampage of the Ice Dragon hadn’t occurred, Rong Gu, being flesh and blood, couldn’t withstand such brutal aura and combined attacks, causing her to faint from blood loss.
Once Rong Gu recovered, her escape wasn’t impossible.
A year ago, didn’t Yun Ran capture Rong Gu, only for her to escape from the Heavenly Net?
Now, the Special Administration Bureau people were already cautious. No matter how these people bickered, Rong Gu must not escape again.
One escape was an accident; if it happened again, these people would truly be accountable unto death.
The others weren’t inclined to heed the Special Administration Bureau, though they usually gave them face, in fact, they found them annoying.
But given the current situation, they had to admit that only by handing Rong Gu temporarily to the Special Administration Bureau could it satisfy everyone.
He Tu, disgruntled, stashed away his Magic Artifact, pretending he wasn’t injured, though his blood was still churning inside.
The others didn’t object either, better to entrust Rong Gu to the Special Administration Bureau than let the enemy profit.
People from the Special Administration Bureau breathed a slight sigh of relief; among these big shots, they felt rather insignificant.
Immediately, someone stepped forward, binding Rong Gu with modified ropes, rendering her immobile.
They still used multiple shackles to lock Rong Gu.
Given Rong Gu had escaped before, the Special Administration Bureau people used every binding item available on her.
In any case, Rong Gu would not be allowed another chance to escape.
The third elder considered, handing over a talisman paper: "This is Heavenly Dao Village’s special locking talisman."
The Special Administration Bureau people’s mouths twitched but accepted it, adhering the talisman to Rong Gu in front of everyone.
Seeing this, other Xuan Sect people promptly took out their own restraining items.
Once everyone’s offerings were applied to Rong Gu, she was covered so tightly not a whiff of aura could escape.
"We’ll leave her in your custody for now."
The Ice Dragon had been extracted, but nearby, where the Guardian Dragon Spirit had been, the aura remained denser than elsewhere, offering an excellent meditation spot.
After the Special Administration Bureau people took Rong Gu away, the others dispersed to seek their own fortunes.
The folks from Heavenly Dao Village closely regarded He Tu and his entourage before leaving.
He Tu, who had been steadfast till the others departed, suddenly turned pale, spitting blood onto the ground.
Large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks as wrenching pain throbbed in his chest.
Before, while approaching Rong Gu to extract her memories, he also tried a fatal strike, hoping to kill her directly.
But perhaps due to proximity, the aura of the rampaging Ice Dragon on Rong Gu struck him, almost stopping his breath.
He Tu struggled to retrieve his Healing Medicine, swallowed a handful, and finally recovered.
Cautiously, he tucked the remaining Healing Medicine into his pocket, knowing these were what Yun Ran had given him;
each pill consumed was one less, and the effect was excellent, so he’d take them sparingly.
"Damn it, these young people today, they’re crazier than ever, practically disregarding their lives!"
