Chapter 576: Who is the Mysterious Person?

sent people to protect her. They are all skilled fighters, they should be able to keep her safe." Ye Wuhuan thought for a moment and said: "However, according to the clues we have found so far, it al..."Hmph!" The leader of the black-clad figures snorted coldly and suddenly pulled back his long sword!

"Uh!" Lu Xiangwan's body swayed immediately, and she slumped to the ground.

"Lu Jie!" Thankfully, at this moment, Xiao Yuge finally managed to forcefully suppress the surging energy within her body, recovered her composure, and hurriedly helped up the injured Lu Xiangwan.

"Kill them!" Seeing that Lu Xiangwan was already injured, the leader of the black-clad men became somewhat pleased and immediately ordered to kill them.

Xiao Yu's eyes turned cold, she helped Lu Xiangwan to the side, then slowly got up. Her gaze swept over them like ice: "If you want to die, then fulfill your wish!"

Learned from her previous lesson, she dared not use the Life and Death Technique again. Instead, she employed the Ghost Shadow Concealing Needles taught by Old Master Feng. With a slight tremor of her hands, she raised them in an instant, her hands already gripping several concealed needles!

"Everyone be careful!" the black-clad leader at the front paled, hastily warning his men.

But, it was too late.

As screams echoed, over half of the men surrounding the black-clad figure had fallen.

"You're looking for death!" The leader of the black-clad men, upon seeing this, instantly flew into a rage, his long sword lunging directly at Xiao Yuge.

With a clang, the black-clad man's long sword was sent flying. The force of it jolted his hand, numbing his tiger's mouth and nearly causing him to drop his weapon. He stumbled back several steps before finally coming to a halt. Squinting, he saw that at some point, a figure clad in a black and red robe and wearing a mask had materialized right in front of Xiao Yuge.

"Who are you I advise you to stay out of this!" The black-clad man at the front, enraged, pointed his long sword directly at the masked figure.

"Hurt her, and I'll strip you to the bone!" The voice, like fire burning across his throat, sent a chill down your spine in this desolate place.

Xiao Yu Ge watched his back, her brows slightly furrowed. This felt vaguely familiar, yet his voice was utterly strange. Who was this person He seemed to be here to help them.

The man in black at the front realized that the newcomer's martial arts skills far surpassed his own, and Xiao Yuge was also a master of hidden weapons. Seeing that half of his men had already been killed or wounded, if they continued fighting, they would likely suffer heavy casualties as well. Since their objective had already been achieved, he waved his hand and ordered: "Retreat!"

Immediately afterward, all the men in black turned around swiftly. With a few leaps and bounds, they vanished from there.

But the masked man in the black and red robes didn't chase after them, he just instinctively turned his head quickly to glance at Xiao Yuge, his lips moving: "Are you hurt" Although his voice still sounded terrifying, it seemed to have a touch more concern than before.

"Nothing..." Xiao Yuge shook her head even though she found it strange.

The masked man no longer spoke, raised his foot to leave.

"Wait!" Xiao Yu Ge hurried to chase after him.

The masked man paused, but still did not turn around.

Xiao Yu Ge sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for saving us just now. May I ask your honorable name I will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Nameless and faceless! There is no need for repayment!" The masked man said, his figure flickering, disappearing in a flash.

Xiao Yu Ge frowned, pondering to herself: Who is this person Why are they so strange

She was worried about Lu Xiangwan's injuries, so she didn't chase after him. Besides, it seemed like she couldn't catch up to that person anyway. However, she still let out a sigh of relief because the mysterious man suddenly appeared and intimidated those in black. Otherwise, things would have been troublesome.

Just now those hidden weapons were all she had. If those men in black didn't leave, she would have no choice but to risk going into a state of madness and use the Life and Death Technique again.

"Lu JieJie!" she hurriedly checked Lu Xiangwan's wound, seeing the wound, she couldn't help but frown: Damn it! The sword was actually poisoned!

"Song... " Lu Xiangwan looked very uncomfortable, she held Xiao Yuge's hand and said anxiously: "Song, if something happens to me, you must help me find my sister..."

"Sister Lu, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Xiao Yuge took out a Hundred Poisons Pill from her body and gave it to her to swallow first. Although it couldn't cure the poison in her body, it could ensure that the toxins wouldn't spread so quickly. Then, she helped her up and walked down the mountain.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, seeing the sky gradually darken, she thought that it would be too late to return to the city at this time. Therefore, they stayed at a farmer's house for the night. She had to find a way to detoxify Lu Jiejie as soon as possible, otherwise, if it dragged on until tomorrow, I was afraid it would damage her lungs and internal organs.

“Two young ladies, I’m so sorry, our family is poor and we don’t have any new bedding. But this one is clean, please use it for the night.” In the farmer’s house, there were two kind elderly people. Seeing Xiao Yuge and her companions dressed in luxurious clothes and looking like fairies, they felt a little embarrassed and took out the patched quilt.

However, although it is old bedding, it looks clean and tidy.

"Thank you, elder. We apologize for the disturbance." Xiao Yuge took the blanket and quickly opened it over Lu Xiangwan's body, whose consciousness was already beginning to blur.

"Young lady, your sister's injury looks quite serious. Would you like me, old man, to go to the village and bring the doctor over" The old man heard Xiao Yuge call Lu Xiangwan "sister," and he thought they were sisters.

"No need, old man. I'm a doctor myself. I can cure Sister Lu's wounds. But later, if nothing happens, please don't disturb me, thank you!" She was going to use her internal energy to force the poison out of Sister Lu's body. If she were disturbed halfway through, it would be troublesome.

"Don't worry, girl. There are only me and my wife at home, no one else. It's late now, and no one will come. So, you won't be disturbed. If you need anything, we two old folks will do our best to help." The two elderly people were quite kindhearted.

“Okay, please get me some hot water and some needle and thread, thank you!”

Okay.

Everything was ready. Xiao Yuge sang closed the door, went to bed, and supported Lu Xiangwan to sit up, placing her hands on her back, slowly forcing the poison out of her body.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangwan's internal energy was evenly matched with hers, so she quickly forced the poison out of Lu Xiangwan's body. She was also grateful that the poison on the sword wasn't something that would cause immediate death from a single wound, otherwise, by this point, Lu Xiangwan would have been dead long ago.

"Ugh!" Lu Xiangwan spat out a mouthful of black blood, and gradually regained consciousness: "Ge'er, where is this I, I haven't died"

"This is a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain. Don't worry, Sister Lu, the poison in your body has been cleared out. I'll help you clean your wounds and apply some medicine, and that's all."

"Ger, thank you!"

"Lu Jie, I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, I would be the one injured now." Xiao Yuge didn't tell the truth, only because Qian Tingxuan had said that there was a golden silkworm armor on her body, and the fewer people who knew, the better.he poison. That was my first time being poisoned; when I woke up again, ten days had passed. I sent someone to inquire about her at the Prime Minister's Mansion and learned that she had also been in a...
