Chapter 109: Catch the Turtle in the Jar, a Chance to Escape (Two in One)

The transportation in Qinghe County is quite good in Yu'an Prefecture, because there are many routes leading to the county town and the prefectural capital. It is a city with convenient transportation in between, and the trade routes here are quite good. These families in Qinghe County have also developed well.

When Black Wind Village was still in existence, it occupied several trade routes, each of which was extremely important. Each trade route represented countless benefits and naturally attracted many people.

Naturally, all the major forces competed for it, and no one had ever been able to completely take it down.

Until now, the struggle is still going on, and all forces have used all their means. Now with Yang Xuan, the core disciple of Linghe Sect, returning in person, the Yang family naturally has a great advantage.

All parties now assume that the Yang family can occupy the trade route leading to Dingyuan Prefecture, but as for the rest, nothing has been confirmed yet.

At this time, an ordinary horse passed by on the trade road leading to Dingyuan Prefecture.

It was normal at first, but there was only this one horse, and the only pedestrians were people on the horse, so it was a little strange.

Since the fall of Black Wind Village, the ownership of these trade routes has not been confirmed, and naturally they have not been opened. No one else is allowed to enter or exit. Although some benefits have been cut off, by comparison, the major families in Qinghe County still care more about the ownership of these trade routes.

After all, occupying a business route represents a lot of interests.

Rao Shifeng was riding a horse with a slightly frown on his face, but it was similar to what was mentioned in the letter. At least he didn't see anyone after taking a detour.

As long as you pass through this trade route, you don’t have to worry about Qinghe County.

Furthermore, he is also confident in his own martial arts skills.

As a core disciple of Luoyun Sword Sect, his martial arts cultivation has reached the level of internal cultivation of the six internal organs. Even if he encounters strong men from these families, he is not afraid at all and is even confident that he can beat a few of them.

If they don't have to worry about the life and death of the remnant of the Lu family, they can do even more. This is the confidence of the core disciples from the sect.

Each of them is not only a genius among his peers, but has also practiced martial arts and martial arts to an extremely high level, so the combat power they can exert is naturally stronger.

Rao Shifeng felt relieved that he didn't see anyone at this time. Although he was not afraid of these people in Qinghe County, it would be better if he could encounter less trouble.

He arrived in Qinghe County. He had been on the road for a long time and naturally hoped that things would go more smoothly.

"call out!"

Suddenly, an arrow broke through the void and shot towards his forehead.

Seeing this, Rao Shifeng raised his sword and cut the flying arrow off with one blow.

"You hidden rat, get out!"

Rao Shifeng stared at the direction of the arrow vigilantly. This arrow was meant to kill him.

If he had reacted slower, he might have died!
"Luoyun Basic Sword Style, he is indeed from Luoyun Sword Sect!"

"I didn't expect Li Huilan to make such an arrangement, making you go around in circles. No wonder we haven't been able to find you and the remnants of the Lu family!"

Elder Xu showed joy when he saw Rao Shifeng, because he had already confirmed that this man was from Luoyun Sword Sect. So the person behind him was most likely the remnant of the Lu family.

He also didn't expect that he would be able to find the remnants of the Lu family on this trip.

Originally, this was just a tiny possibility, and his main goal was to destroy the Gao, Zhao, and Xu families. But now he has gained something extra, or to be more precise, a big gain.

The merit of bringing the remnant of the Lu family back to Linghemen is greater than destroying the Gao family, the Zhao family and the Xu family.

The current situation is like a turtle in a jar!

"Who is from Luoyun Sword Sect?"

"You have mistaken me for someone else. The person on my body is not from the Lu family. It is my child. He is born with a congenital defect and needs to go to the capital for treatment. Please make way for him!"

Rao Shifeng's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Then he hurriedly explained, as if the other party had recognized the wrong person, and he was the one who wanted to save his son.

At this time, he felt very bad. The situation might be even worse than he expected!

Rao Shifeng felt unwell when a problem occurred in front of the stone tablet before. In the current situation, it is very likely that there is a problem in Qinghe County.

He wondered whether he should just take a detour at that time.

"Rao Shifeng, the core disciple of Luoyun Sword Sect, I have already investigated your identity. Do you think I have recognized the wrong person?"

Elder Xu stared at Rao Shifeng and said with a smile.

Finding Rao Shifeng is a great achievement.

The person on his back is most likely the target of competition among the three major sects: the Heavenly Snake Palace, the Spiritual Crane Sect, and the Luoyun Sword Sect.

