Chapter 47

As Gui Bu Gui continued to look around, Wu Mian couldn't help but say, "What did you throw? Even the Tunaos couldn't stand it." Gui Bu Gui stretched his neck and said, "Sand, I blinded it..."

At this moment, Guang Xian on the stone roof suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Senior Brother Gui, how long do you plan to pretend to be a fool? I've long heard that your cultivation method was sealed by the Great Fangshi. Now that the seal is broken, are you still pretending to be foolish to this beast, or are you digging a pit for me to jump into?"

Although Wu Mian vaguely guessed that Gui Bu Gui's seal was likely broken, he was still somewhat shocked to hear it from Guang Xian's mouth. Unexpectedly, Gui Bu Gui said indifferently, "Guang Xian, instead of thinking about me, take care of yourself."

Saying this, Gui Bu Gui suddenly thought of something, paused, and then said to Guang Xian, "By the way, are you here for this beast or for the Immortal Tomb?"

"Finding this Immortal Tomb can be considered a pleasant surprise," Guang Xian smiled faintly. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly sensed something wrong with the wind around him. He then changed the direction of the wind, swung his long hair, and sent a hundred silver lights flying towards the source.

The air was filled with the Tunaos' mournful howls. After a few howls, the ground returned to calm. At this point, Guang Xian continued, "Seventy-five years ago, I severely injured this beast, but unfortunately, I was careless and let it escape. For all these years, I have been constantly tracking its whereabouts. It wasn't until recently that I heard the ghost stories. I came in to try my luck. I didn't expect to be able to settle the matter from seventy-five years ago and also discover this Immortal Tomb."

Pausing here, Guang Xian then focused his attention on Wu Mian, "Senior Brother Gui, tell your little brother. The two sons of Tunaos were almost all killed by him. Tunaos now has a chance to escape, but he is still here for your little brother."

After Guang Xian finished speaking, the air was filled with Tunaos' roars, as if it was agreeing with Guang Xian's words.

Wu Mian thought that the reunion between Gui Bu Gui and Guang Xian was almost over. But unexpectedly, Guang Xian paused and continued, "I always feel that this beast is different from seventy-five years ago. After absorbing the immortal energy for seventy-five years, it might have changed in ways it hasn't even noticed."

"Then we can't let it out," Gui Bu Gui said. "This shadow technique won't last long. When the time comes, it's up to you. We'll support you. Don't worry, if you need help, there's him too." As he spoke, Gui Bu Gui deliberately pointed to Wu Mian's position.

Guang Xian hummed and ignored Gui Bu Gui and Wu Mian. She took out a small clay bottle from her chest and threw it down from the stone roof. The small bottle shattered as expected, and a dark green liquid splashed everywhere. Suddenly, a long howl echoed in the air, followed by a black shadow appearing next to the bottle fragments.

The black shadow, like it was frozen, stared at the green liquid on the ground. It was clearly Tunaos, but it was unclear why it suddenly appeared. Guang Xian and Gui Bu Gui didn't immediately attack. Both had the same expression, coldly watching the black shadow, as if waiting for its next move. After a moment, Wu Mian understood and said to Gui Bu Gui, "Is this a demon-sealing talisman?"

Gui Bu Gui's eyes were still fixed on Tunaos' reaction. The old man smiled and said, "Not exactly a talisman, but close. This is special ink used to draw demon-sealing talismans. Back then, your Great Fangshi obtained the skin of the legendary Zhaogongming's mount and used the fat from the tiger's corpse to make this ink. Normally, this ink is diluted with sesame oil when drawing talismans. Guang Xian is generous, throwing the whole bottle."

After hearing Gui Bu Gui's explanation, Wu Mian had other questions. He looked at Guang Xian, who was still on the stone roof, and said, "Didn't you have a capture technique earlier? Why not use it again on Tunaos? Why waste a whole bottle of that ink?"

Hearing Wu Mian's words, Gui Bu Gui's expression became a bit unnatural. He glanced at Guang Xian on the stone roof and said, "The capture technique has too many restrictions. You need to set up an array beforehand; you can't just capture it whenever you want. Once that opportunity is wasted, it won't come again."

Just as Gui Bu Gui finished speaking, a white shadow suddenly darted out from outside the peach grove. Wu Mian only saw a blur, and before he could react, the white shadow had already knocked Tunaos away.

Almost at the same moment the white shadow appeared, the silent Guang Xian suddenly moved. Her long hair danced wildly, and countless silver lights flew out from behind her, shooting towards the direction of the white shadow like lightning.

"Ugh..." After a series of惨叫声, the white shadow fell to the ground. At this point, it was clear that it was Yin Bai, who had pretended to be dead to fool Wu Mian earlier. Now, Yin Bai was covered in blood, and its original fur color was no longer visible. After falling, it struggled to move forward, covering the ink with its body.

At this moment, Tunaos also returned to normal. Seeing that the one who had knocked it away was Yin Bai, Tunaos let out a long howl, "Ao!..." Then it lunged forward, reaching Yin Bai in an instant. Tunaos lay on its child, licking its wounds with its tongue. After a few licks, Yin Bai's eyes, which had been closed, opened again. It lifted its head, wagged its tail at its mother, and then fell back to the ground, weak.

This was the perfect moment to deal with Tunaos, but Guang Xian hesitated and retracted the silver lights she had released, including those embedded in Yin Bai's body. Yin Bai's pain was greatly reduced, and it wagged its tail at Tunaos. Gui Bu Gui urged from the side, "What are you waiting for? Guang Xian, you can't seal it now. If you don't act, there will be no more chances."

Guang Xian ignored him, sighed lightly, and her body slowly disappeared into the air. Her last words before disappearing were, "Forget it, let it be." As she spoke, she had completely vanished.

"Don't let it be, what about us?" Gui Bu Gui shouted towards the spot where Guang Xian had disappeared, but there was no response.

"Forget about her," Wu Mian's body was again covered in countless electric arcs. He looked at the old man and then nodded at Tunaos, who was now looking at them, and said, "Let's deal with what's in front of us. This beast doesn't seem to fear my lightning, and we're underground, so I can't summon celestial lightning. Do you have any better ideas, old man?" Although he knew Gui Bu Gui was different now, the habits formed over so many years weren't easy to change.

Gui Bu Gui, as if he didn't notice Wu Mian's disrespectful tone, looked at the growling Tunaos, sighed lightly, and said, "Even if you have the seed, it will take at least another hundred years before you might stand a chance against Tunaos. But for now, don't think too much. Let's find a way out. At least Tunaos will keep an eye on things here. Even after a few hundred years, most people who come here won't return."

"You seem to have forgotten about yourself," Wu Mian stared at Tunaos, who was slowly turning around and coldly watching him and Gui Bu Gui. After a pause, he continued, "Since the seal is broken, why not come down and stretch your legs? You're already buried up to your neck in the earth. If you don't move, you might tarnish the Great Fangshi's reputation and become the first to die after achieving immortality..."
