After a brief moment of thought, Li Moxuan turned around and, to Lü Xiangong's astonishment, hoisted her onto his shoulder and headed into the military camp.

"What are you doing?! Put me down right now!"

Lu Xiangong's face turned bright red, filled with shame and indignation. Being carried in front of so many people was too humiliating...

"Don't move around. It's not like I'm carrying you in a princess carry. And if I carry you on my back, it will inevitably touch your wound. I can only carry you. Don't worry, it will be quick!"

After Li Moxuan finished speaking, he walked towards the main military tent. Once he got there, he should be able to find the accompanying military doctor, Sun Xinzhao.

Throughout the journey, Lü Xiangong kept his eyes tightly closed, feeling as if countless eyes were watching him, his face turning as red as if it were dripping blood.

Fortunately, Li Moxuan arrived at the central command tent soon, and the first thing that reached Lü Xiangong's ears was Yang Qianhong's voice.

"The Celestial Palace!"

She rushed to Li Moxuan, looking worriedly at Lü Xiangong, who was lying motionless on his shoulder. "What happened to Xiangong?"

"I'm fine..."

Lu Xiangong blushed and responded.

With Yang Qianhong's help, Li Moxuan put Lü Xiangong down. "I've already treated her injuries. She just needs to recuperate for a while..."

"it is good!"

Yang Qianhong, supporting the bowed-headed Lü Xiangong, instructed the two soldiers outside the main tent, "You two go and get a stretcher from Doctor Sun!"

"Yes!"

After handing Lü Xiangong over to Yang Qianhong, Li Moxuan asked, "Where are Xi Chen and the others?"

He planned to discuss with them the matter of going to Tianxi Mountain to besiege Ying Chengfeng.

Yang Qianhong pointed to the central command tent behind her, "They're inside..."

"Then the Celestial Palace is entrusted to you!"

"Okay, leave the rest to me..."

Yang Qianhong, supporting Lü Xiangong, turned to look at her and noticed her flushed face. She was a little surprised. "Xiangong, what happened to your face?"

"It's okay, it's hot..."

Hot?

But the weather isn't hot at all!

Yang Qianhong's mind started to wander. Why not try to learn from Shui'er herself?

Over here, Li Moxuan has found Yuan Xichen, and besides him, there is also Huo Jiu'an, who is wrapped in bandages.

"Jiu'an, are you alright now?"

Huo Jiu'an, holding a cup of tea, waved his hand, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. But Mo Xuan, you went on another secret mission?"

"Um……"

Li Moxuan stepped forward, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "I've rescued Lü Xiangong, so we have nothing to worry about now..."

"Cough cough..."

Huo Jiu'an choked and coughed up a mouthful of tea. He didn't expect Li Moxuan to be so efficient. He had just been discussing with Yuan Xichen how to save Lü Xiangong!

So Yuan Xichen was just playing along, he actually knew all along that Li Moxuan had already set off to rescue Lü Xiangong...

Sensing Huo Jiu's rather resentful gaze, Yuan Xichen coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Mo Xuan, have you found any trace of Ying Chengfeng?"

"No, but I've turned Xuanma to her side. According to her information, Ying Chengfeng should be staying at Tianxi Mountain for the foreseeable future..."

"Xuanma?"

Yuan Xichen hesitated for a moment, "Is she trustworthy?"

"It should be believable..."

Li Moxuan put down his teacup. "Xichen, take control of the entire Qunying Hall area as soon as possible. Suspend operations until tonight, allow the army to rest and recuperate, and then surround Tianxi Mountain!"

"This time, apart from some essential personnel remaining in Nandou Street and the troops needed to control the current area, all top-tier combat forces have been deployed!"

"Furthermore, Xihe and I will not participate in this operation. I will work with her to find a way to break Ying Chengfeng's immortality, while the important task of holding him off will be entrusted to you!"

Yuan Xichen nodded. "We'll do our best... By the way, shall we take you to find Miss Xihe?"

"No need, I know where she is..."

Chapter 243: Farewell to the Tree God

Military barracks kitchen.

"Hey, have you almost finished eating?"

When Li Moxuan arrived, he saw Xihe wolfing down her food at the dining table, with a large pile of empty plates and dishes already stacked in front of her.

Li Moxuan waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers took their leave. "I heard you ate half an army's entire day's worth of rations in one meal?"

"No, that's not true..."

Xihe put down the bowl in her hand, counted on her fingers and thought for a moment, "At most, it's only enough for half a day's food..."

