C20 Tearing the Bridge after Crossing the River
After escaping from the Luoyang City, Left Protector drove the carriage that he had prepared beforehand back to the headquarters of Devil Cult with Chen Xiaowu.
The journey was bumpy. Chen Xiaowu sat in the horse carriage. He was still worried about the few Devil Cult disciples who were behind the two of them.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaowu opened the carriage curtain and asked Left Protector about their escape route.
"Those few disciples are still in Luoyang. Don't you worry that General Lin will catch them?"
Left Protector seemed to be used to it. He grabbed the reins in his hand and explained to Chen Xiaowu.
"Before the sect master left Luoyang, he gave each of them a poison. At this moment, all of them must have died from the poison."
Chen Xiaowu was shocked when he heard Left Protector's words. Seeing Left Protector's overly calm attitude, he guessed that this kind of thing would happen occasionally.
"Those are a few fresh lives. These few days, they have been doing whatever they wanted. Are you going to treat your so-called brothers like this?!"
Left Protector turned around and glared at Chen Xiaowu.
"Lee Yuhan," Left Protector said. "Do you know what the world is like? Do you know how to deal with hundreds of assassins by yourself?"
Left Protector seemed to have thought of the past. He thought for a long time before he continued.
"You are still an official. You don't understand the principle of taking a light approach and avoiding a heavy one. If the sect master doesn't give up this small part, the loss will be the life or death of the entire devil religion."
Chen Xiaowu's heart was heavy. The phrase 'life and death are related to the heavens' in his mind had been used until this moment, making him seem especially ironic.
"Left Protector, I only want to ask you one thing right now. Is this how all the people with high positions and power do things?"
Left Protector shook his head. "Not all of them, but there are very few people who can take care of the big picture. People are always selfish."
... ""
"Lee Yuhan, sometimes I find you hard to see through."
Left Protector looked at Chen Xiaowu's injured face and paused for a moment. He pulled the reins of the horse tightly and made the carriage stop for a while.
"Although you look like a soft egg that everyone can bully on the surface, when the time comes, you never cause trouble for others."
Chen Xiaowu smiled bitterly. "Left Protector, you don't have to lie. I know what I am."
Left Protector looked at him carefully. "In headquarters of Devil Cult, the sect master will not let you go easily. You need to be prepared for this."
"En..."
Left Protector said, "leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Dugu Jian, we used to be brothers. Try not to talk about leader of the Martial Arts Alliance."
Chen Xiaowu was speechless.
When he heard these words, he felt like he was about to be beheaded. The other party wanted to treat him to the last meal of "Cutting off his head.
After returning to headquarters of Devil Cult, Left Protector didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly brought Chen Xiaowu to the devil cave to report to him.
"Reporting to Sect Master, this humble servant has brought Lee Yuhan here."
"All of you, withdraw."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Left Protector received the order and stole a glance at Chen Xiaowu. After that, he walked past him and left the devil cave.
Yann Mei showed half of his shoulder and leaned on the beast skin throne with a seductive posture. His gaze was soul-stirring.
"Come here and help me apply the medicine."
Chen Xiaowu was stunned. He stood still. He was as stunned as a wooden chicken. "Is the leader referring to me?"
Yann Mei brushed his red hair on his left shoulder. He asked Chen Xiaowu to take out the ointment from the side and apply it on the right shoulder blade where the wound had split open.
"You are the only one who can still breathe while standing here. Is there anything else besides you?"
Chen Xiaowu was speechless.
Chen Xiaowu had to be timid when he was under the roof. He followed Yann Mei's instructions and applied the ointment on his wounds. His movements were very gentle.
Yann Mei closed his eyes and closed his eyes. He asked Chen Xiaowu in a low voice, "Can you really help me defeat leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"
Chen Xiaowu's expression changed. He thought that Yann Mei was going to give him to leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and Dugu Jian. He shook his hands and applied more medicine.
"I don't dare to say I'm completely confident. I can only try my best."
Yann Mei sensed the movement of the person behind him and smiled secretly. He did not know why, but this ugly thing always gave people the feeling of stepping on solid ground.
"It's true. If I didn't offend Dugu Jian and caused this mess, I would have considered letting you join the Devil Cult and become the Right Protector."
