A faint smell of blood permeated the surroundings. The Wu's disciples had won the first battle and captured the few people who were guarding the carts. Even though a few of them were wounded, they were very happy in their hearts.
Thinking about how Wu Yuntian had searched for so many days, he couldn't even find a single clue. They had just arrived at Black Shakou, and they already had such a harvest. They even found the stolen goods. This was a great contribution!
"Haha, good, good. Everyone did well!" Jin Nanqing's face was full of smiles as he said to the crowd. However, when his gaze landed on Junior Leopard, he paused for a moment. He stepped forward and fiercely patted his shoulder, "Junior Zhou, you really hid your strength well!"
The other few people's expressions suddenly became strange.
Their gazes couldn't help but shift to the black-clothed man who was lying at the side. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Even though everyone was fighting just now, the scene of Junior Leopard swinging the hammer couldn't be hidden from the crowd. Even if they didn't notice it, now that they saw the black-clothed man's miserable state and the golden jian that had already become a fried dough twist, they still couldn't help but want to take a deep breath.
Violence, it was really too violent!
The black-clothed man was not dead yet. However, everyone believed that he really hoped that he was dead. Because from his limp state, most of the bones in his body should have already been broken. His internal organs were also almost rotten, but he was still hanging on to his last breath, struggling at death's door. His gaze seemed to be a little blurred, revealing despair and fear. Even if everyone's standpoint was hostile, it also made people want to go up and help him end this kind of pain.
"Junior Leopard, send him on his way. He's quite pitiful!" Jin Nanqing said.
"Ah?!" Unexpectedly, Junior Leopard rolled his eyes. His face actually revealed a difficult and bashful expression, "Uh, this, Senior, I, I haven't killed anyone before!" At the same time, in accordance with what he said, Junior Leopard's expression also changed. His face was pale and cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. The pair of hands that were holding the hammer also started to tremble. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head and said, "No, I won't go. I don't want to kill!"
"You have already beaten him to this state. You still don't want to kill!"
A few black lines hung on the faces of the Wu's people at the same time. This brat, isn't he too funny?
Junior Leopard looked at Jin Nanqing with a timid look and laughed in his heart, "Pretentious, I'm pretentious, so what?" In the eyes of others, I'm just a twelve-year-old kid. Just now, I didn't know how to control my strength in the fight, so it's fine if I hit him seriously. But if I follow Jin Nanqing's plan and kill this guy with a hammer, it'll be a bit too much. I'm just a kid, not a cold-blooded demon king. If this gets out, won't my reputation be ruined?! "
Jin Nanqing was a little unhappy. This was the first time that Junior Leopard refused his order since they came out of Qinlingjun City. But thinking about it again, Junior Leopard was right. He was just a 12 or 13-year-old kid. Asking him to kill people was really too much.
"How about this, Lou, you do it. If I remember correctly, this person should be your opponent just now!"
Xiao Lou's face heated up. Without saying anything, he stepped forward and slit the throat of the black-clothed man.
"Thank you, Senior Lou. I'll treat you when we get back!" Junior Leopard secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't completely pretending. Although he had killed people before and was a Level Eight expert, he was forced to do it to protect himself. It couldn't be compared to now. The black-clothed man had completely lost his ability to resist. If Junior Leopard went up and smashed him to death with a hammer, he really wouldn't be able to do it.
After cleaning up the scene, Jin Nanqing and the others tied the few survivors to a tree with ropes. Then they walked to the side of the cart that was covered by the branches.
"Senior Jin, this cart is empty!"
An impatient person wiped off the dried branches on the cart and immediately shouted angrily.
"What, empty?!" Jin Nanqing's expression changed. He rushed over to take a look. Indeed, it was empty.
"Senior Brother, there's something here!"
A person on the other side shouted again. Everyone rushed over to take a look. Their expressions couldn't help but become strange.
It turned out that the discovered cart wasn't filled with the Wu Family's goods, but medicinal herbs. Cart after cart of medicinal herbs, a total of 10 big carts!
"These are the medicinal herbs needed for the Bone-Forging Soup to cleanse the body!" After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke.
The atmosphere suddenly became abnormal.
10 big carts of medicinal herbs for the Bone-Forging Soup to cleanse the body. What did this mean?
This meant that it could at least create a Bone-Forging Realm expert.
Using the soup to cleanse the body was a very time-consuming and laborious matter. Moreover, it required perseverance. You couldn't expect to succeed after one or two times. The direct descendants of the real aristocratic families would start to use the soup to cleanse the body after they reached the age of 5. This would continue until the age of 20. In the first few years, they only needed to cleanse three times a year. However, after the age of 10, they needed to cleanse once a month. Only in this way could they have the confidence to break through the Bone-Forging Realm before the age of 20.
Of course, if they didn't break through by the age of 20, it meant that they weren't important and their aptitude was too poor. Even the aristocratic families that had existed for thousands of years wouldn't continue to let them use the soup.
From the age of 5 to the age of 20, a total of 15 years. The medicinal herbs needed were about the same as the 10 big carts in front of them.
10 big carts of medicinal herbs didn't seem to be a lot. However, one must know that the elixir was hard to find. Not to mention 10 carts, just this one cart of medicinal herbs was enough to match the value of the Wu Family's goods by several times.
Because of this, the atmosphere was weird.
