Chapter 257: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Chapter 257: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Just as the Ningchuan incident came to an end, another thorny incident came. Su Yu's maid ran to the general's mansion to inform them that Su Yu had disappeared, and Jiang Xian had also disappeared without a trace.
"!!!"
Mu Huayan and the others quickly rushed to Anhou Mansion and interrogated everyone in the mansion. They learned that when Su Yu returned to the mansion, Jiang Xian began to hurt people uncontrollably.
Finally, Jiang Xian ran out of the mansion and Su Yu chased after him. Now Su Yu has not come back yet, which means that she and Jiang Xian disappeared together.
Just when Mu Huayan was about to use magic to track her whereabouts, a woman helped Su Yu back to the mansion. This woman happened to be Bing Yun who was transformed into a person to conceal her whereabouts.
"I saw the daughter of Marquis An's mansion collapsed at the corner of an alley, so I just sent her back to the mansion."
Mu Huayan thanked the woman and sent her out the door and explained something to her. After a while, Su Yu woke up and frantically looked for Jiang Xian's whereabouts.
It was obvious to the naked eye that her eyes were red from crying, and there were still many traces of tears on her cheeks. "Sister Mu, please, I beg you to help me find my Ah Xian."
She was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound. When she was about to kneel down and beg, Mu Huayan immediately helped her up and said, "Miss Su, calm down first."
She kept making various gestures, her voice hoarse from crying, "I can't lose him, he is very important to me."
Mu Huayan wiped the tears from her cheeks and comforted her, saying that she would definitely help find Jiang Xian's whereabouts. Just as Mu Huayan was about to untie her own restraints,
A maid came in and reported that Jiang Xian was found in a forest in Huayu County, and he was besieged by a large number of monks.
Mu Huayan was a little skeptical at first and wanted to use her spiritual sense to investigate, but she was disturbed by a damn spiritual power.
Unless she recovers to the strength of a quasi-immortal emperor, she can break the restraint and release her spiritual sense to investigate. However, this will alert the enemy and all her previous efforts will be in vain.
Su Yu stepped forward, grabbed the maid's arm and asked, "Which forest is he in?"
The maid was so hurt by her grip that she showed a painful expression on her face, "In the woods."
There are many trees called Hansang in the Zhexian Forest, and the red and blue flowers it blooms are called Xuehan Flowers. The flowers are colorful and fragrant and can be used as medicine, but the cold air it emits is extremely oppressive, and it is also very toxic.
Monsters dare not approach them, otherwise their poison will invade their meridians and eventually kill them. The cold air they emit is also harmful to monks. Once the cold air enters the body, the tendons and veins will be broken and they will eventually die.
Su Yu staggered back, tears falling from her eyes again, "Does he want to commit suicide... That forest is full of blood-cold flowers..."
Mu Huayan suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar but she couldn't remember it for a moment. When Mu Huayan came to her senses, Su Yu had already stumbled out of the mansion.
Another maid came to report that Song Qiao'er had disappeared and left behind only a farewell letter, which simply and clearly explained that she left the mansion because she remembered her life experience.
So she temporarily left the mansion and went to another place, hoping that Mo Nian and Mo Xun would meet again. She also left a lot of magical herbs and flowers in the room as a reward.
After reading the letter, Mu Huayan suddenly woke up and remembered what the flower was, "Blood Cold Flower... Oops! Mu Qing, take this pill and follow Su Yu."
Mu Huayan handed Mu Qing a small green bottle, and then input a memory from her fingertips into Mu Qing's forehead. A moment later, another guard came to report that there were many monsters causing trouble in the county.
So Mu Huayan entrusted Xin Ce to take the guards to solve the problem, while she continued to stay in the Marquis's Mansion to develop an antidote. Not long after they were at peace, another guard came to report that someone in Tianhuai Residence was causing trouble.
Now there was no one in the mansion to handle the affairs, so Mu Huayan had to put aside the matter of developing the antidote and go to Tianhuai Residence with the guards.
As soon as she left the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Huayan felt something was wrong. How could so many things happen on the same day? Was it just a coincidence? In order to find out what happened in Tianhuai Residence, she left her guards behind and teleported here.
There was no one causing trouble at Tianhuai Residence. Everything was normal and peaceful. Tianhuai Residence was a place for drinking and tasting delicious food. She talked to the owner of the residence for a while.
At the same time, Xin Ce had killed all the troublemakers on the spot. Many monks in the cold mulberry forest fell to the ground and died. Their bodies were covered with a thick layer of frost.
