Chapter 154 – Witchcraft
Chapter 154: Witchcraft
The sun was rising to the east, so he had to quickly return to the Swordsman Hall headquarters, otherwise he could not explain everything. Of course Lin Mu Yu was confident that no one would investigate the matter of him sending the three maids away because Ji Yang still needed his strength, otherwise he would have taken care of him after he killed Shi Hai.
The horse did not stop as he headed towards the headquarters, but when he was on the hill side, he saw a group of people busying themselves in the distance, making a lot of noise. Lin Mu Yu quickly moved forward and saw a terrifying scene.
There was a piece of dead wood and hanging from the dead wood was a person. There were two arrows in his chest and blood was draining out of him. The clothes on his chest had been ripped and there were two vultures on his shoulders. The vultures kept dipping their head and eating his flesh, each time they did so, his body trembled in pain.
He carefully looked at his boots. There was a small “righteousness” character on it that seemed very familiar. It was Luo Yu!
“Luo Yu!”
Lin Mu Yu quickly rushed forward and dismounted his horse. He sent out a palm filled with battle qi and knocked aside the vultures. He used his gourd martial spirit to create a vine that held Luo Yu and the prairie sword came out of its sheath to cut the wired rope. The gourd vine slowly came back, bringing Luo Yu down from the cliff.
“Ah…..Wu……”
Luo Yu was already incredibly weak as he slightly opened his eyes. It welcomed the dazzling sunlight and Lin Mu Yu’s angry face. As if he had seen hope, he said,, “Sir Lin Yan, you….You’re back…..”
“What happened?!”
Lin Mu Yu coldly looked around him and roared, “What happened here? Who was the one that put Luo Yu in this condition? Tell me now!”
The Rogues and Rangers were all silent. Only a single Gold Ranger holding an extravagant sword walked out and gently said, “Sir Lin Yan, Envoy Luo Yu secretly took one hundred and fourteen diamond coins from North Mountain which has been confirmed by the Great Envoy, resulting in Luo Yu losing his Envoy position and being expelled from Swordsman Hall. The Great Envoy personally gave the order for Luo Yu to hang from this cliff, letting the vultures eat his flesh. Sir Lin Yan, I advise you to put him down. This is a disciplinary action for him and no one can stop it, not even you.”
This Gold Ranger was clearly someone on Ji Yang’s side, otherwise he wouldn’t have such hostility with Lin Mu Yu.
Lin Mu Yu looked at the weak Luo Yu and couldn’t stop his heart from being hurt. Luo Yu was the only person in Swordsman Hall that had a conscience, but it was a pity that he ended with this fate. Thinking about it, this was related to him. If he hadn’t talked to him about embezzling those two hundred and twenty eight diamond coins, Luo Yu wouldn’t be in this situation.
“No…..”
He lightly shook his head and loosened the cape from his back, putting over Luo Yu. He said to that Gold Ranger, “No matter what, I will protect Luo Yu from this. This is something I should do as his friend.”
The Gold Ranger gave a cold snort, “Really? Sir Lin Yan, you were promoted to the Envoy rank in just three days, why would you give it all up for a traitor like Luo Yu?”
Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help laughing as battle qi surrounded his body, releasing the aura of a Heaven Realm expert. His eyes had killing intent in them as he said in a low roar, “Luo Yu did not betray anyone. Listen to me, he did not betray anyone!”
The group of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Rangers were all stunned, no one thought that Lin Mu Yu would have this kind of aura. Those eyes looking over everything like he didn’t even place them in his eyes. With Lin Mu Yu’s aura, these pretentious people mistakenly felt like they were nothing more than ants. Perhaps, it wasn’t just a mistake.
“Lin Yan……”
Luo Yu brought his hand to Lin Mu Yu’s bracer in a difficult manner and said, “You have to be careful…..”
His meaning was very clear. Luo Yu was punished because he secretly took the diamond coins, but Lin Mu Yu had also taken one hundred and fourteen diamond coins. In terms of guilt, Lin Mu Yu was not below him.
At this moment, Lin Mu Yu had supported Luo Yu onto the horse and mounted it, heading in the direction of headquarters. This horse was indeed a good horse. It was already taking deep breaths after running for an entire night, but now it also had to carry two people up the mountain. It really was hard on this horse.
“Sir Gold Ranger Lin Yan is back!” In the yard of the headquarters, there were already people shouting reports.
Looking from a distance, the Great Envoy’s throne had already been moved outside and a group of high ranking Rangers were surrounding him. Ji Yang narrowed his eyes from his throne, looking at Lin Mu Yu. As for Li Qian Xun sitting on the side, he had a cold smile on his face as he looked at Lin Mu Yu and Luo Yu.
“Huala..….”
Lin Mu Yu carried Luo Yu as he dismounted and slowly walked forward. He helped Luo Yu sit down and then said in a light voice while cupping his hands, “Sir Great Envoy, Lin Yan wishes to guarantee Luo Yu’s life.”
“Is that so?”
Ji Yang opened his eyes and looked at Lin Mu Yu with a cold smile. Those eyes seemed like they could see right through him, making Lin Mu Yu unable to stop his mind from shaking. No, Ji Yang was stronger than him, so he couldn’t let him see into his mind. He quickly released the Spiritual Pulse Technique and instantly calmed his mind. With cupped hands, he continued to say, “This subordinate and Luo Yu are good friends. Since Luo Yu has made a mistake, then this subordinate will bear it with him. I request the Great Envoy to take back his orders and spare Luo Yu’s life?”
“Spare Luo Yu’s life?”
