"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Junior Leopard used his body movement and carried Ruan Xiuwen all the way. Along the way, Ruan Xiuwen kept mumbling, "Don't kill me, don't kill me" as if he was chanting a spell. He was afraid that if he stopped talking, he would lose his life.
"Don't shout anymore. If you shout again, I'll really kill you!" Junior Leopard had already landed from the roof and was shuttling through the back streets of Goldenrim Commandery.
The people in the commandery city had long been frightened by the dark cloud in Soaring Crane Restaurant. They had all closed their doors and windows. The originally bustling streets were empty, not to mention these back streets and alleys.
Ruan Xiuwen was frightened by Junior Leopard and immediately shut his mouth. He obediently allowed Junior Leopard to carry him.
"How far is the place you said?!"
"Not far, not far. It's just in front. Just turn a corner!" Ruan Xiuwen said anxiously.
"I hope you are not lying to me!" Junior Leopard sneered. According to the direction Ruan Xiuwen said, he turned into an alley and entered a small alley.
The alley was not long, about 30 to 40 feet. There were six small courtyards facing each other.
"It's there, the third one on the left. That's mine!" Ruan Xiuwen pointed at one of the courtyards.
Junior Leopard used his body movement and jumped into the small courtyard with Ruan Xiuwen in his arms.
"Ah!"
Just as he entered the courtyard, he heard a sharp scream.
The scream was sharp and piercing. Even with Junior Leopard's martial arts skills, he was shocked.
"Don't scream. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
Dressed in a black robe and wearing a strange smiley face mask, this outfit was extremely lethal, especially when he stared coldly at the person who screamed.
That person immediately shuddered and had goosebumps all over his body. He felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
There were two people standing in the courtyard. They were both young women. The older one was 17 or 18 years old and the younger one was 14 or 15 years old. Looking at their dressing, they seemed to be master and servant.
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was wearing a pink dress. She was very beautiful, and the younger one was also very delicate and pretty.
The one who screamed just now was the girl in pink. At this moment, she was covering her mouth and looking at Junior Leopard who suddenly turned over the wall in horror. The girl dressed as a maid stood in front of the girl in pink. Although her face was also full of horror, Junior Leopard still saw a trace of determination in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean to hurt you. This guy asked me to come!" Junior Leopard lifted Ruan Xiuwen up and let the master and servant see his face clearly.
"Ah, husband!" When she saw Ruan Xiuwen's face clearly, the girl in pink was even more terrified. She did not know where she got her courage from. "Who are you? Why do you want to capture my husband? Do you know who my husband is?!"
"So this is your outer residence. No wonder it was hidden so deeply!" Junior Leopard immediately understood. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to Young Master Ruan. Of course, the premise is that he is willing to cooperate!"
As he said, he carried Ruan Xiuwen and walked straight into the house, ignoring the master and servant.
The master and servant exchanged glances. Although they were terrified, they still suppressed their fear and followed Junior Leopard into the house. They even obediently closed the door behind them.
"Alright, help me find a quiet room. Also, bring me some food!" Junior Leopard ordered casually.
The girl in pink responded and let the maid prepare the food. She brought Junior Leopard straight in and walked into a room that was not very spacious.
"Hero, this room is the quietest one here!" The girl in pink bowed to Junior Leopard and said softly, "Hero, please be magnanimous and let go of my husband!"
"You can leave. There's nothing for you to do here!" Junior Leopard did not want to be entangled with her. He waved his sleeves. Suddenly, the girl in pink was pushed out of the room by a gentle force and the door was closed.
"Your mistress is not bad. She is very brave!" After closing the door, Junior Leopard threw Ruan Xiuwen on the ground and said half-jokingly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
This child was scared out of his wits and did not dare to answer Junior Leopard's words. This made Junior Leopard feel a little helpless.
"Young Master Ruan, you have to understand that I have no intention to be enemies with the Yuezhou Ruan Family!" Junior Leopard tried to make his tone as gentle as possible and said to Ruan Xiuwen.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ruan Xiuwen only nodded.