After Su Yu entered the forest, she was also injured by the blood-cold flower. A thin layer of ice had formed on her limbs. Despite this, she was unable to find Jiang Xian's trace.
"Ah Xian! Where are you? Come out quickly and don't hide." She shouted weakly, but the only sound was the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.
The forest was too big to find Su Yu in a short time, so Mu Qing had to use magic. She found many dead cultivators on the ground, and a demon cultivator who had lost his breath.
Mu Huayan learned from the owner of the residence that the so-called unpleasant incident did not happen. She soon realized that something was wrong, "Lure the tiger away from the mountain! The antidote is bad!"
At the same time, Mu Qing also realized that something was wrong. It seemed that someone was planning to lure all of them out of the mansion. "We've been fooled! The demon cultivator is not Jiang Xian at all!"
Sure enough, when Mu Huayan returned to the mansion, the alchemy furnace had been destroyed and even the newly developed antidote was burned. Mu Huayan was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot.
Suddenly, a demonic aura passed by from outside the roof. Mu Huayan stopped a demon that had already transformed and kicked her away. She looked carefully and realized that this person was the maid who had just come to report that she had seen Jiang Xian.
"So it's you, the demon, who's causing all this trouble! Now that you've achieved your goal, you can die now!"
When Mu Huayan's sword was about to fall on her neck, she began to act pitiful and begged for mercy, "Sister Mu, save me, I, I don't want to die."
But Mu Huayan did not stop. She only heard a few crackling sounds and the monster was chopped into several pieces.
She released a spirit butterfly to find Xin Ce and ordered him to return to the mansion as soon as possible. She also told him not to be moved no matter what happened and to wait for her to come back before making a decision.
At this time, Mu Qing was besieged by monsters in the cold mulberry forest. Her left arm was hit by a poisonous arrow, and Su Yuren was not found.
On a high building fifty miles away from the forest, a handsome young man put away the bow in his hand with a look of disappointment on his face, "It's a pity that my poison arrow only hit the man's left arm."
Another woman who was lying comfortably on the balcony said sarcastically: "I have never seen anyone who was poisoned by your feather and still survived."
So he slowly stood up and turned his head to look at him, with an evil smile on his lips. Then the two of them gradually disappeared, and the flowers, plants and trees where the sharp arrows passed were instantly turned into powder.
Mu Qing tried to mobilize her spiritual power to fight it, but the poison had already traveled through her meridians, so that she was unable to mobilize her spiritual power at all.
All the monsters flew towards her. At the critical moment, Qinghe Xinglizhui appeared to protect her. After a blue light circle unfolded, all the monsters were killed invisibly.
Before Mu Qing fell to the ground in a daze, she caught a glimpse of a light green figure standing in the air, and then she fainted. Not long after, Mu Huayan found Su Yu. Fortunately, she arrived in time and her life was not in danger.
When Mu Qing woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed in the Marquis's mansion. The sun at noon was very scorching and dazzling, but the birds outside the window were chirping and playing non-stop.
They were very sad to learn that they had fallen into a trap and the antidote was destroyed, but fortunately, the recipes needed to develop the antidote were all in Mu Huayan's mind, but it was a pity to lose those expensive and hard-to-find medicinal materials.
"Where is Jiang Xian? Could it be that he was captured by the demon cultivator named Mingyu last time?" Mu Qing pondered.
"Those guys who secretly sold the red pill went to such great lengths to destroy the antidote!" Mu Qing was a little annoyed.
Mu Huayan just felt a little headache, so she simply ate the fairy fruit. "The enemy is very cunning and knows how to destroy the antidote first. Now all the clues are broken. The only clue is An Hou Mansion..."
At this time, the little fox ran back to the mansion, holding a yellow pill in her mouth. Mu Huayan bent over, took the pill and examined it carefully for a long time.
The little fox jumped onto her shoulder and whispered something to her. Mu Huayan was stunned for a while and then clenched her fists: "The Blood Demon Sect has developed another kind of elixir to replace the red pill!"
"!!!"
"It's only been a few days... Damn it!" Mu Qing couldn't help but get angry.
When Mu Huayan and the others were feeling sad, a hidden weapon came and nailed to the wooden pillar with a thud. Mu Huayan quickly locked the position of the person but still let him escape underground.
"Don't touch it!" Mu Huayan shouted!
Su Yu's hand, which was suspended in mid-air, trembled slightly.
