However, the next moment, golden light blazed on the ground, and the starry sky of the whole universe emerged beneath his feet. In an instant, he was engulfed by it.
Before Zhao Wu disappeared, Yaohua turned around and happened to see the stunned look in his eyes.
Chongming withdrew his spiritual power, and the surroundings instantly returned to their original state, as if the great battle just now had never happened.
"Master, is Zhao Wu dead?"
Chongming's face was extremely tense. He made a quick calculation with his fingers and said with a slightly cold look, "He has a slim chance of survival."
However, when he looked at Yaohua, the coldness on his face melted like the ice and snow in early spring. "Master broke his promise."
"Master has already avenged me. You can't be said to have broken your promise." Yaohua shook her head.
That Zhao Wu was so arrogant, but he couldn't even withstand a few moves from Master. How dare he spout nonsense!
Master was really powerful.
Yaohua had just felt proud for a while when she suddenly remembered what Zhao Wu had said just now. She quickly sat up. "Master, do you remember the mysterious person who injured Uncle Nanfeng when I was a child?"
"Remember."
Chongming's gaze fell on the center of her eyebrows. That red mark was really an eyesore.
"That mysterious person was the Zhao Wu just now. He is from the Heavenly Demon Clan!" Yaohua nervously grabbed the sleeve of her master. "Master, didn't the Heavenly Demons disappear long ago? Why have they appeared again?"
The thing that Chongming had suspected was confirmed by Yaohua. His eyes darkened slightly, and he shook his head.
Didn't even Master know what was going on?
A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Yaohua's heart, like a huge rock weighing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Your Highness!" Just as the master and disciple were silent, Rong Chu's voice suddenly broke the heavy atmosphere between them.
He quickly strode up to Chongming. When he saw Yaohua, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that the little princess is safe."
From Rong Chu's explanation, Yaohua then knew that the two of them had been searching for her separately.
"It was all my thoughtlessness that put the little princess in danger." The guilt in Rong Chu's eyes was almost overflowing. "I deserve to die!"
"It was my own willful decision. How can I blame you?" Yaohua quickly waved her hand. "Please don't say such things."
If she had thought things through more carefully at that time, she wouldn't have run into Zhao Wu.
That crazy man!
She touched the center of her forehead. She was really angry.
With such an ugly mark on her forehead, how could she still have the nerve to show herself in front of Master?
Forget it. She wouldn't worry about it for now. She would think of a way after she returned to the Phoenix Clan.
"Master, how is Uncle Nanfeng?"
"The bleeding has stopped, but he needs a long time to recuperate." Chongming lowered his gaze. "I'll send you back to the Phoenix Clan first."
Going back so soon? Yaohua was greatly surprised. She hadn't even obtained the fertilizer yet. How could she go back like this?
"I'm not going back!"
Chongming raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"
"Master, I was kidnapped by the villagers of Cangyan Mountain. I found that these villagers all had frog-like legs and missing teeth. Their appearances were very different from others. Moreover, Uncle Nanfeng was seriously injured here. Since we've come, we must find out the truth. Otherwise, what if someone else comes to Cangyan Mountain and suffers the same thing?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Chongming's eyes showed appreciation.
Yaohua felt relieved. Master always supported her. She thought this matter was a sure thing.
"You've thought things through very well. That's good. But regarding the matter of Cangyan Mountain, Master and Rong Chu are here. You can just go back and recuperate in peace."
"I'm not injured!" Yaohua quickly stood up and spun around in front of her master. Although there was a red mark on her forehead, perhaps because of the red light, she no longer felt dizzy as she did at first.
The bright eyes of the little phoenix were like blooming flowers, blooming in Chongming's heart. His heavy thoughts were thus eased a little. However, looking at the red finger mark on the little phoenix's chin, he still felt a little scared.
If he had come a little later, he really didn't know what kind of situation he would be facing.
"Master, please agree to it!" Her soft voice was as sweet as honey, a sweetness that no one could resist.
Chongming used his spiritual power to erase the finger mark on her chin and gently sighed.
"Nanfeng mentioned that except for the village head's family, there are no old people in the other villagers' homes in Cangyan Mountain."
Master was willing to tell her these things. It must mean that he allowed her to stay.
Yaohua was overjoyed. She was going to have fertilizer again!
"Shall we go to the village head's house now?"
Chongming didn't have the heart to dampen her enthusiasm and nodded.
Yaohua had been to that village before. She led the way in front, and the three of them soon arrived at the village entrance.
Night was approaching, and the village was very quiet. There wasn't a single person on the road, and not even a single lamp was lit.
"It's strange. Isn't it time for dinner? Why are these people going to bed so early?" Yaohua wondered in her heart. "Master, when I was captured by them today, I heard them talking. The village head has great prestige. I think his house should be the most imposing in the whole village."
Saying that, she stopped in front of a courtyard. "Can we go in now?"
These people had the idea of killing gods. If they knocked on the door, they definitely wouldn't be polite to them.
"Sure."
With her master's permission, Yaohua directly landed in the courtyard. According to her previous experience, she directly walked towards the main hall.
Generally, villagers would set up a shrine in the main hall. She wanted to see what kind of god this village worshiped.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got closer, she let out a cry of surprise and quickly took a step back.
On the incense table was a clay statue with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looking like an ordinary person. But as soon as she got closer, the statue suddenly opened its eyes wide angrily, with its mouth corners drooping, as if it was going to eat people.
"What's going on?" Hearing Yaohua's voice, Chongming immediately appeared beside her.
"It's okay. I was just startled by this statue." Yaohua patted her chest. She was usually very brave. She was just caught off guard and was startled by the statue.
Chongming's gaze fell on the statue. The next moment, he suddenly shot out a ray of spiritual power.
The statue that was smiling with squinted eyes instantly turned into the angry look that Yaohua had seen just now. She subconsciously took a step back. "It was like this just now!"
Chongming nodded and directly used his spiritual power to shatter the statue without any sign.
Even Yaohua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"It's a Heavenly Demon statue. There's no need to show mercy."
So that was it. But how did Master tell that it was a Heavenly Demon statue?
Yaohua squatted down and studied the pile of statue that had turned into earth.
Suddenly, a wisp of black air flew straight towards her. Compared with the black air she had seen before, this was just a small thing.
Yaohua was calm and composed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it. The dazzling red light instantly engulfed the black air.
Then, a shrill scream came from the room. Yaohua got goosebumps all over her body.
However, after the scream, a swaying white figure floated down to the ground.
He was hunched over, leaning on a wooden cane. When he saw the master and disciple, he quickly bowed.
"Greetings to Your Highness."
