Chapter 21 Moving
Upon hearing Su Luo's voice, Chunhe's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and shouted, "Sister Su!"
Great! Sister Su actually came! They're saved!
Chunhe's grandfather also stood up. Seeing the girl looking relaxed and carefree in the moonlight, and recalling the earth-shattering thunder just now, the old man's eyes showed not only the joy of surviving the disaster, but also a deep thought.
Upon hearing Chunhe's voice, Su Luo smiled and waved towards the direction of the earthen house, instructing, "Chunhe, take your grandfather and hide well, don't come out."
"Yes! I will!"
Su Luo then turned her gaze to the female cultivator whose face was full of disbelief, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had arrived in time.
She had intended to say goodbye to Chunhe and the others before leaving, but she didn't expect to hear such a commotion as soon as she got close. So she immediately concealed her presence and hid not far away to eavesdrop. She quickly figured out the purpose of the three people causing trouble.
They coveted the spiritual plants that Chunhe had picked and wanted to seize her territory, so they tried to force her into a corner. However, because of her protective talisman, they couldn't get in and couldn't catch Chunhe. So they thought of threatening the little girl with the lives of the villagers.
It's a shame they're cultivators; their greed and malice are truly disgusting!
Su Luo estimated the combat strength and quickly realized that she, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, was definitely no match for three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, let alone the two male cultivators who were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, she did not confront the three directly, but instead hid in the darkness without making a sound. When the two male cultivators walked towards the villager's house, she first used an invisibility talisman to approach them, then used a thunder talisman to quickly launch a sneak attack, while she used an acceleration talisman to quickly leave the spot.
This was the first time she had used the Thunderclap Talisman.
The Thunderclap Talisman has many limitations. Because it is very powerful and attacks indiscriminately, it can easily harm innocent people. Therefore, it is best to use it in a wide, empty open space. Fortunately, the open space that these two are walking in now is very large, and the surrounding houses are still a long distance away from them.
These two boys are really going to be her guinea pigs...
Su Luo was very satisfied with the experimental results. Just as the two people realized something was wrong, the Thunder Talisman had already taken effect, and extremely destructive lightning struck wildly, injuring or killing the two people.
Once Su Luo confirmed that the remaining female cultivator was at the same early Foundation Establishment stage as her and posed no threat, she stepped forward.
"What are you talking about?!"
The female cultivator was so provoked that she went mad, her beautiful face contorted in anger. She drew her longsword and stabbed at Su Luo.
"You madman, what kind of move did you use?! You actually launched a sneak attack! I won't let you get away with this!"
The speed-up talisman on Su Luo's body was still working, and she nimbly dodged left and right. The female cultivator tried to stab her for a long time but couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes, which made her even more furious.
"Ahhh! Don't dodge!"
"That won't do. My swordsmanship is poor. If I don't dodge, am I supposed to just wait to be killed by you?"
While dodging, Su Luo spoke infuriatingly, trying her best to steer the conversation towards her female cultivator companions, "Hey! I really feel sorry for your teammates, they were all struck by lightning and their fates are unknown, and yet you're still playing this game of chase with me, not even glancing at them. The world is going to the dogs..."
"Shut up! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!"
The female cultivator was furious. She tried everything she could but couldn't touch the girl. Then, Su Luo's words struck her so hard that she was so angry that she almost spat out blood.
However, after Su Luo's reminder, she realized that she hadn't had time to check on her teammates' condition yet, and hoped that nothing had happened to them.
Fortunately, she still had healing pills on her. If she could heal them, and given their numbers, they could catch that brat and tear her to pieces!
Thinking of this, the female cultivator quickly ran to check on the two of them.
However, because it was dark, she couldn't see where the person was for a moment, so she took out the bright stone to light it. But the next moment, she opened her eyes wide and gasped.
A huge pit had suddenly appeared on the once flat ground. The pit was surrounded by charred marks, and at the bottom of the pit, two people, blackened to a crisp, lay with their eyes closed, their fate unknown.
"How despicable! You just wait!"
The female cultivator turned around angrily and glared at Su Luo, only to see her standing far away, smiling and staring at them. For some reason, the female cultivator suddenly felt something was off.
She was too anxious to think about the strange feeling, so she quickly turned around and called out to the two of them several times, but they didn't respond. Frustrated, she slammed her fist on the ground.
"Damn it!"
So she had no choice but to go to the two of them and check if they were still alive. She breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that they were both breathing, and then unceremoniously reached out and pushed them.
"Wake up!"
But for some reason, the two still did not wake up.
"Hey, what is this?"
