Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 231 Is there a Spirit Lord in the Jade Pool?
"The environment is nice!" Master Shenhao praised.

At this point, they had left Daping County, the southernmost part of Baishi Prefecture, and entered the Wuyailing branch, which is considered the upper reaches of the Changshui River. The famous Bishuitan is located in this valley.

"There are still some villages and towns in the mountains." Master Qingyuan looked down at the foot of the mountain not far away, where wisps of smoke could be seen rising.

Master Shenhao nodded, "The situation is better than at White Bone Mountain."

They had just come down from White Bone Mountain, where there was hardly anyone living within a ten-mile radius, and the atmosphere in the villages and towns within dozens of miles was very oppressive, a truly gloomy and desolate place.

Here we enter the Wuyaling branch, where the sky is high and the clouds are light, the trees are lush and green, and hundreds of flowers are blooming in the mountains. The overall environment is much better than Baigushan.

The two walked a little further, turned into a grove of trees, and the village they had just seen was now in sight. They couldn't help but look towards the roadside.

A young woman in a green dress stood beside the mountain path, with a table in front of her and a scroll on it. She looked serene, with one hand rolled up and the other holding a brush, painting.

Both Master Shenhao and Master Shenhao had excellent eyesight and immediately recognized that the girl's painting depicted distant green mountains, a stream at the foot of the mountains, villages and towns along the stream, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.

Behind the girl stood a burly man, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, who looked at her with a kind gaze.

Just as Daoist Shenhao and Daoist Qingyuan saw the two, the burly man also glanced at them. At first, he didn't care, but in the blink of an eye, he became wary.

"Om-"

The lightning seed in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, signaling to the two old Taoists that the burly man before them was exuding a murderous aura.

Master Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, then frowned slightly, looked the burly man up and down, and then looked at the girl with a lot of doubt in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Shenhao?" Daoist Qingyuan looked at Daoist Shenhao.

Master Shenhao shook his head, then strode towards the girl in the green dress.

Before the girl could react, the burly man stepped in front of her, his gaze fixed on the two old Taoist priests with hostility. "Who are you?"

The burly man spoke, and the girl paused her writing, looked up and saw the two old Taoist priests, asking in confusion, "Uncle Mo?"

Mo Wei said in a deep voice, "Two unfamiliar old men who can appear here must not be ordinary people."

Although Master Qingyuan had put the longsword back into the storage gourd, he had practiced martial arts for many years and now had hundreds of years of cultivation after transmigrating, so his extraordinary demeanor was immediately recognized.

Not to mention Master Shenhao, his two long white eyebrows drooped down, but his figure was tall and upright, his face was ruddy and glowing, and his eyes were bright and piercing. He was clearly a great master with a full spirit.

"They're just two traveling mages, Uncle Mo, why bother with them?" The girl waved her hand, nodded politely to the two, and then continued to paint.

Master Shenhao raised a white eyebrow, only then confirming that the girl in the green dress before him was actually a Spirit Lord.

"Are you from Bishuitan?" Master Qingyuan asked.

“Since you know this is the territory of the Jade Pool, don’t cause trouble,” Mo Wei warned. “If you cause trouble and get eaten by the monsters in the pool, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Master Qingyuan laughed upon hearing this, "You're not going to eat me?"

Mo Wei said calmly, "I don't eat people."

Master Shenhao replied calmly, "Aren't you the monster in the pool?"

Mo Wei glared at him, "So what if it is?"

Mo Wei's aura wasn't strong, similar to Lou Jingou and Huang Yuan's. Not to mention he had a Spirit Lord by his side, which is why Daoist Qingyuan seemed puzzled and Daoist Shenhao was willing to talk to him.

Master Shenhao glanced at him, then looked at the girl. “The painting is good, the composition is clever, and the brushstrokes are delicate, but the distant mountains are not rounded and soft enough, the layering is shallow, there is no movement in the stillness, and the painting does not capture the feeling of life.”

The girl looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she gazed at Daoist Shenhao.

Looking at Master Shenhao, then at the painting on the table, the girl carefully examined it for a moment, then put down her paintbrush, came to Mo Wei's side, and politely bowed to Master Shenhao, "Master, is there something you want to ask?"

"Clever!" Daoist Shenhao stroked his beard and smiled, then asked again, "Are you from Biyuetan?"

The girl nodded. "Yes."

Master Shenhao glanced at Mo Wei, who was looking at him warily, and asked, "What is your relationship with the Azure Dragon of the Azure Pool?"

"Insolence!" Mo Wei shouted, about to make a move.

But the girl stopped him, saying, "I am her sister, my name is Bi Yingying."

Master Qingyuan stared wide-eyed. He had thought that the girl was Ningbi Jiao's daughter, who had been well protected since childhood and had never done anything evil, which was why she was the Spirit Lord. He never expected that she was actually his sister.

"Is your brother also a Spirit Lord?" Master Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

Bi Yingying glanced at Master Qingyuan curiously, "She is my older sister, her name is Bi Jingjing."

Master Qingyuan felt awkward.

It is said that all the leaders of the forces he encountered here were men, and he subconsciously assumed that Ningbi Jiao was also male, but he was wrong.

Bi Yingying looked at Daoist Shenhao with a calm expression but firm words, "You two have come to Bishui Pool to see my sister?"

Master Shenhao nodded. "Not bad."

Bi Yingying shook her head. "My sister has a bad temper and is prone to disrespecting you two. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will relay it. That might be better."

Master Shenhao couldn't help but laugh, "Are you afraid your sister will kill us?"

Ningbi Jiao can stand up to Baigu Shenjun. Daoist Shenhao and Daoist Qingyuan are not highly skilled and are indeed no match for this Bijingjing.

“She rarely kills anyone,” Bi Yingying sighed, “but these two don’t suit her taste, and meeting them in person would be more harmful than beneficial.”

"What do you mean?" Master Qingyuan asked curiously.

Mo Wei snorted coldly, "You dare to come here without even finding out my master's preferences?"

Master Shenhao smiled slightly, "Because we didn't come here seeking help."

"If you're not here to ask for help, are you here to cause trouble?" Mo Wei glanced at the two men, his words laced with disdain.

Mo Wei's words were barbed, but Master Qingyuan didn't care. He simply said, "There are some things that I still need to ask you in person."

"You too..."

Before Mo Wei could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He looked up and saw several streaks of light flash across the sky, swooping down and heading straight for the emerald pool deep in the mountains behind him.

"Second Miss, these people seem to be after us..."

Mo Wei had only finished half of his second sentence when he saw the streak of light in the sky change direction and then fall down towards his location with a "whoosh".

The next moment, four people dressed similarly to the two old mages in front of him landed beside him.

“A chilling aura follows you.” Master Jingfeng looked at Mo Wei, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, and a sinister and cold aura emanated from him.

Mo Wei's heart pounded as he shielded Bi Yingying, "Second Miss, run! I..."

"Junior Brother Jingfeng, don't make a move yet. His murderous aura isn't strong. Perhaps we've misjudged the situation at Biyue Pool," Master Shenhao advised.

Mo Wei swallowed hard, looked at Daoist Shen Hao with a complicated expression.

Bi Yingying's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Are you here to deal with my sister?"
