Chapter 488: There are a lot of scumbags
ht opportunity."Send a message to General Mi, ordering him to lead three thousand troops into the East Gate. The remaining troops will be divided into three groups to support the West, South, and Nort..."Second Brother!" Zhao Wu-yi also saw this scene, and was equally shocked beyond words.
However, just in that moment of distraction, the woman seized the opportunity: "Zhao Wu Yi, this time next year will be your death day!" she declared, brandishing her staff with a fierce swing!
"Ah!" Zhao Wu Yi was struck hard by the staff. He cried out in pain, his head blooming with blood. Before he could even utter a groan, he lost consciousness.
Seeing that both elders were dead, the rest of the underlings were terrified and no longer dared to fight. They all knelt down and begged for mercy: "High Priest, please spare our lives! We only obeyed the elders and did not intend to harm you. Please forgive us!"
"Spare you" The woman narrowed her long eyes: "When you humiliated me just now, why didn't you think about sparing me"
“High priest, please spare our lives! We won't dare do this again. From now on, we will all be loyal to you. We will keep today's events a secret and never say anything that would harm your reputation!” Those people bowed their heads like garlic, just wanting to survive.
The woman and Xiao Yuge exchanged a glance. The woman's hand holding the staff trembled violently. "This priestess still thinks the dead are better at keeping secrets. Besides, you all deserve to die!" she declared, then swung her staff with a flash.
And Xiao Yuge almost at the same time, with a light wave of the bone-cutting knife in her hand, said: "You should feel honored to die under the bone-cutting knife!" Such a peerless blade was actually used to kill these small thugs, it was truly a waste!
It was almost done in one go. When the two returned to their original location, they found themselves surrounded by countless corpses, all lifeless and still.
The woman turned to look at Xiao Yuge, and the two of them almost smiled at the same time, reaching out their hands in unison!
"Lu Xiangwan!"
"Sing the Song of Xiao!"
However, when the woman heard the three words Xiao Yuge, her pretty face changed slightly, and she was immediately surprised and delighted: "You, you are the second Miss Xiao Yuge from the capital's Xiao family"
Her reaction made Xiao Yuge a little confused, but she still nodded: "That's right, although I'm not the second young miss of the Xiao family anymore, I am still Xiao Yuge!"
"Wonderful! The Chieftain is saved!" The woman was nearly overcome with joy.
It turns out, the woman's name is Lu Xiangwan, and she's the high priestess of Miaoling. Although they are within the borders of Lan Zhao Nation, they reside in a no-man's land. Therefore, Miaoling functions like a small nation with its own laws and customs. The people there rarely interact with the outside world, sustaining themselves through self-sufficiency and living peacefully.
The highest ruler among the clans is the chieftain, and under the chieftain is the high priest. Each high priest does their utmost to protect the Miaoling clan and leads the entire tribe to pray for peace and blessings from Changshengtian every year.
A year ago, the Second Young Master, Nan Gong Jian, was unhappy that the First Young Master, Nan Gong Yu, was chosen as the next heir to the clan leader. He defied the clan rules and left Miao Ling on his own accord. A month ago, he suddenly returned, bringing with him two strangers whom he claimed were his friends. They came to visit, and after staying in the clan for a few days, they left. During this time, Lu Xiang Wan, who was in seclusion, remained oblivious to these events.
Half a month ago, the chieftain suddenly fell into a coma. The tribe's doctor looked at him but couldn't figure out why. He had to invite Lu Xiangwan, who was in seclusion, out. However, even after Lu Xiangwan took a look, she was helpless.
Nan Gongjian, who was originally in love with Lu Xiangwan, told her at this time that there was a famous doctor named Xiao Yuge in the capital city who could treat all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, but ordinary people couldn't see her. For the sake of the clan leader, Lu Xiangwan decided to go down the mountain herself and go to the capital city to find Xiao Yuge. When she was leaving, Nan Gongjian asked Zhao Ziyi, the third elder, to accompany her for protection, but unexpectedly, this was just a conspiracy.
"I didn't expect there to be so many scumbags in the world!" Xiao Yuge frowned after hearing this. She hated these people who deceived others' feelings to her core.
"So, you're really Xiao Yuge" Lu Xiangwan still couldn't believe it. She never expected to meet Xiao Yuge here, and what shocked her even more was that the young girl in front of her, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, actually possessed terrifying martial arts skills!
"What Don't I look like it" Xiao Yu Ge raised an eyebrow.
"No, it's just a little hard to believe..." Lu Xiangwan actually had a feeling of "it's a pity we didn't meet sooner" with Xiao Yuge. Although they were a few years apart in age, it didn't affect their mutual admiration.
"Even if you don't believe me, I'm the real Xiao Yu Ge. You're lucky, I happened to be out gathering medicine and ran into you." Xiao Yu Ge casually picked up her medicine box: "Your wound is still bleeding, we need to bandage it."
"Thank you!"
Looking at Xiao Yuge skillfully applying medicine and bandaging, Lu Xiange had long since believed her. After changing the dressing, she eagerly and sincerely said, "Please, Miss Xiao, go with me to save my clan chief!"
Xiao Yu sang shook her head: "You just heard it too, I'm afraid there have been huge changes in your clan now. Not to mention whether the old clan leader is still safe, even if you go back again, it's probably like walking into a trap. So, are you still going back"
"I must go back, it is my duty as a priest!" Lu Xiangwan had never left the mountain. Loyalty to Miaoling ran deep in her blood. This time, if not for the chieftain, she wouldn't have come here: "Miss Xiao, I hope you can help me!"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yuge pursed her lips and fell silent. To be honest, she didn't dislike Lu Xiangwan in front of her, even having a little admiration for her. But that Miao Ling was very far from here, it would take at least a few days to travel back and forth. Not to mention anything else, just passing the Thousand Ting Xuan checkpoint, she couldn't get through.
"Miss Xiao..." Lu Xiangwan saw her hesitate and thought she hadn't shown enough sincerity. After some thought, she made a major decision: "Miss Xiao, if you are willing to go back with me to save my clan leader, I am willing to offer the most precious treasure of my clan as a gift!"
“Even the treasure is fine, I never take what doesn't belong to me. However, I heard that the Miao Ling clan has many secret recipes, such as things like shrinking yang talismans and abortion pills. I thought about getting these secret recipes later on.” Xiao Yu Ge suddenly thought of a very fun game.
Relieved, Lu Xiangwan let out a breath and quickly nodded in agreement: "These are no problem at all!" This was the most common thing imaginable in Miaoling.
"There's one more thing," Xiao Yuge had once heard a legend about Miaoling from Ye Gege, so she remembered another matter: "Since elder sister is the high priest of Miaoling, have you ever heard of the Dragon's Eye Pearl"
"Dragon's Eye Pearl" Lu Xiangwan frowned slightly. When Xiao Yuge thought she didn't know, she nodded: "I do."
"Do you know about the Dragon's Eye Pearl" Xiao Yu Ge was suddenly both surprised and delighted, realizing her own flustered state. She quickly coughed to cover it up and said, "Could you tell me about it"Xiao Yuge heard this and was a little confused, hurriedly dissuading him: “Your Highness, this one-sided love often has no results. Look, you and Miss Ye are about to get married soon, and in the futu...
