C9 Saussurea Medusa

"What?" You want to rob the tribute? Are you crazy, is a real Great Tang Empire made out of mud? " Fairy Qing Yun nearly sat down in fright after hearing Ji Yunkong's plan. Saussurea Medusa. Indeed, everyone knew that there was one Saussurea Medusa among the offerings the Fanbang had made to the Tang Emperor. It was a priceless treasure. However, no one dared to have any ideas about this Saussurea Medusa.

Firstly, because Fanbang had sent three thousand guards, these three thousand people were considered elite soldiers of Fanbang, known as "flying wolves". Although they did not have many people, they were all brave enough to fight and any one of them being able to find a random person would make them into a second or third rate expert. Of course, just relying on these three thousand "Flying Wolf Army" was not enough to protect the safety of Saussurea Medusa. In order to be absolutely safe, Fanbang had even sent their teacher, "Vulture Monk" Ho Tulu over.

"Vulture" Ho Tulu, "Baixiong" ranked the 28th strong warrior, only one place behind King Tang. However, no matter if it was a fight to the death, or a fight to the death, accidents would happen at any time. Although the two were ranked in the first place, when they fought, the outcome was only fifty percent of them won.

Ho Tulu was also a legendary character. He was originally from the Central Plains, and he was also from the outside world. Later on, he was chased by his enemies and forced to wander outside. Over the past ten years, he had encountered some fortuitous encounters and mastered a set of powerful martial arts. After returning, he exterminated all of his enemies and fled to the other side of the barrier, where he obtained the appreciation of the Fanbang's Khan and became a teacher.

Along the way, whenever they passed by a checkpoint or city, Tang officials would send elite guards to escort them. Especially when they were passing by the city, the entire city had been under martial law the day before the convoy arrived. Only after the convoy had safely left did they open the city gates. During this time, not even a single fly was allowed to enter. Even so, the people still felt that it was not safe. The Tang Emperor had long ordered Bai Zhanhou to lead ten thousand men to escort them. From the moment they entered the Tang Dynasty's territory until the moment the Saussurea Medusa was sent to the palace, they didn't move a step away.

Bai Zhanhou was also an expert ranked above 'Bai Xiong'. He was ranked 63rd and his strength could not be underestimated. From this, it could be seen that Fanbang and the Great Tang had placed great importance on this Saussurea Medusa. That was no wonder. That was the Saussurea Medusa that could bring the dead back to life. Usually, the legendary medicines that only existed in legends had finally appeared in front of the eyes of the people. The reason the Fanbang had offered such a precious treasure was also because they had come with a purpose. They wanted to ask Tang Dynasty to marry their little sister, Sky Dream Palace Lord, into Fanbang.

With Ji Yunkong's current martial arts skills, he could at most contend against Bai Zhanhou. As for seizing the Saussurea Medusa s from the "Vulture" Ho Tulu and the three thousand "Flying Wolf Army", it was no different from a fantasy story.

Therefore, when Duanmu Zhixiu heard the idea, she advised, "Brother Yun Kong, this fact is too dangerous. It is a situation where there is no chance of survival. "Let's give up. There's no need to take such a risk for me. Moreover, I still have a few more years to live, so there might be other heavenly resources appearing."

Of course Ji Yunkong would not give up. Saussurea Medusa, Myriad Spirit Ganoderma, these kinds of rare treasures were not common. Even hundreds of years might not happen, much less a few years. Ji Yunkong remembered that the last time the 10,000 Year Old Ganoderma appeared was over 200 years ago. If such a treasure was so easily obtainable, then back then the Tang Emperor wouldn't have to lower himself to beg for ghost women.

"Don't worry, this young master will naturally not be foolish enough to fight head on with that baldy. I naturally have a way to steal the Saussurea Medusa." Ji Yunkong laughed.

"Duanmu Zhixiu didn't try to persuade him anymore. She just started packing up her things and picked up all the common medicine, acupuncture needles, and medical books." "Since Brother Yun Kong is insistent, I can only accompany him. Otherwise, I really can't be at ease and you can go alone."

Ji Yunkong frowned. He thought for a while but did not say anything. He knew Duanmu Zhixiu's personality. Although she seemed weak, she was actually stronger than anyone else. When ordinary people found out that he wouldn't live past 20 years of age, they would have probably broken down mentally long ago. However, this weak girl had somehow survived and even comforted them not to worry about her. Once she made a decision, no matter how others tried to persuade her, it would be useless. Rather than wasting his breath, he might as well consider how to protect her. Ji Yunkong lowered his head and pondered. It seems like his original plan needs to change.

"Wait a minute," Fairy Qing Yun suddenly stood up. "I admire your courage, and I understand that you have your own things to do. But, forgive me for my bluntness, but facing three thousand 'Flying Wolf Army', Vulture and Bai Zhanhou at the same time, with such a lineup, other than the top ten experts, it's impossible for the rest to escape unscathed. I'm sorry, but there are still things I must do. I have to trouble Miss Duanmu to help me get rid of the cold poison, I am willing to pay any price. "

Ji Yunkong chuckled. "What if our request is to have you accompany us to steal Saussurea Medusa?"

"If that's the case, then I can only apologize. I will not be able to risk my life with all of you." Fairy Qing Yun's words were resolute and decisive, without holding back at all.

Both Ji Yunkong and Duanmu Zhixiu did not say anything. Handan's choice was understandable, as Ji Yunkong was the one who had kidnapped them. She did not even know if they were friends or enemies. Naturally, she could not risk her life for the sake of the two people they had only met.

Ji Yunkong chuckled, "I have an idea. Sister Duanmu, what do you think?" You don't need to go, just let Fairy Handan supervise on your behalf. "Handan, you don't need to do anything this time. Regardless of success or failure, as long as you can bring my life back to Sister Duanmu, I'll let her treat your illness. How about it?"

Fairy Qing Yun thought about it again and again, and felt that if she was only in charge of supervising it, there wouldn't be any danger to her life. After all, she was not a weak girl who was powerless. What the Moon Palace was captivated by the people of the world was not only their graceful dances. Every step she took contained an unparalleled killing intent.

Duanmu Zhixiu also nodded in agreement. After all, she knew that her physical condition was not suitable for a long journey. Having an older sister to help supervise Ji Yunkong was better than having no companion.

"Alright, that's settled then. However, I have another request. I'll be watching over you from the shadows. I won't go with you." Fairy Qing Yun was forced to do so as well. The world was dangerous and people's hearts were hard to predict. If she traveled together with Ji Yunkong, perhaps she would become his sacrifice in that critical moment. Fairy Qing Yun had seen this kind of thing countless times over the years. Duanmu Zhixiu, who had been left here, only wanted a result. This way, she would be able to hide in the dark.

"Alright!" Ji Yunkong agreed. If they wanted to live in this world, they had to be wary of others. Fairy Qing Yun's behavior was not because she didn't trust them, but rather, she was very cautious.
