The dark red flame licked the silver needle and slowly burned it into black. The military doctor carefully held the handle of the needle and inserted it into the skin while asking: "Your Majesty, why are you injured so badly this time?"
Probably just as he hit the bruise, Yuan Ji pursed his lips and groaned. After the severe pain passed, he slowly said: "Oh, I've made myself self-defeating."
The military doctor was confused and did not dare to ask more questions, so he took another injection.
Suddenly there was a "crack" sound of weapons being exchanged in the silence, followed by the sounds of fighting outside, and no one knew what kind of commotion had occurred.
Suddenly, a person broke in from outside, causing a gust of panic and the sound of iron armor. Without saying a word, the man knelt on the ground and apologized: "I failed to protect you, I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
The military doctor's gestures paused and asked: "Your Majesty..."
"Just give me the acupuncture." Yuanji's tone was a little tired.
There was a mess outside, but it was so quiet inside the tent that you could clearly hear the crackling of candle wicks.
The military doctor steadily withdrew the last silver needle, took a few steps back and said, "Your Majesty, the needle is ready."
"How's my injury?"
"Although the emperor suffered external injuries, he still needs to rest for three to five days. I will do my best to heal the emperor's injuries."
Yuan Ji sat up and gathered his robes one by one. His pair of narrow, starry eyes were calm and dark, with an air of calmness and dignity: "Have you brought the Nine-turn Linglong Pill?"
The military doctor's expression changed: "Your Majesty, you are wearing it. It's just that although the Nine Turns Linglong Pill can heal wounds quickly, it is too harmful to the body after all. Please be careful, Your Majesty..."
Yuanji waved his hand: "Give it to me."
The military doctor hesitantly took out a black brocade box from the depth of the medicine box and presented it to him. Yuanji took out the pills in the box and swallowed it, signaling the military doctor to leave. Only Yuanji and the man kneeling on the ground were left in the tent. There were weapons outside.
The clanging sound is getting closer and closer.
Hot tea was poured on the wall of the cup. In a blink of an eye, the cup was full. Yuanji took a sip of tea, his starry eyes hidden behind the curl of hot air, looking unpredictable: "General Right, how is the situation going?"
He didn't ask a word about what happened outside, but the right general lay respectfully on the ground and replied: "I led two thousand people to enter this place on the fifth day before the emperor. I found that the valley was particularly warm, so I stationed here. Two days ago, I started sending troops to search for ghosts."
The entrance to the village was hidden, but the entrance to the ghost village was hidden, so nothing was found."
Yuan Ji rubbed his forehead and said, "Send more people to look for it. Gu Zhan must enter the ghost village first."
"Your Majesty, as I see it, it may not be easy for the Demon King to enter the Ghost Village. Besides, we have the Mirror Boundary Stone, which gives us an advantage."
"Gu Zhan's strength cannot be underestimated."
"The Emperor has ever confronted the Demon King?"
"I encountered him before, so he was injured like this. But I buried a magnet in Shanyin to lead him there, but I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution. Once he discovers that Shanyin is actually a deception, he will immediately turn back.
Yuan Ji said absentmindedly, tapping the wooden case with his long knuckles, as if he was thinking about something nearby.
The right general did not dare to disturb him and could only continue to kneel on the ground.
After a long while, Yuan Jicai asked: "Who is making trouble outside?"
"Miss Su Yue."
"So many people can't take her down?" Jian's eyebrows were raised slightly, his tone questioning.
The right general hurriedly explained: "Miss Su Yue was meek at first. I didn't expect her to be so extraordinary - but I guess the woman who can be favored by the Demon King is also very human."
"She's just an ordinary woman." Yuanji's tone did not show any disdain. There seemed to be a trace of tenderness in it, like misty smoke that could not be caught with one's hand. "When this matter is over, I will send her away."
Go out, but it’s not possible now, I still have to keep her—”
The curtain suddenly lifted, and there was a "crack" sound, and a broken sword, still stained with snow flakes, was nailed into the bed beam, and the black iron pieces shone coldly and angrily into pieces.
The cold wind came in sharply, blowing on the roots of the neck and making the hair stand on end. The right general immediately stood up to protect Yuan Ji, staring warily at the thick curtain that was drooping again.
"Ouch -" Several soldiers were thrown in awkwardly and fell to the ground hard.
A woman in green clothes followed behind her, holding a sword in her right hand and pressing the bleeding wound on her shoulder blade with her left hand. Yin Hongliu seeped out from between her fingers. The wind lifted her messy and tangled long hair, and it rose and fell dryly.
"Su Yue." Yuanji met her eyes calmly.
"Oh, Emperor Xining Yuanji," Su Yue sneered on her pretty face, and her voice sounded extremely angry, "I didn't expect that I saved such a big shot! Why, I stupidly sent Buddha to the west,
Is it still valuable?"
"Su Yue, I have no intention of harming you."
"Then what do you mean by placing me under house arrest?"
Just as Yuanji was about to speak, Su Yue interrupted him impatiently without waiting for anyone to say a word: "Just one sentence, will you let me out or not?"
He did not answer immediately, but the right general shouted first: "Get her!"
The soldiers outside the tent received the order and swarmed into the tent. The sword blade was cold, and the face of the person was vaguely reflected. Su Yue looked around, with a sneer of relief and disappointment on his face.
The ordinary sword in her hand suddenly lit up, and the silver light was instantly dazzling.
A sword energy slashed out, branched out, and then gathered into a brighter silver light above the head. The tent was immediately blown away, and the bright candle flames were extinguished in the sword wind. Only the silver light in mid-air illuminated the entire valley as bright as day.
.
There was a "boom", the sword energy sank into the mountain, and the glacier made a terrifying cracking sound.
"This is... Jiuhensha?"
"Sword Saint Sect?"
Everyone came back to their senses from the dazzling silver light and the tremor of landslides and ground cracks. They saw a large hole in front of them, as deep as if it went straight into the ground, and the woman in green had disappeared.
Everyone gathered around the cave and saw dark red molten lava slowly and densely flowing through the ground.
"Your Majesty!" someone shouted, and everyone looked up in panic, only to see that Yuanji had already jumped into the deep cave.
The Nine-turn Linglong Pill allowed Yuanji to quickly regain his strength, and his robes made a roar of wind as he landed steadily. It was pitch black all around, and through the red gleam of the underground magma, he could see that no one was nearby.
"Su Yue?" He called out loudly, and there were many echoes, but no one answered.
Yuanji followed the underground magma all the way. He was careful with his feet and pushed forward step by step. He followed the rock wall and turned a corner. His vision suddenly opened up, and a gust of hot air hit his face.
I saw a volcano with a huge foundation not far ahead, steaming hot air and magma outside. The volcano was dormant underground, giving people the dangerous illusion that it might explode at any time.
And Yuanji's eyes were staring straight at the top of the volcano, where stood a woman in green clothes with a broken sword in her hand and her clothes dancing wildly.
