The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 267. A nobody
Chapter 267: 267. A nobody
Fang Zhou naturally also heard the conversation of the three people outside.
His focus was on this older sister; the Black Demon Jiao she mentioned was most likely that Catfish Demon.
It seems this older sister is actually the person Di Ao sent to probe, even that troublesome Catfish Demon is her pet.
The only thing that puzzled Fang Zhou was how Di Ao, merely a powerful minister in the Chu Kingdom, managed to recruit so many Foundation Establishment Realm rogue cultivators. Even the emperor of Chu Kingdom would find it difficult.
Outside, the older sister faced the river and let out a strange shout, the voice was deep at first, not loud, yet it carried far.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the river, the older sister’s expression gradually turned gloomy.
The two people behind her also felt the heaviness in the atmosphere, the woman in the black robe revealed a deliberately relaxed smile: "Sister, perhaps your Black Demon Jiao has gone out to play again."
The older sister suddenly turned to stare at the two, which startled them: "You, tell me again about yesterday’s events, don’t miss a single detail."
The two recounted yesterday’s events in detail, repeating word for word even the conversation with Yu Qing and Xuan Ling.
Of course, they didn’t miss when General Zhao fell into the river, yet neither mentioned Fang Zhou.
They directly ignored this man with little strength.
After listening, the older sister found nothing suspicious, her brows suddenly relaxed: "Seems like the Black Demon Jiao indeed went to play elsewhere, when it returns, I must teach it a lesson."
Fang Zhou chuckled secretly, your Black Demon Jiao has already been made into sashimi by me, go to Hell to reprimand it.
Seeing the three outside turn back, General Zhao couldn’t help but sigh in relief, deeply grateful.
She looked down at Fang Zhou and said, "It’s over."
Fang Zhou’s expression turned odd, wanting to say she was happy too soon.
In the next moment, a teasing voice sounded behind the two: "Dear friends, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
General Zhao stiffened, clinging to Fang Zhou and abruptly jumped out of the grass, landing on the beach.
She looked back and saw the three rogue cultivators had returned, even sneaking so close to them.
"So it’s you!"
The black-robed woman and the scholar immediately recognized General Zhao, after all, she was the top general under Qiao Sen.
The two eagerly explained to the older sister: "This person is General Zhao, Qiao Sen’s capable general, who went missing after falling into the water yesterday, unexpectedly drifted in front of us."
General Zhao clenched her teeth, her mind racing for a way to escape, yet couldn’t think of any effective method.
"I’ll hold them off, you find a chance to escape..."
General Zhao whispered to Fang Zhou, wanting to sacrifice herself to buy time for his escape, but suddenly remembered Fang Zhou couldn’t swim, where could he run to on this small island?
A sense of despair immediately flooded General Zhao’s mind.
Upon learning General Zhao’s identity from her subordinates, the older sister smiled at General Zhao and Fang Zhou: "General Zhao, having such an elegant time with a handsome man on this isolated island, wonder what His Highness Qiao Sen would think of that?"
General Zhao directly ignored her sarcasm, sternly saying: "Who exactly are you?"
She actually had a vague suspicion, their conversation earlier mentioned probing, proving they weren’t here for robbery, rather aimed at Qiao Sen and the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Besides Di Ao, there wouldn’t be another person doing this.
But General Zhao shared the same confusion with Fang Zhou, from where did Di Ao recruit so many cultivators? freeweɓnøvel.com
Even if she’s a powerful minister second only to the king of Chu Kingdom, that’s merely within the secular government circle, people from the cultivation world wouldn’t value such a title too much.
The older sister smiled: "My name is Luo Xuan, just a nameless nobody, General Zhao probably has never heard of my name."
General Zhao truly hadn’t heard of Luo Xuan, but calling herself a nameless nobody is amusing. A nameless nobody wouldn’t have two Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection rogue cultivators as subordinates.
"Are you under Di Ao’s command?"
General Zhao suddenly asked.
Luo Xuan laughed: "Since General Zhao has seen through us, we won’t hide it, we are indeed on Di Ao’s side."
She stepped forward: "Meeting is fate, General Zhao, why not come with us as a guest, or perhaps choose a good feng shui spot here to rest forever?"
General Zhao also took a step back, suddenly turned to look at Fang Zhou, giving him a faint smile.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let them hurt you."
Fang Zhou clearly saw the resolve in General Zhao’s eyes, which moved him a bit.
This woman might be stubborn, but she’s undeniably a good person who values loyalty and righteousness.
"General Zhao’s righteousness truly is admirable!"
Luo Xuan gently clapped her hands: "I’ll leave the General’s body intact."
Just as she finished her sentence, the woman in the black robe and the scholar immediately lunged forward.
The black-robed woman threw her short javelin, which was surrounded by black energy, reeking of stench, evidently poisoned.
The scholar gently shook his paper fan, fanning out a misty white smoke like frost, seemingly unremarkable but extremely sharp, capable of easily slicing through a human body.
Two attacks, one black and one white, came from left and right, General Zhao showed a resolute expression, not retreating but advancing, charging right at them.
She had neither armor nor weapons, bare-handed, these two rogue cultivators were even stronger than Luo Xuan, yet she had no intention of backing down.
The short javelin came at a faster speed, right in her face.
General Zhao bent her legs, directly sliding underneath the short javelin.
She grabbed a handful of sand in each hand, quickly jumped up, dodging the white smoke trailing behind, and scattered the sand towards the black-robed woman and the scholar.
The two hurriedly avoided, revealing Luo Xuan behind them.
General Zhao charged straight for Luo Xuan; capturing the leader first was her only thought, though the success rate was infinitely low, General Zhao had to try.
Facing the charging General Zhao, Luo Xuan smiled, not moving an inch.
General Zhao, however, didn’t dare be careless, throwing a punch aiming for Luo Xuan’s neck.
Before she could touch Luo Xuan, General Zhao sensed something moving beside her, heading for her head.
She immediately raised her hands to protect her head, her hands suffered severe injuries, and her head was also shocked, sending her flying back, with a bang landing on the beach.
General Zhao lay on the ground, she had not seen clearly what hit her, her head spinning in dizziness, almost passing out.
Fang Zhou saw everything clearly, before General Zhao touched Luo Xuan, she was already thrown back by something invisible, like Hu Lai’s left hand.
Seeing General Zhao’s miserable state, the black-robed woman and the scholar showed a mocking look, of all people not to provoke, she dared to provoke sister Luo Xuan.
As General Zhao saw the black-robed woman and the scholar walking towards her, in the next moment, she saw Fang Zhou standing in front of her.
"Don’t... run quickly..."
General Zhao murmured while looking at Fang Zhou’s back.
The intensifying flow of fresh blood made her head spin dizzyingly, finally her eyes went dark, she fainted.