"But, if you continue to be like this and not cooperate, I will trample you to death!"
The topic of discussion changed and his voice suddenly became fierce.
"Yes, uh, yes!" Ruan Xiuwen suddenly quivered. He raised his head and looked at Junior Leopard timidly. "Do, do, do you have any orders?"
"This time, I came to Yuezhou to track a person. It has nothing to do with the Yuezhou Ruan Family. I did not expect that the moment I entered Goldenrim Commandery City, I found that the city was filled with strange poisonous gas and poisonous insects. I happened to have the Poison-absorbing Green Bead on me. That's why this happened!"
Junior Leopard originally wanted to say "Poison-absorbing Bead". But he changed his mind and thought of the old man's words. He temporarily changed it to Poison-absorbing Green Bead.
"I understand, I understand!" Junior Leopard's words made Ruan Xiuwen feel relieved. He also regained some of his courage. He was frightened just now. Now that he had regained some strength, his mind was much clearer.
From Junior Leopard's tone, he could tell that this person's cultivation was extremely high. But he had some scruples about the Ruan Family and did not want to form an unsolvable enmity. That was why he used such a gentle tone to talk to him. Of course, even though the other party's tone was gentle, it did not mean that he was safe. The other party might have scruples about the power of the Ruan Family. But obviously, he was not a person who was afraid of trouble. If he was really afraid of trouble, he would not have killed Gao Yulou. Now he had already determined that the strange man in black in front of him was the mysterious expert Xiao who disappeared after making a scene in Qinlingjun City.
So, he said carefully, "Of course, of course, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"It is a misunderstanding. But in this misunderstanding, I still have a few small questions. I hope you can answer honestly. If I am satisfied with your answers, I will let you go. If you want to play tricks …!"
"No, no, I won't play tricks. Definitely not. Please ask!" Ruan Xiuwen said hurriedly with a sincere look.
"Okay, let me ask you. What's the matter with the poisonous insects in the city? Have they always been there or have they just appeared recently? "
"This, this is raised by us!" Ruan Xiuwen did not dare to hide and said honestly, "It, it was Master who asked us to raise them!"
"Raise them?!" Junior Leopard was puzzled and said, "You raised so many poisonous insects in Goldenrim Commandery City?"
"This is the Invisible Gu, the saint insect of the Hundred Poisons Sect in Southern China!" Ruan Xiuwen said in detail, "The body of the Invisible Gu is very small, smaller than a speck of dust. Its toxicity is not high. So, it will not poison people to death if it is raised in Goldenrim Commandery City. In just ten days, the Invisible Gu can absorb enough blood essence!"
"Absorb enough blood essence?" Junior Leopard's eyes turned cold, "You let the Invisible Gu absorb blood essence?!"
"This won't hurt people!" Feeling the cold air emitting from Junior Leopard's body, he said, "The Invisible Gu won't hurt people at this stage. The poisonous gas is also restrained. Only when it absorbs enough essence and blood of people and fights with each other, can it become the real Invisible Gu King."
"That is to say, you use all the people in Goldenrim Commandery as nourishment to raise the Gu, right?!"
"Yes!" Ruan Xiuwen hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. Then, he continued, "The Gu poison of the Invisible Gu is harmless to humans at the start. No, it's beneficial. They absorb the filthy aura in the blood essence of the human body and integrate it into their own poison. Only when they absorb enough blood essence of the human body can their poison be transformed!"
"Then, it will fight with each other. The last one left will be the Invisible Gu King, right?!"
"Yes!"
"Aren't you afraid that others will find out?!"
"They won't find out. Although there are a lot of Invisible Gu, they are no different from dust. People with Internal Qi cultivation below Level Seven can't feel it at all. As for experts above Level Seven, they won't come to Goldenrim Commandery City during this time. Even if they come, there won't be too many. My Invisible Gu only need 10 days to absorb enough blood essence, so we don't have to worry!"
