You Yi was also somewhat unclear about Xuan Yuanpeng's condition: "Logically, he should wake up once the puppet gu is removed. However, his body may be too damaged, and he just had brain surgery, which has also caused significant brain damage. Let's wait and see; he should wake up eventually."
Xuanyuan Peng was not as young as Xuanyuan Yu, and his physique was not as good.
In addition, Xuanyuan Peng was controlled for a long time, which is quite different from Xuanyuan Yu's situation.
Xuanyuan Zhan nodded: "Thank you, Martial Uncle."
"Why are you being so polite with me?" You Yi said, then looked at Bai Shi and said, "Why don't you keep him company? He might wake up after a nap, or he might wake up in a little while."
"Alright." Bai Shi naturally wouldn't leave at this time.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the still unconscious Long Jiaojiao and frowned, saying, "The removal of the puppet gu shouldn't have any effect on her, right?"
Youyi shrugged: "Of course it can't have any impact. She is the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, and her body can nurture various mother Gu. The advantage of this kind of mother Gu is that removing the mother Gu will not do her any harm."
Xuanyuan Zhan gritted his teeth in anger.
That damned dragon, she's harmed so many people and yet she's gotten away with it all!
You Yi had been performing surgery for several hours and was quite tired. He packed his things and said to Bai Shi, "I'm going to rest next door. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Bai looked at Zong Jiu: "Take Physician You to the side hall to rest."
"Yes," Zong Jiu replied, and then took You Yi to rest.
Fearing that Long Jiaojiao would disturb Xuan Yuanpeng's rest, Xuan Yuanzhan had Ye Yun carry Long Jiaojiao out.
Xuanyuan Zhan also looked at Bai Shi and said, "I'll be outside. Wait for him to wake up and then call me."
Bai nodded and looked at Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening: "You two must be tired too, go and rest in the side hall."
"Okay." Not wanting Bai Shi to worry, Su Xuening went out with Xuan Yuanzhan.
Once outside, Ye Yun, carrying Long Jiaojiao, asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with this demoness?"
Xuanyuan Zhan stared at Long Jiaojiao, his eyes narrowing menacingly: "Put her down."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun immediately threw Long Jiaojiao to the ground.
Xuanyuan Zhan stepped forward and, without hesitation, raised his hand and chopped down at Long Jiaojiao's head.
With a loud "boom!", it was as if some invisible force dissipated from Long Jiaojiao's body.
"Pfft!" Long Jiaojiao's body seemed to have received a huge impact, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Long Jiaojiao finally woke up. When she saw Xuan Yuanzhan standing in front of her, she subconsciously wanted to attack him.
But when she exerted her strength, she discovered that all her internal energy had been dissipated.
Long Jiaojiao was instantly struck dumb, as if by a bolt from the blue. She glared at Xuan Yuanzhan and said through gritted teeth, "You crippled this Holy Maiden's martial arts!"
Xuan Yuanzhan stared at her menacingly: "Keeping your evil skills will only harm people."
"I'll fight you to the death!" Long Jiaojiao was furious and charged directly at Xuan Yuanzhan.
Even though Long Jiaojiao was so skilled in martial arts before, Xuan Yuanzhan didn't take her seriously, let alone now that she has lost all her martial arts skills.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xuanyuan Zhan easily sent Long Jiaojiao flying.
Long Jiaojiao crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Ignoring the pain, Long Jiaojiao screamed in anger: "Xuanyuan Zhan, you deserve to die! How dare you cripple my martial arts! Do you know how much effort I put into cultivating the Free and Unfettered Divine Skill to the eighth level, and you just crippled it like that!"
Heaven knows how much she did to gradually cultivate the Free and Unfettered Divine Skill to the eighth level. That damned Xuan Yuanzhan, he actually ruined all her efforts of her entire life so easily.
She wanted to kill him, she wanted to tear him to pieces, but even that couldn't quell the hatred in her heart!
Xuan Yuanzhan knew perfectly well how many men she had harmed in order to acquire this evil skill.
This kind of evil martial art should not exist in this world at all!
Her sins deserve far more than this punishment; crippling her martial arts skills is merely the beginning.
"Take her to the torture chamber and keep a close watch on her yourself. Do not allow anyone to approach her."
"Yes." Ye Yun immediately responded, then raised his hand and knocked Long Jiaojiao unconscious again before carrying her to the torture chamber.
He didn't want this vixen chattering on his back. Most importantly, even if she lost her martial arts skills, he was still afraid she might give him some kind of insects or something. He would feel most at ease if she knocked him unconscious.
Ye Yun had been the one to knock out Long Jiaojiao before, so knocking out Long Jiaojiao this time was a piece of cake for him.
After Ye Yun took Long Jiaojiao away, Xuan Yuanzhan arranged accommodations for Lan Jingxiao, Shao Jingling, and the others.
Because they were all distinguished guests brought by Su Xuening from Xiliang, and the palace was in great chaos, Xuanyuan Zhan did not arrange for them to go to other palaces, but directly arranged for them to stay in Chengqian Palace.
Anyway, Chengqian Palace is very large and has many empty palaces, so it's possible to accommodate a few people.
Su Yun'an, Dao Yi, and the others were also arranged to rest.
As for Ling Lang and Bai Ying, they hadn't had time to rest yet. Although the war had ended, there were still many things to deal with in the army.
Xuan Yuanzhan felt at ease leaving these matters to them, so he took Su Xuening to rest in the side hall next door.
"You must be tired. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
There were too many things to do in the palace, so it wasn't convenient for them to return to the Holy King's Mansion.
Su Xuening was really tired, and soon fell asleep in Xuan Yuanzhan's arms.
Xuanyuan Zhan, however, could not fall asleep no matter what he did. Even though he had not closed his eyes for countless nights, and now that the war had ended and everything had settled down, he still could not sleep at all.
