When Lu Hanjiang stepped on it, the one he dug out let out a shrill cry like a ghost, the sound was so loud that almost everyone in the inn could hear it.
Jin Yiwei's reaction was the fastest. They immediately gathered people to seal off Caiwei's room. Cui Yixiao opened the door and took a look. After confirming that Mr. Lu was fine, he immediately left.
Immediately afterwards, all the guests in the inn were forcibly expelled. Those who disobeyed had a bright embroidered spring knife across their necks before they screamed. Suddenly, gasps of air-conditioning could be heard from the crowd.
Everyone in the inn, including the shopkeeper, immediately disappeared from Jin Yiwei's sight in less than half a stick of incense.
When the sounds outside calmed down, the Gu insect struggling at the foot of Lu Hanjiang had become endangered. The light on its body was weakening visibly to the naked eye, and its sharp screams turned into low moans as if begging for mercy.
Lu Hanjiang slowly moved his shoes away, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He said that this was the first thing that could still survive after he took action twice.
The faint light of the Holy Spirit Gu worm was like a firefly before, pitifully bleak compared to the bright moon. Its low mournful cry was like music composed by sorrow, constantly touching the deepest compassion in people's hearts.
Lu Hanjiang lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He then ordered Cui Yixiao on the other side of the door: "Take everyone out."
Cui Yixiao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded. He called for the princess's maids Hu Huo and Xiang Xiang, and asked them to call Yongle and Shangluo respectively, and then the group quickly evacuated the place.
In the room, Lu Hanjiang stared at the Gu insect. The moment he became murderous, a very strange feeling came over him. There seemed to be some force preventing him from doing so.
This weird resistance is not an external factor, but a kind of "unwillingness" and "rejection" from the heart. When he raised his feet and pointed at the Gu insect, something indescribable came into his heart.
Pity and sadness.
Weird emotions that came from nowhere suddenly filled Lu Hanjiang's mind. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night many years ago, when someone held his hand and pierced his chest with a sword.
The feeling of absurdity and disgust spread in his heart. Lu Hanjiang laughed, put down his raised foot, and slowly touched the Tianji Sword on his waist with his hand on his side.
Outside, just after Cui Yixiao led others out of the inn, he heard an earth-shattering explosion and a sword light rising into the sky behind him. When he turned around, he immediately felt a violent wind and wave.
Rolling in.
With the inn as the center, everything on the surrounding streets was swept away. He and the surrounding brothers immediately protected the princess and Shangluo, and it took a lot of effort to barely stabilize their bodies.
Cui Yixiao looked up in horror. The sword energy rushed into the clouds, like a blue-white electric light crashing down. The night sky above his head suddenly became as bright as day.
As the wind and waves swept across, there was a sudden thunderclap in the air, golden snakes scurrying around, and the entire inn instantly disintegrated and turned into ruins.
Cui Yixiao looked at the center of the ruins in horror. There was a handsome man standing gracefully holding the Divine Weapon Tianji Sword. It was Lu Hanjiang.
He then breathed a sigh of relief and signaled with his eyes to the brothers around him to protect the princess and Shangluo, while he silently moved closer to prepare for orders at any time.
On top of the ruins, Lu Hanjiang sheathed his sword, patted the dust on his body, and looked down at the Holy Spirit Gu worm that was split into two pieces and completely silent. He felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart, as if he had cut off some kind of chain.
It's usually broken.
However, this feeling went away as quickly as it came. Lu Hanjiang had to admit that the memories triggered by the cries of the poisonous insects did calm him down for a long time, causing some slight fluctuations.
But that's all.
He seemed to have discovered that the memories that had a profound impact on him were gradually losing their original role. When he recalled those past memories again, most of them were blurry and unclear.
Maybe he didn't think those things were so important. Until now, he couldn't even remember the name of that clan brother.
After a brief silence, Lu Hanjiang leaned over to pick up a piece of wood and fiddled with the dead Gu insect. The moment the wood piece touched the Gu insect, the latter immediately turned into fly ash, leaving no trace.
