After more than half an hour, Jiang Liu finally withdrew his Saintly Sky Art energy, sat cross-legged, and began to recover the energy he had just consumed.
The energy I expended healing Murong Lie just now was no less than that of fighting a full-force battle.
Murong Lie continued to circulate his cultivation technique, expelling the foreign energy from his body.
At this moment, the Fire-Winged Monkey's powerful aura appeared above Jiang Liu's head.
Fire-Winged Monkey glanced at the two people sitting cross-legged, then stood still in mid-air, guarding them.
About an hour later, Jiang Liu was the first to regain consciousness and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Jiang Liu turned to look at Murong Lie and found that he seemed to be alright, as his breathing was calm and long.
Sensing that the Fire-Winged Monkey was in mid-air, Jiang Liu leaped up and flew to the Fire-Winged Monkey's side.
Jiang Liu observed the Fire-Winged Monkey for a moment, and then asked it a question through their mental bond.
The information emanating from the Fire-Winged Monkey's mental fluctuations indicated that the two Grandmaster had likely already escaped.
Actually, this was within Jiang Liu's expectations. If the two of them cooperated well, it would be easy for them to escape from the Fire-Winged Monkey.
The man and the monkey waited for quite a while before Murong Lie finally finished his practice and stood up.
However, judging from his complexion, his internal injuries probably won't heal so quickly.
Currently, the injury has only been temporarily suppressed; I will need to seek medical treatment at the Physician Pavilion later.
Jiang Liu landed and asked Murong Lie, "Grandpa Murong, are you alright for now?"
Murong Lie nodded and said, "It's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise, I would have been killed by those eunuchs."
"Grandpa Murong, could you explain in detail what happened?"
"It all started when I entered the Tian Province Mountains. At first, I didn't find anything, but as I went deeper, I felt like someone was always following me."
"At the time, I didn't pay much attention and thought it was just my imagination. After all, there are many Exotic Beasts in the deep mountains and forests. Maybe it was some kind of Exotic Beast that I didn't know about."
"Soon I witnessed a scene that I will never forget. Someone had captured some martial artists in the mountains to use them to cultivate a kind of evil art that I had never seen before."
"At first, I didn't know who they were. Later, it was because of their effeminate aura that they couldn't hide that I found out they were actually royal eunuchs."
"When I withdrew later, they found out and kept chasing me. A Grandmaster led several Minor Grandmaster, as if they wanted to kill me."
"Because they didn't have many men, I was able to escape. I exchanged several blows with that Grandmaster and suffered injuries with that dead eunuch."
"However, that dead eunuch's cultivation technique was very domineering, and it gradually invaded my meridians. That's why I fled all the way from Lei County to Tianan City in Di County to hide. But they still found me."
"Fortunately, their experts haven't arrived yet, but you've already come."
"Although I didn't stay in those mountains for long, I discovered a strange situation there that seems somewhat similar to what you described."
After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he nodded. He guessed that Murong Lie was old when he was promoted to Grandmaster, so his combat strength was not as good as that of an ordinary Grandmaster.
Unexpectedly, the royal family, in order to cultivate the strength of their subordinates, also embarked on the path of practicing evil arts.
That's quite possible, after all, judging from the actions of the current emperor, he's unlikely to be content with a mundane life.
Fortunately, Murong Lie discovered it in time, so they probably haven't been cultivating for very long.
However, the discovery of this mysterious place was an unexpected bonus.
Now that this mysterious place has been discovered by the royal family, it's unclear whether the Cultivation Pearl has been taken.
Even if they take it, it's fine; at most, it will just be used as a bead that can condense ordinary spiritual energy.
Jiang Liu said, "Grandpa Murong, let's go to the Physician Pavilion now to continue treating your injuries!"
Murong Lie shook his head and said, "My injuries are no longer serious. Let's go to Lei County first!"
Jiang Liu disagreed, saying, "Grandpa Murong, although your injuries are not serious for the time being, I'm afraid you won't make it if you don't get treatment soon."
"If you don't want to be treated in Tian Province, then I'll have the Fire-Winged Monkey escort you to Qi Province!"
"As for Lei County, you can draw a map, and I can go and check it myself."
Murong Lie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Jiang Liu's suggestion. He decided to return to Qi Province for treatment first, since he didn't know what the situation would be like in Tian Province.
Then Murong Lie drew a map on the ground so that Jiang Liu could find the place he had discovered earlier.
Jiang Liu then summoned the Fire-Winged Monkey and, through a mental bond, gave it instructions to take Murong Lie to Qi Province and then back to Lei County in Tian Province.
The Fire-Winged Monkey seemed to understand, and nodded to Jiang Liu in response to Jiang Liu instructions.
Then, the Fire-Winged Monkey Illusory Transformation a chair of energy on its back, turned its head to look at Murong Lie, and nodded at him.
Jiang Liu was somewhat moved by this scene; the Fire-Winged Monkey was becoming more and more human-like.
Murong Lie was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He did not expect that the Beast Emperor's comprehension was so high that it had become so human-like.
Then, he leaped onto the seat on the back of the Fire-Winged Monkey and waved goodbye to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu waved goodbye to Murong Lie, while the Fire-Winged Monkey spread its wings and flapped them hard, flying towards the direction of Yue County in Qi Province.
After watching the Fire-Winged Monkey and Murong Lie depart, Jiang Liu immediately channeled his energy and flew towards Tianan.
Taking advantage of the current darkness, it's a good time to go back into Tianan City and explore further.
Murong Lie was here just now, and for Murong Lie's safety, it was inconvenient for him to seek revenge against those two Grandmaster.
He was now going to check if the two Grandmaster were still there. If they were, he didn't intend to let them off easily.
Upon reaching Tianan City, Jiang Liu leaped into the air and flew directly over the city wall.
The guards on the city wall were completely unaware that Jiang Liu had already flown past.
After entering Tianan City, Jiang Liu flew directly towards the City Lord's Mansion, following the typical layout of a city.
Upon arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Liu held his breath and, with a leap, silently entered the City Lord's Mansion.
After entering, Jiang Liu looked around and found that this was the back garden, where he could see candlelight in the distance.
Jiang Liu flashed and arrived in front of him.
It turned out that this was the study of the City Lord's Mansion. When Jiang Liu got closer, he saw two people inside discussing something.
"My lord, what do those two dead eunuchs need so many martial artists for?"
"Don't ask any more questions, just do as I say!" another person said with a slightly helpless tone.
"We are the Tianwu Army, we can't just obey their orders like this! We are not under their jurisdiction."
"Then what can we do? Can't you see the situation clearly? The Emperor only trusts the eunuchs in the palace now."
"Sigh!" "Sigh!" Two helpless sighs came from the two of them.
