#354 - Everything is mine
Su Jin immediately recounted the events that had transpired in the capital.
Su Ji listened in silence.
The other five peak-level Sect King experts also remained silent.
“Su Jin, that wasn't very considerate of you!” Nalan Jie, the Dharma Protector of the Demon Appearance Sect, glanced at him and said, “You should have spoken to Brother Su Ji about this privately. We shouldn't have been privy to it. That way, whatever choice you made would have been irrelevant to us. Now, even if you decide not to inform Brother Wuxie about what happened in the capital, we'll have to let him know!”
Ling Yu of the Spirit Control Sect nodded in agreement, saying, “Indeed. From our perspective, we naturally wouldn't want Brother Wuxie to intervene, as this is likely a trap. But if we conceal it from him, we might no longer be able to be his friends.”
“There is no other choice in this matter. We all know his character. The Great Zhou royal family has deep ties with him, and Ji Yinlan is the woman he loves. It would be unwise to deliberately keep this from him!”
Su Ji said in a deep voice, then promptly turned and walked out.
Su Jin hurriedly followed him out.
The five peak-level Sect King experts exchanged glances and then rose to follow.
They arrived at a quiet, simple courtyard.
Su Ji first woke up Su Xiaoxiao and asked her to knock on Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao's doors.
At the same time, at the foot of Sect King Mountain, a figure was staggering along.
He was covered in blood, his face pale, his body riddled with wounds. One of his arms was hanging limp, blood flowing down and dripping continuously from his fingertips.
… …
Inside the simple courtyard on Sect King Mountain, Yue Yao, fully dressed, emerged from her room.
She wore a Flowing Cloud Dress woven from Heavenly Silk, and as she moved with graceful steps, the snow-white dress fluttered gently in the night breeze, like a celestial fairy descending from the Moon Palace.
“Has something happened?”
Seeing Su Ji and the other five peak-level Sect King experts all present, along with the Medicine King Sect's Hall Master who worked at the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, she immediately realized that something must have happened.
“Indeed, something has happened.” Su Ji said with a grave expression, “We only just received news of this matter, and after much deliberation, we felt it was best to inform you first, and then let you decide whether or not to tell Little Brother Wuxie.”
Yue Yao nodded gently, a hint of solemnity appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.
She looked at Su Ji with her beautiful, star-like, clear eyes and said, “Elder Su Ji, what exactly is it? Please tell me.”
“Tonight, in the Great Zhou capital… …
Su Ji had only spoken a few words when a thud, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, came from the mountainside.
Everyone rushed out of the courtyard, standing on high ground to look down.
They saw a figure covered in blood lying on the ground, struggling to get up and staggering towards the mountain.
“Eighth Prince?”
Yue Yao's beautiful pupils constricted slightly, and her heart sank.
She knew that something major must have happened, otherwise Ji Beilan would not be in such a state.
“Sister Yue Yao, I need to see… … see brother-in-law, save me… … Father Emperor… …
Hearing Yue Yao's voice, Ji Beilan looked up at the mountain, his eyes suddenly lighting up, as if seeing hope in despair, seeing a savior.
He gritted his teeth and tried to climb up, but after only a few steps, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
Large amounts of blood seeped out of his body, staining the ground red.
“Everyone, quickly carry him into the courtyard!” Yue Yao said urgently, “Xiaoxiao, prepare to stop the bleeding and heal him!”
Su Jin reached out, and a surge of true energy wrapped around the dying Ji Beilan.
Once inside the courtyard, they laid him flat on the ground, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately began to treat him.
At this moment, Ling Fei pushed open the door and came out, also using her Great Healing Technique to treat Ji Beilan.
“Oh, he's badly injured, but his life essence hasn't been damaged, so his life isn't in danger.”
Su Xiaoxiao said as she treated him.
“Please take care of the Eighth Prince. I'll go wake up Brother Wuxie now.”
Yue Yao hurriedly returned to her room.
… …
In the Spirit Void Realm, Star River Zone, in the mountains thousands of miles away from the main city.
