Chapter 521
Fenghuang replied, then prepared to go fetch the medicine.
"Fenghuang! Don't fall for it…"
Cha Mulong immediately jumped out,
"In the middle of the night like this…"
"You know it's the middle of the night too! Why not go drink your wine instead of meddling here?"
Fenghuang actually had a bellyful of complaints about Cha Mulong drowning his sorrows in wine.
She had only urged him a few times, but he wouldn't listen, so she could do nothing about it.
She broke free from Cha Mulong now, returned to her own tent, and took the medicine box.
Coming over here, just as she was about to hand the medicine box to the Shopkeeper, a thought struck her,
"In that case, I also know a bit of medicine. I could go treat your injuries."
"If I cure them, could you leave a bit more supplies behind?"
With every transaction, the various merchant caravans actually didn't put out much supplies.
Fenghuang's move was actually meant to use this as a pretext to demand more supplies, so they could get farther from the merchant caravan.
"Fenghuang… I'll go with you…"
Cha Mulong had been about to blame Fenghuang, but suddenly realized and understood her good intentions, and immediately spoke up.
"Good! Good! Good! The two of you being willing to come is the best possible thing."
The Shopkeeper and his assistant led the two of them to the camp of the Zhongxintang merchant caravan.
Sure enough, they saw a martial artist with half an arm cut clean off.
The remaining half was still oozing black, poisonous blood.
Seeing that someone really was injured, Cha Mulong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Right then, Fenghuang squatted down and began treating the man's wounds.
After fussing for roughly half a shichen, she finally managed to stop the man's bleeding.
The Shopkeeper immediately brought a cart of supplies, running over to thank the two of them profusely.
Cha Mulong pushed the cart, let Fenghuang sit on it, and pushed the woman he loved toward where their clansfolk were.
The two of them were also quite happy, and couldn't help but start singing mountain songs.
When they reached the place of residence, they found everything was still as usual.
Cha Mulong gave a self-mocking smile, feeling his own caution had been somewhat unnecessary.
Fenghuang then pushed this cart of supplies toward the warehouse.
Cha Mulong stayed near the entrance as before, finding a spot sheltered from the wind.
Today he was in a fairly good mood and didn't feel like drinking anymore.
After a while, Fenghuang's startled cry came over.
"Cha Mulong, Cha Mulong!"
Cha Mulong heard the sound and immediately snapped awake from his drowsiness.
His figure flashed, and he was already at Fenghuang's side.
Seeing Fenghuang's face full of anxiety, he asked in confusion,
"What's wrong?"
"I can't find Xue'er."
"I just asked the brothers on night watch, and they said Xue'er just left with someone from a merchant caravan."
Fenghuang said hurriedly.
Cha Muxue was the only son of Cha Mulong and Fenghuang, and was Fenghuang's most beloved.
"Don't panic. Which caravan did she leave with? Why did she go?"
Although Cha Mulong was also anxious in his heart, he still soothed Fenghuang.
He then took Fenghuang and came to the checkpoint to inquire.
The Chamu clansman on night watch replied,
"About a quarter of an hour after you and the Lady left, some people from merchant caravans came one after another."
"Some said people in the caravan were sick, some said the caravan was willing to add more supplies to sell to us."
"Xue'er happened to pass by, so she went back with those selling supplies."
"Which caravan was it?"
Cha Mulong vaguely sensed something was off.
How could multiple caravans have problems at the same time, and then come asking for help in batches?
"Seems like it was the Jinqianbang Gang's caravan."
"Haha! Cha Mulong, no need to guess—your son is right here."
Just then, a blaze of firelight flared up.
At some unknown moment, outside the checkpoint, a dense crowd of martial artists had already taken their stand.
Leading them were precisely Shangguan Yun and the other Paizhang Sect leaders of the Liudamen Sect.
Cha Mulong's only son, Cha Muxue, was being gripped tightly around the neck by the Jinqianbang Gang Gang Leader Lei Zhenzi.
"Ah! Xue'er…"
Fenghuang was greatly alarmed and immediately cried out Cha Muxue's name.
"You are Shangguan Yun, the Hall Master of Zhongxintang?"
Although Cha Mulong was also worried about his son, the current situation was clearly disadvantageous to the Chamu clan.
As the clan head, he could only put the public before the private.
"Not bad!"
Shangguan Yun nodded.
"What do you want?"
Cha Mulong asked.
"We only need the blood of your clansmen, to open the Long Yin Grotto!"
Shangguan Yun said coldly and mercilessly.
343 — All together, kill Cha Mulong!
"Arrogance!"
Cha Mulong stared with cold eyes.
As the guardian clan of the Long Yin Grotto, the Cha Mu clan was extraordinarily gifted.
Not only could they gain the ability to communicate with animals from a young age, their physiques and talents were also astonishing.
Ordinary clansmen could all reach Grandmaster-level combat ability upon reaching adulthood.
Elite clansmen could even reach Great Grandmaster-level.
If they also cultivated some superior Wu Gong, reaching World-Class, or even the Earthly Immortal Realm, would be no difficult matter.
The Liudamen Sect like the Loyalty Hall and the Money Gang — nicely put, they're called the Liudamen Sect.
In reality, they're nothing more than a small alliance of forces in the western region of Yunzhou, barely clinging to life and huddling together for warmth.
Apart from the Loyalty Hall's hall master Shangguan Yun, whose Wu Gong was unfathomably deep, the other Wudazhang Sect were almost all at the Heavenly Being Realm,
or even the Earthly Immortal Realm!
A Liuda Sect like this, and they want to blood-sacrifice the Cha Mu clan, a force whose entire membership is at Grandmaster-level?
Dream on!
"I know the Cha Mu clan is extraordinarily gifted, and their overall strength is extraordinary."
"The clan head Cha Mulong is even more divinely powerful, having already reached the Supreme Mythical Realm."
"This intelligence should be correct, no?"
Shangguan Yun saw the contempt in Cha Mulong's eyes, and also saw many Cha Mu clansmen rushing over upon hearing the news.
An entire clan of several hundred people, all a Grandmaster-level lineup.
The faces of the Liuda Sect disciples, including the other Wudazhang Sect, all looked rather unpleasant.
"Since you know, then good! Shangguan Yun, release my son and leave your supplies behind."
"We can pretend this whole thing never happened."
