Chapter 140: You'd Better Not Touch My Person

Xiao Jiu: "Host, it seems a fight has broken out outside."

Su Mo frowned and remained silent, hearing what sounded like swords clashing.

However, the distance was a bit far, so it wasn't very clear.

Xiao Jiu's tone was excited: "Could it be that those few have come to kill?"

Su Mo couldn't help but frown; if they really couldn't find her, with their strength, retreating unharmed shouldn't be difficult, right?

At that moment, behind her room.

Cang Lan's whereabouts were exposed, and he was already fighting fiercely with those people!

As a sixth-level beastman, dealing with Jin Tong's subordinates was naturally no problem.

At this moment he resembled a hellish Asura, his golden beast eyes filled with bloodthirsty light.

The Gale Wind Claw was his killing move, utilizing tremendous explosive power and the unique claw advantage of leopard beastmen.

A precise strike hit the enemy's vital point, killing him instantly.

His speed was so fast the opponent couldn't react, like a fleeting afterimage; in an instant, a pile of bodies lay on the ground!

He hadn't even used ten percent of his strength, yet easily felled a whole group.

Bright blood dripped from Cang Lan's fingertips, his sharp gaze sweeping over the remaining people, his eyes showing a near-pathological indifference.

"I will take the Wife Master!"

"If you want to take her, talk about it after we reach the King of Hell's Hall!"

The next second, Cang Lan felt a fierce attack approaching.

He slightly frowned, shifted his body to precisely dodge the attack, and firmly caught the opponent's strike.

As Jin Tong's capable subordinate, Lin Shan's strength was naturally not weak.

His level was even one higher than Cang Lan's.

As Mo Xiao followed Cang Lan's markers, he saw that Cang Lan was already locked in fierce combat with Lin Shan.

Although Cang Lan's moves were fierce, his level was inferior to Lin Shan's, making it increasingly difficult for him to cope.

Seeing Lin Shan about to feint, Mo Xiao leapt to Cang Lan's side and deflected the three poison needles flying toward him.

In an instant, only a few afterimages remained in the air, and the three figures moved like lightning.

Mo Xiao and Cang Lan's moves were fierce and well-coordinated; Lin Shan was driven back repeatedly by Mo Xiao's palm wind.

A trace of blood trickled from his brow, he furrowed his brows and shouted to the surrounding subordinates: "Charge! Capture the Gate Master, generous reward! Life or death doesn't matter!"

Mo Xiao frowned and said to Cang Lan: "This place is not suitable for lingering; leave quickly!"

Cang Lan frowned, not yet having a chance to speak, when another crowd surged in from outside.

Among them were many high-level beastmen.

Jin Tong stood prominently in the crowd, only hearing his cold voice command: "Kill!"

In an instant, cold light flashed everywhere, the scene fell into chaos.

Cang Lan and Mo Xiao were outnumbered, the situation worsening.

Jin Tong merely stood nearby watching the battle the whole time, then gradually lost his patience, flashing into the battlefield like light and shadow. Each of his moves directly targeted Cang Lan and Mo Xiao's weaknesses, fierce and merciless, leaving no room to dodge!

Both Mo Xiao and Cang Lan clearly realized that continuing to fight like this would give them no advantage.

Seeing Jin Tong's fierce attack approach again, in desperation Cang Lan shoved Mo Xiao several zhang away, roaring: "Hurry and go!"

Mo Xiao's eyes darkened, then he swiftly leapt onto the mountain peak, vanishing into the night at light speed.

Outside the cave.

Fei Yan watched Mo Xiao return alone, the dark hem of his robe stained with obvious dark bloodstains, and his body bore several abrasions.

He frowned.

This situation might be more complicated than they had imagined.

Yue Ying also couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Now Cang Lan was also trapped in the mountains, which for Jin Tong meant an additional bargaining chip.

Fei Yan said solemnly: "Jiang Wu, who previously led people to attack the Tiger Clan, is also nearby, putting us at a disadvantage. The Third Young Master has returned to the Tiger Clan to borrow troops, and Ye Yuan has gone to the East Sea to gather forces."

"Let's temporarily hold this position, waiting for them to bring people and gather. The current situation is not suitable for rash action. Jin Tong is using the Wife Master as bait to lure us here, likely intending to capture us all in one net."

A glint of cold light appeared in Yue Ying's eyes: "If they want to fight, just say so; capturing my Wife Master is simply courting death!"

Mo Xiao glanced at the Snake Clan soldiers behind him.

He hadn't brought many people, because this place is close to the North Wing, and they needed to guard against enemy sneak attacks on the North Wing; tonight they needed to strengthen defenses.

In the silence, footsteps sounded behind him.

The three turned around and saw Long Yan, dust-covered and weary, hurrying over with a worried expression.

He had intended to ask Mo Xiao about the current situation, but upon seeing Mo Xiao's injuries, he dropped the topic.

"Snake Young Master, I have already mobilized the Dragon Clan's elite soldiers; I am now on my way back." Long Yan gazed at Mo Xiao with torch-like eyes, each word resonant and powerful: "Wherever you need me, just give the order!"

Mo Xiao frowned and nodded: "Good."

Yue Ying extremely disliked this shameless Dragon Clan Minor General, but now was not a good time to drive him away.

At this moment, Su Mo and Xiao Jiu lay at the window, listening for a while longer; after the fighting outside ceased, it seemed someone was mustering troops?

Hearing those footsteps outside, Su Mo judged that Jin Tong had left many people here.

But she was now being watched by Jin Tong like a guard against thieves, unable to leave, and for a time could not discern the situation inside.

