In this Imperial Preceptor's residence, there was only one person who could cause this kind of lethality – the Hundred Faces Star Lord.
Tang Zheng looked around and didn't find Junko's figure among the corpses. He didn't know whether she escaped or was killed.
In a flash, everyone finally came to the edge of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Tang Zheng and Li Xiaotian looked at each other and were overjoyed, exclaiming, "The thick fog is gone."
There was no fog in front of them, and the winding path extended forward under their feet.
"It must be the Hundred Faces Star Lord who broke the protective formation of the Imperial Preceptor's residence." Tang Zheng guessed.
Li Xiaotian nodded, this was the only explanation.
If they rushed out, then everyone could escape.
Tang Zheng stopped and looked back. The faint sound of fighting could be heard, but he didn't know what the situation was.
"Should we wait for him?" Tang Zheng asked.
Lan Yu looked back deeply and said resolutely, "No, he will definitely find a way to escape and then come find us."
As a couple for decades, Lan Yu still had strong confidence in Wu Junshan.
"Well, then we will go first." Tang Zheng didn't hesitate and waved his hand, and everyone left the Imperial Preceptor's residence along the winding path.
When he saw the bustling streets again, Tang Zheng felt as if he was in a different world, and the others also felt their bodies relax.
Speaking of which, this time they really had to thank the Hundred Faces Star Lord. If he hadn't come to disturb them, they would have to go through a bloody battle to escape from Yamata no Orochi, and perhaps more people would be sacrificed.
Now, it was the best result.
"I will go first." Li Xiaotian looked at Tang Zheng and said goodbye with a complicated expression.
Tang Zheng looked at her deeply and said, "Next time, don't let me see you again."
Li Xiaotian revealed a bitter smile. "I'm afraid that will be very difficult to achieve."
In the end, the Li Palace and Tang Zheng were already standing on opposite sides of each other. Given the style of the Li Palace, Li Xiaotian was well aware that it was absolutely impossible for the two sides to meet. Perhaps the next time they met, the situation would be even grimmer. Victory and defeat would be decided, perhaps even … life and death.
This was no longer something she could control.
Tang Zheng also understood this point and said in a deep voice, "Then you should take care of yourself. When the time comes, life and death will depend on your own ability."
Li Xiaotian was speechless. He turned around and disappeared into the sea of people.
Looking at the direction she disappeared in, Tang Zheng could not help but feel a little complicated. Both of them had gone through so much to reach this point in the end. It was really fate that made fools of people.
"Let's go as well," Tang Zheng said, calming himself down.
This group of people was like a clay ox entering the sea in the crowd. They did not cause much of a ripple as they quickly distanced themselves from the Imperial Advisor's Mansion.
As night fell, everyone arrived at a remote residence. After confirming that no one else had discovered their whereabouts, they knocked out the owner and moved in.
It was already inconvenient for so many people to stay in a hotel, but they couldn't travel long distances because the most important thing right now was to save Wu.
Wu was already on the verge of death. The Gu worm had completely wrapped around her heart, and it could stop beating at any time.
Lan Yu stroked the hair on Wu's forehead and said emotionally, "This child, Wu, has had a tough life since he was young. I never thought that he would have to suffer like this today.
Tang Zheng could not hide the pain in his eyes. In his mind, he could not help but recall bits and pieces of her. It was like a movie, flashing back and forth.
Whoosh!
He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I promised to save her. I must find a way to get along with her."
"Right, we definitely can't just watch her lose her life like that." Lan Yu nodded in agreement, but immediately frowned, "I don't know the way of the Apricot Forest, so I'm helpless. Tang Zheng, do you have a way?"
Tang Zheng calmed down and started to think. His medical skills were only half-baked, so he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this Gu worm.
The Gu technique was a type of magic, and in the end, saving her would still depend on magic.
What kind of magic could he use?
For a moment, he was in a terrible fix and had no clue.
"I have to give it a try no matter what. Since the Gu worm has such a huge reaction to the Innate Qi, it might be because it's afraid of my Innate Qi."
Tang Zheng's heart moved, and he decided to take the risk.
A strand of Innate Qi followed his meridians and arrived at Wu's heart. Immediately, the Gu worm's reaction became intense. Its ugly body quickly shrank inward, trying to avoid Tang Zheng, as if it wanted to drill into Wu's heart.
"Damned Gu worm, come out."
Tang Zheng's expression changed slightly. His Genuine Qi surged and wrapped around one of the tentacles, trying to pull the Gu out.
However, the head of the Gu worm had already drilled into his heart, leaving Tang Zheng helpless.
"Ah!"
Martial suddenly let out a mournful scream, his body convulsing.
Lan Yu's expression changed greatly as she shouted, "Wu …"
Martial's eyes were tightly shut, unable to reply. She was already on the verge of death, her consciousness weak.
"Tang Zheng, how is it?" Lan Yu asked anxiously.
