If left unattended, these people couldn't escape very far. Besides, the direction they fled was exactly where the scout cavalry were located.

So Chi Junlin stopped paying attention to them, treating them as a free military achievement for his subordinates, and let them escape.

She casually tossed away the earthen heads she was holding, wiped her hands, and returned to Yuan Zhaoji's side.

Yuan Zhaoji breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, as if she could finally put her mind at ease.

Then she looked at Chi Junlin with deep affection.

He opened his mouth, about to say "Commander-in-Chief".

As a result, her face turned pale, and she suddenly collapsed.

Upon seeing this, Chi Junlin's expression hardened, and he quickly stepped forward to support Yuan Zhaoji.

Then he used his internal energy to probe into her body.

After a brief examination, it was discovered that Yuan Zhaoji was perfectly healthy.

It's just that I've been mentally stressed for too long and haven't had a break in a long time. When my body relaxes, I just collapse.

Chi Junlin then helped her sit on a rock and used his inner strength to help her circulate her energy.

After a while, Wan Zhaoji seemed to have recovered her senses and nestled in Chi Junlin's arms, seemingly sobbing softly.

"Okay...it's alright now. You're safe..."

Chi Junlin gently stroked her back, indicating that she no longer needed to be afraid.

Wan Zhaoji nodded, leaning against Chi Junlin's chest, and whispered, "I was so scared... When they locked me in the coffin... it was so dark inside. I thought they were going to bury me alive... Later they put us in the mortuary, and there was no sound outside... It was really terrifying... I... I even thought I would never see you again..."

As Wan Zhaoji spoke, she looked up at Chi Junlin with tears in her eyes.

Chi Junlin looked on with heartache.

“Zhao Ji…”

Yuan Zhaoji shook her head again and hugged Chi Junlin tightly, as if afraid that they would lose each other again in the next second.

Chi Junlin looked at the tears on her face and gently wiped them away.

As she wiped away her tears, Wan Zhaoji's face flushed red again.

But this time she wasn't shy.

Instead, she offered her red lips and kissed Chi Junlin.

Chi Junlin could sense that Yuan Zhaoji was different now than she had been in the imperial city.

Compared to her conservative and shy self back then, she is now filled with affection for Chi Junlin.

It seems that after several months, she finally realized the true nature of her feelings.

A deep and unbreakable affection for the Crimson King's Landing.

After a deep kiss, Wan Zhaoji gazed lovingly at Chi Junlin.

Then he said, "Junlin... I finally understand... to me, you are the most important person."

Nothing else in this world matters, except for the fact that you're in my heart... that's the most important thing!

Chi Junlin was moved by her words and couldn't help but kiss her red lips.

The two lingered like that for a while, as if they wanted to kiss forever.

It wasn't until Wan Zhaoji remembered something important that she blushed and said, "No...don't kiss me yet...let's go save those guards first. They've escorted me all the way to the Southern Kingdom, and they've had a hard journey."

"Don't let them stay in the coffin any longer; it's quite cold in there."

Chi Junlin nodded, then helped Yuan Zhaoji to her feet.

At this moment, Yuan Zhaoji became serious again, looked at the corpse of the Eight Immortals of the Earth, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this guy. He seems more like a zombie than a human."

Chi Junlin nodded, then walked to the headless corpse of Tu Baxian and reached out to examine it.

She was also very curious about the skills of this Earth Immortal. This spirit writing and spirit summoning skill could actually fight her by relying entirely on the ability to summon spirits to possess her.

Given Chi Junlin's current martial arts skills, ordinary martial arts masters probably wouldn't even be qualified to withstand a single move from her.

After examining the corpses of the Eight Immortals of the Earth, Chi Junlin discovered something strange.

This guy had only been dead for a short time, yet his body was stiff and exuded an icy chill from the inside out.

It looked just like a zombie that had been dead for a long time.

But he was walking and speaking correctly just now.

Since Chi Junlin doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, it means that this guy deliberately trained himself to look like this ghost.

Therefore, it seems that while the spirit writing technique appears to be extremely powerful, its side effects are likely equally obvious.

The more you practice, the more you'll turn into a grotesque, inhuman creature like the Eight Immortals of the Earth.

Then Chi Junlin lost all interest in it.

At this moment, Chi Junlin ignored the corpses on the ground and walked into the mortuary.

At that moment, Wan Zhaoji turned to look into the distance and asked Chi Junlin, "Someone's coming from over there, carrying two swords. Is that person friend or foe?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin replied, "It must be Wenren Tianxia. He is my closest friend."

"Oh, then I'll go and greet him on behalf of the General."

Chi Junlin nodded, then left Yuan Zhaoji outside and went into the morgue of the Yizhuang.

However, Chi Junlin noticed that the coffins in the morgue had been slightly moved.

There was a coffin placed perfectly upright in the middle of the hall, far away from the other coffins.

She was a little confused, wondering if the coffin had just been placed here.

