Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 373 Bounty Order

Upon hearing this, the group finally understood why Wang Xiaoman was being hunted down by four ordinary scions of prominent families.

Lu Yang continued the conversation, asking, "How did you get into a conflict with Long Jingyun?"

Wang Xiaoman said angrily, "I don't know who leaked the news that I possess the Phoenix Spirit Grass. Several young masters and noblemen from the capital, including Long Jingyun, are looking for me. When Long Jingyun met me, he asked me to take him to find the Phoenix Spirit Grass. When I refused, they attacked me, trying to suppress me and subdue me so they could force me to lead them there!"

Lu Yang frowned. He hadn't expected that Long Jingyun, Brother Cui, and the other eight young masters and nobles from the capital were also searching for the Phoenix Spirit Herb. Worried that they would beat him to it, he immediately said to Wang Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, how are your injuries? If you're alright, lead us to where the Phoenix Spirit Herb is right away!"

Wang Xiaoman stopped healing herself and nodded, saying, "Master Lu, my injuries are fine now. I'll take you to find the Phoenix Spirit Herb!"

After saying that, Wang Xiaoman quickly walked in a direction slightly south.

Lu Yang and his two companions followed behind the other party.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard fighting sounds and screams ahead.

As they approached, Wang Xiaoman was shocked to discover that several sect disciples were actually besieging and killing several members of her Wang family.

These members of the Wang family were hardly able to fight back.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoman let out a sharp cry and charged towards the disciples who were surrounding and attacking the Wang family members, wielding her spiritual sword: "You're courting death! How dare you kill members of our Wang family!"

Several members of the Wang family were in utter despair, thinking they might die at the hands of these sect disciples. But then, at the critical moment, a familiar figure flew over from afar.

The other party is Wang Xiaoman, the eldest daughter of the Wang family and a martial arts prodigy.

Several members of the Wang family immediately cried out in alarm, "Sister Xiaoman, please save us..."

Several sect disciples were somewhat surprised to see Wang Xiaoman appear, but they were not afraid at all.

They learned that Wang Xiaoman had been severely injured by Long Jingyun not long ago, and that her martial arts strength had probably declined considerably, making her no match for the geniuses of their sects.

What excited them even more was that if they could capture the seriously injured Wang Xiaoman and hand her over to Young Master Long Jingyun, they could receive the benefits promised by him.

Immediately, these inner disciples abandoned the injured members of the Wang family and turned to attack Wang Xiaoman.

One of the inner sect's genius disciples sneered at Wang Xiaoman, "Wang Xiaoman, with your talent, when you weren't physically injured, we might have been somewhat wary of you. But now, you're no match for any of us!"

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender obediently to avoid further humiliation and torture later!"

Wang Xiaoman swallowed the healing pills given to her by Lu Yang. Although the healing period wasn't very long, her injuries had truly healed by more than half. Seeing these sect disciples looking down on her so much, her face turned extremely cold. She fully activated her dantian's true energy, reinforcing it into her spiritual weapon sword, and charged towards the group at an even faster speed.

puff!

As soon as a disciple exchanged blows with Wang Xiaoman, his heart was pierced directly by her magical sword. With a flick of her wrist, the sword instantly shattered his heart and even left a bowl-sized hole in his chest.

The other inner disciples were all incredibly surprised to see their companion's chest shattered by Wang Xiaoman's sword in a single exchange, without even a chance to retaliate.

However, they did not stop attacking each other. Instead, they unleashed their strongest fighting power, preparing to cripple each other and suppress them on the spot.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoman's sexy lips curled into a cold smile: "You've come at the perfect time. You can all stay here!"

shhhhhh...

She activated the magical sword to its maximum potential, and the sword instantly shot out several extremely sharp sword beams. The sword beams shot into the bodies of several inner disciples like lightning, and they all died on the spot.

Seeing the several corpses lying on the ground, Wang Xiaoman sheathed her magical sword and asked the approaching Wang family members, "What exactly happened?"

While asking the questions, she quickly took out a low-grade healing pill and tossed it to them.

After several disciples swallowed the pills, one of the female disciples complained to Wang Xiaoman, "Sister Xiaoman, it's all that Long Jingyun's doing! I heard from those inner sect geniuses that Long Jingyun created a Phoenix Bounty!"

"This Phoenix Bounty is primarily aimed at everyone in our Wang family, and its ultimate goal is to force you to show yourself and obediently reveal the exact location of the Phoenix Spirit Herb!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoman was furious.

She never imagined that, instead of capturing her, Long Jingyun would resort to such despicable and shameless means to coerce her.

After calming her anger slightly, Wang Xiaoman continued to inquire carefully, "Is there any other useful information?"

Another male disciple suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Sister Xiaoman, I think I heard one of the inner sect's genius disciples say something... something about capturing us and taking us to a place called Phoenix Grassland, where we can get the rewards listed on the Dragon Capital Cloud Bounty!"

Upon hearing the words "Phoenix Grassland," Wang Xiaoman's beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed sharply. She quickly said to Lu Yang and the other two who were approaching, "Master Lu, we must hurry to Phoenix Grassland, because the Phoenix Spirit Herb is located in the center of Phoenix Grassland!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang nodded and said, "Alright, let a few of your Wang family members come with us too!"

Wang Xiaoman said gratefully, "Master Lu, thank you. This time, our Wang family guarantees to do everything in our power to help you obtain the Phoenix Spirit Herb!"

Immediately, the group hurriedly drove towards the Phoenix Grassland.

Midway through their journey, they encountered more than a dozen sect disciples escorting several members of the Wang family, also heading towards the Phoenix Grassland.

Wang Xiaoman, Lu Yang, and Xin Yi worked together to quickly eliminate the sect disciples and rescue Wang Jia's followers.

Through these disciples, they learned more detailed information.

This fueled Wang Xiaoman's anger towards Long Jingyun even more. She immediately bowed to Lu Yang and pleaded, "Master Lu, I have a favor to ask of you. When you see Long Jingyun later, please help me cripple him. I want him to kneel down and kowtow to all of the Wang family to apologize!"
