The Dragon Head cane that once seemed too thick and cumbersome now fit perfectly in the hands of Long Heihu.

Who knows what secret technique he used, it was truly marvelous.

At the same time, Chu Xisheng also noticed several deep wounds on the man’s chest and thighs, the flesh laid bare to the bone.

From this, one could tell that his injuries were not much less severe than those of ‘Iron-faced Judge’ Luo Yang.

A fourth-grade master’s Qi-Blood and regenerative abilities are already incredibly strong.

They could recover from ordinary injuries in an instant.

Even if they suffered a severe injury such as a severed foot or arm, they could regenerate it quickly; even if their heart or spine were crushed, they could heal as if unscathed.

The fact that Long Heihu and Luo Yang had injuries that had not healed quickly, even to the extent of letting their internal organs be exposed, meant that either their Primordial Power was insufficient or their injuries had been infiltrated by Martial Intent, coiled on the surface of their wounds, impossible to dispel.

It seemed that the battle at the stern of the ship had cost this man a great deal.

However, this old dog was much more difficult to deal with than the other two, very sharp with his words.

He laughed unexpectedly and let go of the handle of the blade, “I’ve said it before, everything must be supported by evidence.

How could someone slander my good name so groundlessly?”

“Evidence?” Long Heihu let out a cold heh, “I don’t have evidence, but rest assured, everything you do will not be forgotten by the West Capital Chu Family.”

But Chu Xisheng just shook his head indifferently, “Well then, keep it in mind.

It won’t hurt for me to see what the West Capital Chu Family can do.”

He had already seen Chu Ming’s figure emerging from the dense fog and coming his way in the distance.

The fact that this girl was not dead was a great disappointment to Chu Xisheng, who had lost interest in staying any longer.

After Chu Xisheng left with his group, Chu Ming had already reached Long Heihu’s side.

Her right shoulder was a mass of fresh red.

In the assault at the stern of the ship, Chu Ming had also sustained serious injuries.

The flesh on her shoulder had been entirely sliced off by ‘Iron-faced Judge’ Luo Yang’s Judge’s Pen, even her collarbone was shattered.

If not treated properly, this could even affect her sword and knife wielding abilities.

Therefore, Chu Ming was equally furious with Chu Xisheng, who had helped Luo Yang escape.

Her eyes were icy as she looked at Long Heihu, “Why didn’t you act just now?

This man is colluding with a criminal.

If you had killed him outright, the Formless Divine Sect would have nothing to say!”

Long Heihu shook his head slightly, lifting his gaze toward the ceiling above.

It was then that Chu Ming noticed that there were several strands of Sword Qi hanging above the corridor.

“It’s the Shenxiao Thunder Sword Qi of Sanping Hermit.

The Pingtian Sword can diminish others’ cultivation but has limited killing power, so those of the Pingtian Holy Transmission often also master another Absolute Skill with formidable killing power.”

As Long Heihu spoke, his body quickly shrank back.

He reverted to the form of a septuagenarian, his complexion still pale, unable to help but let out a series of light coughs, “There is another master hidden by Chu Xisheng, not just that Five-tailed Wind Beast.

I might not be able to take him down now.

But miss, you needn’t worry, that person won’t escape.

I have already notified them, cough cough—”

Long Heihu’s cough worsened, preventing him from speaking completely.

Yet, his gaze seemed even sharper.

The masters who had accompanied Chu Ming northward from Chu Family were not just him.

They simply did not follow close to Chu Ming out of concern for how the Formless Divine Sect might see it.

It was impossible for Luo Yang to escape safely from the ship.

Chu Ming looked grimly at the Sword Qi hanging overhead, her words filled with resentment, “It seems that he cares quite a bit about Chu Xisheng but barely pays any attention to me.

He was slow to come to my rescue.

What does the Formless Divine Sect really consider me?

If they don’t want me to inherit the Blood Vengeance Saint Transmission, just say so.”

The attackers who had targeted her were not just ‘Iron-faced Judge’ Luo Yang but also five fourth-grade masters of the upper level.

If it had not been for Long Heihu’s utmost effort to stimulate his Qi-Blood and return to peak condition, and her two Daoist servants who had taken the blows for her, sustaining severe injuries, Chu Ming would have died long ago.

Sanping’s Sword Qi and several of his Fifth Grade Sword Servants, however, only arrived leisurely over a hundred breaths after the battle had begun.

Otherwise, Long Heihu would not have been so gravely injured.

Given Chu Ming’s own temperament, she would have preferred to return home right then, unwilling to bear the indignities of the Formless Divine Sect and to extricate herself from the dangerous situation.

“Miss, you should be cautious with your words,” Long Heihu advised with drooping eyelids.

“Our Chu family indeed guards against the Formless Divine Sect, but as it stands now, it can’t be considered negligence.”

A cold glint appeared in his eyes, “Miss, you may not be aware, but the Formless Divine Sect is buying up ‘Heaven and Earth Roots’ all over the Northern lands.”

“Heaven and Earth Roots?” Chu Ming was first puzzled, then she felt a chill, “Do they intend to replace Chu Xisheng’s Bloodline Talent with the blood of the White Tiger and switch it to Vengeance?”

Being an extremely intelligent person, she quickly understood that the Formless Divine Sect still planned to place their bets on Chu Xisheng, one of their own.

Thus it was no surprise that the Formless Divine Sect’s attitude towards her was so strange.

Long Heihu looked at Chu Ming from the corner of his eye, “I know that the miss disapproves of giving up the ‘All Heavens Star Fall Sword’ heritage to inherit the ‘Blood Vengeance Saint Transmission.’ However, given the current situation, there is no room for you to back down.

“You might want to consider this—what would be the attitude of our West Capital Chu Family towards you if Chu Xisheng were to master the entire ‘Divine Intent Touch Death Blade’?

Just be patient, miss.

Those who aspire to great things must endure what others cannot.

Just as Qin Muge once won the trust of the Formless Divine Sect, so can you.”
