It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"It can't be destroyed."

Lid said, took his hand off his forehead, stood up, and explained briefly:

"It's okay. I'm very familiar with her meridians. This isn't the first time I've done this. As for the reason, you'll understand if you look carefully."

Shiloh stared at Alayya without blinking, and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although Alayya was out of danger, she had not regained consciousness. The sword energy in her body was not suppressed and began to slowly emerge again. The silver-white sword energy rose up like a wisp of smoke, and then the blood-colored sword energy suddenly began to emerge. This time, the blood-colored sword energy was obviously much more than before, and it could already compete with the overwhelming silver-white sword energy before.

Lid said calmly:

"This child is quite stupid. She took a huge sum of money from someone else's family, but she still cares about the two small coins she saved. Half of Qingyun's inheritance was given to her. She could have rushed all the way to a very high place, but because she refused to give up the sword art I taught her, the two arts coexisted and she was stuck at the sixth level of perfection. She has been able to slowly integrate the two sword arts with the help of the two-sword flow, but unfortunately the sword energy Qingyun gave her was too much and gradually took the dominant position. If she can't maintain the balance, she will never be able to break through the [Asking for the Tribulation]. I can only help her think of a way. Who told her to be obsessed with it and not give it up? It's what I taught her."

Reed stretched out his hand and looked at the broken knuckles. Blood dripped from his fingertips to the ground drop by drop.

He sighed:

"The line between life and death is the sword that kills. Bloodshed is necessary, no matter whose blood is shed. It is better to suffer now than to suffer in the future... But I am heartbroken. It is better to take action than to be heartbroken. I will do the part that she cannot bear for her."

Shiloh didn't speak for a while.

Suddenly he said:

"In fact, you can just abandon that elven woman and everything will be fine."

Reed was stunned for a moment.

Shiloh glanced at Alayya's disheveled clothes, then at the trembling Delis, switching his gaze between the two many times. Finally, he pursed his lips and uttered two familiar and to-the-point words to Lid expressionlessly:

"Scumbag."

"???"

Li De never expected that she still remembered this word, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Just as he was about to make a few remarks, Xi Luo suddenly leaned forward, buried his head in front of him, and said angrily:

"But I was here first, so I want a hug too."

44. I can finally sleep peacefully

Lid had no choice but to pick up Shiloh and try to fool him by saying "fly high". Unfortunately, Shiloh was very smart and immediately protested coldly. Lid had no choice but to hold her horizontally in front of him like he did with Delis and walked around the area.

However, because Shiloh was so small, Reed's action was like coaxing a child to sleep. Reed even sang a lullaby to cheer her up, and soon Shiloh fell asleep in his arms.

She hadn't had a good rest for too long. Lid and Alaya could take turns to keep watch to ensure that both of them could sleep well, but Shiloh couldn't. She spent most of her nights wrapped in a cloak, crouching on a tree branch and counting the stars. Even though she had received inhuman training in Lingwu, this journey was definitely not easy for her. She slept in the open air, ate raw meat and drank blood, and spent a lot of energy assassinating the demons chasing Lid one by one. Although she was not seriously injured like Alaya, her physical strength had long been overdrawn.

Now lying in Reed's arms, Shiloh could finally close his eyes and sleep peacefully.

Looking at her dark circles, Lid's eyes also showed a touch of tenderness, and he whispered:

"Thanks for your hard work."

He came back with Xiluo in his arms, put her under a tree, lifted her cloak, and helped her treat her wounds. In particular, he went to find clean water to wash off the blood and mud on her feet. When he was fetching water, two tiger-like demons glared at him, obviously yelling at him to get out, but he killed them with a slap.

No one saw it anyway.

Lid carefully bandaged Xi Luo and was relieved when he was sure that she would not be scarred. Looking at her aura again, it was obviously different from when she first came to Yuxi City.

Xi Luo's current realm is the seventh level of perfection, which has not changed since she came. The fifth level to the sixth level is the heart-searching tribulation, and the sixth level to the seventh level is the asking tribulation, which she had passed a long time ago. But the seventh level to the eighth level is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it requires traveling all over the world and going through thousands of dangers. This is also one of the reasons why the Lingwu Lord released this group of successors to the commander-in-chief of the hidden guards to train. Who would have thought that those who were released might not be able to be taken back. The little girl who was raised with great effort ran away with another man in the blink of an eye.

The strength of the seventh major perfection is quite terrifying in this remote town. I remember that she could stir up chaos in Yuxi City alone. When Shuang established the Anbu organization of Yuxi City, it was also based on Shiloh. Now the Anbu organization of Yuxi City is flawless, which largely depends on Shiloh's strong strength.

