Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 161 The doubts are gone and everyone leaves

"Yes, the climate on this battlefield is wrong. There is no chilly feeling. All the souls have been taken away. So that's it. So that's it!"

Xiao Yao suddenly came to his senses.

He just felt that something was wrong, simply felt that something was wrong, but he never thought that his soul had been taken away.

It may be that he has experienced too much on the battlefield and has become completely accustomed to the remaining coldness of the soul after death. Even his own nerves will not give him any feedback, so he subconsciously ignores this point.

"A full four million souls! If my guess is correct, the previous Demon-Suppressing County and Tiandang Mountain should have been created by this person. Even the various conflicts before may have been driven by this person."

"The purpose of this saint is simple, which is to kill. He promotes killing in the form of a behind-the-scenes person, causing a large number of deaths so that he can obtain a large number of souls."

"As for what he needs so many souls for? An eighth-level saint? I think it's very likely that he is using some evil method to break through to the legendary ninth level. Other than that, I can't think of any other reason."

Xiao Yao put himself in Gu Shijiu's shoes, thought about it carefully, and then said out loud everything he thought of.

Gu Nineteen nodded and said:

"Nothing more than that."

Lu Chao was also shocked by these people's analysis and said quickly:

"I will report this to the Emperor right away. This evildoer must be brought to justice as soon as possible!"

"It's a little late. I was wondering why something was wrong. But even I could sense that something was wrong. Could it be that other saints couldn't sense that something was wrong?"

Yuwen Nuo spoke.

"Since we've discovered something is wrong, we'll naturally find the cause. It's just a matter of time. I think the mastermind has enough of these four million souls. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious."

"You mean?"

Lu Chao was still a little confused and asked.

"What he meant was that the mastermind took the initiative to tell us that he had stopped and that he had collected enough souls."

Gu Shijiu spoke slowly, his tone full of helplessness.

"Why? Why didn't I see that?"

Lu Chao was still confused and continued to ask.

"Smart people have a limit, but Lu Chao is not within that limit. I'd better tell you directly."

Xiao Yao explained helplessly:

"What they meant was that the mastermind could have waited until we left to absorb the souls, and at most they would have dissipated a little, but he didn't. He absorbed them directly without fear of being exposed. The reason for this is very simple, that is, he only lacks these four million souls, and he will not make another move. This is also a direct way of telling us."

"Tell us he's done!"

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes, but then was instantly retracted. He knew that he had lost this battle, and he had lost completely.

"How ridiculous! Isn't this a provocation?"

Lu Chao reacted and shouted angrily.

"You just realized it, you big fool. I was just provoking you, and you have no way to deal with it!"

Zhao Hongling also gritted her teeth, looking at Lu Chao with some disappointment, and shouted at him viciously.

Lu Chao scratched his head, waved his hand and called the young general beside him, told him what had happened, and asked him to report it to the court.

"Silly man, don't be so anxious. They said they won't do anything. There's no point in preaching to the Dynasty now."

Zhao Hongling said with a laugh.

"Not necessarily. Maybe he is lying. False and true, real and fake, we who lead troops all adhere to one principle: the art of war is all about deception."

Lu Chao raised his head proudly and said.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were so capable. What you said does make sense."

Zhao Hongling couldn't help but look at this great general with a new respect.

"What's the point?"

Zhao Tianran said unhappily.

"As a saint, how could he go back on his word after making it clear? If he does this, his mind will not be complete. He still wants to pursue the ninth level, so he will naturally not do something that harms others and does not benefit himself."

After Zhao Tianran finished speaking, Lu Chao said unconvincedly:

"What state of mind? It's all a lie. Do you still believe in it?"

Zhao Tianran sneered and said:

"You are a saint and I am a saint. When I broke through the eighth level, I tested my state of mind. Ask the other two, what is the eighth level test? Do I understand or do you understand?"

Lu Chao's expression suddenly froze, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

"General, I also tested my state of mind in my dream. It is correct to test your state of mind when breaking through the seventh level to the eighth level. As for whether you need to test your state of mind when breaking through the ninth level, I don't know. I guess no one knows, but I think it is necessary."

Gu Shijiu explained with a smile.

Lu Chao smiled awkwardly and said softly:

"I see, I see. I've learned a lot."

Xiao Yao looked at Gu Nineteen and said softly:

"It's come to this point. There's no point in saying more. We should withdraw. Let the Dynasty handle this. There's no point in us staying here."

"Okay, I'll go greet the brothers."

Gu Shijiu jumped lightly, jumped off the city wall, and ran towards the people from the Hengdao Escort Agency.

"We should also withdraw."

Zhao Tianran greeted the people behind him.

Zhao Hongling greeted Gu Shijiu who was in the distance, and then left with Zhao Tianran.

"Brother Lu, let's meet again another day. It's wrong to send troops without permission, and it's even more wrong to stay any longer. I'll leave first."

Yuwen Nuo greeted Lu Chao.

"Goodbye, Brother Yuwen. We'll meet again some other day."

Lu Chao did not dare to be arrogant and greeted him quickly.

Although his official position was higher than Yuwen Nuo's, he was no match for Yuwen Nuo if they really fought, so he naturally had to show respect.

Yuwen Nuo simply called out and led the thousands of troops behind him to rush towards the distance.

For a while, only Lu Chao and his men were left in Zhenxie County.

"Brothers, work hard and step up your game!" Lu Chao shouted and went back to his tent to rest.

……

"Wuming, are you ready to continue?"

The white tiger shadow asked Xiao Wuming.

"Why go on? It's enough."

Xiao Wuming said with a smile.

"Enough? Not necessarily."

"Isn't it still missing one-third of the gourd's soul?"

Baihu said expressionlessly.

"I just said that I won't start wars and kill people. I never said that I won't pick up those souls that no one cares about. War? Is there still a lack of wars in the world?"

Xiao Wuming said with a smile.

"Yeah, where are you going next?"

Baihu asked.

"Next, of course, we'll go to Demon Suppression County. I also want to see how good my not-so-well-behaved son is. It's really exciting."

Xiao Wuming smiled.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Baihu's eyes. In his eyes, Xiao Changtian was just a dandy boy who had always been controlled by others. However, being so highly praised by Xiao Changtian, to be honest, Baihu's curiosity had been completely aroused.
