114: Section 114
Chu Mo and Ling Baishuang stood side by side, looking down.
Under their gaze, Zhang Fan was being chased by hundreds of people, fleeing for his life.
“Senior Brother Chu Mo, is this what you meant by 'another use'?”
Ling Baishuang looked at the scene below and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, “You took the benefits, and he ended up taking the blame.”
“Only by enduring more hardships can one grow. I am doing this for his own good,” Chu Mo said with a faint smile.
Then, he flipped his palm and took out the flawless sacred weapon he had obtained from Zhang Fan.
This was an umbrella-shaped treasure, appearing like an oil-paper umbrella, yet it was exceptionally tough, adorned with plum blossoms, giving it an elegant and pure appearance.
Around it, a blazing divine light emanated, brilliant immortal radiance enveloped it, and rich Daorhyme intertwined and flowed.
One could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
After Chu Mo refined it, he already knew that this umbrella was called the Luoyan Umbrella. It possessed unparalleled defensive capabilities and also had a binding power. Once activated, ordinary Martial Artists who were covered by it would find it difficult to break free.
It was also a good treasure, considered to be of High Grade quality among flawless sacred weapons.
“This umbrella isn't quite suitable for me to use. It might be good for Xiaorou to use for self-defense,” Chu Mo thought to himself.
Putting the umbrella into his Storage Pouch, Chu Mo looked at Zhang Fan, who was still being hunted below, now covered in blood, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
He truly lived up to his name as a Child of Luck; even with such severe injuries, he could still persevere for so long.
If it were anyone else, even if their cultivation Realm was one or two major Realms higher than Zhang Fan's, they would probably have already died in Zhang Fan's current predicament.
“Let's go!”
“This person can probably hold on for a long time. Let's use this time to find some other Opportunities first,” Chu Mo said with a smile, withdrawing his gaze.
“I think Senior Brother isn't looking for Opportunities, but rather picking up Opportunities,” Ling Baishuang said, blinking.
Since she started following Chu Mo, she had personally witnessed Chu Mo encountering great Opportunities every time he went to a new place.
Initially, she thought this was due to Chu Mo's good Luck, but Ling Baishuang was, after all, a person of keen intellect. As Chu Mo encountered more and more Opportunities, she quickly understood.
Chu Mo must possess some unknown method that allows him to locate where Opportunities are.
Although this was somewhat incredible, the world was vast and full of wonders, so Ling Baishuang quickly became calm after her initial shock.
Chu Mo also knew that Ling Baishuang had likely guessed it.
But he wasn't afraid that Ling Baishuang would reveal this secret. After all, Ling Baishuang's favorability towards him had already reached 98 points, close to the maximum. This was already a level of unwavering loyalty, where she would never betray him for life.
To put it bluntly, with this level of favorability, even if Chu Mo asked her to commit suicide, Ling Baishuang would not hesitate in the slightest, so how could she reveal Chu Mo's secret to outsiders?
Moreover, Chu Mo was currently a true disciple of Taichu Holy Land, and even had thequalifications to contend for the position of Saint. Even if outsiders knew, they would never dare to covet it, otherwise, they would have to prepare to face the wrath and retaliation of Taichu Holy Land.
As a hegemonic force in the Eastern Wang Dao Domain, no one dared to provoke it lightly.
Leaving this place, Chu Mo continued to search for Opportunities with Ling Baishuang.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Chu Mo had already found dozens of Opportunities in the Void Tomb, bringing the total number of Opportunities he had seized to 163.
According to Chu Mo's estimation, once the total number of seized Opportunities reached 200, he might be able to obtain a new qualification for fate extraction.
This made him very excited.
While Chu Mo was peacefully searching for Opportunities these past few days, Zhang Fan was having an extremely miserable time.
Because everyone believed that he had obtained the flawless sacred weapon, those people relentlessly pursued him. In these few days, he had almost no time to breathe. No matter how he hid, he would be found by the other party.
More importantly, as time passed, the news that he had obtained the flawless sacred weapon was spread by someone, causing more and more people to pursue him. Almost half of the Prodigies who entered the Void Tomb were searching for his whereabouts.
This made him resentful.
He cursed the person who stole his treasure more than once!
He hadn't understood before, but now he finally realized—the other party only took his treasure but didn't kill him, precisely so that he would take the blame!
“Hateful!”
“Don't let me find out who you are, or I, Zhang Fan, will definitely kill you!” he swore resentfully in his heart.
“Kid Zhang!”
“We're almost at the place where the mind cleansing mirror is hidden. Once we get there and obtain that treasure, we can get rid of these people!” At this moment, Old Gu's voice came.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan immediately showed surprise.
“What are we waiting for, Old Gu, let's hurry over!” Zhang Fan urged.
The two flew all the way and soon, led by Old Gu, arrived at a desolate place.
The surroundings were extremely barren, with sparse vegetation, and even the Spiritual Qi was very thin.
Zhang Fan looked around and said somewhat doubtfully, “Old Gu, are you sure this is the treasure hiding place you mentioned? You didn't remember it wrong, did you?”
“Kid Zhang, are you doubting me?” Old Gu said in a bad mood.
“I'm just worried!” Zhang Fan quickly said, “If we find the wrong place and those people catch up, we'll have to flee for our lives again!”
He had been hiding and dodging for the past few days, constantly anxious and fleeing at the slightest sound. He had no time to rest, and his wounds were gradually worsening. If he couldn't rest soon, his Dao foundation might even be damaged.
“Don't worry, I remember it clearly, there will definitely be no problem,” Old Gu comforted him.
With that, he began to search this desolate place.
Not long after, he found the entrance to a cave.
“This is it!” Old Gu shouted.
Zhang Fan immediately walked over, and seeing this, a look of joy appeared on his face.
The two immediately walked in.
The cave was not deep. After only a few dozen meters, the two had already reached the bottom and saw a corpse sitting cross-legged.
This corpse had been here for an unknown amount of time.
However, the flesh and blood on its body had not decayed, still lifelike. If it weren't for the strong Death Qi emanating from it, anyone who saw it would probably think it was a living person.
In addition, around the corpse, there was also a Restriction Formation.
The Formation was quite profound. Even after an unknown number of years, it was still operating, emitting a faint golden glow, enveloping the entire body.
Zhang Fan stepped forward and tried to circulate his Qi and blood, wanting to break the Formation. However, the grand Formation was incredibly tough. No matter what methods he used to strike it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any ripple.
He increased his effort, but still gained nothing.
“Old Gu, how can this Restriction Formation be broken?” Zhang Fan said somewhat anxiously.
Being chased by so many people, finally seeing a Legacy, and having the hope of washing away the aura on his body, only to be blocked by a Formation and unable to obtain the treasure, made him very agitated.
“Don't worry!”
“Use the Martial Art I taught you back then, and try to transmit your Qi and blood into it!” Old Gu said.
Upon hearing this.
