âAfter that, did you decide to escape on this ship?â Yu Wan looked at him and asked.
The young man nodded, then shook his head. âI did think of escaping. I heard that thereâs a place⦠thatâs the territory of the Sorcerer Clan. There are no Sacred Clanâs members there, so the sorcerers wonât be persecuted. I wanted to bring my senior brothers and the others away, but I was captured halfway and only I escaped. I boarded this ship to save them, but I didnât expect to be targeted by the Sacred Clan.â
Yu Wan exclaimed, âWhat a twisty story.â
The young man did not refute, nor did he immerse himself in sorrow for too long. He looked up and looked at Yu Wan with a complicated expression. âThe heads of this ship are very afraid of you. What are your identities?â
âThereâs no need for you to know about this,â Yu Wan said calmly.
The young manâs eyes became shrewd in an instant. âYouâve asked so much about the Sorcerer Clan. Do you want to go there, too?â This kid was not stupid. The young man struck while the iron was hot and said, âI know the place. I can bring you there, but I have a condition.â
Yu Wan smiled. âYou know the place, but donât I? Do I need you to bring me?â
The young man sneered. âDo you know that not just anyone can enter the territory of the Sorcerer Clan?â
âWhat do you mean?â Yu Wan asked.
The young man raised his chin and said, âIf there were no sorcerers traveling with you, you wouldnât be able to enter at all.â
Yu Wan smiled. âCanât I just kidnap you?â
The young man did not expect her to say this. The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely and he said, âIâm only a small black-rank sorcerer. My junior brother is different. Heâs talented and intelligent. Heâs already an earth-rank sorcerer. With him around, your chances of entering the Sorcerer Clan will be much higher.â
Yu Wan smiled faintly. âIn the end, you just want me to help you save your junior brothers.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The young man swept away the aloofness and arrogance on his face and cupped his hands piously. âIf youâre willing to save us, weâll definitely repay you!â
Yu Wan was not in a hurry to agree to him. Instead, she went to Grandmaâs room and told him what the young man had said and gave him the sorcererâs token.
âThis token is real.â Grandma nodded.
âWhat about his words? Are they also true? If we donât have the Great Sorcerer to travel with us, we wonât even be able to enter the territory of the Sorcerer
Clan?â
âIâm afraid itâs true,â Grandma said. Along the way, he had read many books about the Sorcerer Clan. The more he read, the more he realized that the trip to the Sorcerer Clan was not as easy as he had imagined. If he could have a few sorcerers accompany him, it would not be a bad thing for them.
Yu Wan sighed. âSince Grandma said so, it seems like we have to make a move.â
At dinner, Yu Wan put the rescue on the agenda.
Yan Jiuchao took a sip of tea. âWhere are they locked up?â
Yu Wan spread out a map of the Jade Nation and pointed at an island drawn with cinnabar. âOn this island. Our ship will pass by there in the middle of the night and purchase the necessary supplies there. Itâll leave in two hours.â
Shadow Six said thoughtfully, âIn other words, we only have two hours to save them. Did he say the exact location of the prison?â
âHere.â Yu Wan pointed at a forest on the map. âThere are probably a few courtyards in this place. I just donât know which courtyard his senior brother, senior sister, and junior brother are locked in. However, theyâve also been poisoned by the Snow Domain Heavenly Silkworm Gu. We can find them according to this clue.â
Shadow Six said seriously, âAlright, after the ship docks, Iâll go with Thirteen!â âThis is their portrait.â Yu Wan took out the portrait drawn by the young man.
âThereâs a child?â Shadow Sixâs eyes widened.
The man in the portrait was less than twenty years old, and the woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old. The child looked to be no more than eight or nine years old. He could not believe that such a little fellow had inherited all of his masterâs mantle and become a Great Sorcerer who surpassed his senior brothers and sisters.
Yu Wan said, âHe has such wisdom at such a young age. Itâs said that his strength has been underestimated. Perhaps heâs even stronger. In short, our hopes of entering the Sorcerer Clan are all on this child!â
Shadow Thirteen said, âDonât worry, Young Madam. Weâll bring them out safely.â
âIâll go with you!â Yu Shaoqing said.
Yu Wan opened her mouth. âDad.. â
Yu Shaoqing waved his hand and interrupted her. âArenât we going to save three people? How can two be enough? Your Dadâs martial arts are so high. I can help them if they encounter any danger.â
âThisâ¦â Your martial arts donât even seem to be able to defeat Shadow Sixâ¦
Yu Wan was about to refuse when Yan Jiuchao said, âLet Dad go. With Dad around, it will definitely be foolproof.â
After interacting with his son-in-law for so long, this sentence was the most pleasant! Yu Shaoqing valiantly went to pack his things!
Yu Wan muttered, âCan my Dad really do it? Iâm very worried about him.â
In the middle of the night, the ship sailed towards an island. The boatmen stopped the ship at the docks. There were already people waiting at the docks with lanterns. When they saw familiar faces, they politely greeted them.
The storeroom was not far. Two hours might not be enough to save three prisoners, but it was more than enough to transport supplies.
âLetâs go and have a drink!â
The group left laughing.
Yu Shaoqing, Shadow Thirteen, and Shadow Six changed into their night clothes and silently alighted.
Shadow Six gestured to the east. The two of them understood and used their qinggong to flash into the forest.
After entering the forest, Little Gu jumped off Yu Shaoqingâs shoulder and began to sense the aura of the Snow Domain Heavenly Silkworm Gu.
âSqueak!â Little Gu cried out excitedly and ran towards a small straw hut.
âWait!â Shadow Six was about to follow when he was stopped by Shadow Thirteen. Shadow Thirteenâs expression was not good.
âWhatâs wrong?â Shadow Six asked softly.
Shadow Thirteen lowered his voice and said, âThereâs a very powerful aura in the forest.â
âHow powerful?â Yu Shaoqing asked.
âThe Rakshasa King,â Shadow Thirteen said.
The two of them paused when they heard that there was a Rakshasa King in the forest. The journey was so calm that they almost forgot about the danger of the Sorcerer Clan. Now, they had encountered the Rakshasa King when they casually saved someone!
âWeâve only reached Jade Nation, but weâve already met the Rakshasa King. In the futureâ¦â Shadow Six did not dare to think further.
Shadow Thirteen said, âDonât use your qinggong. Put away all your internal energy. The Rakshasa King doesnât care about a few people without martial arts.â
The three of them restrained their auras and tiptoed over.
The place where Little Gu stayed was the courtyard guarded by the Rakshasa King. Even the Rakshasa King was mobilized, so it could be seen that the child was indeed extraordinarily noble.
The three of them carefully walked in. They found the young manâs senior brother and sister, but they could not find the child.
Little Gu jumped on the ground and pointed at the innermost room. Shadow Thirteenâs expression changed. That was the Rakshasa Kingâs room!!! That child was actually locked up there?!
Shadow Thirteen handed the unconscious woman on his back to Shadow Six. âShadow Six, you and Master take them away first. Iâll go save that child!â
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Yu Shaoqing walking towards the room.
Shadow Thirteenâs expression changed. Master!
Yu Shaoqing did not know that this was the Rakshasa Kingâs room. He took out his dagger and gently pried open the door. An eight or nine-year-old child was curled up on the carpet. It seemed like he had fallen asleep.
This should be that little junior brother, right? Yu Shaoqing walked over in two to three steps and picked up the children.
The moment he turned around, the child in his arms suddenly opened his blood-red eyes and bit at his neck!
