112: Gu Feng attacked Cao Bu.

On the other side, Yan Ruyu and Gu Chuyan tumbled into a narrow rock crevice hidden by shrubs.

"First Smoke, are you alright?" Yan Ruyu gasped for air, hurriedly checking on Gu Chuyan's condition.

Gu Chuyan's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, but her eyes remained clear.

Although this poison was potent, she could temporarily suppress it by relying on the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

"I'm fine, but we must find Cao Bu as soon as possible and have him detoxify us," she said, looking at Yan Ruyu with concern.

Her own cultivation base was high, and with the Demonic Technique protecting her body, she should be able to hold on until they found Cao Bu.

However, it was hard to say for Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu's complexion was equally flushed, yet her gaze remained bright. "I'm fine, I can still hold on."

Perhaps because of her Taiyin Divine Body, this poison could not affect her for the time being.

At the spot where the six had been scattered, Gu Feng stood leisurely on a horizontal branch of an ancient tree.

The emperor weapon in his hand shimmered with a faint light, causing passing Yao Beasts to detour around him.

Relying on this emperor weapon, he had not only suppressed the toxins in his body but his cultivation base remained unaffected as well.

Gu Feng looked down at the surging beast tide below, his face devoid of any panic.

A triumphant smile curled at the corners of his mouth. "Cao Bu, if you die in the beast tide, it would save me from having to do it myself."

In the dense forest, the beast tide surged ceaselessly.

After half a day, the beast tide finally began to recede.

Gu Feng spread out his Divine Sense, his mouth curling up. "Big Brother, since you didn't die, let your brother send you on your way."

His figure flickered, transforming into the appearance of a rough man, and he donned a coarse linen garment before rushing towards the direction he sensed.

He was not skilled at disguise, but he knew the basics, and those with lower cultivation than him could not see through his true form.

This time, he was determined to make Cao Bu die.

Inside the dirt pit, Cao Bu saw the beast tide retreat, his tensed shoulders relaxed, and he let out a long breath.

"How are you two?"

He turned to look at Yun Shang and Gu Yin beside him; both were pressed tightly against him, their chests rising and falling faster and faster.

"We... we're fine." Their voices overlapped, both carrying obvious weakness, lacking even the strength to lift their heads.

Cao Bu was also poisoned, but he could still suppress it.

He had just helped the two women out of the dirt pit when a cold glint suddenly flashed into his pupils.

Cao Bu looked over and saw a rough man wielding a blade, slashing towards his neck.

Cao Bu's eyes narrowed slightly.

The opponent's attribute panel instantly appeared before his eyes.

The moment he saw the panel clearly, the vigilance in his eyes instantly turned into killing intent.

"Careful!"

"Big Brother!"

Yun Shang and Gu Yin, whose consciousnesses were blurred, sensed the danger by instinct.

The two struggled to lift their heads, crying out in alarm, struggling to push Cao Bu away, but their bodies were weak and their movements sluggish.

At the critical moment, "Clang—!"

A crisp sound of metal clashing exploded in the forest, making one's eardrums tremble.

A long sword shimmering with a dark luster suddenly appeared, accurately blocking in front of Cao Bu, parrying the incoming blade light.

The Sword Qi vibrated, shattering the cold star of light.

A slender figure stood silently in front of Cao Bu and the two women.

She wore tight black clothing, her eyes cold and sharp—it was none other than Ye Linglong.

"Linglong, you haven't been poisoned, have you?" Cao Bu hurriedly asked, his gaze sweeping over her entire body, fearing she might have been contaminated by the poison.

Ye Linglong turned back with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The thousand illusions exquisite pagoda had automatically protected its master at the last moment, but unfortunately, it was a split second too slow, allowing Cao Bu to be tainted by a trace of poison.

Hearing this, Cao Bu finally felt relieved.

Ye Linglong turned to the nearby Gu Feng and said coldly, "You dare Move against my Cao Bu; I will have you die."

After speaking, she took a step, her black clothing tracing a sharp arc in the air as she lunged straight at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng's hair stood on end, and he asked in disbelief, "Who exactly are you?!"

