The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"My lord, did you fail to catch up?"

Yi Qianxiao caught up from behind.

She had a very unpleasant fight just now because this Holy Maiden was like an eel!

Jia Daoshi shrugged: "There's no way to catch up."

"My lord, I don't think they'll let this go easily. We'll have to be careful in the future."

At this moment, Di Qinglin, Jia Bing, and Jia Hu also caught up.

"Don't worry, she was seriously injured this time and won't recover so easily. Besides, we know pretty much everything about her methods. Even if she comes again, we don't need to worry too much," Jia Daoshi reassured her.

"Um……"

……

"Wow!"

Somewhere downstream of the stream.

A figure crawled out of the water!

Her white robe was completely soaked by the river, clinging to her body and outlining her long, graceful curves!

"puff!"

A small mouthful of blood spurted out, dripping down the mask and onto the ground. A few drops landed on the white robe on his chest, like plum blossoms in full bloom.

It evokes a poignant sense of beauty.

After landing, the Holy Maiden did not stay in one place, but continued forward and soon disappeared into a dense forest.

They ran a long way before finally giving up and sitting down against a big tree.

The attack from Jia Daoshi and the mechanical snake caused severe damage to her internal organs.

My dantian was almost destroyed!

In particular, this mechanical snake was so large and its surface was so hard that her delicate body simply couldn't withstand it!

If it weren't for her agile movements, extremely strong internal energy, and ability to protect her heart meridian with her true qi, she might have been smashed to pieces when the snake's head rammed into her!

Very helpless!

She never expected that Jia Daoshi would create such a large mechanical snake!

This guy is an absolute beast!

"puff!"

After spitting out a small mouthful of blood, the Holy Maiden felt the chaotic flow of energy within her body gradually stabilize, and the feeling of being on the verge of suffocation disappeared.

After resting against the tree trunk for a while, the pain turned into cold, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

The temperature in the woods at night is indeed very low.

"It's so cold. I haven't felt this way in so many years..." the Holy Maiden murmured, reaching out her small hand to catch a snowflake falling from the sky.

It started snowing again in the mountains at night.

Top martial arts masters can almost all be immune to heat and cold, and even in the cold winter, they can wear only a single layer of clothing.

Someone with Jia Hu's physique might even be able to play shirtless in the snow.

However, if you are injured and your vital energy is severely depleted, then it's a different story.

The Holy Maiden took out a bottle of pills, poured one into her mouth, and then began to sit cross-legged and meditate to heal her injuries.

Soon, white mist appeared around her.

Time passed by minute by minute.

It wasn't until the sky was full of stars that the Holy Maiden awoke from her deep meditation.

"call!"

She let out a long breath and reached out to remove the mask from her face!

Beneath the mask lies a face untouched by worldly concerns.

The Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect, known as a demoness by people in the martial arts world, is a wicked woman who often has one or two poisonous insects crawling out of her body. Yet, she looks like a fairy from heaven, and you can't even feel any earthly air about her in her features!

Because her vital energy was depleted and her internal organs were severely damaged, her face lost its color!

But the more she acts this way, the more endearing she becomes!

It makes a man feel the urge to protect her with his own life!

But this is, after all, a remote and desolate place!

Only on such occasions would she remove her mask.

After wiping the blood off the mask, he put it back on.

"Damn it, it seems this time, recovery won't be so easy."

After trying her luck, she frowned, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Damage to the heart vessels is the most difficult to recover from.

Moreover, some of his ribs were cracked.

"I didn't pay attention to physical training before, and now I'm suffering a great loss in this area."

"After returning, I'm afraid I'll need to rest and recuperate for a while."

"But the Sun Moon Cult is in dire need of rebuilding and requires my presence to oversee and coordinate. It seems that the operation to deal with this bastard will have to be delayed."

"hateful!"

……

After the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Cult caused such a commotion, the manor was tense for a few days.

Jia Daoshi also sent people to search both banks of the river, but they did not find any trace of the Holy Maiden.

After all, keeping this menace alive wasn't in Jia Daoshi's nature.

But clearly, the other party had already gone far away.

After searching several times, there was still not a trace!

"She really is a cunning and beautiful snake!" Jia Daoshi sighed and finally gave up the pursuit.

"So meticulous and vigilant! Who knows what tricks they'll pull next! Looks like we need to strengthen safety training and build a few more mechanical behemoths!"

After exchanging blows with the Holy Maiden, Jia Daoshi roughly figured out what kind of person she was: her physical body was very fragile, she was good at using poison, she used a whip to attack from a distance, and she had excellent movement skills.

"Invent more clever mechanisms and see if she falls for them next time."

……

Just as Jia Daoshi was building the mechanical beast.

Yanzhou!

Moon City!

City Lord's Mansion.

Empress Ji Wuxin sat on the phoenix throne at the head of the table.

"Ok!"

Ji Wuxin placed one hand on the armrest of the phoenix throne and gently tapped it.

Standing before her were the Fifth Prince Wu Quan, the Ninth Prince Wu Qingye, Princess Taiping Ji Bingyan, Prince Zhenbei Shen Li, and Governor of Yanzhou Lü Wende.

Finally, there was a tall, handsome young man, also dressed in a black python robe.

This young man is none other than the eldest prince, Wu Fengju!

"You all probably already know, the Thousand Rock Army has already entered the Four Directions City."

Ji Wuxin's indifferent voice rang out.

The Mantuo Mountain Villa and the Longwu Dynasty's envoy delegation competed, and the Longwu Dynasty's envoy delegation suffered a crushing defeat.

After that, Moon City returned to the Empress's hands.

However, the Longwu Kingdom still showed no intention of letting go of Sifang City on the other side of the river.

Not only did they not give up, they also dispatched the Qianyan Legion of the Longwu Dynasty to garrison Sifang City!

Besides Guo Yang, the Holy Maiden of Longwu Kingdom has also arrived!

This is clearly an attempt to renege on their promise.

The Fifth Prince Wu Quan sneered, "The Thousand Rock Army is the personal guard of General Huo of the Longwu Kingdom. Although Huo Zhitian did not take action himself, he sent his deputy Guo Yang to lead the troops. He really has a thick skin!"

The Qianyan Army was one of the two major military groups in the Longwu Dynasty, and its strength was formidable.

After the meeting at Mantuo Manor, the Longwu Kingdom's troops withdrew from Sifang City, seemingly keeping their promise. However, in reality, Huo Zhitian's soldiers disguised themselves as civilians and entered Sifang City to garrison the city.

Such an obvious deception, who can it possibly fool?

The eldest prince, Wu Fengju, said coldly, "Although they are shameless, doing this will indeed silence the public's discontent."

Shen Li sneered: "That means there's no room for negotiation. If there's no room for negotiation, then let's fight!"
