Chapter 471: Heavenly Dew

Yeah, fifth has been through a string of victories and has the seven houses under him. Luo clan is short on staff, but with the ineffable Zhuo Fan, hell break our siege! Dugu Feng clapped, shouting.

The others nodded.

Dugu Zhantian was the only one steamed, Silence, call for help comes first and then the rest. But we can call on anyone but fifth!

Why? Dugu Feng crumbled.

Dugu Zhantian sighed, Ever since Zhuo Fan got the dragon soul and entered His Majestys sight, fifth has been behind him all the way and our bond has been cut. Each to his own fate. Moreover, we were just about to destroy the Luo clan. And now that were on the ropes, were supposed to ask them for help? Have we no dignity?

But Marshal fifth wont care. He will always stick to his Marshal. Dugu Feng grumbled.

Dugu Zhantian softened, but steeled himself back, barking, Listen up and listen good. Dont you send fifth any jade or Ill use martial law on you!

Marshal! They all shouted.

Dugu Zhantian wouldnt have it, He might do it out of respect for our past, but it was I who broke it off. I am not Dugu Zhantian if I stoop to such a low act as using him to save me from this entrapment. You dare notify him and youll be shaming my righteous name, throwing all Ive lived for into the mud. I will have no face to live!

The Four Tigers of Tianyus hearts sank, shaking their heads.

For him to say that, they knew there was no talking to him.

Dugu Zhantian watched their bent backs as they left, filled with sorrow

Big brother, second brother, how are we going to get out alive without fifths help? The four went to a corner where Dugu Huo whispered.

Dugu Lins eyes sharpened, Im sending the jade!

Didnt you hear what G.o.dfather said? His integrity is at stake here. Fifth might come, he might save us, but G.o.dfather Dugu Feng worried.

Dugu Lin said, Brothers, dont you find all of this strange?

Strange? The others asked.

His Majesty sent us after Regent Estate and Luo clan and our travel there had been quiet, but then came his edict to return on the eve of battle.

Isnt it obvious that if the imperial capital is under siege then His Majesty would call for help? Dugu Feng asked.

Thats not the issue, but we all know His Majesty. Would the mind who incited the war between Luo clan and Regent Estate have no fall back? For arguments sake, lets say he doesnt, but anyone knows closer help is faster. Why the rash edict, making both sides unable to achieve anything?

Dugu Lin a.n.a.lyzed at the nods of the others.

Not to mention, our ambush and current situation shows signs of someones design. Dugu Lin sighed, Dugu Army is a seasoned and efficient war machine. Were in this mess, trapped, because His Majesty called us back in haste.

Does that mean the edict is fake? Zhuge Changfeng led us to a trap! Dugu Feng started, Which means the imperial capital fell and His Majestys seal is in Zhuge Changfengs hands.

Breathing out, Dugu Lin shook his head, I am not clear on this. But someone is!

Who?

Luo clans steward, Zhuo Fan! Dugu Lin was firm, Have you forgotten, Zhuo Fan found out about us but still went about his business like usual. We took it for his usual c.o.c.ky self, but in hindsight, it points out what a know-all he is. That our fight was never meant to happen!

What?!

Dugu Feng cried, You mean Zhuo Fan is in on Zhuge Changfeng selling his country? Wont calling out to fifth end up being pointless then? But for Zhuo Fan to end up controlling everything

The others turned heavy.

Dugu Lin shook his head, Perhaps not, when fifth was with us, not just once did he praise his stewards desire to set Luo clan at the top of the food chain. Harsh, but he never demeaned his masters. He even respects them to the end. No, I believe Luo clan had no part in Dugu Armys ambush. Even if they had something to do with it, with fifth around, wed have a way out and then get to ask Zhuo Fan for an explanation.

They all nodded, seeing wisdom in it.

But G.o.dfather Dugu Huo hesitated.

Dugu Lin smiled, G.o.dfathers integrity is important, but I, Crouching Forest Tiger Dugu Lin is scared of death and shall plead fifth for help. I will bear full responsibility.

How can you shoulder it alone? Im a scaredy-cat myself. Dugu Feng chuckled.

Dugu Shan and Dugu Huo shrugged, We four brothers live and die together in the pursuit of our ambition. Since you want to live, so do we!

The four burst out laughing.

Dugu Lin, in the fours name, sent a jade out of the gorge. The flash of green vanished among the clouds, carrying the hopes of all the Dugu Army.

Unaware to them, Dugu Zhantian had been onto them from the start, standing a ways away.

Dugu Zhantian sighed, Foolish children, you have a long way ahead of you. Its best if I take this vilification on myself

He then vanished among the mist

In a hidden room in Windgaze City, Li Jingtian laid on a bed, frail and weakened. Zhuo Fan and Yan Song were watching over him.

Yan Song shook his head after a summary check up, Elder Li is truly heard-headed. He staked his meridians on showing off his tough side. But was it worth dying for?

Ha-ha-ha, you dont get a martial fanatics mind. Zhuo Fan chuckled, Havent you been gus.h.i.+ng blood in the Hundred Pill Meeting over our bet just to beat me? Youre no less stubborn than he is.

Yan Song nodded, Steward Zhuo has a point. Different strokes for different folks. Elder Li is a martial fanatic and Im a pill fanatic. Both willing to stake our all for self-interest. Were on the same path.

He-he-he, I just love you guys character. Dedicated and worthy to groom. Zhuo Fan snickered, showing his admiration.

Back then, I escaped a disaster and now Im a 9th grade alchemist, thanks to Steward Zhuos care. But Elder Li has broken meridians, a cripple. How will his future be? He might even commit suicide when he hears that he cant train. Yan Song sighed, The only way to recover is through Bodhi Root, but that thing has been refined, Just what

Oh, no, no, no!

Zhuo Fan chuckled, Bodhi Root is wordly essence, offering endless vitality but even that cant mend meridians. Bodhi Root would only recover Elder Lis body, leaving him with crippled meridians. He is stuck in this place forever, at the peak Radiant Stage. It will be a crus.h.i.+ng blow for this martial fanatic.

Itd be good enough if he could at least recover. Yan Song shook his head.

Ha-ha-ha, Elder Yan, if its about giving his strength back, Ill just make him a war puppet, with bones as tough as steel and uncanny might. Since Ill help him, I wont stop at just saving him, but will make sure to take him to new heights.

Yan Song smiled, Steward Zhuo has a way?

Of course. Raising an eyebrow, Zhuo Fan said, Or Id have stepped in and stopped his fight. As I had the means to save him, I let him go all out.

Zhuo Fans hand held a vial, Here is the 12th grade ingredient Hundred Leaves Heaven Flowers nectar and the 10th grade ingredient Heavenly Dew. An ingredient to make a 10th grade pill, Heaven Reaching Pill. It mends bones, it mends veins. Even meridians will be as good as new from total destruction. And all will be much stronger in the process. The best pill for any cultivator!

10th grade?! Yan Song gulped, a fire like never before burning in his eyes
