The sun was already rising from the east. He had to return to the House of Chivalry's Imperial Capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain all of this. Of course, Lin Muyu was confident that he would not be held responsible for sending the three maidservants away. This was because he could tell that Ji Yang really needed his strength. Otherwise, when he killed Shi Hai, Ji Yang would have given the order to get rid of him.
…
He rushed back to the House of Chivalry's Imperial Capital without stopping. However, when he was halfway up the mountain, he saw a group of people busy with something at the edge of the cliff. They seemed to be very noisy. Lin Muyu hurriedly urged his horse over and saw a shocking scene.
There was a dead tree at the edge of the cliff, and there was a person hanging under it. There were two arrows stuck in the person's chest, and the blood seemed to have dried up. The clothes on his upper body had been stripped off, and there were two vultures perched on his shoulders. The vultures were lowering their heads and pecking at the flesh on the wound on his shoulder. Every peck made the person tremble in pain.
Taking a closer look at his boots, there was a small "Yi" character embroidered on them. This pair of boots looked very familiar. It was Luo Yu's!
"Luo Yu!"
Lin Muyu rushed forward and flipped off his horse. He suddenly opened his hands and activated a wave of battle energy, sending the vultures flying far away. He leaped up and the green vines of the Gourd Martial Spirit extended from the cliff and bound Luo Yu's body. The Burning Prairie Sword was unsheathed and cut the iron chains. The Gourd Vines slowly retracted and Luo Yu was saved from the cliff just like that.
"Ah … Wu …"
Luo Yu was already extremely weak. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Lin Muyu's angry face in the dazzling sunlight. It was as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. She said, "Master Lin Yan, you … you're back …"
"What happened?!"
Lin Muyu's eyes were cold as she looked at her surroundings and shouted, "What exactly happened? Who did this to Luo Yu? Tell me now!"
The group of Unaffiliated Warriors and Venerable Ones remained silent. Only a Golden Venerable Warrior walked out with a broadsword in his arms and said, "Lord Lin Yan, Luo Yu, the You Yu Emissary, has hidden 114 diamond coins in the North Mountain. The Great You Emissary has already found out about it. Hence, Luo Yu has been stripped of his position as the You Yu Emissary and has been exiled by the House of Chivalry. The Great You Emissary has personally ordered Luo Yu to be hung at the edge of the cliff and let the eagles and griffins eat his body. Lord Lin Yan, I advise you to release him. This is punishment for his betrayal.
This Jin Zun Ranger was obviously one of Ji Yang's men. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so hostile to Lin Muyu.
Lin Muyu looked at the weak Luo Yu and couldn't help but feel a little heartache. Luo Yu was probably the only person in the House of Chivalry who still had a conscience. It was a pity that he ended up like this. Thinking about it carefully, this probably had something to do with him. If he had suggested taking the 228 diamond coins for himself, Luo Yu wouldn't have suffered such a disaster.
"No …"
Qin Wentian lightly shook his head. Lifting his hand, he removed the cloak behind him and wrapped it around Luo Yu's body. He said to the Golden Exalt Ranger, "No matter what, I will protect Luo Yu's life. This is something I must do as his friend.
The Jin Zun Ranger snorted coldly, "Is that so? Master Lin Yan, you could have been promoted to Ranger Envoy in three days. Why would you give up your bright future for a traitor like Luo Yu? "
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. His Dou Qi was enshrouding his body and the aura of a Heaven Realm expert filled the air. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he growled, "Luo Yu didn't betray anyone. Listen up, he didn't betray anyone!"
The group of Golden Venerable, Silver Venerable, and Bronze Venerable Venerable Wanderers were dumbfounded. None of them had expected Lin Muyu to have such an imposing manner. The way she looked at them made it seem as though she had never placed them in her eyes. Under Lin Muyu's imposing manner, these arrogant people actually felt as though they were ants. Perhaps, it wasn't an illusion.
"Lin Yan …"
Luo Yu raised his hand with difficulty and grabbed onto Lin Muyu's wrist. "You have to be careful …"
What he meant was self-evident. Luo Yu was punished for embezzling diamond coins, and Lin Muyu had also embezzled 114 diamonds. If they were to talk about the crime, Lin Muyu's crime was no less than his.
At this moment, Lin Muyu had already helped Luo Yu onto the horse. She flipped onto the horse and galloped up the mountain toward the headquarters. The horse was indeed a good horse. It kept snorting. It had already galloped for an entire night, but now it had to carry two people up the mountain with it. It was really tough on it.
…
"Lin Yan, Master Jin Zun has returned!" Someone in the square of the headquarters announced loudly.
From afar, the Grand Travel Envoy's throne had already been moved to the outside of the headquarters. A group of high-level Rangers stood around it. Ji Yang sat on the throne with his eyes narrowed. He didn't even look at Lin Muyu. Li Qianxun sat at the side and looked at Lin Muyu and Luo Yu with a cold smile on her face.
"Whoosh …"
Lin Muyu helped Luo Yu get off the horse. She slowly walked forward and helped Luo Yu sit on the ground. She cupped her fists and said calmly, "Master Grand Travel Envoy, Lin Yan wants to save Luo Yu's life."
"Is that so?"
Ji Yang opened his eyes and looked at Lin Muyu with a cold smile. His gaze seemed to see through all of her thoughts, causing Lin Muyu's heart to tremble. No, Ji Yang's realm was higher than hers. She couldn't let his soul control her thoughts. Therefore, she hurriedly used the Spirit Pulse Technique to clear her mind. She cupped her fists and continued, "I am Luo Yu's best friend. Since Luo Yu has made a mistake, I should bear the consequences as well. Please, Grand Travel Envoy, retract your order and spare Luo Yu's life!"
