He did not inquire about Xingliu's motives and purpose, because in the face of absolute power, any superfluous words would seem pale and powerless.
Xingliu's strength had exceeded his expectations, and he was confident he could escape even when facing Zhang Zhiwei.
The man in front of me, without even showing his face, was easily detained here via the internet, and all possibilities of escape were blocked.
In his view, this was more than ten times more terrifying than the Old Celestial Master.
He even felt that the so-called demons were nothing more than this.
Moreover, circumstances are beyond our control. Asking so clearly is like asking if we don't want to die soon enough.
So he stopped wasting words and began to explain the mysteries of the Great Luo Cave.
Xingliu was satisfied with his performance and nodded slightly.
Gu Qiting's decisiveness surprised him, but it also saved him a lot of trouble.
However, he did not notice that the moment Qu Tong hung up the phone, she pressed a button.
This subtle movement was completely overlooked by Seiryu, who was completely focused on Gujiting.
Or rather, Qu Tong pressed this button not at all targeting Xing Liu, otherwise Xing Liu would have noticed it.
Soon after, Xingliu saw the system notification that the task was completed, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Meanwhile, Ma Hongxian dealt with the other people who were blocking him at the stronghold and hurriedly arrived here.
When Ma Hongxian saw Qu Tong, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He endured for seven whole days, and finally Qu Tong appeared.
However, Qu Tong's alertness exceeded his expectations; she chose to leave the moment she sensed something was wrong.
Ma Hongxian wanted to chase after them immediately, but she was surrounded by a group of people inside the stronghold.
Fortunately, he was quite strong, and after a fierce battle, he finally broke through the encirclement.
Ma Hongxian thought the plan had failed, but she didn't expect that Xingliu was not exaggerating.
When he met Qu Tong, the matter indeed came to an end.
When Ma Hongxian saw his enemy, he could no longer suppress his anger.
He stepped forward, grabbed Qu Tong, and slammed her against the wall.
"Where is my grandfather?!" he roared.
Although Qu Tong had some strength, she knew she had no chance to resist with Xing Liu present.
Therefore, when Ma Hongxian angrily pulled her up and slammed her against the wall, Qu Tong chose not to resist.
The impact made her cry out in pain, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Ma Hongxian's anger seemed to burn the entire room. He stared intently at Qu Tong, his eyes wide, eagerly awaiting her answer.
Qu Tong knew she needed time to prepare her backup plan, so she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and spoke with difficulty:
“Your grandfather had already passed away when I found him. He didn’t last long due to excessive blood loss.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongxian's expression changed drastically, as if all the color had drained from his face in an instant.
Memories flooded back, and he remembered his grandfather's injuries and his original intention to take his grandfather with him.
After being ambushed by Qu Tong and having precious time for treatment was wasted, he already had a bad feeling.
And now, that premonition has been cruelly proven true.
Ma Hongxian felt a surge of heat rush to his head, his anger and grief intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to control his emotions.
His hands were clenched into fists, trembling, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
Driven by these extreme emotions, he launched a fatal attack on Qu Tong without hesitation.
Faced with Ma Hongxian's thunderous attack, Qu Tong disregarded Xing Liu's presence on the sidelines and immediately launched a counterattack.
The two engaged in a fierce battle in this confined space, each move deadly, neither giving an inch.
Xingliu stood quietly to the side, watching the battle with a cold eye.
His deal with Ma Hongxian was complete, and the remaining disputes were none of his concern.
His indifferent attitude also made Qu Tong realize that Xing Liu's purpose in coming here was purely to find the Daluo Cave Temple, and that his relationship with Ma Hongxian was not that deep.
This realization made Qu Tong feel a little regretful.
She was quite strong; without Xingliu's interference, Ma Hongxian would have been no match for her.
In that way, her original plan could still proceed smoothly.
However, it was too late for regrets now. According to her calculations, her backup plan should have already been in place.
Thinking about all this, Qu Tong lost interest in the battle in front of her.
After repelling another fierce attack from Ma Hongxian, she took the opportunity to jump far away, creating distance between herself and the battle.
Chapter 238 The Strange Events at Longhu Mountain
She glanced at Xingliu, Gu Qiting, and the others with a complicated expression, her voice tinged with helplessness and exhaustion:
"The demon should have awakened by now, Gu Qiting. You should leave. With your abilities, you might be able to live a little longer."
