Chapter 60: Both of them smiled happily

Let's say that after Xiao Yu pushed open the wooden door and left the wine cellar to enter the vast thick fog, Guan Zhong gradually regained his composure and hesitated, "Old Master, it's chaotic outside now; even if we find the Red Smoke Colt, we can't get out!"

"Take it one step at a time; with the Red Smoke Colt by our side, once an opportunity appears, we can instantly escape the cage, and even a Human Immortal will find it hard to catch up.

In any case, I cannot sit and wait for death.

This rotten wine cellar will never become the burial place of Guan Huchen!"

Huchen closed his eyes again, using all his mind to protect the last wisp of living energy in his heart.

Guan Zhong was silent for a while, then whispered, "Since Old Master is so severely injured, yet has such ambition and the fighting spirit to fight to the death, why not carry the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill on your person?"

Huchen said weakly, "If we don't use the Bone-Changing Pill, can those bastards let us out? Anyway, it's not a waste for Yu'er to eat it; the more brilliant she is, the greater the chance of entering the Human Emperor's sight.

Just as Yu'er said when she advised me to give up the Bone-Changing Pill that day, once her great future in Xianyang becomes reality, what kind of divine medicine or treasure pill will 'Father-in-law Guan' not be able to enjoy?"

Speaking of this, he even smiled proudly.

Guan Zhong was stunned and said, "You don't know? The Human Emperor is dead, and we have no way to send Miss Yu into Xianyang."

He only reacted after he finished speaking; before Lei Yuanzi cheered "The Human Emperor is dead," Huchen had already fallen into a near-death coma.

Earlier, Li Shangfu had cut a layer of skin off his neck with a blade, forcing him to wake up, and he had just woken up.

"What?" Huchen sat up in shock from his dying illness, his eyes red, and shouted sharply, "The Human Emperor is dead? How could he die, when did—Puchi~~~"

Before he could finish speaking, his wounds burst, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, losing his last breath.

"Old Master, Old Master, don't die, sob sob sob!" Guan Zhong was stunned for a moment, threw himself on Huchen's body and cried loudly, while crying, he slapped his own already bruised face, "Old Master, this old slave deserves to die, this old slave has a cheap mouth, this old slave harmed you..."

"Guan Huchen actually persisted until now to die; I thought he had died through long ago."

A cold, surprised voice appeared abruptly behind Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong, however, was immersed in endless sorrow and self-blame and could not extricate himself, still crying and wailing, without even turning his head to look.

The Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan also just sighed because of surprise, not really caring about Huchen's life or death.

He scanned the corpses lying horizontally and vertically on the wine cellar floor with sharp eyes, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

A total of eight people, all wearing iron armor, and they were the top-notch armored elites among the Luye Guards...

Even if he suddenly encountered them without deploying the Flag Gate Escape, he would have spent some effort.

After all, breaking armor is too difficult and too laborious.

But now they were all killed with one sword, and the fatal wounds were all on their necks and faces exposed outside... actually, there were also iron plates protecting the back and sides of their necks.

"It's simply like acting in a play..." Kong Zan muttered.

Through the wounds and the positions of the corpses, the Hunting Flag Immortal roughly reconstructed the battle process.

To evaluate it in one word: fake!

In three words: too fake.

It was as if they were acting in a play in coordination with the swordsman; everyone attacked the swordsman, the moves were unusually fierce, but all kinds of moves had only one purpose: to directly send the vital parts not covered by iron armor to the opponent's blade, letting the swordsman poke at will.

But even thinking with one's butt, one would understand that no one would use their own life to accompany others in acting, and still act themselves into a clumsy clown.

Then, to describe it in one word: divine!

In three words: it is a god among swords!

"Where is the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill?"

Kong Zan actually noticed the small porcelain bottle placed beside Huchen when observing the dead bodies.

The porcelain bottle was empty.

"Of course it was eaten by the Old Master; we are not fools, knowing that someone wants to snatch the divine pill, yet hiding it, waiting for stronger people to come to the door? Sob sob sob, Old Master..."

