Chapter 557: Such a Young Innate?_1
The Medicine Saint’s expression changed; he turned with a grave look and glanced at Elder Liu, offering a wry smile.
He knew that since his whereabouts had been exposed, the people who came to find him would certainly include an Innate Grandmaster. If Fu Ling’er hadn’t come, the Medicine Saint could still have used poison to escape.
But now, he couldn’t do that!
With this thought, the Medicine Saint stepped out of the courtyard, stood at the gate, and looked bitterly at the large rock by the river: "Ling’er, you really are disobedient, aren’t you? Come out now; no need to hide! And the friend Ling’er has brought, please step forward!"
Behind the boulder, Jiang Chen and the two others exchanged glances. Qiu Boyuan gestured with his hands, signaling to Jiang Chen not to go out. Since both the Medicine Saint and Elder Liu mentioned that Fu Ling’er brought only one person and since Elder Liu had pointed out the realm of a Great Grandmaster, he must have been referring to Qiu Boyuan. The idea was for Jiang Chen to stay hidden here, to serve as an unexpected weapon.
"Would I resort to such sneaky tactics, Chairman Qiu?" Jiang Chen spoke up.
As he spoke, Jiang Chen adjusted the grip on his Blood Saber and stepped out from behind the boulder. Qiu Boyuan’s eyes flashed with approval, and he turned his head, signaling Fu Ling’er to go first, following closely behind her.
When the Medicine Saint and Elder Liu saw three people emerge from behind the boulder, they were both taken aback, staring in surprise at Jiang Chen and his party.
"The Saint Blade?! You’re Jiang Chen?!"
A cry of astonishment rang out as Li Wujiang recognized the Blood Saber in Jiang Chen’s hand, his face lighting up with elation: "Haha! Hahaha... Heaven helps me! Heaven helps me! I was thinking, after taking away Medicine Saint with me, to see if I had a chance to go to Dingjing to retrieve the Saint Blade, but little did I expect, before I even went searching for it, you delivered yourself to my doorstep!"
Taking a step forward, Li Wujiang bellowed: "Jiang Chen, hand over the Saint Blade and sever your Achilles tendons, and this young master may spare your life!"
"Hand over the Saint Blade!"
