Chapter 567: Sacked

The black-robed apothecary could not believe it even until his death.
He had been famous for his entire life and had refined countless poisons. In the end, he actually fell into the hands of an unknown little girl.
He was indignant.
He still did not understand what poison this girl had used on him. How could it be stronger than his poison?
He stared fixedly at Su Xiaoxiao, as if he wanted to memorize this face and bring it into his next life. He wouldn’t let it go even if he became a ghost.
Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. She looked at him calmly until he died.
Su Xiaoxiao retracted her dagger and opened his shirt to take a look. “You’re even wearing a heart armor.”
Fortunately, Lord Wu An’s dagger was sharp enough.
Su Xiaoxiao wiped the dagger clean and sheathed it.
Wuhu on the branch covered its eyes with its wings.
The traitor expressed that the scene was too cruel and the baby did not dare to look.
Su Xiaoxiao fed it a serving of bird food.
In an instant, the parrot widened its eyes in a second and glared fiercely at the black-robed apothecary in the pool of blood, giving him an Abyssal Gaze from the Bird King.
Next, Su Xiaoxiao went to the black-robed apothecary’s courtyard.
She was a doctor and actually did not know much about poison, especially the various poisons of this dynasty. She had almost never seen them.
She found many poisons in the courtyard. Most of them had an antidote, and some had yet to be developed.
In addition, she also saw some poisonous creatures that were being tortured. They were either dead or injured. It seemed that it depended on luck to refine powerful poisonous creatures.
Su Xiaoxiao fed them the antidote and let them go.
These poisonous creatures would be a disaster if they were left in the White Lotus Society. It would be a pity to destroy them. They might be useful in the future.
Su Xiaoxiao packed the various types of poison.
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao found the black-robed apothecary’s belongings in his cabinet.
There was not much silver, but there was a stack of banknotes. Unfortunately, they were banknotes from the Western Jin and could not be used in the Great Zhou.
“Eh? What’s this?”
Su Xiaoxiao found a book under the banknotes.
It was the black-robed apothecary’s writing. It contained no less than a hundred types of poisonous grass and his unique poison technique.
Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the booklet and realized what kind of big shot she had killed.
“This guy… is so powerful?”
To be fancied by MO Guiyuan, he was indeed capable. If not for the fact that she had the pharmacy, it would probably be difficult for her to kill him so easily.
It was the case of an inexperienced person defeating a master by throwing out the rules of traditions.
An hour later, Su Xiaoxiao carried bags of things to meet the Old Marquis.
Yuchi Xiu was also there.
He was about to look for Su Xiaoxiao when he saw her rushing over. He couldn’t help but frown. “What did you do?”
“Oh, I picked up some stuff. Take it.” Su Xiaoxiao threw the bags at him.
At the mention of this, Su Xiaoxiao was furious.
Su Xiaoxiao planned to put the poisons in the pharmacy, but the pharmacy didn’t let her.
She wondered if her relationship with the pharmacy had really been harmonious recently. What kind of temper was this?
Could it be that gold could enter, but poison could not?
Helpless, Su Xiaoxiao could only pack the poison and carry it back herself.
She was exhausted.
Yuchi Xiu thought that she had gone to pick up gold again. He opened the bag and took a look. He was so frightened that he jumped three times. “Damn! Of all the things you can pick up! You picked up so much poison!”
Although Yuchi Xiu was an assassin and had a certain understanding of poison, he was not as proficient as an apothecary.
The black bear also smelled the smell that made it suffer. It carried its cub and took a few steps back, roaring at the bag.
The Old Marquis looked at Su Xiaoxiao worriedly. “Are you injured?” “No.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.
The Old Marquis continued, “The medicine master of the Western Jin..
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “He’s dead.” The Old Marquis was very shocked.
In the past, he only knew that his granddaughter, who had grown up in the countryside, had outstanding medical skills. However, it was obvious that her medical skills alone could not kill the medicine master of the Western Jin
Dynasty.
Tonight, the little girl had brought him too many surprises.
Her archery skills, clean technique, calm and wise mind, and invincible courage…
She had all the outstanding qualities of a general. This was the real tiger girl.
