Wanyan Jing panted heavily and turned to look at her sister and the others. They were five hundred feet away. Although she could wait for Zhou Yang to exhaust his vital energy to counterattack and then return to the city to think of a way to cure the poison, she felt that this man was too dangerous. Who knew what the final outcome would be?
She did not dare to gamble. She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid of becoming a promiscuous woman before she died.
"Zhou Yang, I, Wanyan Jing, swear that I will not let you off in this lifetime."
With that, Wanyan Jing circulated her vital energy, grabbed Zhou Yang's arm, and rushed forward.
The people chasing behind were stunned by this scene and looked at Wanyan Ziyue in confusion.
"It seems that Zhou Yang has something on Seventh Sister. Everyone, go back. I think Seventh Sister will be safe." Wanyan Ziyue stopped and said.
"But Princess, are you going to let that kid escape just like that?"
"That kid ran from the border to the city and not only killed one of our commanders, he also killed the city lord's beloved son. Where will the Nanman Kingdom's face be if this gets out?"
"Then what should we do? Do you not care about the Seventh Princess's life? It doesn't matter if we lose face, we can get it back. But if something happens to the Seventh Princess, how can we answer to the King? A hundred thousand soldiers at the border can't even protect a princess. If that's the case, we don't need to beg for forgiveness. We can just die … "
Everyone argued endlessly and finally chose to retreat.
Six hours later, at the border of the two countries.
"We're almost at your Dragonwu Country's territory. Tell me, where is the antidote?"
In the forest, Wanyan Jing looked at Zhou Yang anxiously.
Zhou Yang sat on the ground and swallowed a few Green Jade Pills. Only when his weak vital energy recovered a little did he stand up and whistle.

"What … what are you doing?" Wanyan Jing took a few steps back. She knew that whistling at a woman was a form of flirting.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not interested in you."
With that, Zhou Yang continued to treat the wound on his shoulder.
Wanyan Jing wanted to say something but was stunned when she saw the terrible wound on Zhou Yang's shoulder.
"You crossed the border and risked your life to enter the city just to kill Blood Disciple and Yelu Feng?"
Zhou Yang tore off his robe and bandaged his wound. He looked up at Wanyan Jing and asked, "Are the ten little girls alright?"
"Of course I'm fine, I …" Wanyan Jing paused for a while before saying, "Did you go to the city to save those girls?"
Zhou Yang shook his head. "If you can, send them out of the city. They are innocent."
"Of course I know that. You don't have to worry about it. Hurry up and give me the antidote." Wanyan Jing's expression softened a little, but his mood was very complicated. Although Zhou Yang didn't admit it, it seemed like he had another reason.
"Roar!"
A low roar was heard not far from the two of them. Wanyan Jing turned around as if he was facing a formidable enemy. In front of him was a frightening beast covered in flames.
"Chi Yan!"
Zhou Yang was overjoyed. His previous whistle was to summon Chi Yan, but that was only a guess. He didn't expect Chi Yan to be nearby.
"This is your beast companion?" Wanyan Jing was shocked once again.
Zhou Yang nodded and got on Chi Yan's back. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "Thank you for saving them."
"That's what I wanted to do. If you really think I helped you, then give me the antidote." Wanyan Jing hurriedly said when he saw that Zhou Yang was about to leave.
"There's no antidote. What you just took wasn't the Fierce Maiden Powder, it was just a healing pill." Zhou Yang shook his head and smiled.
"You … you're playing with me."
Wanyan Jing gritted his teeth, but he realized that he didn't want to do anything to Zhou Yang.
"What, you still want to kill me?" Zhou Yang laughed.
"Hmph, even if I don't kill you, you won't live for long. Do you know who the Yelu Feng you killed is?"
"Isn't he the Castellan's son?" Zhou Yang asked doubtfully.
"Of course he's not just the Castellan's son. His father is the successor of the Yelu Family, one of the two biggest families in our Barbarian Kingdom. They are second only to our Wanyan Family. Killing Blood Disciple isn't a big deal, but killing the eldest grandson of the Yelu Family Patriarch … even if you run to the ends of the earth, they won't give up on you." Wanyan Jing's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of worry.
"Then let them come."
Zhou Yang's face was filled with disdain. He didn't have it easy in the Dragon Martial Country. His enemies were either experts much stronger than him or those in power. Under such circumstances, one more Yelu Family wasn't a big deal, and it might even be a good thing.
"I don't care if you're courting death, but you have to return the Tri-Colored Arrow to me. I don't want my treasure to be taken away by others after you die." Wanyan Jing stretched out his hand.
Zhou Yang shook his head and smiled, "I'm not killing you because you saved those ten little girls. As for the Tri-Colored Arrow, don't even think about it. If you want it, take it with your own strength."
With that said, Zhou Yang patted Scarlet Flame's back and walked away.
"You …"
Wanyan Jing stomped his feet angrily. Facing this man, he couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate. Not to mention, there was still Scarlet Flame around, so he didn't dare to snatch the Tri-Colored Arrow.
"Fine, just you wait, I'll come looking for you. At that time, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees."
Wanyan Jing spat out some harsh words and left in a hurry.
Inside the forest, Zhou Yang walked carefully. Every few li, he would sit down to recover from his injuries. He couldn't go back like this, because the border city wasn't necessarily safer than the city.
The best way was to return the next morning when the assessment was about to end. That way, Wan Bugui and the others wouldn't have enough time to deal with him.
After one day and one night of recuperation, Zhou Yang could move his right hand by the next morning. This was all thanks to the Profound Flower Powder Tang Yuewu gave him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to recover in such a short time.
Early in the morning, the eastern sky was already bright. Zhou Yang finally reached the city gates.
"Scarlet Flame, wait for me at the eastern gate. We're going back to the county city."
With that said, Zhou Yang walked through the city gates with a smile on his face.
At the same time, in the Castellan Manor's courtyard, all the Rising Stars in the border city were gathered together. Xiao Lin anxiously looked at the rising sun in the east.
"General Xiao, it's almost time. Zhou Yang won't be able to return." Wan Bugui said from the side.
"I received news that Zhou Yang took Wanyan Jing hostage and left the city. Why won't he be able to return?" Xiao Lin frowned.
"General Xiao, aren't you a little too naive? It's seventy li from the city to the border, and there are many warriors from the Nanman Kingdom in between. Even if he took a princess hostage, he definitely won't be able to escape. At most, he'll only be able to delay them for a while," He Lanshan said disdainfully.
"That's right, General Xiao. Time is up. Please give the order. We're all in a hurry to return." Murong Zhenjie urged from below.
Seeing that the sun was about to rise, Xiao Lin finally took a deep breath and said to everyone, "This year's Warrior Assessment is officially over …"