Ji Yang’s palm suddenly fell onto the table and the table turned into shreds. His face was covered in anger as he stood up with vigorous battle qi surrounding his body. This was battle qi that was stronger than Lin Mu Yu’s. It was the 2nd Heaven Realm tier! Without concealing his anger, Ji Yang coldly said, “Luo Yu secretly took one hundred and ten thousand gold coins. As an Envoy, he still did something as despicable as this. Lin Yan, tell me, why should I let Luo Yu go?”
Lin Mu Yu’s eyes turned firm and he looked up at Ji Yang. Without succumbing to the aura, he said, “Please tell me Great Envoy, what will it take to let Luo Yu go? I will do as you wish!”
“Very good!”
Ji Yang gave a faint laugh and said, “I will let Luo Yu go, but your Lin Yan’s life will belong to me. How about that?”
“Fine.” Lin Mu Yu clenched his fist and they slightly trembled.
“Very good!”
Ji Yang laughed and said, “This one will announce that Sir Lin Yan will be officially promoted to the Envoy rank and will be one of the two envoys. We’ll open the altar in the afternoon and make the blood vow!”
“Blood vow?” Lin Mu Yu was stunned.
Luo Yu on the side slowly shook his head, “Lin Yan, don’t……”
“It’s fine.”
Lin Mu Yu nodded and clearly said, “Everything will be as the Great Envoy wishes.”
“Good!”
Supporting Luo Yu to the side, Lin Mu Yu pulled out a bottle of healing medicine for his wounds. Luo Yu revealed a look of pain as he said, “Lin Yan, you really should not agree to their blood vow.”
“Why?”
“Because…..” Luo Yu revealed a pained expression and said, “Lingnan is the land of heroes. Ji Yang was from Lingnan and there is a religious sect in Lingnan called ‘Witch Sect’. The people there practice witchcraft and Li Qian Xun is one of those who excels at witchcraft. His blood is filled with a kind of insect poison and once you drink his blood, you will be poisoned, without any freedom. I have been in the headquarters for many years and deliberately avoided this blood vow. You….What will you do?”
“Witchcraft……”
Lin Mu Yu thought for a bit and then said with a smile “Relax, I’ll be fine.”
Saying this, Lin Mu Yu looked at the medicine in his Qiankun Bag, letting out a sigh after a few seconds. It was a good thing that he still had two bottles of Gathering Scattered Divinity. As long as he drinks this Gathering Scattered Divinity first, his body will be immune to poisons, so it didn’t matter even if he drank this insect poison. So while everyone was not paying attention, he drank a bottle of Gathering Scattered Divinity.
He felt a little proud after drinking this. You have your witchcraft, but I have my Alchemy God level alchemy skills, who’s afraid of who?
After lunch, on the high stage outside the headquarters, with Ji Yang in front, all the Envoys, Gold Rangers, and Silver Rangers made a blood vow. There was a large vat filled with wine that Ji Yang stepped in front of. He bit his middle finger and dripped a drop of blood into the container.
Li Qian Xun had an uncertain expression on his face, wanting to smile, but holding it back. When he bit his finger, a drop of dark red blood fell into the wine, but the Gold Rangers and Silver Rangers did not care. Perhaps it was because they were too low ranked and didn’t know the secret of Li Qian Xun’s witchcraft skills.
“Sir Lin Yan, it’s your turn.” Li Qian Xun reached out his hands, gesturing for him to take his turn.
Lin Mu Yu immediately came forward and opened his mouth to bite his middle finger, but he couldn’t bite through it. After refining his skin, his skin was not a normal degree of being hard. He took out his prairie sword to slice his hand and let the blood flow into the wine.
Then the Gold and Silver Rangers all placed a drop of blood in the wine.
Lin Mu Yu saw this and then secretly gave a sigh, hoping that the Gathering Scattered Divinity would work. Otherwise these people…..Fuck, these Gold and Silver Rangers all played with prostitutes, eating and drinking everything, who knew what kind of hepatitis B, syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, and etc. kind of diseases they had. If he drank this, even if he wasn’t poisoned, he would be infected with various diseases!
“Sir Envoy Lin Yan, please drink this entire cup!” A Ranger with a full beard placed the wine with blood inside in front of Lin Mu Yu, speaking in a grand manner.
Lin Mu Yu looked up and found that Li Qian Xun and Ji Yang were looking at him.
“Forget it, this is also destiny…..”
Tears came to the corner of his eyes as Lin Mu Yu raised this cup of wine and drank it down. A kind of fragrant and spicy feeling entered his throat and he broke the porcelain cup while shouting, “Good wine!”
Ji Yang and Li Qian Xun both drank the “poisoned wine” while laughing. Ji Yang had also drank it, so he should have swallowed the poison’s medicine, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to control Li Qian Xun with his status.
After several minutes, his abdomen filled with a strange feeling that created warmth. Lin Mu Yu knew that this was the effect of the poison. Had the Gathering Scattered Divinity worn off and had no use against this poison? Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help filling with worry.
“Brat, you’re poisoned. What will you do?”
From his sea of consciousness came the Seven Luminary Demon King’s voice. He was the one that understood Lin Mu Yu’s body the most and would feel it instantly.
“You will help me solve it…..” Lin Mu Yu used his spiritual sense to say this with a smile.
The Seven Luminary Demon King gave a cold snort.
Not long passed and a cool feeling came from inside of him, which was the Seven Luminary Demon King swallowing the poison. Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help giving a secret sigh. Damn, have a demon king in his body actually had its uses sometimes.