Everyone present was the Wu Family's Inner Core disciples. Jin Nanqing and Junior Leopard were the Wu Family's core Inner Core disciples. Even so, they couldn't enjoy the benefits of the Bone-Forging Soup. In the Wu Family, there were only three people who could enjoy the Bone-Forging Soup. They were the three direct descendants of the Wu Family.
"Motherf * cker, I was wondering why that Wu Yuntian was acting so weird. So he was secretly doing this!" Jin Nanqing's eyes were about to spit fire. So many medicinal herbs. How good would it be if they were all given to him. With these medicinal herbs, he would have enough confidence to step into the Bone-Forging Realm.
Once he stepped into the Bone-Forging Realm, he would be the Wu Family's Elder. That status would be soaring like a rocket.
Not only him, the other people present also had fire in their eyes. Junior Leopard was no exception.
"Senior Jin, this …!"
Zhou Zhengming's breathing was a little rough. He turned his head and looked at Jin Nanqing, his face full of hope.
"What do you all think?!" Jin Nanqing waved his hand, indicating Zhou Zhengming not to speak. He glanced at the crowd, taking in everyone's expression. In his heart, he already had some calculations.
Everyone's face was filled with greed. Being stared at by Jin Nanqing's gaze, they all cowered. Their gazes only stared at the carts of medicinal herbs, not saying a word.
Finally, Jin Nanqing's gaze was fixed on Junior Leopard. He smiled and said, "Junior, the leader just now was killed by you. How do you think this matter should be settled?!"
Junior Leopard scolded in his heart, "Is this fellow thinking that I am being bullied? Or does he think that I am young and insensible?" He thought for a while and said, "I'll let you decide!"
"En!" Jin Nanqing nodded his head, "Since that is the case, then I won't say any more nonsense. I know what everyone is thinking about. I am also thinking about this matter. These medicinal herbs are not the Wu Family's goods. I think that Seneschal Wu used the excuse of delivering goods to smuggle them over. Hence, even if we take it ourselves, it won't harm the Wu Family's interests. However, you all have seen that this batch of medicinal herbs is very precious. To us, it is also very important. With this batch of medicinal herbs, we can brew the Bone-Forging Soup. I believe that we have the confidence to step into the Bone-Forging Realm and become Elders!"
When the words Bone-Forging Realm and Elders were mentioned, everyone's eyes brightened up.
"However, even though this batch of medicinal herbs is not the Wu Family's, it was transported by Seneschal Wu. I think that it is related to Seneschal Wu. And the person who can use this batch of medicinal herbs must have a powerful background. If we take it like this, there might be trouble in the future!"
"If we don't take what Heaven has given us, we will be punished!"
Zhou Zhengming, who was at the side, could no longer hold back and jumped out. "Wu Yuntian that trash, after investigating for so many days, he still hasn't found anything. As long as we do this matter cleanly, he won't know. Don't you all think so?"
"This idiot also learned how to fan the flames!" Junior Leopard heard Zhou Zhengming's words and laughed in his heart.
And Zhou Zhengming's words were echoed by the crowd. Among the people in the martial arts world, who didn't want their martial arts to be higher? Who didn't want to break through the bottleneck earlier and be proud and elated?
Hence, after hearing Zhou Zhengming's words, they also started to clamor.
"That's good. Since everyone has this intention, I have nothing else to say. However, I will say the ugly words first. Today's matter can only be known by the eight of us. We must absolutely not leak it out!" As he spoke, he walked in big strides to the side of the big tree where the bandits were tied up. His hand raised his saber and chopped the remaining few people to death. Turning around, his face was still stained with the blood of the bandits, making him look somewhat sinister.
"There are a total of ten carriages here. I will take two, Junior Leopard will take one, and the rest of you will each take a carriage. No one has any objections right?!"
"No, no!" The other six people shook their heads.
"My one carriage is enough!" Junior Leopard said. Indeed, his one carriage was not only enough, it was also too much. He had the prescription of the Bone-Forging Pill. Not to mention one carriage, even half a carriage would be enough for him to refine enough Bone-Forging Pills. Too many medicinal herbs would be useless, and they couldn't be eaten.
"Junior, we are old. Even if we have a carriage of medicinal herbs, we won't be able to use it all. If we use too much, it will be harmful. You are different. You are still young, and your aptitude is not normal. The amount of medicinal herbs in two carriages will be of great use to you. Don't decline!" Jin Nanqing waved his hand and said, "However, junior, you must remember that today's matter must not be known by others. Even if it's Elder Xu, you can't say it. Do you understand?!"
Junior Leopard nodded and said with a face of difficulty, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't say it!"
"Hehe, who would dare to beat you!"
Seeing that Junior Leopard was so tactful, Jin Nanqing felt relieved and laughed. He could also see that although Junior Leopard was young, he was quite scheming. Moreover, even if Junior Leopard told this matter to Xu Yong, Jin Nanqing would not be afraid.
Junior Leopard was Xu Yong's only direct disciple, and he was very attentive to Junior Leopard. Encountering such a good thing, he couldn't be more happy. How could he spread it out? The reason why he told Junior Leopard not to tell Xu Yong was just another layer of insurance.
"Since it's like this, then it's settled. But this time's task, we failed. The reward —!"
"What reward? Senior Jin, you look down on us too much. With these medicinal herbs, what do we need the reward for?!"
