Among them, the fastest were naturally Qi Xuanxuan, Little Fatty, and their panions.
Before setting off, they had received advice from Crown Prince Mo and others, knowing they might face an ambush by the Heavenly Fate on this journey. Even in the recent chaos, everyone remained on high alert.
Upon hearing Holy Son Miyan's warning, they swiftly reacted. Finding cover behind a large rock was their first step, and promptly organizing a counterattack marked the second, already achieved.
Holy Son Miyan turned around, witnessing Little Fatty and pany using their spiritual energy for a long-range counterattack against the archers concealed on the rock walls on both sides of the river. He couldn't help but inwardly sigh.
Their response speed surpassed that of well-trained imperial guards.
Holy Son Miyan pondered on this unexpected development.
However, his meaningful glance at Lu Yu, Hua Tao, and the others showed they were already efficiently managing the situation.
Without exception, many ining arrows were deftly deflected by the defensive barrier they formed.
This Sikong Planet team indeed possessed some skills.
Though their cultivation levels might not be the highest among the group, their impressive teamwork and synchronization made up for it.
The Holy Son gestured to a few imperial guards, instructing them to quickly take position at one end of the rock and initiate a counterattack.
After a few rounds of arrows, a handful on their side sustained injuries.
Dou Fengmian and Dou Fenghua worked on tending to the wounded at the rear. When they noticed Mu Xingchen assisting Mu Rouxuan, they exchanged a bitter smile and sighed.
"Brother Mu, Maiden Mu's injuries are worsening. If we don't find a way to treat her, the power of the thunder spirit in her body will bee increasingly violent. Eventually, it will expand from the inside, causing irreparable harm. There's no cure for it!"
Mu Xingchen was acutely aware of Mu Rouxuan's dire situation, but felt powerless in the face of her stubbornness.
Mu Rouxuan proved to be more obstinate than anyone else. If she decided she didn't want Qiaoqiao's help, she wouldn't allow Qiaoqiao to lay a finger on her.
However, given the current circumstances…
Who else, apart from Qiaoqiao, could provide the prehensive healing that Mu Rouxuan needed?
"Big Bro, don't even think about knocking me out and throwing me to that woman for treatment." Mu Rouxuan panted heavily, asserting, "I-I have a way to save myself. I don't need that woman's help at all."
Mu Xingchen found her stubbornness infuriating. He couldn't help but break loose and shout in frustration, "What way do you have to save yourself? You're already injured to this extent? Don't you care about your dantian's Spirit Ruins Realm anymore?"
Was she willing to jeopardize her own Spirit Ruin Realm?
The Spiritual Ruin Realm that he had diligently cultivated for so many years—was she willing to discard it so easily?
How could Rouxuan contemplate such a foolish decision?
Mu Rouxuan bit her pale lips tightly and curled up, trembling. "Big Bro, I-I'll rest for a while. I'll get better soon."
Mu Xingchen sighed deeply and was about to leave.
Softly, Mu Rouxuan implored, "B-Big Bro, y-you help me sit over there. Don't leave me here. The shadow will affect Young Sir Dou and the others' treatment."
With a heavy sigh, Mu Xingchen reached out to assist Mu Rouxuan to her desired spot.