"I didn't expect that you, the Linghe Sect, would lie in ambush here. It seems that the three major families in Qinghe County have betrayed Luoyun Sword Sect!"

Rao Shifeng stared at Elder Xu while at the same time he could hear the movements around him.

There are quite a few people here, but they did not show up. Instead, they were hiding in the dark, which means he was ambushed.

In this situation, all he could think of was that the three major families in Qinghe County betrayed him and provided intelligence to Qinghe County.

As for being discovered by others by chance, he had never considered this at all, because if it was a coincidence, the current situation would not be the case.

"People who betrayed you once are not trustworthy. They can betray you once or twice. There is no bottom line!"

Elder Xu did not give a direct answer, but instead mentioned that traitors have no bottom line.

He did not take direct action now because he had some concerns. It was not because he was concerned about Rao Shifeng's strength, but because he was concerned about the remnants of the Lu family behind him.

Because Cheng Hongyun told him that living people are more useful than dead people, so he wanted to bring a living person back.

"Your Excellency probably wants the Lu family members alive, right?"

Rao Shifeng placed the still sleeping child of the Lu family in front of him and spoke slowly.

When he was taking care of the Lu family's child, he knew that the child was both a burden and his last trump card.

Because Protector Li had told him the role of living people, he asked him to bring as many living people as possible back to Luoyun Sword Sect.

This is true for the Luoyun Sword Sect, and naturally it is also true for other sects.

The purpose of putting the Lu family child in front of him at this time was very clear.

"Put down the remnants of the Lu family, and I can spare your life!"

Elder Xu looked at Rao Shifeng's appearance and told him his bottom line.

Bu Si does not mean letting the other party go, but taking him back to Linghe Sect. Rao Shifeng naturally still has some value, so he can be brought back to Linghe Sect. Then we can see what price Luoyun Sword Sect will pay to redeem this core disciple.

At the same time, this is also a means to demonstrate the strength of Linghe Sect.

Of course, if the other party is stubborn, then there will be no problem just having one more corpse.

Compared with Rao Shifeng, the remnants of the Lu family around him are more important.

"No, that's not enough!"

Upon hearing this, Rao Shifeng shook his head.

He naturally understood what Elder Xu meant. He would not kill him, but would definitely bring him back to Linghe Gate.

At that time, life and death are no longer under our control, so what is the use of the so-called conditions? Moreover, after arriving at Linghe Gate, the conditions agreed by this person are of no use.

He had seen the leader of Linghe Sect, the peak leader and other figures, but this person was not one of them, so his status was not the highest.

Although his martial arts skills are better than his, his power in Linghe Sect is not that high, and the conditions he promised now are of little use.

"What conditions do you want?"

At this time, people had secretly surrounded Rao Shifeng, so Elder Xu naturally felt more confident.

The worst outcome would be to make a great contribution. Perhaps his martial arts skills would be further improved. It all depends on this achievement. Therefore, he now has the patience to bargain with the other party!
He can even listen to the other party's conditions because everything is under his control.

"Let me go twenty miles on this trade route. After twenty miles, let me run for an incense stick, and I will not kill the remnant of the Lu family and leave him to you!"

"I think you should also know the role of the remnants of the Lu family. They should be more valuable than my life!" Rao Shifeng stared at Elder Xu and stated his conditions.

Twenty miles along this trade route, he would be not far from Dingyuan Prefecture, and the people who were supposed to pick him up from Luoyun Sword Sect might be nearby. By then, he might be able to survive, or even bring the remnants of the Lu family back to Luoyun Sword Sect and complete this mission.

If he completes this mission, he will definitely get a lot of rewards. Protector Li has promised many benefits.

There are also many training resources that can help him make breakthroughs in his martial arts. These are extremely important things to him. They can enable him to become a true disciple of the Luoyun Sword Sect and even have the possibility of becoming the next sect master.

His contribution is huge, and his fame in Luoyun Sword Sect will become even greater.

"The lives of the remnants of the Lu family are very valuable, but the mission I received allows me to bring back their bodies!"

Elder Xu did not respond to the other party's conditions, but instead talked about the task requirements on his side.

The purpose is self-evident.

Rao Shifeng looked very unhappy when he heard this.

The life-saving trump card in his hand lost most of its effectiveness in an instant.

Although the other party did not answer, his attitude was obvious.

"I will take the remnants of the Lu family and run for one mile. After one mile, I will put them down. As for the rest, it's up to each of us to use our own methods!"

