Chapter 53: Encountering the Enemy - Many problems remain unresolved, and many things urgently need to be addressed...
Many problems remain unresolved, and many things urgently need to be done.
As they talked, they ate a little something during the breaks.
Although Lu Qing encountered Wu Chen, she still needed to find Luo Yuan and Qi Wu, whose whereabouts were currently unknown.
Wu Chen hadn't known she was there before, but now that he did, he naturally couldn't abandon her. So everyone unanimously decided to go find Luo Yuan and Qi Wu first.
Before they could even set off, there was a disturbance in the distance.
The group flew to the mountaintop on their swords. From there, they could see the flashing of swords and the shouts of warriors echoing in the distance. Dust billowed, making it impossible to tell whether it was a battle between humans or between humans and demons.
Wu Chen, who had the best eyesight, said to Qi Ying, "I'll go with Yu Shenshi to take a look. You stay here and guard this place."
Having him stay here was naturally a way of taking care of Lu Qing.
Lu Qing wasn't embarrassed at all. Just over half a year ago, she was a "child" who was afraid to even venture into the wilderness at night. Now, she dared to run wild in the Western Wilderness, and she felt incredibly proud of herself. Lu Qing casually called out, "Don't you need any help?"
Wu Chen, who had already leaped onto Taiyi, turned back and smiled, "Don't be naughty."
The pampered feeling almost made Qi Ying gouge out her own eyes. She took it out, washed it, and put it back.
Who is this?
What did he do?
No, I'm absolutely obsessed.
What kind of scenes are these that we shouldn't be watching?
Lu Qing didn't think too much about it and invited the two of them to sit down.
Qi Ying looked at Lu Qing's face and compared her to Qi Zhi in her mind. She really couldn't lie and say that Lu Qing was prettier. But she looked comfortable and cute, and when she wasn't being sarcastic, she was still quite approachable.
"Miss Luqing, how did you come to know the master?" Qiying asked in a low voice.
Lu Qing thought for a moment, "I don't know where he found me."
Lu Qing was telling the truth. Even now, that cunning fellow hadn't honestly confessed what had happened before she opened her eyes. Besides, she was quite carefree; since Wu Chen refused to tell her, she forgot to ask later.
The gossipy teenagers were dumbfounded by her answer: "Don't you think there's a lot you don't know?"
"So how did you get him to agree?" Lawson asked directly, without any hesitation.
Lu Qing rolled her eyes at him. "He tricked me into nodding."
No!
No!
My family members aren't like that!
Qi Ying was conflicted. Based on his understanding, his master was definitely not the type to be attracted to beautiful women. He glanced at Lu Qing; yes, that was absolutely true.
This girl is adorable, but she's also incredibly feisty. Could it be that her gentlemanly and upright master actually prefers this kind of refreshingly fiery style?
Before she could ask any more questions, Lu Qing, with her hands supporting her chin and her eyes shining, looked ahead and exclaimed, "Look, look!"
The gossipy youth and the gossipy teenager looked ahead and saw that the battlefield, which had been quite a distance away just moments before, was now right in front of them.
This was the first time Lu Qing had ever seen Wu Chen fight someone.
Her once-proud figure, hidden by the flowing sleeves of his robes, had been a source of shame for her; she'd even been punished by having to copy homework for glancing at him too long. And today, he was dressed in a sharp, tailored outfit, his cloak still draped over her shoulders. As they slaughtered their way through the land…
Haha, look at that waist, that leg!
In this fight, who else could fight so heroically and captivatingly that it's impossible to look away?
Lawson noticed the small flame burning in her eyes and quickly nudged her, signaling with his eyes for her to tone it down. The disciple was still nearby; you, as the future mistress, should be more dignified.
Lu Qing immediately understood, coughed lightly in a mock manner, put away her hands that were in a daze, and asked Qi Ying, "Should we go and help out?"
Qi Ying quickly shook her head, "With adults here, there's no need to worry."
In fact, they really don't need to worry.
The battle was between two groups, with no demons involved. One group consisted of disciples of the Divine Palace, while the other was a motley crew of people, dressed in all sorts of clothing, and numerous in number. As a result, the Divine Palace disciples were at a disadvantage, suffering many casualties and forced to fight a retreating battle. They thought they were doomed to fall into the hands of these people, but then Wu Chen and Yu Jitang suddenly descended from the sky, instantly turning the tide of the battle.
Although the two men were still masked, their protective stance towards the Divine Palace disciples was very clear. Moreover, Wu Chen almost killed one of them with a single sword strike; if the two sides hadn't been engaged in a chaotic battle and he hadn't been so cautious, the destructive power would likely have been even greater.
Someone on the other side recognized the Taiyi Sword. They immediately shouted, "It's the Witch God Servant! Run!"
Those people scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions, and even in their escape, they didn't forget to drag away their companions' corpses.
