Lu Zheng did not want to clash with the supreme commander of Zhi Ling's territory. He did not even want to expose himself in front of Draconis. He did not know Draconis's exact intentions, but judging from the Black Army Empire's attitude towards Lu Ping's group, they could not possibly be Lu Ping's friends. To Lu Zheng, the most important thing was whether Draconis wanted Lu Ping alive or dead Lu Ping.
If he was dead, it would save Lu Zheng a lot of trouble. He was happy to see it happen.
But if he was alive, he would have a headache. To the organization, Lu Ping could die, but he could not fall into the hands of others. This was especially so for a large faction like the Black Army Empire. If they mobilized all their resources to investigate, too many secrets hidden on Lu Ping would be discovered.
It was an excellent opportunity to kill or even capture Lu Ping alive. But because of the existence of Draconis's group, Lu Zheng had no choice but to be cautious. As for the Zhou Clan's bloodline that he accidentally obtained, it did not lessen his worries. After staring in the direction that Draconis and Song Hua had gone for a while, Lu Zheng turned and walked into the depths of the forest.
Wei Tianqi followed Lu Zheng silently. The fear that the blood ball had brought him was still not completely dispelled.
For the sake of power, he finally chose to follow this stranger who had suddenly appeared.
He did not know this person's background, nor did he know anything about this person. Just from this person's simple words, he finally made up his mind.
Because he felt that he had no other choice. The position of a City Lord, the background of the Southern Sky Academy, these powers were actually so weak in front of Lu Ping. Not to mention that one of his enemies was from the northwest Yan Clan.
And this stranger said with certainty that he could give Wei Tianqi the power he wanted.
What right did he have? What did he have?
Of course, Wei Tianqi wanted to confirm it, but the other party would not reveal too much information until the last moment.
Wei Tianqi's determination was also filled with hesitation, and there was no lack of desperation in it.
Now that he saw Lv Zheng's strange technique of extracting the blood balls from Zhou Shanlong's body, he suddenly had another guess about Lv Zheng's background.
"Is it the Dark Academy?" Wei Tianqi suddenly asked.
Lu Zheng, who was walking in front, paused for a moment, but he did not have much of a reaction. He just replied indifferently, "Sort of!"
"Oh." Wei Tianqi did not have much of a reaction. The Dark Academy was terrifying and evil in the eyes of the world. But to Wei Tianqi, the unknown was what made him the most uneasy. Now that he heard such a clear answer, he calmed down a lot. He did not care about the Four Great Academies or the Dark Academy. All he wanted was power.
He walked behind Lu Zheng. He didn't ask him about his intentions and just followed him silently.
On the road outside the forest, the rest of the practitioners gathered together. After being on guard against each other, someone finally started to search Zhou Shanlong's body in the pool of blood. The result naturally disappointed everyone. On such a strong practitioner, other than his tattered clothes, there was not even a copper coin, much less the divine weapons, secret manuals, and miraculous medicines that everyone was looking forward to.
Everyone immediately dispersed, some heading south, some heading north, and each taking their own original paths. No one was kind enough to go and bury Zhou Shanlong's body or anything. In the world of practitioners, deaths like this happened countless times every day. They had long since stopped being kind to such a place.
The road extended north, and a village quickly appeared. Taking advantage of the convenience of being close to Zhiling City, the village was quite prosperous. Lu Ping's group avoided the main road and went directly to the easternmost part of the village. At the edge, they found an abandoned courtyard and immediately rested there.
Lu Ping was a bit tired after defeating Zhou Shanlong, but Chu Min was clearly in a more serious condition. After settling her on a straw mat, the others surrounded her. Morin put two fingers on Chu Min's left wrist and seriously felt her pulse, but the injured Chu Min stared at him coldly.
"Um … …"
"Um … …"
Mo Lin shook his head and kept humming. After a long while, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Do you know how to or not?" Fang Yizhu was the first to voice his doubt. As for old acquaintances like Lu Ping and Chu Min, their doubts about Morin's medical skills had long been planted in their hearts. Only Ling Ziyan looked nervously and expectantly at Morin.
"The injuries are not light," Morin said. Ling Ziyan instantly panicked.
"But she won't die," Morin said again. Ling Ziyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nonsense." Chu Min impatiently retracted her hand.
"Drink more water?" Lu Ping asked Morin.
