Chapter 923

At that time, wouldn't he be able to do nothing but be at their mercy?

Thinking of this, General Chilaowen's face turned ugly.

Suddenly, he hurled Yanagisawa Yukihime's corpse straight at Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya had originally seen that he had cleaved open General Chilaowen's arm, with fresh blood streaming down, and he too was somewhat inexplicably stunned.

Just as he was preparing to press the attack, he saw Yanagisawa Yukihime thrown over.

How could he be willing to keep attacking? He even abandoned his broken blade, using both hands to catch Yanagisawa Yukihime's corpse.

Taking advantage of this gap, General Chilaowen scrambled and crawled, finally managing to get away from Duan Tianya's side.

"Kid, what kind of sorcery did you actually use?"

That definitely wasn't Wu Gong; General Chilaowen couldn't figure out what it was, so he could only label it sorcery.

Even General Chilaowen didn't know, and Duan Tianya, the one involved, was even more in the dark.

After taking Yanagisawa Yukihime's corpse, his fighting spirit and killing intent vanished completely.

Stupefied, he held Yanagisawa Yukihime, laughing and crying at once.

Utterly as if he hadn't heard General Chilaowen's interrogation.

Seeing him like this, General Chilaowen also feared once again drawing out that aura on his body that could nearly kill him.

At this moment, how would he dare keep pressing for answers? He prepared to flee the place.

This time, to probe Great Ming's intentions, he had come to this strange place.

He had thought that as one of the Thirteen Wings, his strength might not be unrivaled under heaven, but it was rare in the world.

Who would have thought this strange place would be so terrifying?

Since Duan Tianya had temporarily lost the thought of pursuing him, General Chilaowen no longer cared about any face issues.

At once he prepared to channel his true essence to ride the air, find the way he came, and escape this place.

"You two remember, it is you who killed Yukihime.

One day, Duan Tianya will surely avenge this grudge."

Just then, Duan Tianya suddenly recovered and said this viciously to General Chilaowen and Ma Shou.

General Chilaowen feared that mysterious aura, and Ma Shou couldn't figure out what General Chilaowen was actually thinking.

Therefore, although these two were clearly stronger than Duan Tianya, they were bluffed into a daze by Duan Tianya playing the villain who cries victim first.

Both stood frozen on the spot, giving no response.

Only in their hearts were they probably both thinking, this Yanagisawa Yukihime—didn't you kill her yourself?

After Duan Tianya dropped this harsh line, he held Yanagisawa Yukihime's corpse and left, heartbroken beyond endurance.

When his figure and aura could no longer be sensed at all,

General Chilaowen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That mysterious aura was truly too terrifying.

He felt as if he had absolutely no power to fight back!

Fortunately, fortunately, this man seemed not to know the source of that aura either.

"Old gentleman, could you deal with the broken blade on your arm?"

Just as General Chilaowen was in his post-calamity relief, Ma Shou, who had previously fought him, now stepped forward and said solicitously.

"Hmph! None of your business."

General Chilaowen actually held no grudge against Ma Shou; attacking him earlier was merely because he coveted Yanagisawa Yukihime.

Just as he was preparing to go take the broken blade from his shoulder, he awkwardly discovered—

One of his hands was severed at the elbow, and the other hand happened to be the injured shoulder.

If he forced himself to take it, he could still take it.

Only the intense pain would be excruciatingly exquisite.

Ma Shou had long seen through the trick and didn't wait for General Chilaowen to say anything.

Moving with lightning speed, he took the broken blade from General Chilaowen's shoulder.

Then he struck again, swiftly sealing the vital acupoints near the shoulder to stop the bleeding for General Chilaowen.

"Old gentleman, may I ask where exactly you come from, who your master is, and who sent you to You Dongying?"

After Ma Shou finished all this, he once again respectfully inquired into General Chilaowen's background.

Hearing this, General Chilaowen couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed.

Could I possibly tell you that I was sent by Great Ming?

And why the hell should I answer your question?

He merely gave a cold snort, neither answering nor being too cold.

After all, no matter what, Ma Shou had indeed treated General Chilaowen's wounds.

"Old gentleman, if you won't say, I can actually guess one or two things."

Ma Shou suddenly smiled at this point and said,

"I suppose you were sent by Zhuge Shenhou, to supervise this old man, to see whether I keep my promise.

And you also feared that I might really kill Duan Tianya over Yanagisawa Yukihime, ruining Zhuge Shenhou's good business, right?"

Zhuge Shenhou?

What Zhuge Shenhou?

Seeing Ma Shou being so clever on his own, General Chilaowen was even less inclined to say anything more.

Ma Shou, however, felt he had guessed right and immediately explained,

"Please convey to Zhuge Shenhou, please rest assured, old gentleman!

"I was still counting on Zhuge Shenhou to ascend the great throne, and then help me unify You Dongying, replace the current shogunate, and become that Sei-i Taishōgun!"

"……"

Chilaowen watched Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou, who was suddenly flattering one moment and suddenly brimming with domineering aura the next.

He couldn't help but feel even more speechless.

This old man really doesn't know a damn thing!

What kind of bullshit shogunate, what kind of Sei-i Taishōgun — can they compare to my Great Yuan's Thirteen Wings, the Kesig Grand General?

"This time Duan Tianya has already, according to plan, completed his studies and returned.

Zhuge Shenhou's plan can finally begin."

Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou spoke again at this moment.

722 Look at your miserable ambition!

So Duan Tianya's every move this time was all part of the plan?

Only now did Chilaowen understand — everything today had been a setup?

Just what kind of setup this was.

For one, Chilaowen was a man of martial background, disdainful of such schemes and tricks, so naturally he couldn't see through it.

For another, what did any of this have to do with him?

Right now Chilaowen only wanted to leave this place and return to Great Ming — that would be best.

He didn't want to stay one extra moment in this godforsaken place.

He was just about to leave directly — after all, this Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou, he would never see again in this lifetime.

"Wait…"

Seeing Chilaowen say nothing and seeming about to turn and leave.

Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou couldn't help but get a little anxious — could it be that his behavior had still displeased this Mr. sent by the Shenhou Sect?

If this Mr. went back and put in a few bad words for him, not only would his dream of becoming Sei-i Taishōgun burst like a bubble.

Even the Liu Sheng family business passed down from his ancestors would be destroyed in a single morning, wouldn't it?

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou called out and stopped Chilaowen.

Chilaowen couldn't help but feel a bit impatient — you little punk, are you ever going to stop?

Where the hell does this old man find so much time to bullshit with you?

But coincidentally, Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou's next sentence made Chilaowen unable to take another step,

"To show the sincerity of my submission to Zhuge Shenhou, I have specially brought out a 'Tian Xiang Doukou' this time, as a token of my good faith."

Tian Xiang Doukou?
