Chapter 694: Saving the City Lord
Those who rushed over to catch Wangyou were a little stunned when they saw him doing this.
Take off your shoes and stretch your feet out? Are you trying to kill them with athlete's foot?
Wangyou stood on one leg and lifted up the other foot, exposing the sole of his foot completely to everyone.
I saw some lines on the sole of the foot, which were easy to ignore at first glance. Under the sunlight, those lines became clearer and clearer, began to glow, and finally turned into a burning fire lotus.
Those people paused and their eyes widened at the same time.
Fire lotus!
They were even more confused.
Two fire lotuses, what's going on?
"He is the disciple of Wu Mobai, a sinner of our clan, and he is also a sinner. Catch him!" Wu Ku shouted.
Those people suddenly realized and tried to catch Wangyou——
"Stop! Look at their fire lotuses, one has six petals, and the other has five petals!" Yun Tao said excitedly.
He hadn't noticed it at first. After all, no one dared to stare at the fire lotus all the time because that was a great disrespect to God!
Now that both of them displayed the fire lotus on their bodies at the same time, he discovered the difference!
Those people looked at the soles of Wangyou's feet, and then at the palms of Wu Ku's hands. Indeed, there were six-petal fire lotuses on the soles of his feet, but only five petals on the palms!
According to sacred texts, the Moon God loved to visit the mortal world on full-moon nights. One such visit, the God encountered a group of children and joined them for a stroll. They played until almost dawn, but still eager to explore, they agreed to return on the next full-moon night. To find the children, the God painted fire lotuses on each of them. Soon, the lotuses dissipated. Finally, only one child's fire lotus remained. The God said to that child, "We are destined to be together."
The fire lotus represents the bond with God and also represents God's approval.
In the Wu clan, it represents the nobility of status and determines the degree of respect from the people.
Some of those who wanted to capture Wangyou were brought by Wu Ku, and some were guards from Yunfeng City. Regardless of which side they came from, they all believed in God, and they recognized Huo Lian more than the identities of witch servant, city lord, etc.
The look they gave Wangyou was full of respect and piety.
Wangyou put down his foot, his face serious, and his voice cold, "Wu Ku deceived the gods, pretended to be the gods' will, framed the innocent, and eliminated dissidents. He is the sinner of our tribe. Catch him!"
As soon as Wangyou finished speaking, those people rushed forward to capture Wu Ku.
Wu Ku had nowhere to escape and his face looked extremely ugly.
He never expected that Wu Li was actually a six-petal fire lotus!
He studied very hard and even used various secret techniques to transform himself into a half-human, half-ghost appearance, and finally carved a five-petal fire lotus on the palm of his hand!
He originally thought that five petals of fire lotus were enough, but he never expected that this person actually had six petals!
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass this person?
He was so hateful and felt so unwilling.
Wangyou faced Wu Ku's poisonous eyes with a normal expression.
"Push him forward." Wangyou said.
Yao Zhu was originally watching the ceremony from the side, wanting to see Yun Tao being burned to death and waiting for a good show. As a result, this huge change hit him on the head and he was stunned.
A Ku was actually arrested and his backer was gone.
He was going to die, he had to run!
Yao Zhu left her seat and turned around, wanting to leave secretly...
Before he had taken two steps, his collar was suddenly grabbed!
Yao Zhu turned around and saw a delicate and pretty little face.
It is the Three Treasures.
"Want to run?" Sanbao raised an eyebrow and punched Yao Zhu in the face. "You bully, you scoundrel, go to jail."
The man was knocked unconscious directly.
Tang Li and Du Ye stood on a high place and couldn't help laughing when watching this scene.
"This little girl holds a grudge."
"Punish evil and promote good." Du Ye corrected her.
Tang Li's smile became even more intense. This master was even more protective of her.
City Lord's Mansion.
When Yun Tao stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he felt a sense of unreality.
He is still alive.
