Chapter 637: Indifferent to Life and Death
Wusun Palace.

In the court, Da Kunmi sat in the center, with civil and military officials on both sides.

The fat old man looked pale and sat in the recliner.

Hearing that Qi Xiang and others had just rushed back from Tianguan, and that Chen Tang's safety and the war in Liangzhou were at stake, he had no time to recuperate and quickly ordered people to carry him to the court.

Just now, Prime Minister Qi has given a brief account of the battle at Tianguan.

"Master Qi, are you saying that the Demon Lord alone defeated the entire barbarian army?"

"Even with elephant soldiers and the Bull Demon Heavy Cavalry, they couldn't stop him?"

"How could it be possible for one person to..."

There was an uproar in the court!
Qi Xiang said in a deep voice: "I dare not conceal anything about this matter. Although the demon king is young, he is indeed capable of defeating ten thousand enemies! To be honest, I saw it with my own eyes at the time, and the shock I felt was much stronger than you."

Some of the accompanying generals also nodded.

"It seems that once the barbarian army's food and grass are cut off, there is hope that the crisis in Liangzhou will be resolved."

"Not necessarily. I heard that the Barbarian Army's Crazy Lion Cavalry marched straight in, conquered several cities in a row, and are now at the gates of Liangzhou. If the Barbarian Army commander intends to burn his boats and capture Liangzhou in one go, there will be no problem of food shortage."

"No matter what, our Wusun country was lucky enough to escape this disaster and was not involved."

A group of officials were talking about it.

The fat old man frowned and looked worried.

He was a little worried about Chen Tang.

The fat old man asked, "You just said that Bashi Chifeng has arrived at Tianguan?"

Speaking of this, Qi Xiang was somewhat emotional and said, "The fight between the two was truly dangerous. The Demon Lord nearly killed Tyrant Lion Chifeng with one strike. Unfortunately, he missed by a hair's breadth."

“At first, the tyrant lion Chifeng was a little hesitant, thinking that there were some masters lying in ambush nearby. Later, when he realized that the Demon Lord was the only one there, he showed his true abilities.”

"The Demon Lord was defeated and has already fled towards Tianshan Mountain. He is probably in great danger."

The fat old man snorted coldly and said, "His mount is a Pegasus, an exotic beast. Even if he is defeated, he can still escape."

"Senior Feng, I saw it clearly at the scene."

Qi Xiang said: "The mount of the Overlord Lion Chifeng is also a rare divine horse in the world. The Demon Lord's Pegasus can't get rid of it at all."

"The Barbarian Army suffered heavy losses. Tyrant Lion Chifeng will never let this man go. If the Demon Lord really escaped, he would have returned long ago. Until now, there has been no news from him. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the court.

Then, a tall figure strode in from outside, looking around with fierce eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a torch, and he exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look at him directly!

"Demon Lord, you..."

Prime Minister Qi opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ha ha!"

The fat old man laughed loudly, in a very good mood, and said: "I knew you were lucky and it wouldn't be so easy to die."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "Not only did he not die, he also brought back the Tianshan Bodhi."

"Are you serious?"

The fat old man glared with his eyes wide open, his voice trembling a little.

Before this, he really didn't want Chen Tang to take the risk and go to Tianshan Mountain to pick the Tianshan Bodhi.

But if the Tianshan Bodhi has been brought back, it means that there is hope for his Dantian to be repaired and healed. How can he not be excited?
Chen Tang came to the fat old man, took out a Tianshan Blood Bodhi and handed it to him.

"This is……"

The fat old man took it, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "It is indeed Tianshan Bodhi, but it seems to have changed. What's going on? Did you see the golden-winged Dapeng in Tianshan? Did you encounter any danger?"

"Ba Shi Chi Feng was chasing you, how did you get rid of him?"

The fat old man took it, but didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he was quite concerned about Chen Tang's condition.

"It's a long story."

Chen Tang thought of the scene on the top of Tianshan Mountain, sighed softly, and said: "This Bodhi should be more effective than the Tianshan Bodhi."

There were many people around, and he was worried that the body of the Golden Winged Dapeng would be disturbed on Tianshan Mountain, so he did not say it clearly. He planned to tell the fat old man about it when he had the chance in the future.

"Oh?"

The fat old man looked at the blood bodhi in his hand, his heart moved, and he vaguely thought of something.

The mutation of Tianshan Bodhi is probably due to the absorption of blood.

The only life on the top of Tianshan Mountain is probably the golden-winged Roc.

If this strange beast was still alive, Chen Tang would most likely not be able to obtain the Tianshan Blood Bodhi.

In addition, from the regret that Chen Tang showed on his face just now, the fat old man had already guessed what was going on.

"Eat it quickly and try the effect."

Chen Tang urged.

The fat old man nodded, picked up the blood bodhi, and was about to put it in his mouth, but suddenly remembered something and slowly put it down.

"Bring this blood bodhi to him, he can use it!"

The fat old man handed the blood bodhi to Chen Tang again and said in a deep voice.

The fat old man didn't say who this 'he' was, but Chen Tang could tell.

Somehow, Chen Tang felt a lump in his throat and was moved.

This blood bodhi can not only repair the dantian, but also save lives for the fat old man!

If the injury continues, he won't live long at his age.

But even so, the fat old man still gave the blood bodhi to Emperor Wu without any hesitation.

Chen Tang sniffed and smiled casually, "Old man, what kind of relationship do you have with him? You are willing to give him this."

"We're not close friends. I admire him very much in my heart, but I've only seen him from a distance a few times before."

The fat old man chuckled and said, "To be honest, it was a few years ago that I first had the chance to talk to him."

Chen Tang was stunned.

He originally thought that the fat old man and Emperor Wu were old acquaintances, or even friends of life and death.

But unexpectedly, the two of them only knew each other's name and had no friendship at all.

But even so, the fat old man still wanted to give the Blood Bodhi to Emperor Wu.

Chen Tang hesitated and said, "Old man, you..."

The fat old man waved his hands, his expression determined, and said: "I know what you are going to say. There is no need to persuade me about this matter. My life does not matter. Even if I survive, it will be meaningless. My ability is limited."

"His life is more important than anything else. If I can see him come back to life and shock the world, I will have no regrets in my life."

Chen Tang was silent.

The fat old man patted Chen Tang on the shoulder and said casually: "Don't be sad for me. At my age, I have long been indifferent to life and death."

Chen Tang muttered quietly: "But, I have two of these blood bodhisattvas."

"..."

The fat old man glared at Chen Tang unhappily, gritting his teeth.

"You kid are playing tricks on me!"

"I wanted to say it just now, but you stopped me."

"You won't interrupt me?"

"I saw that you were too devoted and sincere, and I couldn't bear it..."

"Here you go! You're so talkative!"

The fat old man snatched the blood bodhi from Chen Tang's hand, threw it directly into his mouth, and chewed it angrily.
