Chapter 271 I held firm
Yun Fuzhao rushed back to the Southern Continent.
Despite her absence for so long, the Boundless Sword Sect has remained largely unchanged.
Everyone is steadily improving.
However, one thing made her take it seriously: the recent sect ranking and strength assessment.
In the past, such assessments of strength were based solely on rankings in the aristocratic family competitions.
However, this time an additional rule has been added, especially since the criteria for judgment now include whether the aristocratic family has a respected patriarch. It's obvious who this is aimed at.
These days, the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect are becoming increasingly powerful. They are showing signs of surpassing those of the aristocratic families.
Among the new disciples, Mingzhu's strength is far superior, leaving her peers far behind. She is the most watched star player among this year's disciples.
This naturally aroused dissatisfaction among other sects.
The Xuantian Sect, which had been quiet for a short while, started acting up again. They joined forces with other sects to promote this evaluation standard.
Although other sects dared not openly offend the Boundless Sword Sect, they implied the same thing in their words.
This standard has not been fully implemented yet; it's more like a proposal.
“Actually, this ranking doesn’t matter,” Dai Junde said. “Anyone with eyes can see which of these sects is the most powerful.”
"That being said, it's never pleasant to have them dominating you."
Yun Fuzhao took a bite of her apple. "Is there any movement from my master's side?"
Dai Junde shook his head. "No. Not even a single dark cloud has gathered."
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will create a more impressive spectacle.
"It's okay. I trust him."
After briefly observing the disciples' training, Yun Fuzhao headed towards her residence. She was exhausted and decided to get some rest.
However, as soon as she opened the door, a tall figure lunged straight at her.
Yun Fuzhao had already sensed Yu Ze's presence, so she wasn't on guard. But she didn't expect this to happen as soon as she opened the door.
The tip of my nose was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Yu Ze leaned against her, and Yun Fuzhao quickly lifted him up to prevent him from falling.
She glanced outside and, after confirming that no one was around, immediately helped Yu Ze inside.
In the dim candlelight, Yu Ze's face was covered in blood, and his robes were stained dark with blood.
Yun Fuzhao frowned and reached out to pat his face. "Yu Ze, Yu Ze?"
If Yun Fuzhao hadn't sensed that he was still breathing, he would have thought he was dead.
She quickly fed him some hemostatic pills.
Yu Ze had not completely lost consciousness. He opened his eyes with difficulty, saw Yun Fuzhao's face, and his lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to give her a reassuring smile.
But this movement aggravated his wound, causing his eyebrows to bulge.
"What's going on?"
“Qiongqi…cough cough, he…” Yu Ze’s voice was hoarse, “…reclaimed the beast bones.”
Yun Fuzhao exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? How could he have known so quickly that the beast bones were in the Demon Realm?"
Moreover, even knowing that the Demon Realm was heavily guarded and that he had the seal in hand, how could he possibly take away the beast bone so easily?
"The Ghost Realm has intervened."
A shadowy glint appeared in Yu Ze's eyes, "My most trusted Left Protector is also a ghost impersonator..."
They seem to be involved everywhere.
"So what's the situation now? Has the Demon Realm fallen?"
Yu Ze: "No. I held out."
Once Qiongqi obtains the beast bones, it's no ordinary creature to be trifled with. This is a serious matter; given its vengeful nature, it won't be long before it comes looking for trouble.
With the wound healed, Yuze struggled to sit up.
In fact, even without taking hemostatic pills, his injuries would be almost fully recovered if he rested quietly for a day or two.
But in the moment when he was most seriously injured, he thought he was going to die.
At that time, his only obsession was to come to her side, to come to her side.
Even if it kills me, I want to see her one last time.
Yun Fuzhao helped him up, saying, "Why didn't you send me a text message sooner? Otherwise, I could have helped you."
“You’re participating in the competition in the Northern Continent, and I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.” Yu Ze looked at her and repeated what he had just said. “Yun Fuzhao, I’ve protected her.”
Yun Fuzhao understood the meaning behind his words: if the Demon Realm fell, she would lose her most important support.
The Demon Realm was indeed a source of confidence for her.
"You've worked hard," Yun Fuzhao said, somewhat moved. "I didn't expect something so big to happen. But now that he's taken back the beast bones, I'm afraid he'll launch another attack soon."
Thinking of this, Yun Fuzhao stood up. "I need to go and inform the others now."
Just as he stood up, Yu Ze grabbed his wrist.
Yu Ze looked up at her, her reflection shimmering in his dark eyes. "I've already notified the demon realm. As for the cultivation world, just send a text message..."
His fingers tightened, and his voice was low, "At least tonight, stay by my side."
"..."
Yun Fuzhao assumed he was just a little scared and didn't think much of it, so he sat down again.
"Row."
Before he could even settle in, Yun Fuzhao spoke again: "I'll have my master's wife come and take a look at your injury."
"No."
"What if the injury gets worse..."
"Demons have strong recovery abilities, so I just need to rest for one night."
Since he had already said that, Yun Fuzhao couldn't insist any further.
However, the truth is that he overestimated his physical condition. Despite the severity of his injury, he didn't treat it, and Yu Ze gloriously developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
"I shouldn't have believed your nonsense."
Yun Fuzhao sighed; the guy's face was burning as red as a monkey's bottom.
"Relax, he'll be fine after taking some medicine. Compared to his injuries, this fever is nothing."
Zhan Miaoyan smiled, "It's a miracle that he could come to find you despite being so badly injured."
“What I mean is,” Yun Fuzhao said matter-of-factly, “is that a simple text message? With such serious injuries, what if he dies on the way?”
Zhan Miaoyan: "..."
How can you be so clueless about romance?
She glanced at Yu Ze, who was still clinging tightly to Yun Fuzhao's wrist despite his feverish state, and smiled like an aunt.
"Alright, you stay here and take care of him. I'll be going now."
"it is good."
Yun Fuzhao's wrist was held tightly by him, and she originally intended to pry his hand off. But as soon as she did, Yu Ze's brows furrowed tightly.
He murmured, "Yun Fuzhao..."
Thinking of the villain's tragic childhood, Yun Fuzhao ultimately couldn't pry his hands off.
She sat down on the ground and sent a text message to Xie Wan with one hand.
Qiongqi, who reclaimed the beast bones, was no match for even Yu Ze, and he also had the help of the Ghost Realm.
Yun Fuzhao got angry just thinking about the ghost realm; she really didn't know what Que Yu was thinking.
His ghost realm isn't without its own forces to suppress ferocious beasts, so how could he be so sure that Qiongqi wouldn't hold a grudge against him in the same way?
He's incredibly audacious to try and negotiate with a tiger for its skin.
[Yun Family Brigade 5, Ziqian: Qiongqi has been resurrected, and I fear other ferocious beasts have also been resurrected. If they break free of their seals, the Five Realms will be plunged into a bloodbath.]
[He Yu, Fourth Guard of the Yun Family Brigade: When the Dragon Clan was alive, they dared not act recklessly. Now, with only Jiaoyu alone, I fear she cannot suppress them.]
