As they spoke, the battle between the Silver Orchid Bandit and the black-robed man had reached a critical juncture. The large amount of Dharmic powers in the surroundings forced the Foundation Establishment cultivators to retreat to a safe place. This was still under the condition that the black-robed man was using arrows and his attacks were concentrated. If he was like the Silver Orchid Bandit and attacked without restraint, the Zhenwei Marquis' residence would probably be destroyed.
Countless fragments formed a huge silver orchid. The fragments were like mirrors and shone with a blurry light. Wisps of floral fragrance bloomed from the petals and condensed into a long whip of cold air. Every time it lashed out, the air seemed to freeze.
The silver orchid was beautiful and deadly. The Silver Orchid Bandit's hair danced in the wind and his black cloak flapped. His evil aura soared to the sky.
"Uncle Kun, why haven't the city guards of Wushang City arrived yet?" Seeing this scene, Cao Xier couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"I'm not sure. There are some city guards who are on good terms with Old Master and some who are not. It seems that Jiang Dongcheng, who usually doesn't get along with Old Master, is on duty today. If not for the black-robed man's appearance, our Marquis' residence would really become the laughing stock of the entire Wushang City." Cao Kun's expression was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.
"Now we can only hope that the black-robed man won't be defeated." Cao Xier looked at the slightly thin but sturdy back with concern.
Whoosh! The first arrow was blocked by the long whip of cold air. The black-robed man was unmoved and his expression was incomparably calm. Suddenly, a strange aura appeared on his body, like a ferocious leopard in the wild. He drew his bow again and shot out two arrows in succession. His power was like thunder and lightning.
The Silver Orchid Bandit's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that the black-robed man's cultivation was not below his and that the power that he had displayed was only the tip of the iceberg. He let out a strange cry and the several feet tall silver orchid under his feet flew into the air and blocked in front of him.
Crack! The arrow hit the silver orchid. The Silver Orchid Bandit's face paled and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It hit the silver orchid in front of him, which had dimmed significantly. Before he could react, the arrow behind him didn't give him much time to react and directly shattered the silver orchid. The arrow pierced through the barrier.
With a miserable cry, the fragments that filled the sky once again turned back into a few feet long silver soft sword that floated powerlessly in the air.
The Silver Orchid Bandit, who had an arrow in his left shoulder, borrowed the force of the arrow to retreat. At the same time, he didn't forget to recall his soft sword. Feeling the pain, the Silver Orchid Bandit pulled out the Fire Dragon Arrow. There was already a fist-sized bloody hole at the arrow's opening. After throwing away the Fire Dragon Arrow, the Silver Orchid Bandit's body streaked across the night sky like a stream of light as he fled in a sorry state. As for the Long-armed Stone Monkey, after receiving the Silver Orchid Bandit's order to retreat, it also abandoned the Netherworld Hound and fled in a sorry state.
"This warrior lent a hand when my Marquis Estate was in danger, and he's the great benefactor of my Zhenwei Marquis Estate. I wonder if it's convenient for you to report your name? My Zhenwei Marquis Estate will surely reward you generously. When my Marquis returns in the future, he will surely treat you as a close friend to repay your kindness today. "
Cao Kun saw that the Silver Orchid Bandit, who had been incomparably arrogant and had repeatedly committed crimes in Wushang City, was actually injured by the black-clothed man's arrow and was forced to retreat in defeat. Those wild and ferocious arrows seemed to be able to devour one's mind. Only now did Cao Kun regain his senses and hurriedly bowed to the black-clothed man to express his gratitude.
"That's right. If you don't mind, why don't you stay at my Zhenwei Marquis Estate as a guest? Xi 'er and the entire estate will surely treat you as the most honorable guest." Cao Xier was now dressed in a robe and was no longer as awkward as before. She gently invited the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man was naturally Lu Xiaotian. He was quite satisfied with the power of the Fire Dragon Bow after it was repaired. Right now, the Fire Dragon Bow was even more powerful than before. After all, the materials used to repair it were several times more powerful than the previous level seven Fire Dragon Bow. Moreover, several types of spiritual items had been infused into it. Most cultivators' Inner Core Dharma artifacts were damaged. Directly replacing them with a new one would take too much time. Most cultivators would choose to repair them, even if it meant paying a higher price. Some Dharma artifacts became more and more powerful as they were continuously repaired, while others were completely destroyed. The situation was not the same.
Therefore, people with higher cultivation levels often possessed unique Dharma artifacts. It was very difficult to have a second one that was exactly the same. After all, every cultivator's experience was different. Even if cultivators of the same element cultivated the same cultivation method, it was impossible for the amount of materials used to repair the artifacts to be the same every time after a battle.
Lu Xiaotian was pondering whether he should reply to Cao Kun when he suddenly felt a strange movement in his dantian. Lu Xiaotian's expression changed. He did not stay any longer and immediately broke through the air to leave. The Di Ghost Hound did not chase too far. Its mission was to protect the Zhenwei Marquis Estate. Without Cao Kun's orders, it would not go far.
Cao Kun, Cao Xier, and the rest did not expect the black-clothed man to leave without saying a word. Towards this mysterious and unfathomable black-clothed man with profound magic power, he couldn't help but have a few more speculations.
"Uncle Kun, do you want to pay a visit to father's old friends in Wushang City tomorrow? If they were not related, the black-clothed man would not have helped our Zhenwei Marquis Estate for no reason." Cao Xier's eyes flashed. She only withdrew her gaze when the black-clothed man's tall and straight figure completely disappeared.
"Of course we will pay a visit. However, I understand your intentions. There is no need to beat around the bush. Those Jin Dan cultivators are all shrewd people. If you have any intentions, they will be able to sense your probing with just a few words. That would be bad. Moreover, since the black-clothed man is unwilling to let us know who he is, there must be some inconvenience. If we were to rashly inquire, we might offend someone's taboo. Let nature take its course. "Cao Kun thought for a moment and shook his head.
"But." Cao Xier was somewhat unwilling in her heart. However, Cao Kun's words made sense. Everything could be discussed when her father was around. However, he was now far away in the Da Qi Kingdom. The only person in the Zhenwei Marquis Estate who had enough backing was Cao Kun. If she were to rashly inquire or probe, it would indeed incur the displeasure of the other Jin Dan cultivators.
"All of you may disperse. You are not to mention a single word of what happened tonight. Although the Marquis is far away in the Da Qi Kingdom, our Zhenwei Marquis Estate is not a place where just anyone can come. The Silver Orchid Bandit's reputation had been tarnished for a while. If he had not fled quickly, he would also have been buried here. Although the black-clothed man did not leave his name, he could be an expert arranged by the Marquis. " Cao Kun instructed the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators with a stern expression. "If I hear of anyone who cannot control their mouths outside, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
