Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 519 Is Protector Yuan a master of witchcraft?

Gu Qingyue sent the group to rescue people not only because she genuinely didn't want everyone to die needlessly, but also because she hoped to cause trouble for the Wizarding Hall.

Many people were rescued from the battle by Gu Yuanen and his group and gathered together, still shaken.

Seeing the relieved looks on everyone's faces, Gu Qingyue was quite curious as to how these people had been gathered here.

Seeing Qin Fang and his group protecting a bunch of people behind them, while Mu Dong and Yue Ling blocked the men in black like killing gods, Gu Qingyue felt a little relieved.

But she always felt something was off.

So, she instantly released her mental energy, wanting to see if there were any suspicious people around.

Unexpectedly, it actually exists.

And there was also an acquaintance, that wizard Qiu, the wizard who was very close to Prince An, and the one who had fought with him for the Tree of Immortality back then.

Standing next to him were two women, one older and one very young.

Gu Qingyue thought the older woman would be the Great Wizard, but unexpectedly, the other woman called her Protector Yuan.

Judging from his appearance, he is one of the high protectors of the Wizarding Temple.

The three of them were standing on a nearby hillside, watching the fight with cold eyes.

"Guardian Yuan, the Grand Wizard said this test must be rigorous, but isn't it... a bit too rigorous?"

The young woman tentatively spoke.

"Why do you say that, Protector Wan? Isn't this just a normal test?"

The woman called Protector Wan's eyes flickered. "My Uncle Qingwei... over there..."

She could tell that several experts from the Wizarding Hall were besieging Wan Qingwei alone. Wasn't this a clear case of differential treatment?

Why are there not so many people around her other uncles and aunts?

Didn't they say that their Hacha ethnic group was a shoo-in for the position of head of the elders' council?

Why did you want to kill Uncle Qingwei?

Wan Hufa is the sixth granddaughter of the Hacha tribe chief. She is intelligent and seventeen years old this year. She has been selected to serve as a junior protector in the Wizard Temple for three years.

In this Heavenly Sacrifice, the Hacha tribe will naturally continue to serve as the head of the Elders' Council.

But what's going on right now...?

A hint of mockery appeared on the somewhat aged face of the Protector Yuan beside him. "Protector Wan is mistaken. If you hold back too obviously, the other tribes will definitely be dissatisfied. How will your Hacha tribe deal with that then?"

After she finished speaking, seeing that Protector Wan had fallen silent, she turned her head and exchanged a glance with Wizard Qiu, a strange smile appearing in her eyes.

The two of them understood each other tacitly.

She and Wizard Qiu were sent by the Grand Wizard specifically to take Wan Qingwei's life. If they didn't kill him in the chaos, they wouldn't be able to answer to the Grand Wizard.

They had been sending people to follow Wan Qingwei and his group. If that good-for-nothing Pan Xiangye hadn't made a mistake, these two old guys wouldn't have needed to take action.

"By the way, I heard that the Holy Maiden was poisoned by the Poison Curse, lost all her power, and is unconscious. Is she feeling any better?" Wizard Qiu asked.

Clearly, the three of them had nothing to say to each other and were just chatting casually.

But Gu Qingyue heard it differently.

Back then in the Valley of Immortals, the witch doctor Qin was acting crazy, saying that the Holy Maiden could no longer break the curse and would never be able to do so again. She thought it was because the two of them had a personal feud and that Qin was the one who cursed the Holy Maiden.

Unexpectedly, it's true?

That poison-dispersing curse was clearly cast by the Qin witch doctor.

How ruthless!

They deserved to have destroyed the saintess.

However, even if she hadn't lost her powers, Gu Qingyue wouldn't have let her go.

"What can be done? The Poison-Dispelling Curse is a unique skill of witch doctors. Qin the witch doctor is too eager to save people, but it is also because the Holy Maiden herself is not up to the task."

She first encountered the Forget-Me-Not Fairy while playing the witch butterfly, and suffered a backlash, resulting in serious injuries.

I also heard that she was poisoned by that silver-masked boy, and that she was lucky to survive.

Yuan the Protector clearly looked down on the Holy Maiden for being injured, poisoned, and losing her powers.

Gu Qingyue: ...So, the Holy Maiden was seriously injured and hid in the Immortal Valley to recuperate because...because of her...Forget-Me-Not Immortal?

She was a little bewildered.

This is so!

"In that case, the Holy Maiden's condition is worrying!" Wizard Qiu said with regret.

"Hmph, let him heal slowly." Protector Yuan smoothed his sleeves, his wrinkles deepening.

"It's a pity that the Holy Maiden possessed sorcery and divination skills."

"However, it's no big deal for Protector Yuan to train a few more disciples with high-level spells," Wizard Qiu said deliberately, looking at Protector Yuan's ambiguous face.

Upon hearing Wizard Qiu's words, Protector Wan's young face immediately lit up with excitement. "Protector Yuan's sorcery is the most superb. We admire you."

Although he is not much different from the Holy Maiden, Yuan Protector is obviously a step behind in terms of age.

"You guys know how to talk. Keep a close eye on things, or something might go wrong."

Protector Yuan's voice was indifferent, but he had heard the compliments after all, and his eyes and brows betrayed his barely suppressed smugness.

Gu Qingyue was so happy she almost laughed out loud. It came to her without any effort at all!

In other words, this old lady, or rather, the Yuan Protector, is a master of witchcraft?

Very well, the task of lifting the curse on Gu Changling falls to her.

"lady".

Gu Qingyue stood outside the battle circle, holding a triangular military dagger, listening intently to the conversation of the three people in the distance. Suddenly, Mu Yun Chu's voice came from outside.

Gu Qingyue immediately snapped out of her daze.

Upon closer inspection, she saw that Mu Yun Chu was actually carrying Wan Qing Wei in her hand. The man was seriously injured and was clearly somewhat delirious.

Behind them were several middle-aged people dressed in Hacha ethnic clothing.

Clearly, these were clansmen who had previously acted separately from Wan Qingwei and his group, but now they had gathered together.

After Gu Qingyue quickly treated Wan Qingwei's three more serious wounds and listened to Mu Yun Chu's brief explanation of the situation, Gu Qingyue understood.

These people were lured here; before this, they had been besieged many times.

In contrast, there were fewer people from the Wizarding Temple on the route that Gu Qingyue and her group took.

It seems Gu Qingyue is being narrow-minded. The Wizarding Hall must have mobilized at least five hundred people this time, which is about the same as the number of people participating in this treasure hunt.

Looking at the men in black still attacking in the distance, Gu Qingyue looked at Mu Yun Chu.

With a question in his eyes: Are you leaving or not? Are you still going to save them?

"Save them first!" Mu Yun Chu said.

At the very least, the few Tiger Warriors we rescued earlier still need to be rescued.

They are now surrounded by a large number of people dressed in black, and they are about to be overwhelmed.

These are all Yue Zhiqi's cousins. Since they have already helped him before, they will naturally continue to do so now.

Gu Qingyue also agreed with Mu Yun Chu's idea.

When Mu Dong and the others surrounded the people they had rescued earlier, and everyone gathered together, Gu Qingyue was about to ask Yue Ling to go with her to rescue people when she suddenly heard a series of urgent whistles.

In just a moment, the men in black dispersed like the tide, leaving behind people who were either terrified, exhausted, or at a loss.

Thump! Thump! As soon as the man in black left, many people lay down on the ground.

tired!
