Chapter 442: Encounter with Li Mochou
Bao Xiruo looked at everything in front of her, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness. She knew that she could no longer change the situation and could only accept this cruel reality silently. Yang Kang was also captured, and she felt extremely painful and desperate.
She sat on the ground helplessly, tears streaming down her face, as if she wanted to pour out all her pain. Her voice was low and hoarse, making people feel pity.
Zhang Jianjun felt sorry for Bao Xiruo when he saw her so sad. He walked to her and said softly, "Madam, if you want, you can leave here with us for a while."
Bao Xiruo raised her head and looked at Zhang Jianjun with tears in her eyes. She knew that she had nowhere to go at this moment. Although she had always lived a pampered life, at this moment, she had no attachment to the palace. So, she nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
When Zhang Jianjun heard Bao Xiruo's answer, he was delighted and said quickly: "That's great! Then let's pack up and set off as soon as possible." After that, he turned around and arranged for others to prepare their luggage.
Bao Xiruo slowly stood up and straightened her clothes and hair. Although there were still traces of tears on her face, there was a hint of determination in her eyes. Perhaps this change would make her re-examine her life and find her own path.
On this day, the sun sprinkled on the winding mountain road, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet natural landscape. The breeze blew gently, bringing the unique freshness and coolness of the mountains, as if it could wash away the dust in people's hearts. Zhang Jianjun and his companions were slowly moving along this seldom-traveled trail. Their goal was to explore this deep mountain wrapped in ancient legends and find secrets that may have been lost in the long river of time.
As they went deeper, the surrounding scenery became more and more quiet and mysterious. The trees were towering and lush, forming dense green shades that cut the sky into irregular patches of light. Occasionally, a few crisp bird calls came from the forest, adding a bit of vitality and vigor. However, in this tranquility, there seemed to be some unknown fluctuations hidden, making the air filled with a subtle sense of tension.
Just as everyone was immersed in this rare tranquility and the joy of exploration, a seemingly ordinary cave not far ahead became the unexpected focus of their journey. The entrance of the cave was half-hidden by vines and weeds, and it was difficult to find its existence unless you looked for it deliberately. At this moment, a sudden shout broke the silence around, making everyone's nerves tense instantly.
"Junior sister, you hand over the master's skills to me!" The voice was crisp and firm, with unquestionable majesty, but also feminine. Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a young and beautiful woman standing in front of the cave, her hands clenched into fists, with a complex light flashing in her eyes. She was wearing a flawless white dress, the hem of her skirt swaying gently in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth, but the determination and ruthlessness revealed between her eyebrows made people feel cold.
This woman is Li Mochou, who is known as the "Red Snake Fairy" in the martial arts world. Although she is only 20 years old at this time, she has already become famous in the martial arts world with her outstanding appearance and extraordinary martial arts talent. However, her reputation is not entirely positive. Most of the time, people talk about her with a bit of fear and confusion. Her white clothes should be a symbol of purity, but on her, it seems to be given another meaning - both beauty and danger.
Facing the senior sister's questioning, a softer but equally firm voice came from the cave: "Senior sister, Master has long said that you have evil intentions and the skills cannot be passed on to you. This is not only to protect Master's hard work, but also for the safety of the entire sect." Although the voice was soft, every word was clear, revealing a power that could not be refuted.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's face instantly turned gloomy. Her eyes, which had originally sparkled with light, were now filled with endless anger and unwillingness. She took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her inner agitation, but in the end she was unable to hold back the surging emotions. She turned around abruptly, her eyes piercing as she scanned everything around her, including Zhang Jianjun and his group who had just arrived.
"What are you looking at?" Her voice was as cold as ice, with an inviolable majesty, as if anyone would be attacked mercilessly by her if they made the slightest move. Before she finished speaking, her figure had already rushed out like a ghost, her palm slightly flipped, and a sharp palm wind mixed with the sound of whizzing through the air, went straight to the nearest companion.
Zhang Jianjun was shocked when he saw this. He quickly determined that the opponent's strength was extraordinary and he was definitely not an ordinary person. He dodged Li Mochou's attack skillfully, and at the same time, he reached out with his left hand and firmly grasped her wrist, stopping the sudden conflict. "Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice, his eyes sharp, trying to find the answer from the other person's eyes.
Li Mochou felt an indescribable force coming from Zhang Jianjun's palm, causing her to tremble slightly. She widened her eyes, as if she was surprised that Zhang Jianjun could easily resolve her attack. "I am the Red Snake Fairy Li Mochou!" She announced proudly, with a hint of reluctance and provocation in her tone, as if to remind the other party that her name was enough to scare the whole martial arts world.
