Chapter 544 Shadow Assassin

Lu Yu hurried to the demon camp in the west of the city.

This is where Wu Zhuojun is temporarily in charge.

Since the main force of the Wuhuan clan has not arrived yet, Wu Zhuojun is now just a general without troops, but he himself is quite powerful and is a heavenly demon. Guarding here can help stabilize the morale of the army, so Lu Yu stationed him here.

But what he didn't expect was that such a thing would happen now.

"What's going on? How is Wu Zhuojun now? Has the assassin been caught?"

Lu Yu asked the Marquis of Huo who had been waiting at the gate of the camp.

The Marquis of Huo was already terrified at this time.

Not long after the Huangshan Army rewarded the old members of the Black Wind City, such a thing happened, and the one who was attacked was a general of the Heavenly Demon level. He was very worried that Lu Yu would be dissatisfied and then vent his anger on himself.

"This is quite strange... The West City Camp was very peaceful tonight, and nothing unusual happened until about 15:00, when a scream suddenly came from Wu Zhuo Jun's tent..."

"The patrolling guards rushed over immediately, but did not see anyone in the tent, only found a bloodstain..."

"So the guards immediately sounded the alarm, and then the entire West City Camp was under martial law. After a search, they found Lord Wu Zhuo outside the camp..."

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but frowned: "What? "What? You mean Wu Zhuojun was found outside the camp?"

The Marquis nodded with difficulty: "Yes... and he suddenly appeared outside the camp without any fight..."

"When the patrol found him, he had already fallen to the ground unconscious, bleeding all over the ground. The situation was very critical. At present, we just helped him stop bleeding..."

"As for the traces of the assassin... I am incompetent, and I still haven't found any clues until now..."

The Marquis said, lowering his head in panic.

Lu Yu was silent.

He turned his head and looked around. He took a look at the camp with connected camps and brightly lit fires. He couldn't help but feel a little incredible...

What kind of assassin could sneak into such a camp without anyone noticing?

And the first scene of the assassination was clearly Wu Zhuojun's tent, so why would he be found outside?

Lu Yu shook his head, temporarily stopped thinking about such doubts, and said: "Let's go see Wu Zhuojun first!"

Soon, Hou led Lu Yu to Wu Zhuojun's tent.

Wu Zhuojun was lying on a simple wooden bed, his face pale and his breath was weak.

Lu Yu did not delay, and immediately connected his mind to the medical classics star, switched to a special medical classics vision, and began to check Wu Zhuojun's injuries.

"Huh?"

This look immediately made Lu Yu find something unusual.

It turned out that Wu Zhuojun was injured by a dagger stab in the back. From the shape and trend of the wound, Lu Yu could clearly simulate in his mind how the stab was made.

Obviously, the assassin suddenly attacked Wu Zhuojun from behind. How he managed to get to Wu Zhuojun's side without being noticed is not discussed for now. However, judging from the angle and strength of the attack, the assassin was clearly capable of killing Wu Zhuojun in one fell swoop, but he deliberately deviated the blade by half an inch, avoiding the vital part of the heart meridian, and only chose to cut off the internal breath circulation, making him completely unable to resist.

In other words, it was the assassin who showed mercy, so Wu Zhuojun was alive at this time...

Combined with the clue that Wu Zhuojun was found outside the camp, a bold conclusion naturally emerged in Lu Yu's mind...

The assassin's purpose was not to kill Wu Zhuojun, or to kill Wu Zhuojun immediately, but to kidnap him, so he spared his life.

When the kidnapping plan was halfway through, it was suddenly discovered that the entire city west camp was awakened, so Wu Zhuojun was thrown outside as a last resort.

Although he figured it out, Lu Yu was stunned again. The doubts in his heart not only did not subside, but increased.

Who did it?

Why did they kidnap Wu Zhuojun?

What's the benefit of kidnapping him?

Before, Hu Dali was attacked in Baihu Ridge, but he didn't die. Was it for the same reason?

Since he had such a brilliant method, why didn't he come directly to me, but targeted Wu Zhuojun and Hu Zun? Isn't this missing the point?

"Marshal Ming, what's the problem?"

Seeing that Lu Yu only glanced at Wu Zhuojun, he was stunned for a long time without any reaction, and couldn't help asking.

Lu Yu came back to his senses, his face was a little solemn: "If I'm not wrong, the assassin should not have a chance to leave, he should still be within the camp... You immediately increase the search and find him for me!"

Hearing this, Hou was stunned, and couldn't figure out how Lu Yu got such information with just one glance?

"Go quickly, leave this to me!" Lu Yu urged.

Hou nodded and agreed, and hurried away.

Lu Yu began to treat Wu Zhuojun's injuries.

Although the assassin deliberately spared Wu Zhuojun's life, he was still seriously injured. If he continued to delay, he would probably die of his injuries.

If Wu Zhuojun died like this, it would undoubtedly become very troublesome. First of all, he would lose a general, and the Wuhuan clan would probably mutiny because of this, which would undoubtedly disrupt his plan to enter Dakong Mountain as soon as possible...

Therefore, Wu Zhuojun had to be saved...

Even Lu Yu himself did not expect that there would be a day when he would have to spend his true energy to treat this guy who was so bad that he was festering.

Everyone in the tent was expelled, and Lu Yu drove the power of the red lotus and began to concentrate on the rescue.

Because Wu Zhuojun's injuries were too severe, and the bodies of the demon spirits were different from those of ordinary people, it was extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to treat him.

It took Lu Yu an hour to finally cure his injuries.

Although he was exhausted physically and mentally, he felt a sense of accomplishment. The vitality of the demon spirits far exceeded that of humans. Treating their injuries was a completely different experience from treating humans.

Although he had used the power of red lotus to treat rhinoceros horns before, this was the first time he cured such a serious demon spirit injury, which gave him a new understanding of the use of the power of red lotus.

Lu Yu let out a long sigh, and his spirit was inevitably a little relaxed at this moment.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the candlelight in the tent seemed to shake, and then the shadow under the bed where Wu Zhuojun was lying also shook.

The shadow changed and twisted, getting longer and longer, and in the blink of an eye it collided with Lu Yu's shadow.

Lu Yu was stunned, wondering why the shadow was so strange. The next moment, the shadow expanded rapidly and turned into a tangible entity.

Before he could be surprised, a sharp dagger was already against his neck.

At this moment, he finally understood why the assassin could be so elusive. It turned out that he could possess the shadow. This was simply incredible!

What was even more unexpected was that the assassin had been possessed by Wu Zhuojun's shadow!

He really did not leave the West Camp... Lu Yu guessed the beginning of this matter, but did not guess that it would end like this...

However, to be precise, this assassin should be called her.

Under the flickering lights, a graceful and charming woman wearing exquisite leather armor almost leaned on his arms.

Although her face was covered with a veil and her facial features could not be seen clearly, the pair of soul-stirring eyes exposed outside were enough to arouse endless reverie. The face under the veil must be extremely beautiful...

This scene in front of him could be said to be extremely tempting, but also extremely deadly.

However, Lu Yu soon made a new discovery.

He suddenly felt that the demon mark on the forehead of this female assassin was very familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn't it very similar to the beauties of the Yehua clan that Wu Zhuojun sent not long ago?

Could it be that this female assassin was from the Yehua clan?