"Of course it's excellent." Morin nodded.
Ling Ziyan hurriedly began to look for water, but Chu Min picked up the wine pot, looked at Morin, and took a big gulp.
"Um … … um … …" Morin hummed twice. No matter what kind of injury or illness, alcohol was always a taboo. But looking at Chu Min's provocative big gulp, in order to avoid being beaten, Morin decided to shut up.
"It seems that Teacher Chu Min knows her own situation." He laughed.
"How are you?" Chu Min turned her head and looked at Lu Ping.
"A little dizzy, but it shouldn't be a big deal," Lu Ping said.
"You're not injured physically, it's your spirit." Chu Min said.
Lu Ping nodded.
Finally, he used the Flying Sound Slash to attack Zhou Shanlong. He was highly focused, and the power of his soul was fully activated, without a moment of rest. The amount of energy he used every second could no longer be described with words, not to mention that he had attacked Zhou Shanlong for so long. At this time, Lu Ping only looked a little tired, but only Lu Ping himself knew that he could only slightly feel the power of the soul within the Soul Locking Imprisonment, but had no way of controlling it. He needed time to recover.
"If your body is fine, then hurry up and continue on your way." Chu Min said.
"This … …" The few of them looked at each other.
"It's hard for me to move, and bringing me along will be a burden. Su Tang could encounter danger at any moment, so we can't delay. "Chu Min said.
"I'll stay behind to take care of you!" Ling Ziyan, who hadn't spoken much, blurted out at this time. She didn't question Chu Min's decision, and only made plans for her own departure.
"What if I insist that you go with Lu Ping and the others?" Chu Min said.
Ling Ziyan was stunned, and tears began to swirl in her eyes, but she still nodded and said: "I'll listen to you."
"I'll go meet up with you when I've recovered." Chu Min said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded.
"Alright, you guys go. Fang, wait a moment, I have a few words to say to you." Chu Min said.
"Me?" Fang Yizhu was a little surprised.
"En, you guys wait outside for a moment." Chu Min said.
Lu Ping and the others nodded and left the room, leaving Fang Yizhu alone.
"Strange, why does Teacher Chu Min want to keep that guy?" Morin muttered as soon as they left the room.
Lu Ping shook his head.
"That guy, do you think he's reliable?" Morin asked Lu Ping.
"He should be alright." Lu Ping said.
"Alright?" Morin was speechless towards such an inconclusive judgment. He was the most cautious person, so he really didn't like this kind of vague answer.
"I only know that he graduated from Zhenfeng College and was recommended to North Style Academy by the dean. Isn't this the same as us?" Lu Ping said.
"I know this. But this doesn't mean anything. "Morin said.
"The dean seems to have some special expectations for him." Lu Ping said.
"Then what is it?" Morin said.
"I'm not sure." Lu Ping said.
"He left North Style Academy to find you, but he didn't say what he wanted to do." Morin said.
"He didn't say anything." Lu Ping said.
"It's better to be careful." Morin said.
Lu Ping nodded.
The two's conversation ended here. After a while, Fang Yizhu came out from the small room.
"What did the teacher want to talk to you about?" Although he clearly knew that since the three of them were sent away, it was definitely not convenient to tell them about the matter, but Morin still couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing much. He wanted me to take care of you guys. "Fang Yizhu said.
"Let you?" Morin snorted disdainfully. He didn't believe it at all. North Style Academy's Fang Yizhu's act of selling out his teammates was something that Morin had never forgotten.
"Hehe." Fang Yizhu laughed and didn't say anything else. This made his answer seem even more perfunctory.
Morin couldn't continue asking and could only look at Lu Ping, "Are we leaving now?"
"Teacher, we're leaving!" Lu Ping shouted towards the house.
"Are you courting death? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Chu Min's reprimand came from the house.
"Let's go." Lu Ping said. The four continued on their way. Ling Ziyan looked back three times with every step.
"Alright, don't be so worried. The alcohol teacher has drunk is more than the water you've drunk. She will take care of herself. "Morin comforted Ling Ziyan.
"Mn." Ling Ziyan nodded.
Fang Yizhu, who was walking at the back of the four, silently listened to their conversation and couldn't help but look back.
That's right! She was a veteran and had incomparably rich experience. That's why even with such a heavy injury, she was still able to detect something that the three of you couldn't.