"People below Level Seven can't feel it?!" Junior Leopard's heart jumped. His cultivation had not reached Level Seven, but he could feel it before entering the city. Was it because of his strange eyes?
Throwing this thought to the back of his mind, Junior Leopard asked again, "Is the Invisible Gu King very powerful?!"
"The Invisible Gu is the saint insect of the Hundred Poison Sect in Southern China. It collects the toxins of countless Invisible Gu. Its toxicity is shockingly high. Experts below Level Seven will die once they touch it. Experts above Level Seven, even Level Eight experts, will die after they touch it. There is no antidote!"
"It's so powerful?!"
Junior Leopard didn't believe it. It was okay if it was below Level Seven, but the body strength of an expert above Level Seven could be said to have reached a terrifying level, not only in strength, but also in other aspects. Poison resistance was one of them. Once the cultivation reached Level Eight, it was even okay to eat poison as if it was rice. This Invisible Gu King could actually poison a Level Eight expert to death. Wasn't this a bit exaggerated?
"If it's really like what you said, this poison can kill a Level Eight expert, wouldn't the Hundred Poison Sect in Southern China be famous? Why haven't I heard of it before?!"
"Because although the Invisible Gu King is extremely poisonous, it is very difficult to cultivate. After the Invisible Gu King appears, it needs 50 years before it can lay an egg. And these eggs need at least 10 years to hatch. Moreover, during the Invisible Gu King's lifetime, no one of its kind is allowed to exist within a radius of a thousand miles. Hence, once the Invisible Gu King is born, there won't be another one for at least 60 years. Even if the eggs of the Invisible Gu King are hatched, they may not be able to survive. Even if they survive, not every Invisible Gu King can produce enough eggs. And if the number is not enough, it can't produce an Invisible Gu King, so …!" Speaking of this, a bitter smile flashed across Ruan Xiuwen's face. "There hasn't been an Invisible Gu King in the world for more than 500 years!"
"This time, you've picked up a treasure?!"
"No, you've picked up a treasure. You have the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, which absorbed all the toxins of the Invisible Gu. The toxicity it contains is only higher than the Invisible Gu King!"
"Poison-absorbing Green Bead?!" Junior Leopard smiled. "I just got it not long ago. Can you tell me about its function?!"
"Legend has it that the Poison-absorbing Green Bead is a strange object that can only be nurtured from the most poisonous evil beast in the world. Not only can it repel all kinds of poisons, but it can also absorb all kinds of poisons. With it, you don't need to be afraid of any poison. Once it is refined successfully, it will be the nemesis of all kinds of poisons in the world. Moreover, if this Poison-absorbing Green Bead can absorb enough toxins, then it can be refined into the Poison Cold Shield.
"Poison Cold Shield? What's that?!" Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows and asked.
Since things had come to this point, Ruan Xiuwen naturally told him everything he knew.
"The Poison Cold Shield is a magic weapon secretly passed down from the Hundred Poisons Sect in Southern China to protect oneself and attack the enemy. The Poison Cold Shield is a treasure refined by gathering thousands of highly poisonous substances and mixing them with the Evil Yin Qi. When it's not in use, it's like a colorful cloud. When it's released, it can cover a radius of more than a hundred feet. Those who are covered by this treasure will have their Qi and blood frozen immediately. After a short while, the bone marrow will be frozen and they will turn into clear water and die. "
Ruan Xiuwen said with a trace of envy in his eyes. "It's just that this treasure is extremely difficult to refine. It's even more difficult than cultivating the Invisible Gu King. This is because during the refining process, thousands of toxins need to be fused and a container that can hold thousands of toxins is needed. This point, even the poison men of the Hundred Poisons Sect in Southern China can't do it. However, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead can easily do it!"
There was actually such a good thing?!
Junior Leopard saw that Ruan Xiuwen didn't seem to be lying. He couldn't help but feel happy. Hearing what he said, once this Poison Cold Shield was refined, then his strength would go to a new level.
