It was night, and the surroundings were completely silent. It was extremely dark. After nightfall, a little cold air rose up, causing the cliff wall to be wet and slippery. If it wasn't for the fact that he was brave and had a good foundation, ordinary people wouldn't dare to climb over the cliff at night. However, if there was someone who could climb over, it meant that his martial arts wasn't weak! For example, Nangong Zui, or... She!

The base camp was not far away, so Nangong Zui did not go over. He only walked around the perimeter to check if there were any abnormalities. It had only been one day since the previous night, so if there was anything abnormal, they could still find traces of it. For example, the grass and trees near the camp had traces of being cut by a knife or axe. The footprints were a bit messy, and the haystacks on the ground had been trampled to pieces.

Nangong Zui squatted on the ground, and brushed the traces on the ground with his fingertips. There was very little blood on the grass, and it was covered by the grass. If it wasn't for the things he was used to doing, it would have been very difficult to discover. Nangong Zui looked around with narrowed eyes and started to judge. If this person did not die, which direction would he flee to?

There were many footprints in the thick forest to the east, but the blood was flowing towards the west.

Nangong Zui stood up, let out a long exhale, and quickly headed to the west. If he did not enter the camp, and was met with a calamity when he entered, then Qi Yunshan would not be an easy target. If anything were to happen to Qi Yunshan yesterday, then he would definitely be treated as a comrade, and would not be seen by Qi Yunshan.

On the east was the thick forest, and on the west was the mountain stream. It was no wonder that the pursuers had headed towards the east. If it was anyone else, they would have thought that the thick forest was much easier to hide in. Even though there were trees in the mountain stream, the trees were still as unforgiving as they were, so it was easy for others to find their traces. However, the mountain stream had one benefit, and that was that there was water!

Nangong Zui squatted by the side of the small stream, his face reflected in the lake. Slowly standing up, Nangong Zui followed the edge of the small stream and went upstream. Sure enough, he found some blood traces on a rock, and it was still the same as before. According to the man's style of doing things, she would have easily erased the mark if she was not really weak. It was clear that she had been severely injured!

Just as he was thinking, a cold light swept past, and Nangong Zui immediately leaped up, barely dodging the fatal sword strike. Behind him, a black shadow pounced over, looking as if he wouldn't rest until he was dead.

Using the reflection of the water, Nangong Zui was able to see clearly that it was a lady. Furthermore, her body was injured, and her movements were restricted.

"Who is it?" She finally spoke.

If he did not speak, Nangong Zui would not be able to recognize her voice. Wasn't it that guy?!

"What do you think?" She recognized his voice.

"It's you?" She was stunned.

In that moment, Nangong Zui had grabbed onto the hand holding the sword, and with a snort, she was pulled into his embrace. Because her injuries were too severe, she collapsed into his embrace, breathing heavily. Amidst the billowing waves of light, her beautiful eyes slowly closed. It was as if those few blows had exhausted all of her strength.

"Hello?" Nangong Zui was startled, "How are you?" His palm was somewhat moist, and when he opened it, it was actually filled with fresh blood. Only then did he discover that there was another arrow on her back, the tail of which had already been broken by Qi Qi. Only the broken shaft of the arrow was left, and the arrow was still deeply embedded in her body. Blood continued to pour out, accompanied by a numbing pain. She was utterly exhausted.

"Save me …" She opened her mouth.

Nangong Zui raised his eyebrows, "Back when you designed me, didn't you think that you would kill me? Now you want me to save you, why? " Looking at the lady in his arms, Nangong Zui unhesitatingly reached out to take off the cloth that covered her face.

She was probably truly anxious, and immediately held onto Nangong Zui's hand. "Have you thought about it clearly, if you dare to take off my mask, you will be responsible for me! I'm serious! "

"Responsible?" Nangong Zui scoffed, "Is your face gold-plated? Gold and silver? Face was something that people were born to show others. Even if it was extremely ugly, it was given to them by their parents. What was there to be ashamed about! I, Nangong Zui, have a clear conscience, why can't I look at your face? Rest assured, I will not tell anyone how breathtakingly ugly you are! "

After she finished speaking, Nangong Zui had already lifted the black cloth from her face.

In the dim light, there was a breathtakingly stunning face. Even though her face was as white as paper, it was still captivating. Her lips turned green, and her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with tears. There was a faint tinge of grief mixed within, as if she was angry, but even more so, as if she was enduring a grievance. She stared straight at him, their gazes locked in the midst of the billowing waves.

"What's your name?" Nangong Zui asked.

But she ignored him. Don't start. She lay in his embrace, her body burning. It could be seen that the wounds on her back were already starting to become inflamed, so no matter what, even the deities of the Great Firmament would have to use some methods to save her.

However, Nangong Zui was not a good man or woman, he was a public man. He was used to seeing people's feelings and warmth, and was also used to killing. In any case, there was no difference between two people dying, whether it was a man or a woman dying. Just a single breath of life and a dead body, that's all!

