Chapter 234 - The Emperor Star found out that the Herba Brassicae was stolen?

Feng Wuyou was also surprised to see Murong Shaoxuan standing tall and straight against the wind. She then realized, that since the ancient times, there had been many unknown secrets, so the things that Dong Heng did not want to do, was most likely just a pretense!

When Murong Shaoxuan heard this, she no longer looked at Feng Wuyou. Instead, she turned her head to look at Leng Qianqiu and Huyan Ruijin, and a smile which was still as indifferent as before appeared on her gentle and elegant face. Her pleasant voice slowly sounded, "Emperor Darknorth should understand, there are many things in this world that cannot be known by outsiders."

"Haha …" King Xuan's words are reasonable. " Hearing that, Leng Qianqiu could not help but burst out laughing. It seemed that this time in middle canal, other than the Herba Brassicae, there was also this little thing.

As he thought joyfully, his gaze swept over the two of them again. His deep and dark eyes carried a hint of danger: "However, I am curious, is King Xuan planning to make an enemy of me by doing this?"

"I don't dare." Murong Shaoxuan said coldly: "It's only that I made an agreement with the Young Master Wuyou first. This king's actions, is only to protect my own allies." After speaking indifferently, he raised the flexible sword in his hand. There was no intention to dodge.

"Allies?" After Leng Qianqiu finished listening, he glanced at Feng Wuyou, who was not far behind him with a smile that was yet not a smile, and a dark look flashed across her handsome face. This little thing, could be a male pet for Baili Yi Chen, could become an ally with Murong Shaoxuan, yet actually reject him?

Thinking about it this way, his possessive will towards Feng Wuyou also changed from thirty percent to seventy percent! After laughing for a while, his face was filled with a dark ruthlessness. "If that's the case, then I'd like to see the strength of King Xuan!" With that, he turned and looked at Huyan Ruijin.

The meaning was obvious, it was a warning to him about the situation in front of him. It was very clear, Murong Shaoxuan and Feng Wuyou had already formed an alliance, if the two of them did not end up together, perhaps no one would be able to obtain the Herba Brassicae.

Huyan Ruijin was startled for a moment. She naturally understood Leng Qianqiu's intentions. However, he had originally not wanted to interfere in the fight between Leng Qianqiu and the two of them. After all, after the two of them fought, with his martial arts, it would be enough to deal with Feng Wuyou.

However, the hint in Leng Qianqiu's eyes was very obvious. If he did not ally with him today, perhaps he would drag him down and give Feng Wuyou the chance to escape. After thinking for a moment, he also stepped forward. "Just nice, this king also wants to seek advice from King Xuan."

Seeing that, Feng Wuyou knew that the two of them had allied together. At this moment, she was not in the mood to care why Murong Shaoxuan's leg was not crippled, nor was she in the mood to watch them fight. All she wanted to do was to quickly leave this place. With that, she turned and ran.

Inside the bamboo leaves, only Murong Shaoxuan remained, as she confronted Leng Qianqiu and Huyan Ruijin.

Not long after that, waves of inner force burst out from the depths of the bamboo forest, creating a magical scene.

… ….

Xiao Lie brought the real Herba Brassicae and ran all the way.

He knew that the thing he was carrying on his back was real, and he also knew how important it was to Feng Wuyou. As a follower who was loyal to his master, he only had one thought in his heart, and that was to complete the mission given by his master.

However, just as he was about to run out of the bamboo forest and take a detour, he saw a figure standing in front of him. A white robe covered his face, and an exquisite silver mask covered his face.

Wasn't he the masked guy that came with Huyan Ruijin?

Xiao Lie looked at the figure not far away, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He stopped and slowly retreated, wanting to escape. However, the moment he turned around, he realized that he could not move a single step.

The situation before his eyes made Xiao Lie's face change. Looking at the person whose expression was hazy, Xiao Lie was extremely anxious in his heart. This damned man!

This was the first time Master had brought him out for a mission. Could it be that the first mission was going to be completed because of him!?

"Hand over the Herba Brassicae and I can spare your life!" Mask Beautiful Man looked at Xiao Lie whose face was a little pale. His soft voice flowed out from the delicate lips under the mask.

Hearing that, Xiao Lie turned his body, allowing the box behind him to escape Mask Beautiful Man's line of sight. Although he was extremely anxious in his heart, he still forced himself to remain calm: "Don't even think about it!"

When the Mask Beautiful Man heard him, a cold smile appeared on his face. Then, his expression turned serious, and a mass of blood-colored bat formed from his inner force flapped his wings and roared at Xiao Lie. In that moment, Xiao Lie was trapped inside the blood-colored bat, unable to move.

"Don't —!" No matter how anxious Xiao Lie was, the Herba Brassicae strapped to his back also flew out quickly.

The box fell onto the ground not far away, but Mask Beautiful Man, who was behind Xiao Lie, seemed to be affected by some kind of sickness from using his Qi. His eyes and mouth violently coughed a few times, and only until bright red foam appeared between his white and glossy fingers, was he barely able to hold it in.

Finally, he took out a plain silk handkerchief from his waist and carefully wiped off the blood at the tips of his fingers and the corner of his lips. After that, he threw the silk handkerchief to the side. After doing all of this, he tilted his head and looked at Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie was trapped inside the blood-colored bat and struggled desperately. The mission Master had given him was to protect the Herba Brassicae. As long as he did not die, he could not just watch this man snatch the Herba Brassicae away. "You're a man, how can you bully a little kid like this?

Mask Beautiful Man glanced at Xiao Lie as if he was too lazy to care about him. He extended his hand towards the package on the ground and the box on the ground flew into his hands.

