Chapter 754 Tu La’s Self-Sacrifice Strategy, Framing Ye Xiu

For more than sixty years, the field agents of the three great Judicator Families had maintained contact with those who had pledged their loyalty to the families sixty years ago.

Thus, Tu La, Cha Muxue, and Lin Chuan simply borrowed a passerby’s phone to contact them.

Afterward, they found a secluded spot in the southern mountains of Biluo Island to meet. Once they had concocted their secret plan, they waited for nightfall. Tu La and Cha Muxue then launched a raid on the Necromancers Association. They were intentionally ’discovered’ by two undercover Seventh Realm War Gods, which drew out Bruce and the other Seventh Realm War Gods from the association.

Bruce took matters into his own hands. With a few swift moves, he took down Tu La and Cha Muxue.

"Ha, what were you two thinking? Of all the organizations on Biluo Island, the Necromancers Association is the strongest. Instead of ambushing a weaker group, you came to attack us. Are you looking for death?" Bruce kicked Tu La over, asking with an exasperated laugh.

Because you’ve been dying to take down Ye Xiu... Tu La thought to himself, but his words were defiant.

"Hmph, Cha Muxue and I are members of the negotiation team. As the saying goes, ’Don’t slay the messenger.’ Do you dare to kill us?"

SLAP!

Bruce struck Tu La across the face. "Don’t you dare try that wordplay on me," he said coldly. "I don’t play by those rules here. Men, chop these two up and feed them to the dogs!"

Instantly, the surrounding men drew their blades, each eager to be the first to act.

Tu La and Cha Muxue immediately feigned terror.

"Wait!" Tu La shouted.

"Any last words?" Bruce asked with a smile.

"You’re ruthless!" Tu La gritted his teeth, demanding harshly, "What will it take for you to spare our lives?"

Bruce broke into a smile. He had been waiting for that question. "You’re from the three great Judicator Families, so you must know a lot about them and the Eternal Kingdom. Tell you what: give me some interesting intel, and I’ll let you live."

"This..." Tu La and Cha Muxue put on a masterful performance, feigning indecision and conflict.

"Speak or die!" Bruce bellowed.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" Tu La quickly cooperated. "I do have a piece of information that is very important to you—it’s about Ye Xiu."

Upon hearing Ye Xiu’s name, Bruce’s eyes lit up. "Speak!" he urged.

After a three-second silence, Tu La said, "The truth is, Ye Xiu belongs to the three great Judicator Families."

What? This revelation was like an atomic bomb, leaving Bruce and all the other members of the Necromancers Association completely stunned.

"A ploy to sow discord!" Bruce instantly saw through the scheme. "You’re trying to drive a wedge between the world’s Martial Artists and Ye Xiu, hoping to use my hand to eliminate him."

As he spoke, Bruce could feel the admiring gazes of his subordinates. He thought to himself how clever he was for so easily seeing through Tu La’s plot.

"Ye Xiu made his debut at sixteen, defeated every famous physician in Xuanse, and won the title of Medicine King. Didn’t that ever strike you as odd?" Tu La had anticipated Bruce’s disbelief and continued before he could be questioned. "Neither his mother’s family nor his father’s has any background in medicine, and his own upbringing shows no signs of him studying it before he was sixteen. So where did his unparalleled Medical Skills come from?"

This question plunged Bruce and every member of the Necromancers Association into deep thought. It was not just them; in fact, no one in all of Xuanse could figure out the answer to that question.

"Keep talking!" Bruce’s expression grew grave.

Tu La organized his thoughts and began his tale, mixing truth with lies. "When Ye Xiu was born, he was chosen by the three great Judicator Families and granted the ’Dragon God Totem’. At the age of sixteen, he awakened a portion of the Dragon God Totem’s power—his Medical Skills."

Bruce and the others exchanged glances. Their ancestors had fought the three great Judicator Families for over two thousand years, so they were intimately familiar with their Totems and Special Abilities. Yet, they had never heard of a Dragon God Totem.

Tu La continued, "Ten years ago, Ye Xiu was framed and fled overseas. He was taken in by the Judicator Families and brought to the Eternal Kingdom. They helped him fully awaken the Dragon God Totem and trained him for ten years. That is how he acquired such phenomenal strength at the mere age of twenty-six."

After hearing this, Bruce and the others were thoroughly convinced that Ye Xiu belonged to the Judicator Families.

They had seen many geniuses. But a monstrous genius with world-class Medical Skills and martial prowess reaching the Seventh Realm? They had only ever seen one: Ye Xiu.

After all, mastering Medical Skills to Ye Xiu’s level was far more difficult than cultivating to the rank of a Seventh Realm War God.

Most importantly, no one had heard Ye Xiu’s name during the ten years he was a fugitive overseas. With his Medical Skills and strength, how could he possibly have failed to make a name for himself abroad? There was only one explanation. For those ten years, Ye Xiu was not traveling the world. He was in the Eternal Kingdom.

"Is this information enough to trade for my life and Cha Muxue’s?" Tu La asked.

"Not enough!" Bruce said in a deep voice. "Continue!"

"Alright then!" Tu La sighed, pretending to give in. "Do you know what kind of Totem the Dragon God Totem is?"

"Cut the crap and just say it!" Bruce urged.

Tu La nodded repeatedly. "The Dragon God Totem is the most powerful Totem in this world, even stronger than those of the three great Judicator Families. Moreover, in this world, only Ye Xiu possesses the Dragon God Totem..."

Hearing this, Bruce interrupted, "What’s so special about it?"

"I’m not entirely sure. Only the high-ranking members of the three great Judicator Families have seen Ye Xiu use the Dragon God Totem." Tu La first created an air of mystery, then continued, "However, from what I know, the blood of the Dragon God Totem Inheritor has miraculous effects. For instance, it can perform Cleansing Essence and Marrow, stabilize one’s Cultivation, enhance strength, and even allow whoever drinks it to randomly awaken a Totem or a Special Ability."

At this, the breathing of Bruce and every member of the Necromancers Association grew ragged. The miraculous properties of the Dragon God Blood had thoroughly ignited their greed.

They could not help but imagine how powerful they would become if they drank it.

"Is there any more information about Ye Xiu?" Bruce asked, suppressing the urge to go after Ye Xiu immediately.

Tu La thought for a moment. "One more thing. To eliminate you invaders, Kristina gave Ye Xiu 30,000 Life Totems, allowing him to secretly train experts to cooperate with the Judicator Families and destroy you. Right now, everyone in the Abandoned City is one of the people Ye Xiu has recruited."

Actually, Lin Chuan’s plan had included neither the "30,000 Life Totems" nor the detail about "Ye Xiu being a member of the three Judicator Families."

Tu La had added them himself.

His goal was not just to force Ye Xiu into a corner, leaving him no choice but to seek refuge with the three great Judicator Families. He also wanted to use Bruce and his men to wipe out everyone in the Abandoned City.
