33: Chapter 30 Retreat 33: Chapter 30 Retreat Lu Luanti was in the midst of setting Chu Xisheng’s bones and treating his injury, Chu Xisheng had injured his collarbone, and if it wasn’t set in time, it might lead to severe complications. When Lu Luanti heard a dull thud from deep within the cave, she instantly braced herself and darted over with her blade drawn, “Who’s there?” However, by the time she pounced in that direction, the area was desolate, except for a collapsed wall on the right, with some loose rocks still rolling on the ground. Lu Luanti’s expression eased slightly as she sheathed her knife before returning to the hot spring to continue setting Chu Xisheng’s bones. Chu Xisheng’s facial features twisted in pain; this woman’s bone-setting technique was extremely unprofessional, completely unlike the braggadocio she had displayed just moments before. However, in this cave, there was no one else available to set his bones. Chu Xisheng could only endure the pain by attempting to distract himself, “What happened? Why was there a noise over there?” “It’s nothing,” Lu Luanti sighed slightly as she shook her head, “It was just a section of the rock wall collapsing.” The Fire Bone Cave was formed from the petrified body of a giant god, generally sturdy, but occasional collapses were still possible. Especially since she had just fought a fierce battle with the swordsman, their sword qi and blade energies clashing intensely that might have loosened the nearby rock layers. She clearly had been overly cautious. Finally, Lu Luanti successfully set Chu Xisheng’s broken bones, then took out a talisman and smacked it firmly onto the break, adhering it there. “There, as long as you don’t engage in any vigorous activities, this bone will heal as if it had never been broken.” Chu Xisheng screamed in agony as she hit him, the pain piercing through his heart and lungs. Strangely though, as soon as the talisman was applied, he felt a significant improvement in his broken bone. Incredibly, despite his collarbone having just been set, Lu Luanti’s strike hadn’t broken it again. Chu Xisheng cast a sidelong glance at Lu Luanti, somewhat suspecting she did it on purpose, to vent her frustration on him for revealing her identity, but he had no proof. Chu Xisheng got to his feet, dressed himself, and hoisted Tie Xiaosheng onto his back. The man had fallen into a deep sleep again due to his injuries. Possibly, the talismanic water they had fed Tie Xiaosheng, along with the internal and external application of healing medicine, was starting to have an effect, Chu Xisheng could feel Tie Xiaosheng’s condition was improving. The physical resilience of a Sixth Grade martial cultivator was truly remarkable. In such a short time, a touch of color had returned to Tie Xiaosheng’s cheeks. “Let’s go!” Using two belts he had snatched, Chu Xisheng secured Tie Xiaosheng firmly. “The people from the Long Family might search this place at any moment, it’s not very safe here.” Lu Luanti also felt that they should not linger at the hot spring. She sighed and mustered some energy, prepared to follow Chu Xisheng. However, after they had traveled a few miles, Chu Xisheng uttered a soft “Eh” as he used his night vision from Eagle Eye to scan the path ahead. “What is it?” Lu Luanti followed his gaze, and then her expression turned into one of shock. She saw three wolves, their bodies emanating gray flame, gnawing on a corpse. It seemed to be the swordsman who had escaped from her blade, his head had inexplicably been crushed into a pulp. However, Lu Luanti recognized the clothes on the body and the sword that lay beside it. She immediately leaped forward, decisively splitting the three wolves in two, before bracing herself against the disgust to examine the corpse. Lu Luanti’s eyes gradually lit up as the look of despair on her face vanished. She recognized the wound on the man’s chest, it was caused by her own blade penetrating through it. Indeed, this man was the swordsman. While she didn’t know who had dealt such a ruthless and overpowering blow, the man’s death might mean she could continue to infiltrate the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall. At this moment, Chu Xisheng also approached, silently reaching out his hand to her. “What do you want?” Lu Luanti’s expression darkened. “What do you think?” Chu Xisheng said with a nonchalant smile, hooking his finger slightly. What he wanted, of course, was the fifteen taels of Demon Silver that Lu Luanti had demanded back. Unable to help herself, Lu Luanti clicked her tongue and reluctantly returned the silver. However, she was in a good mood now and didn’t care about the money. “It’s uncertain whether the person who made the move is friend or foe, but having encountered him, even the wielder of the Divine Eagle Sword couldn’t draw his blade. We still need to be cautious.” While saying this, Lu Luanti took out a porcelain bottle and poured a drop of yellow liquid onto the body of the young man with the sword, which began to emit