Phoenix Returns - C50
The Pauper took a few steps back in shock. She released a fierce glare, and the dust from her dagger rolled out from her sleeve and shot towards the Pauper’s heart.
Then! All he saw was the skull of the beggar flying towards her, colliding with the dust cloud in her hands, and both of them were sent flying at the same time.
Seeing that he had failed, the beggar immediately ran away. Chu Shiyu had originally wanted to chase after him, but found that his head had suddenly fainted.
She was stunned on the spot. If she continued to chase after him, she would definitely expose signs of being poisoned, so she could not show off.
He caressed his heart before returning to the palace. After closing the door, he collapsed onto his bed and began to circulate his energy to heal his injuries.
That palm might not have been fatal, but it had shattered his internal organs. With the poisonous smoke invading his body, his internal force was unable to resist it.
When she saw the little fox scurry back out of the hall, she jumped into her hands and whined a few times. It knew that Master Chu had been poisoned and was also severely injured.
It was just that last time, in order to suppress the poison on Yu Wuyou, Chu Shiyu had already given the little fox a lot of blood. Even now, the little fox still had not fully recovered, and now, it could not bear to let go of its blood.
Moreover, she couldn’t even suppress the poison with her own inner force, so the little fox’s blood might not be useful.
“Oh little fox, I know you’re worried about me. I won’t die, don’t worry!”
He saw the little fox rub its head against her face before it fled out of the hall. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside the house. Master Chu had just lifted up the blanket when Yu Wuyou came out of the window.
Seeing her pale face that showed signs of being poisoned, he immediately helped Chu Shanyu up and stuffed a pill into her mouth.
“Why are you here?”
“I arrived at Master Yan two days ago. I found this in a grass hut in the God Realm Mountain Range.”
Master Chu opened the prescription that Yu Wuyou handed to him. It recorded the secret to how the Nine Nether Source Energy could grant immortality.
In the medical world, there were too many people who had studied life and death, and there were also many who had explored the secrets to longevity.
It was only by chance that the secret of the dragon’s scale was discovered by the Fated Star, which was why he was able to lay out the recipe. The dragon’s scale was originally the royal family’s most precious jade; if it was only used to support a person’s life, how could the world allow it?
After Yu Wuyou left the mountain, he had met Murong Jiuqing once and learned that Murong Shixiong had come to fetch the dragon’s scale from the Heavenly Master Kingdom.
Yu Wugou thought, Murong Shixiong had always been used by Sikong Xun, he must have been here to pick up the dragon scales for Sikong Xun. Currently, the various empires were heavily guarded, and the Heavenly Master Kingdom was young, so it was best for them to make a move first.
Although Grand Princess Chu Shiyu had made a name for herself in the Western Territory, in the eyes of the world, she was a woman after all, and not many people would fear her.
As such, in order to obtain the dragon’s scale, they would first attack the Heavenly Master. Yu Wuyou rushed over to help Master Yan to defend against Murong Shixiong in case Master Yan was robbed.
“I have already arrived at Master Yan two days ago and even fought against Murong Shi. I have only heard that he had great martial prowess and was able to match up to no one in the Ninth Night. I didn’t expect him to be this strong, and I have only fought against him for less than ten moves, yet we were defeated by him.”
When Master Chu heard this, he was stunned. If he couldn’t even deal with himself and Yu Wuyou, then Long Lin would be in danger.
“It seems like Sikong Xun is determined to get the dragon’s scale. After the Heavenly Master’s dragon scales are successfully obtained, he will definitely sneak into the other countries to steal the dragon’s scale. If Sikong Xun gets the dragon scales, the world will face an unprecedented crisis.”
Yu Wuyou heaved a long sigh. At that time, no matter which dynasty Tartarus came from, it would be impossible for them to escape the fate of being exterminated.
Sikong Xun’s ambition was not as simple as wanting to live forever. So the Big Cang had millions of lions, losing more than half of their forces in the Western Territory. Naturally, he did not dare to rashly send troops to the other countries.
