"Why do you say it's a pity?" Dao Nan, who wasn't seriously injured, stood up and asked.
"Only Mr. Luo You knows how to refine Blood Realm Elixirs of Dao Qi, and there are no monsters with Dao Qi Blood Realm spiritual energy deposits in Ash City, nor are there any Dao Qi Blood Realm Elixirs in the warehouse," Huang Yuanlong said. "After all, Blood Realm Dao Qi is very useful, and its price is generally high in the black market."
“I do know that the mother nest of the Backspining Crab Claw Monster contains Dao Qi and spiritual energy sediments of the Dan Realm. Although your contribution in killing the Drowned Ghost was significant, and I owe you a favor, it's not enough for me to persuade others to help you hunt the mother nest. If you want my help, I can only ask Mr. Luo You for you.”
Huang Yuanlong then looked at Dao Nan: "You did well too. I can guarantee to get you a Blood Realm Battle Qi Pill."
Chen Jing was speechless. Huang Yuanlong had just finished a battle, and he was already thinking about how to repay his debts of gratitude.
Huang Yuanlong was in charge of all the planning and command this time. He did not set up any contingency plans to deal with the drowned ghosts. Logically speaking, if the operation failed, he would bear the greatest responsibility.
He couldn't quite see through Huang Yuanlong, so he politely said, "It's alright, this kind of information is very useful to you."
Dao Nan responded with gratitude.
After Jasmine finished treating everyone's emergency treatment, she ran back and confirmed that Chen Jing's arm had been reset under the effect of the magic. Then she found two wooden boards and used them to fix Chen Jing's arm in place, wrapping it with bandages.
The little girl's technique was quite skillful. After she finished bandaging, she whispered to Chen Jing, "Okay, try not to use your right hand. Wait at least two days."
Thanks to timely treatment and the presence of several cultivators, none of the soldiers were killed. Most of them had lost their fighting ability from the beginning and were basically lying down until the end, which relieved Huang Yuanlong.
For Huang Yuanlong, although the death of a few soldiers would not necessarily damage his status and power, it would still damage his prestige, making it more difficult for him to mobilize troops in the future.
After everyone had finished treating their injuries and harvesting the spiritual materials, Huang Yuanlong said to Chen Jing and the others, "Let's go back to the big ship first. Two drowned ghosts have appeared in the Song River. This is not good news."
...
As soon as Chen Jing returned to the large ship, he saw 'Blood Eagle' Luo Ting and several others following Mo Wujiang out.
Mo Wujiang and Luo Ting look quite similar, except that Mo Wujiang's totem is tattooed on his head, while Luo Ting's is tattooed on his face.
A small portion of this group also had visible totems of various kinds, either on their arms or necks.
Upon seeing Chen Jing and Zhang Taoying beside him, Luo Ting felt a surge of anger. He had previously inquired and learned that the two were now even living together.
Seeing Chen Jing injured, Luo Ting said in a sinister tone, "What? This kid who only knows how to scare people with illusions gets injured every time he goes on a mission. Did he fall while running away?"
Luo Ting felt that although Chen Jing was now working for Huang Yuanlong, based on his understanding of Huang Yuanlong, Huang Yuanlong would definitely not care about his provocation.
Huang Yuanlong is a cold-blooded person.
Moreover, although Luo Ting didn't know what Chen Jing was doing in the city with Huang Yuanlong, the fact that he got injured so quickly was enough to prove that Chen Jing wasn't good enough and was just a good-for-nothing with a bit of luck. Huang Yuanlong never had a good impression of good-for-nothings, not to mention that Chen Jing got injured as soon as he took action under Huang Yuanlong's command, which was equivalent to disgracing Huang Yuanlong.
As for Mo Wujiang, he wouldn't care even more. Mo Wujiang was his master. After Zhang Shimei was killed by the assassins who came to assassinate her on that big ship, Mo Wujiang valued Luo Ting even more and said that he would give him a Danjing elixir in a few days.
Therefore, Luo Ting stood in front of Huang Yuanlong and his group without any restraint and provoked them.
Suddenly, Luo Ting felt as if he had been punched hard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, his bloodied teeth knocked out.
Shocked and furious, Luo Ting looked at the thing that had hit his face, and it turned out to be a swollen human head!
The head had empty holes above its eyes, and blue blood was flowing from them!
"ah!"
Luo Ting screamed, threw the head to the ground, and crawled backward a few steps using both hands.
Then, enraged, the tattoos on his face seemed to burn and turn bright red.
"Who did this? Who dares to hit me?"
He shouted as he looked at Chen Jing with shock and anger.
"It was you! You used illusion magic to cover your attack on me! How dare you lay a hand on a fellow member of the Black Hand gang!"
The more Luo Ting spoke, the more excited he became, even though he was injured and in pain. He realized that this was an opportunity; even if he couldn't kill Chen Jing, he could still make him suffer severe punishment!
"I did it."
A completely emotionless voice rang out from the side.
Huang Yuanlong stepped forward: "I hit you, you have a problem with that? Not only did I hit you, I also want you to pick up that head, it's more precious than you."
“Brother Huang, that’s too much,” Mo Wujiang said. “Why do you have to get involved in the squabbles of the younger generation?”
Seeing Mo Wujiang step in to stop Huang Yuanlong, Luo Ting showed a look of grief and indignation, and then said, "Lord Huang slapped my left cheek, so naturally I should offer my right cheek as well. But everything must be based on reason, Lord Huang, you must also be reasonable!"
Huang Yuanlong's figure moved swiftly, like a green petrel, and in an instant he passed Mo Wujiang and arrived beside Luo Ting.
He kicked Luo Ting, who was still lying on the ground, in the right cheek, sending him flying several meters away and breaking several of his teeth.
“Brother Huang, this is really going too far.” Mo Wujiang blocked Huang Yuanlong’s path, saying with a hint of anger, “Give me some face.”
Mo Wujiang also found it strange. This Chen Jing was clearly just a local who had just joined the Black Hand gang. At first, he only wanted to use Chen Jing as a scapegoat so that after the large group of trial participants died because of the slave ghosts, Chen Jing would be pushed out as the commander to take responsibility.
