The Sea Dragon King reigned supreme above the sea, and there were countless precious items. He knew that although the fleece-flower root was not something that could be obtained easily, it was not worth fighting over it. Moreover, it was still unknown who would obtain it. Even if he obtained it, he knew that Ji Wuji was a person of life and death judgment. He would never let go of it so easily, so why would he get himself into trouble? Therefore, he gave up after thinking about it.
Xu Zhutao sized up the beggar leader. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary beggar, except that his eyes were full of light. Although his clothes were full of holes and holes, they were very clean. What was especially eye-catching was that his hands were like white jade, and he wore a strange ring on his right middle finger.
The sun was still blazing, and the light from the sun was enough to cause sweat to appear on everyone's foreheads. The eight disciples who came with Mister Leng had all walked away and sat on the ground in the circle without saying a word.
Mister Leng said with a smile," Since someone is willing to part with it, that's the best. It's getting late now. I think we should each take a box first. Let's see who is lucky enough to get this thing."”
"I have the same idea," said Ji Wu."It's best to end it early.”As he spoke, he casually picked up a box.
The group of heroes also dismounted and each took a box.
The one Ji Wu had picked up was tied with a purple ribbon, the one Great Master Leng had chosen was blue, the one Lao Shan's Twin Cranes had taken was yellow and red, the one Life and Death Judge had taken was white, and the one with the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was brown. The one with the black ribbon was taken by Dhuta Sun-Moon.
Xu Zhutao said to Dhuta Sun-moon," The box that you have taken is the real treasure box. Let's cut the crap. If you can defeat me, this box should belong to you. Otherwise, please return the box. Please, please."”After saying that, he stared at Dhuta Sun-moon with all his attention.
There was another commotion in the arena. Those who did not get anything immediately revealed disappointed expressions, but Ji Wuji's expression did not change, as if he did not care about the gains and losses.
This sudden surprise stunned Dhuta Sun Moon for a long time before he laughed wildly and said,"My monk is really blessed by Buddha, but he just had to obtain a treasure. Alright, alright, little brother, I'll accompany you for a few moves and make you speechless.”After saying that, he laughed non-stop and was extremely proud.
Xu Zhutao was still standing there, alert. Dhuta Sun-moon tightened his loose kasaya and walked toward him."I'll play with you empty-handed."
Before he could finish, Xu Zhutao activated the Bright Jade Mantra and a thin layer of mist appeared on his hands. Without any technique or stance, he struck his palm diagonally. The position of his palm strike was very tricky." This kid took all the responsibility on himself. I thought he had some skills, but he's such a loose fellow..." Before he could finish his thoughts, he felt Xu Zhutao's right palm suddenly stop and skillfully pass through his elbow. He turned his palm into a fist and hit his right flank. Suddenly, a sharp cold air drilled into his chest. He trembled twice and sat directly on the ground.
"Thank you," Xu Zhutao said with a smile. He intentionally struck down one person first to intimidate everyone present.
Mister Leng immediately drank well and said,""Although I, an old beggar, did not have the fortune to obtain this treasure today, I have a good eye for it. Seeing such a rising star in the martial arts world, it's true that there are talented people in every generation.”After saying that, he laughed out loud and said to the disciples sitting there,"Little beggar, the show is over. Why are you still sitting there? Aren't you going to stand up and walk?”
Xu Zhutao was extremely happy. He quickly smiled and said,"Thank you, thank you. Seniors, please be magnanimous. Today, please let us go.”
Ji Wu laughed and said," Slow down, slow down. What this brother said just now is indeed very reasonable, but it doesn't say that others are not allowed to snatch it from your hands. Besides, you only defeated Sun Moon Dhuta, and it has nothing to do with us. If you can defeat all of us, we will have nothing to say. Everyone, see if what I said makes sense.”
Xu Zhutao was furious when he heard that. Then, he thought of the man's lecherous look when he looked at Zhao Yu's eyebrows. He said coldly,"Bring it on, I want to fight to the death with you!”As he spoke, he secretly circulated his internal energy. His eyes shone with a cold light, and his body emitted an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura, as if he was about to explode and kill at any moment.
Everyone was stunned by his words, thinking that although this young man had defeated Dhuta Sun-moon in a single move, he might not be able to defeat Ji Wu. Dhuta Sun-moon's martial arts were far inferior to Ji Wu's. However, when they saw Xu Zhutao's sharp and cold gaze, they were stunned and did not dare to act rashly.
However, there was a peal of laughter from the top of the tree. Then, a clear girl's accent said,"Brother Bai, don't you think these people are ridiculous? They're already so old, but they're still so stupid.”
Another child's voice laughed and said,"Yes, for a few empty boxes, they actually fought to the death and refused to let go.”After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.
Everyone was stunned when they heard that. He suddenly reached into his dart bag and took out two non-poisonous hidden weapons, the Flying Locust Stone, and threw them at the tree that made the sound.
However, after the stone was thrown out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reaction. The girl with the light and crisp voice said,"Aiyo, these people don't know a good person. We came to tell them that the box was empty, but they hit us with stones.”
The boy continued," Yes, if they don't politely invite us down, we might as well leave. It's none of our business if they break their heads.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically, knowing that there must be something behind this.
Master Leng said," Which hero are you? Why are you hiding in the tree? If you have anything to say, please come down and tell me. Otherwise, I, an old beggar, will personally go up the tree to invite you."”
The girl giggled again."No wonder Master said that this old beggar is the hardest to provoke. If we have to blame him, Master won't care if he beats us. I think we should go down.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes blurred. Two children, one in black and one in white, appeared in front of them. The one in white was a girl, and the one in black was a boy. Both of them looked very cute.
