After interrogating the only surviving demon cultivator in Yuanying County, Fu Shuangni seemed to have recalled something.

As she frowned, she asked the state official beside her, “Wait a moment, is there a Communication Talisman from the state government responding to our request for help?”

Fu Shuangni remembered that it was not the first time she had sent a request for help to the state government.

Elder Hei, who was in charge of protecting her, had to use a secret technique to stall the Golden Core stage demon that had suddenly appeared.

He had no choice but to use a secret technique to fight the Golden Core stage demon.

In the end, the Golden Core stage demon was distracted, and they bought enough time for the Spirit Sword Sect’s experts arrived.

However, Elder Hei also lost his life because of the backlash from the secret technique.

Not even a corpse was left behind.

From then on, the task of protecting Fu Shuangni was given to the Golden Core puppet, the ‘Li Feiyu’ in Fu Shuangni’s eyes.

Of course.

If it was not for Fu Shuangni and the others writing Blood Oaths…

She would not be able to have such a bodyguard.

Fu Shuangni was very clear that the protection she obtained through hiring could not last long.

Lord Li Feiyu had already told her that he would only protect her for a month.

A month later…

What should she do?

She could not rely on her few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to clear out the demon cultivators of Sacred Heart Palace, right?

There was no problem for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators to guard the county, but clearing out the demon cultivators was a bit too difficult.

There could even be a Golden Core demon cultivator in Yuanying County.

Who knows if they would meet some terrifying demon in the future?!

Hence.

Fu Shuangni needed the strength of the Great Yan Dynasty.

She needed the support of the state capital.

Logically speaking, the Immortal cultivators sent by the state capital were at least at the Golden Core stage. Even if they did not take a flying ship over, they should have arrived by themselves, right?

Why…

Why have they not arrived yet?

Fu Shuangni did not understand.

She was slightly confused.

After Fu Shuangni’s reminder, this state government official suddenly recalled. He said with sudden realization, “It seems so… Your Highness, the state government didn’t give us any reply, and their support hasn’t arrived yet.”

He asked weakly, “Your Highness, should we use another Communication Talisman and send another message for help?”

Fu Shuangni frowned and said, “Let’s wait for tomorrow!”

“Tomorrow, if the people from the provincial government are still missing, then use another Communication Talisman. This time, do not send a message to the provincial government.”

The prefecture capital official was stunned, “Your Highness, what do you mean?”

Fu Shuangni said calmly, “Send a message to the Imperial City. Ask the Great Yan Dynasty for help!”

The prefecture capital official’s heart trembled.

Go past the prefecture capital…

Ask for help from the Imperial City?

Hiss!

Did this mean that the Princess did not trust the people from the prefecture capital?

That’s right.

The many messages for help did not receive a proper reply.

It was definitely not simple. There might even be some taboo things involved.

Thinking of this, the governor hurriedly shook his head.

This kind of thing was not something he could think of.

Someone like him did not have the right to make conspiracy theories.

He could only tie himself tightly to the Princess’s chariot right now, because once something happened to the Princess, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being implicated.

He wanted the Princess to live well more than anyone else, so that he could live well as well.

…

Qinghe County.

Evening.

“Eh?”

After returning to Qinghe County, Shu Zhihua had just drunk a mouthful of spirit wine, The fragrance of wine was overflowing when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her pair of willow-like eyebrows lightly raised. “This familiar aura, isn’t it the aura of that Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden?”

Shu Zhihua’s slightly tipsy and exquisite face was slightly surprised. She did not expect that her divine sense would casually sweep over.

She actually discovered the Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden in this place, Qinghe County.

It was Bai Yi who told her that the other party was the Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden.

When Shu Zhihua returned to the courtyard, she was even more surprised to find that the Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden’s aura actually appeared not far from the courtyard.

However, that direction had long been empty.

It also meant that the other party had stopped there, and that position seemed to be just enough to secretly observe the inside of the courtyard.

With doubtful thoughts, Shu Zhihua bypassed several illusory arrays in the courtyard and entered.

She saw Bai Yi.

She took the initiative to say, “Disciple, if I didn’t guess wrongly, you seem to have been targeted by that Spirit Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden. Could it be that you have done something that angered the Heavens? Why is the dignified Holy Maiden of an Immortal cultivation sect staring at you outside for half a day?”

Shu Zhihua’s tone was a bit puzzled, but it also carried a bit of ridicule.

Bai Yi said, “I know.”

He was three small stages higher than Chen Qianxue, so how could Bai Yi not realize that he had been targeted?

It was just that he did not pay attention to it.

Shu Zhihua teased, “Could it be that when her Master wasn’t around, you were fooling around outside and got into trouble? I still don’t know what she looks like. Disciple, do you have good taste?”

Bai Yi rolled his eyes.

Shu Zhihua, who had been drinking, had always been so random. Fortunately, he was already used to it.

“Hmm?”

At this time…

Shu Zhihua suddenly noticed something. Her beautiful eyes instantly fell on Bai Yi’s body. Her eyes widened a little, and she looked a little tipsy. She found it quite unbelievable. “Your cultivation base has broken through? Also… you directly crossed three small stages?!”