"Spare Luo Yu's life?"
Ji Yang abruptly slammed his palm on the table, turning it into dust in the blink of an eye. His face was full of anger as he stood up. His battle energy swirled around his body. This was a battle energy that was definitely stronger than Lin Muyu's. He was at the second level of the Heaven Realm! Ji Yang didn't hide his anger at all. He said coldly, "Luo Yu embezzled 110,000 Jinyin coins. As a Grand Travel Envoy, how could he do such a despicable thing? Lin Yan, tell me, how can I let Luo Yu go?"
Lin Muyu's eyes were cold. She raised her head and looked at Ji Yang. She didn't back down at all. "Grand Travel Envoy, please tell me. How can I let Luo Yu go? I will listen to you!"
"Very well!"
Ji Yang smiled faintly. "I'll spare Luo Yu's life, but your life, Lin Yan's, is mine. How about it?"
"Alright." Lin Muyu clenched her fists, which were trembling slightly.
"Very well!"
Ji Yang laughed heartily. "I hereby announce that Lord Lin Yan is officially promoted to Grand Travel Envoy, becoming one of the two envoys of the main altar. The altar will open in the afternoon, and we will swear an oath of blood!"
"Swear an oath of blood?" Lin Muyu was taken aback.
Luo Yu shook his head slowly. "Lin Yan, don't …"
"It's fine."
Lin Muyu nodded and said in a clear voice, "I will listen to Grand Travel Envoy's orders."
"Very well!"
… …
Lin Muyu helped Luo Yu to sit at the side. He took out a bottle of healing medicine and applied it to his wounds. Luo Yu's face was full of pain as he said, "Lin Yan, you really shouldn't have agreed to their oath of blood."
"Why?"
"Because …" There was a hint of pain on Luo Yu's face as she said, "There are many heroes in Lingnan. Ji Yang was originally from Lingnan, and there's a sect in Lingnan called the 'Witchcraft Sect'. The people there are experts in witchcraft, and Li Qianxun is one of them. His blood has been implanted with a spell. Once you drink the wine that contains the poison, you'll be poisoned, and you'll no longer have any freedom. I've been in the main altar for so many years, and I've always deliberately avoided swearing an oath of blood. You … Why did you do that?"
"Witchcraft …"
Lin Muyu pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As she said that, Lin Muyu checked the medicine in the Qiankun Bag and heaved a sigh of relief after a few seconds. Fortunately, there were still two bottles of Concentration Powder. As long as he drank the Concentration Powder first, his body would be immune to all poisons, even if he was poisoned. Therefore, he secretly drank a bottle of Concentration Powder when no one was paying attention.
He felt a little proud after drinking it. You have witchcraft, and I have the ultimate refining skill of the God of Medicine. Who's afraid of who?
… …
After the lunch banquet, a high platform was set up outside the main altar. With Ji Yang as the leader, all the game envoys, Jin Zun, and Silver Zun drank blood together. A large jar was filled with fine wine. Then, Ji Yang walked forward, bit his middle finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the jar.
Li Qianxun's face was gloomy, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding back. When he cut his index finger, a drop of dark blood dripped into the jar, but the group of Jin Zun and Silver Zun Rangers did not seem to care. Perhaps their ranks were too low to understand the secret of Li Qianxun's witchcraft.
"Lord Lin Yan, it's your turn." Li Qianxun reached out and made an inviting gesture.
Lin Muyu immediately stepped forward and bit his middle finger, but it did not break. After refining his skin, his skin was extraordinarily hard. So, he reached out and wiped the edge of the Burning Prairie Sword, and the blood immediately dripped into the jar.
Then, a few Jin Zun and Silver Zun dripped their blood into the jar one after another.
Lin Muyu saw this and could only secretly sigh, praying that the Concentration Powder would be effective. Otherwise, this group of people … Damn it, these Jin Zun and Silver Zun were all unrestrained and unrestrained, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. Who knew if they had contracted hepatitis B, syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, and so on. After drinking this wine, even if they were not poisoned by witchcraft, they would probably immediately be plagued with all kinds of diseases!
"Lord Lin Yan, please have a drink!" A bearded Venerable held a bowl of blood-stained wine in front of Lin Muyuman and said with a heroic expression.
Lin Muyu looked up and found that Li Qianxun and Ji Yang were looking at him.
"Forget it, this is fate …"
Tears fell from the corner of his eyes, and Lin Muyu raised his hand and drank the wine. A fragrant and spicy feeling flowed into his throat. He suddenly smashed the porcelain bowl and said loudly, "Good wine!"
Ji Yang, Li Qianxun, and the others also laughed and drank the "poisoned wine". Ji Yang drank it too. He must have drunk the antidote of witchcraft beforehand, otherwise, with his status, he would not be willing to be controlled by Li Qianxun.
…
A few minutes later, there was a strange feeling in his stomach, with a slight warmth. Lin Muyu knew that this was the effect of witchcraft. Could it be that the Concentration Powder was ineffective against this kind of witchcraft? Lin Muyu couldn't help but worry.
"Kid, you're poisoned. What should we do?"
The voice of the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor came from the depths of Yi Hai. He knew Lin Muyu's body best, so he naturally noticed it at the first moment.
"Help me get rid of it …" Lin Muyu said with a smile through his spiritual perception.
The Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor snorted coldly.
Not long after, there was a cool feeling in his body. It was the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor devouring the witchcraft poison. Lin Muyu couldn't help but sigh. "Damn it, sometimes it's quite useful to have a demon king living in my body."
