Xiao He also noticed Luo Xi and the others.
"Damn it, they actually used the 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' trick." He cursed under his breath.
But everyone was so engrossed in the killing that Xiao He had no idea who Luo Xi and the others were.
It seems we have no choice but to fight to the death.
Before the two sides could even start fighting, the sapling that had been suspended in mid-air moved again. It "whooshed" into the sky, spinning rapidly as it flew, emitting a dazzling light.
Rosie had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, it spun for about half a minute, then exploded with a "bang," turning into scattered silver light that drifted everywhere, and soon nothing could be seen anymore.
Seeing this outcome, for some reason, Luo Xi felt a sense of relief.
Xiao He, however, thought differently; he was furious.
The treasure I painstakingly acquired, just like that... gone?
He was unwilling to accept it!
"Loxi, your life is mine."
Xiao He directed all his hatred at Luo Xi, drew his longsword, pointed it at the sky, and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my command! Charge! Kill Luo..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the sky suddenly cracked, and a bolt of lightning struck straight down on the sword.
Xiao He suddenly got a free perm, a full-body one, and his whole body was suddenly filled with wisps of black smoke, smelling like barbecue. He was dead.
Everyone was stunned.
However, after a while, everyone lost interest in Xiao He, because with that clap of thunder, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
Yes, it was a heavy rain, the kind that soaks the ground in no time.
"Great, it's finally raining!" Qi Lei opened his arms wide, enjoying the refreshing rain.
He hadn't seen such heavy rain in so long.
Everyone present reacted similarly to him, tilting their faces up and letting the rain patter down on them, their expressions one of pure enjoyment.
Baihu was also very happy, but he did not forget Xiao He's subordinates on the other side.
"Boss, what should we do with them?"
Before Luo Xi could speak, a large group of people approached from a distance and soon arrived in front of Luo Xi.
It was Xia Zhong who finally arrived with his army: "I am late, please punish me, Chief."
Immediately afterward, Le Zheng Feiyuan, covered in blood, arrived with his men, saying the same thing.
Loxi: "..."
This whole drama only happened after the matter was resolved. Why does it feel so familiar?
"Get up, everyone." Luo Xi didn't want to say anything more.
Xiao He's subordinates looked at each other.
What's the point of fighting?!
The soldier closest to the enemy swiftly threw down his weapon and knelt down with a thud.
"Boss Luo, we surrender."
Seeing this, the others also dropped their weapons and raised their hands above their heads.
Luo Xi had no time to care about these people right now: "Le Zheng Feiyuan, I'm leaving this to you."
As she spoke, she gestured for Qinglong to carry Jiuxian toward the military camp, otherwise, if they delayed any longer, Jiuxian might not survive.
Fortunately, it wasn't far, and they arrived in no time. After settling Jiuxian in a military tent, Luo Xi quickly had someone summon a military doctor.
But after taking her pulse, the military doctor shook his head at Luo Xi with a grave expression.
“Master, I am not skilled enough to heal Ninth Master’s injury.” He said, “Why don’t you send someone to call Doctor Nan? Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.”
"Is it that serious?" Luo Xi thought that Jiu Xian was fine after taking the pill and waking up.
Even if he just fainted again, he was probably just tired. I never expected him to be so badly injured.
"Where exactly is he injured?" Rose asked.
The military doctor looked at Jiuxian's face with admiration: "Master Jiu has probably suffered inhuman torture. His internal organs are ruptured in many places. He is still alive only because of something that is holding him up."
Luo Xi knew that it must have been the medicine given by Nan Wushang.
"Do everything you can to make sure he lives and waits for Nan Wushang's arrival," she told the army doctor.
Actually, Luo Xi had already sent someone to call Nan Wushang a few days ago, and he should be arriving soon.
"I will do my utmost," the military doctor quickly wrote out a prescription.
While waiting for others, the rain never stopped, drizzling continuously. The drought that had plagued the land for many years was finally over.
As for whether all of this has anything to do with the spirit spring tree, no one knows.
Despite the rain, Yue Zhengfeiyuan finished dealing with matters on the battlefield.
"Chief, shall we take a temporary truce, or march south and conquer the entire Tianqi Dynasty?" he asked.
In fact, he hoped that Roxi would choose the latter, because the current situation was really too advantageous for them. If they delayed, who knew what other changes might occur, and how many twists and turns would arise if they wanted to send troops later?
Kele Zheng Feiyuan also knew that the Ninth Master was on the verge of death and it was hard to say whether he could pull through. As for the Big Boss, she actually cared a lot about the Ninth Master.
How could Luo Xi not understand his concerns? However, he said, "I'll take care of Jiu Xian. As for taking Tian Qi, I'll leave it to you."
She took out the tiger tally and handed it over: "From today onwards, all the soldiers of Chaoyang will be under your command. I will also have Yin Lisijia and the others cooperate with you in battle. Food and supplies will be absolutely plentiful."
Le Zhengfei Yuan was startled and knelt down on one knee to respectfully accept the tiger tally.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
His voice was loud and steady, his eyes held an unwavering determination and a hint of gratitude.
Honestly, given the current state of the world, it would be incredibly easy for them to take it over; anyone could do it. Yet, the leader gave this honor to him.
