Moments later, in the main hall of Drunken Immortal.
Everyone looked at the Sword Saint in front of them with complicated expressions.
Sword Saint's cheeks were swollen.
There was also a purplish ring around his eyes. It was very obvious.
"Master Sword Saint …"
Wang Ye looked at Sword Saint and asked, "What happened to your face …"
"Ahem!"
Sword Saint coughed when he heard Wang Ye's question. He said, "There was a small accident when I went to rescue someone …"
"The Persian caravan looked like merchants but they were actually experts from the Flame Worship Sect in disguise!"
"When I went to rescue someone, I was immediately attacked by the Flame Worship Sect's experts."
"Then, I ended up like this …"
At this point, the Sword Saint's gaze turned to Zhang Daoxuan. "Isn't that so?
Bullnose! "
"Mm!"
Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan made a sound of acknowledgement, his face filled with reluctance.
Wang Ye and the others almost laughed out loud when they heard this.
Sword Saint's face was obviously injured by Zhang Daoxuan's Tai Chi Collapse Force.
How could he push the blame to the Flame Worship Sect?
If they did not see it with their own eyes, they would have been fooled by Sword Saint.
Although they knew the truth, they did not show it.
Agy pretended to be surprised and said, "The Flame Worship Sect's people are so powerful?"
"They can beat up Sword Saint to this extent?!"
"The Flame Worship Sect's demons are cunning and they are good at changing their tactics!"
Sword Saint said, "There are a few extremely powerful experts among the merchants. They have a lot of people and their methods are ruthless. I was careless and fell into their trap!"
"But these are just minor injuries. They will be healed after I circulate my qi!"
Agy gasped when he heard this.
He turned to look at Monk Bupo and asked, "Master Bupo, is that really the case?"
"Amitabha!"
Upon hearing Agy's question, Monk Bupo softly chanted the name of Buddha and said, "I arrived late, so I didn't see anything!"
"Really?"
At this moment, Bai Luhan spoke.
"Amitabha, monks don't lie!"
Monk Bu Po put his palms together and softly chanted the name of Buddha.
At the same time, he glanced at Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan and said, "Of course it's true!"
"But this doesn't make sense!"
Looking at Monk Bupo, Bai Luhan said, "Now that the dynasty is strong and prosperous, the sea trade is also peaceful …"
"Even if the Persian merchant ships need to bring along bodyguards, why would they bring along experts with them who are strong enough to injure Sword Saint?"
"Could it be that they have some unspeakable secret?"
Bai Luhan was a little girl after all.
Especially when she found out that Sword Saint's black eye was caused by Zhang Daoxuan, she tried her best to think of ways to pressure Sword Saint.
Her goal was to see how ridiculous Sword Saint's story could be.
"Well …"
Hearing Bai Luhan's words, Sword Saint nodded and said, "At first, I was very confused too …"
"Then we found this!"
Sword Saint's eyes turned and he said, "Monk Bupo?"
"Understood!"
With that said, Monk Bu Po placed a huge box in front of everyone.
When they saw this, they couldn't help but laugh.
This Sword Saint, in order to cover up the fact that Zhang Daoxuan had given him a black eye, had made ample preparations.
This big box made it look like it was real …
But just as everyone was laughing in their hearts, Monk Bu Po opened the chest.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Because, in the box, there was a living person curled up!
This person was dressed in martial arts attire, his hands and feet were tied with ropes and he couldn't move at all.
There was also a black bag covering his head, making it difficult to see his face.
"No …"
Seeing the living person in front of him, Wang Ye said, "No … Monk Bupo …"
"What's going on?"
At the same time, Agy and the others were also confused.
Sword Saint was willing to go to such lengths just to save face?
He actually forced a living person into the box?
"Amitabha …"
In response to Wang Ye's question, Monk Bupo softly chanted the name of Buddha and said, "This time, after Sword Saint and Daoist Zhang saved those pitiful women, we checked Persia's cabin again …"
"Let's see if there's anything worth … despicable!"
"In the end, we found the person in the box …"
Monk Bupo shook his head and said slowly.
"This person collapsed in the box, not moving at all …"
Looking at the person in the alley, Bai Luhan said, "Is he dead?"
Hearing this, Wang Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He carefully looked at the man.
Although he was not moving, his breath was still there. He was not dead.
He must have entered a state of suspended animation to make it easier for him to be locked in the box.
"Blessed Immeasurable Deity …"
As if to confirm Wang Ye's guess, Zhang Daoxuan said, "This person is not dead …"
"He was forced to enter a state of suspended animation after being fed Turtle Breath."
"Turtle Breath?!"
Hearing Zhang Daoxuan's words, Bai Luhan and Agy said.
"That's right!"
Zhang Daoxuan nodded and said, "After consuming the Turtle Breath, the person will enter a state of suspended animation …"
"He can not eat or drink for many days as if he's dead …"
"This way, not only can he not cause trouble, but he can also save a lot of water and food at sea."
"This is the most suitable for a short voyage …"
"A short voyage!"
When Zhang Daoxuan said that, everyone was shocked.
Especially Agy.
He scratched his head and said, "Persia is thousands of miles away from here, but they forced Turtle Breath down this person's throat …"
"Won't they suffocate him to death?"
"That's not it …"
When he heard A 'Ji's words, Sword Saint said, "I've seen the map of the Persian merchant ship. Their next destination isn't to return to Persia. It seems like they're going to take the water route and head to the capital.
"The capital?"
The more they listened, the more confused they became.
They did not understand what the Persian merchant ship was trying to do.
First, they kidnapped Mao Mei and hid a living person in the box.
Not only that, they were going to the capital.
This series of actions did not make sense.
"Everyone, let's not talk about where the Persians are going."
Just as everyone was confused, Monk Bupo said, "Let's see how the person in the box is and wake him up first."
As soon as he said that, everyone nodded and carried the person out of the box.
At the same time, they pulled off the bag on his head …
Hiss!
The moment the bag was removed, Wang Ye and the others were stunned.
Then, their faces were filled with shock …
