Yu Xi was only responsible for preserving the lives of the Heavenly Chosen, but not for fully restoring their injuries.
Fortunately, a powerful nation like the Shepherd Kingdom was never lacking in elixirs or powerful healing cultivators.
Yuwen Duo rushed off the martial arts stage, holding Zhao Rucheng, and hurried like a whirlwind towards the area outside the Six-Harmonies Pillar.
Among the healing cultivators accompanying the Shepherd Kingdom this time was a highly skilled imperial physician who preferred peace and quiet, and whose healing methods were inconvenient for outsiders to see. Therefore, he had not come to the scene to observe the ceremony but remained on standby in Shepherd Street. Yuwen Duo was going to find him.
"Duo..." Zhao Rucheng said with difficulty.
"What is it?" Yuwen Duo asked as he hastened. He controlled his body well, causing no jolts whatsoever.
"Stay." Zhao Rucheng said.
"We are going to Shepherd Street to treat your injuries!" Yuwen Duo's voice was anxious.
Zhao Rucheng paused and insisted, "I want to watch the battle."
"No, you listen to me!"
Yuwen Duo flung out the words, ignoring everything and heading outwards, intending to take advantage of Zhao Rucheng's severe injuries to make a unilateral decision.
Suddenly, his figure stopped, having been pulled back.
Yuwen Duo looked back and saw Helian Yunyun watching him.
"I need to take Rucheng to get his injuries treated, Your Highness Yun!" he said urgently.
"We must respect the feelings of the injured," the Princess of the Great Shepherd Kingdom said thus.
"Respect what? We'll respect him after his injuries are healed," Yuwen Duo turned to leave again.
Helian Yunyun pulled him back again.
"When I say you're sensible, you don't seem sensible. When I say you're not sensible, you try hard to be sensible." Helian Yunyun glared at him. "Are you sensible or not?"
Yuwen Duo was a little bewildered: "Wh... What do you mean?"
Helian Yunyun was too lazy to waste any more words. With a twist of her hand, she had already snatched Zhao Rucheng into her arms, impatiently shaking her chin: "Go to Shepherd Street and get some injury medicine. Leave this place to me."
Yuwen Duo looked at his empty hands, intending to argue a couple of points, but in the end, he wasn't completely foolish. He just muttered a dejected "Oh" and hurried to Shepherd Street to find the imperial physician for medicine.
On the martial arts stage, which had been restored to its original state, Jiang Wang, the Heavenly Chosen of the Qi Kingdom, stood alone with his hand on his sword.
Huang Sheli had already returned to the battle preparation area of the Jing Kingdom and was casually patting Zhongshan Wei Sun's shoulder, saying something.
And Qin Zhizhen, the Heavenly Chosen of the Qin Kingdom, wearing black martial attire, was leaving the battle preparation area and walking step by step.
At that moment, everything on the stage seemed ethereal and distant.
Only this determined black figure moving forward and that steadfast green figure standing tall reflected reality.
The second half of the Inner Mansion Field semifinals of the Yellow River Meeting was about to begin...
Helian Yunyun held Zhao Rucheng, settled him in the observation seat of the Shepherd Kingdom, and deliberately sat some distance away from the Female Nun Yuzhen.
Then she took out a jade bottle, removed the stopper, and sprinkled the green medicinal powder on Zhao Rucheng's wound.
Zhao Rucheng felt almost immediately that the wound on his neck began to itch, which was proof that the damaged flesh and blood were recovering.
Immediately after, Helian Yunyun took out a small golden pot, poured out a few drops of golden medicinal liquid, and let them fall on the wound.
The painful sensation also disappeared, and the wound was flowing with a warm feeling.
Looking at the pair of beautiful, pale green eyes that were leaning over, Zhao Rucheng was a little dazed.
Didn't you tell Yuwen Duo to get the injury medicine? What are you doing now?
Helian Yunyun smiled sweetly and very gently said: "How is it? Feeling better? Can you see clearly sitting here? Do you want to sit closer?"
Zhao Rucheng sighed deeply in his heart.
