Chapter 144 The Seriously Injured Bai Xiao
"What does it mean?"
Chen Xian still did not let down his guard and raised his fist towards Chang Yun.
"Brother Chen, wait a minute, let's hear her explanation first." Lu Yuguan stretched out his hand to stop Chen Xian.
"I know you don't believe me," Chang Yun said with a wry smile, "There are other demon cultivators here, so it's not convenient to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
After hesitating for a moment, the two nodded.
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task]
[Reward: 6 Civilization Value]
Looking at the female guards who fell to the ground, Lu Yuguan stretched out his right hand and released healing magic.
"Sacrificial Rain—"
As the words fell, many raindrops appeared out of thin air above the stage and gently floated onto the guards. The marks of injuries inflicted by Chen Xian were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chang Yun watched Lu Yuguan casting a spell in shock. She couldn't understand why this man knew so many magic tricks.
"What kind of spiritual roots do you have?" Chang Yun couldn't help but ask.
"Me?" Lu Yuguan scratched his head and said, "It should be...wood spirit roots, right?"
He also didn't know what kind of spiritual roots he had now.
Who has ever seen a spiritual root with self-awareness?
"A top-grade single spiritual root is indeed different from that of ordinary people!" Chang Yun sighed.
Lu Yuguan put away his weapon embarrassedly, and then looked at the three intact jade bottles on the ground.
"By the way, what's in here?" Lu Yuguan asked puzzledly.
Chang Yun: "A bottle of Golden Gun Liquid, a bottle of Hallucinogenic Powder, and a bottle of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil."
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Chen Xian: “…”
Chang Yun: "It's just some ordinary skills."
As expected of the owner of a flower building, even his fighting style is so fresh and refined.
Chang Yun reached out to wake up the veiled woman who had fallen to the ground, and told her to clean up the mess. She then took Lu Yuguan and Chen Xian with her and walked through the back passage to a compartment on the upper floor of Wenxiang Pavilion.
"Tell me first, what's the matter?" Lu Yuguan said.
Chang Yun looked into their eyes and organized her words slightly.
"After the demon cultivators occupied Yiluo that day, they did not massacre people. Instead, they allied with the nobles and enslaved the people."
"The remaining high-ranking officials wanted to resist, but were suppressed by the demon general. He massacred all nine clans, and since then, no one dared to resist."
"They often capture women and enslave them, while the men are taken as male concubines and hidden in the residences of various demon cultivators."
"The Chang family relied on the business of selling sexual pets to gain the favor of the demon cultivators. Forced by the demon cultivators' power and the fact that it could at least allow some people to survive, they took on this business."
"As one of the three major brothels in Yiluo, Wenxiang Pavilion must regularly collect handsome men from all over the world as tribute, otherwise it will be razed to the ground by the demon cultivators."
"In order to protect the people, the people in the pavilion volunteered to go and sacrifice themselves."
The two were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that the seemingly dark operation of Wenxiang Pavilion had such a reason.
Lu Yuguan's head tightened, and he suddenly frowned and said, "No, what does this have to do with us?"
Chang Yun's red lips moved slightly as she said, "Actually it's like this..." Before she finished her words, the maid's voice came from outside the door again.
"Sister Chang, the man has woken up again and said he wants to see you." The waitress said hurriedly.
Chang Yun sighed, looked at Lu Yuguan and Chen Xian, and said, "It seems that I don't need to explain. Come with me."
The two were confused, but since Chang Yun had no hostility, they relaxed their tense nerves a little.
Led by Chang Yun, the two came to an exquisitely decorated house. A wooden sign with the name "Chang Yun" was clearly hung at the door.
"Two days ago, when I was escorting him out of the city, I met a seriously injured man on the road," Chang Yun slowly opened the door and continued to read, "He claimed to be a general of Longhua State. Unfortunately, he was injured by a villain. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe. I can't fully treat him, so I can only place him here temporarily."
"general?"
Lu Yuguan's head trembled. He hurried into the house and happened to see Bai Xiao covered in bandages.
"Brother!" Lu Yuguan shouted in surprise.
"Third brother? The kid from the Chen family?" Bai Xiao was stunned. "Why are you here?"
"How did you get injured like this?" Lu Yuguan asked Bai Xiao with a concerned look.
Bai Xiao sat on the edge of the bed in a mess, his face pale, half of his body wrapped in bandages, with bloody marks on them.
"It's a long story..." Bai Xiao said with a wry smile.
"Shut your mouth." Chang Yun frowned and interrupted him.
Chang Yun stepped forward and covered Bai Xiao's mouth. Her fish-white fingers stroked the man's thin lips and gently put him down.
"I'm fine!"
Bai Xiao was just about to speak when his chest suddenly shook and he started coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough..."
"I told you to get some rest, but you refused to listen," Chang Yun crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him helplessly. "Since you both know each other, just lie down and talk. Don't be so stubborn."
Bai Xiao bit his lip and finally compromised.
"Why are you here instead of staying with the prince?" Bai Xiao asked weakly.
"Brother, Chen Xian and I were ordered to come find you." Lu Yuguan explained.
Lu Yuguan told Bai Xiao everything that happened after Dayang Mountain, and Bai Xiao was shocked after hearing it.
"I didn't expect Taocheng to be polluted!" Bai Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Pollution?" Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully, "What does this mean?"
Bai Xiao looked at the ceiling and slowly said, "Ever since I learned that the Ninth Prince was arrested, I led Bai Ming and others to look for him."
"We followed the trails left by the demon cultivators and headed west, only to encounter a large number of demons along the way."
"What kind of monster?" Chang Yun asked.
"A lot." Bai Xiao looked at her with a complicated expression. "There are demonized monsters and various deformed humans. They have almost no consciousness and only the instinct to kill."
"I've seen creatures like this in the desert west of Longhua Country. They're all products of transformation by certain demons. In the military camp, we call them contaminated beings."
"These contaminated bodies, refined from natural creatures, although lacking intelligence, can obey the commands of their owners and carry out designated attacks."
"All the contaminated bodies we encountered were controlled by two demonic cultivators in black robes. I suspect they are the culprits who abducted the Ninth Prince."
Lu Yuguan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Unexpectedly, the divine pig they killed in Taocheng was also a kind of pollutant, and the old farmer who fed it was probably also the owner who was influenced by the evil cultivator.
"Then...where's Bai Ming?" Lu Yuguan asked hurriedly, "Where did Bai Ming go?"
"That's exactly what I hadn't expected."
Bai Xiao pressed his heart painfully, trying to ease the discomfort in his body.
"Do you remember the four people who fought against you in Lishutang?" Bai Xiao said breathlessly.
"Of course I remember." Lu Yuguan nodded in response.
"There are hidden demon cultivators among them."