And now, the aura of Shiloh began to change subtly.

This journey to find Lid alone was also a real test for her. Whether it was sneaking under the nose of the demon master or assassinating Zhu Bis who was one level higher than her with the final blow, it made her assassination skills more advanced.

If she keeps up this, it will be only a matter of time before she reaches the eighth level. Although she is still far behind her teachers in Lingwu, Xiluo is still very young, and no one can predict how far she will go in the future.

Young geniuses are always respected because they have a bright future.

This young talented assassin hugged Reed's coat tightly in her sleep. Although there was still no expression on her face, her muscles were relaxed a little, giving her a softer feeling.

Delis waited until Shiloh fell asleep before she came forward and asked Lid:

"who is she?"

As Reed gathered dead branches and leaves to make a fire, he answered:

"My assassin. I sent someone to inform her of the crisis at the front and asked her to go to the front for support. I didn't expect that after she heard that I was in the demon tribe, she came to find me alone."

Delis said to Lid with an expression of "I understand"

"Well, most of the people around you now are entrusted to you by your father. He must have trained people who put your life first. Otherwise, if you die, she won't be able to explain to your father when she returns. These family-raised assassins are all like this. You can't command them."

Reed smiled and didn't explain anything to her.

Reed built a fire and set up a grill.

Delis couldn't help with these things, she just watched from the side.

After finishing these tasks, Lid took a dagger from Shiloh and walked into the forest of demons. Not long after, he came back with a large pile of animal meat. He put the meat on the grass and began to cut, marinate and skewer it. When Delis asked about the origin of these ingredients, Lid just said that they were demons killed by Shiloh and he went to pick them up. Delis didn't think much about it.

She looked at Reed with more curiosity as he skewered the meat, and her lower abdomen couldn't help but make a gurgling sound.

Delis couldn't help but blush a little, and turned her head away pretending nothing had happened.

Reed pretended not to hear.

Unfortunately, seeing him so calm and composed, Delis began to feel unhappy. According to her thinking, Lid should have been very gentlemanly to help her grill the meat, and respectfully presented it to her, and advised earnestly:

——"Your Highness, the ingredients are simple now, and I can only make some vulgar things. This is all due to my incompetence. I hope you will not despise me and take my body as the most important thing. When we get to a safe place, I will prepare a delicious dinner for you..."

If that's the case, I can force myself to eat a few bites.

Now, even though I was starving and my stomach was growling, he was still unmoved. Is this something a human can do? Look at the two human women who were injured. He was so attentive and caring that he even cleaned up a small piece of dust when bandaging them. Why is he so... perfunctory when it comes to me? !

Delis stamped her feet and said angrily:

"I'm hungry."

Reed nodded to indicate that he heard it, but did not react. He sat on the ground and watched the crackling flames.

Delis walked up to him again, bent down, blocked his view, and said:

"I'm hungry!"

Reed said "oh" and looked around, just in time to see another bean worm demon slowly passing by.

This bean worm was also very anxious. Its brother had just mysteriously disappeared nearby. It was looking for clues, but was caught out of the blue. It felt that it had no strength to resist. It twisted its body in shock, and its ten inconspicuous legs struggled frantically. Its mouth opened and closed, looking very scary.

Lid handed it to Delis and said:

"Here."

Delis took two steps back in fear, completely angry and humiliated. She pointed at the pile of skewers next to her and said:

"I want to eat that!"

Lid threw the bean worm away and said to Delis:

"That's going to have to wait until they wake up."

“But there are obviously many.”

Lid glanced to the side and replied with only three words:

“Not enough.”

Afraid that Delis didn't understand, Lid even demonstrated it for her:

"These are Alayya's."

Count out ten strings.

"These are mine."

Then he counted out ten more strings.

"The rest is hers."

Pointed at Shiloh.

Delis looked at the last pile of skewers with a complicated expression. There were more than eighty skewers, and each skewer of meat was half the width of a palm. The number was enough to almost drown Shiloh.

Shiloh turned over in his sleep and chewed slowly, as if he had eaten something delicious in his sleep.

45. See some clues

Finally, under Delis's insistence, Lid gave her two skewers of barbecue. Delis had never done any dirty work since she was born, so she naturally didn't know how to barbecue, so Lid had to do it for her. But Delis was really hungry, and she didn't care about not having a knife and fork. She swallowed the meat in big mouthfuls, and then looked at the other skewers of meat next to Lid with a lingering look.

Although girls usually eat smaller, a girl who has been hungry for a whole day cannot be satisfied with two skewers of meat.

