The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 136 Besieging and Attacking

In the Qifeng Palace, Queen Liu sipped and tasted tea slowly. When she heard the news from her fellows, she could not help raising her eyebrows slightly. At last, there was information about Hua Qiyue. But this time, she was betrayed by Huangfu Shenglin.

"Hum, that silly woman really thought Huangfu Shenglin loved her? She must not expect that she would be betrayed by him this time? Huangfu Shenglin forsook her just for earning rewards!" The First Prince said coldly. Although he was already half-paraplegic, the Emperor had promised that he would seek help from Prince Nan to cure him.

The First Prince was very angry, but he had to wait until Hua Qiyue was captured and then try his best to find Prince Nan.

"Hua Qiyue was cunning. I am afraid that... it could be a trap." Queen Liu gently took a sip of tea. Her heart was full of confusion.

Hua Qiyue and Huangfu Shenglin were best friends. She disclosed her hiding place to him intentionally or...

"Your Majesty Queen and Mother, whether it was intentional or not, we must use the Evil Eliminating Array to kill her this time!" The First Prince said angrily.

Because there were too many variables. Just like the activity last time, he believed that he would succeed, but he lost half of his life instead. It was too worthless.

"That’s true. The variables are extremely changeable. How many times we thought we could defeat Hua Qiyue, but each time we were defeated by her. This time, naturally, we can’t fail," Queen Liu echoed. After several confrontations, she had felt how increasingly terrible Hua Qiyue was.

How could an ordinary woman be her, Queen Liu’s, rival?

But Hua Qiyue survived again and again and she was more and more powerful. How could the Queen not hate her?

"Last time I underestimated her abilities and caused the sad consequences. But... Shui Qianruo has been loyal to me all the time. Why did he suddenly become a person on Hua Qiyue’s side?" Queen Liu was extremely confused.

"It is said that Shui Qianruo was caught by Princess Huiya’s people because of breaking into the princess hall late at night. He was then sent to the Celestial Prison."

Liu Mo, who had never said a word, told them coldly. He was really ashamed by the recent failure.

Half of the Qi Artists in the Four Great Families died, three quarters of them were injured, and the remaining one-fourth—only the seniors, remained sound.

But this failure also let them understand that Hua Qiyue was not simple. She also knew many lost secret arts, otherwise, she could not be so powerful.

"It should be a trap Hua Qiyue set up. So, shall we still attack Red-crowned Crane Mountain?" The First Prince frowned.

The person he hated most now was Hua Qiyue!

If it weren’t for her, he would not be disabled. And now, he was not a sound man nor a complete ghost.

"Certainly, we will go. We have the Evil Eliminating Array. Why are we afraid of her? The Emperor has given orders, and our Four Great Families have taken the initiative to capture the enchantress." Liu Mo said, with terrible light in his eyes, "I heard that the enchantress was promoted to the lower level of Cultivation Dimension. She was promoted several levels... This time we have to be very careful with her."

"Daddy, you deal with her. As for the matters in the palace, I will solve them naturally." Queen Liu still smiled faintly. How could she still laugh even when such a thing happened!

When the First Prince saw Queen Liu’s smile, he was suddenly depressed.

But when he thought that he would soon be able to sit on the Emperor’s throne, he felt excited again.

"OK. I’ll go back and discuss with the main family figures about how to arrange the array. Write to me if you have any matters!" Liu Mo said, and then left wearily.

Having been the House Master of the Liu family for so many years, Liu Mo felt so helpless for the first time.

Hua Qiyue was so powerful that the Four Great Families had to take her seriously again.

When Liu Mo returned to the Liu’s Mansion, he gathered the House Masters of the Four Great Families together to hold a long meeting.

Everyone agreed that even if Hua Qiyue was powerful, she couldn’t withstand the Evil Eliminating Array. This array needed the devil’s blood to be removed. And if Hua Qiyue was really trapped and strangled by it, then all the magic drugs would be distributed among them.

When people thought of those precious magic drugs, their eyes were shining and they looked as if in a frenzy. So they had to get a hold of Hua Qiyue.

So this second discussion soon had the result. Because the temptation of the magic medicine was greater than everything else, they didn’t care who Hua Qiyue was, and what secret arts she had mastered.

They didn’t believe that Hua Qiyue could escape from the Evil Eliminating Array. If she did, it would be too strange. Then the Four Great Families decided that five days later, they would send their strongest Qi Artists to Red-crowned Crane Mountain.

There were also some people who sympathized with Hua Qiyue but dared not lend a hand, sighing secretly. Hua Qiyue was a righteous woman, and it was not worth it to betray the Eleventh Prince for her sake.

Wasn’t the former Huangfu Shenglin the most just prince? How could he betray Hua Qiyue?

There were storms in Changjing city. People all knew that the days were getting more and more uneven.

————————

In Prince Nan’s mansion.

In the tall tower, the fourth floor.

Yun Shimo, Prince Nan, was meticulously pouring a bowl of blue pool water into the medicine tripod. The tiny hare stood on his shoulder with a dignified look.