Suddenly, the female cultivator noticed that each of the two had a talisman affixed to their bodies, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose within her.
"Oh, I forgot to mention."
Su Luo, who was not far away, seemed to suddenly remember something and reminded them, "I also brought you a gift~ Now that you're all here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the talisman emitted a dazzling light.
"you……!"
The female cultivator's eyes were bloodshot as she turned to rush over and fight Su Luo to the death. However, the bone-chilling cold that followed made her legs begin to move uncontrollably. Frost spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head at an extremely terrifying speed, freezing the three of them into ice sculptures.
Before being frozen into an ice sculpture, the female cultivator was filled with regret.
So it was this girl who knew talismans! She was too reckless; she never imagined that this young girl could use so many powerful talismans! They'd kicked a hornet's nest! Damn it!!!
However, it was too late for her to regret it, because the female cultivator and the two male cultivators who had been struck by lightning and passed out were frozen into ice sculptures and could no longer move.
Su Luo clapped her hands and breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, all done!"
Fortunately, she possessed a strong spiritual sense and a talent for drawing talismans; otherwise, with her early Foundation Establishment level and mediocre swordsmanship, she would have been no match for these three Foundation Establishment cultivators!
In any case, I must improve my cultivation level in the later stages!
Su Luo went to check on the three people and, after confirming that they were frozen and unable to move, she went to Chunhe's house. Since she had written the protective talisman, it naturally wouldn't reject her.
"Sister Su!"
Upon seeing Su Luo enter, Chunhe could no longer contain herself. Her eyes sparkled as she rushed over, showering him with compliments.
"You're amazing! One against three, that's incredible! You used lightning and ice, you're so amazing!"
Su Luo smiled sheepishly, "I only managed to launch a sneak attack. If it really came down to a fight, I wouldn't be able to beat all three of them."
"No! Sister Su is amazing! If it weren't for Sister Su, we might have fallen into the villain's trap today! Sister Su, you are my goddess!"
Even with her thick skin, Su Luo couldn't withstand such flattery. She turned her head and coughed awkwardly, "Hehe... really?"
At this moment, Chunhe Aweng slowly walked over. He withdrew his complicated gaze from the window, turned around and thanked Su Luo, even wanting to kneel down to thank her for saving his life.
“Old man, there’s no need for this! We’ve known each other for a while now, I would never let you be bullied.” Su Luo quickly helped him up and said seriously.
"However, you'll probably have to move and can't stay here any longer! Today's incident has blown up too much. Not to mention anything else, because of these three people, the surrounding villagers should have heard about Chunhe picking spiritual plants. To prevent anyone from deliberately approaching you or making any moves, you have to leave here, or at least go somewhere where no one knows your secret."
The old man sighed and nodded, his gaze turning back to the earthen house filled with reluctance. "Yes, I knew this day would come. One can never be too careful..."
From the moment Chunhe was able to freely enter and leave Fanjing Mountain with the help of the peace talisman, he knew that they would have to leave sooner or later, after all, the temptation of Fanjing Mountain was just too great.
When Chunhe realized that she was the one who caused this, the excitement on her face vanished instantly. She bit her lower lip, grabbed the old man's sleeve, and lowered her head in guilt.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, it's all my fault..."
The old man patted her head affectionately. "Silly child, it's not your fault. You just wanted to earn more spirit stones to make life better for your family."
"grandfather……"
Su Luo hurriedly said, "I also bear some responsibility for this. If I hadn't taken Chunhe to Fanjing Mountain to pick herbs these past few days, she wouldn't have been targeted for selling spiritual plants too frequently. Where are you going next? I'll give you a ride."
"This...this is too much trouble for Cultivator Su..."
"It's alright. I'm leaving here today anyway, so I'll just give you a ride. Besides, meeting is fate, and I'd like to spend a few more days with Chunhe."
“Sister…” Chunhe clasped her hands to her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.
The old man said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you. I plan to take Ahe with me to Tangcheng to find my son."
The two of them, one old and one young, were in great danger walking on the road. If Cultivator Su were with them, they would certainly be much safer. However, they had already received his help, and he felt he had no way to repay him! It seemed he had to use "that" to repay Cultivator Su…
After discussing it, Chunhe and the old man quickly packed up their useful belongings. Su Luo even took out a storage bag and helped them put all the heavy furniture they needed inside.
There was no other way; Chunhe and her grandfather were both mortals without any magical powers, so they couldn't use the storage bag at all and had to rely on her.
As Su Luo helped pack, her thoughts drifted to distant places: Tang City, she had never been there before, and wondered what kind of town it was…