blue smoke and rapidly decomposed. Chu Xisheng immediately recognized it as the rumored Corpse Dissolving Water, an essential item for Jianghu people when committing murder and traveling. Lu Luanti’s purpose in doing this was to destroy the body and erase any traces. The marks from the blade on the body could potentially expose her identity. This girl was actually quite cautious. The Long Clan soldiers who had died at the hot spring area at her hand had been disposed of with the Corpse Dissolving Water. Lu Luanti had even taken the time to erase all the marks of combat she had left at the scene. Chu Xisheng also pocketed the treasure sword lying to the side, and at that moment, within his field of vision, a large firework burst, catapulting his Martial Arts Points to 19. His mind slightly stirred, he turned his head towards the back, a mysterious gleam appearing in his eyes. At the same time, Long Heng, the elder son of the Long Family, brought a group of people to the vicinity of the hot spring, to the location where Chu Xisheng had slain sixteen people. Long Heng, seeing the bodies on the ground, frowned deeply with a solemn expression. Beside him, an elder of the Long Family, Long Shifei, was also observing the remaining traces on the battlefield. By the time they arrived, the bodies had already been gnawed beyond recognition by evil creatures from the Fire Bone Cave. Luckily, Long Shifei, with his extensive experience, was still able to deduce part of the truth from the slightest clues. “The person who killed them must be at least of the Ninth Grade in strength, and used the Chasing Wind Saber. If nothing unexpected has occurred, the murderer is undoubtedly Chu Xisheng. Look at the wounds on the throats; the angle of the cuts is the same as before, only the force is greater and the speed faster. He must have found some medicine in the cave that increased his cultivation.” Long Shifei clicked his tongue in admiration, “Not only is this lad’s sword skill exceptional, but his strategy is also quite remarkable. He lured our men into disarray and then struck down the clan soldiers before eliminating the armored soldiers. With the strength of a single person, he managed to overpower these sixteen strong.” Long Sheng, the second son, heard this and was utterly baffled. The sickly youth, he now possessed such capability? His older brother, Long Heng, furrowed his brows, the worry evident: “Then what of Du Hong? My senior brother Du Hong is a swordsman of the Seventh Rank Upper Tier. Where was he when the battle commenced?” At that moment, an armored soldier clad in heavy iron armor hurriedly approached: “Eldest young master, we’ve discovered some traces near the hot spring ahead.” Without hesitation, Long Heng and Long Shifei led a group of people directly towards the hot spring. They searched the area thoroughly, their expressions growing even more solemn as iron. “Du Hong must have engaged in a fierce battle at this location, sustaining injuries and fleeing after a quarter-hour. Long Shifei, with hands clasped behind his back, pondered: “The strength of that person was nearly matched with Du Hong’s, but within this cave, the Eagle Sword could not exert its full power, thus he was overpowered. However, the identity of this person and the Martial Arts he used, remain unknown to me. The traces of the battle have been removed; there’s no way to determine.” Long Sheng’s expression shifted slightly, “Could it be Tie Xiaosheng? Gravely injured, Tie Xiaosheng’s strength might temporarily be only at the Seventh Grade.” No sooner had he spoken than those present tensed up. “It’s possible,” Long Shifei said, stroking his beard, his face unconvinced, “But if it was Tie Xiaosheng, why would he erase the traces here and deliberately obscure the facts?” Long Heng felt a heavy unease in his chest, realizing that regardless of the scenario, the situation was troublesome. This meant that beneath the cave resided a powerful being of at least Seventh Grade strength. And the number of people in the Long Family who could match such strength was meager.

He then recalled the reports from his subordinates about a mysterious figure who had slain several clan soldiers and infiltrated the Fire Bone Cave. After deliberating for a while, Long Heng finally exhaled a long breath: “Issue the command to pull back our forces. We’re heading back to the county. We’ll also hire some trustworthy Medicine Gatherers to come in and find the whereabouts of Senior Brother Dou as soon as possible.” Long Sheng was startled: “We’re not searching anymore? Just like that, we’re letting Tie Xiaosheng and Chu Xisheng go?” Long Heng, too lazy to answer, turned and walked in another direction. Long Shifei gave a wry smile and explained, “We must return to the city. The Flag Leader of the Iron Banner Gang, ‘Tie Xue Futu’ Iron Madman, has returned to Xiushui City this afternoon!” Long Sheng’s pupils constricted, and upon hearing the name ‘Tie Xue Futu,’ he nearly stopped breathing, almost gasping for air.
