"My lord of the prefecture government, what is this with His Highness the Prince of Nanjun?" The doctor looked at the Nanjun County Prince and was immediately shocked by the numerous wounds on his body.
Yun Shouji simply answered, "His Highness the Prince of Nanjun has ventured deep into the heart of the Great Demon Forbidden Land."
"Hiss!" The doctor gasped in shock: "Ventured into the Great Demon Forbidden Land!?"
Clearly, he too knew what the Great Demon Forbidden Land represented.
Without explaining too much, Yun Shouji asked the doctor in front of him, "How confident are you that you can bring His Highness the Prince of Nanjun back to consciousness?"
The doctor furrowed his brows deeply and after a moment of contemplation, tentatively said, "The chances are not particularly high..."
Yun Shouji patted his shoulder, "Do your utmost. His Highness the Prince of Nanjun must not suffer any mishap."
"Yes, my lord!"
"..."
Yun Shouji had just walked out when he saw someone running towards him head-on. If it wasn’t his daughter Yun Jiuqing, who else could it be?
Yun Jiuqing had spent the whole night in the prefecture government office, waiting for Yun Shouji to return from the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
Now, upon seeing Yun Shouji return,
she hurriedly scurried over, sized up her father from head to toe, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like you haven’t been injured, Father."
Yun Shouji’s face darkened as he suppressed the urge to thump his daughter’s head, "Are you hoping that I was injured?"
Yun Jiuqing was startled and quickly said, "No, I didn’t mean that!"
Yun Jiuqing explained, "I was just worried about your safety, especially since you told me yesterday that the Great Demon Forbidden Land was so dangerous, and that you dived into the tiger’s den with Uncle Thousand Households during the night..."
"Eh?"
As she spoke, it seemed she finally realized something. Yun Jiuqing asked, puzzled, "How come... only you have returned? Where is Uncle Thousand Households? Where is Daoist Priest Fan? And His Highness the Prince of Nanjun?"
Yun Jiuqing suddenly widened her eyes, looking as if she couldn’t believe what she was seeing, almost as though she were meeting her father for the first time.
"Father! You... couldn’t possibly have..."
Bang!
Yun Shouji could no longer resist the impulse to give Yun Jiuqing a thump on the head, so he flexed his fingers and gave her forehead a flick, causing her to cover her head in pain and look at him with a face full of grievance and confusion.
With a face as dark as thunder, Yun Shouji said speechlessly, "In your foolish eyes, am I such a coward? His Highness the Prince of Nanjun is inside, receiving treatment from the doctor."
"As for your Uncle Thousand Households, he has returned to the Qiantian Divine. He is mostly fine, just a bit drained of his mana. Some rest and he will recover."
"Fan Wu... He is still inside the Great Demon Forbidden Land, he has not come out. At least, when I left the Great Demon Forbidden Land, he had not yet emerged; now, I am not sure."
"Ah?" Yun Jiuqing’s eyes widened further: "Daoist Priest Fan is still inside the Great Demon Forbidden Land, not come out?"
"Hmm," Yun Shouji responded, "There’s no need to worry too much. He should not have sustained serious injuries. With his abilities, there’s definitely no problem for him to survive."
"Even I have to admit, that man in his twenties is far more capable than me."
As he said that, Yun Shouji’s tone carried a trace of wistfulness.
It felt like the younger generation surpassing the old, the pupil outdoing the master.
He was, unfortunately, the ’old wave’.
...
The Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine returned to the Qiantian Divine in a miserable state.
The lord of the Nanjun Prefecture Government returned to the prefecture’s government office with a severely injured person, both in disarray.
Either of these pieces of news was enough to shock the heart.
After all, in this territory of the prefecture,
the two of them were very important figures.
One held the power to execute first and report later, a special imperial sanction granted to the Qiantian Divine.
The other was the lord of the prefecture, commanding a region.
Wherever these two went, they would attract countless attentive eyes. It was also because of this that their disheveled arrival back to the Qiantian Divine and the government office this morning
had caused many to take notice.
Some influential people had already begun to inquire what had happened to these two distinguished figures, or who was the seriously injured person that the lord had brought back?
There are no airtight walls under heaven, and Yun Shouji and the Thousand Household Leader of the Qiantian Divine had no intention of concealing the matter.
When asked about the incident, they would even proactively provide a brief explanation.
Thus...
Inside the prefecture government, many well-informed cultivators of significant status learned what had roughly happened the previous night.
Within Hanling Temple,
"Abbot, what is the Great Demon Forbidden Land?" Monk Zhi Kong looked somewhat puzzled and confused; he had never heard of the Great Demon Forbidden Land. He searched through his memory, but found nothing, indicating he had never heard the term before.
Next to Monk Zhi Kong, Monk Zhi Shan also showed a hint of bewilderment. As Zhi Kong’s senior monk, he was equally unaware of the Great Demon Forbidden Land.
"Amitabha..." In front of the two monks sat an old monk with a white beard.
The old monk appeared very distinguished.
He was certainly a powerful cultivator.
Although he practiced Buddhist teachings, people like him were generally called cultivators in this world.
This old monk was naturally the abbot of Hanling Temple!
