Chapter 189 Pavilion Master

The gorilla suddenly sprang into action, not even bothering to pat its aching back. Its two furry front legs swiftly snatched the bamboo pole from Murong Junlan's hand, and with a push of its hind legs, the small painted boat glided forward like an arrow, causing the white-haired woman who had just pounced to miss her target and fall into the water.

Just as the gorilla was about to catch its breath, Murong Junlan slapped its rear end hard again. Ouch, that was a really hard slap! The gorilla was about to glare at Murong when it looked up and saw that Murong Junlan's gaze wasn't on it, but rather on something anxiously ahead. The gorilla blinked. It seemed that Prince Murong wasn't teasing it, but was genuinely worried. So it swallowed all its pent-up resentment and focused intently on speeding up the boat.

Murong Junlan didn't bother with the white-haired woman behind him. He secretly gave the boat a boost every time the monkey cast its line, and the small painted boat sped forward.

Both the human and the monkey possessed exceptional martial arts skills. Together, they left the white-haired woman far behind in the small pleasure boat. This incredible scene greatly surprised the woman with the Twin Snow Swords and the fireballs in the water, and even gave the octopus that had just reached the shore a fright.

The octopus thought to itself, "Luckily they didn't chase after us directly, otherwise I wouldn't even have had time to hide." Protecting the little spirit Yan'er, whose acupoints had been sealed, the octopus hurried towards the Heavenly Lord's Pavilion in Lihentian.

The octopus of the Heavenly Lord's Pavilion in Lihentian had never been here. It was only responsible for security outside and was the supervisor of the fireballs outside. It had heard that there was a king inside the Heavenly Lord's Pavilion, but it had never seen him and was not qualified to see him. When the octopus was besieged by demonic beasts and was on its last breath, it was rescued by the Heavenly Lord of Lihentian who happened to pass by and brought it back here to heal. After recovering, to repay the Heavenly Lord's life-saving grace, the octopus asked the Lord to let it stay. After careful consideration, the Lord agreed and put the octopus in charge of security in the Xuanmo Cave. It did this for thousands of years. The octopus did its best and there were no major external enemies. For thousands of years, there was peace and tranquility. The Lord asked the octopus to claim that it was the cave master and not to disturb him unless necessary. Therefore, the outside world always thought that the octopus was the king here. The octopus had almost never seen the true face of this benefactor because the Lord always wore a mask when he appeared.

The Pavilion Master has been in seclusion for many years, and the Heavenly Pool of Separation and Sorrow is also the Pavilion Master's isolation from the outside world. It has never been opened before. Today, this group of people broke in. Besides being afraid of being punished, Octopus felt more guilty towards the Pavilion Master. Unfortunately, its power was insufficient, and it was far from being able to deal with these powerful uninvited guests. Fortunately, by chance, it picked up a treasure with spiritual energy. Although it was very reluctant, it had to respectfully present this treasure with spiritual energy to the Pavilion Master, hoping that the Pavilion Master would reduce the punishment.

Octopus, carrying the little spirit aura, arrived at the Pavilion of Parting Sorrows with trepidation. The fireballs on both sides were already solemn and imposing. The Pavilion Master sat upright in the main seat, his face obscured by a tiger and wolf mask, making it impossible to discern his likes or dislikes, but his imposing and domineering aura was undeniable. Octopus quickly removed the little spirit aura from its head and then performed a kowtow.

"Who is this?" The Pavilion Master frowned, his voice not harsh.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, this is a small amount of spiritual energy. She has a lot of spiritual energy on her." Octopus didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Mozi, is this why you brought them here?" The Pavilion Master always referred to the octopus as Mozi, regardless of whether it was an octopus or a cuttlefish. The Pavilion Master expressed his dissatisfaction in one sentence.

The octopus was so frightened that it kowtowed several times and hurriedly explained that they had broken in, but it found that the woman had too much spiritual energy and couldn't bear to throw her away, so it brought her back.

"Send her back and tell the people outside to leave." The Pavilion Master was always quiet; he had lived in seclusion for ten thousand years, moving to several different places just to avoid being disturbed. Today, Octopus, you failed to guard the gate properly, allowing someone to attack and break in, and you even brought a woman back with you. Ha, you've got some nerve. Suddenly, a chilling aura emanated from the usually composed Pavilion Master. This chill was palpable even from several meters away, making Octopus feel the cold.
