The scent of blood in the forest grew stronger and stronger.

Just as Zhu Yan finished bandaging the Scarlet Scorpion's wounds, Duan Chengxuan had already led his men to slaughter the enemy's group of black-clothed soldiers. The two daggers in Duan Chengxuan's hands were already stuck to the flesh and blood, making the smell of rust difficult to wipe clean with the leaves.

Hong Xiao, who was at the back, pierced the throat of the last person. Half of his face was covered in blood, but he still respectfully walked to Duan Chengxuan's side. "My prince, not a single person remains."

"This group of black-clothed soldiers know the seriousness of the situation." Duan Chengxuan impatiently threw all the daggers that were difficult to clean to Hong Xiao.

These people were like clouds and mud compared to the black clothed soldiers they had encountered before.

Not only were these black clothed soldiers talkative, but their reactions were also slow. They did not look like an orderly army like before, but instead like a temporarily trained team of horse bandits.

In the end, only a dozen of them would be able to kill all thirty of them.

Hong Xiao opened a man's mouth and looked at his teeth, but didn't discover any poisonous substance. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said, "My lord, they are not death warriors at all. It seems like they think that these people are more than enough to deal with this siblings and their people."

"Right." Duan Chengxuan nodded indifferently, then walked over to Zhu Yan with a cold expression. "Why are you two here?"

"We are only preparing to go to Eldan, and we will be ambushed halfway. It doesn't matter which path we take, we'll be able to encounter these black-clothed men." Zhu Yan wiped the sweat off his face. He bent down and pulled up the Scarlet Scorpion. Along the way, he also put away her long whip and tied it around her waist.

A pained groan came from the scorpion's throat as it continued, "Not only that, we also know what they want?"

The beautiful woman from before was now in a miserable state. Even the heroic spirit that was left on her body had been completely erased.

"What is it?" "Just now, you said that you would deliver it to Madam. Who do you mean?" Hong Xiao quickly walked over and gestured for his subordinates to clean up the place while it was dark, trying not to expose the location of the cove.

However, the siblings frowned, unwilling to say what it was.

"Although I do not know why you are unwilling to tell us, but this is our territory and we can throw you out at any time. The beasts in the mountains might like the shriveled flesh on your bodies." Hong Xiao rubbed his nose and stomped his feet, looking impatient.

The Scarlet Scorpion glared at this rude man with dissatisfaction. While his brother was still conflicted, he opened his mouth first and said, "In fact, it's only a sheepskin scroll that my father told us about before he left. We only found out that their goal was the sheepskin scroll when we were being chased down, so we temporarily hid him."

"Give it to Yan'Er?" Duan Cheng Xuan asked.

"Of course I want to personally hand it over to her. If you hand it over to us, who knows how much trouble it will bring. My father has dedicated his life to it, I don't want it." Red Scorpion pursed his lips as if he had thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I remember that there were rumors that the ancestors of the Yun clan were already struck by lightning, and now there are rumours that they found some kind of pool of blood rattan to live forever and not die. Is this news all Gu Liuyan's doing?"

Duan Chengxuan nodded indifferently. "What does this have to do with the sheepskin scroll?"

"Then she's in danger!" Beside him, Hong Xiao still remembered that Duan Chengxuan didn't like other girls touching him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Xie. However, she was incomparably excited when he said, "When my father died, Gu Cheng's men took the other half of the sheepskin scroll. We only have half of it in our hands!"

"They'll only come and take half of what you have." Hong Xiao was baffled.

"However, the things in the tombs of the Yun Ancestors are the key to everything. Furthermore, although the Blood Vine beneath the pool she mentioned is nothing, this story has indeed guessed a portion of it. If Gu Cheng knew that this news was spread by Gu Liuyan, he would definitely snatch it away from Gu Liuyan!" "On the scroll, Tyrant built a shrine for immortality. There is a deep pond in there, and it's meant to put a piece of the Divine Wood into water until it's dyed red with water."

"What does this Divine Wood mean?" Hong Xiao swallowed his saliva. If that was the case, then it really did seem like the story of the Blood Vine under the pool.

"They are the ribs of the immortal. We need to dye them red, and the sheepskin scroll in our hands says that this red substance needs to be dyed with human flesh and blood." At this point, the Scarlet Scorpion fiercely coughed a few times, then looked at Duan Chengxuan as his expression became worse and worse. He then said, "But the sheepskin scroll mentioned that half of it is true, and the other half is false. But what if Gu Cheng believed it? "He definitely won't let go of someone like Gu Danyan, who is so close to the truth."

No ancient book in the world was completely unreasonable.

The Blood Vine under the pool that Gu Liuyan was talking about must have had some story behind it.

Duan Chengxuan clenched his fists tightly. "I won't let her run around and talk nonsense in the future."

"That's right …" Hong Xiao laughed dryly as well. "Your Highness has guessed it too accurately."

"Most of what she says and does are based on facts. There are few groundless rumors." At this moment, Duan Chengxuan was slightly frowning. If he were to carefully recall it, then Gu Pingyan had guessed a little bit correctly about this Immortal Deity Technique.

The Scarlet Scorpion did not mention anything about the location just now. It was likely that this so-called key point was the Feng Shui that the Yun Ancestor had left behind on the stone tablet. Not only did they have to do all these, they also had to find the right location.

"Where do you put the remaining half of the parchment?" Duan Cheng Xuan finally opened her mouth.

Before the scorpion could say anything, Zhu Yan, who was behind her, had already covered her mouth and pulled her to her side, "We will only personally deliver them to Yun Dian or Gu Daiyan, not anyone else."

"Did our prince and that prince …"

Hong Xiao looked curiously at Duan Chengxuan's arm that was in front of him and stopped talking.

"Right now, gather everyone and return home. We will light up the smoke and ask for help from Er Dan and inform him that King Jing was being hunted down. Now that he has been saved by Er Dan, he will still need to rest for a period of time." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and said, "I'll bring all of you to personally deliver the items into Yan'Er's hands."

"Your Highness!" Hong Xiao shrieked, "If you swagger back to Navy Tide in such a manner, how many people would say that you're working with outsiders to obtain the throne, even if the emperor trusts you, those court officials …"

"No need for that. Just say that I am still unconscious and that I will be escorted back." Duan Chengxuan stared coldly at his. "Yan'er's health is not good, so I can't receive any more threats."

Hong Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded his head. "According to your majesty's order, return to the clan and inform them for help. Everyone is neatly equipped. When they see the black clothed soldiers, ask for help!"
