In the garden behind the palace, it was the same as before. However, there were a few more figures in the pavilion.
Brush looked at the medicine boy nervously diagnosing Lady Yu Fei. He kept pacing back and forth, wanting to ask but not daring to speak. At this moment, he hated his own talent. Although he used to be very strong, after losing the person he relied on, he was completely useless. Especially at critical moments, he was basically useless. He couldn't do anything.
It didn't know why it had to stay here. It had to know that being by his side and not being by his side was like heaven and earth.
"Phew."
After a long time, the medicine boy sighed and placed Empress Yu Fei on the ground.
"What's wrong? Is the Empress alright? "The brush couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.
"Although the Empress has the protection of the formation spirit, she didn't suffer much damage before." The medicine boy walked in front of the gourd and gently touched it.
"If it's nothing serious, why are you frowning? Hurry up and tell me." The brush didn't believe it. If that was the case, why would the medicine boy's face be so sour?
"Although she didn't suffer much damage, some of the injuries she suffered a long time ago were triggered this time. This is the source of her coma. If this continues, the Empress's body will only grow weaker until she dies." The medicine boy explained.
"What's the use of telling me this? Tell me if there's any way to suppress those damned injuries." The brush said irritably.
"Medicine boy, why are you nodding?" The brush saw the medicine boy nodding and shaking his head and couldn't help but ask.
"When that young master comes, I'll tell you. I need to tell him some things. Only then can the Empress's injuries be completely suppressed." The medicine boy's small face was expressionless. He only looked at the gourd with nostalgia.
"Alright, then where's the kitten now? After coming out, it went crazy and sealed itself. What the hell was it doing? " The brush saw this and could only mumble. It changed the topic to the unconscious kitten. At this time, the kitten had returned to its original small form.
"I feel that because of the death of his companion, he couldn't accept it and sealed and tampered with some of his memories." The medicine boy took a quick look and knew what the brush had done.
"No one could have imagined that ending. If I can be of use, I'm willing to die. I won't let anyone get hurt."
When the brush heard the medicine boy's words, it slowly floated above the kitten's head. It looked at the unconscious kitten and said slowly.
For a moment, the air was silent again. They were waiting for Gu Zheng's return.
Although the demonified Song Shan seemed very powerful, they also knew that a puppet would not be able to display its full strength. Thus, if he were to face Gu Zheng, who had the same cultivation level as him, he would definitely not be a match for him.
"What's going on? Did something happen? "
Not long after, Gu Zheng walked out of the fake mountain that had been opened. He saw the serious atmosphere outside and saw Goddess Yu Fei and the small cat lying on the ground. He looked around and saw that there were no abnormalities. Only then did he speak.
"No, you're finally back. Where's Song Shan?" Seeing that Gu Zheng had returned, the brush also cheered up and directly called out Song Shan's name.
"It's already asleep. What's going on? I remember that the kitten was fine before. "Gu Zheng walked over as he asked.
"It's like this … The medicine boy insisted on waiting for you to come back. I was so anxious." The brush quickly explained what had happened and finally complained.
"I'm back. What do you want to say to me?" Gu Zheng stood still and asked curiously.
"Now that General Song is dead and this place has been completely destroyed, none of this is important. I hope that you can take Goddess Yu Fei and leave this place. If possible, please help us fulfill our last wish and bring Goddess Yu Fei back to His Majesty's side." The medicine boy's face was tense as he spoke with a serious expression.
"If you want to protect Goddess Yu Fei, I can do it even without you saying. However, I still have things to do here. I might not meet the other party." Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth.
"That's not a problem. As long as Goddess Yu Fei's life is safe for now, everything else will be up to fate." The brush said leisurely.
Because at this moment, there was no good solution. The people who stayed behind did not have much strength. If they met a slightly stronger enemy, they would probably be captured without a fight. Therefore, it was better to leave it to fate. No matter what, it was better than being here.
