Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 353 An Inner Pill

When Wuzhan rushed to a village in Pingyang and found Bixia and others, a day had passed. The villagers learned that monsters were attacking, and they had fled to Handan with the people led by Xu Li and You Ji. All the houses were empty.

This place is located at the junction of two counties and is the only way from Handan to Julu. Therefore, they originally planned to wait here for the team led by Wang Ben to arrive while monitoring the next move of the monster.

The only people left behind were Wuzhan's disciples and Taishan's disciples. Ye Xiaoxiang had already left to meet the upcoming followers of the Nitian Sect.

When Miaoxin saw Wuzhan, she asked, "Is it her?" In fact, many people knew Wuzhan's purpose after he left and were looking forward to his answer.

Wuzhan nodded and said, "It's her, but she doesn't remember me."

Miao Xin frowned and said, "How could this happen!" She looked at Wu Zhan carefully and asked, "Sir, don't you want to find out the reason behind this?"

Wuzhan forced a smile and said, "This is a good result. She is now the princess of Qingqiu City, and I don't want to cause her any more trouble."

Jin Xingzi said anxiously, "What happened to the princess? Master has been searching for her so hard and finally found her. No, little face, take me to find her, even if I have to tie her up."

Wuzhan shouted, "Shut up! This is my own business. If you want to interfere, I will have no choice but to expel you from my sect!"

It was the first time that everyone saw Wuzhan so angry. Yunchu quickly winked at Jin Xingzi, asking him to stop talking. The whole atmosphere was very awkward.

Miaoxin had witnessed the separation of Wuzhan and Wanjiao, and one of the purposes of this voyage was to find Wanjiao. Now that she had found her, she could not recognize her, and even she was heartbroken.

Bixia remained silent. At this moment, she was the one who understood Wuzhan's thoughts the most, and could also understand Wuzhan's feelings at the moment. She glanced at Miaoxin and said, "You all go down. I have something to discuss with you, sir."

Miaoxin left the room somewhat unwillingly. Yunchu tugged at Jin Xingzi's clothes, and they both retreated in the end.

After a long while, Bixia sighed and asked, "Sir, what should we do?"

Wuzhan said: "We have agreed before, and we are going to do it. It would be best if Wang Ben could listen to my advice. Otherwise, we still have to rely on the Nitian Sect. However, this time I have found out a reliable news, which is very beneficial to us. The enemy army is a joint invasion of four families. There is a conspiracy hidden in it. Therefore, if we make good use of this conspiracy, we can also disintegrate them. I have come up with a plan..."

……

The moon was high and the wind was strong. The monster camp in Julu City was filled with blood. A figure walked out of the military tent and, with the help of several orcs, staggered back to his camp. This man was tall and thin, wearing leather armor, and had three heads, all with eagle eyes and sharp beaks, which made people intimidated. This man was none other than the general of Qingqiu City, the Ghost Guard.

After the ghost guard returned to the tent, he fell headfirst onto the animal skin rug. Just as he was about to take a rest, he heard the guard outside the tent report, "General, there are two demons outside the camp who want to see you. They say they have a rare treasure and want to present it to you personally."

When Gui Wei heard that there was a treasure to be presented to him, he hurriedly asked, "What treasure?"

The guard replied: "I see it is a black demon's inner elixir, it has at least a thousand years of magic power, and its color is bright."

"Let them come in to see me. I want to see if it is a treasure." Then he sat up again.

Soon after, four guards led two demons in Taoist robes into the tent. The short rat demon knelt on one knee in front of the ghost guards, holding a fist-sized inner elixir in his hand. He said, "This is what my master got when he killed the black demon. If it can be refined, it can at least reduce the cultivation of more than a thousand years. I learned that the ghost guard general from Qingqiu City was coming here, so I ordered this disciple to personally present it to the general."

As soon as the ghost guard saw the inner elixir, he sobered up immediately, and his six eyes could not be taken away. He saw that the inner elixir was changing seven colors, dazzling and shining, exuding abundant spiritual charm. It must have taken more than a thousand years of practice and a great opportunity to be so pure.

He immediately asked the guards to present it to him. He couldn't let it go after taking it in his hands. Three heads nodded frequently and three mouths praised it one after another. After a long time, one head raised its head and asked, "Why did your master give such a good inner elixir to me?"

The rat demon's eyes rolled and he chuckled, "My master admires the general and wants a position in the army."

"A certain position? No problem. No problem. You can get any position you want, except my position. It's just a matter of a word from me."

The rat demon said hurriedly: "Master, he is familiar with astronomy and geography, and is proficient in military tactics. He wants to become the general's adviser to assist the general."

"I am really in need of a military advisor. Go back and tell him to come!"

The rat demon hurriedly stood up and said, "Disciple thanks the general on behalf of my master. I will go and invite my master to see the general." After saying that, he walked out of the tent with another demon.

Not long after the two demons left, the ghost guard was still admiring the inner elixir in his hand when he heard the guard outside the tent say, "General Zaochi from Shanbo City wants to see you."

When the ghost guards heard this, their three heads shook at the same time, and they muttered, "What is he doing here?" They quickly collected their inner elixir, stood up and said, "Let him in!"

Not long after, they heard heavy footsteps coming in, opened the curtain, and laughed, "General Guiwei, you haven't even finished your drink yet, why are you running back!"

This man is tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, a black face and tiger eyes, and two sharp fangs exposed. Although he is smiling, his hideous look is hard to hide.

The ghost guard smiled and said, "I did drink too much tonight. I hope General Zaochi will forgive me."

