Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 971 Redemption

Gu Chan looked at the lightning that kept striking down in front of her and said with sudden enlightenment.

"Sister Lao Mei, I know where the light on the other side is."

"Really? Where is it?" Lao Mei said in surprise.

"The lightning that strikes us right in front of our eyes is the light from the other side!" said Gu Chan.

Lao Mei screamed in shock in her mind, in disbelief.

Gu Chan explained, "The bright lights that flash from these lightning strikes come and go quickly. Isn't this what the other shore is telling us? If we want to survive, we must seize these opportunities that come and go quickly on the road of life?"

"Is that so? That's really mysterious. I can't quite understand it." Lao Mei said doubtfully.

Although she could understand what Gu Chan meant, the big problem now was how to use the brief flashes of light produced by the lightning to escape to the other side.

Gu Chan said no more, as if she had made up her mind, "Sister Lao Mei, use all your spiritual energy to protect me. Next, I will rush to the light on the other side and escape from here completely."

"Okay." Lao Mei agreed.

Then, she followed Gu Chan's instructions and used all her spiritual energy to wrap up Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing.

Gu Chan also had an idea and used the Qilin Armor to protect her body. She also used all the spiritual energy in her body to form a second layer of spiritual energy shield outside their bodies.

After doing all this, Gu Chan stood there waiting for an opportunity.

"Bang!"

When another loud thunderclap sounded in the sky above and a lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm fell to the ground, Gu Chan seemed to have gone crazy, and rushed towards the lightning madly with Xuanyuan Qing on her back.

"boom!"

The lightning struck Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing hard.

The powerful lightning struck the two men, exploding instantly with a deafening bang.

The two spiritual shields covering Gu Chan and the other person's bodies were shattered by lightning on the spot. They were also struck by lightning, and their entire bodies emitted dazzling white light.

Afterwards, the two of them turned into a beam of white light and shot up into the sky, completely disappearing on the other side.

As they left, the other side gradually returned to calm and fell into a dark chaos.

At dawn, in the secret room of Tianzong.

"Oh……"

As a rooster crowed, the dense black air in the secret room slowly dissipated, and Gu Chan, Feng Shishi and Yuan Jie, who were lying on the ground in a coma, woke up one after another.

Feng Shishi propped herself up and sat up, reaching out to touch her aching head and said, "My head hurts so much! What's going on?"

"Yeah! I have a terrible headache too, just like I was drunk last night." Yuan Jie also slumped aside and agreed.

Gu Chan slowly stood up from the ground, put her hand on her forehead, and looked at Xuanyuan Qing who was lying on the iron bed.

At this time, the black spots on his skin had completely disappeared, and his skin color slowly changed from the previous pale white to a normal skin color.

Gu Chan put her hand in front of his nose and felt his breath. She found that his breathing had become much stronger. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that my guess is correct. The light on the other side is the lightning. As long as we catch the light released by a lightning, we can rush out to the other side."

"Ms. Gu, what are you talking about? I don't understand!" Feng Shishi said puzzledly.

"Last night, the spiritual herb Higanbana used its powerful spiritual energy to take me to the other side and brought back the soul of Xuanyuan Qing that was trapped there. His life should be out of danger now." Gu Chan explained.

Feng Shishi and Yuan Jie were dumbfounded and could hardly believe their ears.

The two of them quickly stood up from the ground, ran to the iron bed, and checked on Xuanyuan Qing's condition.

As expected, Xuanyuan Qing was no longer in danger of death at this time, and all parts of his body had returned to normal. He was no longer as lifeless as before, with only his last breath hanging on.

"puff!"

Just as the two were feeling surprised, Gu Chan suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then she closed her eyes and fell unconscious to the ground.

Yuan Jie quickly stepped forward and held her in her arms, patting her face and saying, "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'll take her pulse and see how she's doing first." Feng Shishi said soothingly.

After saying that, she immediately stepped forward, squatted down, put her hand on Gu Chan's right wrist, and took her pulse.

After a while, Feng Shishi frowned and said, "This is really strange. The spiritual energy in her body has been exhausted, but she is not dead. Instead, she is still alive. This is completely impossible for a physical practitioner!"

"Yes, once a physical practitioner's spiritual energy is exhausted, not only will his strength plummet, but he may even lose his life," Yuan Jie said affirmatively.

"But she is not! Although she is a little weak now, her strength is still there, but there is no spiritual energy in her body." Feng Shishi said.

Yuan Jie frowned as she listened, having no idea what was going on with Gu Chan.

Feng Shishi withdrew her hand and said, "Forget it. I can't figure out what's going on with her for the time being. Take her to the secret room next door to rest and take good care of her. As for the Ninth Prince, leave it to me."

"Well! Then you must take good care of the Ninth Prince. Miss Gu rescued him with great difficulty, and nothing can happen to him again." Yuan Jie reminded.

"Of course. I will think of a way to send you away after their health conditions improve. As long as the Ninth Prince is alive, there is still hope for Tiancang Kingdom, and the common people will have the possibility of living a good life in the future." Feng Shishi said solemnly.

Yuan Jie nodded without comment.

Then the two of them said no more. Yuan Jie immediately carried Gu Chan to the secret room next door to take care of her.

Feng Shishi stayed in this secret room, using her spiritual energy to penetrate Xuanyuan Qing's body to repair his internal injuries.

On the other side, the two physical training masters who had been searching for Gu Chan for the entire night but could not find any trace of her were helpless and could only return to the imperial study in the palace after daybreak to report the situation to Xuanyuan Long and Yan Li.

When Xuanyuan Long learned that Gu Chan had escaped, he was so angry that he wanted to kill the two warriors on the spot, but Yan Li stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It will be useless even if you kill them now. What's more, they are all ninth-level physical masters. There are not many such masters in our Tiancang Kingdom. The most important thing to do now is to find a way to find that little bitch Gu Cui'er."

"Get out of here! You are lucky today. If the Queen hadn't pleaded for you, I would have killed you." Xuanyuan Long glared at the two strong men and roared.

The two strong men hurriedly thanked Yan Li, and then fled from the imperial study.

Not long after they left, Master Tiancan walked in from outside the imperial study.
