Black Robe teleported back to the old castle and commanded the guards, allowing Shen Wei to rest.
"Guard Ying, teleport the prisoners to the gateway where I'll join you shortly to send them back. Then remove Lord Zhao for treatment at home. Are the guards badly injured?"
"No, My Lord, nothing that can't be fixed. Chu's a good healer."
"Allow me to speak to Lord Zhao first, then I'll join you."
Ying nodded and rounded up the prisoners, making sure that he had left no one behind and transported everyone to the gateway out of this world and prison on their own, while he waited patiently on Black Robe.
Yunlan was still in the same position and Wei knelt down beside him to examine the damage. He leaned over and kissed him lightly waiting for him to open his eyes, and spoke softly as he smiled.
"The guards are taking you home where Chu can look after your injuries but I'm going to heal a few of your bones first to make the journey more comfortable for you. The most pain you will feel will only be my fingers looking for damage, my love."
Yunlan nodded but didn't speak, he knew that Wei would be as kind as possible but he was anxious about his ribs. Wei slid the tips of his fingers over the first broken rib and saw the pain register before he touched any other area. He summoned Apep's green glow and cradled Yunlan's face until he was asleep, then he could continue the examination and heal every broken bone and bruise, while a couple of large snakes stayed close by and watched him work. When he was finished he stood up to leave and the snakes moved closer to guard Yunlan but dipped their heads to Wei before he teleported to the gateway where the guards were waiting for him.
The prisoners recognised him as soon as he appeared and their fear doubled because they knew he was there to send them back. He deliberately allowed them to see that he didn't need the orb to open the gateway, to deter anyone from trying to steal it in the future and he filled his hands with dark obsidian energy and fired it directly towards the gate. Ying led the prisoners through to the awaiting Royal Guard, and they were taken to prison to be held for judgment.
Black Robe sighed with relief, there was one last thing he had to do and there would be no witnesses.
"Guard Ying, please take Lord Zhao home with the rest of the guards and Daqing. Make sure that they all have their injuries tended to. I will join you soon. Thank you."
Ying had been feeling mixed emotions from Shen Wei but he couldn't stay to see what was causing the problem, he had to follow his orders and he left Black Robe alone while he took Yunlan and the guards home. Wei returned to the empty castle and looked for the largest snake who was one of the guards for Yunlan and asked him for a favour before he stood in place to do what Yunlan would have, if he were conscious.
