Zhou Wen was wrapped in gauze like a mummy as he hid on the bed. A winged pixie flew beside Zhou Wen, trying its best to spew out green light to nourish his injured body.
According to the information Wang Lu had gathered, although the anomaly in Forbidden City was intense, it was limited to Forbidden City. No dimensional creatures rushed out.
What was different from before was that in the past, strange sounds could only be heard from Forbidden City during thunderstorms. Now, even without thunder, one could hear strange sounds coming from inside.
Unfortunately, no one could enter Forbidden City, so it was unknown what was happening inside.
Due to Old Master Xia's disappearance, the Xia family was in chaos. Nothing happened to Xia Liuchuan and Xia Xuanyue. They had even appeared near Forbidden City in the past two days.
Zhou Wen had roughly guessed this outcome. Apart from Xia Jiuhuang, few people in the Xia family wanted them dead. After all, they were the Xia family's hope.
The death of more than ten thousand Epic creatures was a huge blow to any of the six hero families. It definitely had a huge impact on the Xia family.
However, it wasn't as big as Zhou Wen imagined. Most of the ten thousand Epic creatures were nurtured by Xia Jiuhuang himself. He wanted to be a sacrifice for his advancement to the Mythical stage. Therefore, these people were from the East Courtyard and didn't affect the Xia family's normal system.
From this point, Xia Jiuhuang actually had some feelings for the Xia family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have separated these people from the Xia family and set up a separate East Courtyard.
There was also Xia Liuchuan and Xia Xuanyue. Their talent, Life Providences, and Life Souls were top-notch. Xia Jiuhuang could have used one of them as his ninth Life Soul, but he didn't do so in the end. Perhaps there were some emotional factors.
Regardless, the destruction of Xia Jiuhuang and the East Courtyard dealt quite a huge blow to the Xia family, reducing their influence in the Federation greatly.
The Xia family and the bureau were searching for Old Master Xia and Zhou Wen's whereabouts, but no one saw Zhou Wen come out of Forbidden City. They imagined that Zhou Wen was trapped in the mutated Forbidden City like Old Master Xia, so they didn't search the Imperial Capital.
Zhou Wen had been recuperating in Grandma Wang's yard for the past two days. It was strange. Apart from Grandma Wang, there were only a few old maids and a butler in such a huge yard. He didn't see any younger members of the Wang family.
Zhou Wen asked Wang Lu and learned that this was where Grandma Wang was recuperating. The other Wang family members didn't live here, and the Wang family's real manor wasn't nearby.
Zhou Wen used his stiff wrapped hands to look at his phone. He saw a purple flower bud grow on the Dead Man Tree. It was likely the flower that had absorbed Xia Jiuhuang.
Zhou Wen was somewhat looking forward to what kind of fruit the flower would bear.
Xia Jiuhuang had advanced to the Mythical stage with nine supreme-grade Life Providences and Life Souls. Furthermore, his body had condensed the power of the log, so the fruit he produced definitely wouldn't be too bad.
"It's a pity for my Six-Winged." Zhou Wen sighed softly. Six-Winged had been with him for so long, so he wasn't used to its sudden disappearance.
With nothing to do in bed, Zhou Wen took out his phone to grind dungeons. He originally imagined that he could happily grind the nine black dragons, but to his surprise, the nine black dragons hadn't respawned yet.
The other Mythical creatures respawn every day. Don't tell me these nine black dragons respawn every nine days? Zhou Wen guessed.
Since he couldn't grind the black dragons, Zhou Wen turned his attention to the Guardian. During his battle with Xia Jiuhuang, Zhou Wen had gained insight into the concept of power from the Sigh of the King and found a way to use the Slaughterer Life Soul. That move was extremely powerful and might be able to pose a threat to the Guardian.
Zhou Wen called that move Immortal Slaying. Immortal Slaying was basically a one-time move. If he couldn't kill the enemy with one move, Zhou Wen would be crippled.
The main reason was that Immortal Slaying used the Sigh of the King and the Slaughterer Life Soul as its foundation.
It wasn't that the Slaughterer Life Soul couldn't be driven, but that the power needed to drive it was too immense. Without a high-level power like the Sigh of the King as a foundation, there was no way to drive the Slaughterer Life Soul.
However, using the power of the Sigh of the King would place a huge burden on Zhou Wen's body. Furthermore, Immortal Slaying would expend all his strength in one go, so Zhou Wen basically had no combat strength after one strike.
However, the might of this strike was something that even Xia Jiuhuang, who was wearing the Guardian armor, couldn't withstand. He had even slain the black jade Guardian with one strike. Such might might might be useful against the Guardians in Ant City and the war wagon.
It was too dangerous to use Immortal Slaying in real life. He might even kill himself before injuring the enemy.
However, in-game, he didn't have so many qualms. He just had to do it.
Zhou Wen's arms were held in place by splints, so he could only lie on the bed. His arms were raised like a zombie as he held his phone and began gaming.
Before the nine black dragons respawned, the war wagon stopped at the bottom of the sea. Zhou Wen went straight to the underground sea, hoping to see if Immortal Slaying could kill the Guardian inside.
Before Zhou Wen reached the underground sea, he heard a sound from the window.
The window here wasn't glass, but an ancient window made of wood and paper. When it was opened, it flipped upwards and was propped up with a wooden stick.
Zhou Wen turned his head to look at the window and saw two ponytails peeking out. Then, he saw a little girl's head slowly extend out and lie on the windowsill. She widened her large eyes and looked curiously at the mummy-like Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen saw that the girl was only eleven or twelve years old and looked very cute. From her appearance, she looked a little similar to Wang Lu.
"Little friend, what's your name?" Zhou Wen asked her.
"Wang Chan," the girl answered.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to ask something, his hand suddenly slipped and the phone smashed down, hitting him in the face. Zhou Wen's eyes turned black as his nose felt sore and painful.
Zhou Wen wanted to pick up the phone, but he couldn't bend his arm. He couldn't reach it.
"I'll help you." Wang Chan pushed open the door and ran in. She reached out to pick up the phone on Zhou Wen's face and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Little Chan …"
Zhou Wen reached out to pick up the phone when he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside the yard. "Miss Little Chan, where are you? Come out quickly! "
Little Chan jumped in fright as she turned to look at the door. At the same time, she handed the phone to Zhou Wen.
However, Zhou Wen's arm was too stiff. Before he could grab the phone, it fell with a thud and smashed into Zhou Wen's face, causing him to grimace in pain.
