Using her Super Speed, Cipher brought Bailu and Firefly to the Spices-of-Life Inn in an instant.
She put the two of them down. Seeing that Bailu was fine and full of energy, she felt relieved. But when she turned her head to look at Firefly beside her, she couldn't help but be startled.
This Firefly… she looked like she was on the verge of death.
"Hey, sis, are you alright?" Cipher quickly asked Firefly with concern.
Bailu, at her side, frowned as she looked at her. "Your body seems to be sick. But don't worry, I will treat you."
"Yeah, yeah, Hyacine can treat you too. If little Bailu can't cure you, we'll wait for Hyacine to come and have her try."
At that moment, Bailu had already begun her treatment. Under the blessing of the Dragon-Soothing Method, a stream of water emerged from her body and wrapped around Firefly's.
The stream of water circled Firefly's body once and then dissipated. Firefly felt her condition improve considerably. Her face became slightly rosy, and she had some strength in her limbs. It wasn't as uncomfortable as before.
"What a strange illness," Bailu said, frowning slightly.
"This kind of illness… I can only suppress it for now. I can't eradicate it."
"Thank you so much already." Feeling her body's condition improve, Firefly quickly thanked Bailu and Cipher.
Bailu quickly shook her head. "It's nothing, it's nothing. This can be considered compensation for getting you involved. Here, follow me first, and I'll give you another check-up."
Although it was a bit unexpected, the Vidyadhara girl before her could actually make her body feel more comfortable. It was an unexpected gain.
Wait, this appearance… could she be the Vidyadhara Healer Lady of the Xianzhou Luofu?
Before coming here, Firefly had also gotten some information about the Luofu from Elio. But she had always thought she was just coming here as a fighter and hadn't reacted at all when she saw Bailu. It wasn't until she treated her that Firefly remembered some things.
Thinking that the Healer Lady might be able to help treat her Entropy Loss Syndrome, Firefly immediately cooperated with Bailu and walked into the Spices-of-Life Inn.
If something really happened, Firefly felt that with some recovery, the difficulty of piloting the Sam armor to escape from the Luofu wouldn't be too great.
The three of them walked into the Spices-of-Life Inn like this.
At this moment in Aurum Alley, the Dragon-Lord Taoran was still frantically searching for Cipher and the others.
"Find them quickly! We can't let the Healer Lady leave our control! And that woman, I'll definitely… Hey, who are you?"
Taoran was walking and cursing when he bumped into a young man.
He felt that the youth wasn't very tall, nor was his build particularly sturdy, but when he bumped into him, he himself fell directly to the ground, while the youth stood there, unmoved.
Taoran was already full of anger, and now encountering this situation, he became even angrier.
But just as he finished speaking, he instantly felt his throat tighten. The person who had bumped into him was suddenly in front of him, a hand reaching out to grab him by the neck and lift him up.
"I'll ask you, where did the Healer Lady and the woman with her go?"
Derick asked Taoran.
On his way over, after hearing that the Dragon-Lords had surrounded Bailu and Cipher in an area, Derick had rushed over and bumped right into someone. He had originally wanted to apologize, but then he saw who it was.
Hey, Taoran, it's you! In that case, never mind.
So Derick grabbed Taoran by the neck and interrogated him about the whereabouts of Bailu and Cipher.
Looking at their appearance, he knew Cipher had probably used her Super Speed to leave, but he still had to press Taoran.
The purpose was to find an excuse to deal with Taoran and those who, like him, wanted to control the Healer Lady and incite racial conflict within the Xianzhou Alliance.
"You… are you that woman's accomplice?" Taoran asked Derick with difficulty.
The other Vidyadhara around them, seeing this situation, also took a step forward, wanting to help Taoran.
But just as they were about to move, Castorice had already acted. Swinging her scythe, these Vidyadhara were defeated with very little resistance.
Among the Vidyadhara, unless Dan Heng returned now and transformed into Imbibitor Lunae, there was really no one who was Castorice's match.
Thinking of Imbibitor Lunae, Derick's heart stirred, and he glanced towards a corner of Aurum Alley. Over there stood a young man holding a long spear.
It was Dan Heng.
He was watching the Vidyadhara being defeated from over there, with no intention of coming to help.
"You… you people want to be enemies with the Cloud Knights?" Taoran, seeing his subordinates all defeated, immediately called upon his other source of support. However, because Derick's hand was still gripping his throat, his words were muffled.
Seeing Taoran say this, Derick felt even more disdain. He was always doing things that were harmful to the Xianzhou Alliance, but now that he was about to be killed, he remembered the Cloud Knights.
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly. Are you begging for mercy? That's not necessary." Derick played dumb.
