Late at night, Zhang Sui suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure flashed out of the bedroom and up to the sky.
Looking to the southwest, Zhang Sui felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he returned to the bedroom, left a letter, transformed into a sword light, and headed southwest!
The closer we get to Anxi City, the thicker the fog of war becomes in the art of knowing the ground.
When he was still fifty miles away from Anxi City, three figures blocked Zhang Sui's path. The leader sent a message: "Fellow Taoist, stop and tell me your name!"
Zhang Sui restrained his sword light and revealed his face. Before he could speak, the people opposite him had already dispersed their attacks.
One of them apologized: "It turns out to be Dean Zhang of Junshan Academy. I have offended him. In this special period, we need to be more vigilant. I hope you will forgive me!"
Zhang Sui approached several people and stopped three feet away. He looked at the three people opposite.
These three people should be members of the same sect and wear the same clothes. They are led by a high-level old man from the Immortal Realm, accompanied by two middle-aged practitioners who have just entered the Immortal Realm.
Zhang Sui cupped his hands and said, "I've seen a few fellow Taoists! I wonder what happened? The security is so tight?"
The leader of the old man smiled bitterly and said: "Chaoyang Guanjingsong, I have met Dean Zhang. A nobleman from the imperial court was assassinated in the human controlled area. He was seriously injured and was almost succeeded by the aliens. The general and the emperor were furious and were sorting out the control.
The area is hundreds of miles in radius.”
Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows, this should not make him uneasy.
Zhang Sui asked: "I wonder who this noble man is?"
Jingsong said: "It is Princess Zhu Yu of Nankang who ranks eighteenth today."
Zhang Sui thought for a moment and had some impressions. He heard Fu Yun talk about some situations in the royal family, and mentioned that this Princess of Nankang seemed to have a close blood relationship with Fu Yun, but her situation in the court seemed not to be good.
.
Zhang Sui asked: "How is the princess doing now?"
Jingsong shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation very well, but I heard that the injury is not optimistic. He is currently in Anxi City. Several miracle doctors from Tianjing City are on their way here."
Zhang Sui nodded and asked: "Besides the attack on the princess, are there any other unusual movements among the aliens?"
Jingsong said with some embarrassment: "A few of us are only in charge of this place, and we don't know the situation on the front line. I hope Dean Zhang can forgive me!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be like this. I just want to ask. Can I still enter Anxi City now?"
Jingsong shook his head and said: "It is now completely sealed off. If you want to enter the city, you need a warrant from the commander of the army. No casual cultivators are allowed to enter.
The place I am responsible for now is only the outer perimeter. If you go further in, you will be guarded by the imperial guards. Without a warrant, it will be very troublesome to encounter them."
Zhang Sui nodded, cupped his hands and thanked him.
Turn around and head towards Anxi Camp.
Not long after returning to the barracks, Mr. Feng led Lao Lu and others in a hurry. It seemed that the steward in charge here had informed them.
When Mr. Feng saw Zhang Sui, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is finally back! Come on, follow me to Anxi City. There is a noble man waiting for help over there!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "I have heard from a fellow Taoist about the situation. Mr. Feng, please don't panic. The urgency is not at this moment. I have something I want to know from Mr. Feng."
Mr. Feng said: "Say it!"
Zhang Sui asked: "Did something happen to the foreign tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Feng looked a little solemn and said: "Yes, Tun Tianhuan is going to break through the world! But this matter is extremely secretive. How did fellow Taoist know about it?"
Zhang Suidao said: "I felt something in my heart, so I hurried back."
Mr. Feng said: "This news has not spread yet, but it should be soon. It's just that this incident happened suddenly and disrupted many arrangements."
Zhang Sui nodded to express his understanding.
Mr. Feng took Zhang Sui and took off directly into the air, flying towards Anxi City.
Lao Lu was also taken by Meng Zhen and followed him.
Lao Lu leaned over and said softly: "Your second junior brother is also assisting in the treatment in Anxi City at this time, and it is said that it played a big role."
Zhang Sui nodded. Zhao Rui has been practicing medicine for decades and has excellent medical skills. Coupled with the medical skills Zhang Sui taught him, he should be able to help.
Zhang Sui sent a message and said: "Aunt Liu is in good health, you don't have to worry."
When Lao Lu heard this, his face showed joy.
Meng Zhen on the side seemed to be aware of this, her eyes moving on Lao Lu and Zhang Sui.
Even with Mr. Feng taking him along, he still went through five checkpoints along the way before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion in Anxi City.
At this time, the city lord's palace had long been taken over by the black-armored Imperial Army.
