156: Chapter 156 What exactly is inside that secret realm?
Commander Fu Qingyun's expression became extremely grave as he immediately sat cross-legged behind Jiang Feiyu.
He slammed both palms onto Jiang Feiyu's back, and the incredibly vast True Yuan within him, carrying the intent of the Haoran, surged into her body like a torrential river!
Haoran Righteous Qi is naturally the bane of all things dark and evil.
"Cizizizi—!"
Under the pressure of Commander Fu Qingyun's domineering True Yuan,
A sound like cold water dripping into boiling oil erupted from within Jiang Feiyu.
Strands of thick black Qi were forcibly driven out from her Meridians, expelled through her pores into the air, where they instantly dissipated.
However, as time passed, Commander Fu Qingyun's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and fine beads of sweat even began to seep from his forehead.
It wasn't working; this black Qi couldn't be cleared completely!
No matter how his Haoran Righteous Qi washed through Jiang Feiyu's Meridians,
Deep within her finest Meridians, and within her flesh and bone marrow,
There were always wisps of black Qi rooted there like maggots on a bone!
Commander Fu Qingyun helplessly withdrew his palms and let out a sigh.
He had arrived a step too late after all.
This girl was too bold; she had actually swallowed all the black mist used by the grand array to mask the heavenly mechanism.
Now, this incredibly toxic black Qi had completely fused with her Meridians and flesh!
Although his True Qi carried the Haoran intent, it could only wash away the black Qi circulating within the Meridians.
If he wanted to completely uproot the black Qi that had fused into her flesh, his True Qi was simply not up to the task.
"This is tricky..."
Commander Fu Qingyun looked at Jiang Feiyu's pale profile, his eyes filled with the difficulty of the situation.
To completely clear these fused black fumes, one would need an Extremely Firm and Masculine Cultivation Technique to generate Extreme Yang True Yuan.
Then, bit by bit, one would have to slowly nourish her Meridians, using Yang Qi to gradually evaporate the Death Qi.
But that was exactly the problem!
In the world of martial arts, Extremely Firm and Masculine Cultivation Techniques were always known for being domineering and violent.
Just like the Extreme Yang Fist Seal Chen Shanzhi had struck with earlier—that was meant for blasting people apart!
Once this kind of violent Extreme Yang True Yuan entered Jiang Feiyu's Meridians,
Her Meridians would be burned to ashes by the violent True Yuan before the black Qi could even be cleared!
Therefore, this Extremely Firm and Masculine True Yuan used for treatment also had to be incredibly gentle.
Extremely firm and masculine, yet also incredibly gentle.
This was essentially two diametrically opposed and absolutely contradictory attributes!
Looking across the countless Sects and Families of the Great Jiang Dynasty, was there even such a bizarrely self-contradictory Cultivation Technique?
Actually, a flash of inspiration struck Commander Fu Qingyun's mind—there really was.
The Zhenguo Marquis Mansion's Peerless Divine Marquis was exactly such a technique.
This Cultivation Technique followed the path of Extreme Yang, yet its True Yuan was extremely restrained, gentle, and long-lasting, making it perfectly suited for combing through the girl's Meridians right now.
But... Commander Fu Qingyun turned his head, casting a strange look at Chen Shanzhi, who was lying unconscious not far away.
The Old Marquis was far away at the border; distant water couldn't extinguish a nearby fire.
The only one left who knew this technique was this notorious Heir of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Although this kid had recently shown remarkable martial talent,
Proving that the previous rumors of him being Trash were all false,
This kind of meticulous healing required an extremely high level of control over True Yuan.
During the treatment process, the True Yuan of both parties had to blend perfectly.
The healer needed to guide the True Yuan inch by inch through the other person's major acupoints.
If even the slightest riot of True Yuan occurred, it would easily lead to irreversible consequences.
Is this kid... reliable?
Commander Fu Qingyun shook his head; this was already the only way, so he could only wait until they woke up.
Fortunately, he had arrived in time and used his Haoran Righteous Qi to forcibly expel the circulating black Qi from Jiang Feiyu's Meridians.
Her life could be considered saved for now.
"However, as long as this black Qi isn't removed, this girl won't be able to use her True Yuan for a single day."
Commander Fu Qingyun looked at Jiang Feiyu and said with some regret:
"The moment she dares to circulate even a bit of her Cultivation Technique, the black Qi rooted in her flesh will instantly backlash.
That sensation would be no different from a hundred ants devouring her heart—a fate worse than death—and it would only make the situation worse."
The former Favored Daughter of Heaven had now essentially been reset to zero, becoming a half-crippled person who couldn't use a shred of martial arts.
"Sigh..."
Even Commander Fu Qingyun, who was used to great storms, couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples and let out a deep sigh.
