Baihu exclaimed in surprise, "Yoruichi, it's you!"
"Aren't you one of Qinglong's men? Where is he? Is he alright? Why are you the only one who came back?"
Since the main altar was breached, there has been no news of Qinglong. Of the four guardians of the Red Mansion, only he and Qinglong remain.
"Don't worry, Chief, don't worry, Protector Bai, Protector Qing is fine. Moreover, with the help of General Xiao Yi's inside man, we even met the Lord of the Tower," Ye Yi said.
Luo Xi's heart finally settled down, but then she noticed that the assassin named Yoruichi looked a little off.
"Did something happen to Jiuxian?" she asked.
Yoruichi glanced up at Luo Xi and gave a soft "hmm": "The sect leader... had his dantian shattered by an internal martial arts master, so his martial arts are essentially ruined!"
“When I saw him yesterday, he was still unconscious and his pulse was very weak.”
"Snap!"
The cup in Luo Xi's hand instantly fell to the ground and shattered: "What did you say? His martial arts... are crippled?"
How could this be?
Besides eating, Jiuxian is most obsessed with martial arts. What would he do if he lost his martial arts skills?
"Didn't I give you all the spiritual spring water? Foolish, why didn't you give him some to drink?" Luo Xi's eyes were red.
Seeing this, Chu Zhe quickly took two steps over, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Luo Xi, calm down."
Loki raised her hand to her forehead and apologized. After a while, she regained her composure, took a deep breath, and said to Yoruichi, "Go on."
"Yes!" Yoruichi knew that the leader was worried about the master, but she didn't pay any attention to it.
"Guardian Qing gave it to the Lord, but..." He pursed his lips and said with a wry smile, "I don't know if it's because too much time has passed or because the injury is too serious, but the effect... is not very good."
"That's why Protector Qing stayed behind, trying to give the Master some internal energy every now and then, just in case he couldn't hold on."
If someone needs to channel their internal energy to support you, then the situation is not good.
Le Zheng Feiyuan said anxiously, "Chief, now that the location has been confirmed, shall we immediately send troops to rescue them?"
“Alright!” Luo Xi stood up immediately: “I’ll take the Red Mansion assassins and go ahead. You stay here with the army to confuse them. If Xiao He makes any move, stop him immediately.”
“Otherwise, if we leave, Xiao He will definitely find out immediately, and then we probably won’t even have a chance to save them.”
"Yes, this subordinate knows what to do," Yue Zheng Feiyuan replied.
Finally, Chu Zhe and Luo Xi, along with a group of assassins from the Red Mansion, quickly followed Ye Yichao to the place where Jiu Xian was imprisoned.
Everyone there knew martial arts, and the horses they rode were top-quality steeds specially selected by Yue Zheng Feiyuan, so they were incredibly fast. In just half a day, they arrived at the other side of the mountain where they were being held.
"Whoa—" At this moment, Yoruichi, who was at the front, pulled on the reins and stopped the horse.
The white tiger nearly crashed into it, and it took it a while to regain control of the horse.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Ye Yi squinted and looked down at the foot of the mountain: "It seems to be the Lord and the others. General Xiao rescued the Lord and the others before we did, for some reason."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi spurred his horse forward to look, and indeed it was true.
At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yi was at the forefront, wielding his long sword with a whooshing sound. However, upon closer inspection, it was clear that he was exhausted, and his movements were slightly sluggish.
Behind Xiao Yi, his old subordinates formed a circle, also fighting fiercely. In the very center, Qinglong struggled to carry the still unconscious Jiuxian on his back, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings.
There were layers upon layers of enemies there, and they were impossible to kill them all. On the outermost edge, there were some enemies standing there watching them like they were clowns.
Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat: "Quick, go help."
After she finished speaking, she abandoned the horse and used her supernatural power to its fullest extent, leaping towards the foot of the mountain like a bird.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon at the foot of the mountain spotted Luo Xi and the others, and his calm eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light: "Boss, it's the Boss who's come to save us."
The general commanding the battle from the outermost perimeter also saw the people on the mountainside. His expression changed: "Quick, stop playing around, attack them all at once."
The Prime Minister had already said that if anyone came to rescue him, they should kill Jiu Xian first and absolutely not let him return alive.
As the general spoke, he picked up his crossbow, aimed at the nine-stringed bow, and fired.
Qinglong saw this and quickly swung his weapon to block, but what he didn't know was that it was a repeating crossbow, and there would be a second and a third arrow after the first one.
Luo Xi, who hadn't arrived yet, cried out in alarm, "No—"
But she was too far away, and could only watch helplessly as Jiuxian drew closer and closer to death.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side and stood in front of Jiu Xian without hesitation, and the arrows pierced his chest one after another.
It's Xiao Yi.
The general was so angry that his face turned ashen: "The Prime Minister was right after all. A lowly servant's son is a lowly servant's son, an ungrateful wretch who can never be raised."
But since things had already come to this, he had no choice but to immediately load the arrows and prepare to try again. He wanted to see who would stand up for Jiuxian this time.
However, how could Loxi give her a chance? She swung a spatial blade from afar, and the general didn't even have time to shout before he fell to the ground.
At this moment, Baihu arrived with the Red Mansion assassins. They immediately joined the battle, and the enemy was quickly overwhelmed and wiped out in no time.
Luo Xi quickly walked towards Jiu Xian, only to find him lying weakly behind Qing Long. Luo Xi quickly took out the box given to him by Nan Wu Shang, took out the bottle at the bottom, poured out the pill, and put it into his mouth.
Fortunately, not long after Jiuxian swallowed it, he opened his eyes.
