However, precisely because the entrance to Qixia Valley was the only route into Cloud Province Prefecture City and a strategic point every military force coveted, Cloud Province Prefecture stationed troops there to guard it.
If the assassins and demons targeting Princess Mingyue chose to strike at the entrance to Qixia Valley, they would easily alert the prefectural troops.
If a Divine Transformation Realm general was stationed in the army camp, then when he led the army here to rescue her, those assassins and demons would certainly withdraw decisively.
However, the entrance to Qixia Valley was so vast that they had many possible places to strike, so the prefectural troops might not necessarily discover them.
Even if the prefectural troops truly discovered them, if no expert was stationed at the main camp, they would merely be delivering themselves up on a platter.
In the end, all this was merely Princess Mingyue's wishful thinking.
Perhaps the situation was not yet so terrible. Or perhaps it was already terribly bad. None of it could be predicted!
But since Chen Fan had already accompanied Princess Mingyue this far, he could only risk his life to keep a gentleman company!
"Chen Fan, is there really nothing wrong with your wound?"
"I still have detoxification pills and healing pills here. Why not take some?"
Princess Mingyue looked at the wound on Chen Fan's left arm and asked.
"All right."
Chen Fan nodded upon hearing this. He took the detoxification pill and healing pill from Princess Mingyue's hand and swallowed one of each. He felt their medicinal power dissolve in his stomach, turning into streams of warmth that flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel utterly at ease.
As expected of an Imperial Relative, and as expected of a true disciple of Three Purities Mountain.
