With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"What's wrong with him?" Nangong Wu went up to help him up and found that Li Xun's hands were very hot. "He has a high fever."

"Yes, Princess," a guard with an injured arm said to her.

"Ever since you left, Li Xun has had a fever. The medicine you gave him didn't work. We tried to lower his temperature by wetting a cloth, but it didn't help. By the afternoon, he had a high fever."

Fortunately, you gave us the poison gas, which killed the dozen or so men chasing us. Only then did our superiors dare not come down to arrest us. We then hid in a secret passage in this house and waited for you to return.

"His wound must be severely infected." Nangong Wu looked around the small kitchen, which contained nothing but some dry firewood and moldy weeds.

"Take him to a place to lie down quickly, I'll treat his injuries," she said to Wei Yang and Yu Shulei.

The two looked at each other and then lowered their heads.

"Princess, all the houses here have been destroyed by those people, and the bed is gone."

"The conditions here are too poor; it's not suitable for recuperating. Let's go back to Chenling City now," Bei Chenyan ordered.

Now that things have come to this, they want to turn the tables and take the lead.

"yes!"

Two guards carried Li Xun away.

"Where are Ding Xiulun and Fang Jianxian? Haven't they returned?" Bei Chenyan asked the two guards who remained in Chenling City to keep watch.

Upon hearing his words, the four wounded soldiers' expressions immediately turned grim.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, Ding Xiulun and Fang Jianxian returned this afternoon. They told us that someone was coming this way and that we should hide in the secret passage as soon as possible. Then they went to lure the person away, and they haven't returned yet..."

There were only two of them, and they haven't returned yet. I'm afraid they're probably dead.

"It seems there are still Changyang Temple's henchmen in Chenling City." Nangong Wu stopped in her tracks upon hearing their words. "Should we go find your people?"

Bei Chenyan looked up at the sky; it was already getting dark. "Let's go to Chenling City first and rescue Li Xun."

There were only a dozen or so of them, and they were carrying five wounded soldiers. Nangong Wu also had to save Li Xun, so they couldn't be separated any longer.

"Alright then." Nangong Wu knew that Li Xun's situation was urgent and they couldn't wait any longer.

She brought out the large helicopter again and said to the guards, "All of you, get on."

It's more than 30 li from here to Chenling City. It would take at least half an hour to get there by horse, and Li Xun's injuries can't wait.

Besides, the fact that she owns a helicopter can no longer be hidden, so there's no need to keep it a secret anymore.

"Yes!" Wei Yang hurriedly went up to open the rear cabin door and let the guards carry the wounded up.

Before leaving, Bei Chenyan instructed Wei Yang, "Take one person and stay here to wait for Ding Xiulun and Fang Jianxian. If they encounter danger, do not linger in battle."

If Ding Xiulun and Fang Jianxian are still alive, they will definitely return here, so we need to leave someone here to wait for them.

"Yes," Wei Yang replied, bowing.

Nangong Wu took out five poison gas bombs, put them in a net bag, and gave them to them, saying, "Take care of yourselves."

"Thank you, Princess," Wei Yang said with delight as he accepted the five poison gas bombs. They now knew that Nangong Wu's things were incredibly powerful.

"Walk!"

Nangong Wu and Bei Chenyan boarded the plane and left.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Chenling City.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the city gates had long been closed.

"Rumble... Rumble..."

Nangong Wu parked the helicopter directly outside the North City.

Because the wind was too strong, it kept moving around in the city.

As soon as Yu Shulei got off the plane, he saw that there wasn't a single person on the city wall.

"Go up and open the city gate," Bei Chenyan ordered him.

"Yes." Yu Shulei accepted the order and used his lightness skill to leap onto the city wall.

A moment later, the city gate was opened.

Nangong Xun had already retrieved the helicopter, and the group entered the city.

The people in Shenling City were so frightened by the unusual sound that they closed their doors and windows and didn't even dare to light up their lamps.

After they entered the city, they found that all the shops were closed, so they found the nearest inn.

"Yu Shulei, go knock on the door."

"Yes." Yu Shulei walked to the inn and knocked on the door.

After knocking for quite a while, someone finally opened the door.

The door opened, and a man poked his head out. "What...what do you want to do?"

"Isn't this an inn? We knocked on the door because we wanted to stay," Yu Shulei said.

"We're full. You'd better look for another restaurant," the man said, and then turned to close the door.

"Wait." Yu Shulei's sword blocked the door.

"What...what do you want to do?" The shop owner was so shocked that he took a few steps back.

"I think you're lying." Yu Shulei strode into the inn. "Dare you say that again? Are all the rooms in your inn full?"

Nangong Wu followed her in. "Since the guest rooms are all booked, we won't make things difficult for you. Just stay here in the lobby for the night."

"No...!" The innkeeper knelt down in shock. "If those people find out that our inn has taken you in, my whole family will be killed. Please, spare us!"

"Oh? So you recognize us?" Nangong Wu walked up to him and asked, "Then tell me, who threatened you?"

"We don't know who they are, and we can't say!" The innkeeper shook his head. "Please have pity on our family and try another inn!"

"We're already inside your inn. Even if we leave now, those people probably won't let you go." Nangong Wu took out a small bag and threw it in front of the innkeeper.

"There are twenty taels of gold in this bag, enough to buy five inns like yours, and one hundred taels of silver, enough for your family to move to a better city and open a better inn."

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper looked at the bag with a greedy expression.

Twenty taels of gold plus two hundred taels of silver—even if he stayed in this dilapidated Chenling City for another twenty years, he probably wouldn't earn that much.

"Alright." The innkeeper picked up the small bag, stood up, and said, "From today onwards, this inn belongs to you. I'll go get the land deed and official documents now."

"No need to take it." Bei Chenyan raised his hand. "Since you're so afraid of those people, pack your things and leave with your family now. As for the guests still staying here, don't worry about them."

"Yes, yes!" The innkeeper bowed to them. "There are two guests staying on the second floor and one on the first floor. The rest of the rooms are empty."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left through the back door.

Yu Shulei found a guest room and had someone carry Li Xun in and put him on the bed.

Nangong Wu first took Li Xun's temperature. "It's 39.7°C, a high fever."

Bei Chenyan closed the door and walked over, looking at Li Xun's flushed face with great concern. "How is he?"
