"His Highness the Prince of Nanjun? The Commandery Prince? Your Highness?" At that moment, a calling voice from beside him awoke the Prince of Nanjun.
The Prince of Nanjun immediately turned his head and saw two familiar figures.
One was the governor of the Nanjun Prefecture Government of the Great Zhou.
And the other was the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Division of Nanjun.
"Your Highness, what has happened to you?" Yun Shouji asked the Prince while taking out a small bottle from his bosom and pouring out three elixirs.
After handing the three elixirs to the Prince, Yun Shouji spoke again, "Your Highness, please take these elixirs. These are secret healing elixirs from the Imperial Court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, very effective in stopping the injuries on your body."
"But... Your Highness...," Yun Shouji looked at the Prince, who looked neither human nor ghostlike, and said doubtfully, "You seem to be suffering from more than just injuries."
The Prince nonchalantly received the three elixirs, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them with a tilt of his head.
He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean it’s not as simple as being injured? You sound so much like that Fan Wu when you speak!"
Yun Shouji was taken aback; he frowned and asked, "Your Highness, do you not realize the changes occurring to your own body?"
In the eyes of Yun Shouji and the Thousand Household Leader of Qiantian Division, the Prince’s appearance was indeed terrifying.
To say he looked like an evil ghost would be an insult to the evil ghosts. Honestly, not even the appearance of an evil ghost could be this abhorrent!
The Prince’s body was covered in bizarre sores, with what appeared to be worms wriggling inside each one.
His skin was also peppered with small, wart-like bumps, akin to those seen in venereal diseases.
The sight was enough to make one’s skin crawl.
"Your Highness, that Daoist Priest Fan..." At that moment, the previously silent Thousand Household Leader of Qiantian Division suddenly inquired, "Is he currently battling with those four strange creatures up ahead?"
"Strange creatures?" Upon hearing these two words, the Prince seemed to have touched upon some sore point.
He disregarded how many bones in his body had been broken.
And suddenly stood up.
His face was terrifyingly dark as he fixed his gaze intently on the Thousand Household Leader of Qiantian Division, sternly warning him word by word, "Do not utter these two words in front of that being! The Daoist Priest Fan you speak of—I initially wanted to bring him along to seek the truth of this world. However, his ignorance is profound; he has even angered that sacred being!"
After hearing what the Prince of Nanjun said, Yun Shouji and the Thousand Household Leader exchanged glances with expressionless faces.
They exchanged a look, each understanding the meaning in the other’s eyes.
—The Prince’s sanity was in question.
—He might very well have been influenced by those four strange creatures, and the bizarre changes in his body might be due to them too! The Prince’s descent into madness, his complete change in behavior, could also be the result of those creatures’ bewitchment.
With this, everything made sense.
Clearly, both Yun Shouji and the Thousand Household of Qiantian Division were more inclined to believe Fan Wu than the crazed Prince.
After all, considering the current situation, the four hideous creatures with terrifying aura ahead
did not seem even remotely benign.
This was not them judging a book by its cover; it seemed to be the actual case.
Because on one side was a Taoist recognized by the City God of Yinghe Prefecture, and on the other was an unknown entity.
Who was right, and who was wrong?
One glance was all it took to know.
"I am a bit stronger than you, and your position within the prefecture is more important than mine. The millions of people in the Nanjun Prefecture need you as their governor. You stay to protect His Highness the Prince, and I will go assist Daoist Priest Fan against those creatures."
The Thousand Household Leader of Qiantian addressed Yun Shouji.
Yun Shouji furrowed his brow, but he understood that the Thousand Household Leader’s words were true; they not only had to support Fan Wu against those creatures, but they also had to protect His Highness the Prince of Nanjun.
Thus, they had to divide their responsibilities.
One to protect the Prince.
One to help Fan Wu.
"Be careful," warned Yun Shouji. "If you find that you are no match for those creatures, immediately bring Fan Wu out. He is still young. I fear that faced with creatures more powerful than himself, he might act recklessly."
The Thousand Household Leader of Qiantian nodded, did not say anything further, but charged in the direction where Fan Wu was.
Over there.
Fan Wu was engaged in an intense battle with a fragment of a Ghost Immortal’s remnant thought.
He lifted the Demon-slaying Sword, blocking a giant fist attack with great effort.
The ground beneath his feet instantly caved in.
The power that burst forth from the opponent made it hard for Fan Wu to hold his ground.
After all, the disparity in attributes was too great.
Fan Wu’s "Power" attribute was only 97.521, and even with the 20% amplification from the Star Lodging Sword Technique, it was only at 117.0252. Though this was strong enough to defeat even creatures born from witchcraft, it was still too low against a remnant thought of the Ghost Immortal. Even unleashing the Ghost-Killing Path did no good because it was still far too weak.
