Chapter 313: Chapter 183: Losing Courage at the Slightest Breeze

“If that’s the case, letting this woman escape this time is not entirely a loss.”

Upon hearing Yan Wangqiu’s words, Lu Yuan’s face looked slightly better.

Although he regretted not being able to kill Lan Cai’er, after all, she was an Inborn Grandmaster, and it was not easy to kill her, which was expected.

However, if their side suffered heavy injuries and could not participate in this battle, then at least there would be some gains from this encounter.

With one less Inborn Grandmaster on the side of the Five Poison Sect and Miao People, and with Old Lord Yan Wangqiu still on their side, the balance of power would virtually shift by two Inborn Grandmasters.

Perhaps there was really hope in suppressing the Miao People this time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan’s heart warmed a little, and seeing the generals gathering around, he said, “The Monster woman has escaped, but she has suffered heavy injuries. The Five Poison Sect has lost the protection of its Inborn Grandmaster.

You all should immediately reorganize your units, treat the wounded, collect the corpses of the soldiers, and then continue marching.

This battle, I will surely suppress the Miao thieves.”

Lu Yuan said decisively.

He would not let such an exceptional opportunity slip through his fingers now.

“Yes.”

The surrounding officers heard the order, saluted immediately, and then left to prepare.

Afterward, Lu Yuan and Yan Wangqiu got on the newly prepared carriage and continued to lead the army.

The attack just now was really sudden.

Just now, if it hadn’t been for Yan Wangqiu’s early warning, he wouldn’t even have noticed the assassination attempt.

It was really difficult to detect an Inborn Grandmaster who is hidden and not taking the initiative to act. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

This made Lu Yuan deeply feel the danger and horror of Inborn Grandmasters.

He also deeply understood how fortunate and safe it was to have an Inborn Grandmaster serving as his bodyguard.

Therefore, after such an experience, he came to regard Yan Wangqiu even more highly.

He’d already decided in his heart that, during this battle, he must not be more than ten feet away from him at any time.

Otherwise, he would feel too insecure.

It was precisely because of this that he did not blame Yan Wangqiu for his mistake just now, but tried to comfort him instead.

He couldn’t help it; he still had to rely on Yan Wangqiu to protect his life in the future!

At this time, offending him would be like playing with his own life, which Lu Yuan, not being stupid, would never do.

The Ten Thousand Poison True Qi was indeed terrifying. The smoke made by it could kill ordinary soldiers with just a single breath.

So although Lan Cai’er’s attack was fierce, most of the casualties were caused by direct death, and there were not many wounded.

Aside from a dozen lucky ones who narrowly escaped death, most were corpses.

After leaving a part of the army to collect the corpses, bury them on site, and arrange for the treatment of the wounded, the army quickly reassembled and continued to march.

Lan Cai’er had been reckless in attempting to assassinate Lu Yuan without knowing the details, resulting in her own serious injury and escape.

Seeing as the opponent had created an opening that had left their own top-level strength in a dire situation, Lu Yuan naturally wanted to capitalize on it and repay them with a huge gift.

He had almost been assassinated, so it was only fitting to seek revenge for such great hatred. Otherwise, all his years of experience would have been for nothing.

Now was the time to kill as many Miao People and seize as much territory as possible before Lan Cai’er recovered from her injuries.

If they didn’t make good use of this time, they wouldn’t be doing justice to the generous gift that was given to them.

Now was the time to seize every moment.

…

Just as Lu Yuan was preparing his troops and marching swiftly,

After escaping the battlefield, Lan Cai’er hastily treated her wounds and hurried back in spite of the fatigue she felt in her body.

Just as Yan Wangqiu had said, the Five Poison Sect Saintess had been severely injured by his Ten Thousand Waves Profound Intent. Without at least a year and a half, it would be impossible for her to recover.

The reason why Lan Cai’er was able to estimate the recovery time so accurately was because she had been through this before.

Last time, she and Li Xiong cooperated in assassinating Dongting’s Wucheng Marquis Li Gui and both of them were in the early stages of the Inborn realm.

Although they had the upper hand in that assassination, they were both severely injured after fighting against the well-established Grandmaster Li Gui.

So after the assassination, they both rushed back to recover and dared not venture out again.

That time, it took Lan Cai’er a full year to recover, and it took her another half-year to regain her vitality.

A single deadly blow from a Grandmaster had left her in such a state.

This time, the attack by Yan Wangqiu, whose cultivation was even higher than Li Gui, had caused even more severe injuries to Lan Cai’er than last time.

‘I’ve suffered a great loss this time.’

As she rushed on her way, Lan Cai’er stared at the wound on her left shoulder, her heart filled with intense frustration.

She felt it would take her at least a year to recover to the point where she could fight normally again, and another half a year to fully heal.

It would take yet another half-year to regain her vitality.

But looking at the current situation, the Five Poison Sect was in imminent danger, and the survival of the Miao People hung in the balance.

Would the court and Lu Yuan give the Five Poison Sect two years?

Therefore, fighting despite being injured was already an inevitable matter.

The only question was how much time her enemies would give her to recover from her injuries.

Before she could recover from her injuries and fight again, the Five Poison Sect would have to strategically retreat and buy time.