After Mr. Feng took out the warrant and reported it, an eight-foot-tall strong man in black armor hurried from the house with Zhao Rui.
Seeing Zhang Sui, Zhao Ruixi said: "Elder brother, you are finally back."
Zhang Sui asked: "What's going on?"
Zhao Rui smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is very complicated. The doctors and I have tried our best to prevent it from getting worse for the time being."
Just when Zhao Ruigang wanted to elaborate, the big man in black armor beside him said: "Mr. Zhao, since it is your senior brother who is here, let him go in and take a look to see if there is anything we can do. No need to say more."
Zhao Rui didn't take it seriously when his words were interrupted, and gave Zhang Sui a wink.
Zhang Sui understood it with all his heart and knew that there were many things that are not convenient to talk about here.
Someone from Mr. Feng and others took them to another place, and Zhang Sui followed Zhao Rui and the others all the way to the inner courtyard.
No less than ten cultivators at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm were guarding everywhere along the way. At the door of a bedroom, an old woman stood quietly beside the door. Her body was so vast that Zhang Sui could not see through it.
The old woman glanced at Zhang Sui, and Zhang Sui felt as if he was being looked at completely. This feeling was very scary.
This is definitely a practitioner of the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Zhang Sui was a little puzzled. With such a person guarding Princess Nankang, how could a foreign assassin be able to assassinate her and seriously injure her? It was hard to understand when she thought about it.
As if he noticed Zhang Sui's doubts, the big man in black armor said: "Mama Rong came here after the fact."
Zhang Sui was stunned.
Grandma Rong said: "Mr. Zhao and fellow Taoist Zhang can just go in. General Liu will wait outside."
The big man in black armor nodded and extended his hand to Zhang Sui and the others.
Aunt Rong opened the door and led Zhang Sui and the two inside.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Zhang Sui smelled the smell of various medicinal materials, several of which contained strong spiritual energy.
The room was beautifully decorated, and there were two maids guarding the bed.
A bead curtain in front of the bed separated the line of sight, and one could only faintly see a person lying on the bed, but his specific appearance was unclear.
Zhang Sui looked at Zhao Rui and asked, "How did the princess get injured?"
Zhao Rui said: "The princess was struck in the back by her valet. Later it was found out that the valet was controlled by a foreign creature called the Divine Aperture. After the blow was successful, the valet and the body in her body were struck."
The Shenqiao tribe was killed instantly.
The princess's injury was the palm print on her back. The palm print was like a living thing, constantly absorbing the vitality of the princess. Various methods were tried, but to no avail.
I took the risk to seal the palm seal with acupuncture, and at the same time used various energy-replenishing drugs to make up for the lost vitality. Although it had some temporary effects, it only addressed the symptoms but not the root cause, and the effect is getting worse now."
Zhang Sui nodded, looked at Aunt Rong, and said, "I need to get in touch with the princess to make a diagnosis."
Aunt Rong frowned and said, "Do I need to see the palm print on the princess's heart?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said, "I just need to check the princess's pulse."
Aunt Rong frowned and ordered the maid: "Just follow Mr. Zhang's instructions."
The maid gently moved Princess Nankang's arm out of the bead curtain. Zhang Sui stepped forward and looked at the arm. There was a faint aura of defeat.
Zhang Sui put his wrist lightly and used medicinal techniques, and the results soon came to fruition.
Princess Nankang was not so much injured as she was possessed by something strange.
This kind of divine orifice tribe feeds on all kinds of auras between heaven and earth, especially the dragon aura of the imperial dynasty.
This is also one of the underground races. Under normal circumstances, this race is indifferent and not aggressive in itself. It is still a very salty race.
But there are exceptions to everything. Ever since the underground clan broke through the barrier between the two realms, the Shenqiao clan came to the surface.
The huge dragon energy of the unified human dynasty is not comparable to the dynasty energy of hundreds of underground tribes. In a short period of time, the Shenqiao clan at the pinnacle of the human fairyland was born.
Originally, he possessed a valet of Princess Nankang, followed her to make a fortune, and lived a leisurely life with the help of his special status. However, he did not expect that the princess would come to the southwest, and he caught up with Tun Tianyuan, who went crazy and was stimulated.
Later, traces were revealed.
There were many experts around Princess Nankang, so she noticed something strange immediately.
In order to survive in death, this Shenqiao tribe had to use the ultimate secret technique of the race to put their mark into the body of Princess Nankang to complete a special contract.
This secret technique will make the soul of the Shenqiao tribe and the princess become one, making it difficult to separate. It can also be regarded as a way to survive.
