Yun Kuo was shocked, "How could she be so seriously injured?"
Muttering to himself, Yun Kuo quickly fed Li Yanyan an elixir, tended to her wounds, and pulled a clean dress out of his magical sleeve to help her change. Only then did he gently carry her down from the mountain.
He hadnāt walked far before he found himself surrounded by Nanjiang soldiers.
"Who are you?
Is that baby in your arms the little Lucky Star of Great Han?
Let me tell you, hand her over immediately if you know whatās good for you, or weāll kill you too!"
Yun Kuoās cultivation was not low, and after aiding in dispersing the witch power from the assimilated people of Wangwu Mountain, his cultivation unknowingly broke through another level.
At this moment, he was imposing and expressionless.
"Even such a small child, you dare to harm, you truly deserve death!"
Seeing Li Yanyan, Yun Kuo couldnāt help but think of Xiaosuisui. If his precious niece were slashed like this, how heartbroken would he be?
So, involuntarily, anger flared towards the soldiers before him!
"Deserve death?
I see youāre courting death!
Brothers, capture this man for me, make it quick, once we finish him, we can return and deal with those hiding in the Mountain Cave!"
A man who seemed to be the leader of these Nanjiang soldiers shouted loudly at those surrounding Yun Kuo.
"Yes!"
The soldiers surrounding Yun Kuo responded loudly and then charged toward him.
Yun Kuo, holding Li Yanyan and lacking battle experience, relied on his profound cultivation to entangle with the enemy, soon finding himself at a disadvantage.
There were simply too many Nanjiang soldiers, wave after wave, drawn by the sounds of fighting.
Yun Kuo fought them for half an hour before gradually feeling exhausted.
Worriedly, Yun Kuo thought, these people were like swarms of bugs, relentlessly overwhelming him, offering no chance for a breakthrough!
"Your power is not shallow, just lacking combat experience. Use an attacking talisman in the left direction to blast open a gap first!"
A deep, rumbling voice suddenly appeared in Yun Kuoās mind, like that of an experienced master!
It made him feel alarmed!
Yun Kuo looked around, thinking to himself: Whoās speaking?
"Donāt bother searching, fool, hurry up, if you miss the opportunity, youāll die here today!"
Feeling more apprehensive as he heard this, Yun Kuo hesitated no longer.
Quickly, he took out an offensive talisman, using his limited spiritual power to activate it, successfully blasting a gap, then swiftly escaped with Li Yanyan.
"After him!"
The Nanjiang soldiers yelled furiously, charging after Yun Kuo en masse.
But after Yun Kuo freed himself, how could he be easily caught?
He practiced profound techniques, and with any profound power left within him, as long as he had time to use them, he could teleport!
Though not far, several teleportations within a quarter-hour allowed him to leave the mountain.
The Nanjiang soldiers pursued Yun Kuo but didnāt notice that in the place they attacked him earlier, a snow-white rabbit leapt from a dense tree and dashed in the opposite direction of where Yun Kuo fled.
The masterās dear uncle couldnāt be harmed, or the consequences would be unimaginable if the master got angry, even without her memories she would still destroy everything!
In a pond, the National Master finally awoke slowly, opening his eyes to find himself soaking in the pond with a gigantic creature.
"You... was it you who saved me?"
He recalled hearing the legendary dragonās roar just before he completely lost consciousness, and as a Daoist Sect disciple, he knew the sectās texts contained records of dragons.
Xiaoqing nodded its enormous head.
"Thank you, Divine Dragon senior, for saving my life!"
Xiaoqing shook its giant dragon head; in fact, the reason he rolled from such a high mountain into this cold pond was its fault.
"Divine Dragon senior, did you see a little girl, four or five years old? Sheās injured."
Xiaoqing slightly turned its head to the side, the childās wounds were severeāif she rolled down the mountain, survival seemed impossible!
Oh dear, it broke the rules, the master would surely punish it if she found out!
The master originally preferred to contract with it to prevent random slaughtering!
And now...
Xiaoqing felt conflicted!
"So... you didnāt see her?"
The National Master glanced around but couldnāt find his little discipleās silhouette, panic and anxiety rising within. That child, at such a young age, shielded him from a blade. Though she was usually arrogant, impulsive, loved to compete with the Princess, and often was brash towards the Princess, he never expected that in a life-threatening moment for him, she would do something so brave!
The National Masterās heart felt uneasy!
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life. If thereās ever a chance, I shall repay the kindness. Now Iāve regained some spiritual power and have urgent matters; I must take my leave."
Xiaoqing nodded, gesturing for him to leave.
But internally it thought: Hurry up and go, I donāt want to listen to you ask if your little disciple is dead or alive!
Just as it thought this, the pure white Xiaobai came hopping along.
Seeing it, Xiaoqing didnāt even need to ask telepathically if it found Ji Youzhi before hearing the National Masterās puzzled voice, "Hmm... This rabbit looks a bit familiar to me?"
