“What are you looking at?”
Ye Kunlun turned his head, looking indifferently at Nalan Mingyue, who was gazing at his cheek, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Kunlun turned his head back, and as he spoke, the scorching air current made her cheeks feel hot, so she quickly turned her head back. "Nothing."
“So, your coma is very likely related to when you stepped into the barbaric territory?” Ye Kunlun rubbed his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face as he asked.
Nalan Mingyue shook her head. "I don't know. Besides this, I can't think of any other abnormalities."
“Is it convenient? Can you take me to the place where you fought back then?”
Ye Kunlun thought for a moment and decided to let Nalan Mingyue take him there. Perhaps he would find something.
Nalan Mingyue was taken aback. She met Ye Kunlun's gaze again and asked, "Are you investigating the barbarians?"
Ye Kunlun did not conceal it and nodded.
After thinking about it, Nalan Mingyue didn't ask any further questions. She knew Ye Kunlun had important matters to attend to in the Northern Territory.
“Don’t you mind if I eat something first?” Nalan Mingyue touched her stomach.
After not eating for half a month, the first thing anyone would do upon waking up was to fill their stomach.
——
At this moment, five kilometers west of the Northern Territory War Department, in another camp.
“Your Highness, your subordinate, your subordinate is useless.”
Cheng Fei’s face was pale, and he knelt on both knees before a thin middle-aged man.
The man had a fair complexion and a mustache, appearing somewhat refined, like a scholar from ancient times.
This person was the King of the Northern Territory, who had lived in the Northern Territory War Department for many years!
The King of the Northern Territory had a refined appearance, but his eyes carried a bone-chilling coldness.
Looking at Cheng Fei, who was kneeling before him in a disheveled state, he said in a cold voice, “What happened? You couldn’t even deal with Nalan Mingyue?”
“Your subordinate is incompetent. Yanzi found a divine doctor from somewhere who not only healed Nalan Mingyue but also crippled this subordinate’s arm!”
Cheng Fei trembled all over, his eyes filled with hatred. “Your Highness, give your subordinate another chance, and I will definitely eliminate Nalan Mingyue.”
The King of the Northern Territory clasped his hands, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.
“What was the name of the person you mentioned?”
“Ye Kunlun!” Cheng Fei replied.
“Ye Kunlun?” The King of the Northern Territory’s fingers stiffened, and two sharp glints flashed in his eyes as he gazed at Cheng Fei. “You said his name is Ye Kunlun?!”
Cheng Fei was startled by the King of the Northern Territory’s expression and tone, and he replied hastily, “Yes, his name is Ye Kunlun. This subordinate heard Nalan Mingyue call him that!”
“He actually came to the Northern Territory.”
A look of excitement actually appeared in the King of the Northern Territory’s eyes. “Heh heh… I never expected he would really come to the Northern Territory. It seems I don’t need to return to the capital to get rid of this person. Heh heh… This is interesting, the Northern Territory is going to be fun now!”
Cheng Fei was somewhat bewildered.
“Your Highness, you… you have a grudge with Ye Kunlun?” Cheng Fei subconsciously asked.
The King of the Northern Territory chuckled. “A grudge? No, how could this king have a grudge with the King of Shanhe, who was personally appointed by Shanhetian? Wouldn’t you agree?”
Cheng Fei was startled.
The King of Shanhe?
Ye Kunlun was actually the King of Shanhe, personally appointed by the Sage of the Heavenly Emperor from Shanhetian? The only King of Shanhe in a hundred years!
He had actually yelled at the King of Shanhe and even threatened him?!
Cheng Fei felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell twice.
“No…” Cheng Fei shivered.
The existence of the King of Shanhe was an insult to the Twelve Kings. The King of the Northern Territory before him would absolutely not let Ye Kunlun leave the Northern Territory alive.
“Your Highness, your subordinate is willing to serve you like a dog!”
Cheng Fei came to his senses. Ye Kunlun had crippled his arm and slapped him twice.
Only the King of the Northern Territory could avenge him for this.
The King of the Northern Territory rubbed his hands excitedly, chuckling non-stop. “This king has been in the Northern Territory for so many years, and it’s been so boring. Finally, someone interesting has arrived.”
