Chapter 143

Heng Xian was very curious: "Something happened in the Imperial Palace, does it have anything to do with us?"

"It does, let's talk as we go." Zhao Ying led the way.

Heng Xian followed behind.

Zhao Ying said, "The war between Sang Guo and the neighboring Xu Guo was all caused by a woman.

This woman is called Dong Ximei, originally a favorite concubine of the Xu Guo Emperor. Once, she went hunting with the Xu Guo Emperor and arrived at the border of Xu Guo.

It just so happened that the Sang Guo Emperor also went hunting, saw this woman, and was amazed, immediately ordering her to be snatched.

The Xu Guo Emperor had fewer followers and was outnumbered, so he had to abandon Dong Ximei and run away. This Dong Ximei then became the favorite concubine of the Sang Guo Emperor.

The Xu Guo Emperor could not bear the humiliation, so he raised the entire nation's army to attack!"

"An angry act for a beauty, a beauty is a disaster; the story is very cliché, but it is indeed very infuriating," Heng Xian nodded, "And then?"

Zhao Ying said, "Then today, Uncle-Master Tai Yilong of the Donghuang Palace saw that this Dong Ximei is a demon, and the elders of various sects are currently surrounding and attacking her!"

Heng Xian frowned: "Another demon?"

Zhao Ying said, "That's right, it is said to be a five-colored chicken demon, born with charm.

The disciples of various sects who didn't arrive in time have all been killed by the demon.

This time, nearly two hundred disciples of various sects have died or been injured. So the elders of various sects are very angry and want to take down this demon first."

Heng Xian nodded.

The two accelerated their speed, flying directly over the tops of the pavilions.

From afar, they saw that in the brightly lit Imperial Palace, above a palace, demonic energy and spiritual power were soaring into the sky, and faint sounds of fighting could be heard.

The closer they got, the more intense the fighting sounds became.

When they arrived nearby, they saw a huge, incomparable phantom of a colored chicken floating above the palace; this chicken seemed to be wearing a huge golden bell.

A dozen elders from various sects were standing in mid-air, waving their palms to cast various restriction seals, looking like they were preparing to seal this demon.

And the tops of other palaces around were filled with disciples from various sects, a sea of people in wide-sleeved robes.

Zhao Ying led Heng Xian to the top of the palace where Lin Shuyu, Ma Buying, Tong Quezi, and others were, greeted them, and sat down.

At this time, the phantom of the colored chicken was screaming angrily, its demonic energy rising and falling, while the elders of various sects were circling around it, continuously casting restriction seals.

The chicken demon's screams were getting weaker and weaker.

Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask, "Is this chicken demon very strong? With so many senior elders acting together, why seal it instead of killing it?"

Ma Buying said, "This chicken demon is in the middle Yuan Dan Realm, very powerful, and has also refined an ancient spirit bell to protect itself. It almost got away; sealing it is already not easy!"

Zhao Ying nodded.

Heng Xian watched silently and suddenly felt a gaze looking at him. He turned his head and saw that he was actually sitting next to Tong Quezi.

At this moment, their eyes met, but Tong Quezi still didn't move her gaze, her eyes cold.

The scene in the tavern room that day surged into his heart, and Heng Xian couldn't help but cough, "Hello, Senior Sister Tong."

Tong Quezi then turned her head away and ignored him.

The chicken demon phantom on the palace was getting smaller and smaller, and its screams were getting fainter.

Heng Xian scanned the disciples of various sects on the tops of the surrounding palaces, but only the Da Luo Holy Sect was missing. After thinking for a moment, he felt it was necessary to go and see Ji Yaoyue, so he asked, "Where is the residence of the Da Luo Holy Sect?"

Ma Buying, the know-it-all, replied casually, "The Minister of Revenue's Mansion; from here, go west out of the Imperial City area, and it's half a street south."

Heng Xian nodded, greeted them, and leaped off the palace.

Leaving the Imperial Palace, he followed the address to find it. On the way, he met some small vendors selling things.