That's it?

Li Moxuan glanced at Xihe speechlessly. This girl had eaten so much, but she didn't seem to gain any weight at all. Her stomach was a bottomless pit!

He walked over to Xihe, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Let's get down to business. How's the matter of contacting the Tree God for me that I asked you to do last time? You haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Of course not, I've already asked him, and he agreed to see you, I just forgot to tell you..."

Li Moxuan: "..."

"Forget it, let's not eat anymore. I need to get ready for business. We'll eat when we get back!"

Li Moxuan pulled Xihe to her feet. "Didn't he assign you a task? It's time for us to do it!"

"All right……"

Xihe reluctantly bid farewell to the remaining food on the table, then was pulled away by Li Moxuan, "Come on, take me to see the Tree God!"

"Aren't you going to just leave like this without telling anyone else?"

"Everything's arranged, let's go!"

"Oh……"

Xihe took Li Moxuan's hand and they performed a spatial jump. When the two opened their eyes again, they were already in the mysterious space of the Tree God.

"You've finally arrived..."

The tree spirit reached out towards the wooden table and chairs behind it, "The flow of time here is different from outside, we have plenty of time to talk..."

"No need, business is more important..."

Li Moxuan asked directly and bluntly, "When did Ying Chengfeng modify the wordless book?"

"I'll tell Jin Lingzi the specific time. I originally wanted to keep you here a little longer, but I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry, so I won't keep you any longer..."

The Tree God picked up his tea and was about to take a sip when he suddenly heard Li Moxuan's question, "What would happen if I modified the Book of No Words and gained immortality?"

"They will be punished by heaven..."

The Tree God answered without hesitation: "If the act of extending lifespan exceeds the limits of destiny, it will inevitably lead to serious consequences. For example, Ying Chengfeng encountered your group of people who came to end his life!"

"If you really do that, even if you have a strong destiny, you will eventually face retribution; it's only a matter of time..."

Li Moxuan observed the tree god and confirmed that it was not joking, then asked, "What if one obtains immortality in the Great Thousand Worlds?"

"The vast world, it's been so long since I've heard that term..."

The tree god sighed and added, "There is no immortality in the vast world; only upon becoming a god can one live as long as the heavens..."

Will they be punished by heaven?

"Of course not..."

The Tree God explained the difference between the two situations to Li Moxuan. In layman's terms, the proper way is to gradually become a god from the Great Thousand Worlds and gain infinite lifespan.

Obtaining longevity and a form of immortality by modifying the wordless book is a heretical and evil practice, not recognized by the world, and therefore incurs divine retribution.

The Tree God's gaze swept back and forth over Li Moxuan. "Young man, you must consider things carefully before you act. If you make a mistake, things may develop in the opposite direction."

"Yes, I'll remember that..."

Li Moxuan turned around, already having made up his mind. "Xihe, let's go!"

Goodbye, old friend!

Xihe waved to the tree god, and then disappeared into space and time with Li Moxuan.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiangong was sent to Elder Sun's place, and Bai Shui'er and Yang Luoqi rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Celestial Palace, how are you?"

"It's not too bad..."

Sun Xinzhao answered first, packing up his medical tools as he said, "Her wound has already been treated; she just needs some time to recover!"

He took out several doses of medicine and placed them in front of Yang Qianhong. "Commander Yang, these are medicines. Please change her dressings every day!"

"Okay, thank you!"

After Old Master Sun left, only Lü Xiangong, Yang Qianhong, and Bai Shui'er and Yang Luoqi, who had just arrived, remained.

Looking at her tall figure, which was heavily bandaged, Bai Shui'er asked, "Immortal Palace, does it hurt?"

Lu Xiangong nodded, "A little..."

"Immortal Palace, I didn't expect Li Moxuan to rescue you from those guys so quickly..."

Despite being wrapped in numerous bandages, Yang Luoqi remained energetic and unaffected, as if nothing had happened...

"I was originally planning to go find where those guys were hiding, but I didn't expect Li Moxuan to find you all by himself and rescue you so quickly..."

While Yang Luoqi was chatting with Lü Xiangong, Yang Qianhong used the excuse of going to the toilet together to pull Bai Shuier out.

After listening to Yang Qianhong recount the strange events at Lüxian Palace, Bai Shui'er stroked her chin and looked at Yang Qianhong with a suspicious expression.

"Qian Hong, according to you, you don't mean to develop the Immortal Palace into your own ally, do you?"
