After Yang Chen took Feng Xiaowan away from City Lord Mu, they returned to their residence.
"Come back so soon?"
Lao Jiu was a little surprised when he saw Yang Chen and Feng Xiaowan coming back.
Yang Chen nodded and recounted the conversation he had just had with City Lord Mu.
After listening to what he said, Huai Lan said: "It seems that City Lord Mu has a way to deal with the alliance between King Yao and City Lord Huai. Otherwise, you have already mentioned it. Xiaowan has a way to improve the strength of a nine-level extraordinary expert. He can't.
I didn’t say that I wanted the shadow swordsman to accept Xiao Wanshi’s needle.”
Yang Chen nodded: "It's just that what makes me very confused is that even if City Lord Mu recovers his legs, he can barely suppress City Lord Huai. If King Yao and City Lord Huai come to the Mu Mansion together, how can he deal with it on his own?
"
Huai Lan said: "The strength of the shadow swordsman should not be as simple as it seems. He himself is in the middle of the ninth extraordinary realm. Of course, this is just a rumor. As for what level his martial arts realm is, I am afraid it is only
Shadow Swordsman and City Lord Mu know."
"Even if the Shadow Swordsman is in the middle stage of the Nine Extraordinary Realms, with the spiritual sword in his hand, he should be able to explode into strength comparable to the late stage of the Nine Extraordinary Realms."
"If City Lord Huai has no other backup plan, then the Shadow Swordsman's strength is at least in the late stage of the Ninth Extraordinary Realm. Only in this way can he use the spirit sword to explode into a strength that is comparable to the peak of the Ninth Extraordinary Realm."
Lao Jiu also nodded and said: "The shadow swordsman's strength should be in the late stage of the ninth extraordinary realm. The aura I felt from him before was extremely strong. That feeling was like facing the Lord Huai and Mu
It’s the same as when I was the city lord.”
Yang Chen said solemnly: "No matter what, what we have to do now is to be prepared to escape at any time. Once City Master Mu cannot bear the pressure of Huaicheng Mansion, we must find a way to leave."
Lao Jiu glanced at the three of them and said in a solemn voice: "Yang Chen is right. If the situation is not right, Xiaowan will use your acupuncture method to give me acupuncture. I will fight to the death to block the pursuers and help you."
Try to buy as much time as possible to escape."
"Master Jiu!"
Huai Lan and Feng Xiaowan both looked moved.
Yang Chen also looked at Lao Jiu with red eyes. During this trip to Huaicheng, Lao Jiu really helped him a lot. If it weren't for Lao Jiu, he would have died in Huaicheng long ago.
Lao Jiu's eyes swept over the three of them one by one, and finally landed on Yang Chen, and said: "Yang Chen, you are also a strong martial artist. You must not be merciful as a woman. If we are really in a desperate situation,
, you must find a way to take away Xiaowan and Xiaolan, do you understand?"
"One death is better than four deaths, right?"
"Besides, the strong man we face this time is very likely to be a person from the Nine Transcendent Realms. With your strength at the peak of the Seventh Transcendent Realm, you are no match for a strong man from the Nine Transcendent Realms. Even if you stay, there will only be a dead end.
"
"But if you can leave alive, even if I die, with your martial arts talent, one day your strength will reach the peak of the Nine Extraordinary Realms, or even surpass the peak of the Nine Extraordinary Realms. At that time, you will avenge me, okay?
?”
Looking at the unsmiling old man in front of him, Yang Chen's eyes were extremely red and he stared at Lao Jiu. After a while, he nodded seriously: "If that time really comes, I will leave with Xiaowan and Xiaolan!"
A smile appeared on Lao Jiu's face and he nodded slightly: "Okay!"
Huai Lan and Feng Xiaowan also looked sad, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing that everyone was in a very low mood, Lao Jiu said with a smile: "Okay, aren't there still strong men from the Mu family to support this? City Lord Mu must have a backup plan, and we will be fine."
Today is the first time in so many days that Yang Chen has seen Lao Jiu smile so many times.
Huai Lan suddenly asked: "Master Jiu, do you have a granddaughter?"
Lao Jiu was stunned for a moment, then looked bitter and shook his head: "I don't know!"
Huai Lan was surprised and said: "I don't know? How come you don't know if you have a granddaughter?"
Lao Jiu said: "Forty years ago, a group of unidentified strong men went to the village where I was and started killing people. That day, many people died in the village, and some people disappeared. When I returned to the village