Guan Zhong still didn't turn his head, still lying on Huchen's corpse crying and wailing.

"Lying! Guan Huchen is dead, how could he eat the Bone-Changing Pill?" Kong Zan said coldly.

"If he hadn't taken the Bone-Changing Pill, how could he have died from blood explosion, sob sob sob..."

Not to mention, Guan Huchen spitting blood from his mouth, his wounds bursting and staining his cloak, and finally staring with wide eyes and dying with unclosed eyes, really looked like he was severely injured but had taken a tiger-wolf medicine that burned his bloodline.

Kong Zan's heart was a bit chaotic, "Damn it, how could Guan Huchen be so stupid? With such heavy injuries, being able to hang on by a breath was already a blessing; how dare he take the Bone-Changing Pill at such a time? Is he tired of living?"

"Hehe, you were deceived; this old slave is very loyal and also very cunning!"

"Wave Moon Scatterer" Zhou Lang walked over slowly and sneered, "The Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill has the divine effect of seizing the creation of heaven and earth because the materials used to refine it are all essences of heaven and earth.

Before the pill is opened, the essence of the Bone-Changing Pill is restrained, and the appearance is plain and unremarkable, with no scent leaking out.

But if the essence of the spiritual medicine cannot be digested and absorbed, a large amount of herbal essence will immediately leak out, and the entire wine cellar will be full of fragrance, making one intoxicated upon smelling it.

How could it be like now, with only the smell of blood and not a trace of medicinal fragrance?"

Kong Zan nodded suddenly, "That's right, if Guan Huchen had no other choice, perhaps he would have been forced to fight for his life with his own life, but he didn't have to—"

—Because there was still a "god among swords" at the scene!

Before he could finish speaking, his figure retreated rapidly, exiting the wine cellar door and disappearing into the thick fog.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Lang cursed, his indifference replaced by anxiety for the most part, and he also hurriedly followed behind.

At this time, Guan Zhong finally turned his head and even stood up, staggering toward the cave entrance, shouting anxiously, "You come back, the divine pill was really eaten, it's useless, the divine pill is gone, it's gone~~~"

The world was quiet, except for his own gasping and sobbing, there was no other sound.

"Aiya~~~"

Xiao Yu, who was following Duan Yuhan walking the "ghost Dao," suddenly stopped and shouted.

"What happened?" The old ghost Duan turned his head and asked with concern.

Xiao Yu squeezed two tears from her eyes and choked, "My foster father... is gone."

Duan Yuhan said strangely, "Although General Guan was severely injured, he was fine just now and seemed to be able to persist for a long time; why is he suddenly gone? And, he is far away in the wine cellar, how do you know he is gone?"

Xiao Yu wiped her tears while saying in a nasal, tearful voice, "Perhaps it is the bloodline connection between father and daughter, and the spiritual induction; as soon as foster father died, my heart immediately felt as if a large piece had been dug out, becoming empty and having nowhere to land."

—The newly upgraded Great Father-Destroyer is deducing the "Method to Destroy the Immortal Eye Tiger" at a very fast speed, but suddenly stopped, and the Huchen figure outlined by dashed lines in the Purple Mansion disappeared.

Although it was the first time she had experienced this situation, she didn't need to rack her brain to guess the reason: Huchen had departed!

Even though Duan Yuhan is an elegant and gentle old ghost, his ghost face twisted at this moment: That is your foster father! You are a barbarian, he is a Shu person, how can your bloodlines be connected?

However, he did not suspect Xiao Yu of acting; bloodlines might not be connected, but father and daughter sharing the same heart and having spiritual induction is too normal. After all, the Guan family's father-loving and daughter-filial relationship has deep emotional bonds.

Well, this is a case of the benevolent seeing benevolence and the wise seeing wisdom.

Duan Yuhan himself is a filial son and also a loving father.

When his old father passed away, he also felt a pain in his heart.

So he truly believed in the set of father-loving and daughter-filial, and heaven-human induction.

"What should we do now? Should we still approach the military camp and call for General Guan's Thousand-Mile Divine Horse?" Duan Yuhan asked.

