Chapter 629: Wounded and Escaped

ad without even a proper burial!”"Are you sure" Chi Yun Sang said coldly.“I'm not sure, do you have a better way” Tieshi Shei retorted to Chi Yun Sang."No matter what, let's find a place to settle dow...As they were speaking, the battle between Yinlan Grand Thief and the black-clothed man had reached a critical juncture. The massive fluctuations of magical power forced these foundation-building cultivators to retreat to a safe distance.

Even with the concentrated attack power of arrows, this is still within the realm of possibility for the Black Cloaks. If someone were to act recklessly like the Silver Orchid Thief, who knows what state the Hou Mansion would be in! 。A giant silver orchid made up of countless fragments, the pieces on it like mirrors, shimmering with an ethereal glow. 。Captivating and mesmerizing, the fragrance that blooms from petal to petal is like a tangible icy whip. Each lash seems to freeze the very air it strikes. 。

Silver orchid, alluring and deadly

The Silver Orchid Thief, levitating above the orchids, with hair flying and his black cloak billowing in the wind, exuded an aura of sinister energy. 。"Kunber, where are the city guards Shouldn't they have arrived by now" Seeing this, Cao Xier couldn't help but anxiously say 。"I'm not sure. There are some people in the City Guard who are friendly with Lord Hou, and some who aren't. It seems like today Jiang Dongcheng, who usually doesn't get along with Lord Hou, is on duty. If it wasn't for this masked man appearing, our Hou Mansion would have truly become a laughingstock of the entire Wushang City." 。Caokun's face was now so gloomy that it seemed like it would drip with water. 。"Now, we can only hope that the men in black won't lose." 。Cao Xi'er watched with concern the back, which was slightly thin but as sturdy as bamboo. 。...a shaft of ice shot forward, but it was stopped by the black-clothed man's icy whip. He remained unmoved, his face as calm as ever, and a strange savage aura suddenly emanated from him. Like a ferocious leopard prowling in the wilds,... 。Once again, he drew his bow and loosed two arrows. 。As swift as lightning, and powerful as thunder. 。

The Silver Orchid Thief's face changed drastically. He didn't expect the black-clad man before him to not only have cultivation that was on par with his, but also that the previous attack was just the tip of the iceberg. With a shriek, he stomped the ground, launching his silver orchid, which reached several feet in height, into the air to block in front of him.

Ka! A shot struck the silver orchid, Silver Orchid Bandit's face turned pale, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The radiance in front of him dimmed suddenly, before he could react, the arrow behind him didn't give him much time to react and directly shattered the silver orchid flower made up of fragments into pieces again.

This arrow pierced through the obstacles. 。With a shriek, the scattering fragments reformed into a silver soft sword, several feet long, which floated limply in the air. 。Yinlan, the silver-robed bandit with an arrow piercing his left shoulder, used its force to violently recoil backward. He did not neglect to recall his soft sword meanwhile. 。With a howl of pain, the Silver Orchid Thief drew out the Fire Dragon Arrow. The arrowhead was already blown open into a fist-sized blood hole. 。Yín Lán, the Silver Orchid Bandit, threw away her Fire Dragon Arrow and fled through the darkness like a streak of light. As for the Long-Armed Stone Monkey, upon receiving the order to retreat from Yín Lán, it also abandoned the pathetic Dì Yōu Canine and ran away in disgrace. 。"This gallant warrior came to my aid during a time of crisis at my residence, the Zhenwei Marquis' Mansion. He is a great benefactor to our household. I wonder if it would be convenient for the warrior to reveal his name The Zhenwei Marquis' Mansion will certainly show its utmost gratitude." 。When my lord returns home one day, he will surely consider the valiant as his dearest friend, in repayment for the valiant's aid today. 。Cao Kun, seeing that the Silver Lan Bandit, who had been arrogant and repeatedly provoked in Wu Shang City but hadn't been caught before, was actually injured by arrows shot by the masked men and retreated in defeat, the wild and fierce arrows seemed to be able to devour one’s soul. At this moment, he finally came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed to the masked men in gratitude. 。“Indeed, if the esteemed sir doesn't find it disagreeable, you are most welcome to stay at our Wei Hou Mansion. Xi’er and everyone in the household will treat you as our most honored guest.” 。"Cao Xi'er, now wearing her robes, was no longer embarrassed. She softly invited the man in black..." 。The one in black was naturally Lu Xia Tian. As for the power of the Fire Jiao Bow after being repaired, he was still quite satisfied. 。The Fire Dragon Bow at this time was even better than before, after all, the materials used for repair were several times stronger than the previous Seventh Rank Fire Dragon. 。And it also blends in several spiritual creatures. 。Most cultivators' Dan Yuan artifacts are damaged, and it takes too much time to replace them with new ones and re-cultivate them. They often choose to repair them, even if it costs more. 。Some artifacts become increasingly powerful as they are constantly repaired, while others are completely destroyed. The situation varies. 。Therefore, the higher the cultivation level of a person, the more unique their magic weapon is, and it's difficult to find a second one exactly alike. After all, every cultivator's experience is different, even among cultivators of the same system who practice the same cultivation method, the amount of repair materials they use after each battle will not be the same. 。Lu Xia Tian was just pondering whether to retort to Cao Kun, when a sudden surge of energy in his dantian caught him off guard. His expression changed, and he didn't hesitate any further. He vanished into thin air. 。Di You Dog did not pursue from afar, its mission was to guard the Zhenwei Hou Mansion. It would not go far without Cao Kun's orders. 。Caokun and Caoxi'er, along with the others, didn't expect the man in black to leave without saying a word. 。Regarding this enigmatic and powerful figure in black, one couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity. 。"Kunbu, would you like to visit Father's old friends in Wusheng City tomorrow If it wasn't a matter of close acquaintances, the people in black wouldn't have helped us, the Zhenwei Houfu, for no reason at all." 。Cao Xi'er's eyes flickered, her gaze following the tall and straight figure of the man in black until it disappeared completely before she looked away. 。"A visit is definitely a good idea, but I understand your intentions. There's no need for any roundabout inquiries or probing. Those Golden Core cultivators are all shrewd and perceptive." 。I can sense your probing, even in just a few words. It might be better to avoid this, and since this cloaked individual doesn't want us to know who they are, there must be a reason for that. 。

Asking something without knowing the proper context, may also offend someone.

Let things take their natural course. 。Cao Kun thought for a moment, shook his head and said 。 But 。Cao Xier had a few grudges in her heart, but when she thought about what Cao Kun said, it made sense. Things were fine while her father was alive, but now that he was far away in the Great Qi kingdom... 。Only Cao Kun has the right to speak at the Marquis Wenwei's Mansion, and he certainly has enough backing. Asking rashly, or even probing, could indeed upset other Jindan cultivators. 。"All of you, disperse! Tonight's events, not a word is to be spoken outside. Though the Marquis is away in Great Qi, this Marquis' mansion is not a place anyone can just enter." 。The Silver Orchid Thief was notorious for a time, and if he hadn't been so quick to escape, he would have met his end here. 。Although the man in black didn't leave his name, he could also be a skilled expert arranged by the Lord. 。"Cao Kun looked sternly at the Foundation Establishment cultivators around him and ordered, “If I hear anyone outside loses control of their words, don't blame me for turning ruthless!”

The surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators hurriedly responded in unison. Cao Kun made a valid point, and under such pressure, no one dared to disobey the head steward." 。
