253: Are you also a fellow traveler?

Jun Ao Zhi looked into the distance, appearing listless:

"Sigh, only now do I understand why so many Sects are unwilling to join the Dynasty."

"Joining the Dynasty, while gaining the blessing of Luck, also adds a layer of restriction."

"Thinking about my days on Forget-Love Peak, although I couldn't travel far, life was free and easy."

"Now, I spend every day helping you guys with your tasks. Not only is it busy, but it's also incredibly boring."

"Sigh, I really want to fight."

Mo Chen, who was beside him, suddenly stopped his movements upon hearing this, looked up at a soaring eagle in the sky, and his gaze gradually became unfocused, as if lost in thought:

"Free and easy?"

"Fish swim freely in rivers, seemingly at ease, but throughout their lives, they can never land."

"They are merely creatures in a pond, fish in a net."

"Eagles appear to soar through the sky, yet they can still die by an arrow."

"Being carefree and at ease sounds simple, but who can truly achieve it?"

"Even Revered Master is burdened by his identity. He appears to be deeply emotional and unrestrained, doing as he pleases, but in reality, every step he has taken has been carefully calculated."

As he murmured, Dao ripples flickered around Mo Chen.

Jun Ao Zhi, seeing this, slapped his forehead in exasperation.

Oh no, here we go again!

Although impatient, he still raised a hand to halt the group and quietly acted as Mo Chen's Protector.

Gu Liangyuan in the sky felt the overwhelming Dao ripples and instinctively wanted to hide, but then he suddenly remembered something. He activated the covering sky pearl, forming an invisible barrier of light that protected his spiritual platform.

The Dao ripples brushed past him, but Gu Liangyuan remained untouched.

Gu Liangyuan let out a small sigh of relief; Mo Chen had almost given him a psychological complex before.

He almost forgot the existence of his covering sky pearl.

Not long after, Mo Chen finished his Dao comprehension.

With a flicker of his figure, he appeared a hundred miles away.

Clearly, Mo Chen had comprehended a movement Divine Ability.

With another flicker, Mo Chen returned.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude to Jun Ao Zhi, he saw Jun Ao Zhi wave his hand:

"What's with the formalities between us Senior Brothers? Let's keep going."

Gu Liangyuan was satisfied seeing both his disciples steadily improving.

Just as he was about to descend and meet them, and bestow upon them some Divine Abilities, he suddenly heard a woman's cries for help from a distance, which made Gu Liangyuan halt his movements.

"Ah, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

"No, help! Somebody, help me!"

Mo Chen and Jun Ao Zhi below also noticed the cries for help. As far as their eyes could see, they saw a gaunt, sallow-haired old man dragging a woman into a nearby small grove.

The two released their Divine Sense and instantly detected that the old man was a Demon Race member at the Peak of Qi Refining.

Moreover, they were very familiar with this type of Demon Race, as it was the Succubus they had once fought.

Jun Ao Zhi and Mo Chen exchanged a glance. Suddenly, Jun Ao Zhi gave an evil, charming smile. Under the activation of his magic power, his Immortal Qi vanished, replaced by a surge of Devilish Qi.

"This is going to be fun."

With that, he took a step and appeared near the Succubus.

When the Succubus saw someone approaching, he instinctively became vigilant.

After sensing the dense Devilish Qi on Jun Ao Zhi, he relaxed slightly.

The woman, seeing Jun Ao Zhi, seemed to find a glimmer of hope for survival. She didn't know where she found the strength, but she took advantage of the Succubus's distraction, broke free, and ran towards Jun Ao Zhi.

The Succubus's brow furrowed at the sight. Before he could utter a word to drive her away, he saw Jun Ao Zhi grin at him and take the initiative to speak:

"Brother, can I join in?"

The Succubus's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and an excited expression appeared on his face:

"Brother, are you also one of us?"

Jun Ao Zhi nodded.

The woman's face instantly turned pale as she listened to their conversation.

She had thought a savior had arrived, but instead, another demon had appeared.

The Succubus gestured towards the small grove not far away:

"Brother, please."

And so, the three of them entered the small grove together.

One minute later, the wails of the Succubus suddenly echoed from the small grove.

The wails were continuous and only stopped after half an hour.

To Mo Chen's astonished gaze, the Succubus ran out of the grove, clutching his rear, his walking posture extremely strange.

His face was full of resentment, and old tears streamed down, as if he had suffered some inhumane torment.

He glanced back at the small grove with lingering fear, then limped forward and ran away.

Immediately after, Jun Ao Zhi also walked out of the small grove.

After coming out, he adjusted his pants, then spread his hands towards the approaching Mo Chen:

"You heard him, he's the one who asked me to join in."

Mo Chen looked at Jun Ao Zhi, then at the Succubus clutching his rear, his brows almost forming a single crease, and he instinctively distanced himself from Jun Ao Zhi.

Thinking about how he had been with Jun Ao Zhi every day before, a wave of fear washed over him.

So this is the real Jun Ao Zhi!

Little Red broke his heart, and now he's trying a new taste?

Jun Ao Zhi, seeing this, probably guessed Mo Chen's thoughts and his face darkened:

"What are you thinking? I only broke three of his legs."

As he was speaking, the woman walked out from behind Jun Ao Zhi.

Although her face still showed lingering fear, she still bowed to Jun Ao Zhi:

"Thank you, benefactor."

Jun Ao Zhi waved his hand: "No need..."

Mid-sentence, the woman suddenly opened her mouth, her human head transforming into a tiger's head, and she lunged directly at Jun Ao Zhi's neck, revealing her Early Stage Nascent Soul cultivation without reservation.

Jun Ao Zhi watched the woman's sudden attack without showing the slightest surprise.

He flipped his hand, and the Virtue Brick appeared in his grasp. He brought it down directly onto the tiger head's glabella!

The tiger demon paid no mind, showing no intention of dodging, and continued to bite at Jun Ao Zhi.

In her opinion, how much power could a mere Core Formation cultivator exert?

Crack!

The Virtue Brick easily struck the tiger demon's brow bone.

Chaos Stone can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain!

With a crisp crack, the tiger demon let out a wail and lay on the ground, transforming into a calf-sized tiger that was completely lifeless.

With the death of the tiger demon, the fleeing Succubus not far away also directly exploded, vanishing into thin air.

When Mo Chen created the Mortal Method, he read all the books in the Scripture Pavilion. He casually burned the tiger demon's corpse before speaking:

"The saying 'a tiger making a ghost for itself' is mentioned in the 'Myriad Beasts Collection'. Tiger demons have a Bloodline Legacy Divine Ability, which is to imprison the soul of the person they bite to death, turning them into a 'chang' ghost to lure prey for them to eat."

"It stands to reason that the Succubus just now was this tiger's 'chang' ghost."

Jun Ao Zhi nodded:

"That's right. When I saw this woman able to break free from the Succubus's grasp, I was already suspicious."

"Remembering our Forget-Love Peak's 'two no-saves' principle, my vigilance grew even stronger."

"Before, I thought Revered Master's words were a bit exaggerated, but now it seems the older the ginger, the spicier it is."

Gu Liangyuan in the sky witnessed this scene and was greatly comforted.

As long as they remained this vigilant, they would not encounter any major problems while traversing the Cultivation World.

If they still encountered great disasters even with such vigilance, then it could only be a matter of Luck.

However, both of their Luck was quite good.
