Young Master Nantian's Spy (II)

Chuzhou City was sealed off, and people began searching house to house for spies from the Wilderness Clan.

Hundreds of Desolate Reflection Stone were distributed, and the Shentu Family, including the people of the Prince Chu's Estate, were searching for them. However, after several days, not a single member of the Desolate Clan had been found.

Some people suspect that Shentu Nantian might be overreacting.

"I said yes, and I mean yes! My intuition is infallible. I have seen the purest-blooded Desolate Clan members before and even consumed their blood pills. I have a vague sense of their existence, and now I can sense it. Therefore, there must be Desolate Clan members lurking here. Continue your investigation!"

Shentu Nantian was extremely confident in his judgment. The Desolate Reflection Stone was not omnipotent. When the strength of the Desolate Clan reached a certain level, they knew how to hide their aura. In that case, the Desolate Reflection Stone would not be able to detect them, which was not surprising.

The more powerful and purer the bloodline of a wild race, the more valuable it becomes.

This time, the Shentu Family sent several top experts. They weren't afraid of the Desolate Clan's strength, but rather of his impure bloodline.

"Let me... take the lifeblood of the high-ranking wild races to refine pills, and use their corpses to commemorate the clansmen who died back then."

Shentu Nantian gently touched his Space Ring, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His lifelong ambition was to slaughter the entire Desolate Clan. As long as the Desolate Clan was wiped out, the Desolate Beasts would not form a super Beast Tide and would be nothing to fear.

"Using the blood of the Desolate Clan to refine pills...?" In a small courtyard of the Prince Chu's Estate, Yi Yun sat on a bench, watching the leaves fall from the century-old tree.

This looks like the courtyard where the women of the Prince Chu's Estate used to live. There's still a swing in the courtyard. I wonder where those women went. Now it's been given to Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou to live in.

The Chuzhou City now flooded with people. Although the Prince Chu's Estate is large, it is almost full. It is very difficult for someone like Yi Yun to be allocated a private courtyard.

"Are you very resistant to using wild blood to refine pills?" Chu Xiaoran sat opposite Yi Yun. These days, facing the Beast Tide, Chu Xiaoran would occasionally chat with Yi Yun to relieve the pressure.

She didn't have many friends in Tai'a Divine City; Qiu Niu was one, Yi Yun was the second.

"There's some truth to that. The Wildlings really do look just like humans. Using their blood to refine pills doesn't feel quite right..."

Yi Yun carefully considered his words. Although Shentu Nantian had said that the Wild Clan should not be regarded as human beings, but as a kind of wild beast.

Chu Xiaoran said, "The Wilderness Clan is cruel, killing countless people. That Shepherd Boy looks like a boy next door, but he is extremely cruel at heart. The ancients used the phrase 'wishing one's flesh and drinking one's blood' to describe an irreconcilable hatred, so I don't think it's a big deal."

Chu Xiaoran's words made sense. Yi Yun recalled a poem from his past life, "With lofty ambitions, I'll feast on the flesh of the barbarians when hungry, and laughingly drink their blood when thirsty." Shentu Nantian's hatred for the barbarian tribes was probably similar to that of the famous general Yue Fei...

"By the way, you need to be careful of Yang Yuefeng and Yang Dingkun. They've gone back to the Prince Chu's Estate. The Prince Chu's Estate is their territory." Chu Xiaoran suddenly remembered the feud between Yi Yun and the disciples of the Prince Chu's Estate's Mansion.

"Hmm... I know, I'll be careful."

In Tai'a Divine City, due to the city's rules, although Yi Yun and Yang Yuefeng had a grudge, neither could do anything to the other.

However, upon arriving at the Prince Chu's Estate, Yi Yun had to be wary of some things.

Fortunately, neither Yang Dingkun nor Yang Yuefeng were juniors in the Prince Chu's Estate, and they could not influence the decisions of the people in power in the Prince Chu's Estate based on their own will.

As Yi Yun was pondering this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Huh? What's going on?

Yi Yun listened intently and heard people talking loudly. It seemed that they had captured a spy from the Wilderness Clan and were preparing to report to Shentu Nantian for credit.

"Did you catch a spy from the Desolate Clan?" Chu Xiaoran overheard their conversation and was overjoyed. She stood up.

Beside Chu Xiaoran, Yi Yun's expression changed slightly. How could this be...?

He flashed out of the courtyard!

"This is a spy from the Desolate Clan? How could it be so weak... Didn't Young Master Nantian say that spies from the Desolate Clan should be very strong?"

"Haha, who cares? The Desolate Reflection Stone is so bright, it must be the right one. Let's report the news right away."

Both men were personal guards of the Prince Chu's Estate. One of them lit a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent the message out directly.

The incident occurred only a hundred meters away from Yi Yun's courtyard, and Yi Yun arrived in a flash.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Yi Yun was completely stunned.

Two burly guards from the Prince Chu's Estate surrounded a girl in green. That girl in green was none other than his own sister— Jiang Xiaorou!!

Sister Xiaorou... How could that be!?

Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat; she couldn't believe it!

"I... I'm not a spy for the Wilderness Clan, I'm not..." Jiang Xiaorou huddled in the corner, a fallen bamboo basket beside her, its fresh vegetables and eggs scattered all over the ground.

She had gone to the Prince Chu's Estate's kitchen to collect some ingredients to cook for Yi Yun, but was stopped by two guards. They held a blood-red, glowing stone and insisted that she was a spy from the Wilderness Clan.

