Chapter 2375 The Swaying Huainan Palace

"My friend, you've been waiting for a long time!"

As the escaping nine-petal flower shattered and turned into purple air, the battle came to an end.

Zhang Xuezhou only felt endless purple energy sweeping through his body, bringing energy to repair and propel his body upward.

But he hadn't twisted his body and swayed for a few times when he felt a distortion in front of his eyes. A chair appeared in the darkness, and a familiar face also came into view.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help feeling a little scared for a moment.

Obviously, the extraterritorial demon is not omnipotent and cannot take over from him in the competition of martial arts.

He had previously wanted to take a gamble and after traveling through time, he would continue the battle through the extraterritorial demon, but he never expected that the other party could only sit on the tree chair and wait, and did not intervene.

It was not until the war subsided that the two returned to normal exchange.

"The risk of provoking the Zodiac Immortal is a bit high, so don't die after you replace me!"

Zhang Xuezhou was expressing his opinion in a state of mental confusion.

Trapped in this transformation, he couldn't turn back, and this didn't seem to be a place where the demon from outside the realm could have his say.

When their faces touched, something mysterious happened.

In the constant distortion, Zhang Xuezhou's face changed and he was also transformed into a new identity.

He looked back, only to find that he had disappeared along the way he came. There was darkness behind him, and only the guiding light was ahead.

This made him shake his head and he also stepped towards the light.

No matter how urgent the matter is, even if a knife is at his neck, Zhang Xuezhou has to put it down.

He thought about everything that had happened to him in the Huainan Palace, and felt that the danger was no less than facing Huang Daoxian. He didn't know what these people in the Huainan Palace would do to him.

"I am an official of the imperial court. They shouldn't kill me. Maybe they will leave a spell mark in my body. My level of avoiding spells is not low. I don't know..."

He was thinking about all kinds of things and opened his eyes in the light.

Zhang Xuezhou frowned as he inhaled the faint scent of camellia.

He was just about to think that Princess Liu Ling had resorted to some trick again when he sniffed and felt the scent of camellia coming from beside him.

"woman?"

When he tilted his head, Zhang Xuezhou felt soft hair brushing against his face. Beside him was a woman wearing only a light gauze, lying on her side like a kitten.

Some scenarios of frame-up quickly flashed through his mind, and he quickly raised his head.

"Master Dongfang, you are finally awake!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou could pay attention to the situation around him, he saw Li Shang with long gray hair sitting beside the bed. He breathed a sigh of relief, but there seemed to be some fear on his face.

"Why, are you afraid that I will die in the palace?"

Zhang Xuezhou replied unhappily.

No matter how good his temper was or how fast he switched roles, Zhang Xuezhou was the one who had just plucked the nine-petal flower to death. Not only was his tone inappropriate, but he also looked at Li Shang with some unkindness.

"What did you do to me?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

"Don't worry, Master Dongfang. You just took too much nourishment during the banquet, and your body is feeling a little depressed right now!"

Li Shang quickly replied to Zhang Xuezhou.

He called out to the outside of the wing room, and Zhang Xuezhou saw the wing room door open, revealing the faces of Zhang Zhong, You Rongshi and others outside the door. "He's fine," Li Shang called out, "I'll check on Lord Dongfang again, don't worry, Lord Dongfang is fine!"

"Oh?"

If he was alone in the Huainan Palace, Zhang Xuezhou felt that some trouble would probably occur, but Zhang Chong and others had already arrived at the Huainan Palace, which only proved that his parents had asked someone to come forward, and it was also very likely that the Huainan Palace would be embarrassed.

Either the new emperor, who used the pseudonym Pingyang Hou, sent someone to come forward, or it was the God Zhenyuan who helped. There is no other possibility.

He replied to Li Shang softly, and his mood calmed down a lot after the battle.

"Lord Dongfang, I heard that you had a craniotomy in the past. Has your body been affected for a long time and developed any other special symptoms?" Li Shang asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"This, ah, this..."

Li Shang stood up, walked back and forth twice, and sighed heavily again.

He previously believed that Zhang Xuezhou had undergone a skull surgery, which caused him to suffer from drowsiness and he needed to fall asleep from time to time to relieve himself.

But after Li Shang examined Zhang Xuezhou's body, he felt that this was not the case.

Zhang Xuezhou's body was filled with an unusual amount of qi and blood, as if he had taken an overdose of medicine. Every part of his body was filled with enormous qi and blood power.

But as far as Jinchang knew, Zhang Xuezhou was practicing magic rather than martial arts, and his cultivation had even reached the realm of supernatural powers.

This conflict between reality and description also prompted Li Shang to check constantly.

After checking, Li Shang felt that the magic power in Zhang Xuezhou's body had undergone extremely incredible changes.

Either the acupoints were blocked or stagnant and difficult to circulate, the magic power in Zhang Xuezhou's body seemed as stubborn as a rusty iron plate, almost difficult to move.

Normally, this situation is not uncommon. Li Shang has diagnosed some monks who have gone astray. The magic power in these monks' bodies has stagnated to the point that it is difficult to move, or it has caused damage to their acupoints, thus making them useless.

But what is strange about Zhang Xuezhou's situation is that these magical powers seem to have undergone some kind of transformation, giving his body the ability to resist external impacts.

Zhang Xuezhou seemed to be possessed, but to an incredible degree, where the magical power in his body was able to resist the erosion of external forces.

This was the only cultivator Li Shang had seen over the years who had gone astray and not suffered a bad end.

Ordinary cultivators don’t have such a good fate, but Zhang Xuezhou’s luck is a bit uncanny, which is another matter.

But no matter whether Zhang Xuezhou's fate was good or bad, and no matter how much ability Zhang Xuezhou still had, the other party's cultivation was abolished in the Huainan Palace, which could easily lead to unpredictable consequences.

Zuo Wu and the others' murderous intent disappeared and then resurfaced, and they thought about destroying the body or fabricating the story of Zhang Xuezhou's death from excessive drinking.

But after the dinner, everyone sent a letter to Zhang's house, and things became awkward. It was more difficult to destroy the body.

The fake death from excessive drinking was not a simple matter of forcing someone to drink. Leaving Zhang Xuezhou's body intact would have to avoid being inspected, or at least eliminate all traces of Liu Ling's magic.

Under normal circumstances, it is not difficult to remove the trigger of "Yuzhongshao", but it becomes difficult when Zhang Xuezhou is "possessed". Even Li Shang is so worried that his hair turns white. He has used many methods to try to avoid being involved in the subsequent investigation by the Jingzhao Yinfu.

In short, the attitude of the Huainan Palace towards Zhang Xuezhou was extremely wavering.

It was not until a Taoist priest visited the Huainan Palace eight days ago and a fight between cultivators broke out after just a few words that the attitude of the Huainan Palace finally stabilized.

In addition to Zhang Xuezhou who was lying here, there were several other people lying on the hospital beds.

"This is the way to treat your physical illness, and the effect of the treatment is visible to the naked eye!"

Many distracting thoughts emerged in Li Shang's mind. Seeing Zhang Xuezhou asking and then pointing to the woman pretending to be asleep beside him for an explanation, Li Shang couldn't help but bite the bullet and pull.
