Chu Yang murmured, "Such a strong killing intent must belong to a general who has retired from the army."
The two sides passed each other.
The young people surrounding the old man silently reached for the weapons at their waists, seemingly wary of Chu Yang and his group.
Seeing how wary this group of people was, Chu Yang became interested in their identities.
Just then, the old man suddenly stopped and whispered to the nearest young man, "Tang Yu, go ask for directions."
The young man bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Yes, Godfather!"
The two whispered conversation did not escape Chu Yang's ears, and his expression changed.
Tang Yu?
Foster father?
Chu Yang roughly knew who these people were.
The elderly man at the head of the group should be Shi Gonghu, a founding elder of the Nanzhao Kingdom, who is also the adoptive father of Shi Jieren, the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.
He was the one who single-handedly nurtured this great demon who was on the verge of destroying the world.
In a way, it could be said that he cultivated the first scientist in the world of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts)...
Besides Shi Gonghu, a group of Southern Barbarian generals' subordinates also came to the Central Plains with him.
The young man was his other adopted son, Tang Yu. Learning from Shi Jieren's experience, Shi Gonghu was very strict with Tang Yu's upbringing.
Tang Yu's pedantry far surpassed that of Liu Jinyuan, who was a scholar.
Seeing Tang Yu walking towards him, Chu Yang had a new idea in his mind.
With Zhao Ling'er's whereabouts unknown, every additional person adds to the strength. With this in mind, Chu Yang took the initiative to ask for their help.
Are you all heading to Immortal Spirit Island to search for someone?
Tang Yu suddenly stopped in her tracks, a look of shock on her face.
Shi Gonghu, who was walking at the front of the group, also heard the sound and turned around to stare at Chu Yang.
As a result, the entire team turned around in unison, creating an atmosphere of impending doom.
Xu Changqing sensed something was wrong and, recalling the Moon Worshipers they had encountered before, mistakenly assumed that this group of people were also members of the Moon Worshipers.
A flash of cold light, and the longsword was drawn!
Xu Changqing said coldly, "You bunch of people are really persistent!"
Shi Gonghu's men all drew their weapons, all of them standard curved swords, which were very similar to the weapons of the Moon Worship Cult.
Even Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but draw his sword and confront them.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Chu Yang looked at Xu Changqing with a puzzled expression: "Do you two have a grudge?"
Please vote with your monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!!!
Chapter 137. The Sword Saint Uncle is hated by everyone! Liu Jinyuan's sudden change in style!
137.
Why is this thing so easily startled?
Chu Yang looked at Xu Changqing, not knowing what to say for a moment. He said something to someone else, then turned around and his senior brother was about to draw his sword to kill him.
The guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes became increasingly irritable after coming down the mountain.
Shi Gonghu then stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I wonder what advice you young heroes have for me? It seems we've only just met by chance. Could it be that we've unintentionally broken any local rules?"
Li Xiaoyao sneered, "Still pretending? The people you sent not long ago were all killed by us. You must be getting anxious because you haven't received any news, right?"
Completely bewildered, Shi Gonghu beckoned Tang Yu to his side and asked in a low voice, "Did His Majesty send anyone else before?"
Tang Yu was even more bewildered than him, her eyes revealing a clear sense of foolishness.
Shi Gonghu sighed and waved to him.
Go play somewhere else!
Seeing his godfather's disappointed look, Tang Yu knew he had failed to satisfy him again, so he retreated dejectedly.
Chu Yang, his brows furrowed, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Li Xiaoyao said casually, "Those are the Moon Worshipers I buried. Didn't you burn their bodies, brother?"
Shi Gonghu's gaze was solemn.
The others were horrified!
At this moment, Shi Gonghu realized that the three young men in front of him were probably not enemies. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yu asked first, "How did you know about the Moon Worship Cult?"
"Finally, he's shown his true colors!" Li Xiaoyao flashed forward and attacked Tang Yu. Because of Ling'er's disappearance, he had been holding back his anger, and now he finally found a place to vent it.
