It’s not that annoying...
Xia Canonical Official came to her senses, slightly opened her eyes, and found the person standing beside her was Gu Changhuai. She was stunned and forgot to refuse.
Gu Changhuai saw her looking exhausted, turned his head, and said to Master Xiao: "Find a place to rest for a while."
Master Xiao was also running low on Spiritual Power at this time and nodded: "Alright."
So, they chose a relatively safe and defensible alleyway in the maze, the White Bone Alley, to rest temporarily.
Gu Changhuai helped Xia Canonical Official as they walked into the alley.
Xiao Tianquan passed them calmly, but when he looked at the backs of Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official, a hint of jealousy flashed in his sullen eyes.
It was as if something that belonged to him had been touched by someone else...
All this was observed by Master Xiao, who only smiled coldly without saying anything.
The White Bone Alley was in the shape of an "I", with two dead ends.
Master Xiao and Gu Changhuai’s groups occupied each end, wary of each other.
But there were exceptions.
Xiao Tianquan, who belonged to the same clan as Master Xiao, was now staying with Gu Changhuai.
Originally supposed to be with Gu Changhuai, Mo Hua was now "held hostage", staying with Master Xiao and Water Yama.
Mo Hua was still "unconscious".
Even when everyone was fighting the blood zombies, continuously battling, he did not wake up.
This only emphasized the prowess of Master Xiao’s Pupil Skill.
And also highlighted his own serious injuries.
Master Xiao was a Golden Core Cultivator, while he was just a minor Foundation Establishment. It stood to reason that being affected and unconscious for so long by a Golden Core Realm’s skill was reasonable.
Therefore, while everyone was busy fighting the blood zombies, Mo Hua felt justified in slacking off.
In reality, Mo Hua wasn’t really injured.
But he had to admit in his heart, this blood prison pupil skill from the smiling tiger was indeed impressive.
Even made him feel a strong sense of oppression.
But the oppression wasn’t strong enough.
It even felt to Mo Hua less intimidating than the big white dog that watched over the Sect Leader at Taixu Gate.
Mo Hua was a bit suspicious.
He just realized that he might have overestimated Master Xiao’s skill and underestimated Taixu Gate’s big dog.
That big dog might really not be an ordinary big dog.
Master Xiao was not as good as a dog.
And having defeated that big dog himself, it suggested... his pupil skill should not be inferior to Master Xiao’s.
Mo Hua felt reassured and was more confident about what lay ahead.
However, these were only his assumptions; the actual outcome of a real confrontation still needed someone to test...
Mo Hua, eyes closed, was calculating in his mind.
Water Yama kept staring at Mo Hua’s handsome face, growing angrier the more he looked, and said to Master Xiao in irritation: "Big Brother, this brat must be faking unconsciousness."
Master Xiao completely ignored him.
Water Yama’s chilly hand reached out to pinch Mo Hua’s neck, trying to wake him and humiliate him, to vent his anger.
He had suffered losses at Mo Hua’s hands repeatedly, and hated him to the point of madness.
But before he could act, Master Xiao’s cold gaze locked onto him: "Don’t touch him!"
Water Yama was confused: "Big Brother..."
"I said, this kid is still useful; before leaving the Dragon King Temple, don’t touch him, don’t make me say it twice." Master Xiao said coldly.
Water Yama could only reply resentfully: "Yes..."
Master Xiao paused silently, then suddenly took out the Water Prison Forbidden Box from the Storage Bag and tossed it to Water Yama.
Water Yama was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.
Master Xiao said: "You’ve already cultivated that technique to the fourth layer, it’s about time. For the next two days, don’t do anything; use your blood essence to nurture that box, find a way to open it..."
Open the box?!
The "unconscious" Mo Hua’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
This Master Xiao actually knew the method to open the Water Prison Forbidden Box?
Even Elder Yu from the Water Prison Sect didn’t know...
Mo Hua felt annoyed internally.
This Master Xiao, capable of Water Shadow Step, Water Prison Skill, Blood Prison Pupil Skill, even knew the way to open the Water Prison Forbidden Box.