When the lid of the box was opened, inside the box, there was a burst of colorful light, causing Mask Beautiful Man to smile slightly. Under the mask, his deep eyes also flashed with light, and a clear voice slowly sounded out: "It really is a Herba Brassicae!" From his tone, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

However, in just an instant, the smile on her delicate lips froze.

After placing the case under his nose and carefully sniffing it, a sense of confusion surfaced in his eyes. He stared blankly for a good while before he closed the box and tilted his head as he looked at Xiao Lie with an expression that others couldn't understand.

And at this moment, because Xiao Lie was being bound by the blood-colored bat, his face was turning even paler, and he was gradually showing signs of fainting.

With a wave of his hand, the blood-colored bat that was trapping Xiao Lie immediately flew away, and all of them dissipated in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Following that, the weakened Xiao Lie fell onto the ground. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the few images that appeared in front of him, and as if he had no consciousness, he opened his mouth and said: "Give me back my Herba Brassicae, my Herba Brassicae, return me my …" At that moment, he was only thinking of Herba Brassicae.

Seeing that, the Mask Beautiful Man smiled. Xiao Lie, because he was suppressed by his Qi, was weak, and only needed to inject some Qi.

He extended his long arm, and unexpectedly pulled Xiao Lie up, and then decisively made his move, knocking Xiao Lie out.

Then, he took off a piece of cloth from his clothes and placed it in his hand. Then, he activated his technique and gave Xiao Lie some of his inner strength so that he could pass this trial!

After doing all of this, he wrapped the box containing the Herba Brassicae in a serious manner, and then coughed a few times.

Not long after, Xiao Lie woke up.

His first instinct was to stand up and observe the situation. Only then did he realize that he was being tied up by a rope. And not far away, it was that Mask Beautiful Man!

Xiao Lie was startled, and thought about how this man used his Qi to transform into a blood-colored bat, causing him to vomit blood. At this moment, his eyes were closed, as if he was recuperating.

He quietly sat up and realized his backpack wasn't too far away. While carefully observing Mask Beautiful Man's expression, he grabbed a sharp and angled rock from the ground and sharpened the rope on his wrist.

Not long after, the rope was cut and Xiao Lie regained his freedom.

Looking at the bundle not far away, Xiao Lie carefully touched it, gently opening it, and discovered that — Herba Brassicae was still there?

Looking at the flower within the box that was glowing with a rainbow light, Xiao Lie finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the masked guy didn't have much stamina. After using his internal force, he was unable to support his escape. Otherwise, how would he be able to retrieve such an important item?!

He quickly closed the box and picked it up. While the masked man was still recovering, he leaped and disappeared.

What he did not know was that after he disappeared, the masked man who was pretending to regulate his breathing suddenly opened his eyes. Looking at the direction he disappeared in, his delicate lips curled up into a strange smile.

He had already done enough tricks, he believed that he would definitely be able to deceive this brat, Xiao Lie. Thinking about what would happen next, he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Baili Mingyue, you have already lived for over twenty years with ease. It is about time for you to experience the feeling of your beloved one betraying you.

… ….

Feng Wuyou flew all the way, and when she arrived at the outer court, she saw Wu Hen, Mo Xi and the rest already waiting for him there. Seeing that Feng Wuyou had returned, both Mo Xi and Wu Hen had a face full of joy. Wu Hen was calmer, but at this moment, he could still tell that's mood wasn't bad from that ice mountain face which hadn't changed for ten thousand years.

Everyone looked at Feng Wuyou with burning gazes. Herba Brassicae, she brought it back?

Feng Wuyou then looked around, and did not see any trace of Xiao Lie: "The Herba Brassicae is with Xiao Lie, he still hasn't come back yet?" Logically speaking, Xiao Lie's Qing Gong was better than hers, and there was no one chasing after him, so he should have returned earlier than his.

Did something happen?

Wu Hen saw the expression on Feng Wuyou's face and also realized that the situation might have changed. His expression changed and she quickly turned around, "I'll go get him." Mo Chen had already received the news, and was on his way to rescue the Herba Brassicae, so right now, the Herba Brassicae must not have any accidents.

"We'll go too." Feng Wuyou, Mo Xi and the rest were preparing to go out and look for Xiao Lie, but right at this moment, Xiao Lie returned!

He landed on the ground while panting heavily, "Master, I've brought the Herba Brassicae!" Then, he passed the package to Feng Wuyou.

Feng Wuyou took the bag, and with a slightly hesitant expression, she asked: "Why are you back so late, what happened?"

Xiao Lie nodded and told Feng Wuyou about encountering that Mask Beautiful Man. The more Feng Wuyou listened, the more solemn her expression. Finally, she could not hold back and opened the box containing the Herba Brassicae. Only after seeing the flower that she had spent a lot of effort to get did she heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing that, Xiao Lie understood Feng Wuyou's worry, and spoke in a serious tone: "Master, don't worry, I also took advantage of the masked guy's recovery time to confirm that the Herba Brassicae was still there, then I ran off with the box." As he said that, he recounted everything that happened afterwards to Feng Wuyou.

After Feng Wuyou heard this, she relaxed.

After handing over the Herba Brassicae to Wu Hen, the few of them followed their previously agreed upon plans. Each of them carried an identical box on their back, and then left in different directions from the Zhonghe City's City Lord's Mansion.

Outside the Zhonghe City, there were only people who coveted the Herba Brassicae. If they were to face one or two top-notch experts, it would naturally not be a problem for them to protect the Herba Brassicae.

But if the people outside used their cartwheeling to attack them, then even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to protect the Herba Brassicae!

Amongst them, Wu Hen had the highest cultivation, so no traces of him bringing the Herba Brassicae to find Mo Chen. As for the remaining people, they planned to use a stealth method and fish eyes to muddle around, making those people confused as to which one was the real Herba Brassicae.
