The kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and the danger is imminent.
Two days later, Shujia Island, surrounded by forest.
"Master Chu Yun, spare my life! I'm just a lowly person who follows orders, I had no choice! If Master spares me, I'll be willing to testify against Madame Shu, testify that she plotted to murder you, Master!"
A black-robed exorcist knelt down in front of Chu Yun, his body trembling like a sieve, shaking with fear.
Chu Yun's face was expressionless, his hand rose and fell with the knife, amidst the splashing of fresh blood, a perfectly good head rolled to the ground and rolled into the grass.
"The last exorcist has been eliminated, and it's safe for the time being. *sigh*... " Chu Yun let out a long, coarse breath, and could no longer support himself, almost collapsing as he sat down on the ground with a thud.
The celestial fox whimpered softly beside him, a look of concern flowing from her fox eyes.
Chu Yun stretched out his hand and comforted it. Indeed, nothing serious happened, although it looked miserable, but actually it was just a loss of strength.
Fortunately, he had a keen eye and discovered the enemy's trail in time. The other four were none other than the four demon-suppressing masters who stood by Lady Shu's side.
For the past two days, Chu Yun has been surrounding the Wild Bear, Golden Honey, and four demon-controlling masters in a battle of wits and bravery. In the end, she took advantage of their underestimation and greed, successfully using her weakness to defeat them, either by borrowing someone else's hand or launching a sneak attack, one by one defeating the four strong enemies.
Jin Ling didn't get any, but the four demon-suppressing masters had a rich harvest. Four immortal bags, not to mention the Demon Yuan Dan and Blood Energy Dan, just the Earth Reaper Stone Coins they collected on the spot were over 1,800.
"Mrs. Shu, you actually want to kill me? I underestimated your viciousness......" After a brief rest, Chu Yun and Tian Hu left the forest enclosure decisively.
Compared to the edge of the forest, the danger inside is much higher. It's not a place that the current Tian Hu can venture into.
Returning to the nameless volcano's cave, he discovered signs of outsiders having been there. Chu Yun let out a silent sigh, knowing that this secret base had already been exposed and was no longer valuable to him.
However, it is still safe for a short time.
The four demon masters beside Mrs. Shu, who were brought from the Ning family, listened to her words and were also the strongest forces around her. However, now they have been eliminated by themselves. In a short period of time, Mrs. Shu is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, no longer posing a great threat.
"Mrs. Shu, since you want to murder me, I won't let you off easy either!" From this incident on, Chu Yun thoroughly understood the true nature of Mrs. Shu.
However, wanting to deal with her, Chu Yun knew that his current strength was still not enough.
The most crucial thing is her identity, Mrs. Shu - the wife of her adoptive father, Shu Tianhao.
"If I were to kill Lady Shu, what would happen with Father?" Chu Yun furrowed her brow, her eyes drifting aimlessly as if she had suddenly returned to over a decade ago.
At that time, he was still young and couldn't remember many things. But this matter left a deep impression on him, which has been etched in his memory forever.
It seems like I'm stranded on a desolate island where nothing grows, with only Old Man Shu Tianhao by my side.
He wailed with hunger, having gone several days and nights without eating anything.
Shu Tianhao also looked exhausted and helpless, no matter how he comforted her, he couldn't stop Chu Yun's wailing.
At last his pale lips moved a few times, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and drew out the big knife.
A flash of knife light, a chill suddenly rose, Chu Yun was frightened and her crying voice stopped.
Then, a blood color rapidly spread in his field of vision, Shu Tianhao's left arm fell off!
……
In the many years that followed, Chu Yun often dreamed of such scenes. The scene was vivid in her mind, as if it had happened just yesterday.
Shu Tianhao might have thought that Chu Yun was too young at the time and had already forgotten. He attributed the matter of his left arm to an accident. As for what kind of accident, he never said much about it.
Foreigners also sighed that after Shu Tianhao cut off his arm, he no longer had the ambition and grandeur of his former self, and was no longer the mighty tiger among the stars.
Even San Lao and Madame Shu don't know the truth!
Shu Tianhao's left arm was broken because of Chu Yun.
Cut off his left arm and use it as food!
It was by relying on his left arm that Chu Yun managed to struggle out of desperation and stay alive.
What a great kindness! Although Shu Tianhao is not Chu Yun's biological father, he treats him with the same kindness as his own son. For Chu Yun, this man gave up his future dignity and abandoned his lifelong ambition...
What kindness!
Now he has abandoned his left arm and saved his adopted son, but is going to deal with his wife... Chu Yun felt embarrassed and distressed in her heart.
He killed decisively, whoever was an enemy would certainly be the direction of his sword, never showing mercy to women. However, Madame Shu was her own adoptive father's wife...
Chu Yun hesitated and his heart's butcher knife was also trembling, feeling tricky.
He finally cast aside his complicated thoughts, calmed down and said to himself: "No matter what, Mrs. Shu's attempt to stop my plan will end in vain. I will win the first prize of the Coming-of-Age ceremony and enter Tian Ge Academy! Tomorrow's third assessment, with my appearance, will surely make her extremely shocked and terrified? Hmph! Let's see...
The next day, in the midst of the earth altar.
"Where's that little Chu Yun? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" The Earth Altar's Royal Demon Master was getting anxious, as the third trial was about to begin. If he were late, he would be disqualified from the trial. And at that point, his scores from the previous two trials would also become invalid.
"He will never come again." Mrs. Shu sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to lament and said, "Alas, this child is indeed arrogant by nature. Not only did he cripple his own brother, but now that he knows White Eyebrow Dan Shifu is personally attending the ceremony, he still dares to behave like this, it's really too presumptuous."
After finishing speaking, she showed a flattering smile and looked at a tall and thin middle-aged man beside her.