The current situation of the princess is a critical period for this integration.
Zhang Sui retracted his finger, looked at Aunt Rong, and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, the princess is not in danger."
Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"But!" Zhang Sui changed his words and everyone's hearts started to rise again.
Zhang Sui continued: "This Shenqiao Clan has now given up the body, and the soul and the princess have become one. It is not easy to separate them!"
Aunt Rong's expression changed and she asked, "Will this alien spirit replace the princess?"
If this is the case, it will be a big problem.
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "The Shenqiao clan will not have any adverse effects on the princess's soul. On the contrary, it will make the princess's soul tougher and stronger than ordinary people. If you practice in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Grandma Rong asked curiously: "What is the purpose of the Shenqiao Clan?"
Zhang Suidao: "It's just seeking life in death. The Shenqiao clan is born in leap years and dies in leap years. Every time they practice to a higher level, their lifespan increases by twelve years. They value life very seriously, but the way they value it is different from ours."
.
For them, as long as the mark of life still exists, it is not death.
In order to survive longer, they will merge their souls with other races, leaving only the mark of their own life, which is beneficial and harmless to those who possess them. It can also be regarded as a strange race.
And as long as the princess's cultivation level exceeds that of this divine orifice tribe, she can take the initiative to separate it."
There is one sentence that Zhang Sui did not say, it is unlikely to surpass the Shenqiao Clan in cultivation. Otherwise, it would not be considered the ultimate secret skill of the Shenqiao Clan.
Grandma Rong hesitated for a moment and asked, "What will be the consequences if we forcefully strip it off?"
This kind of thing of unknown origin is attached to the soul, which makes people feel uneasy no matter how much they think about it.
Zhang Suidao said: "The princess's soul has been seriously injured and it will take at least a year to recover, and some of her memory will be lost."
After hearing these consequences, Grandma Rong also hesitated.
The former is okay. Even if the soul is severely damaged, with the royal family's collection, it is not difficult to speed up the recovery. It will be a little uncomfortable at most.
The most terrible thing is the latter. I don’t know what part of the memory will be lost. If some key memories are lost, then those of them who made the decision to remove the foreign objects for the princess will probably be left with nothing to eat.
Zhang Sui remained silent, waiting for Grandma Rong's decision. He would definitely not take the initiative to offer any opinions.
And even if the other party makes a decision, he will not take action and will only tell the method.
With Grandma Rong's cultivation level, it is not difficult as long as you master the method.
Grandma Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to take a look first.
He looked at Zhang Sui and said, "The princess is unconscious now. Is there any way you can wake her up?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "This is a small matter."
Zhang Sui stretched out his sword finger and lightly touched the princess's wrist.
A wisp of sword energy, thinner than a hair, quickly reached the brain along the meridians, killing several auras entrenched in the brain one by one.
After just a few breaths, I heard a cry from the princess behind the bead curtain, and began to hold her head and cry out in pain.
Aunt Rong immediately opened the bead curtain and entered. Zhang Sui signaled to Zhao Rui and the two of them retreated outside the door.
The big man in black armor was guarding the door eagerly. When he saw the two of them coming out, his eyes were full of inquiry.
Zhao Rui smiled and said to the big man in black armor: "General Liu, with the help of my senior brother, the princess should be fine. Aunt Rong is taking care of her."
The black-armored man was overjoyed when he heard this. He saluted Zhang Sui and said, "Liu Mo, the Imperial Guard of Fengying, thank you for your great kindness, Mr. Zhang! If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please feel free to ask me. I will never refuse."
!”
As the imperial guard who protects the princess, Liu Mo has a great responsibility for the attack on the princess this time. If it weren't for his special status, he would probably be held accountable.
Now Zhang Sui took action and helped him a lot.
Zhang Sui smiled and shook his head and said: "General Liu is too polite. In fact, even if I don't take action, the princess will be fine."
What he said was not wrong. He also found out the princess's condition and let people know all the reasons, so as to avoid seeking medical treatment in a hurry and causing a lot of trouble.
In the case of Princess Nankang, even if he didn't take action, she would naturally wake up after the two merged.
Zhang Sui just shortened the process, and at the same time informed the person in charge here of all the circumstances.
The three of them chatted softly in the courtyard. After a while, Nanny Rong walked out of the room, looked at the three people in the courtyard, and said: "General Liu, please take Mr. Zhao to wait outside. I have something to say."
I want to tell fellow Taoist Zhang."
Liu Mo and Zhao Rui bowed quickly and exited the inner courtyard.