"Alright then. Let Goddess Yu Fei stay by my side." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and agreed.
"You don't have to be so worried. Goddess Yu Fei isn't very different from the Spiritual Guards. If there is a strong enemy, we can take Goddess Yu Fei in. That way, Goddess Yu Fei won't be harmed." The brush saw Gu Zheng's confusion and explained further.
"If that's the case, I'm completely relieved." Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
After all, in her current situation, it was appropriate to describe her as too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. Any small movement could accidentally take her away.
"Then I'm relieved. Remember, don't let Goddess Yu Fei fight or get hurt."
The medicine boy nodded seriously. Then, he patted his gourd and mounted it, coming to Goddess Yu Fei's head.
"What are you doing?" Gu Zheng looked at the medicine boy's actions and asked in confusion.
"For Goddess Yu Fei. I have to suppress Goddess Yu Fei's injuries. Otherwise, they will only get worse. This is my duty."
However, the medicine boy didn't say much. After he spoke, the gourd suddenly shattered into balls of emerald green light. They floated down like stars. It was incomparably beautiful.
This was the formation of using life to descend. Soon, it disappeared from the sky. All of the green dots of light sank into Goddess Rain Flying's body. Her spirit body, which was originally a little unstable, was now completely stabilized. Her body also emitted a resplendent aura of life.
Gu Zheng looked at the medicine boy who was sacrificing his life again and his heart sank. His duty was to take care of her, even if he had to give up everything.
She was not the only one. Everyone here lived for her and lived for her.
The brush stopped spinning in the air. He could feel the sad aura from it.
At this moment, Xiao Mao, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. She stood up and shook her body. She looked at Goddess Yu Fei with confusion. Then, in a flash, she came to Gu Zheng's shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Gu Zheng looked at Xiao Mao and asked.
"Sister Xiao Ying, go save the demon souls. Enemies!" Xiao Mao spat out these words coldly.
"He sealed his memories. I don't know what he forgot. No one knows. But it seems like his sister's death was a big blow to him." The brush looked at the cute Xiao Mao and said to Gu Zheng with a sigh.
"Yes, I will definitely save Xiao Ying. Most of those demon souls are enemies. Follow me and listen to my orders. When the time comes, I will save your sister Xiao Ying. You can stay with her, okay?" Gu Zheng stroked Xiao Mao's head and said gently.
Xiao Mao nodded obediently. She lay on Gu Zheng's shoulder again. It was as if she had returned to her previous state.
She thought of Xiao Mao's sister. They had just met, but they were going to be separated completely.
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart. He hoped that she could recover soon.
"Goddess, are you feeling better?" The brush saw that Goddess Yu Fei had woken up and quickly flew over to ask.
"Why is it just us? Where are the others? Where is Xiao Lian and the medicine boy? " Goddess Yu Fei ignored the brush's words. She looked around and realized that there was only Gu Zheng and the others. Everyone else was gone.
"Xiao Lian was killed by Song Shan. The medicine boy also disappeared completely to save you." The brush paused and said from the side.
"Sigh, if it wasn't for me, everyone wouldn't be like this." Goddess Yu Fei sighed.
"Empress, please don't say that. Everything we're doing here is for you. Even if all of our lives are worth less than a single finger of yours." The brush was extremely anxious. It was afraid that she would do something irrational, so it immediately spoke up.
"I know. I won't be so stupid to let down so many people's trust." Goddess Yu Fei forced a smile.
"Goddess Yu Fei, this is a jade hairpin that I picked up previously. I'm returning it to its rightful owner." Gu Zheng looked at the slightly disheveled Goddess Yu Fei. He finally had the chance to return the jade hairpin that he picked up previously.
"Thank you. My name is Yan Yufei. You don't have to be so polite to call me Goddess. Just call me by my name." Yan Yufei took the hairpin and tied her slightly disheveled hair back. Then, she thanked Gu Zheng.