"Since this Poison Cold Shield is so powerful, then, even if it's refined, I have to be careful. Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if the poison backfired?!"
"Such a thing will never happen. All magic weapons have spirituality. Once the sacrificial refining is successful, the spirituality of the magic weapon and the spirituality of the Internal Qi will be integrated into one, and there will be no distinction between them. At the same time, it's impossible for such a thing to happen!"
Spirituality?
Junior Leopard nodded and understood what he meant. "Then, do you know the refining method of the Poison Cold Shield?!"
"Yes, yes!" Ruan Xiuwen quickly nodded and revealed a flattering smile. "Teacher told me the refining method of the Poison Cold Shield in detail. It's just that I haven't had the chance to practice. You have the Poison-absorbing Green Bead and absorbed so many toxins of the Invisible Gu. It's more than enough to refine the Poison Cold Shield!"
"Other than the Poison Cold Shield, what other special functions does the Poison-absorbing Green Bead have? Can it be used to refine an External Elixir?!"
"External Elixir?!"
Hearing these two words, the muscles on Ruan Xiuwen's face twitched subconsciously. "No, the Poison-absorbing Green Bead's main function is poison. It can't be used as a material to refine an External Elixir!"
Junior Leopard heard and felt a little disappointed. Then, he asked, "What about other functions?!"
"It can also convert all the toxins in the world into Green Spirit Vital Energy!"
"What's the use of Green Spirit Vital Energy?!"
"I don't know. Teacher didn't tell me in detail. I only know that if Teacher gets the Poison-absorbing Green Bead, he can advance to a higher level in 20 years and enter the realm of Level Eight!"
"Level Eight?!" Junior Leopard sneered. "Wait for your next life!"
Thinking of his Teacher's tragic death, Ruan Xiuwen couldn't help but shiver. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Junior Leopard again. At this time, there were two knocks on the door.
"Your Excellency, the food is ready. Do you want to bring it in?!" A soft voice sounded outside the door. Junior Leopard raised his hand and the door opened automatically. "Bring it in. Your husband and I are hungry too!"
"Yes!" The girl in pink said softly. Together with the maid, she walked in with the food.
At the same time, Goldenrim Commandery City had fallen into chaos. What happened at the Flying Crane Restaurant attracted the attention of all parties. However, due to the strong intervention of Ruan Xiuwen and Elder Yun at the beginning, the other influences in Goldenrim Commandery City could only watch from the side. Until Junior Leopard brought Ruan Xiuwen out and left far away, the people with the fastest reaction entered the Flying Crane Restaurant to take a look. At first glance, they were shocked.
Not to mention the room full of insect corpses, just looking at the corpses of the two Level Six experts and the thick pool of blood and flesh in the room, they were endlessly shocked, especially that pool of blood and flesh. Although there were no bones left, the clothes were not damaged. With a glance, those with discerning eyes could recognize that these were the clothes of the Yue Province's Governor Manor's Seventh Level expert, Elder Yun. When they connected this to the two figures that had rushed out of the Flying Crane Restaurant, the answer was obvious.
The mysterious black-robed man killed Elder Yun and the two Level Six experts of the Governor Manor, abducted Young Master Ruan and left.
No one knew what the purpose was, but the facts were out.
The news spread out at a very fast speed, and Yuezhou started to move.
Even though this fact was hard for the various forces in Yuezhou City to accept, and no one was willing to face a peerless powerhouse who had single-handedly killed a Level Seven powerhouse and two Level Six powerhouses, they couldn't just ignore it, right?
Whether they were willing or not, all the influences in Goldenrim Commandery City sent a large number of people to cooperate with the Garrison Manor and the Governor Manor, and started a net-like search in Goldenrim City. Although everyone knew that this was just a pretense, did they really expect these guys whose cultivation was only at Level Two or Three, who couldn't even be called experts, to keep an expert above Level Seven?
