When Long Ao Tian had gone to steal the dragon's scale, Yu Wuyou had seized the initiative. After taking the dragon's scale, Long Ao Tian had fought with Yu Wuyou in the palace's secret chamber.

Afraid of alerting the imperial guards, the two did not linger in the secret chamber for too long and quickly evacuated. Who knew what kind of person it was that killed Li Rui not long after the dragon's scale thief left.

This Long Ao Tian had been wrongly accused, but he had always done things in such a way, he was not afraid of offending people, and he did not fear being accused of anything, only this time he wanted to defend himself.

Just as he was speaking, Yu Wuyou's figure appeared from outside the hall, injuring a few guards. He rushed to the main hall and threw a smile to Master Chu.

"Yu Wuyou, return the dragon's scale to me!"

As soon as Master Chu saw Yu Wuyou, he immediately drew back to give chase. The dagger was aimed straight at his chest, forcing Yu Wuyou to retreat.

Long Ao Tian wiped off the sweat from his forehead, he was controlled and had a dagger hidden on his body, if he had really helped her during her wedding night, wouldn't he be dead for sure?

Watching the two fight their way out, Long Ao Tian slowly walked out of the hall. He couldn't let the two of them destroy his old nest right!

"Hey, stop. The dragon's scale is not here. Listen to my explanation." Yu Wuyou explained as he blocked the incoming attack.

Master Chu stopped after hearing that. "Where did you say the dragon's scale went? That day when I checked the secret chambers in the palace, the hall was filled with the scent of your medicine. If not for you, why would you be in the secret chambers in the palace? "

"While I have been to a secret chamber before, the box that contains the dragon scales is empty. The dragon scales have long since been taken by someone else."

"I will not believe you again. From the very beginning, the reason why you deliberately approached me was precisely for the sake of obtaining the dragon's scale, no?"

"It really wasn't me …"

Before Yu Wuyou could finish speaking, the dagger suddenly stabbed towards his chest! However, the blood that flowed out of his body was black.

When the dagger stabbed into his body, it suddenly became like a block of ice that went straight into his senses.

This was the second time she had used the same dagger to injure him, but it seemed that in his hands, there was a sadness that could cause tears.

Master Chu watched as black blood seeped out from Yu Wuyou's chest, slowly regaining his senses, and released the hand that was holding the dagger.

Yu Wuyou took out his dagger and sneered: This dagger is called Chen Yin, it cuts iron like mud, melts when it meets ice, solidifies when it encounters water, turns red when it encounters poison, blackens when it meets blood, a single tear can cleanse the evil Qi on the edge of the blade, and let me teach you how to use it?

She was suddenly stunned. This dagger was something she had only learned after using it for the past few years, and yet he knew everything about it.

"Who the hell are you?"

Yu Wuyou did not answer, but used his hand to retrieve a drop of congealed blood from the dagger and applied it to his wound.

The hole in his chest slowly closed and mysteriously disappeared, leaving only a faint mark that was similar to the color of his skin.

He held a dagger in his hand as he stared at the confused Chu Shiyu and coldly said, "If you want to know who I am, then come to your southern neighbor and find me."

After she finished speaking, she leaned out of the door and disappeared without a trace. Even after she chased him for a while, she still could not find any trace of Yu Wuyou!

At this time, Long Ao Tian also chased them into the forest, stopping the departing Master Chu!

"What is it? You still want to stop me? My mother is no longer related to the Long family, and you and I are strangers. My mother's death has nothing to do with you, so of course I won't pester you.

Long Ao Tian did not plan on giving in, but slowly stepped forward, handing her a green ring!

"No matter what, you have the blood of the Long family on you. This thumb ring was left behind by your mother. I am returning it to its original owner."

I'll keep it. One more thing, the dragon scale does not belong to the Long family, it only belongs to the entire Nine Hell sect. Do not try to obtain it, and hope that after today, the Heavenly Master and the Dragon Domain will owe each other nothing.

With heavy steps, he stepped onto the pathway in the forest and left slowly.

Long Ao Tian used his deep eyes to look at her back as she left, the Fire Lion by his side softly nuzzling his clothes.

Long Ao Tian lowered his head, and said meaningfully to the Fire Lion: "If you want to go, then go. Protect her well. If even a hair of her body is hurt, I will test you."

After the Fiery Lion heard this, it immediately wagged its fiery red tail and fled into the forest!

Chu Shiyu had just left the jungle when she turned back to look into it. She knew that the reason she hadn't encountered any ferocious beasts along the way was because of the Fire Lion's following. Although he could not guess why it would keep following him, he knew that it did not intend to harm him.

Just as she stopped to bid farewell to the Fiery Lion, a few people suddenly scuttled out from the small path in front of them. She took a closer look and saw that it was Ji Feng and a troop of elite soldiers.

"General Ji …"

Before the Mentor could attack, a Fire Lion leapt out from behind them and pounced towards Ji Feng and the others.

She was greatly alarmed and immediately shouted, "No!"

When the Fire Li Lion heard this, it slowly retreated back to her side. Ji Feng and the rest were quite frightened, they had not seen such a monster in their many years of war.

But seeing that it had become docile after listening to Chu Shiyu's words, it was finally relieved and stepped forward to welcome him.

Ji Feng looked at Fire Lion, took a deep breath, and bowed as he reported: "Grand Princess, the Heavenly Master is in trouble, and I am in charge of the spy report. The Great Cang Emperor, Sikong Ming, is reorganizing his troops and preparing to send his troops to the Heavenly Master, what should we do now?"

Master Chu said calmly, "General Ji, there is no need to be anxious. The main warehouse is very far from the Heavenly Master's location, and we still have to pass through the southern borders. If they want to use a large number of troops to pass through the southern borders, even the southern borders might not agree. Even if I really can go out and fight against a Heavenly Master, with the speed of the army, it would take them at least three months to reach the Heavenly Master Realm.

Ji Feng nodded his head in agreement. This was also the best he could do at the moment, but there was still time to stop him.

However, Long Lin had yet to be found. Chu Shiyu could not abandon the safety of the Heavenly Master to find Yu Wuyou, and could only follow Ji Feng back to the Yan Master.

It was only a matter of time before Big Cang would send troops at the Heavenly Master Stage, and Master Chu also knew that. However, what she needed the most now was time, and she couldn't wait to get a few more clones out and solve the problem.

When Master Chu returned to Yan Shi, other than worrying about whether Big Cang would send troops at any time, the political situation of the Heavenly Master was relatively stable. As for the matter of Yi and Hou Wenchang helping Master Chu, she was very much at ease.

In order to confirm if the dragon's scale was stolen by Yu Wuyou, she went back to the secret room in the Heaven and Earth Palace. There were some traces of a fight, and the scent of herbs on Yu Wuyou's body.

However, there was an extra white hair on the side of the box containing the dragon's scale.

The hair was thick and sturdy, not like a natural hair. If it was an elder's hair, then it would not be so sturdy, and it could easily break apart upon contact. However, this hair was solid and smooth, and shouldn't be that old.

She knew that she had been careless, and that in the secret chamber, other than Yu Wuyou and Long Ao Tian, there was another person. Master Chu put that hair back into his bag before stepping out of the secret room.

Returning to her own Changping Hall, she saw that the entire hall was a mess. She sighed and shook her head before stepping onto the beauty seat. She didn't expect the beauty to collapse in an instant, scaring Chu Shiyu so much that he hurriedly pulled away.

He scolded angrily, "Bastard, this princess' palace has been destroyed by you two, can you still let me have a peaceful sleep?"