"Don't say it?" Nangong Zui released her, "Then there's no other way! I am not a person who cherishes the fairer sex, moreover, there are still grudges between us. I will let you go as you please, and let you die with some secrets that you can't see. Ordinarily speaking, those who have tried to kill me will not end up well, and there will be many tortures in the Four-direction Sect! "

"Snowy!" "No," she said.

"This isn't a real name, what I want is a real name!" Nangong Zui looked down at her from above, "Are all the people from the Demon Palace lying like this?"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at him, her eyes sharp. "You have someone from the Magic Palace with you?" How else would he know if she was using her real name? Could it be that a traitor had appeared in the Demon Palace? However, the Demon Palace had never been affected by it. Furthermore, the first time he had met Nangong Zui, he did not immediately recognize her, which showed that he did not know what the Demon Palace was doing.

Then, what was going on?

"True name!" Nangong Zui was getting impatient.

"Fleeting!" She gritted her teeth.

Nangong Zui raised his eyebrows, "Is this for real?"

Jing Hong nodded. "Help me pull out the arrow. The arrow was poisoned. Even if I have the antidote, but …" "If I don't pull out the arrow, I won't be able to cure the poison completely!" She lowered her eyebrows and lay on the ground, dying.

Indeed, she had been bleeding the entire time. If she hadn't been holding on, she would have died a long time ago!

Nangong Zui carried her to the side of the stream, and made her lie down on top of a flat rock. After thinking for a moment, Nangong Zui asked, "Do you need me to take responsibility again?"

"A man should talk more nonsense than women!" Jing Rong snorted. [I was just making it up just now. That's all. Is this man for real?] Pui, no wonder, this is just an old loach, extremely slippery!

Nangong Zui frowned, and tore apart the clothes around the wound, the wound was extremely shocking. The flesh turned white, and the flesh became indistinct. The slightly black blood proof that Jing Hong's words were true, and the arrow was indeed poisonous. Fortunately, the poison wasn't too strong. It was just enough to make people bleed! He reached out to grab the arrow sticking out of her flesh and said to Jing Hong, "Bear with it!"

Jing Hong gritted his teeth. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching pain arose from his back. All her energy was approaching in an instant, and she immediately fainted, unconscious.

"Hello?" Nangong Zui was startled, he immediately took out the small medicine bag he brought along and poured out a tube of Golden Sore Medicine, and quickly bandaged her wound. People like them had to have these items when they were away. Who wouldn't get hurt if they didn't get a headache? They were both flesh and blood. No one relied on the protection of others, so they could only take care of themselves and let themselves live.

This was the simplest way of survival!

Jing Hong had fainted. Nangong Zui just realized that her body was boiling hot and she was shivering while lying down on the haystack. She had curled up into a ball.

"Women are trouble!" Nangong Zui untied his own clothes and draped it over her body. Then, he found a shallow cave, and found firewood to start a fire. After doing all this, he intended to leave, but a wolf's howl came from the cove. Leaving him here was no different from killing him. He had saved her after so much difficulty. If he were to end up in a wolf's stomach, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?

He thought for a moment. In order to further understand the situation in the Demon Palace, he needed to stay and guard her, at least until she woke up. Ye Qing had always kept the matter of the Demon Palace a secret, and never brought it up easily. Even when Jing Hong went to visit the Nangong Mansion this time, Ye Qing did not say anything.

The Demon Palace was like a mystery, born in the martial arts world and hidden in the martial arts world. Everyone was afraid of the Demon Palace, but the Demon Palace would never easily harm others, so they didn't have the intention of dominating the martial arts world!

This confused Nangong Zui. Why did he have to run an organization so big?

The splendor in the fiery light was indeed just like its name. In fact, Nangong Zui was quite breathtaking the first time he laid eyes on her. He had been in and out of the Yuncui House for so many years, yet the most beautiful person he had ever met was Caiwei. He didn't even bother to take a glance at the beautiful scene. The figure in front of her was very clean and elegant. She was dressed in black, and her exquisite facial features were not covered in makeup. Instead, it gave her a very comfortable and natural look.

Abruptly, Nangong Zui slowly approached Jing Hong. She opened and closed her lips, as if she was speaking.

What are you talking about?

Nangong Zui bent his head down, and placed his ear next to Jing Hong's ear, carefully listening to Jing Hong's dreams. She was incoherent with fever, and the words were broken from her mouth. Her voice was soft and not very audible. Nangong Zui could only faintly hear the two words. He straightened his body and looked at the unconscious Xiao Hong, his brows twisting together, "A box?"

A box?

What box?

"Say it clearly, what box?" Nangong Zui hurriedly asked, trying to persuade her, "Did you barge into Qi Yunshan's camp just for that box? What kind of box is it? What's in the box? "

Jing Hong opened his mouth. "Wooden box …" Inside the box is... "Yes..."

"What is it?" Nangong Zui's body tensed up.