Jun Wuxie sat cross-legged in front of a cave, his body flowing with a faint golden glow, and occasionally, strands of Primal Chaos light could be seen flashing on his skin.
Chan'er had come out of the cave at some point.
She sat two meters away from Jun Wuxie, holding a small bear doll in her arms, her black gem-like eyes blinking as she watched him, a radiant smile occasionally blooming on her lips.
After several days of continuous absorption of the power of the Primal Chaos Source Stone,
the recovery of Jun Wuxie's Primal Chaos Beginning Bone was progressing very quickly.
Currently, the regeneration of the Primal Chaos Beginning Bone had reached about one-fifth, and the derived Primal Chaos essence was much purer than it had been two days ago.
His origin crack, although not completely healed, was in much better condition than before, with only a faint trace of a crack remaining.
“It seems that as long as the Primal Chaos Beginning Bone is reborn to one-third, the derived Primal Chaos essence will be able to completely repair my origin injury!”
Jun Wuxie would occasionally observe his own origin injury, and the changes over the past two days made him feel very comfortable.
Moreover, as his physical body was constantly tempered by the Primal Chaos essence derived from the Primal Chaos Beginning Bone, the power of Primal Chaos fused into his blood qi became more and more abundant, and he clearly felt that his strength had also increased significantly.
This was an increase in strength achieved without any breakthrough in his realm.
Such an improvement was an increase in the growth of his talent.
It was a pity that the current level of improvement was limited, and the growth of his talent remained at the first level of Myriad Age King, without stepping into the second level.
However, although it was still stuck at the first level, it had improved from the early stage of the first level to the late stage, closer to the second level of Myriad Age King.
“In another two or three days, the origin injury should be healed, and the intensity of talent growth should also be able to advance to the second level of Myriad Age King!”
Thinking this, he decided to leave the Spirit Void Realm after repairing his origin. With his physical strength and soul strength, he could probably stay in the Spirit Void Realm for more than ten days.
There was no need to worry about being forcibly drawn back to the outside world.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Yue Yao's voice in his mind.
It was a very brief sentence.
Ji Beilan had an accident and was seriously injured!
Jun Wuxie's heart sank, and he suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light bursting forth from his pupils!
“Ah, Big Brother, your eyes are so scary…” Chan'er shrank back in fright, but then rushed over, sweetly hugging his arm: “Big Brother, you're awake?”
“Chan'er, we should leave. Come, give me your hand!”
Jun Wuxie stood up, tightly holding Chan'er's soft, tender hand.
“Fortunately, Beilan is only seriously injured, he's still alive! If anything were to happen to him, how would I face Yinlan!”
Jun Wuxie's heart was filled with lingering fear. He thought that those people would not attack Ji Beilan.
After all, Ji Beilan was only at the Star Chen Realm. Whether it was the Soul Hunters, the Holy Gate, or the experts from the Black Demon Sect, they should not have targeted him.
But the reality proved otherwise.
He realized that he had overlooked something.
If those people wanted to deal with him, then Ji Beilan was currently the best link between the Great Zhou royal family and him.
Therefore, Ji Beilan had always been in those people's sights and had not been ignored.
Fortunately, those people's main target was him, and Ji Beilan still had the value of being used to transmit information, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Returning to the outside world, he immediately grabbed Chan'er and rushed out of the room.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw Ji Beilan lying there covered in blood.
His body was covered with wounds, each blood hole shockingly visible, as well as knife wounds, sword wounds, etc. His left arm was almost completely severed.
“Brother Wuxie!”
Everyone looked at him in unison.
“Brother… … Brother-in-law… …
Ji Beilan had received treatment, and the flame of his life had been completely stabilized, but he was still very weak.
The moment he saw Jun Wuxie, he struggled excitedly, trying to get up.
“Cooperate with the healing, don't worry about anything, you have me!”
Jun Wuxie reached out and pressed him down, then looked up at everyone, his voice unusually calm: “What exactly happened?”
At this moment, everyone felt an overwhelming rage and killing intent beneath his calm expression.
