Chapter 896 Spiritual Jiao
"Report——"

A Northern Frontier soldier rode up to Hong Ruohai, jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Marshal, the Northern Barbarians' camp has been searched!"

Hong Ruohai said in a hoarse voice: "Speak."

He was sitting on a big rock with his upper body naked, and an old doctor was standing behind him, giving him acupuncture.

Those silver needles were densely packed all over his body, almost turning him into a hedgehog, especially his severed right hand, which was covered with needles.

These silver needles seemed to have some mysterious power, causing Hong Ruohai's right forearm, which had been crushed and completely broken by Tiele, to slowly grow flesh and blood.

The soldier frowned at the shocking scene, but he quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"The Northern Barbarians retreated very quickly, without taking anything with them. A large amount of food, dried meat, fresh water, and supplies were left in the barracks, which is enough for our army's logistics for about half a month."

"In addition, the 300 people who were captured by our army before were all in the Northern Barbarians' camp. They have now been rescued... but they were seriously injured, and their spirits were also damaged to varying degrees. Many of them have become stupid..."

Hearing this, the old doctor behind Hong Ruohai said calmly: "Send them all to me."

The soldier was startled, then his face lit up and he replied, "Yes, Doctor Tao!"

The old doctor next to Hong Ruohai is Tao Shunan, the head military doctor of the Northern Frontier Army, who claims to be one of the top three doctors in the world.

Who are the other two?
There is no accurate judgment in the world, but according to the old doctor himself, one is Master Wu Lian of the former Wulin Alliance, and the other... should be Elder Yu Yue Xianyu of Wandu Mountain.

"Are there any other discoveries?" Hong Ruohai asked softly.

"Have."

The soldier continued, "The armor and weapons combined should weigh several thousand pounds. Once they are melted and recast, they will be enough to make up for the losses of our army!"

"but……"

He sighed, "All the letters, military maps, etc. in the barracks are gone. I'm afraid they were either taken away or burned."

Hong Ruohai frowned.

"Tie Le is still efficient enough." He said slowly: "But this is also expected."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and continue to search. Don't miss any corner."

The soldiers left as expected.

"Divine Doctor Tao."

After the people left, Hong Ruohai smiled and asked, "Can this Marshal's right hand be saved?"

"It's hopeless." Tao Shunan gently rubbed the silver needles on Hong Ruohai's back and said calmly, "Is it okay for me to retire and return home now?"

Hong Ruohai smiled bitterly: "I just wanted to ask."

"Your father was half dead back then, but I was able to hang him on his hands for twelve years. What's your right hand worth?" Tao Shunan said expressionlessly, "But for at least six months from now, you must not fight with anyone again."

Hong Ruohai was shocked: "Half a year?!"

"Every time you fight, your life span will be shortened by five years." Tao Shunan said leisurely, "Tie Le's life-and-death fight, do you think it's fun? When you were fighting, I was counting your lives on the tower of Chongshan Pass. After this battle, you will lose at least twenty years of your life span, and he... twenty-five years."

Hearing this, Hong Ruohai was happy: "Hey, if you treat me, how much can I recover? What about him? He won't live long, right?"

"Injury is injury."

Tao Shunan said calmly: "Except for some miraculous skills that can defeat the gods, no matter how powerful other medical methods are, they cannot completely erase the sequelae of the injury... Today, I can help you live ten years longer, which is the limit."

“Hahahaha——” Hong Ruohai laughed, “A mere ten years of life, in exchange for his defeat of the Northern Barbarians, it’s worth it! It’s fucking worth it!”

"As for Tiele."

Tao Shunan's tone remained calm: "Unless the great shaman uses the ancestral hall to heal him, he probably won't live for more than two years."

"Great Shaman, Huo Yaer."

Hearing this name, Hong Ruohai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Come to think of it... Dong Qianran has not sent any message yet. Did she and Qiluo Palace capture Huo Yaer? Fu Qingzhou has been gone for a long time, and he even left a letter... By the way, why didn't I see the guy from Mingjian Pavilion?"

……

Rock City.

"Huh...huh..."

Dong Qianran held the Xian Sword in his hand, supporting himself on the ground, trying to prevent himself from falling.

