Lu Fuyue immediately channeled all her spiritual power, abruptly turned to the side, and with her toes touching the ground, countless red lotuses conjured a red bridge in the air, allowing her to escape quickly.
However, because her speed was similar to that of the stone statue, Lu Fuyue's right shoulder bone was smashed and broken by the stone palm, and bright red blood instantly stained her white clothes.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Fuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that the stone statue was no longer chasing her. Then she fell to the ground from mid-air and fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Fuyue slowly opened her eyes. A shattering pain came from her right shoulder, and her cultivation had temporarily disappeared.
Even more seriously, because she had just burned that essence of blood, her lifespan was reduced by ten years.
So she only has ninety years left to live. In these ninety years, she must obtain the water zither string in the ancestral temple, or she will die.
Moreover, due to the side effects of the secret technique, several cracks of varying sizes appeared in Lu Fuyue's dantian.
Fortunately, she had obtained a piece of the withered bone grass that repairs the dantian in the Cangnan Secret Realm, so she had quite a few in her space.
Unfortunately, repairing the dantian is a long process, taking anywhere from three to five years to several hundred years, and one must find a safe place to seclude oneself for cultivation.
Lu Fuyue sighed, but thankfully she survived this time.
The most important thing now is to find a safe place to recover my cultivation and repair my dantian.
Lu Fuyue was about to stand up and find a way to leave this place, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stood up, her vision blurred and she fell to the ground again, feeling weak all over.
She smiled wryly and said, "Never mind, I'll rest here for a while."
Several hours later, Lu Fuyue finally regained some strength, so she slowly got up and walked down the mountain.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any monsters along the way, and it was very peaceful.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Fuyue encountered some spiritual herbs along the way and also took the opportunity to treat the injury on her shoulder.
After a day's journey, she finally returned to the foot of the mountain, the place where she had been pushed in by the two men in black robes.
There is a path in the woods at the foot of the mountain, and from her direction, she can see the exit at the end of the path.
When Lu Fuyue saw the exit, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes; she could finally leave.
However, in just a moment, the exit disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Lu Fuyue quickly realized something was wrong and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, a huge barrier enveloped the entire mountain. A wild goose flew in, but it couldn't fly out no matter what it tried.
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened. It seemed that this was the reason why those two men in black robes had brought her in. Even if she didn't die at the hands of the demon beasts, she would never be able to get out.
That's a really clever tactic.
Lu Fuyue laughed sarcastically. Since arriving in Nanling Kingdom, she had only offended a few people.
This place is also the location of the royal ancestral temple. Without that person's instruction, how could they dare to kidnap her from the palace and bring her here?
After confirming that she couldn't get out of this place, Lu Fuyue found a cave that looked decent enough to rest in.
He waited three days for his cultivation to recover before using the music of the Weak Water Zither to heal his injuries.
...
Three days later, Lu Fuyue's cultivation had recovered to 50%. The remaining 50% could only be fully recovered after the three cracks in her dantian were repaired.
The first thing to do after recovering my cultivation was to start preparing to repair my dantian.
The most important plant, the withered bone grass, grows in large patches in the space, which she isn't worried about.
Her biggest worry was that if there were some highly skilled being in this place, and they sensed something amiss when she entered or left the space, thus making connection to the existence of the space, then she would be in big trouble.
This is one of the reasons why she would not use her spatial abilities when facing life-or-death situations.
Because once discovered, death would probably be the best escape.
A month had passed since the palace banquet.
The main hall of the Southern Ling Kingdom
Sitting on the dragon throne, Nan Tingyu squinted at his personal guard Lin Pin, who was kneeling below him, and slowly asked, "How is the Crown Prince now?"
Lin Ping stiffened, and he hesitated before speaking, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince... he hasn't woken up..."
Nan Tingyu sighed almost imperceptibly. If the Crown Prince hadn't insisted on publicly humiliating the Yun family in front of so many people, he wouldn't have resorted to such drastic measures.
The Yun family has Yun Zhantian, a Golden Core cultivator at the peak, and his daughter, Yun Luoxue, is the disciple of the leader of the Southern Spirit Kingdom's Alchemy Alliance. From any perspective, the Yun family must either eliminate him or make use of him.
However, the only Golden Core Peak expert in the royal family has been in seclusion for many years and is now probably nearing the end of his lifespan, so it is impossible for him to harm the Yun family.
Therefore, he could only bind the Yun family and the royal family together tightly so that the Southern Ling Kingdom would not lose to the other three kingdoms.
A dark and ambiguous glint flashed in Nan Tingyu's eyes. As for Lu Fuyue, her background was too powerful and mysterious, which might sometimes backfire and cause trouble.
Therefore, Yun Luoxue is the best candidate for Crown Princess.
Nan Tingyu looked at Lin Ping and said, "Go and invite the leader of the Alchemy Alliance to take a look at the Crown Prince, and also invite Alchemist Lin."
Lin Ping hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, but His Highness the Crown Prince has just offended the Yun family, and the leader of the Alchemy Alliance is Miss Yun's master. Is this really appropriate...?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Tingyu's face revealed a profound meaning, and he said coldly, "If we don't let them see the Crown Prince's injuries, how can we expect them to continue standing on the side of the royal family?"
Soon, Lin Ping invited the leader of the Alchemy Alliance and Alchemist Lin to the East Palace. When they arrived, they immediately saw Nan Chuli lying on the bed with a pale face.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Alchemy Alliance snorted coldly. How dare he slap Luo Xue in the face and reject her in public, such a good girl?
If the Emperor hadn't intervened, he would have secretly given him a few blows!
Lin Danshi walked to Nan Chuli's bedside and carefully examined him. Then he shook his head helplessly, thinking that the Emperor was really ruthless.
That palm strike severed several of the Crown Prince's vital meridians. Currently, the highest-ranking alchemists in the Southern Spirit Kingdom are only third-grade, but a fourth-grade Rejuvenation Pill is needed to awaken him.
But where are they going to find fourth-grade elixirs?
He then turned to the leader of the Alchemy Alliance and said helplessly, "Senior brother, why don't you come and take a look too?"
The leader of the Alchemy Alliance walked over casually. He didn't really believe that the emperor would be so ruthless to his own son; that day was just an act for them.
