Chapter Thirty-Four Intermission

  The guards in the distance also reacted at this time, seeing that there was no longer any fierce sword energy shooting over, and they quickly ran over to search. Fortunately, the ceramic bottle in the assassin leader's hand was not broken, what a good luck, so they quickly took it to Wu Zongyue who was forcing the poison out, wanting to detoxify their master.

  "No need." Wu Zongyue spoke up to stop them, then let the guards retreat. He opened his mouth and a faint red mist shot out from inside, dissipating slowly at a distance of two zhang. Wu Zongyue slowly retracted his energy, took the antidote from the guard's hand, removed the cork, and sniffed it before letting the guards administer it to the poisoned person.

  After a while, the poisoned guards were all rescued, but they couldn't recover immediately and needed careful care for a period of time. Wu Zongyue ordered people to collect the bodies of the dead guards and prepare to hold a funeral for them tomorrow to mourn their deaths.

  "This time, all brothers who participated in this action will receive a subsidy of 10,000 taels. Brothers who were injured will be doubled, and those who were seriously injured will be tripled. Unfortunately, for every brother who died, we will send 100,000 taels of silver to their families, and they will also receive the protection of the Wu family from now on. For anyone who has been bullied or harmed, my Wu family will definitely help them get justice! Please ask all brothers to supervise, I, Wu Zongyue, say what I mean!"

  ……

  Back in the small courtyard, Wu Ye Yu put away the firearms in the storage space. Originally, he wanted to directly enter the passage from Lan Hua's place, but after a moment of hesitation, he thought that the task was not over yet. In order to prevent the enemy from discovering any clues, Wu Ye Yu simply crawled out of the Wu family home. Finally, he arrived at a small forest outside the city and found a large tree with a trunk as thick as three people embracing it. The roots were complex, and Wu Ye Yu created another passage in the hole under the roots, which was very secretive. If one didn't intentionally search for it, it would be impossible to discover.

  At the entrance of the cave, Wu Yeru made some camouflage, while checking the task map, he dug a hole and easily connected it with the previously excavated passage. Then, he sealed the other passage leading to Wu's house directly with a printer. Following the marks he had made earlier, Wu Yeru quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave where Wen Xiyue was hiding, patted the dust off his body, and walked in.

  "Ah! Brother Ye Yu is back!" Wen Xueyue, who was sitting on the blanket with her legs crossed and her knees hugged, heard a sound, looked up to see Wu Ye Yu, and suddenly jumped up, rushing into Wu Ye Yu's arms.

  "What's wrong, you've started missing me after such a short time?" Wu Ye Yu said softly in her ear as he hugged the little loli.

  "Uh-huh! I was worried to death, Brother Night Rain, you don't know, I was so anxious about you. You're not much older than me, yet you say you want to protect me and even go kill assassins. It's been such a long time since you left, I almost wanted to go look for you." Xue Yue buried her head in Wu Ye Yu's chest and said.

  "Hehe, don't worry, your Night Rain brother isn't so easily killed. Just a few assassins. It's already been taken care of, and for now, it should be safe." Wu Ye Yu said, pulling Wen Xue Yue to sit on the blanket.

  "Is everything settled? Can we go out now? Brother Night Rain, you don't know, I was so scared when I was alone here. It's so quiet in here, and you weren't around, I'm afraid." Wen Xiyue said, leaning on Wu Yeru's leg.

  "If you want to go out, it's probably not possible yet. For now, we're only temporarily safe. Those assassins may send more people at any time, and the Wu family doesn't have a powerful expert who can take action right now. In that last wave of assassins, there was someone who could fight evenly with the master of the Wu family. That person used every trick in the book to achieve their goal, even using poison. If I hadn't intervened in time this time, the people upstairs might not have made it." Gently stroking Wen Xiyue's hair, comforting the little loli, Wu Yeru spoke out his concerns.

  Wen Xiyue looked up at Wu Yeyu with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother Yeyu, your cultivation realm seems to be not as good as mine, so how did you manage to defeat those assassins?"

  "Hehehe, this is a secret of mine, do you really want to hear it? But there's a condition." Wu Yeyu turned his head and looked at Wen Xueyue, his eyes filled with amusement.

  "Uh-huh! I'll listen! And I agree to the conditions, brother!" Wen Xueyue said seriously without any hesitation, not even considering what the conditions were.

  "Alright, since you've agreed, there's no backing out now." Wu Ye Yu flipped his hand and the laser assault rifle appeared in it. The black, angular body of the gun shone brightly under the light, full of a mesmerizing charm that would have captivated many military enthusiasts in his past life. However, Wen Xue Yue's attention was not on this at the moment.

