Chapter 523 This couple is really good at acting.
The fighting intensified over here. Mu Yunchu drew her longsword and attacked Protector Yuan directly, and the two were evenly matched in an instant.
When Gu Qingyue and the others joined Wan Jinyou's side, the pressure on Wan Jinyou and his group was immediately greatly reduced.
At this moment, there were about twenty men in black in the arena, each of them ruthless and skilled, clearly experts from the Wizarding Hall.
However, Gu Qingyue and her group were also top-notch fighters. Although they were outnumbered, they held their own for several rounds without being at a disadvantage.
"You guys?" Wan Qingwei stood by the stream in the distance, still in a daze. He had truly felt utterly hopeless for that moment.
He knew that there must have been something fishy about Man Niang's death back then, but he had never found any clues and had never avenged Man Niang. He felt it was time to go and meet with Man Niang to apologize.
"What do you mean 'you' and 'us'? Young Master Wan, no matter what, you still have a son. Are you just going to give up like this?"
Mu Dong naturally saw that he was just about to surrender and die, how foolish.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and joined the fight.
"I-----" Wan Qingwei finally snapped out of his daze after Mu Dong's words. Son?
He looked up and gazed into the distance.
Wan Jinyou was fighting fiercely in the crowd, displaying agility and high spirits.
Yes, he also has an outstanding son, and he can't just give up like this.
He immediately raised his scimitar to step forward, but suddenly 'poof' he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The scimitar clattered to the ground, and he fell to his knees by the stream.
Half an hour later, finally, those standing in the arena, besides Gu Qingyue and her group, Wan Jinyou and two clansmen, were only Protector Yuan.
"How dare you attack the protector of the Wizard's Hall!" Protector Yuan was in a disheveled state, his clothes were tattered and his hair was messy, but he still had a lot of momentum.
"Protector Yuan is joking," Gu Qingyue put away her triangular military dagger, took two steps forward, and stood next to the composed Mu Yun Chu.
"We were just helping out when we saw injustice. What, does the Wizard's Temple test treasure hunters by killing them all?"
Gu Qingyue smiled charmingly and tugged at Mu Yun Chu's sleeve, "Husband, why are these different from the rules we discussed at the Zhouxin Tower?"
Mu Yun Chu's lips twitched, but she still spoke gently, "What Madam says is true, it is indeed different."
Zhang Qingxuan, listening from behind, curled his lip; this couple really were drama queens.
Gu Yuanen rolled his eyes. His little sister's acting talent was simply unmatched!
"Hmph! Sophistry! How the Wizarding Hall plans to test the treasure hunters is none of anyone else's business!"
Although Protector Yuan appeared calm, she was furious. If she couldn't kill Wan Qingwei today, something terrible would happen!
Thinking of this, a wisp of black energy began to seep from her palm, and the curse poison began to gather in her palm.
How could her little actions escape Gu Qingyue's eyes?
She appeared to be complaining to Mu Yun Chu, but she had already secretly tucked poison powder under her sleeve. If this Protector Yuan dared to cause any trouble, such as casting a curse or poison, she would deal with her with the poison.
She has now basically figured it out; curse poison also requires methods similar to poisoning with Gu to make the other party fall for it, rather than just reciting a spell or something.
That gives us time to respond.
Of course, Gu Qingyue also has a trump card: the little golden snake!
Unexpectedly, before Protector Yuan could make any further move, Gu Qingyue suddenly shouted, "Bite!"
In an instant, a golden light flashed across Yuan Hufa's wrist.
With a cry of pain, Protector Yuan cried out!
She didn't expect that her hand, which was behind her back, would be bitten by something. The pain was excruciating. Before she could see clearly, her body stiffened and she collapsed to the ground!
Everyone:······
'Phew------' Just now it really was true. Gu Qingyue was also nervous. Wasn't it said that this woman's spells were as powerful as the saintess's?
She was genuinely afraid that they hadn't noticed she had cast a curse on them.
Fortunately.
In the distance, Wan Qingwei, who was sitting on the ground, and Wan Jinyou beside him were both stunned!
Is Madam Rong's method so formidable? Even Protector Yuan is no match for her.
"Take him away! Blindfold him, gag him, and tie him up like a banana!"
As Gu Qingyue spoke, she took the lead and walked over, kicking Protector Yuan's leg. He didn't move at all, which was good.
Qin Fang, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but chuckle. This Princess Li was not old, but she was quite interesting. What did she mean by "tied up like a banana"?
With Yuan Protector captured, the matter was essentially settled, and Gu Qingyue decided to interrogate him immediately without further delay.
Gu Qingyue first treated Wan Qingwei's wounds, then asked Gu Yuanen and the others to take Wan Qingwei and Wan Jinyou to a place to rest. She and Mu Yunchu decided to find a secluded place to interrogate Protector Yuan.
With everything arranged, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu immediately led Protector Yuan into the dense forest and disappeared from sight.
Once they reached the dense forest, near the foot of the mountain, Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu found a very secluded little cave. Mu Yun Chu stood guard outside while Gu Qingyue carried Protector Yuan inside.
As darkness fell, the second day of the Heavenly Sacrifice Treasure Hunt was about to come to a close.
In Zhucheng, at the royal villa.
"My lord, everything went smoothly. Our men completed their mission successfully. We're just waiting for the Wizarding Temple to finish its operation before we take over..."
A man in black knelt respectfully behind a tall man and reported the situation.
A tall man dressed in bright yellow brocade robes lay on a couch, facing inwards, taking a nap.
Upon hearing this, the man calmly sat up and looked at the man in black kneeling on the ground.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows that reached his temples, sharp eyes, and long, narrow eyes that were as dark as ink in the candlelight.
It was Yue Lanxuan, the King of Nanzhao, who had just arrived at the villa that evening.
"Very good. Tell them this is of utmost importance, and they must act swiftly and decisively, leaving no room for error. The Grand Wizard is not easily fooled. Go forth, and if they successfully complete this mission, I will personally reward them!"
"Your Majesty commands!" The man in black bowed respectfully, turned and retreated, disappearing into the night in an instant.
The King of Nanzhao watched the figure disappear into the night and revealed a mocking smile. "Great Shaman, this time, you'll have to bear the infamy of slaughtering various tribes."
In the flickering candlelight, a fleeting glimpse of expectation and madness flashed in his eyes.
In the dense forest, Gu Qingyue walked out of the cave. Mu Yun Chu saw from afar that her expression was not good and was a little worried.
"Ah Yue, did you get the answer?" Mu Yun Chu stepped forward and took her hand, her eyes serious.
Gu Qingyue nodded, then shook her head. "She said that to remove the Witch Butterfly Mark, we need to find the Witch Butterfly that devoured the blood of the cursed person when the mark was planted. As long as we mix this Witch Butterfly with the Saintess's blood to make a pill, the mark can be removed."
It sounds easy, but it's actually quite difficult.
"The blood of the Holy Maiden?" Mu Yun Chu asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Holy Maiden casts the curse using her own blood as a catalyst. To remove the curse, you need to use her own blood; other people's blood won't work."
Mu Yun Chu frowned. "The Saintess's blood isn't hard to obtain, but how do we find that witch butterfly?"
