Chapter 522 Seeing what you shouldn't have seen naturally comes at a price.
Wan Jinyou shook his head. "Father, please stop trying to persuade me. Your life is the most important thing. I won't go. Besides, my uncle and the others have already gone far away."
“You child, the Heavenly Sacrifice, which takes place once every five years, is not something just anyone can participate in. You came here after going through layers of selection within the clan. It’s not good to give up like this,” Wan Qingwei said, not wanting him to implicate his son.
Wan Jinyou turned his head away, no longer looking at him, his eyes full of worry. "Instead of persuading me to go treasure hunting, Father, we should discuss how to deal with the Wizard's Temple's pursuit."
His tone was somewhat sad and stubborn.
Two hours later, the group rested in a small valley.
"Master, Wan Qingwei and his group have been surrounded!"
Gu Qingyue was dozing off against Mu Yunchu when suddenly Yue Ling flew over and called out.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up. They were finally going to make their move?!
She was so tired from following them for so long that she wanted to sleep, but the wizard's temple finally moved!
very good!
"Let's go see," she said, standing up first.
Mu Yun Chu also stood up, and the group quickly ran towards Wan Qing Wei and the others.
Beside a stream outside the dense forest.
Wan Qingwei, supported by Wan Jinyou, stood ramrod straight despite his injuries.
"You've finally shown yourself?" Wan Qingwei said sarcastically, looking at a woman dressed in black and wearing a mask opposite him.
"Young Master Wan, you really have a bad memory. You killed our people last time, did you think that would be the end of it?"
The woman's voice was rather low, which was clearly intentional.
"Heh! Your people? What kind of people are they? Kidnapping civilians and doing shady things, do you even consider yourselves human?"
Wow! That's quite a sharp tongue.
Gu Qingyue and the others leaned against a tree not far away. She released her spiritual power and approached to observe.
Sure enough, this must be Protector Yuan. Gu Qingyue's eyes circled around her several times. Her figure was very similar, except that she was dressed in black and her face was covered.
The woman dismissed Wan Qingwei's sarcasm, saying, "This world is a dog-eat-dog world. The weak are destined to be slaughtered. What kind of shameful deeds are these?"
"Hehehe! Just like you right now, do you think I wouldn't know who you are just because you're wearing a mask? Protector Yuan, it's been a long time!" Wan Qingwei glanced at the woman in front of him with disdain.
"Hahaha------You really are stupid! You think we don't know who you are because you secretly oppose the Wizarding Temple? Since you know that the Wizarding Temple will definitely get rid of you, you still dare to enter the cage woven by my Wizarding Temple?"
Protector Yuan tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing eyes as sharp as a hawk's, carrying a sinister glint.
Wan Qingwei remained silent, but he was not timid.
"To tell you the truth, if you hadn't exposed my identity just now, we might have spared your life. Since you don't know what's good for you, then you're doomed!"
She raised her hand, signaling to the man in black beside her to prepare to make a move.
"Wait!" Wan Qingwei spoke, a sudden thought stirring within him, a pang of sorrow rising within him. "You want my life? Fine, but I want to know... why did Man Niang die back then?"
Man Niang was his wife. They had been in love for many years, but one day she went to the palace to accompany the Queen. Three days after returning, she hanged herself and died without leaving a single word.
He still dares not tell his son the cause of his mother's death. He speculates that it is related to the Queen or the Temple of Wizardry, but he has no evidence.
Now that he was going to die, he wanted to know why.
"Father?" Wan Jinyou looked at the person beside him in shock.
"Oh-----you mean that woman who doesn't know what's good for her?" Protector Yuan laughed freely. "Your son's mother? Of course she saw something she shouldn't have seen, so she has to pay the price."
"what's up?"
A look of seriousness and anger flashed in Wan Qingwei's eyes.
"All you need to know is that she offended our High Priest. If it weren't for the sake of the Hacha tribe, she probably would have survived."
That woman had only happened to witness the great shaman casting a spell on the King of Nanzhao. If it weren't for the fear that the Hacha tribe and the Queen would have become suspicious, they would have thrown her to the wolves on the spot.
The great wizard told her that if she did not hang herself within three days of returning home, his son would become the next ingredient in the drug.
She naturally dared not live.
"Offended the Grand Wizard? Hahaha!" Wan Qingwei laughed bitterly. "I'm afraid Manniang saw something filthy she shouldn't have! It's truly unfortunate that our Nanzhao Kingdom has scoundrels like you—"
'Whoosh-----' Before Wan Qingwei could finish speaking, his curved blade was drawn, and he charged directly at Protector Yuan!
Wan Jinyou, who was standing next to them, was stunned by what the two said!
Didn't my mother die of illness?
So, it was the Wizarding Temple that did the killing?!
His heart started pounding!
He clenched his fists tighter and tighter, but when he saw his father holding the scimitar with bloodshot eyes, he suddenly came to his senses.
Those scoundrels from the Wizarding Temple!
Without hesitation, Wan Jinyou lunged at the men in black who were surrounding them, his curved blade sweeping across like a god of death!
In just a moment, Wan Jinyou's five men were engaged in fierce combat with the men in black.
"How long do you think Wan Qingwei can hold out?" Qin Fang and Zhang Qingxuan whispered to each other.
"At most fifteen minutes, look, the wound on his abdomen has already reopened," Zhang Qingxuan said thoughtfully.
"Master?" Yue Ling looked at Gu Qingyue, who was observing with her hands in her sleeves and did not seem to be about to make a move, and was puzzled.
Gu Qingyue stroked her chin, pondering the words of the two people she had just heard. In other words, Wan Qingwei and the Wizard's Hall had a blood feud over the murder of his wife.
"Let's take another look," Gu Qingyue said, looking at Wan Qingwei fighting with Protector Yuan. She knew perfectly well how serious his injuries were.
However, he seemed determined to die, his eyes filled with ferocity, and he wielded his curved sword with great skill, completely disregarding the open wounds on his body, as if he had no regard for life or death.
He has tried his best!
But Protector Yuan handled it with great ease. It seemed that Protector Yuan's martial arts skills were quite good and he was not someone to be trifled with.
Let's see how things go.
Suddenly, Wan Qingwei was struck in the chest by the Yuan Protector's palm, and with a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wan Qingwei staggered back a few steps, but then laughed, "Old witch, your Wizarding Hall will surely be punished! You've done so many evil deeds, one day, Heaven will have eyes and make sure you die without a burial place!"
"Hahaha! You're still as stupid as ever! Whether Heaven has eyes or not, I don't know, but I know that you will die on Plum Valley Mountain today, along with your son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind rushed towards Wan Qingwei's chest, but Wan Qingwei did not dodge and even closed his eyes.
"Foolish! Save people!" Gu Qingyue said, and had already flown away.
Mu Yun Chu flew even faster, raising his hand to strike out a palm, barely blocking Protector Yuan's palm wind!
Another grandmaster!
Protector Yuan watched helplessly as a figure flew through the air and took the fatal blow from his palm, and he gritted his teeth in anger!
Just as Wan Qingwei was about to die, Mu Dong carried him away from Protector Yuan's attack range.