Rao Shifeng frowned, and then continued his suggestion.

He could see that the other party did not completely care about the lives of the remnants of the Lu family, but his bottom line was definitely very low. The conditions he wanted were too high and the other party would definitely not agree.

Therefore, he could only lower his requirements.

He knew very well that in his current position, the possibility of his escape was very low because he could feel the presence of the people around him.

His chances of escaping here are not very high, and he might be subdued as soon as he starts to make a move!

"My mission is to bring back the body!"

Elder Xu did not answer the other party, but continued to talk about his mission.

Simply put, no way.

His mission has been completed, so why bother himself further?

The living might be more valuable, but the dead were enough for him.

The remnants of the Lu family are useful to some people, but useless to others.

Just like for Rao Shifeng, it was completely useless. He had investigated, but didn't know how to take advantage of the other party's physique.

The same is true for many people.

There might even be limitations on cultivation, which is why this person doesn't care that much.

After all, if you complete the task, you can get the task reward, so why bother with unnecessary trouble?

If it were him, he wouldn't give this opportunity.

"Looks like there's nothing to talk about?"

Rao Shifeng put his hands on the neck of the Lu family child, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, as if he would kill this remnant of the Lu family if they disagreed with him.

If he is not allowed to live, he will take the remnants of the Lu family with him.

"You can move faster. I will move faster too. I won't let you down!"

Elder Xu remained unmoved.

As a veteran in the world and someone who once ruled Zizhu Peak, he naturally understands psychological control very well.

From the very beginning, all the psychological changes of this core disciple of Luoyun Sword Sect were under his control.

If the other party wants to live, it will be a chance for the remnants of the Lu family to be brought back alive.

Although it cannot be 100% certain, there is a chance, and that is enough.

He was just trying, and failure wouldn't have any impact on him.

Just as he said, Luoyun Sword Sect's core disciple Rao Shifeng and the remnants of the Lu family all brought the bodies back, having successfully completed their mission.

Because of the arrangement made by Linghemen, no one should be allowed to take the remnants of the Lu family away. It was okay if the bodies were destroyed. There were not so many requirements.

"I can spare the life of the Lu family's remnant and even leave him here, but you and the people from Linghe Sect must let me leave one mile first. After one mile, we can see what we can do!"

Rao Shifeng's expression froze. In this negotiation, he had no advantage at all.

He can only lower his bottom line again and again, and now it has reached his limit.

He had to fight for his chance of survival. As for the mission, failure was failure.

Furthermore, even if he let go of the remnants of the Lu family, they might not be able to return to Linghemen alive.

Because of the current condition of the remnants of the Lu family, they have taken special medicines that have made them half-dead. Without the medicines in his hands, it is hard to say whether they can survive.

"He's almost dead now, there's no point!"

This time, Elder Xu did not answer with a task, but talked about the status of the remnants of the Lu family.

Previously, when Rao Shifeng wanted to kill the remnants of the Lu family, they did not resist at all, and it could be seen that their condition was very bad.

Most likely dying.

In this case, naturally this condition is meaningless.

However, when Rao Shifeng heard this, he was delighted, because what he heard was no longer about the damn mission, but something related to the remnants of the Lu family.

"He took special medicine, and the antidote is in my hands!"

"I'll throw out the antidote after I run a mile first!"

"You can't pursue in a quarter of an hour!"

Rao Shifeng said quickly that he would continue to fight for his life.

By then, the antidote might be a life-saving measure.

He could even throw out multiple packets of antidote to continue buying him time.

Here, the biggest threat to him was Elder Xu. He knew that these people's martial arts skills must be stronger than his, so as long as this person did not participate in the pursuit, he would have a greater chance of escaping.

This is also his last chance and his bottom line. Otherwise, if Elder Xu takes action, he will basically not be able to escape.

"Let's see the effect first!"

Elder Xu looked at the remnants of the Lu family in Rao Shifeng's hands, and his intention was self-evident.

At least we should first see the effect of the antidote instead of just believing whatever Rao Shifeng says.

"can!"

"But this antidote needs to be taken for a long time and multiple times. It can't be completely solved in one go!"

Upon hearing this, Rao Shifeng hurriedly took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms, then poured out some of the powder and fed it to the remnants of the Lu family, and then put it away directly.

Not long after, the remnants of the Lu family opened their eyes, as if they had regained some strength and looked somewhat energetic.

"You have a one-mile chance to escape!"

Elder Xu looked at Rao Shifeng and spoke slowly.