"Adding ten Rebirth Herbs, ten Ginseng with Nine Souls, five Long Reds and six Saussurea Involucrata and then refined together. Within about two hours, we will finish refining the number one elixir—Rebirth Soul-body Pellet."

The tiny hare said solemnly, "But there will also be times of failure. If the alchemy fails, you will have a catastrophe. Maybe you will suffer light injuries, or if it’s serious, you will die. Are you sure you want to go on?"

The tiny hare was knowledgeable. Yun Shimo only heard about the Rebirth Soul-body Pellet. But he never knew its prescription. So he was overjoyed when he knew that the little hare understood how to refine it.

Because if he succeeded, he could save his father by it. And his father would no longer be a ghostly strand.

"As long as I can bring my father back to life, I have no other choice," Yun Shimo answered lightly, with no wavering in his eyes.

On one side, Madame Yun could not help but worry. Her eyes were red, but she could not provide any help to Yun Shimo. So she turned the beautiful face and quietly wiped her tears.

"Well, I have nothing to say. So let’s start. If you really fail, I will help you. But whether you will live or not, it is up to you own fortune!" The tiny hare said. It stretched out its paws, pop, an inky light passed, and directly fell down on Yun Shimo’s hand!

Ink light!

Yun Shimo knew that ink light represented the Holy God level. In this way, he realized that this tiny hare was already a Qi Artist at the Holy God level.

"I’ll lend you a light. You can start to refine!"

The tiny hare said. The ink light on Yun Shimo’s finger had turned into a little ink-colored flame. The flame looked calm with no fluctuation. But when it touched the medicine tripod, Yun Shimo heard the sound of buzzing which gave him a fearful shock.

The ink-colored fire quickly converted the medicine in the tripod into liquid and made it flow slowly.

Yun Shimo knew that if he wanted to refine a Rebirth Soul-body Pellet on his own, it could take him six hours to finish it, or even longer.

But with the tiny hare’s fire, it should be finished in about two hours.

Yun Shimo poured his power into his hands to add the fire power and begin to refine slowly.

There were no others beside them. The tiny hare stared at the medicine tripod carefully. Later, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

It had lived for more than ten thousand years and had met many alchemists, but such an excellent person like him was really rare. Yun Shimo controled fire very well. The medical liquid in the medicine tripod became more and more transparent and fragrant.

Yun Shimo poured great spiritual energy into his hands and he felt stressful slowly. After all, refining medicine was not a good job. More importantly, the medicine he refined was the world’s most powerful medicine pellet.

One hour later, Yun Shimo was pale, and the cold sweat, like round pearls, rolled down from his forehead.

Madame Yun had gone down to the third floor, where Ji Feng and the others were waiting for Yun Shimo. Everyone was anxious. At present, Hua Qiyue hid in Red-crowned Crane Mountain. Although she said there could be no danger to her life, Ji Feng and others were still worried.

"We should be there with her." Ji Feng said with a soft sigh, "But Qiyue is full of confidence, saying that she will defeat those Qi Artists."

Huangfu Xuan was also annoyed. Hua Qiyue did not allow Caining, Caiqing and him to follow her, telling them that she was confident.

"Don’t worry about her first. Caining and Caiqing, now you are standing on the side of Hua Qiyue. You had better go back to the Hua’s Mansion to take a look. Those Palace Guards shouldn’t kill the people in the Hua’s Mansion. But if they do, don’t be polite!" Jifeng suggested.

Caining and Caiqing nodded, and then went down silently. From contempt and dissatisfaction at first to be willing to follow her, they were moved by Hua Qiyue’s personality, charm and strength.

No woman could be so crazy and powerful. Although the First Prince set up a trap for her but he was still injured like that. As for Shui Qianruo, he had been confused and now confined in the Celestial Prison.

Time passed by little by little.

There was still no information on the fourth floor.

Madame Yun was anxious and was about to go up. Ji Jing held her back, saying, "Madame Yun, you had better don’t go upstair to disturb Brother Yun’s alchemy. After all, he needs his full concentration."

"Yes, Madame Yun, please believe Brother Yun will be able to refine it."

Ji Feng also consoled on the side, and Madame Yun was left at ease.

On the fourth floor, Yun Shimo’s face turned paler, but he stared at the liquid in the tripod attentively. The fire on his hand grew bigger and bigger, making a sound of pop, pop, and a strong smell of medicine spread through the whole fourth floor.

The anima energy around Yun Shimo plunged into his body, but his face was even paler. It was evident how difficult it was to make this kind of medicine.

The tiny hare squinted and watched the liquid in the tripod getting thicker and thicker, knowing that the pellet was almost ready.

But it was the last moment that was the key to alchemy, because generally speaking, the alchemist would lose most of his spiritual energy, and feel physically weak in the end. So most people would fail on the last step.

"Universe Fire, coagulate!" Suddenly there was light shining in Yun Shimo’s eyes. The fire in his hand doubled, and the power increased several times, burning on the bottom of the tripod. Then the liquid in the tripod dried up and thickened crazily, surrounded by a hazy moonlight gas!
