Chapter 794: Chapter 99: Xiao Qiushui Retreats!_2

At this moment, Zhao Yulong spoke from a great distance, his voice resonating indistinguishably from all directions, intermingling and transmitting.

Echoing thunderously!

“Zhao Yulong, Jiang Ning killed my sister, killed my nephew; this is a deep enmity of blood! Killing for life; this is the way of heaven and earth.”

Xiao Qiushui spoke, and her voice instantly echoed from all directions.

Even though she is a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, at this moment, she needs a sufficient reason.

And avenging her blood relatives is a reason strong enough to make her stand firm.

The grievances of the martial world can sometimes exist independently of the laws of Great Xia, independently of the rules.

“Humph!” Zhao Yulong snorted coldly, “Killing for life? Are you denying the verdict given by the Young Marquis?”

“After revenge, I am willing to guard Changcheng Town for three years!” Xiao Qiushui’s voice fell.

“Dare you!!” Zhao Yulong’s voice exploded.

In the next moment.

Chant—

A dragon’s roar resounded through heaven and earth.

Wind and clouds surged.

Zhao Yulong transformed into a blue dragon, crossing a hundred zhang in an instant.

An anxious look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that if Xiao Qiushui, this newly ascended Heavenly Human Grandmaster, took action, Jiang Ning, even as a Fourth Grade, would die instantly, without any suspense.

Because at this moment, Xiao Qiushui has already stepped into the ranks of Heavenly Human Grandmasters, able to attract the power of heaven and earth to support with every move.

Faced with such a formidable person, ordinary Grandmasters would be hard-pressed to counter her sharpness.

Not to mention Jiang Ning, who has not yet stepped into the ranks of the Grandmasters.

On the other side.

At the Prefectural Governor’s residence!

“Father!!” Wang Qintan furrowed her brows slightly, speaking faintly.

“I know, he still owes you money!” Wang Shouyi replied.

“A lot of money, and I lent him another sum!” Wang Qintan said.

Wang Shouyi helplessly shook his head at her words.

He took the Prefectural Governor’s seal out from his chest with his right hand.

He closed his eyes slightly, the fingers of his left hand resting on the center of his forehead.

In the Holy Temple.

A clay statue of a sage opened its eyes, and immediately a golden light shot up into the sky.

After reaching the sky above the Holy Temple, it instantly cast toward the area where Jiang Ning was.

In a flash.

The golden light spanned across most of the East District, falling over Jiang Ning’s mansion.

What is that!!

Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened.

Xiao Qiushui’s gaze was also drawn to it.

In the next moment.

The golden light dispersed.

A phantom statue appeared in everyone’s sight.

The statue was one zhang tall, with its eyes emitting a faint golden glow.

“Prefectural Governor?” Xiao Qiushui tentatively spoke.

“It’s me!” The statue spoke faintly, then said, “Palace Master Xiao, go back! With everyone watching, no one will agree to your actions today!”

This brief delay put Zhao Yulong only a few hundred zhang away from her.

For these powerful beings, a distance of a few hundred zhang takes only a moment to cover.

She withdrew her gaze from Zhao Yulong and looked deeply at Jiang Ning.

In the next moment, she turned and left.

The vast flowing water returned to the river, emitting roaring sounds.

From the moment Wang Shouyi intervened, she knew that today’s matter could no longer be accomplished.

This was the power of the entire Dongling County.

Since they wouldn’t give her this face, she couldn’t forcibly demand it.

Under such circumstances, if she acted willfully, she knew what the consequences would be.

Watching the departing figure, Jiang Ning’s eyes flickered with an indescribable emotion.

He had thought there would be an unavoidable battle, but he hadn’t expected the matter to end so hastily.

Zhao Yulong and Wang Shouyi both intervened, leaving Xiao Qiushui with no choice but to retreat.

His emotions were immediately complicated.

Then, he slowly shook his head, and the accumulated sword intent dissipated at that moment as he sheathed the long blade again.

He looked up at the sky.

He saw the statue also bowing its head, eyes emitting a faint golden glow.

Their gazes met.

“Thank you, Lord Prefectural Governor!” Jiang Ning cupped his hands.

The statue nodded slightly.

Silently, its gaze fell onto Lin Qingyi, who was covered by a long robe.

Then it turned into a golden light and disappeared.

In just an instant, it vanished without a trace.

Great Xia’s court truly isn’t that simple!

Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.

This method of Wang Shouyi, he had never heard of or understood before.

At the same time.

Zhao Yulong also landed on the high wall.

