Volume 4: The Rise of Wuji Dao Chapter 25: Sang Tianqi is killed, and the Li family keeps the guest
Seeing Sang Tianqi's claws silently grabbing Wu Yue's slender waist, and Wu Yue still felt nothing, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh.
After all, his little apprentice has too little combat experience. He may be able to bully weak opponents now, but if he encounters someone with similar strength, he will easily fall into danger.
He didn't let Wu Yue go out to train alone because he was worried about this.
So, when Sang Tianqi saw that he was about to turn defeat into victory, a ferocious smile appeared in his eyes, but he suddenly felt a pain deep in his head, and his whole body stiffened.
As a result, he missed his last chance.
Wu Yue's sword slid off his bronze helmet, but then he swung it back and slashed Sang Tianqi's throat.
Wu Yue noticed Sang Tianqi's abnormal behavior just now and knew that it was Su Yan who took action. Then she noticed that Sang Tianqi's hand was almost reaching her waist. Only then did she realize how dangerous the situation was.
“Master…”
Su Yan interrupted her and said, "We can talk later. Kill the person first."
Wu Yuewei nodded, turned around and rushed towards Li Jinyang.
At this time, the bandits of the Thirteen Linked Docks discovered that Sang Tianqi had been killed, and chaos broke out.
Most of the bandits in the fortress where Sang Tianqi belonged were angry and red-eyed, and they rushed towards Wu Yue without caring about their lives.
Some of the bandits in other forts took the opportunity to attack Li Jinyang and his two companions, while others simply fled.
The Thirteen Linked Villages was just an underworld force that was united by Sang Tianqi alone in recent years, but now that Sang Tianqi is dead, people's hearts have immediately dispersed.
Wu Yue circulated his true energy and swung his sword, killing or injuring the bandits who had surrounded him.
Then she stood up and leaped to Li Jinyang 's side, killing all the bandits around her with a few swords.
It was then that the remaining bandits realized that with Sang Tianqi's death, all of them combined were no match for Wu Yue, and were not even strong enough for Wu Yue to kill. They completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
Wu Yue chased after them and killed a few of them who escaped slowly before giving up.
When she turned around, she saw Li Jinyang kneeling on the ground with weak legs.
One of Li Jinyang's two servants died and the other was seriously injured.
"Have your men bandage their wounds as quickly as possible. It is not advisable to stay here for long."
After giving these instructions, Wu Yue went over and touched Sang Tianqi's body.
Having followed Su Yan for so long, and with the fact that there was a corpse-touching maniac named Xue Xiuyi in Wuji Dao, Wu Yue naturally knew the importance of corpse-touching.
However, she would not touch every corpse, but would select the valuable ones.
For example, Sang Tianqi’s body.
Unfortunately, Sang Tianqi was a bandit. Apart from the dragon-headed large ring knife, chain mail and copper helmet, which were worth some money, he didn't even have a copper coin.
Su Yan estimated that in Sang Tianqi's life, "robbing" has replaced "buying", so there is naturally no need for him to carry money with him.
In the end, Wu Yue only took a copper token from Sang Tianqi's waist.
At first glance, the front is engraved with "Thirteen Linked Docks" and the back is engraved with "Big Boss."
"This token should represent Sang Tianqi's identity. It may not be useful to you. But we still have to go to Dongyu County, so just take it with you." Su Yan said in a voice transmission.
Wu Yue nodded.
While Wu Yue was touching the corpse for a while, Li Jinyang's servants also simply treated his wounds.
Seeing that there were still a few horses scattered around , Su Yan suggested riding a horse.
Li Jinyang now only wanted to return to Gu County as soon as possible, so naturally he had no objection.
Next, the three of them each rode a horse, took the official road, and returned to Gu County as quickly as possible.
Wu Yue doesn't know how to ride a horse.
But she was an eighth-level acquired warrior after all, and with Su Yan's telepathic guidance, she quickly learned the horse riding skills after mastering them.
In addition, Li Jinyang and his servant were one tired and the other injured, and they were not riding fast, so Wu Yue had no pressure at all to follow.
Afterwards, perhaps because there was no one to lead or command them, Wu Yue and the other two were never intercepted by the Thirteen Lianhuanwu bandits along the way.
When we reached the middle of Dongqiu County, a new message appeared in the simulator achievement information box:
The Wuji Dao disciple killed Sang Tianqi, dismantled the Thirteen Linked Docks , and obtained 200 achievement points!