Tang Yu was no ordinary person either. The moment Li Xiaoyao made his move, he instinctively drew his sword to block.
He not only blocked Li Xiaoyao's sword strike, but also used his superb skills to deflect most of the force, launching a counterattack at the very moment when Li Xiaoyao's attack was about to end.
The longsword pierced Li Xiaoyao's right shoulder at an odd angle. The latter lacked combat experience and had no time to react, watching helplessly as the longsword pierced his shoulder.
Bang!
Li Xiaoyao's sword fell from his hand, and Tang Yu did not press his advantage but retreated to Shi Gonghu's side.
Tang Yu had expected to receive praise from his godfather, but Shi Gonghu glared at him instead, making Tang Yu feel wronged.
"Brother Li!"
Xu Changqing stepped forward to check Li Xiaoyao's injuries and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the wounds were not deep.
Chu Yang directly shoved a blood bodhi seed into Li Xiaoyao's mouth, and the latter swallowed it before he could react.
"Brother Chu, what did you give me to eat? I feel so hot!"
The Blood Bodhi transformed into vital energy that surged through Li Xiaoyao's body, causing the wound on his shoulder to heal at a visible speed.
After treating his injuries, Blood Bodhi began to replenish Li Xiaoyao's internal energy.
One blood bodhi seed can save an ordinary person from decades of arduous cultivation.
Seeing the miraculous effects of the Blood Bodhi, Shi Gonghu became increasingly interested in the identities of these young people.
"Young heroes, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us!"
“We are not followers of the Moon Worship Cult, but people from the Nanzhao Kingdom. We have come to the Central Plains on important business.”
"How did you young heroes get involved with the Moon Worship Cult?"
Shi Gonghu's extremely polite attitude caused Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao to waver in their judgment.
Chu Yang laughed and said, "I see that you are neither ordinary citizens of Nanzhao, nor are you followers of the Moon Worship Cult..."
Shi Gonghu's lips curled up. "Oh? In your opinion, young hero, who should we be?"
Chu Yang replied calmly, "A soldier."
The smile on Shi Gonghu's face disappeared, and he slowly nodded, "Young hero, you have good taste."
Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao looked surprised.
Tang Yu and his subordinates looked tense, and also seemed eager to make a move.
“If you are on the orders of the King of Nanzhao to go to Xianling Island to find Zhao Ling’er, then there is no need for that. The Baiyue Sect has already gone there before you.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Gonghu's expression turned solemn. The other party had revealed their identities in a single sentence and even directly mentioned Zhao Ling'er, which meant that they must have had some contact with Zhao Ling'er.
Has the Moon Worship Cult found Zhao Ling'er before them?
Shi Gonghu clenched his fists, his aura boiling, clearly furious to the extreme!
Li Xiaoyao and Xu Changqing also realized the identities of this group of people.
Xu Changqing said in a low voice, "Junior brother, you knew all along, why didn't you remind us?"
Li Xiaoyao looked at Chu Yang with a similarly aggrieved expression, having been struck by a sword for no reason.
Chu Yang retorted irritably, "How would I know what's wrong with you all? Did you even ask me? You drew your swords faster than I could speak, how could I possibly have time to say anything?"
Xu Changqing looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if nothing had happened.
Li Xiaoyao quickly lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his toes, afraid of being scolded.
"May I ask what the relationship is between this young hero and our princess? Could you please tell us the princess's current whereabouts...?"
Anxious and worried, Tang Yu went directly to Chu Yang and asked him.
"It's a long story. We're also with Zhao Ling'er. As for our relationship..." Chu Yang pointed to Li Xiaoyao and said, "This is Zhao Ling'er's husband. According to the proper address, you should call him the Prince Consort."
Everyone was shocked!
Shi Gonghu looked displeased. What qualifications did this guy, who couldn't even beat Tang Yu, have to be the son-in-law of their Nanzhao Kingdom?
Tang Yu didn't think so much about it. Upon hearing that Li Xiaoyao was Zhao Ling'er's husband, he quickly apologized to him.
