Chapter 400: Chapter 193: Win Glory, Bear Glory

A bald man with a tattoo near the corner of his eye demanded loudly.

"South Mountain is the border. You are all warriors of the Batu Tribe who have fought for Prince Andre. You know the consequences of crossing South Mountain."

Batu Lu reminded them.

"The people of Great Yuan crossed South Mountain and killed our chief. Why can’t we cross it and slaughter every last one of them?"

Someone challenged.

"Revenge must be taken. If the chief’s death is related to the Great Yuan Court, Prince Andre will surely see that justice is done for us."

Batu Lu said.

"I can’t accept this."

The bald man was burning with rage.

"Then look up again."

Batu Lu prompted.

The bald man and the others looked up and saw six or seven Iron Wolf Eagles in the sky above South Mountain, all from Great Yuan.

Several of them were adult Iron Wolf Eagles, and there was even an old man sitting atop one.

The Three-headed Iron Wolf Eagle on their side was so frightened it had already flown away behind the forest.

"Take everyone’s bodies back and present them to Prince Andre. Let him be the judge."

Batu Lu ordered.

"Yes!"

The bald man had lost all his bluster.

The group realized that even if they crossed South Mountain, they wouldn’t gain any advantage. The old man riding the Iron Wolf Eagle was Mr. Du’s chief Honored Guest Minister. Not only was his Archery superb, but his power had also reached the True Martial Realm. He rarely took action, but when he did, there would inevitably be massive casualties.

No one wanted to march to their deaths against a True Martial Realm Beast Tamer who could command Iron Wolf Eagles to circle overhead and was a master of Archery.

"Zhuo, who is that?"

Chu Lingguang had also seen the old man.

It was the first time he had ever seen a Beast Tamer, let alone one riding an Iron Wolf Eagle.

"That’s Elder Liu, the chief Honored Guest Minister of the Du’s Mansion. He rarely appears; I’ve only seen him a few times myself."

Zhuoyi explained.

"Oh."

Chu Lingguang was curious. ’The old man is so mysterious,’ he thought. ’Perhaps the reason the Three-headed Iron Wolf Eagle from the Turkic side didn’t dare to act recklessly before was because it was intimidated by his aura.’

"We’ve troubled you, Elder Liu."

After speaking, Mo Shan slowly drifted off to sleep.

They were all grievously injured and couldn’t walk, so they were draped over the backs of their horses, being led along.

By nightfall, the group had finally left the Hundred Thousand Mountains and returned to Du’s Mansion.

"Master."

Chu Lingguang saw Guo Wei together with Mr. Du.

Guo Wei’s presence was magnificent, and his complexion was ruddy. It seemed his internal injury had completely healed.

Beside Mr. Du sat a pale-faced man in a wheelchair, attended to by a maidservant.

"Master, you..."

Chu Lingguang’s power had grown, and his Spiritual Sense was sharper, so he asked with confusion.

"I have fully recovered. Let me see, you’re not hurt, are you?"

When Guo Wei learned that Chu Lingguang and the others were in danger in the mountains, he had wanted to go rescue them personally. However, Mr. Du stopped him, sending Elder Liu to lead the Iron Wolf Eagles instead and having his own disciples follow Zhuoyi into the mountains. That was why Guo Wei had remained at Du’s Mansion, anxiously awaiting news.

Fortunately, Chu Lingguang had returned safely.

The master and disciple both noticed the change in each other.

Chu Lingguang sensed that Guo Wei’s aura had recovered, his complexion was ruddy, and his internal injury was healed. It seemed Mr. Du had fulfilled his promise and given Guo Wei a cup of the Spiritual Monkey Essence Blood to drink.

Meanwhile, Guo Wei also sensed that Chu Lingguang’s strength had increased, reaching the Great Success stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

"Mr. Du, Mo Shan and the other three have been properly treated and are no longer in mortal danger."

Zhuoyi reported.

"Good, that’s wonderful."

Mr. Du was overjoyed and personally inspected the four men’s injuries.

Their wounds were all bandaged and treated with high-grade Golden Wound Medicine. Although they still had difficulty moving, their complexions were much better than before.

"My lord."

The four men tried to stand and bow.

Mr. Du gestured for them to remain seated and brought them four bowls of crimson Spirit Tea, which they all drank.

Chu Lingguang, who was standing to the side, also received a bowl.

Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Lingguang drank it down. He felt a warm current spread through his body; it not only had the effect of enhancing his Qi Blood but also helped repair internal injuries.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to the Spiritual Monkey Essence Blood.

"My lord, it was Chu Lingguang who found the Spiritual Monkey, and it was also Chu Lingguang who saved our lives."

Mo Shan took the initiative to speak after finishing his Spirit Tea.

"If it weren’t for him, not only would we have failed to find the Spiritual Monkey, but we would have lost our lives at the foot of South Mountain."

Mo Shuang sighed with emotion.

"He not only saved us, he also killed Batu Mu."

Demon Mark added.

"He clearly could have escaped, but he risked his life to come back and save us. We can never repay such a debt of loyalty."

Mo Lei said sincerely.

"Chu Lingguang, you not only allowed my son to see the light of day again, but you also saved the lives of these four brothers of mine. From this day forward, you no longer owe the Du Family any Favors. On the contrary, it is the Du Family that is in your debt. I will use all my power to help you stand before Yan Zhen. Regardless of your results in the Provincial Examination, your glory will belong to you and you alone."

Mr. Du said with a solemn expression.

"Mr. Du, I will never forget the grace you’ve shown in recognizing my worth."

Chu Lingguang said, kneeling on one knee.

A line of text appeared before his eyes.

(Repaid the favor to Mr. Du, received 10,682 Favor Points.)

"Get up, quickly."

Mr. Du hurriedly helped Chu Lingguang up. He had never expected that Chu Lingguang could bestow such a great favor upon the Du Family.

"Chu Lingguang, we can never repay you for saving our lives. In the future, if you ever need us, we four brothers will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire for you. We’ll be there at a moment’s notice."

Mo Shan promised.

"Through mountains of blades and seas of fire, we’ll be there at a moment’s notice."

Mo Shuang, Mo Lei, and Demon Mark echoed in unison.

"Elders, you speak too seriously. If you hadn’t bought time for me, I wouldn’t have been able to deliver the Spiritual Monkey to Mr. Du, and my master’s injuries wouldn’t have healed so quickly."

Chu Lingguang said with his hands clasped, feeling humbled by the four Mo brothers’ bond of life and death.