Qu Tong originally thought she would feel hysterical pleasure at the end, but when she really looked back, she realized that she actually had nothing left.
Her husband waited for her until his death, but she had already changed her name and could no longer face him as Duanmu Ying.
Because once her identity is exposed, she will face endless pursuit and hatred.
She lost so much on this long journey.
In the end, she was surprised to find that all she had left was the deep friendship with Gu Qiting, who was also a master of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
This friendship was like a ray of sunshine in winter, giving her final warmth and comfort.
She couldn't help but feel deeply moved, and an indescribable sense of sorrow welled up in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiting was startled and looked at Qu Tong with disbelief.
Although he knew that Qu Tong had gone somewhat insane, he never expected that she could go to this extent.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He knew that at this point, nothing he said could change the situation.
Xingliu and Ma Hongxian were completely confused, not understanding what Qu Tong was talking about.
Qu Tong didn't offer any explanation; she simply looked up at the distant sky, lost in thought.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Ma Hongxian's anger, which had just cooled down, surged up again.
"You think you can get away with saying some nonsense? Prepare to die!"
As he spoke, he unleashed his magical weapon and attacked Qu Tong. Qu Tong, who was already determined to die, did not dodge or evade the attack.
At this critical moment, a figure flashed by, blocking the fatal blow for Qu Tong.
Gu Qiting stood in front of Qu Tong, glaring at Ma Hongxian and loudly questioning Qu Tong:
"Duanmu Ying, what are you thinking?! Is this all the hatred you've got? You say you want to die together with your enemy, but the Lü family is still alive and well, and you just want to die here like this?!"
His voice was filled with disappointment and anger.
Faced with Gu Jiting's provocation, Qu Tong simply smiled calmly.
She raised her hand and gently brushed away the stray strands of hair at her temples, her eyes revealing a detached tranquility:
"It doesn't matter anymore. The demon will avenge me; he won't let anyone who has learned the Eight Extraordinary Techniques go. The Lü family has two masters; they are destined to suffer the same fate."
Gu Qiting felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Qu Tong's cold words.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Then what about me? What am I supposed to do? You said you'd make those who hunted us down pay the price, and this is how you're making them pay?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Tong gazed at Gu Jiting's retreating figure and sighed deeply.
"It's too late, everything is already set in stone. We can't go back."
Just then, Xingliu's expression suddenly changed.
He sensed a powerful energy fluctuation appearing in the distance, an aura so strong and malevolent that it seemed poised to devour the entire world.
He looked in that direction, where Longhu Mountain was located.
Fortunately, he could sense that although the aura was powerful, it was not to the point that he could not handle it.
However, he does not intend to get involved in this matter.
In his view, this is the bitter fruit sown by the people of this world themselves, and they should bear the consequences themselves.
Just as Xingliu was about to submit the mission and leave this chaotic world with Chen Duo and Xia He, his phone suddenly rang.
"You love me, I love you, Michelle Bingcheng, so sweet~~"
The ringing of the bell seemed particularly abrupt at this moment, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Xingliu gave an awkward laugh, but inwardly cursed Xia He:
"That brat! She secretly changed my ringtone without telling me! I'll teach her a lesson when I get back! She won't be able to get out of bed for at least three days!"
Although somewhat reluctant, Xingliu answered the phone.
Immediately, Zhang Chulan's anxious cry for help came from the other end of the phone: "Grandpa, help! Bao'er seems to be in trouble, the Celestial Master wants to kill her!"
Xingliu frowned; he didn't want to get involved in this conflict.
Seeing that Xingliu hadn't replied for a long time, Zhang Chulan on the other end of the conversation quickly continued:
"Sister Bao'er has something to say to you, please, sir, just do a good deed!"
Hearing this, Xingliu sighed softly.
He still quite liked Feng Baobao, but he felt a sense of guilt about dating her, which is why he hadn't pursued a deeper relationship with her before.
Furthermore, even if they go, they don't necessarily have to get involved in this matter.
If things go wrong, he can simply run away back to the Naruto world.
Without further hesitation, Xingliu instantly teleported to Longhu Mountain.
When he arrived, Longhu Mountain had already changed.