Chi Junlin frowned slightly, sensing that something seemed amiss.

He stepped forward, intending to open the coffin to see if any of the other guards who had been captured were inside.

Then, the coffin lid was pushed open.

Chi Junlin glanced inside.

That one glance left her stunned.

Because he clearly saw a woman lying inside.

She had just seen this face before.

Clearly, it's yet another Yuan Zhaoji!

Chapter 227 It's her again!?

The moment Chi Junlin saw Yuan Zhaoji in the coffin, he felt a buzzing sound in his head.

I felt a momentary sense of mental derangement.

She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.

But this one is clearly Yuan Zhaoji, exactly the same as the one outside.

Their appearances and clothing were exactly the same!

Is there something wrong with my brain?

What is going on here?

Chi Junlin felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively turned around and quickly walked outside.

I had just stepped outside when I almost bumped into someone.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Wenren Tianxia wielding two swords!

Seeing that Chi Junlin's face was pale and he seemed to be in serious trouble, Wenren Tianxia asked with concern, "What's wrong? Lin Jun? Are you injured?"

Chi Junlin didn't speak, but simply walked out of the mortuary and looked outside.

The severed heads of the Eight Immortals were visible not far ahead.

Apart from these, there wasn't a soul in sight outside.

Where is there any trace of Yuan Zhaoji now?

"Lin Jun, what happened?"

Wenren Tianxia asked again with an anxious expression.

Chi Junlin gritted his teeth, then turned over and grabbed Wenren Tianxia's hand, asking, "Where's the woman who was outside just now? The one who was talking to me here!"

"Have it?"

Wenren Tianxia was completely bewildered, and said to Chi Junlin, "I only saw you fighting with someone from afar, so I rushed over. I didn't see the woman you mentioned."

Chi Junlin stood there dumbfounded, wondering if he had lost his mind.

Wenren Tianxia looked worried and said, "Lin Jun, what happened? You look very unwell."

"No, that shouldn't be. Oh right, there's one more inside! There's another one inside..."

As Chi Junlin spoke, he hurriedly ran into the mortuary.

Seeing that Yuan Zhaoji's eyes were closed in the coffin, he quickly reached out to check.

Then she discovered that the woman inside the coffin, Yuan Zhaoji, still had a heartbeat and was breathing, but her acupoints were sealed, and she was in a coma.

Chi Junlin then breathed a long sigh of relief.

She quickly helped Yuan Zhaoji up and reached out to release her acupoints.

Upon seeing this, Wenren Tianxia knew that this was the person Chi Junlin was looking for, so he quickly helped Chi Junlin lift Yuan Zhaoji out of the coffin and place her on a chair outside.

Before long, Wan Zhaoji slowly woke up.

Upon seeing Chi Junlin, he opened his lips as if he wanted to say something.

Chi Junlin quickly placed his head near her lips, and heard Wan Zhaoji whisper weakly, "She...she is...Ye Qiancao..."

These three words struck Chi Junlin like a thunderbolt.

Chi Junlin suddenly understood many things.

Yes, it can only be her!

Only she possesses such lifelike disguise skills and such an indistinguishable ability to imitate.

Only she would play such a wicked prank!

After saying all this, Wan Zhaoji seemed completely exhausted and could no longer speak.

However, Chi Junlin's expression gradually softened, becoming calm and composed.

She held Wan Zhaoji in her arms and said softly, "I understand. You should rest now. You don't need to say anything more."

Yuan Zhaoji nodded gently and closed her eyes wearily.

Wenren Tianxia, ​​completely unaware of what had happened, scratched his head anxiously, saying, "What on earth is going on? I'm so worried!"

Chi Junlin glanced at Wenren Tianxia, ​​hesitated for a moment, and then said to her, "Let me ask you a question first."

"what?"

"What did you call me when I was teaching you to ride a horse at Dupang Ridge a few days ago, under the Sky-High Rock?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Wenren Tianxia blushed instantly and stammered, "Why...why are you saying this at a time like this?"

"Alright, tell me quickly."

Chi Junlin looked solemn, as if this was a very important issue.

Helpless, Wenren Tianxia could only lie down beside Chi Junlin, blushing, and whisper in her ear, "I...I'll call you Sister Lin..."

Upon hearing Wenren Tianxia's reply, Chi Junlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wenren Tianxia was definitely not an imposter by Ye Qiancao.

Then he said to Wenren Tianxia, ​​"Remember this, this is our secret code. Only when I call you Wenren Sister and you call me Sister Lin can we confirm that we are not imposters."

Seeing that she was speaking seriously, Wenren Tianxia nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note of it.

Afterwards, Chi Junlin told Wenren Tianxia what had just happened.

Hearing that it was Ye Qiancao causing trouble again, Wenren Tianxia couldn't help but glare angrily, "Why is it her again! It's always her, can't she learn to behave herself? We've already caught her, but she still wants to cause trouble! What exactly does she want to do!"
