Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

1078 Summer

“Let’s stop here. You’re not going to interrogate me all the time, are you? The next time you ask me a question, I’ll also ask about your relationship with those from Shi Long Kingdom.” Cai Yao Shu yawned.

He did want to get more information from Wan Xiong, but he had his own methods to obtain it. Naturally, the hardest to do was to ask frontally, so Cai Yao Shu would bid his time and try to obtain the information he wanted through his own way.

Wan Xiong closed his mouth obediently.

He had the feeling that between the two of them, the one who lead would undoubtedly be Cai Yao Shu despite this young man was more than a decade younger than him. However, he didn’t feel that dejected.

After meeting Nan Hua, Wan Xiong had met with more people whom he could only call as ‘monster.’

Every single one of them was very capable, but they were all listening to her words and followed her as if she was the sole leader in their entire life. This made Wan Xiong also respected Nan Hua greatly, but he naturally would not be as devoted as these people from Dark Moon Organization.

Anyway, he believed that Nan Hua would not pick someone useless.

With Cai Yao Shu’s capabilities, they should be able to finish their job.

Hopefully soon.

.....

He didn’t want to reveal his complete past to Cai Yao Shu either. This young man had already known so much even without him saying anything. If he added more clue, wouldn’t he be like a complete transparent paper in front of him?

Just imagining it had put him in bad mood.

“Ok, first, let’s go to…”

…

Time passed ever so slowly.

After the meeting with Black and Cai Yao Shu, Nan Hua stayed on the Mountain Tribe and tried to make the medicines from Chen Family inheritance. But the first few tries almost made her doubt her life.

It was hard.

It was almost as if this set of technique and medicines concocting methods could only be done by those who were part of Chen Family.

However, Nan Hua knew that there was indeed only one person who could make it so perfectly similar.

It was just…

That person’s talent was simply too high.

Nan Hua could only obediently try again and again until she managed to make the incense and the medicines. Afterwards, she practiced the technique that was stipulated there and tried to manipulate one or two points in order to change the order.

It was hard.

And what Nan Hua met was failure over failure.

There were not many people whom Yu Jin could capture from the war, so Nan Hua didn’t have that many chances in order to test her technique.

It was tiring.

Really…

Tiring.

The war was still going on and the number of these kinds of soldiers just increased in various battlefield. While they were indeed limited, the destructive forces brought by these groups of people put a halt on Fei Yang Kingdom’s progress.

The stalemate was even worse than before.

The land was completely dyed in blood, yet neither side could advance even a step from their original location.

They eventually put a stop on their battle.

And watched each other in their new border.

Nan Hua really spent a lot of her time to stay holed up on the Xia Mountain. She thought she would stay here until her twin brother was impatient enough to send her a mountain of letters, asking her to come and participate with him.

But the message that made her came out was a mission issued through Dark Moon Organization in early summer.

“Princess Jun, there’s a specific mission directed towards Master Jiu.”

Nan Hua, who had just washed her hand, paused in her steps. There was only one person who had her mission token who could give her specific mission.

Why did he use it now?

She thought that he would only use it when the situation between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom had reached that breaking point.

“Give it to me.”

“Yes, Princess.”

Nan Hua too the token and her eyes flashed with surprise. Who would have thought that it was actually this kind of mission? She suppressed whatever thoughts she had inside her mind and nodded.

“Tell him, I accept.”

…

A few days prior

The war between Fei Yang Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom reached another stalemate. While Long Qian Xing knew that Fei Yang Kingdom hadn’t entered total war state yet, this sight still irritate him.

Not to mention, the special forces of soldiers that Zhang Xu Kingdom sent from time to time.

He would be an idiot if he said that he hadn’t suspected it.

Their number was still fairly low.

But these people were very hard to deal with as they were fighting without any regards of their lives. If not for the order to retreat, many of them would definitely fight until their body couldn’t move anymore.

“And they’re also using poisons.” Long Qian Xing shook his head when he looked at the report. The poison had no effect on him, but his soldiers would definitely be affected. With his help, they could get the antidote and start to build the immunity, but it would take time.

Not to mention, there would definitely be a vast amount of poison.

Not everyone was like him who had come into contact with poison ever since he was young and had built his immunity.

Most soldiers couldn’t stand it.

“The antidotes are decreasing and the doctors are still rushing to make it.” The soldier bowed as he gave the report.

Long Qian Xing nodded. ‘The prices of the herbs are increasing again. I should send a letter to Lin Yuan so that he could gather more at a less expensive price.’

If he could buy it at lower price, why should he go for the higher price?

Still, this was only a temporary solution.

General Wei was generous enough to promote him to be a 5000 men commander a few months ago, but Long Qian Xing knew very well that it was only because he needed more manpower.

Just as he was thinking, a messenger came.

“Young Commander Long, there’s a letter for you.”