  "Night Rain brother, how did this thing just appear? Do you have the legendary spatial equipment!?" Wen Xueyue stared at Wu Yeyu and said in a daze.

  "Huh?" Wu Ye Yu was taken aback for a moment, then reacted quickly, "Yes, I accidentally discovered this when I was playing outside the city before. Later, it opened unexpectedly and there were these things inside. However, I don't know where this thing came from, it's just very convenient to use." After finishing speaking, Wu Ye Yu secretly apologized in his heart, thinking that he would never tell anyone about the system, not even when he grew old and took it to his grave.

  "Wow! Brother, you can actually pick up a space artifact! Your luck is really good, this is a space artifact! It's extremely rare, even in my family, only my grandfather has one. Hmm, as for its origin, I do know some things, it was told to me by my grandfather!" Wen Xueyue paused for a moment, looked at Wu Yeyu and continued.

  Legend has it that on the mainland, there is a tribe born with spatial talent, skilled in long-distance transmission and various spatial magic. However, their physical body is extremely fragile, even weaker than ours. They are called the Void Tribe. These Void Tribes not only excel at spatial magic but also excel at crafting objects. Over time, these two talents were cleverly combined by the Void Tribe's geniuses to create space equipment that only they could make. As soon as this equipment appeared, it attracted the attention of various tribes on the mainland because its effects were too great, and the potential for profit was extraordinary. Whether it was finished space equipment or manufacturing technology, powerful tribes wanted to possess them, so they began to hunt down the Void Tribe, intending to obtain these things. Later, only a few strong tribes got some space equipment, but the method of making space equipment never came out. At that time, the Void Tribe had already been slaughtered, and the remaining tribe members had all disappeared.

  "It's been thousands of years since the Void Clan disappeared, and although there are still occasional rumors about them, very few people have actually seen them, and most of those stories are just hearsay. As a result, no new spatial artifacts have been created. Now, on the mainland, aside from the spatial artifacts owned by powerful individuals, only a dozen or so are circulating in the markets, each one priceless regardless of its size, causing many disputes and conflicts, even leading to wars between some smaller clans."

  Xue Yue placed the horizontal hold on her lap, smiled slightly, while Little Luo Li stuck out her tongue at Wu Ye Yu. When she found Wu Ye Yu staring at her, her face suddenly turned red, and she looked away.

  "With great benefits but no power to protect those interests, it's no wonder they were attacked by other tribes. These empty words people are wrong in that they shouldn't have revealed the information prematurely before having the actual power, it's a lesson." Wu Yeyu said.

  "In my clan's region, in the past decade or so, there has been a rumor circulating about a space device, seemingly a space ring. It was said to have originally belonged to the head of the Dan Tai family, but due to various reasons, the Dan Tai family was forcibly exterminated, and its members were either exiled or sent to the military. The space device eventually fell into the hands of a powerful force." Wen Xueyue's face showed some discontent as she spoke, "It's said that at the time, our Wen family had a very good relationship with the Dan Tai family. Our ancestors even intermarried and formed an alliance on the same front line. If it weren't for the fact that our Wen family was also implicated in some matters and couldn't take action at the time, we might have obtained that space device."

  "What happened to the people of the Dantai family later on, hmm, I'm talking about after they were exiled and sent to the military?" Wu Yeyu asked casually.

  "Hmm, if the men were conscripted, they should be fighting on the front lines. As for the women, they should have been scattered to all corners of Dashan. I don't know the specifics, though - Grandfather rarely talks about these things with me. What's this, Brother Yeyu? Are you interested in this?" Wen Xiyue asked, somewhat puzzled.

  Wu Ye furrowed his brow for a moment, then looked down at the little loli on his leg and said, "Remember I just said that you have to agree to one condition before I tell you how to defeat those assassins?"

  "Hmm, I knew it. So, Night Rain brother, what conditions will you propose? I didn't even ask and already agreed." Wen Xueyue's face turned slightly red as she said this.

  "If you go too far, others won't follow suit."

  "Oh? That's not going to work, you've already agreed with me, so no matter what I ask for, you have to agree. Are you going back on your word?" Wu Yeyu said, licking the corner of his mouth.

  "We'll see about that, brother! I'm not so easily deceived! Hmph!" Wen Xiyue said with a tilt of her small face.

  "I'd rather not say anything then." Turning her small face, which was slightly tilted to one side, Wu Ye Yu said, "In that case, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"
