Jiang Yingyue's heart was still pounding. Instead of immediately grabbing the Thunder Sword, she quickly ran to Ye Qingzhu and Ji Yinglei's side.
Although their injuries were not fatal, they were still quite serious, especially Ye Qingzhu, who was closest to Qin Huang at the time and suffered burns in many places. However, she was unable to treat them herself and could only use the medicine she carried with her to treat their wounds.
Just as she was bandaging Ye Qingzhu, Ji Yinglei opened her eyes. Her brows were furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with Qin Huang's performance. Where Jiang Yingyue couldn't see, the Thunder Sword released a little electricity in accordance with Ji Yinglei's wishes.
Qin Huang, who was not yet completely dead, took the opportunity to desperately reach out. The moment he successfully obtained the Thunder Sword, a bolt of electricity shot straight towards Jiang Yingyue, but she did not notice it at all.
Unfortunately, the electric current released by the weakened Qin Huang dissipated like dust before it even reached Jiang Yingyue's side, just like Qin Huang's life, which gradually lost its vitality.
Ji Yinglei suppressed his anger. He hadn't expected that Qin Huang hadn't been able to kill Jiang Yingyue. Even in such a desperate situation, she not only survived but also completely activated the Nine Heavens.
"Cough cough... Yue'er..." Ji Yinglei feigned weakness, and Jiang Yingyue immediately stepped forward to check on him. "You won, that's great."
"Don't move." Jiang Yingyue hesitated for a moment. At this moment, she could no longer call her "senior sister." She was extremely suspicious of the person in front of her, as if she were just a devil wearing Ji Yinglei's skin. "I'll bandage you."
Ji Yinglei shook her head: "I'm fine, Yue'er." She looked at Qin Huang's corpse and sighed, "Qingzhu's injuries are too severe."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingzhu suddenly coughed violently. She opened her eyes abruptly, but was startled by the pain in her body. Jiang Yingyue leaned down and said, "It's okay, don't move. We've already won, Qingzhu."
Ye Qingzhu finally calmed down, and Ji Yinglei said at this moment, "It's all my fault. If I had been able to gain Lei Mingjian's approval back then, things wouldn't be like this now."
These words reminded Jiang Yingyue that Ji Yinglei was the true owner of the Thunder Sword. Jiang Yingyue walked to Qin Huang's side, picked up the Thunder Sword, and just like back in the Bright Moon Sect, the sword lay quietly in Jiang Yingyue's hand without any reaction.
If it were before, she would have handed the sword to Ji Yinglei without hesitation.
Jiang Yingyue sighed. She couldn't trust Ji Yinglei, nor could she gamble on that one in ten thousand chance. Jiang Yingyue carried the Thunder Sword at her waist, something Ji Yinglei hadn't expected either.
“It’s okay, I can do it too,” Jiang Yingyue said, then turned to Ji Yinglei, “After such a long time, I am indeed no longer the person I used to be.”
Ji Yinglei was burning with anger, but she still put on a fake smile. Jiang Yingyue could feel that the laurel scent on her body was still there, but she was different: "Then let's go, Yue'er, there's only one last hurdle."
“No.” Jiang Yingyue stopped Ji Yinglei. “I may have to walk the road ahead alone.”
Ji Yinglei's eyes trembled slightly, and he almost reflexively said, "No." He quickly added, "It's too dangerous. Facing Qin Huang was a near-death experience, let alone Bai Yu?"
Jiang Yingyue tried her best to keep her face expressionless, as if to tell Ji Yinglei: My mind is made up. More importantly, Ji Yinglei had blurted out Qin Huang's name in his haste; if she had just fallen into a coma, she wouldn't have known.
However, she silently noted down this loophole: "Because you have more important things to do." She took out a small amulet, which Ji Yinglei recognized at a glance: it was the one that the two of them wore on their carrier pigeons, which was why they could always find each other.
Jiang Yingyue then cut her talisman in half, giving one half to Ye Qingzhu: "You guys recover here first. You can contact me through this if anything happens. Similarly, I will contact you as soon as I need anything."
This wasn't necessarily a bad thing; for Ji Yinglei, avoiding facing Bai Yu in the end was a better choice. However, she still feigned objection: "But..."
“Bai Yu is unaware of your situation. There is still one medical envoy who has not yet appeared, and I also need my trump card.” As she spoke, Jiang Yingyue turned her head to look at the place where Qin Huang’s body had just been. There was nothing there now, as if he had vanished into thin air. “Besides, he has already made his move.”