【We still need to find a way out to scout the situation!】

【We can't let him keep us locked up like this; does he really think the young lady is someone easy to talk to?!】

At that moment, in Jin Tong's study, Jiang Wu was sitting there leisurely sipping tea.

Listening to Lin Shan report to them the outside situation.

Oh? So you're saying they went back to get reinforcements?

Lin Shan nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow at the silent Jin Tong: "The people from East Sea and North Wing are fine enough, but if you add the Dragon Clan and Tiger Clan, Gate Master, are you sure you can handle it?"

Jin Tong snorted coldly: "Isn't there still City Lord Jiang Wu?"

As the words fell, that red figure came lightly before him, gazing at him with seductive eyes.

"Beg me~ beg me well, and I'll consider how?"

Jiang Wu is naturally alluring; just her face can easily charm all beings, born with a heroine's face.

At this moment she deliberately seduces; even an ordinary person who doesn't surrender arms would at least have their heart swayed.

But Jin Tong's gaze remained icy, without a shred of warmth.

That indifferent demeanor instead made Jiang Wu look like a jumping clown.

She stirred the allure in her eyes, switching to a venomous expression.

"Lord, your heart of stone is just like that of an old acquaintance of mine."

She suddenly changed her demeanor; Jin Tong couldn't help but frown, giving her a faint look without asking further.

Jiang Wu curled her lips and lightly uttered two words: "Silver Velvet."

Jin Tong's expression unchanged, he asked: "Who is he?"

Jiang Wu chuckled lightly, then turned away gracefully: "Forget it, he's never been obedient; now grass three feet high grows on his grave. It's late, Gate Master Jin Tong, rest early—I'm heading back."

Although Jin Tong had disguised himself well just now, she still saw him clench his hand slightly.

No wonder she repeatedly lowered herself and tried every seduction, yet he remained unmoved.

Old acquaintance, since it's like this, it's even more interesting!

What Reincarnated Person, Transmigrator—she's seen plenty; in the end they're all just like this…

It's Jiang Wu who is the heroine; she is destined to become the ruler of this world!

A Ci came over and asked: "Wife Master, why didn't you have Jin Tong hand over Su Mo's Beast Husband to you?"

Jiang Wu said in an indifferent tone: "It doesn't matter; if he obeys, keep him useful; if not, let him die with them!"

"Have you gathered the troops you were told to mobilize?"

A Ci's face flashed a sinister smile: "City Lord, rest assured, I've always given my all to the tasks you assign."

Having said that, he reached out and hooked his arm around Jiang Wu's waist: "It's still early; let's go to my room first, we can talk slowly~"

The next second Jiang Wu hooked his collar, glanced at him, then pushed him away with a cold face: "I've promised Ruo Xu tonight, so line up obediently!"

Useless thing, after sleeping together so many times, still no Binding Contract.

Besides coming here to beg for upgrade pills, what else can you do?!

In Jin Tong's study, Lin Shan said solemnly: "Gate Master, Jiang Wu has gone to gather another batch of people; I think we should strike at Su Mo's fiancés tonight while we have the chance—once they rally their forces, it'll only be worse for us."

Jin Tong's brow twitched imperceptibly; he knew those few regarded Su Mo as life, but the Tiger and Dragon Clans would get involved, which was indeed somewhat unexpected.

A woman with no martial prowess, even deceitful, means they care about her this much—truly a bunch of good-for-nothings!

Lin Shan continued: "What I fear most is that we fight those few to the death, and Jiang Wu sneaks in a stab when they're off guard, ending up reaping the benefits."

Jin Tong frowned; given Jiang Wu's nature, that's surely her plan.

"First, keep them stable for seven days."

He is currently detoxifying; during these seven days he cannot arbitrarily use his internal energy.

The next day, Su Mo early in the morning began patting them and shouting.

"Summon your Gate Master; I have something to discuss with him."

Jin Tong came over; it was already half an hour later.

The door opened; his gaze, deep as an ancient well, fell on the person before him.

"What's the fuss? If you want to die, just say so!"

Su Mo raised her eyebrows: "The herbs you found are wrong; I'll go find them myself!"

"Don't try any tricks; if you need something, have someone bring it in."

Su Mo sneered: "That's all the courage you have? On your own turf, you're still afraid I'll cause trouble? If so, I advise you not to take my medicine!"

Jin Tong narrowed his eyes: "Do you think the goading tactic works on me?"

"Maybe not, but I just want you to know that cooperation requires a cooperative attitude—I'm not your caged bird."

"Some things you already know; since you've stopped taking Jiang Wu's medicine, you should understand that yesterday's medicine only suppressed it—if today you don't have a stronger medicine to suppress it, the toxin will immediately backlash. By then don't—"

Before Su Mo could finish, he seized her throat: "I'll kill you right now!"

Su Mo's face flushed red: "You know in your heart that detoxification proceeds like this; these seven days are crucial—if you can't hold steady, it's also a dead end! So Gate Master, you're reluctant to kill me; your threat is useless here."

Jin Tong's hand gripping her neck tightened uncontrollably, but in the end he merely threw her to the ground.

He coldly told those outside: "Follow her step by step; if anything goes wrong, watch your heads!"

Su Mo rose from the ground and called out to those about to leave: "Who came last night?"

She needed to first confirm those few were safe.

Jin Tong's heavy gaze fell on her face, as if trying to see something.

But he had no intention of answering her question.

Su Mo stared coldly at him: "My people, you'd better not move; I always repay grudges."

A flash of cold light passed in Jin Tong's eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

"It's a threat and also a warning. But, Lord, you'd best heed my words!"