Reed grilled three more skewers for her. This time, Delis was not so hungry, so she began to chew slowly. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth. At this time, she began to skillfully act like a princess.

After the meal, Delis breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that the meat that Reed shared with her was from her own pile. Alayya and Shiloh's piles of meat were left untouched. For a moment, they looked at Reed with complicated eyes.

Shiloh's injuries were not too serious, so he woke up early and got up in the first half of the night.

Alayya didn't open her eyes until the early morning. Everything in front of her was blurry. She could only see a few people sitting around the campfire. She counted them, one, two, three, a total of three people. But she was lying here now, and there should be only two people over there.

So Alayya thought she had counted wrong, and counted again carefully, and there were still three people. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her sleepiness was swept away. She saw clearly that there were her young master, the elf princess she picked up halfway, and a familiar but somewhat annoying little girl.

As if noticing her gaze, Shiloh put down the skewer of meat in his mouth and turned back to look at her.

Those eyes were the same as the ones Alayya had seen before, without any emotion.

Shiloh turned around and didn't say hello to Alayya. He just ate the barbecue that Reed handed to him.

Alaiya didn't say hello to her. She stood up and sat next to Lid, and said softly:

"Master, let me do it."

Lid handed her a handful of grilled meat skewers and said:

"No, just focus on healing your wounds first. This place is relatively safe for now, and you can hide here for at least two days."

Alayya released her breath to sense the surroundings, and was relieved to see that there were no demons above the fifth level. She took the barbecue from Lid and said with some guilt:

"I'm sorry, Master. I..."

Lid shook his head and said with a smile:

"You tried your best. Without your final involvement, the spider could not have been assassinated so easily."

He raised his head, looked at the small patch of starry sky above his head, and continued:

"I always feel something is wrong. These demons are stronger than wild demons, but they don't look like the subordinates of Amifars. I have seen Brother Brown and the demon named Langyan, and their strength is basically around the sixth level. That spider has reached the eighth level of perfection, and they are obviously not on the same level. The problem is, if that spider is on the same level as Amifars, it means that they are likely to serve the same demon leader. The spider brought people to escort Delis and attacked Yuxi City with Amifars. It is possible that it was the same plan."

Delis frowned and said:

"That's impossible. I am an elf, and we are thousands of miles away from you humans. We don't even border you directly. You are just an inconspicuous town on the human side. What kind of plan would involve both me and you at the same time?"

Reed threw a branch into the fire and said:

"I don't know about that either. But I know you are definitely the core of their plan. The spider told you that you will become the wife of a big demon in the future, and that your status will be very high... I am really impressed. Can't this person just say his name? Calling him "that sir" and "that sir" sounds weird. If it were me, I would directly point out the name of the high-ranking demon and intimidate him with my domineering aura, which is much better than just writing blank checks like this."

Delis raised her head proudly and sneered:

"Of course they dare not say it! If I go back alive and tell my father about it, he will not let them off! No matter what the plan is, if they dare to plot against me, it is equivalent to declaring war on our elves!"

Lid rubbed his temple, also looking distressed:

"Yes, this is also what I don't understand. I have seen elves in the capital, but they are all very ordinary, probably just the lowest-ranking civilians in your country. If they are secretly sold, it won't cause an uproar. This is not a rare thing. In fact, there are also people who sell humans as slaves to other races. Although all races have clearly prohibited such transactions, driven by interests, there are always people willing to do it. But generally speaking, no one will kidnap those girls of noble status, and the families behind them are not vegetarians. When they retaliate, the slave traders often lose more than they gain."

He glanced at Delis, smiled bitterly and said:

"Think about it. How much effort would it take to plant undercover agents around you? With this ability, they could have directly assassinated the Elf King. Once you disappear, your father will have to investigate this matter. By then, none of the guards around you will be spared. The Demon Clan's hard work in the Elf Clan for so many years will probably be completely destroyed."

Delis also closed her mouth, not knowing what she was thinking.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she felt that the demons' actions were somewhat unreasonable. Delis herself was definitely not that useful, and it was not worth it to capture her and give her to a demon leader. If she was to be used as a hostage, it was possible, but with those ministers blocking the way, the Elf King would not offer a high price to get her back.

Shiloh swallowed the barbecue that was stuffed in his mouth and said to Lid:

"When I followed here, I also found some strange things."

"First of all, they don't seem to be on guard against me, but rather against their own kind."

"Also, including the few I killed, these demons are only at the seventh or eighth level of strength."

"Then, a demon encountered a demon with a large army, but the latter obeyed its orders completely."

"Finally... they seem to say that a big figure from the demon clan has gone to Yuxi City."