Over the past two years, under Su Yan's instructions, the disciples of the entire Wuji Dao have been almost all concentrating on practicing martial arts. In addition, no new disciples have been recruited, and no special talents like alchemists have emerged, so the sect's achievement value has not increased.
Of course, Su Yan never used the achievement points again.
Until this time when he let Wu Yue out for training, he used the Divine Possession Disciple once, spending 100 points of achievement value.
Now with another 200 points obtained, the sect's achievement value has reached 4790 points.
In addition, this information can make Su Yan sure that the matter of Thirteen Linked Docks has come to an end.
Sure enough, Wu Yue and the other two safely left Dongqiu and entered Xianglin County.
Although there were bandits in Xianglin, they were not as big as the Thirteen Linked Docks. The most important thing was that no one here got the news in advance and planned to intercept Li Jinyang.
When they reached the border between Xianglin and Gu County, the three men met a team sent by Donglin Pharmacy to pick them up.
Although they were all servants of the Li family and clerks of the medicine store, and their highest martial arts level was only the third or fourth level, there were more than a dozen of them, which made Li Jinyang feel more at ease.
Seeing this, Wu Yue said goodbye to Li Jinyang.
"Since Master Li has already arrived in Gu County and has servants to take care of him, I won't send him off any longer."
Li Jinyang was just about to take a nap in the carriage, but when he saw this, he immediately got up and said earnestly, "Miss Wu Yue, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, our Gu County is not peaceful, so why don't you just take me home?"
Wu Yue thought it would only take half a day, so she agreed.
Half a day later, the group arrived at Gu County, at the Li family mansion, and it was already dark.
Li Jinyang went to the inner house for a while, then came out and said, "Miss Wu Yue, my mother heard that you saved my life, and she insisted on keeping you for dinner, saying that she wanted to thank you very much. And it's getting late, why don't you stay at my house for a night?"
Wu Yue wanted to refuse, but at this time a wealthy old woman came.
"Mom, this is Miss Wu Yue." Li Jinyang introduced.
"Wu Yue meets Madam Li." Wu Yue also said hello.
Out of politeness, she took off her hat while speaking, which immediately made everyone in the yard feel brightened.
Many of the Li family's male servants were stunned, and even the maids showed expressions of amazement.
Then Li's mother came forward and took Wu Yue's hand, looking at her with shining eyes and said, "Miss, this time it's all thanks to you for saving my son, otherwise if anything happened to him, I wouldn't be able to survive. It's getting late, why don't you stay here to rest for a night and leave tomorrow, how about that?"
Mrs. Li's enthusiasm reminded Wu Yue of her deceased grandmother.
After hearing Su Yan didn't say anything, she nodded and smiled slightly, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam Li."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Li's mother and Li Jinshan looked at each other, both of them were delighted.
Next, Li's mother naturally had someone arrange a room for Wu Yue and asked the servants to prepare wine and food.
Wu Yue had been sleeping in the wild for several days. Since she had the conditions to do so at Li's house, she naturally had to take a bath and wash up.
While Wu Yue was bathing, Li Jinyang, who had finished bathing earlier, was in the main room discussing something with his mother.
Li Jinyang first whispered in Li's mother's ear for a while.
Mother Li gradually frowned, and after hearing this, she said hesitantly: "My son, do you really have to do this? She is your savior, and she is also very skilled in martial arts..."
"Mother, that's why I have to do this." Li Jinyang interrupted his mother, "Otherwise, she will leave tomorrow and take away the thousand-year-old ginseng that I risked my life to bring back, as well as ten thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, this time we were intercepted by the Thirteen Linked Docks, it was clear to me that our Li family lacks experts to take charge.
Wu Yue is an expert in martial arts. As long as my son can get her and make her a member of our Li family, who will dare to bully us in the future?
Besides, after the matter is settled, my son will make her his legal wife, not a concubine. She is just a person from a small sect, so it can be said that she is marrying up to our level."
After hearing this, Li's mother still looked hesitant.
Seeing this, Li Jinyang used his ultimate move. He grabbed Li's mother's sleeve and shook her, saying, "Mom, haven't you always wanted me to get married and have children? Now that I finally find someone I like, why are you being so nagging? Do you want me to be single for the rest of my life?"
Li's mother's doting on her son finally prevailed. After hearing this, she sighed and said, "Okay, I'll help you this time."