He glanced lightly at Lin Qingyi, who was covered in robes, and then looked at Jiang Ning, his lips moving slightly.

“Lord Jiang, you get busy first! After you’re done, come to the Master Bai’s residence to see me!”

“Alright!” Jiang Ning nodded, also using the Sound Transmission into Secret Skill.

Then.

Zhao Yulong’s figure flashed, entering the nearby Bai Mansion.

The dust settled.

Jiang Ning looked at Lin Qingyi, only to see Lin Qingyi smiling at him.

“Sister Lin, why do you fight so hard!”

“Since you call me sister, how can I not protect you! That was a Heavenly Human Grandmaster; if I hadn’t intervened to stop him, how would you have survived?”

While speaking, Lin Qingyi slowly got up.

She supported herself with one hand on the ground, the other grabbing the collar of her clothes to prevent them from slipping and revealing her bare skin.

Upon seeing this.

Jiang Ning’s figure flashed, appearing in front of Lin Qingyi.

At this moment, hearing Lin Qingyi’s words, he felt somewhat helpless.

Facing a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, he didn’t claim he could win.

But in terms of self-preservation, he was confident.

With the Perfection of Vajra Immortal Body and his terrifying regenerative ability, he’s invincible in the Innate realm.

To kill him.

They would have to deliver instant death.

But these words, he couldn’t say.

Saying them would seem boastful to others.

A Fourth Grade speaking of self-preservation against a Heavenly Human Grandmaster, no one would believe it.

“Don’t move!”

Jiang Ning bent down to pick up Lin Qingyi.

“Sister Lin, why isn’t the wound healing despite your Grandmaster body?”

He looked down at Lin Qingyi’s thin shoulders, clearly seeing the wound on her shoulder not bleeding anymore, yet not healing.

“Sword Intent!” Lin Qingyi continued, “Xiao Qiushui’s talent is extraordinary, his Sword Intent is close to the Transformation Realm, just a step away. The lingering Sword Intent in the wound prevents it from healing.”

“I see!” Jiang Ning nodded.

Then he carried Lin Qingyi towards her courtyard, continuing to ask.

“How to deal with lingering Sword Intent?”

“Counter it with intent; otherwise, just wait for time to pass and let it gradually dissipate!”

As they conversed, Jiang Ning had already carried Lin Qingyi out of his own courtyard.

They met Liuu Wanwan and Jiang Li head-on.

“Sister-in-law!” Jiang Ning said.

“Ah Ning, are you alright?” Liuu Wanwan looked concerned.

Liuu Wanwan’s gaze then fell on Lin Qingyi.

“I’m fine!” Jiang Ning shook his head and then asked, “Where’s Brother?”

“Brother Li is watching Little Dumpling, he couldn’t come, so I came!” Liuu Wanwan said, glancing at Lin Qingyi.

“Sister-in-law, you should head back! I’m fine here!” Jiang Ning said.

“Alright!” Liuu Wanwan glanced at Lin Qingyi then nodded.

As Liuu Wanwan left.

In his arms, Lin Qingyi showed a stiff smile that tugged at her wound.

“Your sister-in-law is a smart person!”

“Why do you say that?” Jiang Ning asked.

Lin Qingyi shook her head.

…

Moments later.

Jiang Ning kicked Lin Qingyi’s room door open, entered the room, and gently laid her on the bed.

“Don’t move!” He ordered, standing up, and then left the room.

Moments later.

He returned with a steaming basin of water, with a towel inside.

Placing the basin on the stand beside the bed, he wrung the towel to keep it moist.

Lifting one corner of the robe, it revealed Lin Qingyi’s thin shoulder.

The shoulder had a crimson residue of blood; he could see the vicious wound and the flipped flesh.

He gently wiped the bloodstains off Lin Qingyi’s shoulder with the towel. As he touched the wound, Lin Qingyi’s shoulder involuntarily shrank.

“Does it hurt?” Jiang Ning asked.

“It doesn’t hurt!” Lin Qingyi shook her head.

Then she watched Jiang Ning gently wipe away the bloodstains on her shoulder, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“My younger brother knows how to take care of people!”

Jiang Ning continued to carefully wipe away the blood on her shoulder.

From Lin Qingyi’s physical reaction earlier, he noticed touching the wound caused her noticeable pain.

At this moment, wiping away the blood, his emotions were complex, profound.

He knew Lin Qingyi suffered such injuries for him.

Sword Intent invaded, making the wound difficult to heal.

He also clearly felt Xiao Qiushui’s residual Sword Intent inflicting intense pain on Lin Qingyi.
