Cloud butterfly incense, the finest spice, is extracted from the cloud butterfly flower.
Even if it's just one tael, it still costs a hundred thousand silver coins.
Many women in the martial arts world like Yundie Incense, not only because of its elegant and long-lasting fragrance, but also because of its ability to calm the mind and calm the mind.
After using Cloud Butterfly Incense once, the fragrance will last for a month and cannot be washed away even if you take a shower.
At the same time, after using the Cloud Die Incense, the other scents of the warrior can be completely covered up. At this moment, Zhang Ruochen could only smell the scent of the Cloud Die Incense on that piece of gauze, but he could not smell the scent of the demon sect witch.
Another breath.
Duanmu Xingling is not the only woman in the martial arts world who likes Yundiexiang. Therefore, even if Zhang Ruochen gets the scarf, it is impossible to connect the demon sect witch to Duanmu Xingling.
"Boom!"
The ground shook and bells and horses neighed.
Led by a burly deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, a large group of dark, armored sergeants rushed from both ends of the street, forming an encirclement and stopped in front of Zhang Ruochen.
The deputy commander of the imperial army jumped off the beast's back, knelt on one knee, and said: "The general is late in coming to rescue, please punish him, His Highness the Ninth Prince."
With Zhang Ruochen's current level of martial arts cultivation, how could those Imperial Guards dare to be disrespectful to him? Even the deputy commander-in-chief must carefully kneel down and salute when they see him.
One is a genius prince and the other is a useless prince. In a world where martial arts is respected, the treatment they enjoy is naturally different.
Zhang Ruochen put away a face towel, stared at the deputy commander, and said, "How is the situation in the palace?"
The deputy commander of the forbidden army said: "The evil warriors of the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult have retreated. The king has regained control of the overall situation. All the forbidden troops in the royal city are dispatched and are trying their best to arrest those evil warriors."
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Has the Ninth Princess returned to the palace?"
"I don't know."
The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army was afraid of angering Zhang Ruochen, so he added: "Commander Wan has personally rushed to the Wucheng Arena, and nothing will happen to Your Highness the Princess."
"In that case, you escort me back to the palace first." Although Zhang Ruochen wanted to rush to the Wushi Arena immediately, but in his current state, even if he rushed there, he wouldn't be able to help in any way.
Moreover, Chang Qiqi has been seriously injured and is in a coma, and must be treated immediately.
Two Forbidden Army warriors lifted Chang Qiqi up and followed the Forbidden Army team back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Zhang Ruochen immediately sent someone to ask the best alchemist in the palace to personally treat Chang Qiqi's injuries.
After the alchemist confirmed that Chang Qiqi's life was safe, Zhang Ruochen dragged his tired body to Yushu Palace.
After Concubine Lin saw the wounds on Zhang Ruochen's face and left shoulder, she was naturally frightened. She felt sour and shed tears.
Zhang Ruochen just kept trying to comfort him. As a warrior, how could he not get hurt once he embarked on the path of martial arts?
Not long after, under the escort of the imperial army, the nine princesses also returned to the palace.
The main targets of the attack by the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect were originally the disciples of the Yuntai Sect and the students of the Wushi Academy. The Ninth Princess was just a victim and did not suffer the most violent attack.
With both the battle plan and the Wings of Wind, it is not difficult for the nine commanders to save their lives.
Hearing that Zhang Ruochen had returned to the palace first, the Ninth Princess rushed to Yushu Palace. After seeing Zhang Ruochen, she immediately hugged Zhang Ruochen and burst into tears, her head kept digging into Zhang Ruochen's arms.
After all, she was just a teenage princess who had never seen such a tragic scene. If she were not a Xuanji realm warrior, she would have collapsed long ago.
Zhang Ruochen gently patted the head of the Ninth Princess, as if he were his elder brother, and comforted him: "The road to martial arts is so dangerous, and there will be more and more dangers in the future. It is impossible to stay in the palace forever.
It’s so comfortable in China.”
The Ninth Princess nodded while sobbing: "I know, but this is the first time I saw so many people being killed. Hundreds of corpses were piled up together, and the blood gathered into a blood pool. I would be scared just thinking about it. If it weren't for
With the battle map you gave me, it’s impossible for me to crawl out from the pile of corpses. I’m afraid… I’ve been cut into pieces by those evil warriors like Sixth Brother and Third Brother.”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked and said: "The sixth prince and the third prince are dead?"
The Ninth Princess said: "I saw with my own eyes that the sixth brother was split in half by an evil warrior, and the blood almost splashed on my body. The third brother was hacked to death by three evil warriors, and the body was all bloody."
The third prince and the sixth prince went to the Wushi Arena to see Zhang Ruochen make a fool of himself, but they did not expect that Zhang Ruochen escaped and they died in the Wushi Arena.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, and comforted the Ninth Princess with a few words. After sending the frightened Ninth Princess away, he entered the inner space of the space-time crystal and began to heal his wounds.
As for how brutal this battle was, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to ask more questions for the time being.
The world of martial arts is so cruel, the strong survive and the weak die.
Even if the royal family of Yunwu County was wiped out, Zhang Ruochen would not feel surprised at all. Just like the Shengming Central Empire, which was extremely powerful at the time, is now gone?
