I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2084 Restriction
"Let's eat!" General Nie Yun gave an order, and the soldiers cheered and rushed forward, vying to get their share of the delicious food.

At this moment, the whole military camp was filled with laughter and joy, and the soldiers sat together, enjoying this rare delicacy. The aroma seemed to dispel the haze of war and bring a moment of peace and warmth.

General Nie Yun stood aside, looking at the heartwarming scene before him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

As night fell, the bonfire in the military camp gradually went out, but the aroma lingered for a long time, as if leaving a deep impression in the hearts of every soldier. That night, they not only filled their stomachs, but also felt the obvious improvement of their strength from the soup.

"Your Majesty, I never thought that this pot of soup would have such great benefits." General Nie Yun exclaimed, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in his voice.

This young God King actually used a pot of soup to bring unexpected improvement to the entire army. This is very powerful.

He also drank a bowl of the soup Liu Jun cooked. Although he was already a mid-stage Half-Step Divine King, this bowl of soup made him feel an unprecedented improvement. This kind of improvement was extremely rare for a strong man like him. It was conceivable how much these soups improved the other soldiers.

"Of course I do. I don't have any other choice but to help them this way." Liu Jun replied.

His military command ability was not good, but he knew that on the battlefield, the strength of every soldier was crucial. He hoped that this pot of soup would bring more strength to the soldiers, so that they could be more courageous and fearless in the upcoming battle, kill more enemies, and most importantly, stay alive.

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and considerate of his subordinates. You are a role model for us," General Nie Yun replied.

"Okay, what's wrong with you today? Do you have something to ask me?" Liu Jun glared at General Nie Yun.

In the past, General Nie Yun was definitely an iron-blooded general, with no expression on his face except serious. Today, he was not used to all the praises he received.

General Nie Yun stood in front of Liu Jun, his expression solemn, with a hint of anxiety that was difficult to conceal between his brows. His hands were unconsciously clenched, his knuckles slightly white, and it was obvious that he was weighed down with heavy thoughts.

Liu Jun didn't say anything either, just looked at General Nie Yun quietly.

"Well, there is something..." Nie Yun finally spoke, his voice low and hesitant. He paused, as if he was considering his words, and then continued: "My daughter is not in good health. I have consulted a great doctor, but the doctor said that my daughter is under a ban and he can't do anything. I would like to ask you to go and see Miss Baoer."

Hearing this, Liu Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up, with a bit of blame in his tone: "Then why are you saying these useless things here? Why don't you just say this directly? What are you thinking?"

As he spoke, he gestured to Nie Yun to lead the way.

As for Xu Baoer, Liu Jun didn't even need to call her. As long as he had something delicious, Xu Baoer would automatically follow him.

As expected, as soon as Liu Jun stood up, Xu Baoer immediately followed him, holding a piece of cake that she had just taken a bite of, and said incoherently: "Wait for me, Brother Liu Jun, where are you going?"

"Go save people," Liu Jun replied casually.

The few of them walked from the main street to the alley, which became more and more remote. The houses on both sides of the street gradually became low and dilapidated, and the light in the alley became much dimmer.

If Liu Jun didn't know that General Nie Yun would not harm him, he would have thought that he was going to take him to a deserted place and kill him.

Even Xu Baoer couldn't help but tease, "General Nie Yun, the place you live in is really secluded. Are you afraid that someone will find you?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Yun showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He quickly looked at Liu Jun and explained, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the place where I live is a bit remote, so..." His voice became smaller and smaller, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Liu Jun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, I don't blame you. But, what happened to your daughter? Why was she restricted?"

Nie Yun sighed, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "I don't know the details. It's just that a few months ago she suddenly became weak and drowsy all day. I invited countless famous doctors, but they were all helpless. Finally, I found a great medical saint, and he told me that my daughter was restricted by someone, and this restriction is extremely rare, even he can't break it."

Liu Jun frowned upon hearing this and nodded thoughtfully: "Restriction...it seems this matter is not simple."

He turned his head and glanced at Xu Baoer, who was concentrating on eating pastries, seemingly not paying attention to anything around her. Liu Jun smiled helplessly, thinking that this girl was really careless.

The few of them continued forward and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard. The courtyard looked small and even a bit shabby, which was totally inconsistent with General Nie Yun's identity.

"Where is your General's Mansion?" Liu Jun asked.

"There are quite a lot of wounded soldiers. I have vacated my general's mansion for them to recuperate," General Nie Yun replied.

Liu Jun paused and sighed slightly. There are not many important officials like General Nie Yun now.

Nie Yun pushed open the door. The yard was silent, with only a few fallen leaves fluttering in the wind. He led Liu Jun and Xu Baoer into the house, which was simply furnished but very tidy.

A woman who was dressed rather simply and had absolutely nothing to do with luxury or wealth came up and bowed to Liu Jun.

"Your Majesty, this is my wife, Ying Baihua," Nie Yun introduced.

"Angang, hello," Liu Jun greeted. "Hello, Your Majesty," the woman bowed again.

