Chapter 340: Returning to Gu Lei, the Severely Injured Feihuang

Gulei Royal City, on the main official road.

A white steed was galloping at high speed, carrying an unconscious youth on its back; it was none other than Nan Feihuang.

That's right, he had fainted again. There was no helping it; his injuries were simply too severe. Even though the Heavenly Spirit Horse had treated him with its own sacred power, it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.

Therefore, the Heavenly Spirit Horse was also very anxious. This was the master of its future beloved; he absolutely could not have anything happen to him. He had even promised to help play matchmaker for it and Red Hare.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse, having increased its speed to the limit, was running at a pace that did not lose to an Agility Attack System Soul Emperor, and was even approaching the realm of a Spirit Saint.

The guards at the city gate, seeing a horse charging toward the gate at such speed, immediately realized that this was likely not an ordinary horse, but a Spirit Beast, and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast at that.

"What is that? How could a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast charge toward a human city?" The captain of the guard was puzzled, but he still had to fulfill his duty. "The whole team, listen up! Close the city gate, prepare for battle!"

Once a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast charged into the city, the destructive power it would cause would be no joke.

Most of the people inside the city were commoners; if that happened, I fear there would be countless deaths and injuries, so it absolutely could not be let in.

The Heavenly Spirit Horse had no malicious intent. It stopped ten meters away from the city gate. Fortunately, it was of the sacred type, which naturally made people inclined to have a good impression of it, so the city guards did not attack rashly upon seeing this.

"Eh, there seems to be someone on the horse's back. It... it's the Crown Prince!!!" The captain of the guard had seen Nan Feihuang a few times and quickly recognized him.

"The Crown Prince seems to be severely injured. Quickly, go to the Royal Palace and report this to the King and Queen."

The captain issued the order, and someone immediately went to carry it out. He himself walked out of the city gate and gathered his courage to walk in front of the Heavenly Spirit Horse.

"I can feel that you have no malicious intent, and I also believe that it was not you who harmed the Crown Prince. It was you who saved our Crown Prince and brought him back, right? I wonder if you could allow me to take him away. The Crown Prince's injuries look extremely severe; he must be treated immediately."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Spirit Horse walked to the captain's side, turned its body, and handed Nan Feihuang over to him.

It understood what this person was worried about. In any case, a Ten Thousand Year level Spirit Beast could not be easily allowed into a human city. With its intelligence, it could understand this at a glance.

"Many thanks!" The captain picked up Nan Feihuang and rushed back into the city, heading straight for the Royal Palace.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Master with the hawk martial soul from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already returned to the sect with the corpse of Gu Rong.

Inside the Seven Treasure Hall, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo looked at the unrecognizable Gu Rong, their eyes bloodshot and filled with disbelief.

Why would Gu Rong die? He had only gone to capture a mere Nan Feihuang. Could a sixteen-year-old brat the same age as Ning Rongrong really be enough to kill a Super Douluo? "Bone Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, wake up. You must not scare Rongrong, woo woo... Rongrong won't seek revenge on Nan Feihuang anymore, as long as you don't die. If you leave, what will Rongrong do? Do you not want Rongrong anymore?" Ning Rongrong knelt beside the corpse and wailed.

She regretted it so much. Why did she let her grandfather go and trouble that Nan Feihuang? If he had just stayed home properly, it would have been impossible for anything to happen.

Sword Dao Chenxin clenched his fists. "Old Bone's death must be related to Nan Feihuang. Even if he didn't kill him, it was done by someone around him. I must avenge Old Bone."

"Uncle Sword, you must not be impulsive." Ning Fengzhi hurriedly held back Sword Douluo. The Ice and Fire Power on his body had not been undone yet; going to the Gulei Kingdom to find Nan Feihuang like this would be no different from seeking death.

Did he not want revenge? Of course he did! But the situation did not allow for it. Currently, the two great combat powers of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, were one dead and one crippled.

Once this news spread, the sect would face a great disaster. For example, the Lower Four Sects, which had always been eyeing the position of the Upper Three Sects, would definitely join forces to tear the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into pieces.

At this time, they had to endure. They even had to pretend on the surface that they did not know it was the Gulei Kingdom that had acted, and not tear off the mask of civility completely. Afterward, even if they had to pay a massive price, they had to find a way to undo the Ice and Fire Power on Sword Douluo.

Only then would the sect have a glimmer of hope.

A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi could only comfort himself this way.

Sword Douluo was, after all, a Title Douluo. He suppressed the anger in his heart; Fengzhi's worries were all correct. He absolutely could not be impulsive now, otherwise, the sect would suffer a devastating disaster.

Even if they old fellows were not afraid of death, what about Ning Rongrong? She was still so young. Once she lost her backing, her ending—death would be considered lucky; she might even be abducted by other forces to become a plaything, or a breeding machine for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The current Ning Rongrong was immature and lacked independent judgment; when encountering major events, she only knew how to cry and had no ability to stand on her own.

How could Chen Xin rest easy leaving her alone?

Therefore, they must endure now! They had thought it out well, but there was one thing they miscalculated: just because they were willing to endure, it did not mean others would agree.

For example, inside the Gulei Royal Palace, Lan Xue was crying as she looked at the unconscious Nan Feihuang, and Nan Tianchen also had an expression of fury.

They had not expected that their son would suffer such severe injuries just by going out.

The physician had just examined him and discovered that Nan Feihuang's entire skeleton was dislocated, his internal organs were damaged, and his soul power was exhausted.

If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago. It was only because their son was gifted that he could hold on until now.

Ye Lingling was using the full extent of the Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability to treat Nan Feihuang's injuries.

"Huang'er, you absolutely cannot have anything happen to you." Lan Xue prayed while weeping.

Nan Feiling held one of Nan Feihuang's hands tightly and hoped, "Little brother, you must wake up. You are the hope of all of us."

Nan Tianchen punched through the wall in anger. "Bastard! Who exactly is it that dared to hurt my son to this extent? No matter what force you belong to, and no matter how powerful you are, my Gulei Kingdom will fight you to the death!!!"

"Father, please rest assured. We will definitely be able to collect the debt for my husband, but the most important thing now is to ensure that my husband is safe and sound." Lv Lingqi's eyes were red. She was also angry and worried, but she knew what was most important at this moment.

"Father, Mother, Third Sister, Lingling, Xun Yu, and E Lai, please all go out for a moment. I have a way to save my husband."

"Really? Lingqi, do you really have a way?" Lan Xue asked, excitedly grabbing Lv Lingqi's shoulders to confirm.

Lv Lingqi nodded. "I would not joke about my husband's life. He is the most important person in this world to me. I would rather die myself than let him suffer the slightest harm."

"Good, Lingqi, we believe in you. All of us will stand guard outside the door for you. My son is entrusted to you." Nan Tianchen displayed the decisiveness of a head of the household at this moment. He pulled the reluctant Lan Xue away and led everyone out of the room, placing all his hope in Lv Lingqi's hands.
