In the blink of an eye, the miasma in the forest thickened, and Nie Yuntian and Zi Yun were nearly incapacitated, while Ye Luo and the frenzied bear were both exerting their full strength to resist.
"Quick, take these, they are the detoxification pills specially made by our Miao Tribe." Miao Xiaoling hastily took out several pills and urged Ye Luo and the others to swallow them.
Whiz whiz whiz!
Just then, a barrage of arrows suddenly shot out from all around. Ye Luo’s expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Miao Xiaoling and Zi Yun, dodging to one side, while Nie Yuntian and the frenzied bear each dodged in a flurry.
Following this, a series of footsteps sounded, and a group of people clad in Miao Tribe attire burst out from the miasma. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a resolute face and braided hair, wielding a curved knife. His gaze swept over the scene, and upon seeing Miao Xiaoling, his expression shifted.
"The Saintess is in their clutches, go, rescue the Saintess."
Then, the expert mbers of the Miao Tribe’s Guard Squad brandished their Miao Knives and charged toward Ye Luo and his companions, each exuding a formidable aura.
"Uncle Miao Lie, you’ve misunderstood, they..." Miao Xiaoling started to explain, seeing the unfolding scene, when the middle-aged man interrupted with, "Saintess, do not fear, we will ensure your safety."
Swish!
The middle-aged man’s eyes fixed on Ye Luo, and he bellowed, "Release the Saintess."
Following that, the middle-aged man swung his Miao Knife towards Ye Luo, who let go of Zi Yun and Miao Xiaoling and lashed out with the soft sword slung around his waist.
The soft sword clashed with the opponent’s curved knife, emitting a dull thud, causing both the man and Ye Luo to stumble back several steps. The man’s strength had already reached the Innate Peak Stage.
Whiz whiz whiz!
Yet again, a flurry of arrows shot out from the forest towards Ye Luo, who flickered through the air, the Lingyun Sword in his hand whirling, slicing down all the incoming arrows.
At this ti, Miao Xiaoling and Zi Yun had vanished into the miasma, and Nie Yuntian, too, had been subdued and captured by several of the adversary’s experts. Only the frenzied bear unleashed a fearso strength, causing all the Miao Tribe’s experts to spit blood.
Nevertheless, these Miao Tribe experts showed no signs of yielding, continuously swinging their weapons and stealthily firing arrows, attacking Ye Luo and the frenzied bear.
The miasma in the forest grew denser and denser, and eventually, even the antidote pills seed to lose their effect. The fierce bear’s strength, due to the poisonous miasma, was declining; his body received several cuts, preventing him from exhibiting his Half-Saint Realm capability. Otherwise, these people would not have been able to harm him at all.
Thud!
A muffled sound echoed as Ye Luo repelled the middle-aged man. He rushed to the side of the frenzied bear, his Lingyun Sword swinging, blasting several Miao Tribe experts back, and said to the frenzied bear, "Let’s go."
The two of them quickly fled the scene. Other Miao Tribe experts wanted to pursue, but were stopped by the middle-aged man.
"Don’t chase them now, it’s more important to escort the Saintess back to the village."
Ye Luo, leading the frenzied bear, fled for a full half hour before stopping at a mountain stream.
Ye Luo gasped for air, his gaze on the frenzied bear. The latter’s lips were turning cyanotic, his complexion pale, and his breath erratic, apparently having been poisoned by the miasma.
The miasma was extrely potent; a normal person would likely succumb with just one inhalation. Yet, the frenzied bear had managed to suppress the toxicity because of his imnse strength.
As for Ye Luo, due to his physical condition and the fact that he was a Divine Doctor, the toxic miasma didn’t pose a great threat to him.
"Mad Bear, you’ve been poisoned, sit down first, and I’ll help you expel the poison," Ye Luo said hastily to Mad Bear, gesturing for him to sit down. He then whipped out Silver Needles and pierced them into several acupoints around his body, starting the process of driving the poisonous miasma out from within.
A good fifteen minutes passed before Ye Luo managed to completely eradicate all the toxic miasma, which just showed how potent the poison was.
After a round of exertion, Ye Luo also purged a portion of the toxic miasma from his body, while Mad Bear was still regulating his breath, his wounds already starting to scab over.
Ye Luo’s gaze swept around the surroundings. With his Clairvoyant Eye activated, he scanned the area for several hundred ters, but his view was filled only with ravines and forests; beyond that, there was nothing else.
Now, they were utterly lost within the forests of Miaojiang, not to ntion finding the residence of the Miao Tribe, Miao Village.
It wasn’t long before Mad Bear’s strength recovered. Standing up, he looked at Ye Luo and asked, "Young Master, what should we do now?"
"Now that Zi Yun and Uncle Nie have fallen into their hands, to avoid any accidents, we must find Miao Village as soon as possible," Ye Luo said solemnly.
"Follow , I refuse to believe we can’t find it," Ye Luo declared as he began walking forward, his Clairvoyant Eye constantly active, scanning everything within several hundred ters.
It was just unfortunate that his Clairvoyant Eye could only see up to a few hundred ters; if, like the divine beings in novels with Spiritual Sense, a sweep could cover thousands to tens of thousands of ters, then finding Miao Village would have been a piece of cake.
However, for now, it was only wishful thinking, but Ye Luo believed that as his strength improved, his Clairvoyant Eye would beco increasingly powerful too.
anwhile, within Miao Village in Miaojiang, in an ancient house, a middle-aged man dressed in Miao attire sat in the place of honor. His face was stern and upright, and he exuded an imposing aura. He was the Clan Leader of the Miao Tribe, Miao Chang’an, and also the father of Miao Xiaoling. Several elders of the Miao Tribe sat by his side, including the Second Elder.
"Reporting to the Clan Leader and the Elders, the Saintess has been rescued," the captain of the Miao Tribe Guard Squad, Miao Lie, walked in and bowed.
"Is that true? That’s wonderful,"
Miao Chang’an stood up abruptly, his face brimming with excitent.
"Dad!"
The figure of Miao Xiaoling entered and imdiately threw herself into Miao Chang’an’s embrace.
"You little rascal, you’ve finally co back, you had Dad and the Elders so worried," Miao Chang’an spoke.
"Clan Leader, I’ve brought back the people who kidnapped the Saintess. Two others injured many of our tribe mbers and ran away, but I’ve already sent people after them. However, those two are very strong, and it might be difficult to find them," Miao Lie reported.
"Oh, is that so? I’d like to see who dared to kidnap our Miao Tribe’s Saintess," Miao Chang’an’s expression darkened as he spoke.
"Dad, you’ve misunderstood; the ones who kidnapped were not them, it was soone else. They were the ones who rescued , but Uncle Miao Lie attacked them without clarifying the situation," Miao Xiaoling quickly interjected.
Miao Lie’s expression changed slightly, and he said, "This... I failed to clarify the situation promptly. Please, Clan Leader, punish as you see fit."
"Enough, let’s go see what they have to say," Miao Chang’an said as he walked out. At that mont, the Miao man who had co in earlier quickly approached the Second Elder and whispered a few words.
Imdiately, the Second Elder’s expression tightened, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes as he hurriedly left the room.