He raised his eyebrows. That was the end of the matter. He had no intention of paying attention to it anymore. It was only when he looked at Caiwei lying aside that he seemed to remember something again.
Lu Hanjiang had already exercised great restraint on the sword strike just now, considering Caiwei's existence and the location of this place. He did regard human life as nothing, but he was not a murderer.
Under the premise that he deliberately avoided Caiwei, the girl was not injured by the sword energy, but after the Gu was stripped away, the opponent's vitality immediately dropped to a very dangerous level.
Lu Hanjiang planned to show the other party, but the elusive white snake jumped out quickly and protected Caiwei with his body.
Lu Hanjiang said funnyly: "So you have been hiding. It seems that Miss Caiwei is right. Your intelligence is already comparable to that of others. In this case, you should also understand that if I don't take action, your master will definitely die."
.”
Hiss——!
White Snake let out a cry of pain, its eyes full of complex emotions, as if he was hesitating whether to protect it to the end or to retreat and give up the chance of survival.
At this tense moment of confrontation, another group of people arrived, it was the Yuwen family who was responsible for hunting down Gongsun and other martial arts masters during the day.
Yu Wenzhao was also shocked by the loud noise. He didn't expect that this small town was also roaring with dragons and tigers roaring. Who dared to lie down and sleep quietly with such a master beside him.
Yu Wenzhao looked at the center of the storm, where the Jinyi Guards were on guard. He saw Lu Hanjiang and the seriously injured Saint, but no enemy.
Under the signal from Lu Hanjiang's eyes, Cui Yixiao and others did not take action to intercept the opponent. Yu Wenzhao came to Lu Hanjiang alone and frowned at Caiwei, who was protected by the white snake.
"This is..." Yu Wenzhao asked with a somewhat solemn tone.
"It was an assassin," Lu Hanjiang said without blinking, "It was an assassin who did it. The person immediately fled thousands of miles away after being hit. Mr. Yuwen came too late."
Yu Wenzhao had a cold face and said nothing. With his eyesight, he knew that Caiwei was on his deathbed as soon as he saw her. He thought for a moment, took a deep look, and took out something from his arms.
"Oh? This is it?" Lu Hanjiang looked at the medicine bottle in Yu Wenzhao's hand and asked curiously.
"Good stuff from the Gongsun family."
Yu Wenzhao's words were surprising. He explained: "What Gongsun Wang is carrying may be useful."
Lu Hanjiang took it and looked at it, and he was also surprised. This was the Destiny Resurrection Pill, a magical pill developed by Gongsun Wang to specifically restrain the Huangfu family's Heavenly Poison Crying Mind and Body.
There are only three pills in this elixir. Lu Peng, the cousin of the Gongsun family, once used this magical elixir to save his life after he was plotted against him. Jin Yiwei was behind this incident, so Lu Hanjiang knew this thing.
It's just that whether this elixir that can cure hundreds of poisons can extend your life is another matter.
Lu Hanjiang thought about it, and found that the ingredients used in the elixirs were all natural and precious, and the Heavenly Poison Weeping Heart was able to withstand one or two and survive. It shouldn't be a big problem.
However, after he took the elixir, he did not rush to give it to Caiwei. Instead, he cast his playful eyes on the white snake who was protecting her.
One man and one beast were facing each other quietly. Perhaps because the beast's intuition was stronger, White Snake stared closely at the Destiny Resurrection Pill in Lu Hanjiang's hand.
Lu Hanjiang was also very interested in making a deal with a beast for the first time. At this time, any words were redundant. Compared to people, these ferocious monsters were actually simpler.
After a long time, Caiwei's voice became weaker and weaker. Finally, the white snake couldn't bear it. It showed its extremely human side. It lowered its huge head and touched the girl's face gently.
After a brief moment of tenderness with its master, the white snake slowly came to Lu Hanjiang, leaned down, and moved its proud snake head downward slightly. A low whimpering sound came from its throat, which represented the meaning of surrender.