Chen Xiaowu thought to himself. This Yann Mei could even give up on the followers of the Devil Cult, let alone the right Protector. He wouldn't have fallen for it.
After pausing for a moment, Chen Xiaowu quickly changed the topic.
"I wonder who caused the injuries on the sect master's body. Every wound almost touched a vital point."
Yann Mei's body suddenly trembled. Chen Xiaowu was applying medicine to the back of his neck, which was the most sensitive part.
"It was my negligence. I thought you were in Luoyang, and Loong Yin wouldn't care about your life or death. Who would have thought that he set a trap on purpose, waiting for me to jump in?"
Chen Xiaowu stopped applying the medicine and couldn't help but be shocked.
"Loong Yin? "What happened when the little one was not in Luoyang?"
Yann Mei opened his eyes and looked at Chen Xiaowu. "Do you really want to know?"
Chen Xiao Wu said righteously. "Since this lowly one has offered to help the leader, I naturally need to find out a part of the truth first."
Yann Mei thought for a moment before slowly revealing the reason for what had happened.
"Loong Yin used the excuse of my invasion of Luoyang to kill those officials and dogs who have been working for the Long family in secret."
Chen Xiaowu was stunned. "Isn't this destroying the bridge after crossing the river?"
Yann Mei was calm and collected. "Don't be surprised. This is just Loong Yin's usual way of doing things."
Suddenly, a sound came from outside the devil cave, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of weapons meeting.
Left Protector hurried over and reported the situation outside to Yann Mei, "Sect Master, leader of the Martial Arts Alliance has come to see you."
"What?" Yann Mei immediately sat up. "Isn't he staying in the Suzhou long residence? Why is he here in headquarters of Devil Cult?"
Suddenly, a figure rushed into the devil cave. The true qi around his body shook, pushing Left Protector out of the devil cave.
Dugu Jian was wearing a black robe. His face was green and his beard was unshaven. He looked at Yann Mei with a tired expression and said coldly.
"Yann Mei, you are really lucky. Loong Yin didn't kill you."
Dugu Jian glanced at him again. Chen Xiaowu, who was standing next to him, said, "Lee Yuhan. I wonder what conditions you have promised Loong Yin to let you go."
Yann Mei frowned and stared at Dugu Jian's every move.
"Dugu Jian, don't go too far. If it weren't for the fact that I still care about my brothers and sisters, you would have died a thousand times over!"
Dugu Jian suddenly knelt on the ground with a solemn expression. "Senior brother, I came to headquarters of Devil Cult this time because I have something to ask of you."
"The dignified leader of the Martial Arts Alliance actually came to the Devil Cult to ask for help?"
Yann Mei was dumbfounded. When he understood what was going on, he couldn't help but go mad with anger.
"That little thing of yours has already made the Quan Zhen Sect lose face. If Master was still alive, he would definitely cripple you..."
Dugu Jian lowered his head, not letting Yann Mei see through his flaws.
"Even if the many sects in the Pugilistic World laugh at Quan Zhen Sect, I, Dugu Jian, do not care. However, Yuu Qing... was poisoned and his entire body was bleeding."
Yann Mei was so angry that he slapped Dugu Jian's handsome face and used 40% of his strength. "In the end, you are still doing this for that bull's nose!"
Dugu Jian held back his palm and said, "Senior brother, I need the Paramita Flower that you taught me. No matter what conditions I have, I will agree to them."
Yann Mei sneered. "Agree to any conditions? You said it yourself. You are not allowed to go back on your word."
Dugu Jian's face stiffened. He held back the unhappiness in his heart. He stared at Yann Mei with a grim expression and made a promise.
"Senior brother, as long as you can give me the Paramita Flower, I can give you the position of leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"
"There's no need for that. I only want all of your disciples to kowtow and apologize to the followers of the Devil Cult."
Yann Mei said coldly. "As for Yuu Qing, he saved my life. I won't ask for an exorbitant price at a time like this."
Chen Xiaowu watched the conversation between the two. When he saw Yann Mei really take out the Paramita Flower that was hidden in the secret compartment, he couldn't help but admire him.
Dugu Jian obviously didn't expect Yann Mei to be so straightforward. He immediately kowtowed to him and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
Yann Mei did not even blink. "Forgive me for not sending you off."