"Much better," he said. "Let's watch the match."
At this point, he could speak without much effort. The medicine Helian Yunyun used was almost divine.
It was a pity that what was broken was not just his neck; the injured potential and even his soul needed time to recover. But as far as the physical wounds were concerned, they were almost healed.
He also didn't look so miserable anymore.
"Okay!"
Helian Yunyun sat beside him, her eyes also looking at the martial arts stage, and casually asked: "What is the relationship between that Jiang Wang from the Qi Kingdom and you?"
Zhao Rucheng looked at the solitary green figure standing on the martial arts stage and said slowly: "He is my sworn brother. I always thought he was gone. Speaking of which, I came to the Guanhe Terrace after hearing news of him."
Helian Yunyun looked at the martial arts stage, nodded, and seemed lost in thought.
The second half of the Inner Mansion Field semifinals of the Yellow River Meeting finally began.
This was the match most anticipated before the competition.
It was a battle between Qin Zhizhen, the Heavenly Chosen of the Heavenly Mansion, and Jiang Wang, who had soundly defeated Xiang Bei.
Many people were even anxiously hoping before the match that the first half could ideally be skipped and the result obtained directly.
Because they were truly looking forward to the brilliance of another Heavenly Mansion cultivator in this session. And what was the limit of Jiang Wang, who had defeated the top Heavenly Chosen Xiang Bei and still seemed at ease?
No one had expected beforehand that the battle between the Heavenly Chosen of the Jing and Shepherd Kingdoms could be so spectacular.
Zhao Rucheng drawing the Son of Heaven Sword had already astonished everyone.
Huang Sheli even turned defeat into victory with her ultimate divine ability, leaving people dumbfounded.
It is no exaggeration to say that this battle in the first half almost elevated the quality of this session's Yellow River Meeting Inner Mansion Field to the forefront of history.
Now, it remains to be seen whether the battle between the Heavenly Chosen of the Qin and Qi Kingdoms can make this session's Yellow River Meeting Inner Mansion Field etched in history!
If the Heavenly Chosen of the Qin and Qi Kingdoms can also present a clash no less spectacular than the first half, then the excitement of this session's Yellow River Meeting Inner Mansion Field can almost enter the top ten in history!
Now, Jiang Wang, standing tall on the stage, welcomed his semifinal opponent.
Qin Zhizhen walked neither quickly nor slowly. No matter how anxious the observers were, no matter how people anticipated or urged him, he still moved forward at his inherent speed, breaking through the tide of gazes along the way, finally standing on the martial arts stage like a reef.
Qin Zhizhen, in black clothing, was like a silent black reef.
Jiang Wang, in a green robe with his sword, was like a sturdy green pine tree.
Each had their own demeanor, confronting each other separated by the clear light of True Monarch Yu Xi.
Speaking of which, this was of course the most anticipated battle beforehand, but specifically concerning the two opponents, naturally more people believed that Qin Zhizhen would win.
After all, the simultaneous illumination of the Five Mansions was simply too brilliant.
However, after the battle between Huang Sheli and Zhao Rucheng ended, some people did raise their expectations for Jiang Wang.
They all remembered that after Qin Zhizhen displayed the light of the Five Mansions' simultaneous illumination, the other three in the top four were not afraid at all, but rather eager to try.
At that time, many people felt it was a brave front.
Looking at it now...
Zhao Rucheng, who drew the Son of Heaven Sword, absolutely had the strength to fight against a Heavenly Mansion cultivator.
And Huang Sheli, who possessed the ultimate divine ability, was even more dazzling.
So what about Jiang Wang?
What kind of spectacle will he display?
Yu Xi had not yet officially announced the start.
Jiang Wang's hand was already on his sword.
And people saw—
Qin Zhizhen extended his solid and stable hand, reaching into the void, and from the void, he drew out a black long saber!
This was the first time Qin Zhizhen had taken out his weapon since the Yellow River Meeting began.
And it was under circumstances where Jiang Wang had not shown any pressure.
Before the battle began!
(Little Jiang makes his appearance!