Once he obtained the dragon’s scale, he would activate the Mirror of Illusionary Land and obtain the elemental energy of the Nine Nether, urging the Soul Eating Army to war against the other countries. At that time, all life would be gone, and the world would be hell on earth.
“If you want to stop Sikong Xun’s ambition, you might as well snatch the five dragon scales before him and open the Mirror of Illusion …”
Yu Wuyou and Chu Shiyu looked at each other, both of them having the same thought, only, how difficult was it to obtain all the dragon scales, they not only had to become enemies with the other countries, but also had to overcome countless difficulties.
Not to mention that the current Murong Shixiong was very difficult to deal with, he would definitely be heavily guarded in the other dynasties as well. Stealing from him one by one would be even harder than ascending to the heavens.
But after obtaining the dragon’s scale, by activating the Nine Nether Source Energy and obtaining the Soul Suppressing Army’s ability to deter the Nine Nether Limitless, it would also be better than letting Sikong Xun use it to go to war with the other countries.
Chu Shiyu had never forgotten that only by following Master Chu’s instructions before his death and obtaining all the dragon scales could he save the lives of everyone in the world.
Master Chu did not follow his words just for the sake of the Heavenly Master’s safety. He knew how important the dragon’s scale was to the entire Nine Nether Domain.
Master Chu slowly stood up. Actually, in her heart, she had already thought of this a long time ago. It was just that with her strength alone, it was too weak.
Now, Yu Wuyou actually had this thought, and it was not because they were working together, but if they were to gather five dragon scales and open Ethereal Opening, who would be the ruler of the world?
“Yu Wu You, to be honest, I had the same thought this morning, it was just that I was too naive and weak to think about it, I just wanted to protect the Heavenly Master. If you cooperate with me, we can get all the dragon scales together. As long as you do not betray the world in the future, I am willing to personally offer Heavenly Master Country’s dragon scales to help you activate the Nine Nether Energy. ”
Seeing how serious she was, Yu Wuyou raised his head and mocked, “You don’t think that I want to be the master of this world do you?”
“I know that you won’t. After all, the dragon’s scale is related to the fate of the heavens and the earth. You, as a righteous person, will not disappoint the people of this world. I believe in you.”
The reason why she made such a decision was entirely because of her father. It was still better for them to obtain the dragon scales than for Sikong Xun.
At the very least, it would be able to protect the world from being annihilated, and prevent the entire nine nether regions from becoming purgatory.
Yu Wuyou only smiled. He didn’t even spare a glance for the throne of one of his southern neighbors, let alone the Lord of the Nine Nether Realm.
“It’s still too early to talk about this. If our thoughts are the same, we might as well think of a way to obtain the five dragon scales. When the time comes, the master of this world can decide who is the better one, so our hearts do not wish for this world to become a purgatory of the human world.”
“That’s right, the world is restless. How can there be the peace of a Heavenly Master?” Why don’t you and I swear an oath together to take down five dragon scales and protect Tartarus together, preventing it from being annihilated. ”
“I, Yu Wuyou, am willing to swear an oath that we will obtain the dragon scales together to protect the world …”
Master Chu cut a hole in the palm of his hand with his dagger and dripped his blood into a wine cup.
He then handed the dagger to Yu Wuyou, and cut open his palm to drip a few drops of blood.
After having shared life and death with each other several times, they had a tacit trust in each other. They could disagree, but they wouldn’t go back on their words. Right now, they just wanted to deal with Murong Shi Chou first.
Yu Wuyou started by practising his Emptiness Realm Technique and knew how to deal with Murong Shi Chou.
Master Chu had inherited Ji Wuqing’s legacy, which was also Murong Shixiong’s nemesis. He had set up a voodoo Gu formation in the city, and as long as he passed by, he would be able to detect it.
On a rainy night when the sky was filled with thunder and lightning, Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou sat inside the Changping Hall, only to see a few red spiders crawling on top of a veil.
Chu Shiyu put her hand on the hanging veil. A spider quickly crawled over, bit her hand, and left.