Behind her, Changsun Jiansu, his face covered in blood, was sitting not far away, holding a zither. Although his eyes were still open, his breathing was very weak, and his fingers on the strings were no longer able to pluck them.

Gong Yangxunyan, Ling Haojie, Yang Ling and Ping Xiaoyan had already fought to the point of fainting.

They fell unconscious not far away.

The six cave-heaven realm masters were now trapped in a corner of the Ancestral Hall Square, with nowhere else to go. In front of them, Zulaiha led a group of Ancestral Hall shamans and a large group of Northern Barbarian warriors guarding Yandu, all with murderous intent on their faces, and slowly surrounded them.

Of course, there were no ordinary people left in the square... but there were also many corpses left behind.

The shamans and warriors, including Zuleiha, were also covered in wounds, but their conditions were much better than Dong Qianran and the others.

When these northern barbarians began their siege, Dong Qianran and others had been seriously injured by Huo Yaer.

And Zulaiha and his men can borrow the power of the Ancestral Hall...

The current situation is not surprising.

"It turns out that the masters of Yan Kingdom are just like this."

Zulaiha wiped the blood off his face and sneered, "You can't even defeat us, yet you still want to attack the Great Shaman! How arrogant and ignorant!"

Dong Qianran wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she started coughing up blood and could hardly stand.

Zulayha sneered again.

"The Great Shaman said, capture them."

She said proudly, "Don't kill them. Capture them and leave them to the Great Shaman for punishment."

"Yes!"

The people behind him responded in unison.

A hint of despair flashed across Dong Qianran's eyes.

Coming to surround and kill Huo Yaer this time is of course a huge gamble... and very, very dangerous.

After all, what he brought with him were the most powerful elites in the Sword Academy.

If they fail, the situation in the capital will collapse...

Dong Qianran smiled bitterly in her heart.

She has always been moderate and balanced in her actions throughout her life and never took risks easily. Even though she had previously invited the Qiluo Palace to encircle and suppress Huo Yaer, she had never thought of doing it so hastily, let alone doing it in Yandu or next to the Ancestral Temple!

This time, it was because he heard that Fu Qingzhou had suddenly returned and was filled with shock that he made such a crazy decision.

In the end, I lost the bet...

"The people of my Sword Academy will never fall into the hands of foreigners."

Dong Qianran suppressed the severe pain in his chest and said solemnly: "Today, I, Dong Qianran, and three other teachers from the academy will commit suicide here together!"

After saying that, she gathered her last bit of strength, raised the sword... and stabbed at Ling Haojie and the others behind her!
She had no right to command the people of Qiluo Palace to make any decisions at this time, but she did not want to be captured, so she wanted to die here with her three instructors!
Changsun Jiansu's pupils shrank.

She wanted to play the zither to stop them, but her ten fingers were already covered in blood, and her skin was torn. The strings were also covered in her blood, so they could only make a dull and dim sound, and she could do nothing.

Seeing that Dong Qianran's sword was about to pierce Ling Haojie...

The sword in her hand suddenly seemed to be pulled by some strange force, broke away from her hand and flew into the sky!

Dong Qianran was shocked.

The sword flew up into the air, turned in the air, and with a whoosh, it flew onto the roof of the Ancestral Hall.

And on the roof, standing...

One, two, three, three figures.

The three of them were dressed exactly the same, all covered in black robes and wearing dragon masks!

The man in the center held a sword hilt in his hand. After the sword flew to the roof, it was inserted into the scabbard accurately!
"President Dong, you are careless."

Ling Jiao smiled slowly.

The three spirit dragons on the roof looked exactly the same, and their voices had obviously been processed, so it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women, young or old, or even which "spiritual dragon" had spoken the sentence.

"It's you!"

Below, Dong Qianran paused at the hilt of the sword, then said in surprise: "You..."

"President Dong, you are the pillar of our Dayan. You can't die here."

Ling Jiao still smiled and said, "Fu Qingzhou is too unreliable. We have to rely on you."

"Three more idiots who don't care about their lives have come."

Below, Zulaiha watched all this coldly and said in a sinister voice: "Do it!"
