"Hmm, you don't need to worry too much!"
Mu Jinyu gave Mei Yinxue a reassuring smile, comforting her.
Seeing Mu Jinyu's smile, Mei Yinxue felt significantly calmer.
Thinking of Mu Jinyu's profound medical skills, Mei Yinxue felt more confident and no longer panicked.
Seeing that Mei Yinxue's emotions had stabilized, Mu Jinyu walked toward the sickbed.
At that time, Zhu Yeqing lay extremely weak on the bed, her face pale and devoid of any color, breathing in little and exhaling much, completely looking like she was about to die.
Mu Jinyu frowned deeply, walked over, and pulled back the thin blanket covering Zhu Yeqing, only to see a horrific wound deep enough to reveal bone on her abdomen, caused by a sharp weapon.
Above the wound, there were strands of strange True Qi, clinging to the bone like a tumor, continuously draining her life force.
This was the reason why Zhu Yeqing, a Complete Energy Transformation Stage Grandmaster, had been reduced to a breath away from death after such a slash.
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu saw the bizarre True Qi and knew this was not a technique a Master of Energy Transformation could possess, his eyebrows furrowing tighter.
Although Energy Transformation Warriors were known as Masters of Martial Arts, they were still within the normal range of martial artists, mainly using Force Energy, except that a Master of Energy Transformation utilized Dark Energy and Mingjin to the point of perfection.
However, True Qi and True Yuan were powers of the God Realm that could mobilize the vast Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, allowing for short periods of flight and the use of supernatural techniques and powers, thus they were called Terrestrial Immortals.
The person who injured Zhu Yeqing was a powerful figure of the God Realm.
However...
Mu Jinyu found it strange, why had Zhu Yeqing confronted a God Realm powerhouse and managed to escape even after being injured?
Shaking his head slightly, Mu Jinyu stopped thinking about these problems, took out the Silver Needles, and began treating Zhu Yeqing.
Luckily, he was now also a powerful figure in the God Realm and had also activated the Azure Dragon Bloodline, which when applied, meant his True Essence Power also carried endless vitality, making the healing more effective.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have been able to remove the strange True Qi from Zhu Yeqing's wounds in the first step, let alone carry out further treatment.
...
While Mu Jinyu treated Zhu Yeqing,
In the suburbs of the Capital City, not far from Dragon King Hall's headquarters,
A man and a woman were walking slowly through the wilderness, heading straight for the Dragon King Hall.
As they walked, they were discussing.
"A mere Energy Transformation Warrior daring to steal from us, truly courting death!"
"But, she did have some tricks up her sleeve to actually escape from us, she does have some capability."
"Let's see where she runs; she must have accomplices helping her. We can go slowly and squish these bugs along the way!"
As they coldly spoke, suddenly the middle-aged man showed a look of surprise and anger, saying, "What's going on? The strand of True Qi I injected into her body is being dissolved by someone?"
"How is that possible?" The woman, upon hearing the man's words, also changed her expression and said, "Senior brother, you have broken through to the God Realm, your True Qi should not be dissipated by any ordinary Energy Transformation Warrior."
Saying this, the woman's expression changed again and said, "Could it be they also have a God Realm powerhouse?"
"So what if they have?" By this time, the man had regained his composure and coldly laughed, "The opponent must be just like me, having only recently entered the God Realm; otherwise it wouldn't have taken them so long to just barely dissolve my strand of True Qi."
"Let's go and see who dares be so bold as to snatch from my hands!" said the middle-aged man named Ye Chen, quickening his pace as he moved in the direction he remembered.
The woman hurriedly followed him.
The direction they headed was exactly toward the Dragon King Hall.
...
Dragon King Hall Headquarters.
Mu Jinyu still didn't know that the enemy who had injured Zhu Yeqing was following them, carried by the strand of True Qi.
He briefly studied the mechanism of this True Qi, understanding how it continuously drew the life force from the injured, and quickly figured it out. With a light chuckle, he directly neutralized the strand of True Qi.
Then he began to treat Zhu Yeqing with his unique Wood Attribute True Essence.
Mu Jinyu's True Essence was very unique. Normally, an injury like Zhu Yeqing's, which was nearly fatal, could also be treated with Silver Needles, but the healing process would take a day or two.
Now, in just five minutes, he had rapidly healed Zhu Yeqing's wounds and replenished the life force she had lost, causing her pale complexion to gradually regain its rosiness.
Mei Yinxue stood by, watching Mu Jinyu's miraculous methods, and couldn't help but be amazed.
The worry in her heart for Zhu Yeqing had completely vanished.
"Uh..."
At this moment, as her injuries gradually improved, Zhu Yeqing let out a comfortable moan, and her tense nerves immediately snapped her back to reality, reflexively preparing to get up and flee.
"Don't move!"
Mu Jinyu pressed her down, saying, "Your wounds aren't fully healed yet. Wait until you're better before moving."
"Huh?!" Hearing Mu Jinyu's voice, Zhu Yeqing quickly remembered his identity, and her initially instinctive retaliatory movements stopped, as she turned to look at him.
Seeing that she was in a room with both Mu Jinyu and Mei Yinxue, Zhu Yeqing also remembered that she had used a secret technique to escape from Ye Chen and had subconsciously run toward the Dragon King Hall.
Clearly, Mu Jinyu had rescued her.
It seemed her decision before nearly passing out had not been wrong.
Zhu Yeqing felt relieved.
Then, Zhu Yeqing thought of something, her expression suddenly changing. She quickly took out a crystal-clear jade-like piece from her bosom and handed it to Mu Jinyu, then got up and said, "Dragon King, take care of this Spirit Stone for me. If I don't make it back, consider it a gift..."
Before Mu Jinyu could react, Zhu Yeqing rushed to the window, broke it, and jumped out, intending to leave the Dragon King Hall.
To not burden them!
Zhu Yeqing knew the caliber of her enemy, a God Realm powerhouse!
And the only God Realm powerhouse in Dragon King Hall, Xiang Mantang, had long since disappeared, so how could they stand a chance?
Because of the lack of information, Zhu Yeqing wasn't aware that Mu Jinyu had, in fact, reached God Realm cultivation after waking up.
"Bang!!"
Upon landing, Zhu Yeqing quickly ran toward the iron netting of the Dragon King Hall, then climbed the fence and ran away.
With the Spirit Stone in hand, Mu Jinyu hadn't even had time to be astonished that Zhu Yeqing had managed to acquire a Spirit Stone when he saw her running away.
After a quick thought, he guessed that Zhu Yeqing must think she was being hunted by a God Realm adversary but didn't know his true power, so she had decided on this course of action.
"What should we do?" Mei Yinxue looked at Mu Jinyu, worry in her eyes.
Mu Jinyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's follow her. She is just unaware of my strength and fears implicating us, that's why she's running."
As Mei Yinxue prepared to join him, Mu Jinyu said, "You stay here, don't come with us."
"Okay." Mei Yinxue also knew her strength was too weak, and following them would only be a burden, so she didn't argue with Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu then jumped out of the window himself, his Divine Sense locking onto Zhu Yeqing's location, and he ran toward the northwestern iron fence!
"Eh!"
As he ran, Mu Jinyu exclaimed in surprise, realizing Zhu Yeqing's speed was incredibly fast, unlike that of a typical Complete Energy Transformation Stage Warrior.
No wonder she had managed to escape from a God Realm chase!