Heng Xian pondered for a moment, bought a few baskets of fruit and a bunch of strange blue flowers, and then headed straight for the Minister of Revenue's Mansion.

Arriving at the place, he found that the style was similar to that of the Minister of Rites' home, and although he thought someone would stop him, the way was surprisingly clear.

Finally, he was led by a Da Luo Holy Sect female disciple with a strange look to a side courtyard, and she whispered, "Senior Sister Ji is seriously injured. She went to look for someone this morning, fainted when she returned, and just woke up.

This Tianyuan Sect senior brother, if you don't have anything important, just put the things down and leave; don't disturb Senior Sister's rest."

Heng Xian was serious: "The matter is very important, I must see her in person."

The female disciple obediently reached out: "Please!"

Heng Xian stepped into the courtyard and knocked on the door.

A weak voice came from inside from Ji Yaoyue: "The door isn't locked, come in!"

Heng Xian pushed the door and entered. He saw a night-luminescent pearl lighting the room, which was decorated quite luxuriously. On the large bed in the innermost part, Ji Yaoyue was wearing a white undergarment, lying obliquely, her face waxen, her waterfall-like long hair scattered on the pillow, looking with a kind of sickly beauty.

When Ji Yaoyue first saw a man enter, she pulled up the quilt abruptly. When she saw it was Heng Xian, she was stunned, then her face was full of joy, and she struggled to sit up.

"Don't!" Heng Xian quickly stepped forward, placed the fruit on the table, and helped her lie back down.

Ji Yaoyue grabbed one of his hands tightly and said seriously, "I went to look for you today, heard you hadn't returned, and worried for a long time, but I really couldn't stand up."

Heng Xian then discovered that Ji Yaoyue's shoulder was a bloody mess, and he couldn't help but frown: "The injury is so serious?"

Ji Yaoyue shook her head and smiled, "As long as you can return safely, even if Yaoyue's injury is a bit more serious, it doesn't matter."

She held his hand very tightly, looking at Heng Xian with very serious eyes.

Her slender figure, pretty and exquisite face, noble temperament, and persistent and devoted gaze.

Heng Xian's heart softened more than half, he took a step back, and held the flowers with both hands: "For you!"

"Pfft—"

Ji Yaoyue also took them with both hands, sniffed them, and laughed happily: "So fragrant, who did you learn this from? Visiting a patient and actually bringing flowers and buying fruit!"

Heng Xian was surprised: "Then how should one visit a patient?"

Ji Yaoyue carefully placed the flowers aside and said, "The people I've seen all send medicinal pills, spirit crystals, rare treasures, cultivation techniques, spirit weapons, and magic treasures.

However, what you sent is more sincere and more interesting than everyone else's, hehe."

Heng Xian said, "I didn't expect Princess to be so good at talking, excuse my ignorance!"

Ji Yaoyue tilted her head: "Then do you think it's better for a girl to be good at talking, or not good at talking?"

Heng Xian sat to one side: "I think, neither too much nor too little talk is good; like Princess, it's just right."

"Hehehe..." Ji Yaoyue covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and that "Senior Brother Sun" walked in with three or four people, his face full of anger: "Tianyuan Sect brat, you're looking for my junior sister again!"

Heng Xian chuckled: "I came to visit, is there a problem?"

"Senior Brother Sun" sneered: "Others are fine, but you are not; I think you have bad intentions."

"Cough cough..." Ji Yaoyue couldn't help but say: "Sun He, you are meddling too much; Junior Brother Heng came to see me, I am very happy!"

Sun He was stunned: "Junior Sister Ji, I'm doing this for your own good; this kid looks like a slicker, and you actually call me by my name?"

Ji Yaoyue seemed to have no strength left, lay down, and beckoned to Heng Xian.

Heng Xian couldn't help but walk to the bedside. Ji Yaoyue grabbed his hand tightly and placed it on her face: "I can't hold on anymore, the situation in this Sang Guo is not right, there are too many demons; you must be careful in everything these next few days..."

Saying this, she revealed a charming smile and fell into a deep sleep.
