Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 517 - 416

Chapter 517: 416

"So many? They are already here?" Li Xuan looked at the Administrative Commissioner of Huguang in surprise. "Did Lord Ming arrange this?"

"It’s simply better to be prepared than not," Ming Yuzhen bowed slightly. "They believe it is every man’s responsibility in the rise and fall of the world. There are already many scholars from Huguang carrying swords against the water demon, protecting the common people. I just made some preparations in advance when I heard that Earl Jingan was leading the disaster relief. I have gathered scholars from all the cities along both sides of the river here."

Li Xuan then turned his hopeful eyes to the administrator from Yunyang. As the administrator system was just beginning to take shape, the Yunyang administrator had control over the military and civilian affairs of the five surrounding regions of Hubei, Henan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi. This Yichang City is within his jurisdiction.

However, this older administrator, with his white beard, appeared embarrassed, "There are more than seventy people in Yichang City who have received official recognition of their scholarly abilities, and three hundred students. They are all at Earl Jingan’s disposal. Besides, I can gather another five hundred students within the next two hours."

Li Xuan was somewhat disappointed, but he slightly nodded and said, "I appreciate the effort of both of you. Please set them up in a high place prepared for the collective recitation of the Song of Righteousness."

In his mind, he supposed that it would be enough. As back in Nanjing City, he had only five thousand students from Guozi Bureau, but they enabled him to reach the heavenly level.

Of course, at that time, he also had the Sub-Sage, Master Yu, in his Heart Asking Bell, and the residual power of many great scholars at his disposal. However, Li Xuan now has outgrown his former strength. His own power, as well as his mastery of the Great Rectitude, far surpasses his previous abilities.

Once this matter was sorted, Li Xuan carried Luo Yan’s delicate body to the bank of the river, looking for Jiang Yunqi’s medical assistance. At this time, Jiang Yunqi, Ao Shuying, and others were either sitting quietly to recover or meditating with their eyes closed.

After conducting an examination on Luo Yan, Jiang Yunqi’s brows furrowed, and with a hint of admiration, he said, "Her heart and mind are tenacious, exceptional to the ordinary."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Li Xuan; "She has been attacked by the fiery poison. Her Shenpo has been grievously injured, and her Qi and bone marrow have been damaged. Although I can treat her, she must not move for the next three days, and it would be best if she does not engage in any battles for the next month, otherwise, there will be lingering issues."

The aspect Jiang Yunqi admired about Luo Yan was her tenacity and willpower, despite her organs and elemental spirit being scorched by the poisonous blaze, to persist in shattering Master Jiudeng’s golden body.

In that condition, Luo Yan had to endure the immense pain of internal combustion for every moment she persisted.

Hearing this, Li Xuan sighed a bit of relief and deeply bowed; "I am grateful, uncle."

Jiang Yunqi nodded and began acupuncture treatment on Luo Yan.

At this moment, he felt a mixed sense of emotion.

This unconscious girl before his eyes was not only Li Xuan’s confidante but was also able to perfectly synchronize with him, their hearts resonating with each other.

This was a direct threat to his daughter, the equally or more so than Yu Hongshang and Xue Yunrou.

Jiang Yunqi could only sigh that Li Xuan was too outstanding, attracting many girls blessed with both appearance and martial prowess.

Now, if it were not for Jiang Hanyun’s half-demon body, and their "Shentian duality cultivation method" which had reached a point of no return, he would surely advise his daughter to maintain a respectful distance.

If things have come to this now, he wondered, what would happen in the future?

Of course, he knew that although his daughter seemed indifferent, her heart was indeed tied to the rascal. However, as a proud person, she was too focused on Martial Law and the cases of the Liudao Division.

If they terminated their relationship, Jiang Hanyun would probably be secretly dispirited for a while, but it is better than being hurt by Li Xuan later, he made his point.’

He did not believe that his naive daughter could emerge victorious from this competition.

The pity was that a few months ago, due to the deception of the Heart Asking Bell and Tingtian Ao, he missed the best opportunity.

Now they could not stop the practice; the cultivation of the Shentian Dual Essence Technique would greatly benefit both Li Xuan and Jiang Hanyun. However, if they stopped halfway, it would cause a significant backlash for both of them.

Especially with Hanyun, she would certainly be a demon, and her Primordial Spirit would be damaged. Then, she would not have the chance to achieve the heavenly level in the next fifteen years.

At this moment, Li Xuan frowned, looking at everyone here with a touch of concern.

Since they did not succeed in killing Xiangyue this time, they had to face a dangerous situation again.

Although many heavenly figures are gathered here, in fact, the camp is full of injured soldiers.

Apart from Luo Yan, Li Chengji has accumulated serious injuries and is currently sitting quietly, healing with the help of an elixir.

After all, he was not a true heavenly being, his physical strength was insufficient.

Furthermore, during the attempts by Wu Zhiqi, Bashe Changze, and Xiangyue to break free from the Ice Style’s suppression, they all targeted Li Chengji, as he was the weakest figure present.

Ao Shuying was even more badly wounded. The poison injuries all over her body were beyond Jiang Yunqi. He could only temporarily suppress them.

The Immortal Master Shuide, who was coming next, could only leave about 70% of his strength at most.

Yu Hongshang could not continue the fight either. Although their three consecutive fights were brief, Yu Hongshang had to give a full effort each time. But the power of the three Demon Kings in their struggles was formidable, not to be underestimated.

Even Xue Yunrou also depleted a large amount of Yuan Qi when she confined Xiangyue with the Taoist technique earlier.

"Qiluo," Li Xuan, full of helplessness, turned to look at the little girl with the green sword, "Is there really no way to help them recover?"
