Ever since the Qing Clan was exterminated.
Qing Hui and Qingyu stayed behind in Ye Zichen's city. Qing Hui was now a general and Jinjiuqi's assistant. He commanded the city's soldiers, ensured the city's safety, and coordinated the deployment of troops.
Not long ago …
Qing Hui broke through to the Star rank.
He was one of the top experts in the surrounding villages. He was able to break through thanks to Mu Yi's sword. After he recovered, he felt that his strength had increased.
He thought that he would be satisfied if he could break through to the ninth level.
Unexpectedly, he broke through to the Star level in one go. Han Qing and the others even held a special celebration for his breakthrough. At the time, Ye Zichen had been busy raising his strength, so he hadn't gone. However, he'd heard about it.
"How did Uncle Qing get hurt?"
"Isn't he already in the Star State?"
Ye Zichen frowned, then let out a deep sigh when he saw Han Qing's expression.
"Forget it, bring me there."
"Don't hide such things from me in the future."
The two hurried to the infirmary. When they arrived, Chicano was also there, standing outside the infirmary door.
"City Lord."
Ye Zichen nodded, then walked to the door.
In the room …
The city's doctors were in the middle of treating him. Ye Zichen looked in from the outside, then his expression grew unsightly.
"How did you get hurt so badly?"
At this moment, Qing Hui had completely lost consciousness.
His shirt had been taken off and placed in the corner of the room. From his clothes, it could be seen that he had lost a lot of blood. By the time Ye Zichen saw it, Qing Hui's upper body had already been cleaned with water. The ground was covered in blood.
His chest was burnt black, and there was a sword wound on his abdomen.
"Who did it?"
Ye Zichen squinted his eyes at Chicano and Han Qing. He could tell from their expressions that they knew.
To be able to injure Qing He to such an extent...
More importantly, Qing Hui had Hollow Ores as well.
"Speak!"
Ye Zichen roared angrily with a frown when he saw that Chicano and Hanqing still hadn't rained.
"City Lord, we don't know either." After hesitating for a while, Han Qing gritted his teeth and said, "When this subordinate found him, he was already unconscious and heavily injured."
"Where did you find it?"
"The vicious beast area 15 miles outside the city."
The Ferocious Beast Area was the Ferocious Beast Area. The natives often called it the Ferocious Beast Area.
Fifteen li outside the city …
If Ye Zichen remembered correctly, that should be where the grizzly bears were active. His strength was only at the third level of the domain realm. With the strength of Green Obscurity's Star-level, not to mention being injured to this extent, it was already very good that those grizzly bears were not exterminated.
Furthermore …
Even if it was a grizzly bear, the fierce beast should have attacked with its sharp claws. Qing Hui's charred chest and the sword wound on her abdomen were obviously man-made.
"You're still hiding it from me!"
Ye Zichen frowned, then shifted his gaze between Chicano and Han Qing.
He was sure that things weren't that simple.
"This subordinate also found a letter by Qing Hui's side."
At that moment, Han Qing took out an envelope that was completely dyed red with blood and placed it in Ye Zichen's hands.
Ye Zichen reached out and received the letter.
Activate!
In less than half a minute …
"F * ck!"
Ye Zichen tightly gripped the letter in his hand.
Seeing Ye Zichen's expression, Han Qing and Chicano quickly followed suit.
"City Lord, please calm down."
"We … we don't want you to …"
"I don't blame you."
Ye Zichen shook his head towards Han Qing and co., then couldn't help but clench his fist as he read the contents of the letter.
This letter was written to him by the fire elemental commander!
Little friend Ye.
Seeing the words, I feel like I am.
Long time no see, I wonder how little friend is doing?
I can tell that little friend misses this sovereign a lot, and even sent people to investigate this sovereign's information. This sovereign saw your subordinate, and also sent people to take good care of him. This can be considered a return gift to little friend Ye for the great gift you gave this sovereign last time. Thanks to Little Friend Ye, I was able to truly experience what it means to live.
If I have time, this sovereign will definitely pay you a visit.
I wish you luck in martial arts.
Fire Xie.
"He's actually still alive!"
Ye Zichen let out a deep sigh, then put the letter away, while his eyes were filled with resentment!
The situation back then was just too bad!
If the reinforcements had come an hour earlier, and if Ye Zichen hadn't fainted from forcefully activating the Heaven Sweeping Sword, he would have definitely gotten rid of the fire elemental commander.
Then, he wouldn't have been able to escape and continue to wreak havoc in the world!
Two months ago, Su Hu was still discussing with Ye Zichen how to deal with the fire elemental commander. At that time, Su Hu had no choice but to rely on livestock to survive.
When Ye Zichen saw this letter …
He might have already found a new host, and it was a body that was very compatible with fire.
Signed: Fire Xie!
It seems like this is the name of the fire elemental commander.
He's going to pay me a visit!
Is this a threat?!
I really didn't expect him to finally find a good host after being beaten up like a stray dog for several months, and feel like he's fine again!
What is he trying to say?
Is he bringing people to attack the city?
Ye Zichen wasn't being arrogant. His city wouldn't even be able to enter without several tens of universe level experts!
"Why did Uncle Qing run into him?" Ye Zichen frowned.
Su Hu's people had always been in charge of investigating the fire elemental commander's position. At that moment, Su Hu hadn't told him anything about the fire elemental commander.
"Actually, Qing Hui has been investigating the fire elemental commander's whereabouts recently," Chicano said. "He still hasn't forgotten about his clan's extermination, and will investigate whenever he has the time. I tried to persuade him, but it's not so easy to let go of the hatred of his clan's extermination. Three days ago, Qing Hui left the city, and hasn't returned since then. This subordinate was worried, so I sent people to look for him, but Han Qing found him. "
"I understand," Chicano nodded.
Ye Zichen looked deeply at Qing Hui, who was in the room.
"You must save Uncle Qing, no matter what price you have to pay."
"Understood," Chicano nodded.
Qing Hui must be healed.
Regardless of his contributions to the city, or Huo Xie's declaration of war …
Only when Qing Hui wakes up will he know about Huo Xie's exact situation.
"Qingyu doesn't know yet, right?" Ye Zichen asked Han Qing and co. after a moment of silence.
"She doesn't know. Should we tell her?"
"Let's keep it a secret."
Ye Zichen thought about Qingyu. If she finds out that Qing Hui was injured like this, who knows how devastated she would be.
It's best not to let her know about this …
That way, she won't have to worry.
"I still stand by what I said. I must do everything I can to see Uncle Qing wake up," with that, Ye Zichen let out a deep sigh. "I'll leave this place to you guys."
"Don't worry, City Lord."
Ye Zichen nodded towards Chicano and Han Qing, then left the hallway with a frown. The first thing he did when he walked out was open his friend list.
"Su Hu!"
"Do you have time? Come to my city."