"Anyway, your actions were intended to harm the Healer Lady. In that case, you are an enemy of the Xianzhou. Towards our enemies, we only have one way."
The power of the Titan of Death from his hand was infused into Taoran's body. At the same time, under the cover of the Death Titan's energy, the power of the Crimson Moon was also being used.
Feeling the power in his body, Taoran's eyes widened.
This power was stripping him of his life force.
He wanted to say something, but Derick had completely deprived him of the chance.
You bastard, how did you die so easily?
I thought you were a thug who wanted to harm the Healer Lady!
If you have anything to say, go say it to the General's command!
We are all just trying to live our lives.
Derick smiled as he finished off the Dragon-Lord Taoran, not even giving him a chance to be reincarnated.
The other Vidyadhara around them exploded into an uproar. Some who were in league with Taoran attacked Derick, while others retreated to the side to seek the help of the Cloud Knights.
Faced with Taoran's accomplices, Derick was also not polite. He was slightly more merciful, only sending them to be reincarnated.
It wasn't until the Cloud Knights arrived that Derick stopped his actions.
"Why did you harm the Vidyadhara?" the leader of the Cloud Knights asked Derick.
Hearing him ask this, Derick immediately said with righteous indignation, "This Cloud Knight commander, I was ordered by the General to protect the Healer Lady. I thought these people were thugs who wanted to harm her!"
"Don't slander us! We were going to take the Healer Lady back. The only one we were going to deal with was the person beside her."
"Cipher is the person the General ordered to protect the Healer Lady. You attack her, isn't that the same as wanting to harm the Healer Lady?" As Derick said this, he also took out his Seat's command token and Jing Yuan's directive, proving that Cipher was indeed under orders to protect Bailu.
The Dragon-Lord was still cursing, "You're twisting the concept here! If you really wanted to protect the Healer Lady, you should have sent her back to us!"
"What? Do you think the Vidyadhara's ideas are more important than General Jing Yuan's orders!?"
"This…" Although the Dragon-Lord thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The Cloud Knight commander clearly understood the thoughts of these Vidyadhara, so at this moment, he also quietly came to stand by Derick's side. He also couldn't stand the attitude of the Vidyadhara. Taking the benefits given by the Xianzhou, yet still wanting to cause trouble.
Of course, Derick knew that this was not enough to make the Vidyadhara retreat.
He still had a final move.
"By the way!" Derick's eyes turned blood-red. "I just swallowed the thing inside the body of the Borisin War-pride Fenghuang, who was imprisoned in the Shackling Prison. I might be losing control now. You should all leave quickly."
He said he did what!?
The Vidyadhara couldn't help but be stunned.
The Borisin War-pride?
A crazed expression appeared in Derick's eyes, as if he was about to absorb all these Vidyadhara.
These Vidyadhara were so scared that they all fled.
After they left, Derick's eyes returned to normal.
With them running away like this, Jing Yuan now had a reason, an excuse, to move Bailu to a safe place and let her live a healthy life.
You Vidyadhara still want to take over?
Hey, look at you! You can't even protect the Healer Lady!
Seeing his normal expression return, the Cloud Knight commander couldn't help but give Derick a thumbs-up.
Brother, your performance was really convincing.
"Actually, I really did swallow Fenghuang's Crimson Moon," Derick said to the commander with a smile.
"Huh!?" The commander's face was filled with shock.
"Don't worry, I've already reported it to General Jing Yuan. You can verify it with him now. The Luofu is in a state of chaos right now. You all need to pay more attention to maintaining order," Derick said to the commander.
After speaking, he and Castorice and the others left.
Dan Heng, seeing this situation from a distance, also quietly left.
Thinking that Cipher and the others might be at the Spices-of-Life Inn, Derick and his group went over there to check on the situation.
Arriving at the entrance of the inn, they saw Cipher there.
The worry in Derick's heart finally settled. Seeing that she was truly safe and sound, he was completely relieved.
Seeing Derick and the others arrive, Cipher quickly ran over.
"Derry, Cassie, Hyacine, and Poli, you've come at just the right time." After coming over, Cipher grabbed Hyacine's hand.
"Hyacine, we might have encountered a difficult and complicated disease here. See if you have any solutions." Cipher said to Hyacine.
"What difficult and complicated disease?"
"Bailu checked for a long time. It seems to be called something like Entropy Loss Syndrome. Hyacine, have you heard of this illness?" Cipher asked her thoughtfully.
Hyacine shook her head.
And on the other side, Derick's expression was one of slight shock.
Entropy Loss Syndrome?
Cipher, you didn't bring Firefly here too, did you?
