Chapter 1592: Chapter 1414: Stormy Night in Jianghu
Seeing this person, everyone knelt down and paid their respects.
The priest was carried to the center by eight people, frowned for a while, and then coldly said, “What are you doing? Killing each other? Are you really the people of Southern Zhao Country, have you ever thought of the citizens? Just for some so-called honor, you have caused unrest among the three clans, with countless deaths and injuries!”
Those kneeling looked at each other, but showed little remorse.
The Witch King spoke again, “I hear that all of this started because of a girl named Xia Dabao. Hmph, all this snatching back and forth, I might as well take her with me, bring her here.”
The junior priest dared not delay and went to bring Xia Dabao over.
On the ground, Xia Dabao looked up at the high and mighty Witch King, while the junior priest signaled her to kneel.
Xia Dabao was unwilling, “We people from the Central Plains only kneel to our parents and the Emperor of the Central Plains. We don’t kneel to anyone else. Moreover, I am the lucky star of your Southern Zhao Country, I should be treated as an equal.”
“Hahaha…” The priest had the carriage lowered down, to look Xia Dabao in the eye.
“Do you hate being snatched back and forth by these people?” the Witch King asked.
“If it were you, wouldn’t you dislike it too?” Xia Dabao retorted.
“Haha, of course I would dislike it. I’m here today to take you away, so you won’t have to be snatched back and forth anymore,” the Witch King looked at Xia Dabao and said.
“Even if I go with you, I’ll still have to bleed, and it’s also hard to escape death, right?” Xia Dabao asked.
“Why would you die?” the Witch King looked coldly at a person named Chi Xia, then said to Xia Dabao, “I promise you, as long as you stay by my side, I guarantee you won’t die!”
“You’re making a promise in front of so many people, if I die one day, it means you break your word, and you will lose your dignity,” Xia Dabao spoke firm and clear.
“That is natural. Besides not wanting to die, do you have any other requests?” the Witch King asked again.
“Yes, two requests. First, my brother still needs about a dozen Antidotes. Second, I want Yuan Xiao to protect me.”
“Antidote? I’ve heard of it. You came for the Antidote. I can have Chi Xia give you the Antidote now. As for the second…it’s also not impossible. Since you trust Yuan Xiao, let Yuan Xiao go to Li City with you.”
“Okay!”
Xia Dabao was finally satisfied. She began to look for Yun Xiao in the crowd, and after a long while, Yun Xiao was carried over by Bei Shan.
He had taken the Ice Heart Gu, which could only relieve the pain momentarily; he was still suffering from heartburn.
The Witch King then had one of his men give Yun Xiao a pill, which eased Yun Xiao’s painful expression somewhat.
“Witch King, Yun Xiao is so injured, can I send him over first?” Bei Shan requested.
Xia Dabao also chimed in, “Please allow it, Witch King!”
“Granted!” The Witch King seemed to value Xia Dabao very much.
“Since that’s settled, we shouldn’t stay here long. Remember, all of you, whoever takes the credit, it is Southern Zhao’s credit. However, if internal strife arises again, it means there’s corruption through and through, and I will start to rectify from the beginning!”
…
After the Witch King and his people left, people from the three clans also returned to their respective groups.
And in the distance, a dark figure took off the veil on his face.
It was Ye Ge.
He had come to rescue Xia Dabao upon receiving a message from Hong Yan but arrived a step too late.
He could only watch as Xia Dabao walked away with the Witch King.
