32 Despair (1/2)
Without understanding the reason for that action, Zao Tian lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, close by, a figure walked with expression of determination and apprehension in his beautiful face. This person did the same route he had been doing, incessantly, every day. This person was Ming Xue.
Ming Xue was going to try to visit Zao Tian. Despite being barred every day, Ming Xue never gave up and always came back. This time she carried a basket of fruit and food to deliver to Zao Tian.
As Ming Xue approached the Department of Punishment, his beautiful blue eyes trembled; his body was paralyzed as a pool of blood touched his feet.
The scene before Ming Xue's eyes was something that no young woman of her age would think of witnessing. The bodies of the guards of the Department of Punishment were scattered on all sides, a river of blood forming as it dyed the entire floor of red. Such a massacre was an extremely disturbing scene for Ming Xue.
Still shaking and imagining the worst, Ming Xue walked slowly toward the Department of Punishment, each step was hesitant, the fear of what she could see was increasing.
The Gate of Punishment Department was open and footprints were scattered everywhere; Ming Xue entered the Punishment Department and began to descend toward the cells.
The scent of death made his heart ache more and more; Ming Xue began to see the disciples' lifeless bodies, they were scattered to the mountains.
Ming Xue started down the stairs with a totally lifeless look, like a zombie walking automatically; On the last flight of stairs, before reaching the basement, Ming Xue stopped and was hesitant to descend; The hesitation lasted little ... Ming Xue squeezed the basket in his hands and started down the stairs ...
CONTINUES NEXT CHAPTER ...
HAHAHAHAHA I'm going.
When Ming Xue could see Zao Tian, his hands lost their strength and the basket fell to the ground; the fruits, breads and other foods began to roll down the stairs, while Ming Xue remained frozen because of the shock; When she finally managed to do something, she opened her mouth and shouted,
”Ahhhhhhhh ...” That scream carried the deepest pain a person could feel. Even the heavens, angels, and gods would be moved by that cry of lamentation.
Tears flooded Ming Xue's face and she began to run wildly toward Zao Tian.
The cell was locked because of this, Ming Xue could not enter. She began to pound the bars as she gathered all possible power. But Ming Xue's efforts were useless, tears flowing as she desperately kicked and pounded the bars.
His hands were already covered in blood and wounds, but the only scene that Ming Xue was focusing on at the time was the image of Zao Tian, lying on the floor, soaked with blood with a dagger hole in his chest.
”Ahhhhhhhhhh ...” Ming Xue's desperate cries continued, she tried to open hers anyway. She then looked to the side and saw the bodies of the Imperial Guards, she ran to one of them and the moment she approached, she tripped and fell with her face directly into the wound on the chest of one of them.
But what would normally make her feel disgusted or scared did not have any of these effects; With her face soaked with blood, Ming Xue took the sword from that Imperial Guard, she turned and began striking the bars with her sword.
”Ahhhhhhhh ... You can not be dead ... It's because of me that you're here! Please ... I beg ... Do not be dead ... Please ... ”Ming Xue pleaded as he hit the bars incessantly.
* Bang. Bang. Bang ... *
The blows continued and finally, Ming Xue succeeded. The cell opened and she ran toward Zao Tian.
In tears, Ming Xue jumped over Zao Tian and saw that he did not have any kind of reaction; The words 'please' 'please' were repeated as if they were a mantra.
”Mmm?” Ming Xue's lifeless eyes flashed suddenly. That was because even in such a desolate moment as that, a thread of hope arose in his face. The fact is, she managed to feel, faintly, Zao Tian's heart beat.
A mixture of joy and sorrow arose and Ming Xue was completely taken by hope; After using the sword to break the chains, she grabbed Zao Tian's body in her arms and began to run as fast as she could.
”You'll be fine! I'm going to take you to the Elders! You can not die ... Can you hear me? You can not die! ”Ming Xue talked to Zao Tian all the way.
Twice, Ming Xue, who ran as fast as possible, fell. But even during the two falls, she could still turn around and protect Zao Tian so he would not hit the ground.
As he began to see the image of the 'Star Of War School', Ming Xue began to scream desperately:
”Help, somebody help me…”
Ye Zuo, who was lecturing in the open air, heard the cry for help; He recognized the voice of Ming Xue and together with the disciples, he went against her.
Ming Xue saw the figure of Ye Zuo approaching extremely fast. As if her strength had been exhausted at that moment, she gave a faint smile and said,
”Elder ... help him ... please ...”
After finishing, Ming Xue lost his strength and began to fall slowly. However, she did not hit the ground, because quickly, Ye Zuo had already caught the two.
Seeing the state of Ming Xue, Ye Zuo was shocked. She was covered in blood and had several wounds on her wrists.
However, what left Ye Zuo really shocked, was when he saw the state of the almost lifeless Zao Tian.
Ye Zuo did not stop to think and quickly led the two to the Medical Department, the 'Star Of War School'. Ye Zuo delivered the two young men to the Elders of the Medical Department.
Quickly, Zao Tian and Ming Xue began to be treated.
One hour later…
Two Elders from the Medical Department left and went to talk to the apprehensive Ye Zuo.
”Ye Zuo, neither of those two is life-threatening! The girl, despite being covered in blood, had only a few wounds on her hands, she collapsed due to the depletion of spiritual energy and some probable mental shock ... Already the boy, well ... He had a luck of the gods! The location of the puncture he had in his chest ... It was the only possible place ... that would not cause any damage to his internal organs. He lost a lot of blood but will recover quickly! ”An Elder, who looked like an old man and wore a long green cloak, said to Ye Zuo.
After those words, Ye Zuo breathed a sigh of relief. He then said to the old man,
”Master Du Quian, I thank you for taking care of these two Juniors personally! I must bother you again ... and ask you to continue to take care of them. ”Ye Zuo replied. Even Ye Zuo, who was highly respected in the 'Star Of War School', treated that elder with immense respect.
Du Quian nodded, and at that same moment, Ye Zuo left.
Outside the Medical Department, there were about 7,000 guards from the 'Star Of War School'. As he ran to the Medical Department, Ye Zuo gave orders for all available guards to report there.
Ye Zuo stood facing the guards and with a tone of urgency, he ordered: ”All of you, we go to the Department of Punishment! I'll explain everything on the way! ”
After finishing, Ye Zuo hurried and began to run towards the Department of Punishment.
While running, Ye Zuo began to explain the situation to the guards:
”Apparently someone attacked our De-Punishment Department. Two Juniors from our school came wounded from there! The evildoers should not be there, but you must keep an eye on any possible enemy that may appear! ”
