Chapter 748: The Saint is Cruel and Merciless (Part 3)
The key and the box that Lou Lie hid are still there.
He put the key in the secret compartment under the bed, and used the key to open the lock on the outside of the box, revealing a scroll inside.
It seemed that the treasure map was safe and sound, but Lou Lie knew that the treasure map inside was fake.
He just revealed to his granddaughter this morning that the Saint had given him the key...
"Saint, Yin'er will not betray you. Her parents also died at the hands of the thief Shen."
Mingli emerged from the darkness.
"It is true that Lou Yin took the treasure map, but she has the Puppet Gu in her body, so it is understandable."
"Please, Saint, spare her life for the sake of her parents being loyal ministers of the Tianming Dynasty."
The Great Elder half-knelt on the ground and apologized for Lou Yin.
"Don't blame yourself, Great Elder. After this is over, I will save her life and cure her poison."
"Thank you Saint!"
The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and then prepared to work hard to make amends.
Through Lou Yin, Mingli has found out Duan Jingwu's spies and the location of his army.
Since they were planning to poison the water and then attack late at night, she naturally had to strike first.
In a deep valley one mile away from the Wansheng Clan, Duan Jingwu was holding the treasure map, overjoyed. He seemed to see the magnificent scene of himself ascending the throne as emperor.
If Duan Jingwu hadn't been able to maintain his composure, he would have been ready to attack the Wansheng Tribe in broad daylight! He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Pass the order down. No fires are allowed. Let the soldiers eat their fill and prepare for a night attack."
There was no sun or moon in the dense forest, and the sky darkened quickly. In the evening, Duan Jingwu's men closed their eyes to rest, waiting for the night attack in a few hours.
Suddenly, some people covered their stomachs and cried out in pain, while others bled to death from all seven orifices.
Duan Jingwu quickly asked the accompanying military doctor to check the situation, but he could not save the lives of the soldiers.
Before he could take any further action, countless arrows fell from the sky, all of which were poisoned. Those who were shot soon vomited black blood and died.
"Enemy attack! Get out of the way!"
Duan Jingwu hid behind a big rock and realized that their actions had been discovered.
The opportunity is lost!
By the time the rain of arrows was over, most of the soldiers he brought with him had died, leaving less than a thousand people. The cliff was densely packed with enemies, so he had no choice but to order a retreat.
Mingli caught up with Duan Jingwu wearing a mask.
"Hand over the treasure map, or you will die."
Duan Jingwu looked at the woman in front of him whose true face he could not identify, and guessed that this was the saint of the Wansheng clan, the Princess Wuyang mentioned by Shen Tiaotiao, who would threaten the rule of the Shen Kingdom.
"Hmph, remnants of the previous dynasty, how can you be so presumptuous? You vicious witch, give me your life!"
Duan Jingwu raised his sword and swung it towards Mingli. He wanted to kill this woman.
Shen Tiaotiao said that this saint's martial arts would have a period of decline, and now is the time when she is weak.
Since she came to him herself, he would use her head to sacrifice to the dead soldiers.
Duan Jingwu was confident in himself; he was a gifted general! But after just a few blows, he looked at his shoulder in disbelief. It was now bloodied, and his hands were weak.
Mingli sneered: "I thought he was so powerful, but he is just a waste. The generals of Shen Kingdom are no better than him."
"General!"
"General!"
His men rushed forward to rescue him from Mingli.
"Cover the general's retreat!"
Although the Wansheng people were far inferior to Mingli in martial arts, they arrived quickly and eliminated all the soldiers who were following behind.
The Great Elder prepared to take his men to continue the pursuit.
"Duan Jingwu is still useful. Elder, just pretend to kill his men and remember to spare his life."
Lou Lie wanted to retort, how could he let Duan Jingwu escape? But he still bowed and said, "The Saint must have other plans. I will obey your orders."
"I know the Great Elder is eager for revenge, so I'll wait for a while. If I wanted to kill him, I would have killed him just now, but he can still be useful to our cause."
"A little impatience will ruin a great plan. I will obey the Saint."
He led his men to continue the pursuit, while Mingli asked his tribesmen to clean up the battlefield and destroy the bodies.
The Great Elder did not return until early in the morning of the third day.
"Saintess, they have already escaped from the Hundred Thousand Mountains and entered the city under the jurisdiction of the Shen Kingdom. However, Duan Jingwu did not get away with it either. I guess they won't dare to attack again in the short term."
"Okay, in the near future I will take people to rearrange the area within 30 miles of the clan territory, setting traps, mazes and killing arrays to prevent the Shen Kingdom from sending people to attack again. Also, select a group of people to go out with me, it's time to stir up trouble."
"Yes! I'll arrange the selection right away. Those boys and girls will surely be eager to try out the opportunity to accompany you on this mission."
Mingli smiled and told some selection requirements, and the Great Elder quickly went to do it.
