Du Chun, Nangong Li, Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, the Bai couple, and Nangong Mo, their legs were also entangled by countless green vines.
The incident happened very suddenly.
Before everyone could react.
These vines, as if sensing them, not only bound the feet of Nangong Mo and the others but also began to spread towards their bodies.
At this moment, Gu Qianying's feet were also entwined by vines with green leaves.
Even her Chi Blood Saber, which she was ready to wield, was ensnared by countless vines.
Here, Nangong Mo, in the first instance, held Xiao Yihao close. As he unleashed his spiritual power, his fingers became like blades, severing the vines, and he leaped into the air with Xiao Yihao.
"Ahhh, what is this thing, ahhh... Help!"
The green vines wrapped around Bai Yulan, making it difficult for her to breathe. She was terrified.
On Gu Qianying's side, she wanted to save Bai Yulan, but she too was entangled by the green vines, leaving her unable to attend to anything else.
On the other side, Nangong Li, seeing that countless green vines had completely wrapped around Bai Yulan, was extremely anxious.
Using his arm that was not yet entangled, he fiercely swung the folding fan in his hand.
The folding fan, equipped with a sleeve dart, spun in mid-air before flying towards Bai Yulan's head.
With a few swift cuts, Bai Yulan's breathing became much smoother, but she was still unable to move.
The severed green vines would regenerate.
At this moment, Gu Qianying was also completely covered by the green vines.
She closed her eyes and began to perform her clone technique. Soon, under her clone technique, a shadow of Gu Qianying emerged, drawing the Chi Blood Saber and slashing around Gu Qianying.
Above her head.
Nangong Mo, holding Xiao Yihao, stepped on the wind and landed in mid-air.
After placing Xiao Yihao on a relatively safe tree, he instructed him, "Hold on tight, don't fall. Daddy is going to save your mother."
Xiao Yihao was very well-behaved. He knew his mother was in danger and did not cry or fuss.
However, Nangong Mo was still worried about Xiao Yihao.
He handed a spiritual pill from his embrace to Xiao Yihao: "This can protect you. Keep it safe."
Xiao Yihao nodded, carefully hid the spiritual pill on his person, and hugged the tree tightly.
Seeing him like this, Nangong Mo was relieved.
He leaped down from the air, intending to use his spiritual power to save Gu Qianying first.
However... to his surprise... above everyone's heads, like a net from the heavens, countless green vines descended, completely enveloping Gu Qianying and the others, forming a celestial net.
"Damn it!"
Nangong Mo's eyes turned cold. He flicked his sleeve, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his palm.
But... after he severed countless green vines, they would regenerate, layer upon layer. Even if he cut through one layer, another lay beneath.
And at this moment, Gu Qianying and the others were still bound by the green vines.
Gu Qianying's situation was slightly better.
Her clone technique was used skillfully. Just as her clone was cutting through the vines around her, she used the brief moment before the vines regenerated to leap up.
She snatched the Chi Blood Saber from her clone's hand and wielded it with its full power.
"Bang!"
A powerful surge of spiritual energy exploded from the Chi Blood Saber. Around Du Chun and the others, it roared like a tempest, a great sound spreading around them.
At this moment, all the green vines binding Du Chun and the others began to recede.
Yes, they were indeed receding.
With lightning speed, the green leaves turned into withered leaves, and the green vines became dry, shriveled roots.
With this, Gu Qianying quickly pulled Bai Yulan up.
At the same time, she looked at everyone: "Are you all alright?"
Du Chun, Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, and Nangong Li all shook their heads.
"We are fine."
Nangong Li quickly looked at Bai Yulan. Seeing that she was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was safe.
Just now, it was truly dangerous. What were these things?
The incident happened too suddenly, and everyone was greatly startled.
Gu Qianying did not respond to everyone. She looked up at the sky.
Her husband had taken her son away, and she was very worried about both of them.
At the same time, Nangong Mo had also cut through layers of green vines and leaped down.
When he saw that everyone was safe, he remained silent and turned to the tree to retrieve Xiao Yihao.
Xiao Yihao returned to Gu Qianying's side, very happy.
He was held by Gu Qianying.
"Are you all alright?"
Nangong Mo glanced at everyone.
Du Chun and the others shook their heads.
Now, Nangong Mo was also relieved.
"Haven't you noticed that a few people are missing among us?"
Gu Qianying finally noticed something amiss.
Prompted by her, everyone quickly looked behind them.
Mother and Father, they were gone.
Bai Yulan exclaimed in surprise.
Only then did everyone realize that the Bai couple had indeed disappeared.
"The missing people also include Bai Xianhua."
Gu Qianying remembered one more person.
Everyone was shocked.
Nangong Mo frowned.
"Perhaps they got separated from us. Let's search around."
Gu Qianying, holding Xiao Yihao, suggested. She turned to leave with Du Chun and the others to search in different directions.
However, the moment she turned, Nangong Mo grabbed her: "No need to go. He took them."
His words left everyone somewhat bewildered.
Gu Qianying also frowned and looked at Nangong Mo.
Xiao Yihao was the first to speak: "Daddy, what are you talking about? Who left?"
Bai Yulan also asked: "Brother, what exactly are you saying? Who took Father and Mother away?"
Ever since she learned that her brother was Nangong Mo, the Lotus Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, and a "progenitor" of the Sheng Yu family, Bai Yulan had been very shocked.
She had also taken a long time to process such information.
At the same time, she had also seen her brother's original appearance.
He was even more handsome than the way she had seen him before.
Although she didn't quite understand why this was the case.
And she didn't understand what had happened to their Sheng Yu family over a thousand years ago.
But she knew and could feel that her brother and sister-in-law treated her very well.
Therefore, no matter what her brother and sister-in-law did, she would support them wholeheartedly.
Du Chun and Meng Qinghua exchanged glances.
Nangong Li was clueless.
Ouyang Qinglin looked at Gu Qianying.
Among them, Du Chun, Meng Qinghua, Ouyang Qinglin, and Gu Qianying seemed to understand the meaning behind Nangong Mo's words.
"It's Bai Xianhua, isn't it?"
Gu Qianying looked at Nangong Mo.
Everyone also looked at him.
Xiao Yihao's mouth widened.
Nangong Mo glanced at everyone and finally nodded: "Yes, it's him."
"He isn't your brother, is he?"
Gu Qianying remained suspicious of Bai Xianhua.
Nangong Mo nodded: "Yes."
"If that's the case, then why would he do this?"
Gu Qianying couldn't understand, and neither could the others.
Nangong Mo remained silent.
Gu Qianying then guessed: "Is there some discord between him and the Sheng Yu family? Or, do the people of the Bai clan have a grudge against him?"
