Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 296 Xue Ke, the Incurable

After descending from the Bone-Transformed Divine Dragon, the group entered Heaven Dou City and soon arrived at the most bustling street.

The bustling streets have been isolated by the Tiandou authorities, and the usual hustle and bustle is gone.

The battle area, along with the surrounding area, had been cleared of debris, and all personnel had been evacuated. Apart from the collapsed buildings, the area was deathly silent.

"stop!"

A man in armor blocked Ning Fengzhi and his group's path.

Before the soldier could speak, Ning Fengzhi handed him a token. Upon receiving the token, the soldier's pupils contracted, and he then returned it apologetically.

"I am very sorry, Sect Leader Ning, but His Majesty's orders are for us to protect this place."

As an ordinary soldier, he didn't recognize such an important figure as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nor did he know what he looked like.

But the special patterns engraved on the token made it realize what was going on.

Ning Fengzhi is a well-known imperial tutor throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.

"It's alright, you did a great job," Ning Fengzhi said. "This lady next to me is Tang Yuehua, the founder of Yuexuan. We'd like to see what's inside, please make way for us."

"You flatter me." The armored man quickly stepped aside, waving his hand to signal the people behind him to disperse and make way for Ning Fengzhi and his group.

The group arrived near Yuexuan with ease.

The area has been cleared, but you can still tell from the collapsed buildings and walls that a fierce battle took place there.

Tang Yuehua stared blankly at her "hard work," while Ning Fengzhi asked the soldiers next to him about the wounded and dead.

The news that only Princess Xueke of Yuexuan survived the attack, and that all the residents within several kilometers of the area, including the original staff of Yuexuan and all the nobles who were in Yuexuan that day, had died, was obtained.

After Tang Yuehua came to her senses, Ning Fengzhi told her the information he had found out.

"Xue Ke is still alive..."

Tang Yuehua wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Sect Leader Ning, could you please take me into the palace? I would like to see Xue Ke."

"Yes, that's for sure." Tang Yuehua is Xue Ke's teacher. Although she only teaches etiquette, they have a teacher-student relationship of two and a half years. When they go to see Xue Qinghe, they will definitely bring her along.

So, the crowd set off for the palace in a grand procession.

Because of Ning Fengzhi's status, he was not hindered in any way and entered the palace without any obstacles.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, Ning Fengzhi saw Zi Ji, a woman in a long purple dress with a mature and elegant appearance.

"Your Majesty, we have come to see His Majesty, but we don't know..."

"Come with me."

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Zi Ji nodded and led Ning Fengzhi and the others to Xue Qinghe's usual residence in the palace.

Xue Qinghe had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi, Xue Qinghe first bowed to him:

"Teacher, I'll leave the rest to you." Ning Fengzhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xue Qinghe bowing specially.

However, he quickly calmed down.

Ning Fengzhi was also very curious as to why Xue Qinghe seemed to value Xue Ke so much.

Sigh, these young people nowadays...

I don't understand!

Before long, Ning Fengzhi and the others saw Xue Ke, who was unconscious and asleep.

"Teacher, thank you for your help in checking." Xue Qinghe stepped aside, leaving the bedside seat for Ning Fengzhi.

"Sigh..." Ning Fengzhi sighed and took out his Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

When a Soul Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda reaches the Seven Treasures Wish-Fulfilling Realm, that Soul Master possesses a certain degree of healing ability.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi is now at the Eight Treasures Realm.

After floating on Xue Ke for a while, the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda returned to Ning Fengzhi's hands.

"Teacher, how is it?" Xue Qinghe asked urgently.

"The injuries themselves aren't serious; it's just that the special energy that invaded my internal organs is something even I can't do anything about."

Given Xue Ke's condition, she should have died long ago.

It was actually in a state of suspended animation, as if someone had pulled it back from the brink of death.

"Senior Renxin, Elder Dugu, you've come to take a look too." Ning Fengzhi was the sect leader, and the two people next to him were also medical experts.

After Ning Fengzhi stepped aside, Dugu Bo stepped forward to check.

After a moment, he shook his head and came up with a similar answer to Ning Fengzhi.

Next came Ye Renxin, holding a nine-hearted begonia, as the petals of the begonia fell.

Xue Ke emitted a faint light, the color of which made the entire room exceptionally bright, and everyone felt warm.

After a while, the light disappeared.

The Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul returned to Ye Renxin's hands, and Ye Renxin shook his head:

"Your Majesty, Princess Xueke has suffered internal injuries, and too much time has passed. I'm sorry, I have no way to help her."

The Nine-Heart Begonia also has its limitations. It can be said to bring people back to life and heal the wounded, but that's just talk.

The abnormal energy within Xue Ke's body invaded her internal organs, leaving her in a state of semi-death with no way to help her.

That particularly strange and chilling energy cannot be cured unless it is expelled.

"Damn it!"

Xue Qinghe slammed his fist against the wall beside him, his face filled with indignation. "Who on earth is it that wants Xue Ke dead?"

Xue Qinghe subconsciously glanced at Ning Rongrong, whose presence seemed insignificant.

"Rongrong, do you have any ideas?"

Silence, a long silence.

Ning Rongrong spoke up, "What invaded Xue Ke's body was a malevolent aura mixed with resentment, and it has been there for far too long. What are the possible solutions..."

"It is said that when a martial soul undergoes a mutation, the soul power within the body will perform a comprehensive cleansing of the body. If this is done in this way, it may be possible to remove the evil energy from the internal organs."

"This is what Kurumi said, and I'm not sure if it's possible to do it."

Ning Rongrong could tell that Xue Qinghe genuinely wanted to save Xue Ke, and that it wasn't just an act, but as for matters like martial soul evolution, it was best to just think about it.

Even with his two older brothers consuming so many elixirs and immortal ingredients, they still couldn't add a layer to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Basically, Xue Ke's situation is hopeless.

There seemed to be a soul bone inside Xue Ke's body that was over ten thousand years old, and the fluctuations it emitted were somewhat familiar to Ning Rongrong.

It seems to be one of the two soul bones that I gave to Dugu Bo so that he could use it to repay a favor to Prince Xuexing. It was obtained through a trade with Tang Hao.

A sacred defensive soul bone.

"A mutated martial soul?"

Xue Qinghe first showed a surprised expression, but then fell silent after a few seconds.

Regardless of whether Ning Rongrong is setting herself up, Martial Soul mutation is not an easy thing to achieve, and even if it succeeds, it will usually only be a positive mutation. The kind of mutation that some self-proclaimed "master" would not work.

Of course, it's also possible that it's not that the martial spirit has become worse, but rather that the person is too weak to carry the team.

After discussing Xue Ke's condition in detail, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, and the others left.

Tang Yuehua requested to stay in the palace because she wanted to take care of Xue Ke and learn about the specific events that had occurred during this period, and Xue Qinghe did not refuse.

She is, after all, the daughter of the former sect leader of the Haotian Sect; who knows when she might come in handy.
