Sikong Jiahe was only threatening with half a step back, hinting that if Master Chu and Yu Wuyou did not want to leave with him, they could not leave the forest either.
In the end, the two of them could only agree to Sikong Jiahe's request.
Whether it was for the map or for some other purpose, they could only compromise.
The most important thing right now was to protect the dragon's scale. With a chance to rest, anything could be done.
They didn't even have the strength to stand up, so how could they resist?
However, Sikong Jiahe also allowed the two of them to avoid Su Xinghe's pursuit and did not let the soldiers bring them back to report.
Instead, he placed the two of them in a courtyard outside the palace and even asked a doctor to treat their injuries.
Although he knew that he didn't sincerely want to save them, he definitely had a goal.
The dragon scales within the Palace had been stolen, and the twelve elites had been killed or injured. However, this news had not yet spread to the public. The entire Xuyang City still did not know of the ruckus that had taken place within the Palace.
Sikong Jiahe also only knew that the twelve elites were injured or dead, and did not hear anything about the dragon's scale from Sikong Xun's mouth. After all, this matter concerned the entire foundation of the warehouse.
If the people were to find out that the Dragon Subduing Kingdom's treasure had been stolen, it would cause the hearts of the people to waver.
After two days, Yu Wuyou was able to walk, but Chu Shiyu's eyes still had not recovered. That beam of light had hurt his eye, ordinary doctors simply could not cure it.
After waiting for them to leave, Yu Wuyou leaned over and whispered into Huo Xiao's ear, "I've already delivered the letter to him. After we are ready, we can meet him outside the city, but the dragon's scale is very safe, it's just your eyes, these ordinary doctors can't cure it, so we'll have to wait for a while longer."
"There's nothing wrong with my eyes. Even if I'm unable to see right now, no one can hurt me that easily. The main reason is Sikong Jia He's goal. Does he really want the map?"
If Sikong Jiahe truly wanted the map, he would have come to look for them. However, until now, he had not made a single movement, leaving the matter of the map behind in his mind.
He would never do it for a map, Chu Shiyu thought.
If he did not seize the opportunity to attack them when they were unconscious, could it be that he did not do so for Long Lin?
Yu Wuyou replied, "Just be careful. It's not safe in Dragon City. There's still a large number of troops searching everywhere. We should leave as soon as possible."
The next day, Yu Wuyou and Master Chu knocked out Sikong Jiahe's attendant and rushed out of the city to meet up with Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao was by a lakeside, but the two of them couldn't see him.
"Huo Xiao didn't come?"
Yu Wuyou replied, "We agreed to meet here, did we not receive the letter?"
"No, Huo Xiao is calm and smart. He won't be able to read your letter, unless …"
The sound of footsteps came from behind him. Feeling that something was wrong, Yu Wuyou said, "We've fallen into a trap. Sikong Jiahe's not targeting us, it's Huo Xiao."
"Not good, Long Lin ~"
The two of them turned around. Sikong Jiahe had already led his men to surround the two of them. Behind him stood a familiar figure. It was Yun Ji, who was lurking beside Sikong Xun.
On the side, Huo Xiao was pushed out. He was covered in blood, and all his tendons and vessels were broken. He looked like a cripple.
Sikong Jiahe held a bag in his hand and said with a sneer, "I'm sorry, but thank you for obtaining all the dragon's scales for me. When I activate my Nine Netherworld Origin Energy, the two of you will be the credit of Nine Netherworld."
The dragon scale was in the package. They were surrounded by enemies on all four sides, so they placed the four dragon scales on Huo Xiao's body in a moment of desperation.
Master Chu mocked her. Her clever life had been in vain, but she had been tricked for a while. How could she have never thought about Huo Xiao, who had never shown up?
From when she was at Xingqing Palace, Yun Ji had been hiding very well. First, she had taken the dragon scales as her goal and left Sikong Xun's control.
Actually, she already knew that she had been exposed and had purposely died in Yu Wuyou's hands, so she could stay in the shadows.
Also, the entire palace was on guard, so if the outer two layers weren't intentionally releasing the water, how could the Snow Wall Condor reach the top of Xing Qing Palace and obtain the dragon scales within the palace?
As long as she and Yu Wuyou walked out of the palace, he would have the final say in everything outside. Even if he got the dragon scale, what could Sikong Zhaixing do to him?
Xing Qing Palace didn't even have the strength to guard the dragon's scale, and he still had Yun Ji by his side.
Huo Xiao crawled to her feet and said, "Sorry …" "Princess, Huo Xiao didn't manage to …"
"That has nothing to do with you. Originally, you could have stayed out of the way, but now, you're getting involved. The one who's ashamed is me." She stopped and gave Huo Xiao a look of shame.
Yu Wuyou passed the remaining three Blazing Lotuses to Chu Shiyu. The Blazing Lotus was too valuable, and if not for the few Blazing Lotuses they had sustained in the Palace, they would have died of exhaustion long ago.
But just now, when Chu Shiyu squatted down, he had already implanted the Life Continuing Gu into Huo Xiao, and Yu Wuyou had no choice but to give the Blazing Flame Lotus to her.
She could even use the Life Continuing Gu to protect Huo Xiao because she didn't want him to die, so he had no choice but to take out the Blazing Flame Lotus.
Zhu Shiyu planted a Life Continuing Gu in Huo Xiao's mouth, then he placed a Blazing Flame Lotus in Huo Xiao's mouth before slowly standing up.
"The second prince has already obtained the dragon's scale, how are you planning to deal with us?"
Sikong Jiahe smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill all of you right now. Wait until I obtain the last piece of dragon's scale, you all won't have any value at all."
He gestured to the soldiers behind him, and brought Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou away, letting them kick Huo Xiao into the pool.
The two of them did not try to backstab each other. Furthermore, right now, they could not even beat Yun Ji. Second, they had to go back with Sikong Jia He. There was still a chance to get back the dragon's scale.
However, Huo Xiao and Wang Yan turned their heads to look at the calm lake water. They hoped that Huo Xiao could survive the crisis with the help of the Life Continuing Gu and the Blazing Flame Lotus.
They were not brought back to the city, but were pressed all the way to the east, towards the south, where they could obtain the last dragon scale from the Heavenly Jewel Masters.
They split into two teams along the way. Sikong Jiahe brought Master Chu and Yun Ji brought Yu Wuyou and one team.
During the night, the few of them stopped at a hill. Sikong Jia He lifted the curtain of the carriage and sat opposite Master Chu.
"Grand Princess, why waste everyone's time? "I know that Heavenly Master Nation's Dragon Scale is not in the palace, so tell me where it is. When the Nine Nether Energy is activated, I promise to protect your Heavenly Master Empire's land."
Master Chu was furious. "You've been to the Heavenly Master Palace?"
"Yes, more than once!"
She couldn't see with her eyes, but she felt a familiar smell coming from Sikong Jiahe.
It was as if they had met somewhere a long time ago.
Chu Shiyu did not retaliate because of Long Lin. If he had been forced again and again, he would definitely not continue to endure.
She had a nagging feeling that there were a lot of things about Sikong Jiahe that she could not see through. For example, his hidden martial power. He did not look like an ordinary martial artist, but the aura he emitted was too ordinary.
To dare to travel with her without fear of her spirit formation or the broken thumb ring on her hand, he seemed to be on guard against everything and Chu Shiyu did not dare to act rashly.