Zaochi turned his head and said in a mysterious manner, "Let's not beat around the bush. I heard that General Guiwei got a treasure, which is said to be an extremely rare inner elixir. Can you take it out and let me see it?"

The ghost guard said hurriedly: "How can this be possible? This must be a mistake."

"Such a dazzling inner elixir will be invisible to a blind man if it is out of the camp. I tell you not to hide it. You are not here to steal it. You obviously don't treat me as a brother!" When the ghost guard was hesitating, he heard a shout outside the tent: "Chiyan City, General Jiuying wants to see you!"

Zaochi heard this and laughed, "I'm right, she knows it too."

The three faces of the ghost guards all showed displeasure, so they had to summon Jiuying again. Not long after, a woman walked in with her body twisted. This woman had a good figure, with curves in all the right places, but her whole body was covered with snake scales, her face was white, her eyes were green, her nose was wide and her mouth was long, and her hair was not made up of countless braids, but densely packed poisonous snakes, wriggling and wriggling, which was chilling.

After Jiuying came in, he smiled charmingly and said, "Oh, General Zaochi is here too. I guess he's here to see the treasure. That's perfect. I'll join in the fun and see what treasure General Guiwei got."

The ghost guard looked at the two people with his two heads respectively. One of his heads lowered, and when he saw that he could no longer hide the secret from others, he reluctantly took out the inner elixir and held it in his hand.

When the two saw the inner elixir, their eyes almost popped out and they involuntarily moved closer to the ghost guard. The ghost guard quickly carried the inner elixir behind him and stepped back, saying, "Stay away from me."

Zaochi exclaimed: "What a good thing! Hey... why don't you let us see it? Take it out quickly and let us feast our eyes."

Jiuying said: "We won't rob you, what are you afraid of? You haven't seen it clearly yet!"

The ghost guard took out the inner elixir again and said, "You can only look at it, don't come over, otherwise, I will have to ask you to leave."

Zaochi envied him for a while, then said, "Name a price, I can give you anything you need, how about a box of jewels?"

Jiuying sneered, "One box of jewels is nothing. How about I give you three boxes?"

The ghost guard quickly put away the inner elixir and said, "No matter how many jewels I get, I won't exchange it for anything. You have finished reading it, please go back!"

Zaochi said, "How about I offer five boxes of jewels and ten carts of human flesh?"

Jiuying snorted coldly, "I'll offer ten boxes of jewels, twenty carts of human flesh, and..." Then, he smiled charmingly at the ghost guard, "I am..."

The three ghost guards shook their heads, "No, no matter what you offer, I will never exchange it. This inner elixir is mine."

At this moment, a voice was heard outside the tent: "Prince Ao Yan of the Dragon Palace and General Ao Zhan want to see you!"

The three of them looked surprised when they heard this, as there was undoubtedly a new competitor.

When Ao Yan and Ao Zhan came in, as expected, they asked the Ghost Guard to take out the inner elixir again. After seeing this, the two sighed again. Ao Yan sighed and said, "General Ghost Guard also knows that I was accidentally injured a few days ago. Now I need such an inner elixir. What do you want, General? Just tell me directly."

The ghost guard looked at Ao Yan who was missing a dragon horn and said, "I also need this inner elixir. I'm sorry, Your Highness, please don't force me."

Ao Yan laughed and said, "How can this be forced upon me? Am I not discussing this with the general?"

The ghost guard said unhappily: "I will never exchange this inner elixir, no negotiation!"

Ao Yan insinuated, "General Guiwei, please don't be like this. Aren't we allies now? And after this is over, we will help you ascend to the throne. By then, you won't get what you want, so a mere inner elixir won't matter."

The ghost guard said: "This inner elixir is not an ordinary item. After taking it, your power will increase greatly, which is equivalent to practicing for a thousand years. Your Highness, please don't treat me as an idiot."

Ao Yan said sternly: "This inner elixir is like something that fell from the sky. General, you got it for free. You are doing me a favor and getting benefits at the same time. Isn't that good?"

The ghost guard hesitated and said, "If it's anything else, as long as Your Highness likes it, I can give it to Your Highness, but this inner elixir, ..."

Ao Yan threatened: "General, you should be aware of your situation now. If you offend our three families, not only will you lose the throne, but your entire clan will be destroyed."

The ghost guard looked at Zaochi and Jiuying who remained silent, and then asked Xiang Aoyan: "Are you forcing me?"

Ao Yan said: "It's fine if the general doesn't change, but don't blame us for standing idly by when the time comes."

The ghost guard hesitated for a long time, then sighed and said, "Well, since you all want it, let's exchange it for the best thing."

Ao Yan laughed and said, "Okay, okay!" He turned to Zaochi and Jiuying and said, "As long as you two don't fight with me, I will give each of you a box of jewels and ten carts of human flesh."

When the two heard this, they knew they would lose the competition for Ao Yan today, so who wouldn’t take advantage of this free deal? They all nodded in agreement.

Ao Yan smiled, very satisfied, and said to the ghost guard: "Don't worry, General. I will exchange ten boxes of jewels and fifty carts of human flesh for you. I will send someone to deliver the human flesh to your barracks right now. As for the jewels, I can only send five boxes at present. The rest will be delivered to you personally after I return to the Dragon Palace, and I will also give you ten mermaids from the Dragon Palace as an apology. What do you think, General?"

Upon hearing this, the ghost guard had no choice but to agree with reluctance and threw the inner elixir to Ao Yan.

After Ao Yan received the inner elixir, he laughed and said, "I said this is forcing the general. We all benefit from it, so why not do it!"
