Chapter 710

Xiao Er heard this, sparks flying in his eyes; his arm was about to thrust forward, but he forcibly held back, otherwise the old man's neck couldn't take it.

He coldly shouted: "Shut up! If you dare speak again, I'll rip off both your arms, leaving you unable to scratch the itch and forced to endure it!"

Lu Wu's hands, which had been scratching his arms and thighs, paused, and he shut his mouth.

Tuan Tuan looked puzzled: "Why do you always want my blood? You're human, not a Gu worm."

Lu Wu: "……"

I can't say that; if I said it was to deal with you draining my essence and blood, this big black guy Xiao Er would surely chop me up right away.

Xiao Ningyuan looked at him displeased: "We don't have time to waste on you, speak up! If you don't, we'll leave right away."

"I'll say, I'll say!" Lu Wu sighed helplessly, "The Shadow Blade numbers…… achoo! one hundred, all following that Supreme Venerable."

Xiao Ningyuan secretly thought, if what he said were true, the Shadow Blade in the Supreme Venerable's hands, then he wouldn't know where they went, but it's also possible.

But how could we know whether it was the Shadow Blade that raided the large army?

Got it! He stared intently at Lu Wu: "Besides being highly skilled in martial arts, what else can the Shadow Blade do?"

Lu Wu: "……"

This youngster is really hard to fool!

Seeing Xiao Ningyuan make a move to leave, he dared not conceal: "They can drill through three-zhang walls, hold their breath underwater for half an incense stick's time, and even set fire while in water, climbing as if on flat ground."

"Moreover, blades and spears cannot pierce them, achoo! Their eyesight and hearing far surpass ordinary people; one can match a thousand."

Xiao Ningyuan and Xiao Er exchanged a glance, both secretly shocked: they're actually that formidable!

Xiao Er asked: "Since they're that strong, can you hand over all the people? Not leave even one behind?"

Lu Wu: "……"

Are you all crafty humans?

Tuan Tuan pouted: "Why do you ask one thing and say another? Can't you just say it all at once? I'm sleepy; if you don't finish, I'll go back to sleep!"

"No, no, no, I'll say!" Lu Wu hurriedly said, "I kept some! Achoo! Actually the Shadow Blade totals two hundred; of those who came to Zhongyuan this time, there are one hundred three, and I, I left three behind!"

Xiao Er's gaze instantly turned wary: "Three? Where are they?"

Lu Qi grabbed Xiao Feifei's head and pressed it into his embrace, then lifted his head to look around.

Lu Wu grabbed a piece of paper to plug his nostrils: "Because I was poisoned by that poisonous woman Liu Guiyan, my head aches nonstop every day."

"She said the sachet holding the antidote was lost, the antidote needs to be remade, so I had them watch that couple."

"A sachet?" Tuan Tuan blinked, oh, that's the one I picked up from Cheng Jingwu's place!

Xiao Er and Xiao Ningyuan exchanged a glance; it turned out the sachet Tuan Tuan picked up actually contained Lu Wu's antidote!

Tuan Tuan stuck out his little tongue at them: "How would I know!"

Lu Qi grinned widely watching from the roof; the young lady's unintentional act actually caused them this big trouble—she had it coming!

Xiao Feifei poked her head out, then timidly bumped Lu Qi's chin.

Lu Qi hurriedly patted it: "Be good, we'll go back soon."

Xiao Ningyuan held back a smile and continued asking: "What's the relationship between that Top Exalted and Prince Chen and Prince Qing?"

Lu Wu shook his head: "I don't know, ah—choo! But his abilities are indeed formidable; a single word can command troops."

Xiao Er suddenly realized: "You say the Top Exalted forced you to come, but you're far away in Dongying; what could he use to coerce you?"

Lu Wu's heart tightened, sweat trickled down his back.

Tuan Tuan looked at him: "Hurry up and speak! My second uncle is asking you!"

As soon as Lu Wu sweated, his whole body itched more; he twisted, straining to reach his back and scratch nonstop: "He… ah—choo! At first he didn't force me; it was, it was an invitation."

Xiao Er's eyes turned cold: "What did he invite you to do?"

Lu Wu glanced at Xiao Er, whose martial skill he had witnessed; no matter what, he couldn't gain any advantage in his hands, so he might as well speak.

Anyway, it's the Top Exalted old man who wants to harm people, not me!

"He invited me to find out," he said, pointing at Tuan Tuan, "her secret."

Tuan Tuan blinked, pointing at her own little nose: "Me?"

Lu Wu nodded: "Yes, in Dongying I was originally a yin-yang master revered by ten thousand."

"If it weren't for that Top Exalted inviting me with a city of your Lie Kingdom, how would I have crossed the ocean to come here?"

A city!

Xiao Er snorted: "By what right does he give away our Lie Kingdom's territory!"

Xiao Ningyuan frowned tightly: "If so, why did you then hand over the Ying Blade?"

Lu Wu gave a bitter smile: "I exhausted all my arts, understood nothing, and instead ended up with a body full of ailments."

"The Top Exalted is petty and vindictive, thinking I'm useless, wanting to strike me; I had no choice but to hand over the Ying Blade."

"Everything I say is true; the harm is his doing, not mine! Ah—choo! Ah—choo! If you want to settle accounts, go find him!"

"All I want now is to cure my illness and hurry back to Dongying."

"Well said," Xiao Ningyuan snorted coldly, "you probably still want to take that city's wealth back with you."

Lu Wu didn't dare to answer.

Xiao Ningyuan sat down holding his sister, lowered his head in thought for a moment: "How often is the secret medicine of the Ying Blade taken?"

"Once a month."

"When is the next dose?"

Lu Wu calculated: "In ten more days."

Xiao Er understood instantly: "Hand over the secret medicine!"

"No! Impossible!" Lu Wu exclaimed in shock: "When it's time to take the medicine, if I can't produce it, the Top Exalted will surely kill me!"

Tuan Tuan tilted her head: "You don't want to go back? Give us the medicine, then you can just run off quickly."

Lu Wu shook his head: "My poison hasn't been cured yet; Liu Guiyan said the antidote will still need over two months to be made."

"What if the poison is cured?" Tuan Tuan's eyes shifted: "Will you go or not?"

Xiao Ningyuan looked at his sister, face full of doubt.

Tuan Tuan pointed outside, Xiao Ningyuan suddenly realized: "Right, Divine Doctor Mo!"

Tuan Tuan looked at Lu Wu: "My dad and the others are arriving soon; we're about to have a battle here!"

"If you don't leave now, once my dad arrives and catches you, you won't be able to leave!"

Xiao Er gave a cold snort: "If you fall into the Prince's hands, it'd be strange if they didn't hack you to pieces!"

Lu Wu's face turned pale instantly: "A battle? Are the people from Xibei coming?"

"Right!" Tuan Tuan beamed with pride: "My dad will surely win!"

"By then, we'll definitely capture all the bad guys! You too!"

Lu Wu's heart shuddered greatly.

He had been ill for a long time, never going out, and knew nothing about the outside world.

But his impression of the Xibei Daying was profound: strong troops, ample supplies, high morale; if such an army came to fight, it would surely be a great battle.

Unfamiliar with this place, where could he go to find refuge?

Probably Cheng Jing and the others will also run away; what am I still waiting for?

But...

He looked at Tuan Tuan, eyes brimming with tears: "I still haven't gotten your blood!"
