Chapter 1532: Chapter 1354: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

"So you’re saying that last night, not only did you lose Xiaobao’s parents, but Xiaobao was almost kidnapped?" the Clan Chief spoke, his voice deep and suppressing.

"I am not capable!" Yun Xiao offered no further explanation.

However, Elder Yun spoke up on Yun Xiao’s behalf, "Clan Chief, Xiaobao’s father is extremely skilled in martial arts, even surpassing Yun Xiao, and Xiaobao herself possesses martial arts skills. Even Bei Shan is no match for her, so it’s normal for Yun Xiao to lose the couple. As long as Xiaobao is fine, that’s what matters. After all, our clan isn’t somewhere they can just stroll into. We should focus more on keeping a closer watch on Xiaobao from now on."

"Then last night... who exactly tried to kidnap my Xiaobao?" the Clan Chief’s voice was clearly less angry.

"After examining the magical poison, it appears to be from the Moon Shadow Clan," Yun Xiao said.

"Moon Shadow Clan?" The Clan Chief immediately grew angry again, "The Moon Shadow Clan acts fast. Could it be that they know we’ve found Xiaobao and want to snatch her away? There must be someone who leaked the information. It seems we have spies from their clan among us. Elder Yun, you must find this spy as soon as possible. And Yun Xiao, I don’t care what methods you use, but within this month, you must ensure Xiaobao’s safety. If she becomes unhappy, or is lost, you’ll be tasting our Heart-Piercing Gu."

Yun Xiao slowly responded, "Yes, I will not fail this grave mission!"

...

Moon Shadow Clan.

The grand front hall was hung with various odd-shaped banners, and even though it was already daylight, the place still felt eerie.

The Moon Shadow Clan, also a major clan in the Southern Zheng Kingdom, practiced gu raising and served the royal family. In recent years, they had advanced rapidly and gained royal favor, their status nearly rivaling that of our clan. Men and women alike here liked to wear a small iron ring at the corner of their mouth, a fashion Hong Yan truly couldn’t appreciate.

Hong Yan was brought before the High Priest by their clan’s two guardians of Yin and Yang. She bowed and said, "High Priest, I have a very important matter to report."

"An important matter? Hong Yan, you’re not trying to distract me with some tale about Yun Xiao’s travels in the Central Plains or Elder Yun catching a cold, are you? I’ve told you, I want valuable information. If you keep this up, your sister might just die sooner!"

Hong Yan replied, "High Priest, I never dare to deceive you. The news I bring this time is particularly beneficial. It’s about the Sacred Maiden that the three great clans are searching for, who carries the blood of the Dragon Clan and bears unusual signs, right?"

"Oh?" The High Priest’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that the clan has found her?"

Hong Yan did not answer directly but brought up another matter, "High Priest, my sister..."

The High Priest pulled out half of an antidote from his robe and tossed it to Hong Yan, then coldly said, "This is the first half of the antidote. As for the second half, that depends on your performance."

Looking at the pill in her hand, Hong Yan’s face showed a slight change.

Whether it could completely detoxify or not, at least her sister didn’t have to die for now.

After a while, she looked up again and said softly, "The clan indeed found that girl; her name is Xia Dabao. Last night I intended to kidnap her, but I didn’t expect her to know Kung Fu, and her martial arts are above mine. My initial attempt has already alarmed them, and getting her out now will be even more difficult."
