As Sikong Jing had anticipated, Yao Changgeng would undoubtedly not give up getting back the scriptures and medicines from the Xingluo Palace.
These items were more precious to a pharmacist than any treasure.
Yao Changgeng’s body stiffened, he slowly turned around, and his hoarse voice suddenly burst out, "Sikong Jing!"
As he spoke, his True Qi was about to erupt... but suddenly, figures appeared in the darkness, accompanied by the voice of Qin Heng coming through, "Yao Changgeng, if you don’t want to die, it’s best not to move."
Looking at Qin Heng and other high-ranking members of the Holy Dragon Palace, Yao Changgeng’s mouth fell open, and he collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
Dealing with Sikong Jing, the junior, was certainly no problem, but how could he possibly contend with the powerhouses of the Holy Dragon Palace?
He was indeed too anxious and had fallen into Sikong Jing’s trap.
Now, he was completely captured alive.
Suddenly, Yao Changgeng raised his head again and said viciously, "Qin Heng, if you dare to kill me, you won’t be able to buy medicine anywhere in the East Plain Northern Land, you should be very clear about my influence, Yao Changgeng."
As he spoke, Yao Changgeng slowly stood up, his eyes full of threat.
"And these scriptures..."
"According to the wager, you were only supposed to expel us from the Long Night Xingluo Palace. Apart from the land, you can’t touch anything else; otherwise, Xingluo General Academy will have an excuse to annihilate you."
With Yao Changgeng’s warning, Qin Heng and the others exchanged a look, they obviously also knew this reasoning.
The wager was the removal of Long Night Xingluo Palace from the Long Night Imperial City.
Since it was a removal, they could naturally take anything away. Moreover, Yao Changgeng was one of the top five pharmacists in the whole East Plain Northern Land, his influence in the medicinal field was very significant.
This was now the source of Yao Changgeng’s confidence, and for a moment, Qin Heng was somewhat at a loss.
Unfortunately, he could threaten Qin Heng and the others, but he couldn’t threaten Sikong Jing.
Just then, Sikong Jing coldly said, "Yao Changgeng, we can choose not to kill you, but we are not afraid to kill you... You could die at the hands of Feng Tingfu, or you could die from extreme anger."
"There are too many excuses to kill you."
"Moreover, it was your Long Night Xingluo Palace that first breached the wager. Accidentally killing you in a sword fight would not be our fault either."
Having said that, Sikong Jing’s sword pressed lightly against Yao Changgeng’s neck.
Qin Heng and the others twitched their lips, Sikong Jing was really too domineering and brash; each of his statements could terrify Yao Changgeng.
However, they did not speak up to stop him; they believed this was just Sikong Jing’s negotiation tactic.
Sure enough, Yao Changgeng’s face turned slightly pale, and he trembled, "You said, you can choose not to kill me? What do you want to do?"
Remembering the overwhelmingly domineering Sikong Jing, Yao Changgeng’s momentum immediately weakened, and he was willing to negotiate.
In fact, he was very afraid of death.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing slammed the prescription that Yao Changgeng had once written for Su Yuexi onto his face.
"Refine medicine for me. As long as my wife can recover, you can take all the things here and leave."
"Otherwise, there will be no mercy!"
The last three words, Sikong Jing fully released his killing intent, staring at Yao Changgeng, waiting for an answer.
And Yao Changgeng’s face frantically changed for a good while, finally, he heavily nodded his head, not daring to refuse.
Qin Heng and the others might consider many issues, but this Sikong Jing was utterly lawless, whether it was the entrance exam at Xingluo Academy or during a battle of life and death, he was too ruthless.
Thus, Yao Changgeng began refining the medicine, and during this period, Qin Heng also inquired about the whereabouts of Yu Wenxiong and Bai Changwu.
Yao Changgeng’s response left them helpless.
Yu Wenxiong had already fled to the Xingluo General Academy, and it was impossible for the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace to annihilate him completely.
Upon hearing this, Qin Heng could not help but sigh, but he could only let it be.
In the following days, the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace began to reconstruct their eighth department over the Xingluo Palace, while Sikong Jing was in the Demon Beast Garden of the Xingluo Palace, cultivating, waiting for Yao Changgeng to complete the medicine refining.
At the same time, the Long Night Heavenly Dao Palace also publicly witnessed the great battle between the two palaces.
From then on, no one dared to doubt the victory of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace in this battle, and no power could erase them.
And the might of the Saint Dragon Palace in the Long Night Empire was, of course, unmatched!
In the meantime, Sikong Jing had also returned to the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace temporarily, released Chang Wang and others, and retrieved the Six Symbols Dragon Sword.
Time passed, and it was the tenth day after the life-and-death battle between the two palaces.
With a loud bang, Yao Changgeng finally completed the medicine for treating Su Yuexi’s meridians and Dantian.
Upon hearing the news, Sikong Jing immediately went to the Long Night Black Burning Camp. He wanted to bring Su Yuexi to the Xingluo Palace, but just as he arrived at the 66th Town, he was stopped by Ning Jingjing.
"Commander Sikong, a busy man. The Beigong Commander wants to see you about the matter of the Seven Wolf Guards sent by the Seventh Prince Ji Ming," she said.
Sikong Jing looked at Ning Jingjing and shook his head slightly.
"Right now, I need to take Yuexi to the Xingluo Palace, as Yao Changgeng has already refined the medicine. Yuexi should be able to recover her meridians and Dantian soon, so I don’t have time."
After saying this, Sikong Jing returned home and told Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang, who were staying at home.
Both agreed without a second thought and followed Sikong Jing as they mounted their rides and left.
Watching the backs of the trio of Sikong Jing, Ning Jingjing could not help but open her mouth slightly, a bit annoyed.
Elder Wei beside her said, "General Ning, isn’t Sikong Jing going a bit too far, even delaying the command of the Beigong Commander?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Jingjing’s eyes sparkled and she said, "No, he now has the qualifications to do so, and the commander also said the matter of the Seven Wolf Guards is not urgent, we can wait until Sikong Jing has the time ..."
Pausing a moment, Ning Jingjing suddenly recalled something: "Elder Wei, do you remember Sikong Jing saying that Su Yuexi is a War Body?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wei’s eyes flashed, as he could hardly forget.
It was during their first encounter with Sikong Jing in the Canglong Small Domain.
At that time, General Ning had wanted to teach Sikong Jing a lesson just because of the words "War Body."
And now, both General Ning and he himself believed Sikong Jing’s words even more.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Jingjing said, "Let’s go and see for ourselves, maybe we can witness the true War Body."
Without further ado, Ning Jingjing and Elder Wei chased after Sikong Jing, heading towards the Xingluo Palace.
The Alchemy Institute of the Xingluo Palace, which is now the eighth department of the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.
Sikong Jing arrived with Su Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang and then approached Yao Changgeng...
Staring at him, Sikong Jing gravely said, "Yao Changgeng, if your medicine is ineffective or causes any harm to Yuexi, you will die terribly. Now, examine Yuexi one more time."
The corners of Yao Changgeng’s mouth twitched slightly, but he dared not resist and had to comply with the examination.
After it was done, Yao Changgeng stated firmly, "The medicine I refined has absolutely no issues."
Taking a deep breath, Sikong Jing took the dark red Elixir that Yao Changgeng had refined over these ten days and handed it slowly to Su Yuexi ... who gently received it and determinedly swallowed it.
