Chapter 430: Chapter 43: Resentment toward the Rabbit_1

Gouyun said indecisively, "It seems someone got there before us! But how could their shadows be cast on the tree guards and then attack us? Yao Bofu, I need an explanation."

Yao Bofu shook his head, "I don’t know, nothing this strange has ever happened here in all these years. I’ve read through all the historical records of our clan, and there has never been such a bizarre incident in our history."

Gouyun wanted to say he didn’t believe it, but he knew Yao Bofu was not the type to lie. If he said he didn’t know, then he definitely didn’t know.

So Gouyun turned to Emperor Jin. Emperor Jin and Princess Mudan also shook their heads and cooperated with everyone else to fend off the rabbits and such that slipped through.

While everyone was filled with doubts,

Far away from them, a rabbit, a monkey, and an old Taoist resembling madmen kicked and shoved their way through, making sure to strike trees – they would never hit just one if they could hit two at a time!

The Monkey was the most excessive, with his Golden Cudgel enlarging and stretching, almost mowing down trees ten at a time...

Consequently, things became even more chaotic on Gouyun’s end, with people getting injured and killed continuously.

Even Emperor Jin’s composed expression began to look natural no longer.

On the other hand, Princess Mudan seemed very calm, as if those dying underlings were not hers at all, her indifferent eyes filled with more confusion, seemingly pondering over the current situation and how it had come about.

Just then, Princess Mudan suddenly soared into the air!

At this sight, Emperor Jin and his subordinates were scared stiff, and shouted in unison, "Don’t!"

But they saw Princess Mudan steadying herself at the height of a tree!

The imagined death ray did not appear; Princess Mudan was just standing in mid-air, like a blooming peony, dignified and elegant yet tinged with a cold, solemn air.

Princess Mudan didn’t speak, her gaze firmly locked on the mountainside in the distance!

There, the trees shook violently, as if they were being struck with great force.

Just then, a stick poked out from the woods, followed by a sighting of a white rabbit leaping high, kicking the treetop!

Almost at the same time, Princess Mudan saw the big trees on this side soar into the air and, like rabbits, kick at the shield of a guard.

After seeing this, Princess Mudan understood everything. She floated back down and said, "Brother, although I don’t understand the principle, I’ve found the reason. The rabbit, the monkey, and the Taoist you spoke of should be on the mountainside ahead!"

"Oh?" Emperor Jin, Gouyun, Yao Bofu, and Guanyun rose into the air simultaneously, similarly reaching the height of a tree.

Now they too knew that as long they didn’t fly too high, they would be fine. Looking out into the distance, they also saw the scene that Princess Mudan had just witnessed.

All being intelligent people, they understood everything in an instant. Even Yao Bofu’s expression turned unsightly.

While he was fighting Gouyun outside, that damn rabbit and the monkey had sneaked into the mountain!

Luckily he was here too, otherwise his ancestral graves could have been desecrated without his knowledge!

Gouyun and the others were furious at the damn rabbit for being so bad, tricking them from a distance!

However, they, like Princess Mudan, failed to see the runes, which were acting like a circuit of conduction.

"Bofu, is there any way to counter this?" Emperor Jin asked.

Yao Bofu shook his head, "All of this was personally arranged by our ancestors. Although Yao knows a bit about the controlling methods, I am clueless as to what to do in the current situation."

Emperor Jin nodded and stopped asking; with a wave of his hand, everyone continued moving forward.

However, the more they walked, the more depressed they became, especially whenever they saw that damn rabbit, their eyes would practically shoot fire with rage!

That’s because the Monkey’s hits were tyrannical, the Taoist’s were fierce but lacked power, but the rabbit was different. This brat initially jumped up to attack, which was easier to defend against. But later, whether he had an epiphany or was tired of jumping, every attack targeted below the belt!

This was utterly infuriating. The Monkey’s attacks couldn’t be ignored, but the rabbit that popped up unexpectedly was even more crucial to watch out for!

As time passed, the Monkey’s attacks became less frequent, but the rabbit’s increased, filling everyone with resentment and leading them to curse all the way: "Damn rabbit!"

Achoo!

Qin Shou sneezed and rubbed his nose, saying, "Who’s cursing me? I’ll beat the crap outta you!"

Then the rabbit delivered a crotch-kick to a large tree!

The next moment, someone cursed angrily from behind: "Fuck, damn rabbit, so sneaky!"

By now, Qin Shou had thoroughly figured out the rules of this place. As long as he held the Lady Xiang Bamboo in his hand and the Monkey and the old swindler were within fifty meters of him, they would not suffer any attacks. On the contrary, their own attacks would backfire on those behind them.

Moreover, it seemed that there were no other Formations here, so their journey was exceedingly smooth and pleasant.

Following the direction indicated by the bamboo leaves, after crossing two mountains, they finally saw a mountain peak shrouded in mist ahead!

It had been said before that Lingling Ancient City was built around a massive mountain, majestic like an emperor.

But the mountain was so huge that only upon approaching did Qin Shou and his companions realize that, although it was a single mountain, it had undulating peaks, each one rising and falling.

The mountains they had just crossed were akin to the folds of clothing or carved animals and plants on a giant mountain. This one in front of them was the main peak!

The main peak was obscured by clouds, and its summit was not visible at a glance.

The trio didn’t dawdle and ran almost vertically up the mountain path.

As they ran, Emperor Jin and his followers looked up and spotted the three scoundrels!

Those who harbored doubts now fully recognized the identity of their foes. Seeing an enemy only made them seethe with rage; one of the guards roared and waved his hand, propelling a flying sword that shot straight towards Qin Shou’s plump buttocks!

Alas, despite flying for several minutes, the magic sword failed to reach the rabbit’s rear.

Emperor Jin said, "Call it back. Space has been distorted and stretched, extending distance indefinitely. You can’t harm him! They’ve started ascending the mountain. Everyone must speed up; we can’t let them reach the peak first!"

The crowd acknowleged, the guard retracted the flying sword, and just as they were about to proceed, he suddenly shuddered, golden light burst from his body, and with a scream, he turned to ash on the spot.

Emperor Jin spoke with a stern voice, "No one is to launch any attacks! Otherwise..."

At this moment, with the precedent before their eyes, there was no need for threats.

Even Gouyun instinctively put away the Fuchai Spear, continued sprinting without daring to pause or launch any attacks.

Without the disruption from Qin Shou and his group, Emperor Jin and his followers picked up speed.

But Qin Shou and his friends truly let loose and ran even faster, diving headfirst into the clouds.
