Chapter 49 Yu Bai, severely injured, arrives in Ningguta
The Bloodthirsty Palace, a mysterious organization hidden in the world, is like a ghost in the darkness, gathering countless chilling assassins. Their whereabouts are elusive, and their methods are ruthless, making them feared by all in the martial arts world.
Despite the pain in his body, Yu Bai used his remaining strength to give his wounds a simple bandage. After a long and arduous journey, he finally arrived at the official residence in Ningguta an hour later. At this time, his face was as pale as paper, and his steps were unsteady, as if he would collapse at any moment.
The patrolling soldiers were the first to spot the suspicious-looking man and immediately shouted, "Who goes there? This is a forbidden area; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" Yu Bai raised his head, laboriously holding up the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and said in a weak but firm voice, "Please give this jade pendant to Crown Prince Xiao Jingchuan; he will surely see me!"
The soldier took the jade pendant with suspicion and examined it carefully for a moment. He noticed that the pendant was stained with blood, but the unique markings on it were still clearly visible. He realized that this was no small matter, so he turned around and hurriedly went into the house to report.
At this moment, Xiao Jingchuan, inside the room, was frowning, racking his brains about how to obtain that crucial seed. Suddenly, a soldier's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, there is a seriously injured man outside who has entrusted me to deliver this jade pendant to you."
Xiao Jingchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up and opened the door. In an instant, the blood-stained jade pendant came into view. He looked closely and immediately recognized it as the jade pendant worn by Xiao Han's bodyguard. An ominous premonition surged into his heart, and he asked urgently, "Where is he?" Before he finished speaking, he had already strode out of the house.
The soldiers dared not slacken their pace, leading Xiao Jingchuan at a brisk run towards the city gate. Looking into the distance, they saw a slender figure swaying and leaning precariously against the wall, as if he would collapse at any moment. That person was none other than Yu Bai.
"Your Highness... Your Majesty! His Majesty has sent me to pay my respects to the Crown... Consort!" Yu Bai forced himself to speak despite the excruciating pain, but before he could finish speaking, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
At that very moment, Gu Liuli was in the back discussing with Bai Jing and the others how to prepare the various tools needed to manufacture crossbows after they split up. Just then, a servant rushed in, looking flustered, and reported: "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince is searching everywhere for you. He wants you to return to your room immediately. It is said that something about Bai is in critical condition!"
Upon hearing the name "Yu Bai," Gu Liuli was startled, her face instantly filled with astonishment, and she abruptly stood up. Yu Bai was a trusted bodyguard who had always served the Emperor; logically, his martial arts skills should be extremely high. How could he suddenly be in such a precarious state, on the verge of death? And why had he appeared here so abruptly?
Filled with doubt, Gu Liuli hurriedly stepped into the house. When she saw Yu Bai's condition, she couldn't help but gasp – Yu Bai's body was covered with sword wounds of all sizes, some so deep that the bone was visible, and blood was constantly gushing from the wounds, staining the surrounding ground a dark red.
Gu Liuli quickly stepped forward to take Yu Bai's pulse and diagnose him. After a moment, she frowned and turned to Xiao Jingchuan with a serious expression, saying, "Jingchuan, Yu Bai's injuries this time are extremely serious. If he wants to save his life, he must receive careful and comprehensive treatment. There is no time to lose. You should take your people and leave for now, and do not disturb me while I treat him."
Gu Liuli cried out to the system in a frantic voice, "System! Yu Bai's breath is extremely weak right now, and the situation is critical! Do you have any medicine that can save his life? Please think of a way for me quickly!" Her voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Upon hearing Gu Liuli's urgent call, the system reacted swiftly. A soft electronic sound rang out, and then a virtual panel appeared in its mind. This panel shimmered with a faint light, clearly displaying an image of a smooth, round pill radiating a mysterious glow.
"Host, there is a magical pill here called the 'Jade Bone Rejuvenation Pill'. Those who take this pill will not only have their bones regrown, but even if they are left with only their last breath, they will definitely survive! However, this pill requires 30,000 exchange points." The system introduced to Gu Liuli in a calm tone.
At this moment, Gu Liuli had no time to consider anything else; her only thought was to save Yu Bai's life as quickly as possible. Therefore, she blurted out without hesitation, "No matter how many points it costs, I'll exchange it! Exchange it for me immediately!"
As Gu Liuli's firm words fell, the system quickly responded: "Congratulations, host, on successfully exchanging for the Jade Bone Rejuvenation Pill! The pill is now placed in your personal space. Please go and retrieve it yourself." Gu Liuli breathed a slight sigh of relief upon receiving this news, but she dared not delay for the slightest. She immediately focused her mind and entered her space to find the life-saving pill.
Gu Liuli used her mind to take the Rejuvenation Pill out of her spatial storage.
Gu Liuli concentrated her mind and used her powerful willpower to summon the incomparably precious Rejuvenation Pill from the mysterious space. This pill emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless vitality and hope.
As she carefully placed the Rejuvenation Pill to Yu Bai's pale lips, an astonishing scene unfolded! Wisps of faint, ethereal light, like wisps of smoke, slowly emanated from the pill. These wisps, like nimble little snakes, gracefully and deftly coiled around the lifeless, bloodless body. They gently caressed the dead man's cold skin, and wherever they touched, the original gray and decaying colors faded away at an astonishing speed, as if by magic.
Before long, an even more surprising change occurred—Yu Bai's chest began to rise and fall noticeably! At first, this rise and fall was very slight, like a gentle breeze rippling across a calm lake; however, gradually, the fluctuations became stronger and stronger, like the tolling of a huge bell, producing a deep and powerful sound. With each powerful breath, a large amount of fresh air rushed into his lungs, quickly dispelling the deathly stillness that surrounded him.
"Cough cough!" With a violent cough, Yu Bai finally managed to open his tightly closed and extremely weak eyes. However, before he could even utter a single word, Gu Liuli, who was anxiously waiting beside him, quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't speak yet, just rest! We can talk about everything tomorrow."
Lying on the hospital bed, Yu Bai helplessly closed his eyes once again, which had become unusually pale due to his injuries.
