Destroying Wolfhead (Please Vote and Bookmark)

"Captain's dead?"

In the darkness, the Wolfhead Mercenary Group members looked at one another, clearly finding it hard to accept reality.

Everything had happened too quickly.

In their eyes, the three captains, who were like demons and Buddhas alike, had all fallen in an instant.

The impact was simply too great, leaving them unable to believe it.

Yet the two corpses on the ground and the screams still echoing in their ears made their legs go weak. Some weak-willed men even collapsed to the ground.

"See? I told you he couldn't escape." Lei Luo murmured softly, like a demon from the depths of hell.

But while the mercenaries feared him, to Xiao Yi Xian, he was like a hero.

With a serene smile, she toyed with a lock of hair by her ear and looked at Lei Luo curiously. "What should we do next?"

Before Lei Luo could speak, the Wolfhead mercenaries were already terrified out of their wits.

They dropped to their knees with a clatter and began begging for mercy all at once.

"Young master, I have elderly parents above and children below! That bastard Mu She forced us to come! Please, spare our lives..."

The chaotic noise around him made Lei Luo's head buzz. He snapped, "Quiet!"

At his sharp shout, the mercenaries all fell silent, afraid that displeasing Lei Luo would cost them their lives.

Lei Luo pursed his lips as he looked at the mercenaries in the darkness.

He was not a pervert, nor was he a murderous maniac. These Dou Zhe-level mercenaries simply did not interest him.

He waved a hand. "Get lost."

The mercenaries exchanged glances, then scrambled to their feet and fled into the darkness.

At that moment, Lei Luo lightly waved his hand, and a blazing streak of light shot toward him.

He caught it, recalled Yin Fire into his body, and a green ring appeared in his hand.

Mu She's Storage Ring.

As a Dou Master, Mu She's Storage Ring naturally could not be overlooked.

After all, even a mosquito was still meat. If he could not use its contents himself, auctioning them off would still be worthwhile.

After putting away the Storage Ring, Lei Luo headed toward Green Mountain Town with Xiao Yi Xian.

Although the sky was still rather dim along the way, the first-tier magical beasts on the outskirts did not dare come forward to die beneath the deterrence of his powerful aura.

They traveled quickly, and by the time the rising sun appeared, they had already returned to Green Mountain Town.

Green Mountain Town was beginning to grow lively.

Mercenaries preparing to enter the mountains had begun gathering and purchasing supplies, while shouts and calls filled the streets.

However, the mercenaries who had fled the previous night apparently had not kept their mouths shut. It was obvious that someone was watching the two of them along the way.

Xiao Yi Xian led Lei Luo to a small courtyard.

Only after they entered did Lei Luo sense those gazes temporarily disappear.

"These people really aren't afraid of death," he muttered.

Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have noticed something as well. "Someone's watching us again?"

Lei Luo nodded. As he surveyed the courtyard, he asked Xiao Yi Xian, "Do you want to become the new owner of Myriad Medicine Hall?"

The moment he said that, Xiao Yi Xian understood.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lei Luo. "Why not?"

The two smiled at each other and walked farther into the courtyard.

The entire courtyard was kept exceptionally clean. All kinds of medicinal herbs had even been planted along the walls, releasing alluring fragrances from time to time.

After Xiao Yi Xian opened the door, Lei Luo did not follow her inside. Instead, he stopped at the entrance.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian looked at him in confusion. "What is it? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Lei Luo touched the tip of his nose and smiled. "I'm not afraid of you eating me. I'm afraid you've poisoned the room."

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes so hard they nearly reached the sky.

"Though I have considered it, that's only an emergency measure, okay? Why would I poison myself for no reason?"

Lei Luo gave a dry laugh before finally walking inside.

"Isn't it because your poison techniques are too brilliant? Even a Dou Master could fall victim if they let their guard down. I can't afford to be careless."

Rolling her eyes again, Xiao Yi Xian was about to light a fire and boil water to make him tea.

But with his Heavenly Flames, Lei Luo could not be bothered to wait and directly helped Xiao Yi Xian with the task of lighting the fire.

Looking at the two steaming cups of tea on the table, Xiao Yi Xian rested her delicate chin on her hand. "You really are mysterious. You always manage to surprise people."

After taking a sip of fragrant tea, Lei Luo said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Tell me. What was the favor you wanted me to help with in the cave earlier?"

Toying with her empty teacup, Xiao Yi Xian pouted and said softly, "I didn't think you'd remember."

"If I remember correctly, you're an alchemist, right?"

The moment Lei Luo heard the probing note in her voice, he understood.

The Woeful Poison Body.

It was the "trouble" that had always plagued Xiao Yi Xian.

It would not be an exaggeration to call it her nightmare.

Looking at the beauty's anxious expression, Lei Luo nodded firmly.

Upon receiving confirmation, Xiao Yi Xian let out a breath and leaned back against her chair.

Then she smiled.

Her smile was radiant, yet a glistening tear slid from the corner of her eye, making her seem especially pitiful.

Lei Luo said nothing. He simply sat quietly beside her, keeping her company.

After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian calmed down and sat upright again.

"Lei Luo, have you heard of the Woeful Poison Body?"

Xiao Yi Xian lightly bit her red lip as she asked.

Lei Luo set down his teacup but did not immediately reply.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes dimmed. She forced a smile. "It's okay. I just couldn't accept it, so I wanted to try..."

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's disappointed expression, Lei Luo stood and patted her fragrant shoulder. "The Woeful Poison Body is difficult to cure completely. At least, I don't have the ability to do so right now."

Just as Xiao Yi Xian's eyes turned gray with despair, he continued, "I do have a method, but my current strength and conditions aren't sufficient yet..."

Hearing Lei Luo's assured answer, two bright flashes erupted in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. "It really can be done?"

Just as Lei Luo was about to teach Xiao Yi Xian about the Poison Pill Method, a burst of chaotic footsteps sounded outside.

Knock, knock!

A knock sounded, followed by a middle-aged man's voice.

"Hehe, is Xiao Yi Xian here?"

Though his words sounded like a question, he did not seem polite in the slightest.

Since the door was not locked, the man simply pushed it open and walked in.

When the middle-aged man saw the additional youth in the room, he frowned and waved toward the door.

Four guards in fitted uniforms immediately filed in and surrounded Lei Luo and Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xiao Yi Xian, and this is?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Xiao Yi Xian frowned at the Myriad Medicine Hall personnel pointing swords at them. Just as she was about to speak, Lei Luo beat her to it.

"You're Mr. Yao, right? Perfect. I was just about to look for you, so this saves me some trouble."

"Oh? What does this little brother need from me?" Mr. Yao asked with a smile.

He had already shifted himself to the doorway, blocking it completely. Clearly, he had learned about the treasure.

Watching the middle-aged man's little movements, Lei Luo said softly:

"You heard that we had a treasure, but why didn't you hear that Mu She of the Wolfhead Mercenary Group had already died by my hand?"