Therefore, the stronger you are, the greater your chance of survival will be.
After nine consecutive days of recuperation in the inner space of the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen's injuries were completely healed. Even the scar on his face completely disappeared under the repair of the true energy and medicinal power.
After experiencing this life-and-death battle, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation seemed to have improved a lot, and he was one step closer to the late stage of the Earthly Realm.
When people are forced into a desperate situation, they can really stimulate their body's potential and break through the realm faster.
After walking out of the inner space of the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed to visit Chang Qiqi.
Chang Qiqi has a strong physique. Although she was seriously injured, after these few days of recuperation, she has recovered 20 to 30% and can walk on the ground.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang, for your rescue. Chang will never forget it." When Chang Qiqi saw Zhang Ruochen, she immediately knelt down to salute.
Zhang Ruochen supported Chang Qiqi and said, "We are fellow disciples, why should we be so polite?"
Chang Qiqi was very grateful to Zhang Ruochen. If Zhang Ruochen hadn't ignored his own safety and insisted on taking him away, he would definitely have died.
Chang Qiqi sighed: "I have already inquired about the fact that our Wushi Academy suffered heavy losses this time. Thirteen students from the inner palace alone died, and twenty-seven students from the outer palace died. These are only the students whose bodies were found.
, there are still twenty-four students missing, probably dead or captured."
Zhang Ruochen said: "The black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect are already very powerful. I guess they have dispatched evil masters from several surrounding counties to the royal city. But the Wushi Academy only dispatches young disciples to deal with them. How can it be possible?
Undefeated?"
Chang Qiqi nodded and said: "I guess the academy didn't expect that the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Church were so fierce. They even dispatched five of the older generation's Tianji Realm Martial Arts Myth. After this disastrous defeat, I'm afraid the academy
The palace must also start to be reorganized, and at least a few silver-robed elders must be dispatched to take charge of Yunwu County."
Zhang Ruochen said: "The black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect will definitely not have an easy time. They will definitely suffer heavy losses this time."
"Yes, it is said that those evil warriors killed nearly a thousand people, and there were as many as a thousand evil warriors imprisoned in the sky prison."
Chang Qiqi clenched her fists tightly and said, "But how can the lives of those evil warriors be compared with those of the students from Wushi Academy?"
"Any student from the outer palace will definitely have the talent to break through to the extreme realm of the earth. A student from the inner palace will have at least a 30% chance of breaking through to the extreme realm of the sky."
"It can be said that the sum of a hundred evil warriors is not worth the life of one outer palace student."
Zhang Ruochen patted Chang Qiqi on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry! After suffering such a big loss, the older generation of strong men in the academy will definitely fight back."
Chang Qiqi nodded, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she said: "Junior brother Zhang, I heard that you and Zi Qian have a very good relationship?"
Zhang Ruochen's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked without leaving any trace: "What happened?"
Chang Qiqi said: "When you and Zi Yin Yang fought on the battlefield, it was Junior Sister Zi who discovered Zi Yin Yang's identity at the beginning and told Senior Brother and Junior Sister Chen Xi'er. Junior Sister Chen Xi'er suspected that she was from the Underworld.
The spies detained her and may put her to death."
Wushi Academy has always followed the principle of "I would rather kill than let go" when dealing with spies.
In order to save Zhang Ruochen, Zi Qian must have said something she shouldn't have said, which aroused Chen Xi'er's suspicion.
Now we are in big trouble!
In any case, it was because of him that Zi Qian was suspected by Chen Xi'er. Zhang Ruochen had to rescue Zi Qian no matter what, and could not just watch her being executed.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I see, it's probably a misunderstanding. Senior Brother Chang, do you know where Junior Sister Zi is being held?"
Chang Qiqi shook her head and said: "I don't know very well, but there are only three secret strongholds of Wushi Academy in the royal city. It is said that you have a good relationship with Junior Sister Chen Xi'er, you can go to her
.As long as the matter is explained clearly, Junior Sister Chen Xier should be able to let him go."
Later, Chang Qiqi told Zhang Ruochen the locations of the three secret book strongholds and the secret method of contacting the students of Wucheng Academy.
Because Chang Qiqi's injury was too serious and she had to continue to recuperate, Zhang Ruochen left the palace alone.
Now, the situation in the royal city is still very chaotic. Zhang Ruochen did not walk out of the palace blatantly as the ninth prince. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness, wore a metal mask, and slipped out without anyone noticing.
Zhang Ruochen knew that Zi Qian's true identity was indeed the killer of the Underworld Sect, so he did not dare to go to Chen Xi'er rashly.
If Chen Xi'er finds out, Zhang Ruochen actually wants to save a killer from the underworld.
How would she feel?
If Chen Xi'er suspects that Zhang Ruochen is also a spy in the black market, it will be very detrimental to Zhang Ruochen.
Although the relationship between Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xi'er is not bad, it has not yet reached the level of complete trust.
Zhang Ruochen decided to go to Duanmu Xingling first and learn from her about the situation of Wushi Academy in the royal city. Then, he would make plans.
In the hands of fellow disciples, rescuing a black market spy is not a trivial matter, but a very dangerous one.
If you are not careful, you will cause Zhang Ruochen to be killed, and even involve the royal family of Yunwu County.