Wu Chen and Yu Jitang exchanged a glance, and Yu Jitang then focused on one of them and chased after him.
The chaotic battle ceased, leaving behind only a pile of corpses and a group of shrine disciples who could barely stand.
Wu Chen pulled off his face mask and frowned as he looked at them.
The disciples of the Divine Palace had escaped death and were still in shock. When they saw the corpses of their fellow disciples on the ground, many of them burst into tears.
Lu Qing and the others also came down from the mountaintop. Seeing the miserable state of everyone, they first checked on the person lying on the ground, "Hey, this one can still be saved, come and help him up."
Qi Ying and Luo Sen rushed over to help. Qi Ying was in charge of channeling spiritual energy, Luo Sen helped with acupressure, and Lu Qing prepared medicine and treated the wounds. In just a short while, the man coughed up a mouthful of blood and miraculously regained his breath.
The disciples of the Divine Palace were both overjoyed and saddened by this, and each of them was somewhat distraught.
Lu Qing and Luo Sen treated the most seriously injured disciple, and then helped treat the injuries of everyone else. However, the disciples of the Divine Palace all carried their own medicines, so they used whatever medicine they had, and if they didn't have any, they asked each other to find a way to get some.
Lu Qing is still somewhat wary of the disciples of the Divine Palace. She genuinely feels that if those above are unreliable, what hope can be placed on those below?
However, these disciples of the Divine Palace were quite kind and generous to each other. Although they didn't know Lu Qing, they sincerely thanked Lu Qing and Luo Sen for their help.
Once everyone had calmed down a bit, someone came forward to bow to Wu Chen, saying, "Witch God, thank you for saving our lives."
Wu Chen frowned. "What's going on? Who are those people? Why did they attack you?"
The disciple's eyes were slightly red. "This isn't the first time. Ever since we crossed the snowfield, someone has been chasing us. Later, they even circled around to the front and surrounded us. Of the six fellow disciples who came with us, two have already lost their lives, and the rest of us are all wounded. Their numbers are increasing, and even when we joined forces with our fellow disciples nearby, our numbers dwindled. If it weren't for the two divine attendants we encountered today, I'm afraid we would have met with dire straits."
Several female disciples were gathered around a girl who had already died, weeping uncontrollably.
Lu Qing wasn't good at comforting people, so she simply kept quiet, went over to treat their injuries, and then left.
Wu Chenyi questioned the disciples one by one, and inadvertently turned around to see Lu Qing rummaging through the corpses. His heart skipped a beat; this girl didn't care about the danger, just rushing in like that. (Lu Qing: You misunderstood. It would be a loss not to take advantage of these bodies lying here!)
Wu Chen quickly went over to stop her, "Be careful, some cultivators' spiritual weapons can intentionally harm people."
As a result, Lu Qing held a string of spirit pouches in one hand and was carefully examining the man's weapon with the other. "It feels a bit familiar. It seems to be from the Sword Forging Manor."
Could it be a magical artifact? Those would automatically protect their owner. Just as he was thinking this, a flash of spiritual light appeared on the weapon, and a wisp of green light surged from the weapon into Lu Qing's palm.
Wu Chenxin's heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and he hurriedly tried to snatch it.
But the weapon cracked with a sharp sound.
Lu Qing jumped up in fright, throwing away the weapon and shaking his hand repeatedly. But the streak of blue light had already disappeared.
Wu Chen grabbed her hand and asked, "How does it feel?"
Lu Qing stared hesitantly at her palm. "It feels... good."
Wu Chen stared at her in astonishment.
Lu Qing took a moment to feel it and whispered, "It really feels good. Like drinking ten pots of fish porridge mixed with a calming pill."
This metaphor... is truly...
Wu Shen released her hand and picked up the weapon to examine it. It was originally a superior spiritual weapon, but now it was nothing more than scrap metal. Wu Shen looked at the ruler between Lu Qing's eyebrows, which was tucked diagonally into her waistband.
A faint blue light flashed between his brows.
Wu Chen was speechless for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the ruler between the eyebrows flashed several more times as if urging him on.
Wu Chen suppressed the urge to facepalm. "How about we look at some other weapons?"
Lu Qing's big, round eyes rolled around. "Well, you see, they're all bad people anyway, so it's not like I'm doing anything wrong by helping to collect these spirit pouches, right?"
Wu Chen reached out and flicked her head. "What good stuff could they possibly have? I'll give you whatever you want."
Lu Qing said confidently, "What's yours is mine. This is unexpected wealth, how can they be the same?"
Although on the battlefield, all the physical bodies of the dead naturally become the spoils of the victor, Wu Chen did not want to develop the habit of taking advantage of others. "A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way."
Lu Qing immediately replied, "It's a waste to leave it here. I'll keep it for now and give it to someone who needs it more after we leave."
Wu Chen wanted to spank her.