Being at the same Peak World King level, he had never met anyone who could give him this feeling.

And such a Prodigy had actually been hiding by Cao Bu's side all along—it was simply inconceivable.

Fortunately, this person was not a Realm Sovereign; if she discovered his true identity, it would be over.

Ye Linglong did not speak, her fierce attacks falling like a storm.

In just a few breaths, Gu Feng was heavily injured.

He gritted his teeth, hesitating whether to use his emperor weapon.

Little did he know, Yun Shang was staring at him intensely.

The person before her had changed his weapon, altered his appearance, and even his aura was unclear.

However, under Ye Linglong's offensive, his habitual Moves gradually revealed flaws.

As Gu Feng's bedfellow, she knew him better than anyone.

"You forced my hand."

In order to kill Cao Bu, Gu Feng no longer hesitated and took out the emperor weapon he had obtained in the tomb of the emperor bone Senior.

The moment the emperor weapon appeared, Yun Shang's body trembled; she was completely certain that this rough man was Gu Feng.

Her thoughts churned; she had not expected that Gu Feng would really try to kill Cao Bu.

If the two Matriarchs found out about this, even if Gu Feng were the Clan Chief, he would not escape severe punishment.

She glanced quietly at Cao Bu, seeing his calm expression, as if he had not seen through the rough man's identity.

That was true; she was the only one who had seen this emperor weapon, not even Gu Feng's own mother knew of it.

"Just a Medium Grade emperor weapon."

Ye Linglong's tone was full of disdain. She flipped her palm, and the thousand illusions exquisite pagoda hovered before her.

The moment the pagoda appeared, a thunderous vibration echoed through the heavens and earth.

"How is this possible? What Rank of emperor weapon is this?"

Gu Feng's mind shook. He could clearly sense that the Rank of this emperor weapon was even above the one in his own hands.

Was it a High Grade emperor weapon? Or a supreme dao emperor weapon?

He looked at Cao Bu in the distance, his eyes churning with intense unwillingness.

Having lost this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to eliminate his opponent next.

However, the current situation forced him to flee; otherwise, he would most likely remain here.

He looked at Yun Shang one last time, his gaze carrying a warning.

The meaning was self-evident: he was telling Yun Shang not to reveal his identity.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, used the emperor weapon to break the Restriction, and fled by flying away.

Ye Linglong was hesitating whether to pursue, when Cao Bu's voice transmission suddenly rang in her mind: "Linglong, if you can finish it, then finish it."

Since they had already fallen out, there was no need for him to hold back.

Moreover, Ye Linglong was pursuing this rough man, not Gu Feng.

Once this person was dead, who would know the truth?

Hearing this, Ye Linglong did not hesitate and quickly pursued.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared into the horizon.

Yun Shang suppressed the chaotic Qi in her body, her voice carrying a hint of weak confusion.

"Big Brother, who was that young lady just now? How could she have Concubine Su's emperor weapon?"

Cao Bu smiled and explained, "She is one of Third Godmother's people."

"As for that emperor weapon, it must be that Adoptive Mother was afraid we would be in danger, so she specifically gave it to her for self-defense."

Yun Shang lifted her eyes and took a deep look at him.

It seemed this Big Brother not only had an extraordinary relationship with her mother but also had a deep friendship with Concubine Su.

No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than the toxins in her body surged back.

Yun Shang's body went limp, and she subconsciously grabbed Cao Bu's arm to barely keep from falling.

Gu Yin, who was beside them, was in worse condition, leaning powerlessly against Cao Bu's shoulder, her breathing burning hot.

Cao Bu's gaze swept over the surroundings and soon spotted a natural cave hidden behind the shrubs in the distance.

"Let's go, we'll head to that cave and see if we can detoxify."

Yun Shang struggled to walk on her own, but she couldn't even take half a step; she had used up all her strength just to barely stand.

She bit her lower lip, her voice carrying a hint of apology: "Big Brother, I have to trouble you again."
