"I see." The people in the Holy Court were of a superior status, and most of them did not understand the struggle for imperial power in the secular world. Tian Annan was no exception. After hearing what Wu Tianxiong said, he did not feel comfortable urging them.
"Lord Tian, don't worry. It's just one night. Tomorrow is the death date of the Yue family. I will kill Mu Hanyan with my own hands to avenge Master Wen Liang and Jian Jue and the others." Wu Tianxiong said with high spirits.
Tian Annan nodded. He'd risked his life sneaking into the palace to test Lu Nianxin's true intentions, either to fulfill Wu Tianxiong's ambitions or to use him to avenge Tian Wenliang and his five disciples. After all, with Ye Lanxun around, he'd never dared confront Mu Hanyan directly, or even let anyone know what he was doing behind her back.
Anyway, it's just a matter of waiting one more night. Even if Lu Nianxin had a great opportunity, it would be impossible for her to break the forbidden technique in such a short time, so there's no need to worry too much. Thinking of this, Tian Annan felt that he was being too cautious.
"By the way, Jian Jue and his companions were carrying several magical weapons. When they were sent back a few days ago, the magical weapons disappeared. I wonder if they fell into Mu Hanyan's hands. Wait until you kill Mu Hanyan and look for them carefully." Tian Annan said to Wu Tianxiong again.
He had finally managed to snatch those Destiny Star Plates and Ruyi Hair Crown from a master of the Temple, but they disappeared after the competition. He had long suspected Mu Hanyan, but he had no evidence and could not go to her house to ask for them. More importantly, he did not dare to let Ye Lanxun know about his relationship with Jing Jianjue and others, let alone let him know that he had a secret collection of Temple magic weapons.
"Don't worry, Master Tian. That is Jian Jue's possession. I will search for it carefully." Having said that, Wu Tianxiong said tentatively, "Master Tian, if something unexpected happens, I wonder if you can help me?"
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Tian Annan said cautiously.
Over the years, the royal families of various countries have long been wary of the Holy Court and will never easily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. Moreover, he does not want to completely break off relations with Ye Lanxuan, nor does he want to show up easily.
"Lord Tian, you are worrying too much. Those people from the Yue family will naturally be dealt with by my Wu family. There is no need for you to take action. I am just worried that some generals in the imperial guards will be ungrateful. If something goes wrong, I would like to ask Lord Tian to use his status as a tribute of my Wu family to intimidate them." Wu Tianxiong said.
"If that's all, then I'll reluctantly help you again." Tian Annan thought it over again and again and nodded.
It was just to intimidate a few generals in the Imperial City Guards. There was no need to show up in public. If anyone was ungrateful, he would be killed with lightning speed. Afterwards, he would turn around and leave. I'm afraid no one would even be able to see his face clearly, so who would know his identity? In order to avenge his beloved son and Jing Jianjue and others, doing this little thing was not a big deal.
…
In mid-air, the wind and clouds shifted. The spatial barrier was broken open, and two completely different forces of heaven and earth converged simultaneously.
But this time, with the sword techniques at Ye Lanxun's fingertips and the hand gestures at Fen Qianji's, the two forces of heaven and earth did not conflict at all, and they coexisted peacefully.
The aura of the two men was also constantly increasing, one was majestic and sacred, the other was mysterious and solemn.
A stream of golden air flowed into Lu Nianxin's meridians. In almost an instant, the restriction originally hidden in the meridians was broken, and a trace of pain appeared on Lu Nianxin's face.
The Saint Emperor's sword energy was truly powerful. While it instantly shattered the restrictions and opened up her meridians, it also inflicted immense damage. As the Saint Emperor's sword energy continued to flow, restrictions vanished wherever it passed, but it also ripped through her meridians. The pain was so intense that even a Sword Saint like Lu Nianxin could hardly endure it.
Yan Zishu didn't dare delay, and the golden needle in his hand pierced her body swiftly. Lu Nianxin felt the pain ease, and the ruptured meridians remained in their original state, with no signs of worsening. With such an injury, she didn't even need to take any elixirs; with her own cultivation level, she could heal quickly.
The sword energy of the Divine Emperor continued to flow, and when all the hidden restrictions in the body's eight extraordinary meridians were broken, it finally poured into the sea of qi.
"Crack!" Lu Nianxin heard the sound of the qi sea bursting.
Even though she had long seen through the world and was not even afraid of death, at this moment, she still felt a little uneasy when she thought that all her life's cultivation might be turned into nothing.
But she soon put her mind at ease. Yan Zishu's golden needles moved continuously, firmly guarding her Qi Sea. Her Qi Sea only showed a slight crack at the moment the restriction was broken, and was completely intact.
Lu Nianxin was secretly impressed by Yan Zishu's medical skills, and even more so by his cultivation. She knew that while Yan Zishu was administering acupuncture, he would also be impacted by the Saint Emperor's sword energy. If a doctor below the rank of Sword Saint had been in her place, it would be hard to say whether he could save her, let alone himself.
With such superb medical skills and such cultivation, he is worthy of being the head of a family of miraculous doctors. Lu Nianxin asked himself, even with his own talent, if he practiced swordsmanship and medicine together, he would never be able to achieve the same level of accomplishment as Yan Zishu.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little worried again.
Compared with Yan Zishu, Han Yan is still too young. Even if he has some medical skills and is capable, how can he compare with Yan Zishu.
She was not worried about herself, but was worried that Mu Hanyan would be injured by the Holy Emperor's sword energy if she tried to be brave.
"Hanyan, don't force yourself when you take action later. Grandma is old. Even if she is not affected by this forbidden technique, she may not live long. Don't harm yourself in order to save grandma." Lu Nian took a deep breath and said to Mu Hanyan.
"The Queen Mother is worrying too much. With Miss Mu's medical skills, there is absolutely no danger at all." Before Mu Hanyan could say anything, Yan Zishu spoke for her.
Medicine and alchemy were inherently connected. Although he had never witnessed Mu Hanyan's medical skills, he had seen her "Stars Falling from the Eight Wastelands" technique for forming a pill. With that technique, even if she couldn't suppress Ye Lanxun's Saint Emperor Sword Qi, she would never be harmed by it. Even Yan Zishu envied her technique. The Queen Mother was also distracted by her concern and underestimated her precious granddaughter.
But he didn't know that Lu Nianxin had never seen Mu Hanyan's alchemy skills, so it would be strange if she wasn't worried.
As soon as the restriction in the sea of qi was broken, Ye Lanxun's Holy Emperor sword energy rushed towards Lu Nianxin's heart meridian.
A flash of white light appeared in Fen Qianji's hand, and a rune formed by light and shadow seemed to be real, flying towards her heart.
Everyone's eyes were fixed. This was the last and most crucial step.