The man wore a long gown of dark blue, his face stern and his eyebrows as white as snow. He was from the Tian Ge Academy, come to recruit young men recommended by the Shu Family Island.
Famous throughout the Star Group Islands for his mastery of alchemy, known as the White Eyebrow Alchemist.
The Earth Altar's Royal Sorcerer also looked at Bai Mei Dan Sheng with a respectful gaze, but coldly snorted: "Madam Shu has spoken too much. Chu Yun is a young and clever child who understands etiquette, has strategy and bravery, and has a calm temperament. This time he was late, there must be some major changes, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Mrs. Shu's face suddenly turned cold upon hearing this, and she was just about to retort when Bai Mei Dan Shi spoke up.
"Enough. This is a sacred place, do not make noise. Your grudges, I have no interest in them. My task is to select the most excellent potential seeds from the coming-of-age ceremony. If Chu Yun still hasn't arrived after a moment, then he will be considered absent. The coming-of-age ceremony will proceed as usual." Bai Mei Dan Shi's tone was cold and somewhat aloof.
The Di Tuan didn't say anything, but a hint of joy flashed in Madame Shu's eyes.
As for Shu Da and Shu Er, they were young and ignorant, with shallow cultivation, unable to conceal the joy that flashed across their faces.
You, Chu Yun, even if you got first place in the first two assessments, what's the big deal? If you can't participate in the third assessment, what other chance do you have?
Just then, there came a hurried footsteps.
Shu Da and Shu Er's faces stiffened. Especially Shu Er, who had been beaten badly, his whole body wrapped in white bandages. The sound of footsteps at this moment was like trampling on his wounds, making him unable to bear a painful hum.
"How could this be? It can't be!" Mrs. Shu's heart was shaken, and she looked towards the door with a gloomy and uncertain expression.
The footsteps got closer and closer, the gate was pushed open with a loud bang.
Bai Mei's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought that his impression of Chu Yun was already not much, and now it had decreased by a few more points.
However, the newcomer was not Chu Yun.
"General Wu, how did you end up here?" Madame Shu exclaimed in surprise as she saw the arrival.
"Milady, something terrible has happened! The island master has encountered the残狼 pirate gang and was ambushed. He is now in a desperate battle, his life hanging by a thread! I beg of you, milady, to take charge and gather the troops to go rescue him immediately! If we delay, it will be too late!"
Wu Da Tou was now covered in sweat all over his body, with a look of extreme anxiety and urgency on his face.
As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, causing the expressions of all present to change drastically.
"How could this be, Island Master..." The Earthly Yuan Immortal was shocked into a daze.
"Father he......" Shu Da and Shu Er were completely panicked, looking at each other in dismay, their six senses gone.
Bai Mei's face also changed slightly, furrowing his brow and his eyes becoming serious. If the Island Master of Shu Jia Island were to fall in battle, the entire situation of the Zhuxing Archipelago would likely be thrown into turmoil...
"Shu Tianhao, Shu Tianhao..." Shu's husband muttered to himself, his face as white as snow. Upon hearing this news, he involuntarily stumbled backward several steps, his mind buzzing with a blank slate.
"Shu Tianhao... Shu Tianhao... Ha! You've got your comeuppance today!" After reacting, Mrs. Shu suddenly shouted in her heart, filled with schadenfreude and pleasure.
"You've been suppressing me for so many years, oppressing me for so many years! In the end, I'm still going to die at the hands of pirates. Ha, how ironic. Aren't you the Star Tiger? What a crappy tiger!"
Madam Shu laughed heartily in her heart, filled with the joy of revenge and satisfaction. She had no feelings for Shu Tianhao, never loyal to her own husband, only loyal to her own family.
"Wait! With Shu Tianhao dead, wouldn't the power of Shu Island fall into my hands? What would I have to worry about then? I can crush Chu Yun as I please, and open up as many shops on Shu Island as I want!"
Mrs. Shu's mind was racing, her eyes gleaming with calculation as she began to take stock of everything on the island.
"Madam! The military situation is extremely urgent now!" Seeing Madame Shu remaining silent, Wu Da Tou hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead and loudly urged her.
Mrs. Shu's whole body shook and she came to her senses. She immediately ordered: "General Wu, quickly gather the defending troops!"
"Yes, madam!" Wu's eyes gleamed with excitement, his face flushed with emotion. But Madame Shu's next words were like a basin of cold water poured over the flames in his heart.
"From this moment on, strictly defend Shu's Castle. If the remnants of the Wolf Pirates launch a full-scale attack on Shu's Island, it will be a disaster for humanity!"
"Milady!" Wu Da's head suddenly lifted up, his eyes wide with incredulity at the command he had just heard.
"Madam Shu, don't show any weakness! How dare you defy my orders?! Do you know who the other side is? Those are the ruthless Sea Wolves Pirates! The pirate leader has the powerful demon fire wolf, what can your martial arts crab do to resist?! Humph, I'm ordering you now, hold out in Shu Family Castle. From this moment on, send a letter to Ning Family Island, as soon as reinforcements arrive, if Shu Family Island is safe, it will be your first achievement!"
"Madam......" Wu Da Tou's imposing manner suddenly deflated, and he was left speechless.
Indeed, the Pirate Wolf has a large number of demonic beasts, the Beacon Fire Wolf Beast. Its combat power is extremely strong, and it's not something that a small demon-level Wudao Crab can withstand.
But defending Shu's family castle, isn't it just watching him die without saving him, letting Island Master Shu Tianhao die on the battlefield?
Wu Da Tou's heart couldn't accept it. He recalled the scene of the big fire, where Island Master Shu Tian Hao held a knife like a mountain and rescued him from the flames.
Clear as if it happened yesterday.