He really couldn't figure it out!
Did these ancestors, born with silver spoons in their mouths, have water in their brains?
Why didn't they stay in the capital instead of running to this demon cult stronghold in the middle of nowhere?
Did they come as a group to give away their lives just to experience a different lifestyle?
The thought that as soon as dawn broke tomorrow, the old fellows from these Families and that crazy woman would all be blocking the gates of his Jiantian Division demanding an explanation...
Commander Fu Qingyun felt an incredibly massive headache.
Just then, five sounds of breaking air whistled from the distance, landing steadily behind Commander Fu Qingyun.
Five tall men dressed in Black Flying Fish Robes, all wearing identical gold Waist Tokens, knelt on one knee in perfect unison.
"Your subordinates have arrived late. We ask the Grand Governor to punish us!"
These five were all the Gold Medal Constabless of the Jiantian Division stationed in the capital.
Every single one of them was a master of the Tongxuan Realm!
Commander Fu Qingyun didn't turn around, merely waving his hand irritably. "Get up."
The leading Gold Medal Constables stood up, looking toward the horizon with a shocked expression.
At this moment, the Pentagram Array high in the sky had reached its limit.
Standing at the center of the array, Tu Wanshen used the five surges of majestic energy to forcibly tear open a black rift in the Void Realm!
Then, Tu Wanshen's figure flashed as he dove directly into that rift.
Immediately following, the rift vanished without a trace, like a mouth closing shut.
Except for a lingering scent of blood in the sky, no other abnormality could be seen.
"Grand Governor, Tu Wanshen has escaped!"
The leading Gold Medal Constables's face was extremely grave as he cupped his fists and asked:
"Judging by this display, he likely used the sacrificial power of these villages to forcibly open the entrance to some Secret Realm."
"Do we need to immediately deploy more personnel to blockade a hundred-mile radius and find the physical entrance to this Secret Realm?"
A Secret Realm—that represented countless Heaven And Earth Treasures and ancient Legacies.
If Tu Wanshen were allowed to take everything for himself inside, by the time he came out...
The strength of the God-Invoking Sect would surely undergo a terrifying surge, and the entire Great Jiang would suffer for it.
Commander Fu Qingyun took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in his heart, and shook his head decisively.
"No need to look."
Commander Fu Qingyun looked at the empty sky with deep eyes. "That old thing Tu Wanshen is as cunning as a ghost.
Since he dared to forcibly tear through space to enter the Secret Realm right in front of me above these villages,
That means the real entrance to this Secret Realm cannot possibly be here."
Hearing this, the five Gold Medal Constabless also secretly gritted their teeth.
That old fox's methods were too ruthless.
"Fine, forget about Tu Wanshen. That's not for you to worry about."
Commander Fu Qingyun turned around, pointed to the people lying on the ground, and said:
"Immediately arrange for personnel to secure all the sacrificial villages in this area!
Conduct a thorough search to see if there are any surviving villagers."
"Furthermore..."
Commander Fu Qingyun pointed at the four VIP patients: Chen Shanzhi, Ouyang Wanqing, Murong Yun, and Jiang Feiyu.
"Take these four back to the Jiantian Division first and provide them with the best medicine!"
"First thing tomorrow morning, send people to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, the Prime Ministers Mansion, the Murong Family, and the Four Seas Academy.
Notify them to come to the Jiantian Division to collect their people."
Commander Fu Qingyun paused, his peripheral vision catching the Xuanguan Peak guard Zhao Er, who was also wounded but had been dutifully guarding the side.
And through his Divine Thought, he sensed the little girl shivering in a corner deep within the dungeon.
"Right, this guard here, the little girl alive in the dungeon, and all other survivors."
Commander Fu Qingyun waved his hand. "Take them all back to the Jiantian Division first. Question them about why they were here."
"Your subordinates obey!"
The five Gold Medal Constabless immediately took their orders and began to divide the work.
Two of them took the incapacitated Chen Shanzhi and the others back to the Jiantian Division first.
Another went to the dungeon to get Yaya and then took Zhao Er along.
Together, they went to the center of the village and brought Shen Lingfu and the others back.
The remaining two waited for a large number of ordinary catchers to arrive before beginning to direct the cleanup of the scene.
Commander Fu Qingyun stood amidst the ruins, the night wind blowing against his Purple-gold Python Robe.
He looked up once more, his gaze deep as he stared at the patch of night sky where Tu Wanshen had disappeared, a flash of gravity crossing his tiger-like eyes.
To make Tu Wanshen risk being killed by his use of the immortal stele just to personally run to the outskirts of the capital...
What kind of world-shaking thing is hidden inside that Secret Realm?"
