Ling Zhenfei said, "Flower God, trust me, I will definitely help you heal, but I can't stay here for now."
The Flower God said, "You may go, my health is already like this, helping one is better than none."
After the two finished their discussion, the Barrier opened, and Ling Zhenfei walked out.
Muler and the little sprite were waiting outside, full of curiosity.
Upon seeing the Barrier open, Muler saw Ling Zhenfei walk out and asked, "What did you just discuss with the Flower God?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Discussing some medical matters you wouldn't understand."
Muler asked, "How did the discussions go?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Not too bad."
At this moment, the Flower God spoke.
"Muler, this gentleman's Medical Arts are indeed exquisite. He has already found a method to treat my illness, but it requires some herbs not found here.
These herbs should be found in the forest. Muler, you should escort this gentleman out. Once he finds the herbs, he will naturally return."
Muler said in surprise, "That's not feasible. What if this person leaves and doesn't come back?"
The Flower God said, "I have planted the Flower God's Barrier on him. When the time comes, he will return. If he doesn't, he will certainly die."
Muler laughed and said, "So that's how it is. Flower God, you're truly amazing. That kid wouldn't dare play any tricks."
The Flower God said, "Just escort him out quickly. It's about to get dark; don't let anything happen."
Muler said, "Okay, Flower God, I will escort him out."
The little sprite also began to see the guest off. Ling Zhenfei and Muler followed behind the little sprite and walked out.
Once outside, both Muler and Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but turn back to look at the three-story building, especially the third floor.
That place earlier and the business club were completely different.
Inside, it was filled with flowers and grass, seemingly out of place.
This Supreme Divine Palace is a black palace; the stones used to construct the palace are all black stones, looking quite extraordinary.
However, walking upon it always gave a chilly feeling, unlike the Flower God's residence, which always had a spring vibe.
Muler said, "You're really lucky, kid. Even without curing the Flower God's illness, you managed to escape with your life; don't think I don't know what sneaky plans you're up to."
Ling Zhenfei said, "What sneaky plans? Go ahead and tell me."
Muler said, "You definitely wouldn't be able to cure the Flower God's illness; you only pretended to save your life, claiming you could heal but needed herbs not found here and thus had to go look for them.
But I'm sure you won't return. Once outside, you'll try to unravel the Flower God's Barrier, but let me tell you, the Flower God is the top expert under the Supreme God.
Don't be deceived by her current illness; with just a snap of her fingers, she could kill you. So, think well about how to help the Flower God recover."
Ling Zhenfei said, "As you say, of course, I intend to help the Flower God recover well. I will be back soon."
Muler said, "That's good to hear, follow me."
Ling Zhenfei followed Muler walking afar, looking around, finding everything in the Supreme Divine Palace fresh.
Soon, they exited the Supreme Divine Palace; everything inside was so grand, really remarkable.
Outside the palace walls stood rows of foreign race soldiers, looking quite menacing.
The setting sun was about to fall behind the mountain, dyeing the entire western sky a blood-red hue.
Muler said, "Alright, hurry up and leave."
Once outside the palace walls, Ling Zhenfei indeed felt much relieved. Being here on such open ground, even if he wanted to run, he could.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Brother Muler, I'll take my leave now, see you later."
Muler frowned and said, "Are you seeking death!"
Ling Zhenfei hastily replied, "Of course not."
After speaking, Ling Zhenfei turned and left.
Between the palace walls and the forest was a large area of low shrubs, flattened to the ground due to previous battles.
Blood seeped into the ground, hidden beneath the shrubs, with only the smell of blood in the wind, telling of a previous battle.
The air echoed with a bird's cry, an unknown bird calling in the sky, circling overhead as some type of strange bird.
Ling Zhenfei thought of his Lightning Bird, wondering where it was now. However, Ling Zhenfei knew that once he appeared on clear ground, the Lightning Bird would soon find him.
The foreign race soldiers had already retreated into the forest, a small portion remained outside the palace walls, but many had vanished, presumably hiding back in the forest.
Muler escorted Ling Zhenfei past the foreign race guards' territory, reaching the area between the forest and palace walls.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Perhaps I should go myself, no need to escort."
Muler said, "I'm afraid you'll play tricks. Kid, you better come back honestly this time, or I won't forgive you."
Ling Zhenfei waved to Muler saying, "See you."
Then Ling Zhenfei began to stride forward.
Just then, a voice of Northern Spiritual Energy suddenly called out, "Muler, stop that kid!"
Muler heard it, Ling Zhenfei naturally heard it too, realizing something was amiss.
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei took off running, but at this point, Muler also reacted, his treasured sword flying into the air and headed straight for Ling Zhenfei.
The sword moved incredibly fast, aiming to pierce Ling Zhenfei's back.
Ling Zhenfei was truly shocked, knowing if the sword pierced him, he might not survive.
Ling Zhenfei initially intended to flee without a fight, but now fighting was inevitable.
At this thought, Ling Zhenfei drew his Tang Horizontal Saber, slashing it in a reversal move.
The Iaido's Northern Spiritual Energy clashed directly with Muler's sword, knocking it away.
But Muler's sword quickly flew back; despite Muler's decent skill, he was slightly inferior to Ling Zhenfei.
The Tang sword in Ling Zhenfei's hand swung Northern Spiritual Energy towards Muler's sword.
The Boundless Blade Technique in his hand, with spinning Northern Spiritual Energy, advanced towards Muler.
Throughout, Ling Zhenfei kept pondering who shouted those words, and why they wanted him to stay.
While thinking, Ling Zhenfei suddenly sensed someone appearing from afar, inside the Supreme Divine Palace.
This person moved remarkably fast, emitting Northern Spiritual Energy, jumping directly from the top of the Supreme Divine Palace's wall.
He carried a Little Hammer in his hands, emitting a golden glow, clearly special.
Upon seeing this, Ling Zhenfei felt a sense of déjà vu; that day when Ling Zhenfei and the Eastern Emperor were attacked, he didn't see the assailant, but he clearly saw the weapon that looked like a ring.
This ring emitted a white glow, just like this Little Hammer.
Seeing this person, Ling Zhenfei was shocked because he recognized him.
In the Supreme Divine Palace, Ling Zhenfei happened upon some people meeting, including the Four Great Protectors, one of whom had previously inquired about Ling Zhenfei's situation.