He was happy to have survived the disaster, but he was even happier because the witch clan was saved!
Lord Wu Li is still alive!
Moreover, Lord Wu Li is actually a six-petal fire lotus!
The six-petaled fire lotus is second only to the great witch and the saint in terms of sacredness.
Yuntao followed Wangyou around, watching him smile foolishly. If he wasn't afraid of blaspheming the gods, he would have wanted to come up and touch him.
Wangyou: “…”
"City Lord, calm down."
Yun Tao took two deep breaths and regained his composure: "Calm down."
"Lord Wu Li, Wu Ku and Yao Zhu have been imprisoned in the dungeon. What are your plans next?" Yun Tao asked.
"Go to Yuecheng and meet the Saint." Wangyou said.
Before his death, the master told him to protect the Saint. He was born for the Saint, and protecting the Saint was his nature. The Saint was the one he wanted to protect with his life.
But now, the Three Treasures are also very important to him.
One is engraved deep in the soul, the other comes from the heart.
Both of them are important to him.
Wangyou sometimes wishes he could split into two people, one to follow his heart and follow the Three Treasures, and the other to fulfill his nature to protect the Saint. That would be great.
"What happened in Yunfeng City today will soon reach Wu Jie's ears. It will be very dangerous for you to go to Yuecheng." Yun Tao said with a frown.
"I have to go despite the danger. I will go find the Saint and expose Wu Jie's true identity. If the Saint believes me, then everything will be easy." Wangyou said.
Yun Tao thought about it and decided that even though it was risky, this was the only way.
Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous Lord Wu Li will be!
The only way is to remove the firewood from under the cauldron!
"If Wu Jie's true identity is exposed, our clan will be saved," Yun Tao said, bowing respectfully to Wang You. "Lord Wu Li, Yun Tao is at your disposal!"
"Prepare horses and food, as well as a fake identity from the Wu clan. I will set off for Yuecheng immediately. It would be best if I could catch Wu Jie by surprise before he knows I'm still alive." Wangyou said decisively.
"Wangyou, and us." Sanbao walked in from outside, followed by Tangli and Du Ye.
Wangyou frowned: "Moon City is in danger, City Lord Yun will send someone to protect me..."
Wangyou obviously wanted to take the risk alone.
"We agreed on this before we came back, Wangyou, and we can't go back on our word." Sanbao's little face was full of seriousness.
"I said, no matter what you do, I support you. This support cannot be just words." Tang Li said with a smile.
Tangli is protective of Wangyou and has treated him as a family member. The moment he decided to follow Wangyou back to Yunfeng City, he decided to see this matter through to the end!
Didn't she also want Yunfeng City to fall into the situation described in the novel?
She was not a saint or someone who meddles in other people's affairs, but she had a compassionate heart. Those dead bones in the novel were now living people, and she could not bear to watch these people die.
Du Ye didn't say anything, just looked at him expressionlessly with his sword in his arms, but his appearance here showed their attitude.
Wangyou looked at the three people standing in front of him.
The lady and the master saved him, Mr. Du taught him martial arts, but he did nothing. How could he deserve them to do this?!
Wangyou felt sad.
"City Lord, food and horses for four people, and four fake identities of the witch clan." Tang Li said.
Yuntao looked at Wangyou, Wangyou nodded, and Yuntao turned around to prepare.
Tangli and his three friends had a simple meal, changed their clothes, and went out.
Yuntao was very efficient and everything was ready.
Each person received a package and a horse.
"This is the city lord's token. Take it with you and see if you can use it." Yun Tao handed a token to Wangyou.
Wangyou took it.
"Lord Wu Li, you... must be careful." Yun Tao said.
"Don't worry." Wangyou said.
The four of them mounted their horses and headed along the street towards the city gate.
Yun Tao looked at their figures and prayed silently in his heart, praying that Lord Wu Li could meet the Saint smoothly, and praying that the Saint could believe Lord Wu Li!