"Alright, we can go now. Do you want to enter the Jade Dragon's Space first, or do you want to stay outside?" Gu Zheng still asked her.
"Young Master Gu, I'll enter the Jade Dragon's Space first. I don't want to cause you any trouble. But before that, you still need to merge the Jade Dragon with the sword." Yan Yufei nodded and said to Gu Zheng.
"Merge with the sword?" Gu Zheng looked at the Cloud Desolate Sword that he had just taken out. Although the Jade Dragon seemed a little inconvenient in battle, as it was more like an ornament, it didn't matter.
"Yes, I remember that the two of them are one. After all, I played a part in the birth of this sword. Of course, I know that very well." Yan Yufei chuckled. Looking at the Cloud Desolate Sword, there was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"Alright then. What should I do? The Spirit Guards are still inside." Gu Zheng said straightforwardly. He couldn't let go of any place that could strengthen his strength.
"It won't affect the Spirit Guards inside. After all, this thing was originally taken out to find the next owner. You just need to drip two drops of your heart's blood on the Dark Ice Pearl and the Blazing Flame Pearl. Then, guide the energy of the two and pull the Jade Dragon into the Space. It will be done very quickly." Yan Yufei explained in detail.
Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment after hearing that. However, he still decided to merge with the sword. After all, the Jade Dragon could be destroyed outside if the enemy knew about its uniqueness. However, if it was merged with the Cloud Desolate Sword, it would not only increase its power slightly.
Without hesitation, he placed the Cloud Desolate Sword in the air and stopped moving.
At the same time, two drops of heart's blood were forced out of Gu Zheng's mouth. His face turned slightly pale, but he still dripped the two drops of heart's blood on the two pearls.
Without any intention, the heart's blood easily merged with the pearls. The originally dim pearls suddenly emitted a blood-red glow, with two different colors of light swimming in them.
At this moment, Gu Zheng could clearly feel that he could easily control the power of the two pearls. With a thought in his mind, two beams of light, one red and one blue, were immediately drawn out from the pearls. Like a thin stream, they coiled towards the Jade Dragon at the side.
When the two beams of light touched the Jade Dragon, its body trembled, and wisps of white light emerged from its body and surrounded it. It was like a solid layer of defense, preventing the two streams from getting close to it.
While Gu Zheng was still thinking of asking Yan Yufei what he should do next, a wisp of blood-red light had already rushed up along the stream towards the Jade Dragon.
When the wisps of blood-red light made contact with the Jade Dragon, the white light around it began to dissipate rapidly, allowing the two streams to smoothly wrap around the Jade Dragon. Very soon, it formed a layer of water ball with a clear blue and red color, and was pulled down by the streams.
At the same time, the lower half of the stream was also undergoing a similar change. Most of the blood-red light flowed out from the pearls, and actually converged at the point of contact.
Under Gu Zheng's gaze, the blood-red light began to corrode the middle of the pearls, as if it was trying to open up a path between the two pearls. At the same time, some of the surrounding blood-red light also spread to the side, as if to make room for the Jade Dragon.
As the water ball in the air was pulled back, it gradually shrank as well. Before long, when it came to the sword hilt, there was only one white pearl left, which was only one-fifth of its original size. Unknowingly, both pearls had been stained white, and were becoming smaller and smaller, as everything was sucked into the Jade Dragon.
Even though it was only one-fifth of its original size, it was still bigger than the previous two pearls combined, and there was a hole in the middle of the sword hilt that fit perfectly into the pearl.
When the Jade Dragon was completely absorbed into the sword hilt, a dazzling white light emanated from it, making everyone unable to look straight at it.
The white light only lasted for the time it took to finish half a pot of tea, before it slowly faded away.
At this point in time, the entire Cloud Desolate Sword had undergone a great change. Its body was covered with faint lines of inscriptions, which filled it with a strange aura, as if it had become another weapon.
The two pearls that were originally inlaid at the bottom of the sword hilt had now turned into one white pearl, perfectly fusing with the sword hilt. It did not affect Gu Zheng in the slightest.
