When Zhao Yun arrived at Western Cloud Ridge, she was shocked by the tragic scene in front of her. Corpses were everywhere, wounded soldiers were everywhere, blood was flowing everywhere, it was a ghastly sight.
"Grandpa Qiu, your arm!" Luo Yihong saw that Mount Akina's entire right arm had turned into charcoal, her eyebrows trembled and she hurriedly ran over.
Mount Akina comforted her, "It's alright, Hong 'er, don't worry too much. Although Tang Jing's' Heart Piercing Small Arrow 'is vicious, it's not enough to burn my old bones. After resting for a year and a half, my arm will be as good as new. "
The women of Tian Xiang Palace came and saluted Zhao Yun, "Palace Master!" Their expressions were sorrowful, but they unconsciously revealed a relieved expression.
Although Mount Akina took special care and did not arrange a strong enemy for the disciples of Tian Xiang Palace, Tang Jing led the Tangmen, Tenshidō and other sects to attack fiercely, Tian Xiang Palace lost more than thirty female disciples. The heavily injured Mount Akina was not Tang Jing's opponent, but the people who lost their courage could not withstand the righteous alliance's ferocious attacks.
From noon to night, everyone relied on their will to die to hold on, they were prepared to lose their lives in Western Cloud Ridge, but unexpectedly, they received the good news of Sunset Tower's Master retreating. Tang Jing had no choice but to give up on attacking Western Cloud Ridge and occupying Tian Mo City, he hurriedly led his troops and left.
Luo Yihong looked around and asked loudly, "Warriors of the Castle of Fierce Beasts, do you still have the strength to attack?"
Although everyone was weak, they had no choice but to raise their strength and shout, "Yes!" Even the heavily injured beasts under their mounts gave out perfunctory roars.
Luo Yihong understood and said to Mount Akina, "Grandpa Qiu, rest well. Zhao Yun and I will go and recapture Ming Tuo City. Everyone, hurry over and take over. "
By the time Zhao Yun and Luo Yihong arrived at Ming Tuo City first, they saw flames soaring to the sky, and heard cries everywhere. Presumably the righteous faction coalition forces set the city on fire before they retreated.
King Mingtuo, the former arrogant human emperor of Mingtuo City, was also kneeling in front of the city gate, crying out miserably, "Oh heavens, I respect the will of the gods and give comfort to the people. Why did I bring about this unexpected disaster? Why did the prosperity of the past few decades turn into nothing?"
Luo Yihong came to King Ming Tuo's side and said with a frown, "You don't have to put on an act. Since we've encountered such a disaster, we'll just reduce the offerings to Ming Tuo City by half for the next three years. "
When the King heard this, he was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed, "Thank you Eldest Miss, thank you Eldest Miss!" While he was kowtowing, a terrifying thought suddenly surfaced in King Mingtuo's mind. "Although we were lucky enough to protect Mingtuo City this time, who knows if your Beast Hall can maintain its foundation for a long time? The other party is Lingyun Temple, Tenshidō, Tangmen, and the other ten major sects. Your Beast Hall can't withstand them at all. Forget it, I don't care too much. The Tangmen haven't had the time to take away the treasures in the underground palace. I have to make arrangements early. "
Zhao Yun heard a burst of cries, and she couldn't help but be moved. The Four Symbols Vital Energy moved according to her heart and flowed on the Mighty Battle God Sword. With a clang, the cold starlight shook the nine heavens, and the flames of the entire Ming Tuo City were extinguished in an instant.
Zhao Yun said to Luo Yihong, "Hong 'er, I want to go to Ming Tuo City and take a look around. Why don't … you lead people to recover Xiuqi City first? I think the bandits there have already withdrawn, so there shouldn't be anyone who can threaten you. "
Luo Yihong held Zhao Yun's arm and smiled gently, "In my heart, Ming Tuo City and Xiuqi City are not important at all. Accompanying you is what I want to do the most right now. "She turned around and instructed everyone," Go to Xiuqi City by yourselves. "
Everyone in the Beast Fort couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. They thought in their hearts, "Eldest Miss, if you don't go, won't we be like lambs in a tiger's den and die in vain if we really encounter the enemy? How can you only care about yourself and your lover, and cast aside the foundation of Beast Hall? This is really too much! "
Unfortunately, they didn't dare to say this to Luo Yihong. Everyone could only shout again weakly, "This subordinate accepts the order." They slowly moved out and headed towards Xiuqi City.
The women of Tian Xiang Palace followed beside Zhao Yun, and their hearts were filled with waves, "Haitang Palace Master has done so much for Zhao Yun, and even destroyed Tian Xiang Palace, yet he still has the heart to accompany other women."
Zhao Yun really didn't have the heart to feel Luo Yihong's tenderness and sweetness. She stepped into the city and saw that half of the houses were tilted and the wooden bridge was burnt. What was left in the small bend of the river was not clear water, but the endless flow of the people's blood!
"Mother, mother, wake up! Mother, don't die! " An eight or nine-year-old boy threw himself on a charred corpse and cried bitterly, but no matter how he shouted until his throat was dry and hoarse, he couldn't get a gentle look from his mother.
Zhao Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped, and she stared at the little boy in a daze.
Luo Yihong couldn't help but be curious, "What's so special about this boy? Why does Zhao Yun seem to be attracted to him? "She gently shook Zhao Yun's arm and called out softly," Zhao Yun, why did you stop? Your complexion … Is it because of the previous battle at Lingyun Temple that left you with an unmentionable disease? "
Zhao Yun was in a daze and didn't answer. She just stared blankly at the little boy. After a while, he seemed to have just heard Luo Yihong's concerned question. He shook his head and said, "No, my damaged divine sense has almost recovered."
"Then why did you …" Seeing that Zhao Yun was still silent, Luo Yihong couldn't help but let go of her hand and quickly walked to the little boy's side. She carefully observed him, but couldn't find anything strange.
The little boy sensed that someone had walked to his side. He raised his head blankly and asked blankly, "Big sister, do you think my mother will wake up?"
"This little boy is pitiful." Luo Yihong's heart stirred. She took out a large ingot of gold from her storage pouch and placed it beside the little boy. She said softly, "Don't cry. Find a place to bury your mother."
As soon as he heard the word "bury", the little boy cried even louder. His hands couldn't help but hammer the ground.
It turned out that although he was young, he used to see a large group of people beating gongs and drums to bury people. And those people buried underground would never wake up.
Luo Yihong returned to Zhao Yun's side. Seeing that her beloved's gaze was still lifeless, she felt even more baffled. Although she and Zhao Yun were of one heart, she couldn't guess Zhao Yun's thoughts at this moment.
Not only her, but even in the entire world, not many people could understand why Zhao Yun, who killed people like scything flax, would be so lifeless over a mere corpse for a long time.
Perhaps it was because Luo Yihong's pity for the child was different from Zhao Yun's pity for the child.
Those high and mighty people might do many kind and righteous deeds, but they could never understand the pain and sorrow of the ant-like people.
Zhao Yun, who had experienced the destruction of her family and the tragic death of her master, could truly understand this kind of bone-deep pain.
"What crimes did the common people commit …"
Zhao Yun murmured these four words, startling Luo Yihong and the women of Tianxiang Palace.