Tang Zheng's forehead was already covered in sweat. He said, "It's not easy. I'll do my best."
"You must save her."
Tang Zheng nodded and mobilized even more True Qi to wrap around the entire heart. He tried to drill into the heart and destroy the Gu worm.
Suddenly, Martial's body stopped twitching, and even his breathing became very weak. His heart almost stopped beating.
"Shit! This Gu worm is up to something. "
The Gu worm had obviously sped up the speed at which it killed its host.
Helpless, Tang Zheng could only withdraw his Genuine Qi from her heart. Her heartbeat sped up a bit, and her breathing became a bit stronger.
Tang Zheng was like dead ash, he was extremely dejected, this method still did not work.
Looking at Martial who was like a sleeping beauty, and clearly feeling the life force gradually fading from her body, Tang Zheng felt as if a knife was being twisted.
Lan Yu sighed inwardly. She understood the feeling of being unable to reverse the situation. Back then, when Tang Zheng "died", she had almost collapsed and had nothing left to live for.
At this moment, Tang Zheng's mood was not much different.
Lan Yu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "If Martial knew about your feelings for her, even if there was nothing she could do, she would still be very gratified. Although the two of you usually don't get along, I can tell that she likes you. "
Tang Zheng did not say a word, but his heart ached even more.
"It's a pity that the heavens are not on your side. Otherwise, the two of you would really be a match made in heaven. Perhaps, the heavens are truly jealous of you, which is why they forcefully separated you two."
"I promised her that I would save her." Tang Zheng said in a daze.
Lan Yu's eyes were moist as she choked with sobs and said, "Sometimes, a person's strength is really weak. It can't solve all problems."
Tang Zheng obviously understood this point, but he really didn't want Martial to die like this.
At this last moment, he finally understood his own heart. The two of them had experienced so much together, and although it was not a pleasant period of time, Martial had unknowingly walked into his heart and occupied a very important position.
His teeth bit deeply into his lips, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, but he was completely unaware.
His eyes involuntarily turned red, and he couldn't help but lean over and gently kiss her lips.
He had never kissed her so gently before. Although the two of them had already kissed each other a few times, that was when Tang Zheng's Pure Yang Force was activated. His consciousness had already sunk into chaos, and it was more of an instinct than a feeling that came from the bottom of his heart.
This kiss did not contain any desire, but it was filled with deep emotions, emotions that came from the bottom of his heart.
The blood on Tang Zheng's lips dyed Martial's lips red, and the blood seeped in through his teeth.
As their lips parted, Tang Zheng carried her by the waist and said, "I'll take her to admire the moonlight. I've never truly accompanied her before."
Wuuu!
A cry finally broke out of Lan Yu's throat. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but it was still difficult to hide her sobbing.
Tears had already flowed out of her eyes as she stared at Tang Zheng's tall figure and Martial who was in his embrace. Martial's figure was tall, and being held in Tang Zheng's embrace, he did not feel like a little bird, but rather like a sleeping mermaid.
Lan Yu nodded incessantly and said, "You guys can go. Accompany her properly."
Lan Yu knew that Martial's life had already come to an end, and there was no other way. Tang Zheng had already accepted this reality, so he planned to accompany her on the final journey of her life.
Tang Zheng's eyes were moist, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, as heavy as a thousand catties. He walked towards the balcony step by step, as if he had used up all of his strength, and every step was incomparably heavy.
He sat on the balcony with Martial in his arms. The snow-white moonlight shone down from the sky, covering everything on the ground in a layer of silver.
Bathed in the moonlight, Martial's face was suffused with a holy radiance. Her exquisite facial features caused one's heart to palpitate.
But at this moment, her face was haggard. She no longer had her usual valiant appearance, causing one's heart to ache so much that it was about to break.
Tang Zheng gently caressed her cheek and muttered to himself, softly recalling the bits and pieces of the two of them. The scenes in his mind turned into words and came out of his mouth. Although it was simple, it was like the most moving words of love in the world, causing people to be moved.
Lan Yu looked at the two of them from afar, and vaguely heard Tang Zheng's voice. She started to sob again, her tears wetting her cheeks, and she couldn't help but fall into self-blame.
She already knew that a large part of the reason why she was able to be saved this time was because of Martial. If she hadn't discovered some clues and given Tang Zheng a lot of benefits, Tang Zheng wouldn't have come to the Island nation.
Then these people would only have a dead end. Therefore, everyone's lives were saved by Wu Yu.
However, she could save others, but she could not save herself. All of this was caused by that damned Imperial Advisor. If he had not given Wu that pill, then everything would have been fine.
Tang Zheng looked at her face in a daze. He regretted and blamed himself. Why did he treat her so coldly in the past? He did not say a single word of gentleness to her. He even impatiently protected her at all times.
Now, even if he wanted to do everything he could to get back all of this, it was impossible. One would only know how precious it was after losing it.
He finally knew how precious she was, but he was going to lose her forever. Fate really played tricks on people.
