Chapter 732: Ziyue Cave Heaven Disciples
Footsteps could be heard not long after getting rid of the three Black Blood Mercenary Corps members. Three guys and three girls carefully appeared from within the forest. After looking at the three corpses on the ground, they stared at Xiao Luo with a horrified expression.
"This brother here, may I ask if you were the one who killed these three from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps?" the gentle-looking man asked, respectfully cupping his fists together after putting his sword away.
Xiao Luo only regained his senses after waking up from his meditation. He raised his head and took a glance. All six of them were dressed in purple, and they all held a sword. If his guess was correct, these were the Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples that the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were talking about earlier on.
Slowly chewing a piece of raccoon meat he cut, he nodded and softly replied, "Yes, I killed them."
Was he really the one who killed them?
But these three were martial art spirits, to think that they had died on the spot. The person here didn't look much older than them. Had he actually reached the peak of the Martial Spirit Realm? Or had he already ascended the limits of a martial arts spirit and reached the level of a martial lord?
All six of them couldn't help but gasp as they found it extremely unbelievable. If this guy had reached the level of a martial lord at such a young age, they probably couldn't find anyone else like him here in Arcana Land. Even if he wasn't a martial lord and was just at the peak of the Martial Spirit Realm, it was a disgusting level of talent.
"Are you people from Ziyue Cave Heaven? I heard that these three dead people from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were chasing after and trying to kill the whole lot of you," Duck Emperor couldn't control its mouth very well and said in a decrepit tone with its wings behind its back.
A talking duck?
Beast…beast demon?
All six of them were so scared that they were staggering. No one could have imagined that an ordinary duck would actually reach the level of beast demon. A young man who had reached the peak of the Martial Spirit Realm and a strange animal that had reached the level of beast demon. Oh god, this world had gone insane.
The gentle-looking man calmed himself down, bowed to Duck Emperor, and said, "In response to the beast demon's question, we are indeed from Ziyue Cave Heaven."
"Why are the people from the Black Blood Mercenary Corps trying to kill you?" Duck Emperor walked back and forth, enjoying the feeling of being respected.
"That…"
The man hesitated for a bit.
"Brother Zuo, you can't!"
"That's right Brother Zuo, the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid is a once in a century occurrence. It took us so much effort before we could find it, and the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were trying to kill us for it. If you let the wicked beast know, I'm sure it will try to steal it for itself just like the Black Blood Mercenary Corps!"
"The Eight-petal Immortal Orchid is for master's treatment. If we lose it, I'm afraid master won't live more than two months."
The other five dragged the man aside and softly whispered to him. If they didn't act cautiously around this wicked beast and young man with caution, there was nothing they could use to fight against them.
Xiao Luo could hear them clearly though they were speaking softly. All he did was giggle a little but didn't really show it.
The man thought for a bit, then sighed and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, do you think we can fool them just by keeping quiet? No, maybe we can hide it from that brother there, but there's no way we can hide it from the beast demon. If they really have evil intentions, our little tricks are not going to do anything."
After hearing that, the five of them put their head down. They understood where Brother Zuo Xiangming was coming from. There was nowhere for them to hide the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid in from a beast demon. They were extremely vexed and didn't understand why they followed the fire here.
"Screw their ducking mum! What are they whispering about over there? How odd. Why do you people from Arcana Land enjoy whispering so much?" Duck Emperor, who couldn't understand what was going on, shook its head.
Zuo Xiangming walked over with a smile and replied to Duck Emperor's question, "Demon Beast Lord, the reason why the Black Blood Mercenary Corps were trying to kill us was because we obtained the greatest luck by receiving an Eight-petal Immortal Orchid."
Without hiding anything, honestly revealing everything.
"Eight-petal Immortal Orchid? What's that? Let this duck have a look."
Duck Emperor looked at Xiao Luo. It had some knowledge about things from the original world but wasn't too familiar with the things in Arcana Land.
The other five Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were shocked, and thought, 'That's it. This wicked beast is going to steal the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid. It is obviously trying to lure Brother Zuo and get him to take out the orchid.'
"This is it," Zuo Xiangming said with a bitter smile. He cautiously took out the orchid that was in his pocket.
It was an orchid with eight petals. Each petal was as red as blood, and a floral fragrance was spreading to their surrounding area. Anyone who smelled that fragrance would feel good. It was refreshing and unique.
"Oh, wow! What a beautiful flower! It smells really good too!"
Duck Emperor was a little bit obsessed with it now and took the orchid using its hand-like wings. It put it close to its eye and couldn't stop admiring it.
The other five Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples were starting to feel a little bit tense. This was their last hope to save their master, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Hey, young offspring, can you give this orchid to this duck here? This duck here wants to make this a specimen and put it on my bookshelf so that I can admire it in the future," Duck Emperor requested. It really loved the orchid.
Swish, swish, swish.
The five Ziyue Cave Heaven disciples, who were already a little tense, were now angry and pulled out their swords.
Duck Emperor got a shock, and all the feathers on its duck head were already standing up straight.
Zuo Xiangming lifted his hand to stop his junior brothers and sisters, turned around, and spoke to Duck Emperor in a nicer tone, "Beast Demon Lord, please forgive them. This orchid is for us to treat our master's illness. Our master's illness is severe. If we lose the orchid, he won't be able to live beyond two months. May this lord have mercy. We Ziyue Cave Heaven will never forget this lord's kindness."
Xiao Luo, who had only been watching, stood up all of a sudden and walked towards Duck Emperor. "Stinky Duck, return the orchid to them."
Duck Emperor was not unreasonable. It returned the fairy orchid to Zuo Xiangming. "You should have said so earlier. Since you need it to save a life, then this duck won't try to keep it for itself."
Just like that, they were able to retrieve it.
Zuo Xiangming got the orchid back and found it a little odd.
The other five were shocked for a bit and kept their swords afterwards. They also quickly withdrew the intimidation that they had towards Xiao Luo.
"Ugh… What a beautiful orchid… If only this duck here could turn it into a specimen and keep it for itself, that would have been great," Duck Emperor regretfully sighed.
Xiao Luo looked at it coldly. "You stinky duck, other people are trying to kill them because of this orchid. Do you think they're going to give it to you? Do you think they've lost their minds?"
"You goddamn brat! This duck here still returned it to them anyways," Duck Emperor unhappily replied.
Xiao Luo didn't say anything and returned to his own seat.
"Thank you, Brother. Thank you, Beast Demon Lord. We, the disciples of Ziyue Cave Heaven, will remember your kindness." Zuo Xiangming bowed towards Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor.
The other five followed and respectfully thanked the both of them as well.
"Since you see this as kindness, then there's an opportunity for you to return it right now," Xiao Luo said.
Hmm?
The six of them had a confused look on their faces.
