"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Zhong Kui landed in front of Qin Jun and asked. He was unharmed, with steady breath, as if he hadn't been in a battle at all.
Despite having the cultivation of a mid-level immortal in the Taiyi realm, his physical body was not as strong as Yang Jian's. Faced with the attacks of the demon kings, he had to dodge, so he was quite restricted in the encirclement. In addition, the constant harassment from the Tiger Emperor further limited his ability to win in a short time.
"I'm fine."
Qin Jun shook his head and smiled, then set down Wang Xue.
He scanned the surrounding ruins and then said, "Let's wait for an hour before leaving, until her injuries are healed."
Healed in just an hour?
Zhong Kui frowned, and Liu Ruolai and the cat girl also had the same doubts, but no one dared to refute Qin Jun.
"I didn't expect that the secret technique really worked, and you really came," Wang Xue leaned against the mountain wall and said with a smile, but her smile was heart-wrenching.
Secret technique?
Qin Jun looked puzzled, only to hear Wang Xue say with a smile, "On the first day of being trapped, I used a newly inherited life-saving technique. I prayed for you to come to my side, and I didn't expect you really came."
Life-saving technique?
Qin Jun widened his eyes. Could it be that he appeared in the Eastern Flame Domain because of Wang Xue?
It was very likely. If Yang Jian and Jinchanshi were also in the Eastern Flame Domain, they should have found him soon, because of Wang Xue's life-saving technique, he had drifted in the chaotic flow of time and space for three days before finally arriving in the Eastern Flame Domain.
If that was the case, Qin Jun was actually relieved.
He didn't want to see Wang Xue die.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Xue thought he was angry, so her face turned gray and she said, "I'm sorry, I was reckless and put you in danger."
The Eastern Flame Domain was not the Southern Domain, and it was far away. Qin Jun, accompanied only by Zhong Kui, was definitely restricted in his actions, and even offended the Night Emperor.
Tianjian was pitiful. Wang Xue didn't believe in the life-saving technique at first, but used it subconsciously in fear, and didn't expect it to come true.
"Silly girl, why apologize? If I can't even protect my own woman, how can I conquer the world?" Qin Jun smiled, calming Wang Xue's anxious heart, and her face lit up with a brilliant smile.
"Tch!"
Liu Ruolai crossed her arms and snorted disdainfully. Conquer the world?
What a big ambition!
Qin Jun couldn't be bothered with her.
Time passed quietly, and for some time, no demon beasts dared to attack them.
An hour passed quickly.
Wang Xue stood up, looking at her hands with joy, then hugged Qin Jun and said with tears and laughter, "I'm really healed!"
The others all widened their eyes. What medicine did Qin Jun give Wang Xue?
It actually allowed her to recover from serious injuries in just an hour.
"Where is the ancient relic of your cat clan? I'll send you back first," Qin Jun patted Wang Xue's back and said with a smile. He didn't plan to go back to the Southern Domain directly.
He wanted to bring Xiao Li back!
"Okay!" Wang Xue didn't hesitate.
The group of people flew away on the clouds and mist once again.
Qin Jun said to Liu Ruolai, "Are you sure you want to follow me all the way? You might die later."
Liu Ruolai's face immediately turned bitter at the thought.
But it was better to kill her than to let her go back to Nankun City alone.
The direction Qin Jun and the others were flying was deep into the Endless Domain, making her farther and farther away from Nankun City.
"I..." Liu Ruolai hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence.
Qin Jun shook his head and smiled. He would definitely have to go to the human city next and then teleport to the seaside of the Eastern Flame Domain. By then, there would be plenty of opportunities to send Liu Ruolai away.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to educate this girl and make her less rebellious.
If it weren't for Liu Ruolai's original intention to help the cat girl save Wang Xue, he wouldn't have been so troubled.
"Don't tease the little girl," Wang Xue rolled her eyes.
After this ordeal, she had completely returned to Qin Jun, and was no longer as hesitant and shy as before.
Qin Jun hugged Wang Xue and burst into laughter, making Liu Ruolai grit her teeth in frustration.
For some reason, she just couldn't stand seeing Qin Jun laugh.
"Youth is really good," Zhong Kui sighed.
Qin Jun rolled his eyes. Was this old man a confirmed bachelor?
It was quite possible. This guy might have been too busy catching ghosts and forgot to get married.
Silence fell.
The sun gradually set.
Qin Jun and the others finally arrived at the ancient relic of the cat clan. It was a valley surrounded by mountains, and after landing, Qin Jun quickly saw the entrance to the relic, a cave leading to the underground, about ten meters wide, like a big mouth.
Thud! Thud! Thud...
Qin Jun's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate, and in just a few breaths, the sound of his heartbeat was like war drums ringing in his ears.
What's going on?
Qin Jun frowned and followed silently behind Wang Xue.
At the same time, his blood began to heat up.
"War God's Blade... the soul never disperses..."
The intermittent voice of Ji Yongsheng echoed in Qin Jun's mind, startling him. He quickly asked in his mind, "Are you awake?"
The last time Ji Yongsheng's lingering soul spoke was at the Observing Heaven Assembly. Perhaps it was related to the Star Prison and the Holy Court, which triggered Ji Yongsheng's lingering soul.
But what about this time?
Could it be that something in the ancient ruins of the Cat People attracted Ji Yongsheng?
Qin Jun was full of doubts. He felt grateful and awed by Ji Yongsheng. The bloodline of the Flame Demon had completely transformed him, and now he relied on his own strength to fight beyond his level. But at the same time, he was afraid that Ji Yongsheng was hiding some kind of conspiracy.
"There is something inside that must be under your control..."
The voice of Ji Yongsheng's lingering soul sounded again, this time much clearer and no longer intermittent. His tone was calm, making Qin Jun once again think of his towering figure, like Pangu who opened up the heavens and the earth.
"What is it?" Qin Jun quickly asked.
How did this guy wake up?
Qin Jun felt frustrated. If Ji Yongsheng's consciousness was clear, he wouldn't be able to do anything with his woman in the future.
"You'll know when you go in," Ji Yongsheng's voice was as calm as water.
Qin Jun didn't ask any more questions, and the group continued down the passage.
"It turns out that the history of the Cat People is even older than what we have recorded. It is said that a long time ago, there was a Holy Court in the world, and the Cat People were the elite warriors under the War God of the Holy Court. However, after the Holy Court fell, the Cat People also fell into decline," Wang Xue explained as she led the way.
"It is said that whenever a member of the Cat People breaks through the Taiyi Realm, they mysteriously disappear, which is also the reason why the Cat People have been unable to rise," she added.
This statement raised Qin Jun's eyebrows.
Could it be that some force is eyeing the Cat People?
Liu Ruolai was amazed to hear this. She had never even heard of the Cat People, let alone the Taiyi Realm.
"The Holy Court? Is it a presence similar to the Temple?" Liu Ruolai asked excitedly.
Unlike the backward Southern Region, most people in the Eastern Flame Domain knew about the existence of the Temple.
"I'm not sure," Wang Xue shook her head and smiled. "The records in the ancient ruins have become vague due to their antiquity."