Xiao Yu wiped away her tears and also wiped away the sorrow on her face—sigh, acting in front of an honest person is quite tiring; the body is tired, and the conscience is also tired.

"Even if foster father is dead, Xiao Yu must complete his last wish—send his remains back to his hometown as soon as possible, so that his heroic spirit can rest in peace."

At this moment, her tone was resolute, her watery big eyes were full of determination, and her face was full of fearlessness.

Duan Yuhan was deeply moved, his expression also resolute, his tone decisive, saying, "Good, Miss Yu has such filial piety; if Heaven has feelings, Heaven will surely protect her; Duan will definitely not refuse even if he dies, and will help with all his strength—eh~~"

Duan Yuhan poked his head out and looked carefully behind Xiao Yu again, nervously saying, "Miss Yu, hurry, someone is coming this way."

Xiao Yu turned back to look, but saw nothing.

But she trusted Old Duan and immediately stepped forward to follow closely behind.

After walking two steps, she suddenly stopped and said, "Duan Laoshu Duan, who is coming, do you recognize him?"

"Can't see clearly, only feel that he is tall and has a terrifying aura, making even ghosts feel terrified."

Duan Yuhan, an "old ghost turning his head," let out another exclamation, saying, "He actually hasn't lost us and is still behind us. Miss Yu, don't stop, hurry!"

—Sigh, can't run away; the one coming is eight-tenths likely the Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan himself!

Xiao Yu sighed in her heart.

She had understood earlier that Li Qing and Wang Bao could pass through the thick fog and enter the wine cellar earlier than her, which was definitely not by luck.

Either the person behind them had great divine powers and predicted it before the Flag Gate Escape formation opened, and also prepared a "trump card" for them to deal with the Flag Gate Escape.

Or the Hunting Flag Immortal noticed the abnormality of Li Qing and Wang Bao's group and deliberately let them go find Guan Huchen.

After Li Qing and Wang Bao obtained the Bone-Changing Pill, he then used the invisible blade that had previously ambushed her to cleanly behead Li Qing and Wang Bao... Even more, the Hunting Flag Immortal slightly manipulated the space around Li Qing and Wang Bao, letting them deliver the divine pill to him themselves.

Xiao Yu guessed the latter possibility was the greatest.

The person behind Li Qing and Wang Bao was a big shot in the Fire Crow Army; he might have guessed that the Hunting Flag Immortal was also ambushing nearby after Lei Yuanzi appeared, but he would absolutely not let Wang Bao and Li Qing out.

Because the Flag Gate Escape not only causes spatial and directional chaos, but also has invisible blades falling.

So what if they found the direction? If they hadn't followed Duan Laoshu Duan into the ghost Dao in time, even Xiao Yu might have been killed by the endless invisible blades; how could Wang Bao and Li Qing, that group of "cannon fodder," dodge the invisible blades?

Since it was the Hunting Flag Immortal guiding the situation, using Wang Bao and Li Qing to get the divine pill, after she killed Li Shangxian and the others, could he still sit on the fishing platform?

He came, personally found his way over.

He found his way over, she had long expected it, but she still had doubts: could it be that he didn't know the divine pill had already been eaten by her?

"It's foster father!"

Numerous distracting thoughts bloomed like fireworks in an instant; Xiao Yu immediately revealed an expectant and excited expression and turned back to walk back.

"Hey, Miss Yu, what are you doing?" Duan Yuhan panicked, "Don't go over, the evildoer is over there!"

"That's not an evildoer, that's my foster father."

"Miss Yu, have you lost your mind? Not to mention that General Guan is dead, as you had long sensed.

Even if he were still alive, how could he move as fast as flying with his injuries?" Duan Yuhan called out anxiously.

"Foster father is dead, but his heroic soul remains! Just like Duan Laoshu Duan, foster father's soul has come to find Xiao Yu."

Explaining in a low and fast voice, Xiao Yu opened her throat and shouted, "Father, Father, Father, is it you?"

"Who else could it be but me." The Hunting Flag Immortal Kong Zan smiled.

Xiao Yu also smiled, in her heart. ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