Of course, it was an expert above Level Seven. This was obvious. Otherwise, how could it be possible to kill a Level Seven expert and two Level Six experts in such a short time?
"It's really easy!"
While the whole city was in a state of tension, in a secret chamber in the Governor Mansion of Yuezhou, Golden Rooster Jin Yuquan was playing with a bead the size of a pigeon's egg, flashing a strange blue light, with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Although I don't know what that guy did, he did me a big favor!"
Forcing himself to calm down, he pulled his eyes away from the Blue Moon Bead and put the bead into a jade box that had already been prepared. Jin Yuquan gently exhaled and looked up at the guard of the Governor Manor who had fallen not far from him. He seemed to be somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't it said that there is a Level Seven expert in the Yuezhou Governor Manor? Why didn't I see him? Is he afraid of me? "
Taking advantage of the chaos in Goldenrim City, he smoothly sneaked into the Governor's Mansion. Without any trouble, he asked a servant about the courtyard where Ruan Ming, the governor, lived. At this time, Ruan Ming was busy in the Governor's Mansion. He was not willing to look for trouble, so he caught Ruan Ming's wife, found the entrance to the secret chamber from her, and killed some guards. At this time, all the powerful guards in the Governor's Mansion were taken away by Ruan Ming. It was the time when their strength was at its weakest. How could they resist Golden Rooster, who was like a wolf and a tiger? In a short time, he reached his goal. It was so easy that it was almost unimaginable.
With the Blue Moon Bead in hand, he was not willing to stay here and cause more trouble. He knocked out Madam Ruan and a group of servants and left the Governor Manor. At this time, the sky was already dark. Under the cover of the night, it was easy to leave Goldenrim City. On the other side, Junior Leopard also left the city. Coincidentally, the two sides met.
On a desolate slope 50 miles away from Goldenrim Commandery City, two guys in black robes and masks looked at each other. They both felt that the atmosphere was so strange that they did not know what to say.
After a long silence, Junior Leopard opened his mouth and broke the uncomfortable silence, "Is it done?"
"It's done!" Golden Rooster nodded, "What did you do to attract the power of the entire Governor Manor?"
"I just killed a few people!" Junior Leopard said, "Of course, I also kidnapped the eldest son of Governor Ruan Ming. I think this should be very convenient for you, right?"
"Yes, very convenient. The defense force of the Governor Manor was wiped out!"
"That's right. It seems that I'm not completely helpless!"
"You've been a great help!" Jin Yuquan laughed dryly.
"Then, what should we do next? Do you want me to go back with you? "
"Go back where?" Jin Yuquan laughed dryly, "I've got the thing. I just need to hand it over to the nearest foothold. Then, the task is over!"
"The closest place to settle down?!"
"Yes, the nearest foothold. We don't need to send the thing back personally. This is the rule!"
"Then, can I go back to Jiang City?"
"Of course, it's up to you. But before you go back, you have to get the reward first!"
"Reward?"
"Of course, reward. Do you think this work is done for free? Our Immortal Palace will not treat people unfairly! "Jin Yuquan laughed," Come with me. After you get your reward, you can go back! "
"What's the reward?"
"Money. According to the different tasks, there's a different price. This time, our task is the Blue Moon Pearl. This thing is a priceless treasure in the martial arts world. So, we get more money. After dividing it between us, each of us can get about 300,000 taels of silver. Of course, you're not an official member of the Immortal Palace, so it's a little less. About 200,000 taels of silver!"
"200,000 taels of silver?" Junior Leopard almost tripped and fell to the ground. It was too easy for him to get 200,000 taels of silver just from this trip.
"What, you think it's too little?"
"Oh, no, it's enough, it's enough. I didn't expect this trip to be so profitable!"
"The Immortal Palace never does business at a loss. If the reward is too low, we won't accept it!"
Junior Leopard was moved and asked, "Don't the people of the Immortal Palace need the Blue Moon Pearl?"
