Yun Sheng, Li Shao had only recently heard about her.
This female physician, unknown before the Martial Saint competition, Li Shao later came to realize, had an identity that was far from simple.
Not only was she Yun Bahe’s granddaughter, but she also held many identities; she was a Hunter Soldier, a Mage, and a Doctor. It is said that during her time in Great Zhou, she once defeated the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. What’s more remarkable is that this girl called Yun Sheng (according to investigations, she is about nine years old this year), is also an excellent Magic Pharmacist.
During her time at the Royal Magic Academy, she concocted a High-grade Magic Medicine, Moon God’s Praise.
This time, a significant reason Yun Bahe managed to escape danger was due to this female physician.
What caught Li Shao’s attention was seeing Yun Sheng’s name again in a letter from Madam Bi.
About Tangyuan Country, Yuan Bupo did not fully disclose the actual situation to Yun Sheng.
The current situation in Tangyuan Country could be described as turbulent, with Crown Prince Li Cheng and Second Prince Li Shao constantly at each other’s throats.
Second Prince Li Shao, renowned throughout the land, believes he is the undeniable heir to the throne, and is very dissatisfied with Crown Prince Li Cheng, whose mother is a favored concubine of Emperor Tangyuan; for many years, Li Shao has been overshadowing Crown Prince Li Cheng.
However, nominally, the mother of Li Cheng comes from a prominent family, who, relying on her family’s support, has consistently protected her son’s position as the heir to the throne.
The two brothers have never ceased their overt and covert struggles.
Being adjacent to Dihong City and Tangyuan, it is inevitable for them to be intertwined with each other. Googlᴇ search 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
Xuan Wuji’s Xuan Family, who is on good terms with Li Shao, contrasts the Yuan family who covertly supports Crown Prince Li Cheng.
Thus, Madam Bi surreptitiously communicated with Li Shao.
Her own son died, and she couldn’t stand to see others fare well; whether it’s Xuan Meimei, Yuan Bupo, or Yun Sheng, she wants to use others to eliminate them all.
Both sides are affiliated with different powers, but these are all internal matters of Dihong City, hence Yuan Bupo did not elaborate further.
"What a scheme, to kill with a borrowed knife; however, this person indeed cannot be left alive, a Great Zhou talent with such aptitude only spells more trouble if left alone, must be dealt with swiftly," a flame arose in Li Shao’s hand, instantly burning the letter into ashes.
"Second Prince, the flight path over Dihong City has been ascertained. Tonight, they will pass near the suburbs of Biantang," the soldiers reported back to Li Shao.
"Deploy fifty Mages proficient in attacks, set an ambush in the suburbs, and upon sighting any suspicious flying squadron passing by, directly intercept and carry out an attack," Li Shao ordered coldly.
Yun Sheng and Yuan Bupo, along with others, made their way into Tangyuan.
Around nightfall, Chongming Birds were flying in the sky.
Biantang, the capital of Tangyuan, was visible in the distance.
In the suburbs, a group of Mages dressed in black Magic Robes lay in ambush.
These people were all Li Shao’s subordinates.
"The Prince has commanded, upon spotting any individual from Dihong City, strike immediately," the Mages had been waiting here for two days,
just as their patience was running thin, a group of colorful Chongming Birds appeared in the sky as expected.
"It’s Dihong City’s Chongming Birds, begin the operation!"
At this moment, Yun Sheng and others still had not noticed the anomaly on the ground hundreds of meters below.
"Tomorrow we will enter the capital of Tangyuan. Let’s rest nearby tonight; once we pass the capital, just travel for another seven or eight days, and we can reach Xianju," Yuan Bupo organized the team methodically.
No one expected that, despite bearing the insignia of Dihong City, they would still be ambushed. Instantly, numerous Magic Attacks targeted the sky.
"Disaster! It’s an ambush!" Yuan Bupo noticed just as a ferocious Wind Blade chopped off a Martial Artist’s head beside him.
Yuan Bupo leapt into the air, his first reaction to protect Yun Sheng.
Alas, the magic attacks were truly overwhelming.
Over fifty mages, including all sorts of magic artifacts, suddenly all aimed at the sky, like fireworks being set off simultaneously.
Although the martial artists from Di Hong City were skilled, none but a few had reached the cultivation level of a Marquis. The Chongming Bird, struck, panicked, and flung the riders from its back.
Some people even died from the fall before they could react.
Others were hit by magic in midair, torn apart gruesomely.
In an instant, screams filled the air, and blood rained down like a downpour.
"Yun Sheng!" Yuan Bu Po couldn’t find Yun Sheng, his eyes reddened with fury, his Chongming Bird cried out in agony as it was struck by Thunder Magic.
"Brother Bu Po, save me!"
"Little Red and Blue," beneath Yuan Bu Po, the Ice and Fire Phoenix took flight. Its small body breathed out both blue and purple glows, dramatically enlarging and transforming into a majestic red-and-blue feathered Luan Bird.
The Phoenix, a magical creature blessed by nature, was immune to regular magical attacks.
Yuan Bu Po grabbed the Phoenix with one hand and pulled up the terror-stricken Xuan Meimei.
"Brother Bu Po, we have to descend quickly," Xuan Meimei took the chance to clutch Yuan Bu Po’s waist, snuggling up to him.
On the other side, the sudden ambush launched countless magic attacks targeting Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng had never faced so many magic attacks all at once.
Even with her quick reflexes, she was caught off guard this time.
"No!" At the sound of Yuan Bu Po’s anguished scream beside her ear, Yun Sheng only felt the Chongming Bird beneath her torn apart by magic attacks.
In the next moment, she felt herself plummeting downward.
A golden silhouette shielded in front of Yun Sheng.
"Meimei, let go. I need to find Yun Sheng," Yuan Bu Po suddenly lost sight of Yun Sheng, his heart burning with urgency.
"Just let her fall to her death, that wretched girl isn’t worth anything!" Seeing his agitated look, Xuan Meimei couldn’t help feeling jealous.
"She won’t die. Say that again, and I’ll throw you down this instant," Yuan Bu Po, upon hearing the word "die," felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
Watching the ground being bombarded with magic attacks, his heart suddenly grew cold.
The only person daring enough to attack them directly on Tang Yuan’s territory was one person - Tang Yuan’s Li Shao.
Li Shao, if anything happens to Yun Sheng this time, I, Yuan Bu Po, will not let you off!
The wind howled fiercely, with magic attacks following one after another.
When Yun Sheng fell from the Chongming Bird.
Several magic attacks converged on her.
In mid-air, it was difficult for Yun Sheng to immediately perform the Combined Battle Skill. Just as she hesitated, Rich Man Gold naturally appeared.
"Rich Man Gold" executed a beautiful swallow flip, shielding Yun Sheng from several magic attacks with its body. Made from Karmic Fire and wholly resistant to weapons and magic.
"Rich Man Gold" held Yun Sheng protectively, swiftly glided down from high altitude, and landed on the ground.
After being trained by Beiming, Rich Man Gold, in any situation where Yun Sheng faced danger, would appear at the first moment to protect her.
Under its protection, Yun Sheng quickly reached a safe place.
