Lu Guangdi was already dead, he breathed his last.
The two of them were initially confident that there would not be any problems. Their martial arts skills were top-notch, and they had been stealthily traveling the entire way. They did not enter the city and only rested in the wilderness. Sometimes, they would even take shortcuts, so they did not encounter anyone along the way.
The previous attack made them feel relieved. They felt that they should be able to get through this. The attacker was not strong, so they were not from any top-notch sect or force.
Ever since Lu Guangdi came to Fairy's Capital, he had not provoked anyone other than Chu Li. Chu Li wanted to bury the hatchet because he was worried about Lu Zhengjun from Green Deer Cliff. Naturally, he would not send someone to assassinate him.
No matter how hated Lu Guangdi was, there would only be a group of people who wanted to kill him. There would not be too many people.
They never thought that the assassins this time would be so powerful that they actually succeeded in killing them.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound like thunder. The two of them regained their senses and quickly turned to look.
This sound came from the depths of the forest. It was the sound of Grandmasters fighting.
Elder Xu took a deep breath and took out a jade bottle. He poured out a spirit pill and stuffed it into Lu Guangdi's mouth. He then used his energy to pat Lu Guangdi a few times.
This was the spirit pill that Lu Yurong had given them before they left — the Spirit Blessing Pill. It was the Yi Public House's unique spirit pill. It could even bring back the dead.
After Lu Guangdi was hit, darkness swallowed him, but he still felt like he was falling into a deep darkness. His body was cold. As time passed, he did not know how much time had passed. Gradually, he felt light and light appeared in front of his eyes. He knew from the sect's archives that this was a sign that his soul was about to leave his body after death. He was about to die completely.
He was not willing to die like this. The past flashed past his eyes one by one. It was so fast that he did not miss anything. He felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He let out a long sigh and gradually calmed down. There was a hint of joy in his heart. He was completely liberated.
At this moment, he swallowed a spirit pill.
A burning sensation came from his stomach. The light feeling disappeared, and his mind fell. Thousands of sensations surged in his heart. His body was in pain, his skin felt refreshed, and his organs felt like they were being cut by knives.
"Cough cough cough cough!" Lu Guangdi suddenly coughed violently. His heart suddenly started beating again.
He sat up abruptly and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Along with the burning sensation from his stomach, an endless power surged up and penetrated through his entire body. Immediately, his entire body was surrounded by clear air. He immediately widened his eyes and looked at the two old men.
"Thank God!" Elder Xu and Elder Hu put their palms together and bowed in the direction of Shen Du.
"Elder Xu, Elder Hu, I'm alive again?" Lu Guang asked.
"Haha …" Elder Xu laughed and said, "Young Master Lu, you're really lucky to be alive again!"
"Thank you, seniors!" Lu Guangdi gave a fist salute.
After dying once, his mind was clear and he felt the preciousness of life. He became more and more afraid of death. Although the two of them had failed to protect him and caused him to lose his life, he was still grateful that they could save his life.
However, he still had to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that the two of them were not suitable to be guards.
"No need to thank us." Elder Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, "If you want to thank someone, thank Miss Lu. It was Miss Lu who gave me this resurrection spirit pill before we parted."
Of course, he did not know what Lu Guangdi was thinking. He thought that Lu Guangdi was really grateful to him.
"Sigh …" Lu Guangdi sighed. "I owe Miss Lu my life. Looks like I'll have to repay her for the rest of my life!"
He felt an inexplicable sense of joy. With this excuse, he could stay by Lu Yurong's side, take care of her, and obtain her.
"Miss Lu is really meticulous!" Elder Xu and Elder Hu nodded and praised.
They had experienced Lu Yurong's amazing methods more than once. This time, it seemed very normal.
Not far away, the sound of explosions could still be heard. The two of them frowned and looked at each other.
They did not know which Grandmasters it was, or if it was the assassin from before.
They suppressed their thoughts of going over. It was not the right time to be curious. It was better not to cause any more trouble. They only had one Spirit Blessing Pill. If they died again, they would be helpless.
"Bam bam bam bam …" Continuous dull sounds could be heard.
Lu Guangdi could not help but be curious. "Seniors, let's go and take a look."
"We should hurry on with our journey," Elder Xu said.
Lu Guangdi said, "Maybe we know them."
"… Let's go and take a look," Elder Hu said.
"Alright." Elder Xu could only agree. He held onto Lu Guangdi and glided forward. Soon, they reached the depths of the forest.
There were a total of eleven people fighting. It was five against six.
The five of them were the four men in gray and one man in black who tried to assassinate Lu Guangdi. The other six were dressed in green. The two groups were evenly matched.
"It's our people!" Elder Xu turned to look at Elder Hu.
Elder Hu nodded. "Looks like Miss Lu secretly sent people."
"Hey, these people!" Elder Xu was very dissatisfied.
These people were too unreliable. Since they came, they did not help in time. They let Lu Guangdi die once. Fortunately, it was Lu Guangdi this time. If it was the Crown Prince, he would not be able to redeem himself even if he died a hundred times.
"Let's help them," Elder Hu said.
Elder Xu frowned and thought for a while. He then snorted. "That's the only way!"
Lu Guangdi was placed on a tree branch. The two of them rushed over.
Both of them were top-notch experts. Once they joined in, the situation was instantly reversed. They worked together to heavily injure one of the men in gray while the others escaped.
The six middle-aged men in green greeted the two of them.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Elder Xu asked without holding back.
The six middle-aged men in green helplessly shook their heads.
A square-faced middle-aged man sighed. "We secretly defeated a group of people. When we rushed over, we were too late. … Elder Xu, Young Master Lu is dead, right?"
"He died once and came back to life." Elder Xu snorted. "Luckily Miss Lu gave us the Spirit Medicine. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to face anyone!"
The six middle-aged men in green nodded bitterly.
This time, they had made a huge mistake. If it were not for the Spirit Medicine that saved Lu Guangdi, they would have seriously neglected their duties. They would not have a good time when they returned.
After this, they decided not to hide in the dark anymore. They met up with Elder Xu and Elder Hu and hurried on their journey together.
On a mountain peak ten miles away, Chu Li was hugging Xiao Qi as they sat under a pine tree and enjoyed the scenery.
The mountains stretched on endlessly, like a giant dragon entrenched in the ground.
Since it was early winter, all the grass had withered. Only the pine forest was still green.
His eyes were admiring the scenery, but his mind was filled with Lu Guangdi's every move, every word, and every thought.
After Lu Guangdi's death, the protective force in Lu Guangdi's mind finally dissipated. Chu Li could finally see what Lu Guangdi was thinking.
He was very satisfied. It seemed that this Spirit Blessing Pill was not wasted.
Xiao Qi said, "If we just leave like that, Gu Yu will probably go crazy."
Chu Li smiled. "Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, leaving is the best strategy. It's best to anger him."
Xiao Qi pursed her lips and smiled. "I guess no one would expect you to take a step back."
Chu Li nodded. "Since I've left the Imperial Residence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't chase after me. Let's not turn against each other for now."
"What if he chases after you?" Xiao Qi asked. "He might send people from the Secret Guardians Hall to the Public House."
"We'll just fight our way out." Chu Li played it down.
