145 Discovered
Clearly, the two of them had cultivation levels lower than Chao Bai’s and didn’t discover the invisibility array set up by Chao Bai.
Kong Rui frowned and tried to see the face under the hood through the gap in Chao Bai’s arm, but she couldn’t see anything.
After the two of them walked out of the other door, Kong Rui struggled out of Chao Bai’s arms.
“Nie Yin said that he wanted to find a certain place on Spirit Mountain. You’ve lived on Spirit Mountain for so long, so do you know where they’re looking for?” Kong Rui asked curiously.
Chao Bai shook his head thoughtfully. “I don’t know.”
Kong Rui looked at Chao Bai suspiciously. It was obvious that she didn’t believe him. However, since he was unwilling to say it, she wouldn’t get anything no matter how she asked.
She waved her hand and looked in the direction where Nie Yin and the others had left. “I have to find a way to break the contract between Wen Qiong and the little phoenix as soon as possible! If they really kill Wen Qiong before the contract is broken, the little phoenix might be implicated!”
Chao Bai nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go! Let’s find what you’re looking for first. Then, I want to enter the palace immediately!” Clearly worried that Nie Yin would attack early, Kong Rui was a little anxious.
Chao Bai looked around, then he couldn’t help but frown. “It’s gone.”
“What’s gone?” Kong Rui asked subconsciously.
“The aura of the thing I’m looking for is gone.” Chao Bai sounded a little dejected and anxious.
Kong Rui looked in the direction of Chao Bai’s gaze and asked, “What exactly are you looking for?”
“A material that can be used to refine a pill furnace,” Chao Bai said seriously. “I clearly sensed it on that carriage, but it’s gone now!”
As Chao Bai spoke, there was even a hint of complaint in his tone.
Kong Rui pursed her lips. “It’s impossible for the thing to disappear into thin air. Perhaps it was hidden somewhere by the Nie family!”
Chao Bai was dissatisfied with not finding anything and still wanted to search around.
“Who is it?!” A stern voice sounded as a figure flashed out from behind Kong Rui and the other man.
As soon as the figure appeared, it suddenly struck Chao Bai’s back.
Kong Rui was shocked. She didn’t expect someone to discover their tracks so quickly and even appear behind them to ambush them!
Chao Bai’s reaction wasn’t slow, but he only managed to dodge the attack.
Afraid that she would be hurt, he carried Kong Rui in his arms. However, Kong Rui knew that this would only affect Chao Bai’s movements and hinder their escape.
Kong Rui pushed Chao Bai’s arm away. “I can do it. Let’s leave this place as soon as possible!”
“Who dares to trespass into the Nie family’s residence?! Die here!” The voice sounded ruthless. Wherever the voice went, it actually cut through the void.
Kong Rui looked at the person and saw that he had a beard and a golden crown on his head. He actually looked very dignified, but this dignified aura was enveloped by a strong killing intent.
That person struck out at Chao Bai and Kong Rui again. This time, it actually created a whistling sound in the void.
Kong Rui was shocked and wanted to dodge, but she was pushed to the side by Chao Bai.
This time, Chao Bai didn’t dodge but faced it head-on.
He formed hand seals with both hands to conjure a huge light shield in front of him, blocking the heavy punch.
The bearded man actually stopped when he saw this.
He stood about ten meters away from Kong Rui and Chao Bai with his hands behind his back. “Who are you guys? How dare you guys barge into the Nie family’s residence? You guys are too big for your britches!”
Kong Rui glared at the person beside Chao Bai. “Who are you? You attacked us indiscriminately!”
