"Prince Qi, you..." everyone was stunned again.
Many of the experts they had sent out before were among them.
Now, all those experts were gone, indicating that the envoy's own cultivation far exceeded their expectations.
Or rather, the envoy was protected by someone powerful.
Either way, it meant the danger of this mission.
Did Prince Qi intend to risk himself?
If that were the case...
Prince Qi's cultivation was far more powerful than those experts, and coupled with his perverted liking for killing and tormenting people...
It seemed to make sense...
"Be careful," Elder Li said as he saw Prince Qi's resolve.
"Mm, I will," Prince Qi replied, nodding, his previously violent demeanor changed.
After disguising himself, Prince Qi set off.
Fang Residence.
The main elites were all lost, leaving only some weaklings at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages.
Prince Qi easily sneaked into the inner courtyard.
Without much effort, he successfully located Ye Fan's room.
With a slight flick of his finger, the window opened.
Prince Qi flipped through the window without making a sound.
Upon entering the room, he did not rush to act but first surveyed the surroundings.
Ye Fan was sleeping soundly, and the half jade pendant was hung on the clothes rack by the bedside along with his clothes.
After confirming the jade pendant was real, Prince Qi knew he had found his target.
However, he did not act immediately but first set up a barrier within the room.
In his eyes, the envoy had no cultivation at all, and a mere flick of his finger would be enough to deal with them.
But he didn't do that.
Because he felt it would be meaningless to kill them off so quickly.
Prince Qi's hand slowly reached towards Ye Fan's face.
I heard the envoy never shows their true face, today I shall see what your esteemed appearance is!
[You lazy fish, someone's coming for you, wake up!]
[Hey, I'm awake!]
[If you're like this again, I won't care about you!]
...
Perhaps the system was accustomed to it and had not expected Ye Fan to respond.
After the nagging, it began to work.
Prince Qi's hand was about to touch Ye Fan's face.
A golden light suddenly appeared on Ye Fan's forehead!
The next moment.
"Whoosh—!"
The golden light shot up along Prince Qi's hand!
Prince Qi's heart sank!
Danger!
Unfortunately, by the time he reacted, it was too late!
His body was instantly sent flying out of the window and disappeared in a blink of an eye!
Strangely, the entire process was incredibly quiet, without a single sound.
[You lazy fish, stinking lazy fish!]
[What a carefree soul!]
The system grumbled as it separated a beam of golden light and sent it to the window.
The golden light gently closed the window and then retreated back into Ye Fan's body.
[Sleeping without closing the window, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?]
...
Five li outside the Fang Residence.
"Bang—!"
Prince Qi's body slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a shallow pit more than two inches deep!
Prince Qi clutched his chest with his right hand, his expression looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Pfft—!"
Finally, unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Prince Qi did not dare to delay and quickly got up to fly home.
He knew he had just kicked an iron plate!
He stumbled all the way back to Prince Qi's mansion and collapsed onto the bed in the bedroom.
His condition was now worse than before!
At least five vital meridians were broken, and the true qi within his body had completely lost control, churning madly in his dantian!
If it continued like this, he would surely die within an hour!
Trembling, he took out a communication jade and sent a message to his two sons.
"Hurry back, your father is dying!"
...
A quarter of an hour later, his two sons, having received the message, rushed back.
Upon entering, they both rushed to the bedside.
Prince Qi looked extremely bad at the moment.
His face was terrifyingly pale, and his body twitched intermittently...
"Father, what's wrong?!" the eldest son shouted in panic, "Father, don't scare me!"
"Big Brother, Father's true qi is out of control!" Compared to his elder brother's panic, the second son was much calmer. "Big Brother, let's work together to stabilize Father's true qi!"
"Right, right..." the eldest son replied and quickly helped Prince Qi up.
The two of them struggled for more than half an hour before they managed to stabilize Prince Qi's true qi.
"Pfft—!" Prince Qi spat out another large mouthful of blood.
"Father, what exactly happened?" the second son asked, "Who is so bold to publicly assassinate you?!"
Through the healing just now, he discovered that Prince Qi's injuries were far more severe than they appeared!
Not only were five vital meridians broken, but several cracks had also appeared in his dantian!
Compared to that, the loss of control of his true qi was a minor issue.
With Prince Qi's injuries, if not treated promptly, his cultivation would be completely ruined!
No!
He might even lose his life!
"No one assassinated me..." Prince Qi shook his head and said weakly, "I was careless..."
After Prince Qi's narration, his two sons finally understood what had happened.
"Father, don't worry about the envoy's matter for now," the second son advised. "Focus on your recovery. When Master returns to the mountain tomorrow, I'll ask him for an乌玉丹 (Wu Yu Dan) for you."
"You mean a sixth-grade 乌玉丹 (Wu Yu Dan)?" Prince Qi's expression brightened at the mention.
As a sacred medicine for healing, the effect of the 乌玉丹 (Wu Yu Dan) was undeniable.
If he could obtain a 乌玉丹 (Wu Yu Dan), he would not only be able to save his life but even preserve his cultivation!
"Master dotes on me the most, so asking him shouldn't be a problem," the second son nodded.
"That's great..." Prince Qi breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay back down on the bed.
Due to his injuries, Prince Qi soon fell asleep.
The second son exchanged a look with his elder brother, and they quietly left the room.
"Father was injured like this, we can't just stand by," the second son said after coming outside. "Big Brother, why don't we go and capture that envoy?"
"Good!" the eldest son agreed. "When Father recovers, we'll let him personally torture him for revenge!"
Their own cultivation was a realm higher than their father's. In terms of strength, they could easily overpower their father.
The fact that the other party only seriously injured their father and failed to kill him indicated that their strength was below theirs.
Thus, the two of them flew towards the Fang Residence.
Fang Residence.
In the room, Ye Fan was looking at Liang Rujing, who was sitting by the bed, with a headache.
He had been sleeping soundly when Liang Rujing woke him up.
Liang Rujing had been shaking him and crying, "Ye Fan, wake up quickly, don't die!"
Ye Fan asked and learned that Liang Rujing had a nightmare, dreaming that he was killed...
At this moment, Ye Fan's feelings could only be described by a single image.
Over ten thousand mythical beasts roared past...
And they were still yelping as they ran...
"I'm perfectly fine," Ye Fan said speechlessly. "It was just a dream, and you took it seriously?"
Ye Fan remembered that Liang Dekuai had said before.
Liang Rujing used to act a bit foolish due to a curse.
But now, it seemed like it had nothing to do with the curse at all...
This was just her true nature...
"Phew... That's good," Liang Rujing patted her chest. "Since you're fine, I'll go back to sleep."
After saying that, Liang Rujing walked towards the door.
Ye Fan: ...
Forget it...
She's my granddaughter...
I can't curse...
...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment Liang Rujing turned around, two figures suddenly appeared in the room!