"Hmph, quite the actor!" One of the guards grinned maliciously. As warriors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, they knew the cause and effect of the Beast Tide and hated the Wilderness Clan to the bone.

Without the Desolate Clan, how could they have ended up like this?

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act!" The guard raised his hand, about to slap Jiang Xiaorou across the face.

This guard was at the Origin Foundation Realm stage; with one slap, he could break a large tree.

As the slap landed, Jiang Xiaorou curled up into a ball, closed her eyes, and felt terrified and desperate.

"Stop!"

Yi Yun's figure flashed, landing beside the guard like a bolt of lightning. He reached out and grabbed the guard's hand.

"What... what are you doing?" Yi Yun had just broken through to the Yuan Foundation stage, and his strength far surpassed that of other martial artists of the same level. The guard's hand was gripped so tightly by Yi Yun that it hurt terribly. His expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected this young man to be so strong. He tried to break free from Yi Yun using his Hidden Strength, but Yi Yun's hand was as if it were made of iron. The more he struggled, the more his wrist hurt.

He was a little scared, and said with a fierce but weak voice, "Are you perhaps going to protect a spy from the Desolate Clan?"

"Yun... Yun'er!"

Jiang Xiaorou opened her eyes and saw Yi Yun standing in front of her. She burst into tears of joy.

"Yun'er, I'm not a spy, I really am not..."

Jiang Xiaorou said in a trembling voice, she was just an ordinary girl, she never thought that she would be attacked like this just because she went to get some ingredients.

"You are... Yi Yun?" One of the guards recognized Yi Yun. Yi Yun's identity was quite intimidating.

"So you're Yi Yun... But so what if you are Yi Yun? She's a spy from the Desolate Clan, are you going to protect her?!"

Even though he knew Yi Yun's identity, the guard felt even more guilty. However, his hand was being squeezed so hard it was almost broken, and he still harbored resentment, verbally attacking Yi Yun.

Yi Yun shielded Jiang Xiaorou behind him, his face grim. Just then, Chu Xiaoran arrived. "What on earth happened...?"

She naturally knew that Yi Yun had a mortal sister, and she had overheard their conversation. She found it hard to believe that Yi Yun's sister was a member of the Desolate Clan; it was unbelievable.

However, she then saw a Desolate Reflection Stone in the hands of two guards, the stone shimmering with a blood-like light.

This means that there are indeed wild tribes nearby, and they are extremely close!

Yi Yun glanced at the Desolate Reflection Stone and felt that the Desolate Reflection Stone was extremely dazzling.

He remained silent, then turned to look at Jiang Xiaorou, "Sister Xiaorou..."

"Yun'er, I'm not a spy..." Jiang Xiaorou bit her lip, her face pale. In Jiang Xiaorou's bright eyes, Yi Yun could see his clear reflection.

He was certain that the girl in front of him was Sister Xiaorou, the one who had walked with him all the way; she was not some member of the Wilderness Clan in disguise.

Holding Jiang Xiaorou's hand, the intimate and harmonious feeling was something that no stranger from the Wilderness Clan could fake.

"She is my sister." Yi Yun turned to look at the two guards and said, word by word.

At this time, more and more people gathered, many of whom heard the noise and rushed over.

Many of them were the pride of Tai'a Divine City, including Yang Gan and Demon Blade.

One of the guards from the Prince Chu's Estate, clutching his wrist which had been bruised from Yi Yun's grip, pointed at Jiang Xiaorou and addressed the people rushing in from all directions. "We've captured a spy from the Desolate Clan, it's her!"

All eyes were on Jiang Xiaorou instinctively stepped back.

To this day, she still doesn't understand what happened. Those two fierce-looking, burly men simply waved a red stone in front of her and immediately accused her of being a spy.

"She's from the Desolate Clan?"

Yang Gan frowned and looked at Yi Yun. As far as Yang Gan was concerned, Jiang Xiaorou's behavior didn't matter, but he needed to consider Yi Yun's attitude.

Yi Yun fell silent. Jiang Xiaorou's background was mysterious, and Jiang Xiaorou Yi Yun didn't know which Lineage she came from. He only knew that Jiang Xiaorou probably had a powerful background.

However... the Desolate Clan?

Yi Yun recalled all the moments he had spent with Jiang Xiaorou, but he still shook his head and said, "Impossible!"

When Jiang Xiaorou lived in Yunhuang, she once told Yi Yun about her childhood. Although she had lost many memories of her childhood, she still remembered some fragments, including her previous life and the scenes of reading and writing.

Their way of life, as described, hardly resembled that of a wild tribe living among wild beasts.

Moreover, the writing system Jiang Xiaorou knows is human writing, Yi Yun knows that the Wilderness Clan has its own writing system.

Yi Yun's earliest reading and writing skills were taught by Jiang Xiaorou.

If Jiang Xiaorou was born into a barbarian tribe, why would she need to learn human writing at such a young age?

"You say it's impossible, so it's impossible? Desolate Reflection Stone wouldn't make a mistake. If you don't believe me, we can verify it right now. Young Master Nantian said before that the blood of the Desolate Clan is silver. Take a knife and let us see whether this little girl's blood is red or silver!"

The burly man whose wrist had been bruised by Yi Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suggested this method, which everyone readily agreed to.

Yes, wouldn't it be enough to just check the color of the blood?
