The barbarian killers were indeed insidious and cunning, with endless methods.
Liu Rushuang is a well-known ghostwriter in the capital with extraordinary skills. Ordinary poisons have no effect on her.
But who could have thought that the other party would use such a despicable method - aphrodisiac!
At this time, Liu Rushuang had long lost her usual calmness and sharpness. Her eyes were blurred, her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was rapid.
She unconsciously pulled at her clothes and staggered towards Xia He, mumbling something incoherently.
Xia He was startled by this sudden change and quickly took a few steps back, thinking to himself that something was wrong.
He quickly glanced around, his eyes landing on the spot where the killer slapped his chest before dying.
A broken token was revealed under the killer's collar. Xia He's eyes narrowed and he understood something instantly.
He squatted down, took the token from the killer's arms, and looked at it carefully.
There were strange patterns engraved on the token, which seemed to have some connection with the stone gate behind it.
"So that's it!" Xia He suddenly realized that this token was the key to open the stone door!
Before he died, the killer slapped his chest with all his strength, apparently to destroy the token and prevent them from entering the stone gate.
This further proves that there must be something extremely important hidden behind the stone gate.
“How insidious!”
While he was thinking, Liu Rushuang had already come close to him, her hands wrapped around his neck like vines, and her warm breath sprayed on his ears.
Xia He felt his scalp tingling and quickly moved to the side.
While he was dealing with Liu Rushuang's "offensive",
"Hiss... this token looks familiar."
While taking out an object from his arms that was extremely similar to the killer's token.
This was what he got when he killed another killer in a small town before coming to Yunzhou.
"So this is where the token is used?"
"No... the town is more than a thousand miles away from Yunzhou. In other words, any assassin from Yanyu Tower with the token can open the stone gate!"
"It seems that the leader of the Tyrant Blade Sect has colluded with the Northern Barbarians for a long time..."
Xia He whispered to himself, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He didn't care that Liu Rushuang was hanging on him like an octopus and kept touching him. He walked straight to the stone door and began to feel around carefully.
Soon, he found a hidden compartment, pieced the two broken tokens together, and inserted them into the compartment.
With a "click", the stone door slowly opened.
Xia He was delighted and quickly slipped in.
Behind the stone door is a small dark room with simple furnishings.
There is a stone couch in the middle of the dark room, which is obviously used for people to sit cross-legged and practice.
In the corner stood a furnace, with some discarded medicinal residues scattered around it, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Xia He looked around and his eyes fell on a cabinet in the corner.
He walked over quickly and opened the first layer of the cabinet, which was filled with letters exchanged with the Northern Barbarians.
He casually flipped through a few of them, and became increasingly shocked. These letters detailed the transactions between Tyrant Blade Sect and the Northern Barbarians. In addition...
"The Ba Dao Sect was actually wrongly accused?"
Xia He stood in front of the stone door of the dark room, holding the letters tightly in his hands, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
He originally thought that the collusion between the Badao Sect and the Northern Barbarians was irrefutable, but the letters before him plunged him into deep confusion.
"How... is this possible?"
He muttered quietly, his brows furrowed.
According to rumors in Yunzhou City, the Badao Sect hid in their hiding when the barbarian army attacked, and even colluded with the barbarians in secret. This aroused the wrath of Governor Li, who ordered the elimination of the Badao Sect.
However, these letters revealed a completely different truth - the leader of the Badao Sect was indeed in collusion with the Northern Barbarians, but his purpose was not to betray Yunzhou, but to use the resources of the Northern Barbarians to practice some secret method.
What shocked Xia He even more was that the letter mentioned.
When the barbarian army attacked, the disciples of Badao Sect in Yunzhou City did not retreat. Instead, they obeyed the orders of Yunfeng, the garrison commander of Yunzhou, and contributed money and manpower. Many disciples even died heroically in the battle to defend the city.
And the order was issued in the name of Commander Li.
“This…what on earth is going on?”
Xia He just felt his mind was in a mess.
If the disciples of Ba Dao Sect did participate in the defense of the city and even paid a heavy price, then why did Yun Feng, the garrison commander of Yunzhou, falsely accuse Ba Dao Sect of having secret dealings with the barbarians?
The more Xia He thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
He recalled the rumors he had heard in Yunzhou City. Yunfeng had accused the Badao Sect of colluding with the barbarians on many occasions in public, and even claimed that he had solid evidence.
But now it seems that these so-called evidences are probably all false.
Yunfeng simply used Governor Li to eliminate the Badao Sect.
"But why did Yunfeng do this?" Xia He whispered to himself, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
As Yunfeng was the garrison commander of Yunzhou, he held a prominent position. Why would he take such a big risk to falsely accuse Ba Dao Men? Or was there something hidden in Ba Dao Men that Yunfeng wanted to get at all costs?
"It seems that the water in Yunzhou City is deeper than I imagined..."
"Barbarians have a method to quickly become a martial saint. Is this true or not..."
"Is this the thing that the leader of Tyrant Blade Sect is willing to rebel against?"
He quickly put the letter away and opened the second layer of the cabinet.
This floor is filled with all kinds of bottles and jars, which contain pills of various colors.
Xia He was well versed in pharmacology. He picked up the bottles and identified them one by one, and finally found the antidote that could remove the poison of the aphrodisiac.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around to feed Liu Rushuang the medicine, he suddenly discovered that Liu Rushuang had taken off all her upper body clothes at some point and was reaching out to untie her skirt.
Xia He was stunned on the spot, his eyes involuntarily falling on her.
Liu Rushuang has been practicing martial arts for many years. She has a slender and strong figure, smooth and well-proportioned muscle lines, and her skin has a healthy wheat color due to years of wind and sun exposure.
She has a slender waist and a faintly visible abdominal abs. She looks like a cheetah ready to pounce, full of strength and beauty.
Xia He only felt his throat dry and his heartbeat quickened.
"What a sinful figure...!"
He knew that if things continued like this, things would get out of control.
He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Rushuang's wrist, and stuffed the antidote into her mouth.
Liu Rushuang struggled for a few times, but the effect of the drug quickly took effect and her movements gradually slowed down.
Xia He took the opportunity to slap her on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.
"call……"
Xia He let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He gently placed Liu Rushuang on the stone couch, took off his coat and covered her with it, then turned around to pack up the letters and pills.
"What does his conspiracy have to do with me? Just report all these things to Li Dushi!"
After packing up, Xia He carried Liu Rushuang on his back and quickly left the dark room.
The leader of Ba Dao Sect ran away!
Xia He had just heard the news when he came out of the secret passage carrying Liu Rushuang.
