The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 241 Attacked
In the primeval forest, humans have not appeared for too long. For the animals living here, humans are like aliens who suddenly broke into the earth, making them curious and afraid.

Many predators just watched from a distance and left soon because they were unsure of the extent of the threat posed by the predators and did not dare to attack rashly.

But ghosts hiding in the woods don't have so many scruples.

Most of them are animal ghosts, and only a few are human ghosts. Even so, the human ghosts still rely on their intelligence and wisdom to gain the right to speak.

Under their command, this group of ghosts from the underworld launched the first attack on the group.

Things flying in the sky and running on the ground rushed towards the crowd from all directions.

Putting aside their strength, just looking at the number is enough to scare anyone to death. Countless ghosts are overwhelming, like a tsunami, as if they will drown them in the next second.

But facing these small fry, even Zhang Qiuyan's expression didn't change much, let alone others.

Huo Yunjing took a step forward, blocking Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen behind him, and then instantly opened a ban to block the ghost in front.

Gu Qingyin was not idle either. The moment she was blocked, the talisman paper in her hand flew out like flowers scattered by a fairy. The moment it touched the soul, it emitted a soft light and silently helped the person to be reincarnated.

At the back, Gu Ziqian stood in place, raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. The attacking souls seemed to have hit something, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the humanoid ghost hiding behind turned around and ran. After another loud "bang", the forest returned to silence again.

After a few minutes, all the ghosts that attacked them were liberated and the group continued on their journey.

Similar small attacks occur about once every half an hour. They are not even small setbacks, but at most a small diversion on the boring journey.

Soon, two hours passed, and Huo Xingchen's small body became visibly tense.

Gu Qingyin understood and reminded him, "It's coming."

Zhang Qiuyan and Dongfang Lingjun, who were walking in the middle and were well protected, became alert and took out their own magic weapons for self-defense.

The crowd's pace remained the same, but the atmosphere became noticeably tense. Everyone kept glancing around, alert to impending danger.

Knowing that there would be danger, but not knowing when it would come, Zhang Qiuyan felt like every second was a year, and the oppression made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

This reminded her of the first time she accepted a commission, and she was also very nervous.

But looking at the others, although they were also alert, their expressions were still relaxed.

Zhang Qiuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. After many years of debut, she is still a rookie after her return. This is exactly her.

At this moment, Huo Xingchen, who was held in Gu Qingyin's arms, suddenly turned around and happened to meet her eyes.

Huo Xingchen smiled slightly and turned his eyes away very naturally.

Zhang Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, and felt even more bitter in her heart. Her mentality was not as good as a child's, although a child might not know what fear was...

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Qiuyan was not so nervous anymore. She took a deep breath and suddenly stopped.

Dongfang Lingjun, who was standing next to him, noticed something was wrong, turned around and asked with concern: "Dayan? Are you tired?"

Zhang Qiuyan slowly raised her head, and at the same time, the hand holding the peach wood dagger stabbed towards Dongfang Lingjun very quickly!

Dongfang Lingjun's pupils shrank slightly, and he wanted to dodge in his mind, but his old body obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of his brain. He only had time to shake, and his skin felt the stinging pain from the tip of the sword. It's over! Dongfang Lingjun thought, his time and space formation has not been set up yet!

With a "ding" sound, the wooden sword was blocked. It turned out to be a white jade fan from Gu Ziqian's hand.

The next second, Zhang Qiuyan was also trapped by the God-Locking Talisman.

The crisis is temporarily over.

After the pure white jade fan was taken back, Dongfang Lingjun finally came back to his senses. He looked at the numb Zhang Qiuyan with an anxious look on his face, "Did the wild goose get possessed?"

At some point, Gu Qingyin had already put Huo Xingchen down. At this moment, she was looking at Zhang Qiuyan with her chin in her hand. Upon hearing what he said, she shook her head and responded, "It's more like she's being controlled."

Huo Yunjing nodded, "My willpower was weak, so I was taken advantage of."

Dongfang Lingjun sighed and felt a little regretful for bringing Zhang Qiuyan here. She was a good talent, and if she died in Ailao Mountain because of his decision, he would never forgive himself even until his death.

"It's not a big problem, just remove it." Gu Ziqian stepped forward and was about to take action.

"You don't need to get involved in such a small matter!" A childish voice came from below.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their attention was attracted by the thin black stick in Huo Xingchen's hand.

Gu Qingyin smiled knowingly, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Gu Ziqian looked at the small black stick and raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this a magical tool for the soul to recognize its master?
Huo Yunjing was also surprised. After knowing each other for so many days, this was the first time he saw Huo Xingchen take out this small black stick. Perhaps it had miraculous effects?
Compared to them, Dongfang Lingjun was much more impatient. He didn't think such a young child could save his beloved disciple, "Xingchen, stop making trouble..."

"Grandpa, believe me!" Huo Xingchen trotted and stood in front of Zhang Qiuyan. He raised his little head and looked directly into Zhang Qiuyan's numb eyes. Then he raised his baton and said sternly, "Get out!"

The next second, a gust of night wind blew, and Zhang Qiuyan rolled her eyes and fainted.

Dongfang Lingjun was startled, and just as he was about to go over, he was held back by Gu Ziqian, "It's all right now."

Dongfang Lingjun: “Ah?”

In less than two sentences, Zhang Qiuyan, who had fainted, woke up again. She raised her head and looked at everyone blankly, "What happened?"

Gu Qingyin lifted the effect of the talisman, and the support from the God-Locking Talisman suddenly disappeared. She staggered twice before she stood firm, and then said "Huh?" with a surprised look on her face, "Why do I feel so weak... What happened?"

For a moment, no one spoke.

Gu Qingyin and the other three were waiting for Dongfang Lingjun to speak, but Dongfang Lingjun was still shocked by Huo Xingchen's ability. In the end, Huo Xingchen, the pseudo-child, shook the baton in his hand with a smug look on his face and explained in a concise manner what had just happened.

Zhang Qiuyan was very shocked. Are children nowadays so smart? Then she felt ashamed. She had lived for more than 20 years in vain, and she had to rely on a baby to save her...Oh my God, she was too embarrassed to face anyone!

Zhang Qiuyan's face flushed, but she still looked bravely at Huo Xingchen and thanked him sincerely.

Huo Xingchen shook his head and stared at her for two seconds. Suddenly, he tilted his head and grinned, revealing a wicked smile. "You're welcome."

Zhang Qiuyan was stunned. Is something wrong? She subconsciously looked up and saw that Gu Qingyin, Huo Yunjing and Gu Ziqian all had cold faces, frowning and staring at "Huo Xingchen" standing in the middle of the crowd.
