Ge Zian noticed Xin Zizhao's gaze. "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
"Did you see what that red - dressed woman was holding?" Xin Zizhao whispered to Ge Zian beside him while using his sword to fend off the fierce attacks from the death - warriors like a storm.
"I saw it. You mean that eerie jade pendant?" Ge Zian tilted his head slightly, looking at Xin Zizhao, and used his sword to block an attack from one of the death - warriors.
"I think that woman uses that jade pendant to control these death - warriors. So, if there's no jade pendant, will the death - warriors stop attacking us?" Xin Zizhao made a bold assumption.
Hearing Xin Zizhao's assumption, Ge Zian also fell into deep thought. "Your Majesty, I think you're quite right. How about we give it a try?"
"I'll deal with this red - dressed woman, and you're in charge of dealing with these death - warriors. Try not to let them disturb me. Bai Yue rarely takes action."
"Okay. Please be careful, Your Majesty."
On the other side, Wei Shuxuan and Wei Wei were fighting side by side against the death - warrior Wei Tu. Suddenly, Wei Tu turned his sword and attacked Wei Shuxuan instead. Wei Wei detected it sharply. "Miss, be careful!"
He rushed over immediately and used his knife to block Wei Tu's long sword to prevent Wei Shuxuan from getting hurt. When he saw that Wei Wei was about to be unable to resist Wei Tu's sword, Wei Shuxuan didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly, she saw the cinnabar mark in the middle of Wei Tu's forehead glowing. She subconsciously rushed towards Wei Tu to attack him. Wei Tu dodged, and she noticed that the cinnabar mark didn't glow when he dodged.
Could it be... A thought suddenly flashed through Wei Shuxuan's mind.
"Wei Wei, attack him!" Wei Shuxuan shouted at Wei Wei. Wei Wei was slightly stunned. The miss actually asked him to attack the master? "Don't be in a daze. Attack him quickly!"
Anyway, the master now was no longer the previous one. Attacking him was just attacking. Wei Wei gritted his teeth and rushed towards Wei Tu again. When Wei Tu instantly blocked with his sword, Wei Shuxuan clearly saw the cinnabar mark glowing. After that, whenever Wei Wei attacked Wei Tu and Wei Tu took a fighting stance, the cinnabar mark would glow.
"I see! Wei Wei, find a way to wipe off the cinnabar on Father's forehead!" Wei Shuxuan shouted at Wei Wei.
"Got it, miss!" Although Wei Wei said so, he actually wanted to complain in his heart. He also wanted to do that, but the master was just too powerful. Whether he could do it was still a question.
"Don't worry. I'll assist you on the side! Wei Wei, just go ahead and do it!" Wei Shuxuan shouted at Wei Wei. Bai Yue, sitting on the roof, couldn't help but smile softly when hearing the conversation between Wei Shuxuan and Wei Wei. This girl was really amazing. She could actually tell that the cinnabar on Wei Tu's forehead was the key.
Wei Tu was different from others. His willpower was extremely tenacious. Even if Sima Tianhai came personally to control him and turn him into a death - warrior, he couldn't be completely controlled. Only when a cinnabar mark mixed with Sima Tianhai's blood was put on his forehead could he be fully controlled. If the cinnabar was wiped off, maybe Wei Tu could get rid of Sima Tianhai's control.
"Heheh, this is so interesting! Fortunately, I came to watch this battle. Otherwise, I would have missed such a wonderful show."
Hong Ying, who was fighting with Xin Zizhao, heard Bai Yue's laughter and turned back viciously. "Bai Yue, don't just sit there! Come and help!"
But Bai Yue still smiled lightly. "No, I'm afraid I'll hold you back."
Taking advantage of Hong Ying's distraction, Xin Zizhao aimed at the jade pendant in Hong Ying's bosom and struck with a palm. Hong Ying was caught off guard and was hit right on. She rolled off the roof, and the jade pendant in her lapel fell out as she rolled. Xin Zizhao quickly picked up the jade pendant. Just then, Xin Zizhao heard Bai Yue's secret voice transmission. "Hong Ying is still awake. Hurry, either kill her or knock her out."
Xin Zizhao turned to look at Bai Yue, nodded, then flew down and knocked Hong Ying out with a palm. Then Xin Zizhao held up the jade pendant in his hand. "Stop all of you!"
Seeing that all the death - warriors had stopped, Bai Yue escaped. Wei Tu also stopped accordingly. As soon as Wei Shuxuan saw that Wei Tu had stopped moving, she quickly told Wei Wei to hold down Wei Tu's hands and feet. She herself flew over and wiped off the cinnabar on Wei Tu's forehead with her sleeve. Then, Wei Tu fainted in Wei Wei's arms.
After that, it was time to deal with the death - warriors. Xin Zizhao ordered people to tie up the death - warriors with thick hemp ropes as thick as an arm and chain up the crazy woman Hong Ying. As for the jade pendant, Xin Zizhao decided to keep it for the time being. Maybe it would be useful later.
"Xuan'er, I've caught that woman. You can avenge the beating she gave you last time, but don't kill her. Understand?" Xin Zizhao looked at Wei Shuxuan with a smile.
"I know. I'll handle it properly."
After Wei Tu fainted, he was immediately sent to Fenghe Hall by Ge Zian and others for the imperial doctor to treat. After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, "General Wei's tendons and bones are severely injured. He didn't have a good rest, and because he was trained as a death - warrior and his human potential was stimulated, even if he wakes up, he will only become an ordinary person. I'm afraid he can no longer practice martial arts."
"..... It's okay, imperial doctor. Please save my father. As long as he can wake up healthy, it doesn't matter if he becomes an ordinary person."
Wei Shuxuan felt a little sad. She could feel the sadness of the original body. Maybe martial arts was the most important thing to Wei Tu, but now he was going to lose it. She didn't know what he would think.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I'll do my best."
"Zian, where's godfather?"
"He's on his way. He should be here soon."
Not long after, the door of the guest room in Fenghe Hall was pushed open forcefully. Wei Shuxuan and the others quickly turned around and saw Ge Long'an standing at the door out of breath. It seemed that he had run here. Wei Shuxuan quickly stepped forward to support Ge Long'an. "Godfather, you're not young anymore. Don't be so impulsive all the time. Father isn't going to run away again."
Hearing Wei Shuxuan's complaint, Ge Long'an took a while to calm down. "It's just that I'm so worried about Brother Wei..."
"Godfather, come here quickly."
Wei Shuxuan led Ge Long'an to the bedside. Ge Long'an finally found his elder brother. For a moment, his vision was blurred by tears. But when he saw Wei Tu's pale face, he felt very guilty. If it weren't for him, maybe Brother Wei wouldn't have ended up like this.
