After the group of black-clad men left, Yun Wu, who was badly injured, and the two brothers from Xuntang Valley stumbled out of the forest.
They rushed to the riverbank and took a close look. Sure enough, there was no sign of anything in the river anymore.
Mo Junyi, Da Zi, all have vanished without a trace.
Yun Wu collapsed to his knees, staring blankly at the river.
In the end… he still betrayed their King’s trust.
The prince can swim, but this water is flowing so fast. The river has risen noticeably these past two days. Even if he could swim, jumping in would probably be too dangerous.
The two people from Xintang Valley also had pale faces. They had only just managed to escape, but there were only three of them left. The others…had all sacrificed themselves.
Their three lives were saved by those brothers who gave their lives for them.
I thought they could save the young master in time, but when they arrived, he was gone. They kept searching in the river, which means the young master and Da Zi jumped into the river in front of them.
Yun Wu’s face was contorted in suppressed fury, veins throbbing on his forehead. He plunged his sword deep into the earth with a grunt of exertion.
Though Xún Táng Gu’s two brothers were also very distressed, they were now looking at Yun Wu’s injuries, which looked horrifying.
The wound keeps bleeding nonstop. If it’s not treated quickly, it could lead to serious consequences from blood loss.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other subconsciously, then both walked to Yun Wu’s side and reached out to help him up.
“Yunwu, the Crown Prince is a blessed person with good fortune. Nothing will happen to him. However, you need to take care of your wounds now. At least stop the bleeding, otherwise, you won’t make it.”
Yun Wu shook his head, shaking off the two hands holding him. He struggled to his feet and ran straight downstream, “I believe the young master must have a way to come up. Da Zi can also swim, it will definitely find a way to save the young master.”
After that, he ran constantly downstream.
But this river is so vast, and the terrain it passes through is so treacherous, with such a strong current. How could we possibly find him down there?
Let alone the prince having been swept away for a while, even if he had just jumped in, they wouldn’t be able to catch up with him using their light skills, given the water current.
They are well aware of this, otherwise why would they not look downstream?
So searching like Yunwu, will only be futile.
But Yunwu was determined to keep searching, and they couldn’t say anything, so they had to follow him reluctantly.
Three people, dragging their seriously wounded bodies, continued to search.
Even now that it is late at night, and though they are martial artists with better vision than ordinary people, it is still not good enough.
It’s pitch black in here, I can barely see anything.
The three of them continued their search, until the sky began to lighten, but they still found nothing.
Yunwu was now at his limit due to excessive blood loss. Adding to that, he couldn’t find any clues and was growing increasingly frustrated.
Walking and walking, he eventually fainted.
“Cloud Five.”
His sudden fainting made the two brothers who were searching for Tanggu’s face change drastically. The two immediately rushed to Yun Wu’s side and checked his condition.
One of them said, “We can’t keep this up. He’s bleeding too much, and if it doesn’t stop, even a god couldn’t save him.”
They exchanged a glance and ultimately decided to first take Yun Wu away from this place, to find a doctor first. At least they needed to get his injuries under control.
……
Luckily, there’s a small town nearby with a doctor.
After the doctor treated Yunwu’s wounds and stopped the bleeding, he woke up soon after.
The first thing he thought of when he woke up was to continue looking for Mo Junyi.
At this moment, the two brothers of Xun Tanggu could no longer stand it.
Two people held him tightly by the shoulders, preventing him from moving.
One of them said helplessly, “Yunwu, calm down. Even if you keep looking, there won’t be any results, and you’ll even risk your own life.”
After he finished speaking, the other person also said, “Yunwu, don’t forget why our brothers sacrificed themselves. They gave up the chance to live so that we could come out and find the young master. They chose to die with those people.”
“Even if it weren’t for the prince, we’d still do this to have a chance for revenge!”
Besides, the prince and Dazhi being together, if not with absolute certainty, Dazhi would not have watched the prince jump into the river with it. Perhaps they have already reached a safe place now.
“If you really want to find the Crown Prince as quickly as possible, it’s better to tend to your injuries now. When they are more stable, we can set out again.”
<<>>
He knew full well that the three of them being able to escape from that yard alive was entirely due to their brothers sacrificing themselves to buy them time.
What he couldn’t accept was that they still hadn’t managed to save the young master. Now, the young master’s life or death was unknown, yet he could lie here and have a doctor treat his wounds.
Three people fell into a moment of silence. Yunwu didn’t struggle to get up again. He looked down at the wounds on his body and knew they were serious. If they hadn’t been brought here in time, he might have died from blood loss by now.
“Maybe I’ve figured things out. Yun Wu looked at the two of them, “I’m sorry for worrying you. I’m fine and won’t run around anymore. You should go take care of yourselves first, and then we can discuss what to do next.”
They looked at each other, even though Yunwu had already said so, they still felt uneasy, afraid that after both of them left, Yunwu would secretly go on the road alone.
So both of them turned to Yun Wu at the same time. One of them said, “Your injuries are rather serious, and you can’t be left alone. We don’t know if this place is safe or not, so it’s best we don’t leave each other’s sight.”
“”
Yunwu helplessly nodded. He knew, of course, that the two were worried about him, but he didn’t want to say anything.
Upon seeing Yun Wu’s agreement, one of them went out to call a doctor.
The local doctors didn’t want to get involved either. Seeing Yun Wu and the others injured like that, plus their clothes weren’t ordinary people’s, and there were swords by their sides, they dared not speak much or look too closely.
After coming in, she skillfully treated their wounds and gave them some instructions before preparing to leave.
But before he turned away, Yun Wu suddenly called out to him, “Doctor, how far is this place from the capital?”
Lang’s heart skipped a beat when he was suddenly called out, fearing that the people in front of him might silence him.
They are of unknown origin, and if they don’t want others to know they’re here tending to their wounds, they would probably kill him to silence him.
From the moment they walked in, his heart was pounding, afraid it would really be as he feared.
So now that he was suddenly called, his whole body trembled. But when he heard that the person really had something to ask him, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
