Chapter 1115 Temporary Decision
At the critical moment, a faint fragrance of orchids wafted into their nostrils. Then, their movements slowed down, and they finally collapsed to the ground. Luo Yuemu used a wisp of immortal energy, as thin as a hair, to break through the sealed acupoints. She then waved her sleeve at the two of them, and in the next instant, they died with smiles on their faces and blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Luo Yuemu also spat out a mouthful of blood, as she suffered a backlash from forcibly using her immortal energy.

Meng Lanjun appeared beside Luo Yuemu in a flash and said:

"You little girl are too impatient. I've already taken him down. You'll be able to get away in a bit."

Luo Yuemu wiped the blood from her lips and said coldly:
“They must die. Since they dared to set their sights on me, even without immortal energy, I will not give them a chance to get close.”

Luo Yuemu straightened her immortal robes before speaking:
"Lan Jun, thank you for saving me."

Menglan nodded and said:

"Let's get out of here first."

The two had barely left when they were stopped by a Grandmaster from the Shuojin Kingdom. Upon seeing Meng Lanjun, the Grandmaster revealed a strange smile:

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. Since you're here, why don't you stay too?"

Menglan Jun simply smiled nonchalantly and gently fanned herself with her folding fan, saying:

"Although I don't know what benefits Dugu He promised you, you will definitely pay the price for what you did today."

Looking at the arrogant blond man in front of her, Luo Yuemu felt a pang of regret for not having cultivated her body. Otherwise, she could have crippled him in a single exchange. However, she was not without trump cards. With a flick of her sleeve, the poison she had concocted drifted toward the man.

Duanmu Kai immediately shut down his sense of smell:
That trick of yours won't work on me.

The rest of the words caught in his throat. As he spat out a mouthful of blood, Duanmu Kai clutched his chest, looked at the man and woman opposite him, his face turning purple, his eyes bloodshot, and said intermittently:

Why do I shut down my sense of smell?

Luo Yuemu said coldly:

"you do not need to know."

After saying that, he pulled out the defensive hairpin from his hair bun and plunged it directly into the other party's throat, sending this careless and arrogant grandmaster to his death.

Menglanjun, who was standing to the side, twitched her ears and said:
"Hurry up, killing him has already alerted the others."

Luo Yuemu pulled out her hairpin and followed Meng Lanjun away, her steps a little unsteady. However, the backlash slowed her down. Meng Lanjun said, "Excuse me," and then carried her on her shoulder, quickly leaving the temporary residence of Shuojin Kingdom.

Upon seeing this scene from afar, Su Cheng and Shi Qingwu, who had reached the Shuojin Kingdom's encampment, did not approach further. Instead, they slowly retreated and quickly left.

As Shi Qingwu ran, he asked in a low voice:

"Su Cheng, how are they able to use immortal energy?"

Su Cheng also frowned and said:
"I don't know Meng Lanjun's background. I only recorded that he was a training companion with Ranxi. As for that Luo family disciple, she forcibly used immortal energy. Didn't you notice that she has already suffered a backlash?"

Shi Qingwu said firmly:

"She poisoned that grandmaster."

Su Cheng nodded and said:
"Yes, she is an alchemist. Poison is probably her trump card for self-defense. Young master, you should be more careful when you encounter female immortals in the future, and try not to make a life-or-death feud with them, otherwise you won't even know how you died."

He was absolutely speaking from the heart; the downfall of the Su family was the best example. As a member of the Su family, he couldn't even find a pretext to attack Ran Xi, let alone the fact that his current strength was far inferior to hers. Therefore, he chose to remain aloof. Shi Qingwu wasn't stupid; he sensed the hidden meaning in Su Cheng's words. Recalling Su Cheng's previous attitude towards Fairy Ran Xi, his eyes flickered, and he immediately pressed for an answer:
"Su Cheng, you said that out of genuine feeling, right? Is it related to that guest elder of the Luo family? Could you briefly explain?"

He's very interested in listening now.

Su Cheng actually wanted to talk to someone, but when he recounted the connection between the Su family and Ranxi, he never mentioned Ranxi's name, only referring to her as "Fairy".

After hearing the story of the Su family, Shi Qingwu also gasped. On the surface, Ranxi and her mother were not only innocent, but they also compromised with the Su family at the time. However, in the end, the Su family was slapped hard, Shengxia died in the end, and those who reached out to Ranxi's mother died even more tragically.

Shi Qingwu silently recalled his interactions with Elder Ranxi, but his memory had become hazy. He thought he probably hadn't offended her.

This was just a minor incident, but Shi Qingwu gritted her teeth and said:
“Su Cheng, the killing of the Grandmaster of Shuojin Kingdom will surely attract the other two Grandmasters. We can take this opportunity to rescue the captured people so that we can continue to team up with the Luo family. If Elder Ranxi can really resolve this crisis, she should not leave us behind.”

Su Cheng's eyelids twitched upon hearing Shi Qingwu's words, but he ultimately accepted her suggestion. They had to stick together now, otherwise they would definitely be defeated one by one by the people here.

The two then turned and sneaked into the temporary encampment of Qingmu Kingdom, heading towards the place where Zhuge Bai was imprisoned.

On the other side, as Dugu He approached the capital, he stopped meditating and instead kept a close eye on Yun Xi, as if afraid she would run away.

Yunxi was truly carried all the way to the capital. During the nearly fifteen-day journey, she didn't eat anything and just lay there half-dead. The eight men were afraid that if they carried back a corpse, they wouldn't receive their reward.

Fortunately, Yunxi finally regained full consciousness as they approached the capital. However, she said she was too badly injured to walk and asked the eight people to continue carrying her.

Dugu He did not object. He was thinking about how to take Yunxi to the place where the formation was set up, because the concealment formation was in the palace.

He didn't hesitate for long before the king's personal guards arrived.

"Grandmaster He, His Majesty wishes to see this person before sending her to be used as an energy stone."

The guard succinctly explained his purpose.

Dugu He's hands, which were behind his back, clenched instantly, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked:

"Has Your Majesty given a reason for seeing her? I must ensure Your Majesty's safety."

The bodyguard shook his head and said:
"Grandmaster He, please forgive me, the King did not inform me."

After considering it for a moment, Dugu He still said:

"Where does Your Majesty wish to meet her? If we meet in the palace, I will be responsible for escorting her there. If we meet outside the palace, I must be present to protect her. This otherworldly person is different from the previous ones; her strength is comparable to mine."

The guard's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he still said:

"His Majesty's intention is to meet outside the palace. I'm sorry to trouble Grandmaster He."

"Okay, I understand. You arrange the place, I'll take her there now."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Dugu He and his party went to the summer resort built by the king outside the capital. This time, Yunxi finally stayed in a room with a tiled roof. She took a pill to restore her divine sense and then lay down.

In the middle of the night, Dugu He knocked on Yunxi's door and took her to the study of the manor, where Yunxi met the King of Chiyang Kingdom.

My darlings, I'm so sorry! Yesterday was a family gathering, and my little niece was so energetic that I only managed to write two chapters. My back hurts today, and I had to lie in bed for ages before I could finally get up and start writing. Playing with such an energetic kid is really exhausting. I'm once again certain that I've entered middle age—so tiring! Three chapters today, see you tomorrow!
