Zhao Min squealed in pain as purifying medicated spell water seeped through her wounds. Her strange wounds spouted black spores which emitted foul stench.

Wei Yue could do nothing to alleviate Zhao Min's pain. All he could do was just watch her writhe in it.

'I suspect that these wounds weren't caused by ordinary enchantment. This is celestial magic.'

Luo Na and Xian Hua arrived at the bathroom afterwards. As Luo Na's eyes set sight on the agonizing pain that Zhao Min was in, she immediately rushed up to her and checked her wounds.

"What did you do to deserve wounds like these Zhao'er?"

"I'm sorry sister Luo. I was a fool to trust XuanZheng and I am sorry that I have betrayed you all."

"Shhh.... Don't spout such nonsense or your wounds won't heal."

"Sis Luo. Someone other than XuanZheng wants you and Xiao Na in harm's way. If I were you, please go to the Jade Phoenix's Kingdom and you'll be safe there."

"Zhao..."

After speaking, Zhao fell unconscious into Luo Na's arms. Luo Na touched the wounds. Her eyes darkened as she swished away the spores from Zhao Min's wounds.

She stepped away from the bath and angrily made her exit without speaking a word. Elaa walked closer to the tub and asked Wei Yue...

"Sire... What are we going to do?"
"For now... Let us wait. I'll prepare a purifying ceremony which will heal her wounds."

"But Sire... That..."

"It is alright Elaa... Do not worry about me."

Wei Yue left the bathroom and Elaa was all alone staring at the unconscious and helpless Zhao. She couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

'Sis Zhao...'

Walking towards the pavillion where Xiao Na and LanRong sat, Luo Na clenched her fists in contempt.

'LanRong must know who sent out a Tian Lang to hunt Zhao Min.'

As she arrived at the pavillion, she asked Xiao Na if she could have a talk with LanRong privately.

"Xiao Na... May I talk to LanRong alone?"

"Certainly, sister."

Xiao Na excused himself and went walking inside the palace. Luo Na sat at the opposite side facing LanRong. Her contempt almost swallowed her but she managed to stay calm amidst the storm inside her.

"LanRong... Just this night, one of my friends came at the castle wounded by a Tian Lang. Do you know who sent that Tian Lang?"

"I- I don't know."

Luo Na stood up and slapped LanRong's face. A visible red mark appeared on her cheek.

"Sis Luo... I... It must've been my father."

"Who is he to harm Zhao Min? And why go so far sending a Tian Lang?"

"He desperately wants the Shangguan Longyan box and the power inside it."

Luo Na stepped away from LanRong she put her fingers between her nose bridge.

"LanRong... How many times should I tell you... I don't know a Shungguan Longyan box! I don't even know where it is!"