Gu Zheng quickly grabbed the Cloud Desolate Sword again, and the feeling of being connected by blood once again surged into his heart. At the same time, he felt a warm aura coming from the Jade Dragon in his palm, slowly healing the fatigue in Gu Zheng's body.
More importantly, the Jade Dragon's space was still there, and the Spirit Guards were standing straight in various places like sentinels. However, he could see that the blue seawater in the sky had disappeared, and was replaced by a blue sky. It was not that it had disappeared, but that it was outside the land, like an ocean surrounding the island. It really did look like a small world.
However, it only looked like a small world, and its essence had not changed. It was still a special space, and at most, it looked much better than before.
Furthermore, it was more convenient than before, as he could sense the inside of the space at any time, unlike before, when he had to split his mind to enter the Jade Dragon's space.
"What is the name of this sword? The Cloud Desolate Sword is not its original name, right? "Gu Zheng checked it once, and said fondly.
"Cloud Desolate, of course, is not its original name, but it is not important. You can just call it the Cloud Desolate Sword. This name is a move, and it is still very powerful. Otherwise, how can this name be used in the outside world? But did you notice that the Jade Dragon can be fused with a special energy?" Yan Yufei said.
"What kind of energy can be fused with it? Is there enough energy to activate this Cloud Desolate technique of yours? "Gu Zheng immediately asked.
"You can say that. For example, you have five rings. If you can completely fuse with it, you will definitely be satisfied, and the move will be very powerful, but the price will be very heavy. You also understand that there are gains and losses. However, if your jade bracelets are not completely fused with it, but they cooperate with each other, then it will produce different effects. For the time being, you can understand that it can strengthen various kinds of energy, such as the use of the Dark Ice Pearl."
Yan Yufei was afraid that Gu Zheng did not know, and explained carefully.
"I understand." Gu Zheng nodded. He understood that the additional function of this sword was actually similar to a magical treasure. It was indeed not simple.
Although he had lost the previous two pearls, he had gained more.
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Brush said to Gu Zheng.
"No, I have already taken the elixir. I can accept this loss. Then, how about inviting Miss Yufei into this space? When there is no one around, I will definitely let you out. "Gu Zheng rejected Brush's suggestion and said.
"Okay, then I will have to trouble you."
After Yan Yufei finished speaking, she sat down with her legs crossed. The aura on her body gradually decreased, and she relaxed her external resistance.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng quickly sent out a wisp of aura to protect Yan Yufei, and she disappeared in front of him, entering the Jade Dragon Space.
When she was in the Jade Dragon Space, Yan Yufei stood up and looked around. Although the surroundings were monotonous, she was still surprised, especially after seeing the white horse. At least she would not be lonely.
This Jade Dragon Space could only allow Spiritual Guards to enter, and even ordinary items could not be put in, not even demon souls.
"Let's go. What about you? You should be careful with me. The battle outside is definitely fierce. I don't want to accidentally hurt you. "Gu Zheng said to Brush after seeing Yan Yufei and the white horse talking.
"Don't worry. If there is any danger, I will hide with you immediately. I don't want to die without knowing anything." Brush did not fall, but still said.
Gu Zheng nodded, and then walked along the previous path. Soon, he arrived at the place where the True Eye was. It was still in a mess, and he went straight through the place where the Heroic Spirit went.
"Rumble!"
After passing through the passage and arriving at a spacious hall, the whole cave suddenly shook, and the surrounding soil rustled, causing him to stop.
"The formation here has been completely damaged. It will not be long before this place completely collapses." Brush was not surprised, as if it had already known this.
Gu Zheng did not say anything. He could already feel a faint aura here, and was not worried about getting lost. After passing through a few more passages, a white light circle appeared in front of him.
Looking at the flickering light circle on the wall, they did not hesitate and walked in together. As the light circle flashed, the two of them disappeared.
