But now she was forced to do so due to the situation. Even if she wanted to keep those people, she had to consider her own strength.
Unless she also blew up the big spirit stone, but that was too idealistic.
Fortunately, apart from the dead Du Jun, no one should have seen what she did.
Chu Yao slowly walked around his body - after running so many times and being affected by the explosion, her condition was not very good - and then she picked up the spirit stone that had fallen on the ground and held it in her arms.
Just as they were putting it away, a team of Celestial Guards arrived in a mighty procession, guns in hand, shouting loudly:
"Don't move! Get down and put your hands on your head!"
Chu Yao did as she was told, with an innocent expression on her face, pure as could be, well...
The guards questioned each one, but most of them only heard the explosion and saw nothing. Soon it was Chu Yao's turn:
"I was just walking down the street, and then it suddenly exploded. It almost killed me. I was so scared!"
She patted her chest with her hands and gasped like a frightened rabbit.
"Sudden explosion?" The guards were a little suspicious, but seeing the other party's weak appearance, it didn't seem like he could cause any trouble.
"Is there anyone else with him? What is he holding in his hand?"
"Ah, yes, there seem to be three or four people!"
Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, and then described the appearance of those people to the guard.
She didn't go into too much detail to avoid arousing the guards' suspicion.
"Yeah... I get it. Go ahead. Wait, what's that in your hand?"
Chu Yao showed the spirit stone in his hand upon hearing the sound:
"I found it in the mine. I thought it looked nice and wanted to put it in my house as a decoration. If you want it, I'll give it to you."
The guard originally thought that Chu Yao had hidden the Yuanmu Stone, but he found it was just a broken stone. He frowned and waved his hand:
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do now, let's go."
——
"Grenade?"
In a remote hut somewhere in the shelter, a burly man sat in the middle, with a diagonal scar on his face, making him look very fierce.
Sitting around him were the thugs who had just surrounded Chu Yao.
"Brother Hu, I definitely wasn't mistaken. The noise nearly deafened me, and then in the blink of an eye, half of Du's body was blown off!"
Several people nodded repeatedly.
The man called Brother Tiger had a gloomy face, as if he was thinking, which made the others even more uneasy.
"Brother Hu, these flying sword barbarians are completely useless. That Du guy is just a useless wimp! What's with all that magic? We've been letting our brothers capture women for him all day, and he hasn't done anything!"
"You know shit!" Brother Hu frowned, the scar and eyebrow lines on his face twisted together, and then he punched the person who spoke.
"Let me ask you, what did Du Jun and that woman say?"
"They seemed to be talking about fairies and sects... The way these flying swords talk sounded like a costume drama. I really couldn't understand them."
"Zongmen..." Brother Hu muttered, with a glint in his eyes.
"So, they knew each other before?"
"Looks like it should be. That woman even scolded Du, and the coward was scared away at first!"
Brother Hu stood up and paced back and forth in the narrow room. Then he actually laughed out loud, and the sound became louder and louder, scaring the thugs so much that they dared not speak.
"It's over, it's over, Brother Tiger has gone crazy..."
"You are crazy!" Brother Hu scolded with a smile, but surprisingly did not hit anyone.
"Starting tomorrow, all of you go find that woman for me. When you meet her, be polite and tell her that Brother Tiger wants to see you. Remember, no violence!"
Several thugs looked at each other, not knowing what their boss was going to do.
"Brother Hu, I'm just a rough guy. You can ask me to fight, but I don't know what to say when you ask me to help... And I don't know how many grenades that woman has in her hand. What if the brothers say something wrong and she throws another one..."
"I told you you're stupid, but you still don't believe me." Brother Hu said with a look of disgust. "If she really had this ability, would you still be alive to see me? She only attacked that Du guy. Either she has a personal grudge, or she just wants to scare you."
Zhang's thug suddenly realized and admired his boss even more:
"As expected of the boss, he thinks more clearly than us!"
"Okay, stop flattering me. When you go down to the mine tomorrow, find out for me, but don't make it too public."
"yes!"
"Brother Hu, what if she refuses to come?"
"Then find out where she lives and tell me, and I'll go there myself."
"For a flying sword...Brother Tiger, is it really necessary to go this far?"
Brother Hu didn't answer, but just waved his hand, and everyone dispersed and went back to their homes. Soon the house was empty and he was the only one left.
He stared at the moonless starry sky outside the window, lost in deep memories.