If she was a man…
Thinking of this, the Old Marquis felt a little regretful.
At the same time, his heart ached for the little girl. Talent was innate, but no matter how good iron was, it had to be tempered thousands of times to become steel.
She… had suffered a lot.
In the most hidden courtyard in the peach forest, MO Guiyuan had just drunk the last cup of peach wine.
The wine glass was still there, but he had slipped away.
Zhang Feng asked, “Sect Master, is it fine to let him go just like that? Will he rush to inform Young Sect Master?”
MO Guiyuan smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine if he goes. Even if he joins, they still can’t defeat Slave Xiu.”
Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu were still young, and their martial arts attainment was inferior to Slave Xiu’s. It was hard to say in a few years, especially when it came to Wei Ting. His talent was higher than that of the death warriors, and the level of his martial arts might be above Slave Xiu’s in the future.
However, he was not Slave Xiu’s match at present.
“The Marquis of Zhenbei is also here,” Zhang Feng said.
MO Guiyuan said unrestrainedly, “Medicine Master has already targeted the
Marquis of Zhenbei. He won’t let the Marquis of Zhenbei have the chance to get close to Slave Xiu.”
In fact, the first person Medicine Master targeted was Wei Ting.
However, Wei Ting was MO Guiyuan’s grandson. Before MO Guiyuan completely gave up on this grandson, he could not touch him.
Zhang Feng said with relief, “The Medicine Master is also there. That’s foolproof.”
MO Guiyuan said firmly, “Everything… is under my control.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a disciple rushed over with a hurried expression and cupped his hands at MO Guiyuan. “Sect Master! Something happened!”
MO Guiyuan held his wine glass and said slowly, “Did Slave Xiu injure someone? Go and tell Slave Xiu that he can teach him a lesson, but don’t kill him.”
The extent of this lesson was actually a little intriguing.
A beating was a lesson, a crippled arm was a lesson, and even partial crippling of a limb could be labelled a lesson.
The disciple said in a panic, “No, not Slave Xiu…”
MO Guiyuan smiled casually and said, “Then the medicine master captured the Marquis of Zhenbei? If the Imperial Court comes to ask for him, I have my own ideas.”
The disciple lowered his head and said, “It’s… it’s not Marquis Zhenbei… it’s
Medicine Master! Something happened to Medicine Master! He was killed!”
Crack!
The wine glass in MO Guiyuan’s hand was crushed.
Zhang Feng took a step forward and asked, “Did you make a mistake? How could the Medicine Master be killed?”
He was the ancestor of poison and the second strongest expert other than Slave Xiu. Who could kill him?
Marquis Zhenbei?
Impossible!
It was even more impossible for Yuchi Xiu!
The disciple said in fear, “I don’t dare to lie…”
MO Guiyuan and Zhang Feng saw the corpse of the Medicine Master of the Western Jin Dynasty in the forest.
He lay in a pool of blood, less than thirty feet from his courtyard.
His right hand was shot through and he died instantly from a stab in his heart.
There were not many traces of a fight at the event location. Even Slave Xiu could not kill him without fighting.
Then there was only one possibility—he had been drugged.
But who could drug an apothecary?!
“There are experts with my grandson that I don’t know about…”
Zhang Feng came out of the courtyard and cupped his hands. “Sect Master, the Medicine Master’s courtyard has also been ransacked.”
MO Guiyuan’s expression darkened completely.
Stealing his treasury, killing his apothecary, and plundering his poison…
Good.
His grandson… was very good!
MO Guiyuan gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Tell Slave Xiu that there’s no need to show mercy!”
Slave Xiu and Wei Ting fought fiercely from the forest.
The sacrificial soldiers paid the price of losing their lives. They did not know pain and were fearless. The more they fought, the braver they became until the last drop of blood flowed out.
Normal people could not do this. Their stamina would be exhausted.
It was already a miracle that Wei Ting had lasted until now. However, unfortunately, he had stepped into a trap.
His right foot was firmly stuck.
Slave Xiu stabbed at his chest.
Wei Ting tilted his waist to avoid it. The pouch was cut, and a rusty iron bell fell out.
Slave Xiu looked at the iron bell and suddenly paused..
