Chapter 1397 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
The masked men who were lying on the ground relaxed their tense bodies as Yan Rugo spoke.
However, what Yan Rugo said was also true; they were always prepared.
If the other side really goes all out to kill them, they will definitely try to forcefully activate their internal energy. Even if they can't fight to the death, they will still have to send the news back today.
Yi Xiaolan remained silent, standing quietly to the side, making it difficult for anyone to guess what she was thinking.
Azhen observed it casually, but couldn't figure it out.
Just as the group was about to leave, Yi Xiaolan finally spoke: "I'm so sorry for causing you trouble this time, and for causing Master Shen to lose two precious weapons."
“This is not your fault,” Shen Linsu said quickly. “Even if they hadn’t demanded these two weapons today, they would have come knocking on our door again when the opportunity arose. It’s just a matter of time. It concerns the future, and those people won’t let any opportunity slip by. It’s just that your brother-in-law’s house might need a cleaning.”
“She’s already dead,” Yan Rugo said. “When those people suddenly asked for your two weapons, I immediately arranged for someone to investigate and stopped the traitor who was trying to escape. Seeing that she had been exposed and had nowhere to run, she committed suicide.”
Shen Linsu only frowned slightly, but he was not surprised by this. People from mysterious organizations have always been like this. They have no way out, and even if they die, they will not expose the information of their master.
"I will find a chance to repay what I owe Master Shen in the future," Xu Shan said. Even if Shen Linsu didn't care about those two weapons, he wouldn't really consider himself to have nothing to do with the other party; he would still find a way to return them. Deep down, he didn't want to get too involved with Shen Linsu.
A precious weapon is indeed not easy to obtain.
But there will always be an opportunity, or Shen Linsu might want other items someday, and he just happens to have them.
At this moment, Xu Shan could only think of the things left by his ancestors, hoping that there were items among them that Shen Linsu would like.
Azhen didn't even need to guess; she knew exactly what Xu Shan was thinking.
Fortunately, Xu Shan didn't have a chance to look for the Xu family's ancestral belongings at this time. Otherwise, if people knew that he could produce valuable items, he probably wouldn't have a peaceful life anymore.
As she was thinking these things, a sudden gust of wind swept behind her. Azhen noticed it but didn't dodge, because she didn't sense any killing intent. She just wanted to see what the person who ambushed her was up to.
She had wanted to see what these mysterious people looked like under their masks, but everyone felt that it was best not to cause any trouble at this time, as pushing them too far might lead to unforeseen consequences, so she had no choice but to give up.
She was very curious whether that person had shown up today. If he had, then there would be big news in the martial arts world.
The attackers had already grabbed Azhen and quickly retreated to a position.
They could smell the blood on the other person, and their breathing was not stable, which was obviously due to the forced activation of their internal energy.
However, this person possesses profound internal strength. Even if he forcibly activated his internal strength and caused considerable damage, his martial arts skills should not be underestimated.
Now that he has taken A-Zhan hostage, he is obviously much more relaxed. A-Zhan can feel that his heartbeat has gradually calmed down.
"What are you doing?" Xu Shan was filled with regret. He had only been focused on Yi Xiaolan, and as a result, his daughter, who was right next to him, was taken away. If something really happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
Actually, Xu Shan can't be entirely blamed. He no longer has the Heaven-Asking Blade in his hand, and he has no intention of doing anything to the masked men present. Under normal circumstances, these masked men would just wait for the effects of the drug to wear off before leaving.
Even if Xu Shan didn't have the Heaven-Asking Blade, threatening him with his daughter wouldn't make him hand it over.
Furthermore, this person's martial arts skills far surpass Xu Shan's. It's normal that Xu Shan couldn't react in time to the unexpected attack. "Master Xu, don't worry, I won't do anything to your daughter."
Xu Shan's expression darkened: "What does that gentleman mean?"
"I no longer have the Heaven-Asking Blade, nor do I have another weapon like it. Whether I can even find a suitable weapon is still a question. There's no use in you taking my daughter away. You should release her immediately. We didn't kill them all just now. Isn't what you're doing too unethical?"
“Master Xu, you are a great hero, it’s normal for you to uphold justice in the martial world. But I am not a great hero, I only want to achieve my own goals,” the masked man said. “Although the Heaven-Asking Blade is not in your hands, Master Xu, for the safety of your daughter, could you please make a trip to the Star Moon Palace? I don’t ask that you bring back all three weapons, just take back the Heaven-Asking Blade and hand it over to me, and I will send your daughter back.”
"The Star Moon Palace is no ordinary place, but I am very patient and await good news from Master Xu. As for your beloved daughter, I will absolutely not mistreat her," the masked man concluded, seemingly unconcerned that Xu Shan would refuse.
Xu Shan was furious; he never expected the other party to have such a plan.
Seeing that it was difficult to break into the Star Moon Palace, the other party took advantage of his weakness and captured his daughter, which was truly despicable.
Xu Shan took a deep breath, but he had no choice but to agree. He would never allow his daughter to be in danger.
Just as he was about to speak, Azhen suddenly took out a porcelain bottle and poured the liquid into the masked man's eyes.
The masked man was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events, and for some reason, he was unable to dodge it at all.
The masked man writhed on the ground in pain, instinctively trying to grab Azhen, but she had already used her lightness skill to run back to Xu Shan's position. Not only that, she also managed to remove the masked man's mask.
Only after confirming that the other party was not disguised and had revealed their true identity did she feel relieved enough to run back.
“Father, don’t worry, I’m fine,” A-Zhen said.
Smelling the pungent odor in the air, Xu Shan felt a mix of emotions, but seeing his daughter run back safely, he finally felt relieved.
He quickly grabbed Azhen's hand, and not forgetting Yi Xiaolan, he also protected her to prevent further trouble. Only then did he look at the masked man lying on the ground screaming in pain.
Ah Zhen thought to herself, "Most people would probably faint from the pain if they were hit by pepper spray like that. The masked man is really tough and can withstand a lot of pain."
"Dad, this masked uncle looks so familiar. Is he the one I know, or just someone who looks like him?" Azhen suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.
Shen Miao rushed over immediately to prevent any accidents and threw some poison at the masked man before taking a closer look. The man was still covering his eyes, so she quickly pulled his hand away, revealing a face that she knew all too well.
"Alliance Leader Yan? It's you?"
As Shen Miao finished speaking, many people present were taken aback, and their eyes immediately focused on her.
"Aunt Shen, is it really Uncle Yan?" Azhen asked knowingly. She didn't expect Yan Hangshu to come in person. It was the other party's bad luck to run into her. She would definitely not be polite and would tear off the other party's mask.
As for the rest, given the chance, they would all end up like Yan Hangshu today.
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, being part of a mysterious organization is definitely big news in the martial arts world.
How wonderful! (End of Chapter)
