Chapter 553: Chapter 552: Detoxification, Slaying the Black Wolf Guard_1
“Master Xu, let me help you out.”
She lifted Xu Yanru’s arm, placed it on her shoulder, and rushed out of the inn with her.
“Such horrible poisonous smoke.”
Xu Yanru’s pupils were bloodshot, her vision blurred, and her right hand tightly gripped the sword hilt in lingering fear.
“Master Xu, Qingluo has a Detoxification Pill. You should take one first, your eyes will be fine and should recover quickly.”
Lin Qingluo poured a pill from a medicine bottle and placed it in Xu Yanru’s mouth.
Xu Yanru swallowed it without hesitation.
Seeing her take the pill, Lin Qingluo felt relieved, then handed the pills to the poisoned Female Officials of the Supervision Department one by one.
The Female Officials were grateful to her and didn’t hesitate to take the pills. They sat down on the spot, running their internal energy to expel the poison and heal their injuries.
“Master, a Black Wolf Guard has escaped.”
Little Kingfisher circled above the inn, overlooking the scene with its pitch-black beady eyes, accurately catching sight of a Black Wolf Guard who thought he had slipped away unnoticed.
“Got it.”
Lin Qingluo’s figure flashed, and in an instant, she was 100 meters away.
“Yin’er will help you, let’s disable his leg first.”
Seeing her Master arrive, Little Kingfisher’s spirits lifted. She circled above the head of the Black Wolf Guard and spit out sparks from her beak.
“Ah!”
The Black Wolf Guard let out a miserable scream as his right knee was pierced. He fell to the ground with a thud, eating dirt.
Following the sound, Lin Qingluo flicked a finger, shooting out a sharp sword aura that struck his acupoints.
The Black Wolf Guard was instantly immobilized, limbs stiff, maintaining the forward position he fell into, unable to move.
Xu Ruyun led her subordinates to intercept three Black Wolf Guards, fighting fiercely for a long time, killing one and seriously injuring two others.
The two injured Black Wolf Guards immediately took poison to commit suicide on the spot.
Two Female Officials of the Supervision Department were also seriously injured. One of them was stabbed in the abdomen and was close to fainting.
Lin Qingluo unhesitatingly treated her injuries, saving her from the brink of death.
A total of six Black Wolf Guards were encountered, five killed and one captured.
The Supervision Department emerged victorious.
Yet, Xu Ruyun’s heart sunk to a new low.
Half of the Supervision Department’s experts were injured chasing after the six Black Wolf Guards.
Two were seriously injured and lost their combat abilities.
It was unknown how many Black Wolf Guards were lurking in the shadows within Capital City.
The true pitched battle was yet to come.
“Report to the Emperor, mobilize the garrison battalion, and conduct a city-wide search.”
Xu Yanru saw her concerns and patted her sister’s shoulder soothingly, offering her own suggestion.
“Have the Imperial Guards be on standby to prevent the desperate Black Wolf Guards from barging into the Imperial Palace and harming the Emperor and the Little Prince.”
“The situation is urgent. There’s no other way but to call for the Security Battalion to enter the city.”
Xu Ruyun sighed and hesitated no more, “I’ll go into the palace and report to the Emperor now.”
Xu Yanru nodded, “Qingluo caught one alive, let’s take him with us. I’ll stay behind to deal with the aftermath.”
“Sister, thank you for your hard work.”
Xu Ruyun was filled with guilt, “You’re injured, and you still have to take care of the poisoned guests in the inn.”
“My injuries are not serious.”
Xu Yanru earnestly instructed, “With Qingluo’s help, you can go with peace of mind. Be careful yourself though, the Black Wolf Guards are everywhere. Be sure to stay vigilant before entering the palace.”
“Understood.”
Xu Ruyun agreed with a smile. As the Grand Commander of the Supervision Department, with power over life and death, she rarely showed her tender side in front of her sister.
Xu Ruyun left with her subordinates, and Lin Qingluo stayed behind to help Master Xu treat the injured and deal with the aftermath.
By the time everything was handled, the sun had already set in the west, and it was late.