The crowd saw that these two children were at most twelve or thirteen years old, but their movement techniques were extremely fast. They knew that they must have a great background. Although everyone was knowledgeable, they did not know where these two children came from.
As soon as the two children landed, they cupped their fists and bowed to Xu Zhutao."Bai Jingxiang and Ye Qingqing, the subordinates of the Five Saint Cult Master, have come to pay their respects to Young Master Xu by the Cult Master's decree!”Then, he bowed to Zhao Yu and said,"Greetings, Lady Zhao."
The little boy in black was Bai Jingxiang. After he finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and said,"Greetings, Seniors."
The girl in white, Ye Qingqing, said,""Cult Master was very angry when he found out that Young Master Xu was fooled by others. He specially ordered the two of us to expose this matter. Everyone can open the box and see if there is a human-shaped fleeceflower root inside.”
Xu Zhutao was both angry and regretful. He stepped forward and twisted the lock of the small mahogany box with a black ribbon. It was indeed empty. He was so angry that he kicked the empty box forward. Everyone saw that it was indeed an empty box. Xu Zhutao said to the heroes," This time, I really don't know what Chief Escort Wu is planning. That's why I ruined your mood. I hope you can forgive me."”
Ye Qingqing said coquettishly," Young Master Xu, Escort Leader Peng, the Cult Master said that Wu Zhaoyun, the Silk Needle, used a trick to escape after your escort team set off. He personally brought the real human-shaped Fleeceflower Flower to the Mysterious Heaven Castle. Moreover, the Cult Master investigated and found out that the human-shaped Fleeceflower Flower was sent by Zhu Chenhao, the Ning Prince of Jiangxi Province. Zhu Chenhao's actions were to recruit the Mysterious Heaven Castle Master. Young Master, you must be more careful if you meet the people of the Ning Imperial Residence in the future.
After hearing this, everyone began to scold Wu Zhaoyun. After a long while, Master Leng was the first to say,"The matter here has come to an end. We'll take our leave first.”With that, he led his disciples through the forest. The group of heroes cupped their hands and dispersed. The injured Dhuta Sun-Moon was also carried away by Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's subordinates. Bai Jingxiang and Ye Qingqing also left.
Seven finely crafted mahogany boxes were scattered on the ground. The escorts finally calmed down and relaxed. Xu Zhutao was extremely upset. He had heard from Ji Wu that the Chen family and the two Cheng family had a feud with Wu Zhaoyun. If his martial arts were slightly weaker, he would have died here today. He did not expect that the friendship he had paid would be wasted on a person who deliberately used him. This was the saddest thing for him.
Peng Zhengyi felt even more upset, and on top of that, he felt ashamed. He had worked with Wu Zhaoyun for many years, but this time, he had betrayed him as well. He was ashamed that Xu Zhutao, who had befriended him, had been used by Wu Zhaoyun. He felt uneasy, and the many escorts of Wuwei Bodyguard Agency would also lose their morale because of this. They would never be able to raise their heads again. Their future was unimaginable.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He said to Xu Zhutao,"I didn't expect things to develop to this point. I never thought that the Head Escort would be like this again. Anyway, time will tell, and we will understand each other one day. My brother is young and handsome, and he will definitely become great in the future. After I returned to Jiangling with the escort team, I decided to reflect on my mistakes and practice martial arts again.”
As he spoke, his heart ached. Peng Zhengyi left two horses for Xu Zhutao and gave him three hundred taels of silver. He also repeatedly reminded Xu Zhutao of many taboos and customs in the martial world. Only then did they say goodbye to each other and return to Jiangling with the escort carriage.
At this time, only Xu Zhutao and Zhao Yumei were left. Zhao Yumei saw that Xu Zhutao was upset and teased,"That little demoness is really good to you!”
Xu Zhutao didn't ask the two boys who their Sect Leader was, but he knew that the witch Zhao Yumei was talking about was Kuang Zhenzhen. He then realized that Kuang Zhenzhen was the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect. No wonder she said that Elder Mu would never dare to take revenge on him."Oh, so that Kuang Zhenzhen is actually the Sect Master of the Five Poison Sect. In the past, I only knew that there was a Five Poison Sect in the martial world, but I didn't know who the Sect Master was.”
Zhao Yu frowned and said," The people of the Five Poison Sect are all used to poisonous creatures, from top to bottom. They even raise many poisonous creatures in their sect, such as poisonous toads, poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, poisonous scorpions, and poisonous snakes. I heard that the people of the Five Poison Sect worship these poisonous creatures very much. The people of the Five Poison Sect call themselves the Holy Church, which is why they are called the Five Saints. There were left and right elders below the cult master, and there were five emissaries below the elders: Jade Toad Envoy, Heavenly Jewel Envoy, Wind Centipede Envoy, Saint Scorpion Envoy, and Spirit Snake Envoy. The one who had ambushed Qian 'er at the Burial Sword Lake was the left elder, Mu Shang. You know nothing about many small sects and forces in Jianghu, so your master wanted you to go down the mountain to broaden your horizons. Unexpectedly, that demoness fell in love with you at first sight. That witch's nickname is Peacock Concubine. Legend has it that she's as beautiful as a flower. Not only is her martial arts extremely high, but her poison methods are also unpredictable. She's also ruthless when she kills people. She's a viper. You have to be careful in the future.”
"I'll be careful." Xu Zhutao nodded. So, where should we go next?”
Zhao Yu pinched his nose and said,"Naturally, we're going to Mobei. Sunset Horse Farm is also in Shaanxi, so this trip wasn't in vain.”
"Alas, my first bodyguard ended up like this." Xu Zhutao asked.”
"Your bodyguard this time is quite impressive. He's courageous and resourceful." Zhao Yu smiled. Even if my sister is here, I can't find anything wrong with you.”
