CH 92

Silence.

A long silence.

After a while, Chu Liang weakly spoke, "When he had a head, he was called Lord Ding Shan."

"Ding? That surname sounds strange..." Di Nvfeng exclaimed.

"Is it possible... that it's a title?" Chu Liang sighed.

When he heard that Young Marquis intended to kill someone by the river, Chu Liang immediately crushed the jade token and summoned his master. Since Young Marquis was not a fool, he must have sent someone strong enough to kill him if he set up an ambush. Without knowing the enemy's arrangement, Chu Liang quickly sent out a distress call.

However, this was not a teleportation token, so even if Di Nvfeng received the message and rushed over, it would still take some time. He had intended to delay for time, but unfortunately, Young Marquis did not give him that opportunity and directly ordered Lu Shi to attack.

Thanks to the power of the Zhan Hong Ming Jian, Lu Shi managed to avoid Di Nvfeng's punch. From this perspective, he should thank Chu Liang.

After that, things changed too quickly. Young Marquis escaped... Chu Liang pursued... Lord Ding Shan surrounded them. In reality, it all happened in a blink of an eye. When Di Nvfeng arrived, Lord Ding Shan was about to make his move.

The reason why Chu Liang decisively abandoned his sword was because he saw his master's arrival. Otherwise, he would have tried to delay for more time. In this regard, Lin Bei's appearance played a crucial role, or else they might not have been able to wait for the master's arrival.

Every second of Chu Liang's conversation with Lord Ding Shan was a reduction in his life value, but Lord Ding Shan was completely unaware at the time.

Looking at the body that still stood tall, Chu Liang couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

I'm waiting for my master to arrive, what are you waiting for?

But he was a member of the royal family, a hereditary marquis, and a cultivator at the sixth realm. Di Nvfeng killed him with a punch without even asking what the matter was. It was truly unexpected for everyone present.

"Oh, Marquis." Di Nvfeng waved her hand, still acting nonchalant.

Even if she knew the other party's identity, was there really no worry at all? Did she have to sound so indifferent? Many people couldn't help but criticize her in their hearts.

She seemed to be completely unaware of being the center of attention and walked towards Chu Liang. The guards of the marquis's mansion around her automatically made way and dared not make a move... or perhaps they couldn't make a move, and could only stand still.

Lin Bei, who had been suppressed by Lord Ding Shan just now, suddenly jumped up and leaped onto the stage. He shook his head lightly at the body, "You see, this is the consequence of not giving me face."

Then he immediately turned his head and followed Di Nvfeng, showing a flattering smile, "Senior Di Nvfeng, you are truly amazing. I admire you endlessly..."

Di Nvfeng was examining Chu Liang's injuries when she saw him approaching and asked, "Are you also from Shu Mountain? Which peak?"

"I..." Lin Bei stopped himself before he finished speaking and smiled awkwardly, "It doesn't matter which peak I'm from. What matters is that I am the best friend of Silver Sword Peak. I have always believed that Senior Di Nvfeng is the strongest among the thirty-six peak masters!"

"Alright, remember to spread the word for me when you go back." Di Nvfeng chuckled.

"It's my duty!" Lin Bei straightened his chest and then looked somewhat worried, "But Marquis is a member of the royal family and a marquis by inheritance. Senior, is it really okay to kill him without asking anything?"

"I saw him trying to kill my disciple as soon as I arrived. What else is there to ask?" Di Nvfeng said confidently.

...

Hearing his master say this, Chu Liang felt a bit emotional. It was hard not to be moved by such pure protection of one's disciple.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, Lord Ding Shan has engaged in human trafficking, taken lives, and done all sorts of evil deeds. Killing him is absolutely justified, even if it causes trouble with the court."

"I knew it..." His master smiled proudly, "I, Di Nvfeng, have always been righteous. How could I randomly kill people?"

Lin Bei pursed his lips and dared not speak.

"I think the real concern now is another issue." Chu Liang said weakly.

"What?" Both of them looked at him.

Chu Liang said, "My injuries have been unable to heal. If this continues, I probably won't make it."

For cultivators, as long as their inner energy is abundant and their vitality is strong, as long as the external injuries are not fatal at the time, they can heal quickly afterwards. If they use their true energy to heal, the speed may be even faster.

During the previous time, Chu Liang had been trying to use his true energy to heal, but the effect was not optimistic.

Lu Shi's seemingly ordinary slash carried a soul-crushing and bone-eroding power, causing his wounds to remain unhealed and the bleeding to continue. Even for a cultivator, it would be difficult to survive under such circumstances.

"I don't know any healing techniques..." Di Nvfeng pondered, "But don't worry, if you really can't make it, I am quite skilled in cremation."

Cultivators were like this. Even if their cultivation level was high, they would be helpless in certain specific situations without the corresponding magical techniques.

Chu Liang looked at his master with teary eyes.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Di Nvfeng said, "I'll take you back to Shu Mountain for treatment as soon as possible.""Master Uncle, at your flying speed, he might have already breathed his last by the time we reach Shu Mountain." Lin Bei quietly advised from the side. He had previously suffered from Di Nvfeng's hellish flying experience, "I suggest we find a nearby cultivator who is proficient in healing."

As they were discussing, a soft voice came from behind, "Um... I can try to heal Hero Chu."

Turning their heads, they saw a beautiful woman holding a zither case standing on the stage. It was Xue Lingxue.

Di Nvfeng looked at her, her eyes brightening, "What a pretty girl, what's your name, where do you live..."

"Master Uncle, I know all of that, let me tell you..." Lin Bei quickly interrupted her, "Let Miss Xue heal Chu Liang first."

Well, it turned out she was a hidden female rogue.

Xue Lingxue was also a bit unlucky today. It was her first tour in her career, and she had chosen this place as the first stop. She had some ambitions and knew she had to perform well.

Who knew that before she could even go on stage, such a drama would unfold.

A disciple of Shu Mountain had bound the Young Marquis, and a woman in red had killed Lord Ding Shan...

After such an exciting drama, the audience had almost forgotten why they had come in the first place, as the limelight was completely stolen.

Seeing Chu Liang in such a state, she finally found an opportunity to go on stage. Although the disciples of Nanyin Square were not professional healers, most of them did have some healing abilities.

Xue Lingxue spread out her zither case and began to play.

Dong--

The sound of the zither was melodious.

"This song is called 'Pǔ Shàn's Song of Spring Return'..." The musician behind her explained to the two from Shu Mountain, "It is our healing sacred song from Nanyin Square, and it is also Sister Xue's specialty. You can rest assured."

"Rest assured, I am very reassured." Di Nvfeng looked at Xue Lingxue, praising her, "You know, these girls who study art, they just have a good temperament."

"Indeed..." Lin Bei nodded in agreement, "Miss Xue's figure, beauty, inner qualities, temperament... there's simply no flaw."

"...Really tempting..."

"...I wouldn't mind living ten years less..."

The musician behind them listened to their intermittent conversation, a series of black question marks involuntarily popping up from his forehead.

Goodness.

Are there any decent people in Shu Mountain?