"No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. Well, let's take a look at your daughter's condition first?" Liu Jun said.

The "good" woman walked to the bedside and gently opened the curtains, revealing a pale girl with her eyes closed. Her breathing was weak and seemed to stop at any time.

Liu Jun walked forward, looked at her carefully, then stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the girl's pulse. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and it was obvious that the situation was worse than he expected.

"How is it?" Nie Yun asked nervously, with a slight tremor in his voice.

Liu Jun withdrew his hand, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "She is indeed under a restriction, and this restriction is extremely vicious. It not only blocks her vitality, but also continuously devours her soul. If it is not lifted, I am afraid she will not survive for more than three days."

Upon hearing this, Nie Yun's face turned pale instantly, his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

The woman next to him knelt down, tightly grasping Liu Jun's sleeve, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, please save her! I only have this one daughter, nothing can happen to her!"

Liu Jun helped the woman up, patted Nie Yun on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, things are not irreversible yet. Since the great doctor can't do anything, we have to find another way."

He turned to look at Xu Baoer, who was squatting in the corner, studying a small insect intently, and seemed to be oblivious to everything around her.

"Baoer, stop playing and come and take a look." Liu Jun shouted helplessly.

Xu Baoer then raised her head, blinked her eyes, and walked over slowly. She glanced at the girl on the bed, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she stretched out her hand and gently pressed it on the girl's forehead.

After a moment, Xu Baoer frowned and whispered, "This restriction... is a little familiar."

When Liu Jun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Have you seen it?"

Xu Baoer nodded, but then shook her head: "I can't really put it into words, I just feel a little familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where it is for the moment."

Liu Jun sighed, thinking that this girl always failed at critical moments. He turned to Nie Yun and said, "General Nie, don't worry, we will find a way. However, this matter may not be that simple, and there may be some unknown forces involved behind it. Have you offended anyone recently? Or, has anyone suspicious approached your daughter?"

Nie Yun pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I have been keeping a low profile these years and rarely make enemies with others. As for the suspicious person...my daughter rarely goes out and doesn't come into contact with many people. I really can't think of anyone who would harm her."

Liu Jun nodded, with a vague guess in his mind. He turned to Xu Baoer and said, "Baoer, think about it carefully. What is this restriction? If you really can't remember, we have to find another way."

Xu Baoer frowned and tried to recall. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she seemed to remember something: "That's right! I remember it! This kind of restriction seems to be... something from the Zhen Sect. They have a restriction hall that specializes in studying this kind of harmful restriction!"

Although Liu Jun was good at battle formations and had some understanding of restrictions, it was only an understanding. He did not understand restrictions like this one, let alone how to break them.

The key point is that this is a human life. Even if he is brave, he cannot take someone else's life to try. There is no chance for trial and error.

Liu Jun's expression instantly turned serious when he heard this: "The restriction of the Array Sect? What is the name of this restriction? Do you know it?"

Xu Baoer thought for a moment, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "I remember that this kind of restriction seems to be called the Soul Shattering Restriction. It is very difficult to deal with. If you make a mistake when releasing the restriction, the person will be dead, and it may also backfire on the person who released the restriction."

Liu Jun took a deep breath, turned to Nie Yun and said, "General Nie, this matter may be more complicated than we expected. But don't worry, since we have agreed to help, we will do our best. However, the next action may be a little dangerous, you have to be mentally prepared."

Nie Yun nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "As long as it can save my daughter, I am willing to do anything."

Liu Jun patted his shoulder, then turned to Xu Baoer and said, "Baoer, we have to act quickly. Time waits for no one. If we delay any further, she may not be able to hold on."

Xu Baoer nodded, and put away her playful expression, a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "Okay, let's go now."

Several people hurriedly left the courtyard and headed towards the dungeon of the city lord's mansion. Along the way, Liu Jun and Xu Baoer did not speak again, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn. Nie Yun followed behind, feeling anxious and uneasy, but he knew that he could only trust them now.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on both sides of the street quickly receded. Liu Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and it was obvious that he had already thought of a plan.

After arriving at the dungeon, Liu Jun and his companions went straight to the cell where the three elders of the Zhen Sect were imprisoned.

The dungeon was dark and damp, with the air filled with the smell of mold and rust. The mottled marks on the walls seemed to tell the tragic fate of countless prisoners. The dim torches cast swaying shadows on the walls, adding a bit of gloom to the entire space.

Zhang Jin and the man and woman had been locked up in this dungeon for some time. Their faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed exhaustion and despair. Although it couldn't be said that life was worse than death, their days were miserable.

Zhang Jin's hair was messily scattered on his shoulders, and his once neat clothes were now tattered, with stains all over the cuffs and collar. The woman's once pretty face now looked pale and weak, and her eyes had lost their former brilliance. The man lowered his head, his hands were bound by iron chains, and blood marks were worn out on his wrists.

All three of them had been fed poison by Wu Rendi. They no longer had the high-spirited and domineering look they had on the first day they met. It was as if all their pride and dignity had been swallowed up by the darkness of the dungeon.
