Chapter 27 - Capturing a Bandit (2/2)
“Humph, that’s like saying you’re scared of dying!
“Don’t you think you’re letting down Mountain Lord with your words? For helping camp lord recover, for his revenge, the least we can do is stake our lives!”
Her words brought shame on their faces.
She glared at them and shouted, “Withdraw! Follow the predetermined plan without fail.”
“Yes!”
They cupped their hands and shouted with respect. When they left, they were resolute with staring death in the face.
“Not bad!”
Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow as he left the room.
Now it was his turn…
When all the people left, the girl clapped her hands in glee, “Young miss is amazing, like a true Mountain Lord.”
Shaking her head, the woman sighed, “If godfather was back to health, he’d do it far better. No one on Blackwind Mountain would have doubted him, nor question his orders.”
“Maybe, but they still believe in young miss.”
The woman shook her head, “Xiao Cui, don’t comfort me. I only hope to cure my adoptive father once we get the Returning Dragon Palm.”
“Young miss will succeed in her filial duty!” The girl giggled.
However, it was now that a faint sigh reached them, “Girl, filial and success are different things. Moreover, who told you the Returning Dragon Palm can heal wounds?”
“Who’s there?”
The woman and the girl turned to find Zhuo Fan sitting on the window frame with a smile.
“No need to panic, I have no ill intent. I just came to chat and clear some things up.” Zhuo Fan made a friendly gesture.
“Who exactly are you?”
The woman drew Xiao Cui two steps behind her. She didn’t realize Zhuo Fan was spying on them. If he wanted her life, she’d be dead by now.
“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself.” Zhuo Fan bowed, “I am Luo clan’s steward, Zhuo Fan.”
“What, the Luo clan?”
The woman’s eyes squinted and gnashed her teeth, “Then die.”
She stabbed with two fingers. Piercing lightning danced between her fingers as if it wanted to shatter the skies.
Zhuo Fan was a bit startled, “9th layer of Qi Condensation, spirit ranked martial art?”
He’d never expected for the lass to be so strong and even wield a spirit ranked martial art to boot. Her power was close to a Bone Tempering cultivator.
Unfortunately, she met Zhuo Fan. He mocked all those below Bone Tempering.
Because he had the Blood Infant!
With a hand sign, a red light flashed from his body into the woman.
Her body froze yet the lighting still buzzed between her fingers.
She was afraid, “What did you do to me?”
Grinning, Zhuo Fan shook his head, “Nothing, I am only controlling your body.”
And then grabbed her two fingers, “Cancel.”
In an instant, the piercing lightning died out.
Blood Infant was born of blood and controlled blood. This, in turn, led to the control of the whole body. Only strong cultivation and Yuan Qi could repel such restrictions.
But this was because the Blood Infant was still weak. If it was in the Saint Stage, even an Emperor would find it hard to deal with.
“Come with me.”
Zhuo Fan hugged her waist. She could do nothing but let the strange man embrace her as they went.
“Young miss.” Xiao Cui shouted.
Zhuo Fan turned and thought of something, “Oh, forgot about you.”
His hand grabbed her shoulder and the lass blanked out. Xiao Cui was just a servant that had yet to enter Qi Condensation.
Thus, as the first rays of dawn graced the earth, Zhuo Fan walked to his home embracing one girl and one woman…