“Your Highness, what should we do?”
Cheng Fei’s eyes showed anticipation.
“Let me think carefully about how to deal with this prey…”
——
Nalan Mingyue drank two bowls of millet porridge, her complexion improved significantly, and she regained some strength.
She even felt that her strength seemed to have increased, especially her understanding of spear techniques.
At this moment, the spear intent in her sea of consciousness was more restless than ever, as if it wanted to rush out of her body.
“You should find a place to digest it first,” Ye Kunlun said indifferently, looking at Nalan Mingyue.
When he dispelled that wisp of strange aura in Nalan Mingyue’s sea of consciousness, he had touched the spear in her sea of consciousness and left a trace of spear intent on it.
Originally, he thought Nalan Mingyue would discover the spear intent in the spear after some time, perhaps even years.
But he did not expect her to sense it so quickly.
It had to be said that Nalan Mingyue was a good seed for practicing spear techniques.
Nalan Mingyue was not overly polite. She got up and left the simple house, quickly heading towards a spacious area in the distance.
Whoosh—
Under the vast sky, starlight shone brightly.
Nalan Mingyue held a dark spear, which whistled in the wind, like a black dragon that had broken free, roaring and venting its power upon the world!
In the distance, Ye Kunlun’s pupils reflected Nalan Mingyue dancing with her spear.
With every move Nalan Mingyue made, there was an invisible flow of momentum.
“This girl is about to break through,” Ye Kunlun murmured to himself. He could tell that Nalan Mingyue was close to breaking through the Grandmaster realm and entering the Spirit Opening realm.
However, in the depths of the Northern Territory, the spiritual energy was also thin.
If Nalan Mingyue wanted to break through to the Spirit Opening realm with her own strength, the spiritual energy was simply insufficient.
Nalan Mingyue’s spear danced faster and faster. Soon, her figure and the shadow of her spear became indistinguishable.
At the same time, sounds like roaring black dragons echoed, which were the spear intents released by the spear in her hand.
Nalan Mingyue did not realize she had entered a state of self-forgetfulness. She only felt that all her strength and mind were immersed in the spear in her hand.
That spear let out an angry roar, as if it wanted to vent something!
A trace of surprise appeared in Ye Kunlun’s eyes. He had not expected Nalan Mingyue to be able to enter the special state of “unity of heaven and man” where one forgets oneself.
This kind of self-forgetting unity of heaven and man was like an epiphany for a cultivator, something that could be encountered but not sought!
It would greatly enhance one’s comprehension of cultivation!
At this moment, Nalan Mingyue was immersed in her comprehension of the spear, and she could even no longer distinguish the spear from herself!
“Forget it, I’ll help this girl.” Ye Kunlun sighed softly.
Tonight, if he didn’t help Nalan Mingyue, her spear intent would still improve, but she wouldn’t be able to enter the Spirit Opening realm!
Ye Kunlun flicked his finger, and terrifying spiritual energy flowed like water, integrating into the air around Nalan Mingyue.
As the black spear danced, the spiritual energy was stirred up, forming a giant vortex.
Suddenly, a gateway within Nalan Mingyue’s body seemed to open, and the spiritual energy forming the vortex surged like a tidal wave towards her Dantian!
Roar—
Nalan Mingyue let out a long roar, the sound of which carried for several miles!
“Ye, Mr. Ye, what’s wrong with the Major General?”
Yanzi heard the roar and asked Ye Kunlun with some nervousness.
“She is undergoing a transformation!” Ye Kunlun replied indifferently to Yanzi.
That’s right, Nalan Mingyue was undergoing a great transformation at this moment.
The spiritual energy entered her Dantian, flowed from the Dantian to her limbs and bones, cleansing and widening her meridians.
An endless stream of power surged from her Dantian.
The spiritual energy flowed along her arm and into the black spear!
Roar—
As she gently danced, the sound of the spear in her hand changed, emitting a whistling sound like a dragon’s roar.
Yanzi shivered and stammered, “What a terrifying spear!”
“She was born to wield a spear.”
Ye Kunlun looked at Nalan Mingyue, his tone filled with a hint of admiration.
