Jiang Chen did not rest, nor did he relax. Now was not the time to relax.
He left the imperial palace and headed toward Shrek Academy.
The current Shrek Seven Devils: Tang San was at Moon Pavilion, Ning Rongrong was at Shrek Academy, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were both out training, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had returned to the Star Luo Empire, and Xiao Wu should be inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
When the Shrek Seven Devils gathered again, the Douluo Continent would surely have undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this moment, inside Shrek Academy, Gu Rong had already woken up under treatment.
But his injuries were too severe. Even though one of these healing soul masters had reached the Soul Saint level, they could not heal him completely in a short time.
Moreover, the gray mist released by Jiang Chen had absorbed a large amount of his life force. He now looked much older than before and was extremely weak.
What shocked everyone was that the poison in Gu Rong's body could not be cleared. Although it was not spreading further, it stubbornly remained inside him.
Before he lost consciousness, he had barely used his soul power to force these toxins into a corner. Now that he was awake, neither the healing soul masters nor his own soul power could remove this stubborn poison.
However, his condition had stabilized.
At this time, he was sitting propped up in bed, watching several healing soul masters treating Ning Fengzhi beside him.
Gu Rong's old face was full of worry.
When he fled earlier, he had briefly checked Ning Fengzhi's injuries. They were much more serious than his own. His body had been destroyed by tyrannical power, and he had also been poisoned with that same stubborn toxin.
He could temporarily suppress that poison, but Ning Fengzhi definitely could not.
Ning Fengzhi's cultivation was already crippled due to the internal injuries, making it impossible for him to circulate soul power to suppress the toxin.
Fortunately, this poison was not immediately fatal but slowly devoured the body. Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi would have died long ago.
A moment later, the several healing soul masters stopped their skills and shook their heads helplessly.
"Dean Flender, we did our best," one healing soul master said, shaking his head and sighing. "His internal injuries have stabilized. We should be able to help him recover by coming once a day. But that poison is too strange. We have never seen such a difficult toxin to remove."
Another person said, "Yes. Even if we heal his physical injuries, that deadly poison will remain in his body, causing him to gradually weaken until he eventually dies."
Flender immediately became anxious. "Masters, please think of another way, or do you know anyone who can detoxify this poison?"
The masters had entrusted him with taking care of Ning Fengzhi. He did not want to wait until the masters returned only to see a corpse.
These healing soul masters all shook their heads. "We are powerless."
"There is one person who might be able to detoxify this poison," one of the healing soul masters suddenly spoke.
Flender's eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Who is this expert?"
The soul master who had spoken said, "The one known as Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo. Senior Dugu is most skilled in using poison and might have a way."
Flender's face quickly darkened. From what Chen Xin had said earlier, Dugu Bo had already joined the Spirit Hall.
It was very possible that this stubborn poison had been released by that old poisoner Dugu Bo himself.
Dugu Bo was the murderer. Why would he help save Ning Fengzhi?
"Dean Flender, about the fee…"
Flender paid the expensive fee with a pained heart.
He decided in his heart that once Ning Fengzhi woke up, he would definitely get this money back from him before he kicked the bucket.
The several soul masters received the payment and smiled. "Dean Flender, if you need us to come for treatment tomorrow, just let us know."
Flender remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he cursed endlessly. They couldn't even detoxify the poison, what use were they?
Healing physical injuries could be handled by the teachers in his academy.
After seeing off several soul masters, Flender returned to the room.
"Senior Gu Rong, this junior has done his best," Flender said with an apologetic look.
Gu Rong nodded slightly. "Thank you. Don't worry, the fee paid earlier will be compensated to you later."
Flender's expression turned serious as he feigned anger. "Senior, what are you saying? You are Rongrong's elder, and we are all family. Money doesn't matter."
Gu Rong nodded slightly. "It's rare for you to be so considerate."
That's it? Shouldn't you insist a bit more on giving it to me? Flender suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
"Ning Fengzhi, you brat, you must hold on," Gu Rong said with a worried expression, murmuring.
"By the way, where did Chen Xin go?" Gu Rong asked.
He had noticed Chen Xin was missing as soon as he woke up but only now had the chance to ask.
Zhao Wuji, who was standing nearby, answered, "Sword Douluo went to the palace. He said he was going to remind His Majesty the Emperor and borrow some healing soul masters."
Gu Rong nodded, a trace of hope rising in his heart.
"What about Rongrong? Does she know about this?"
Flender said, "She knows. She couldn't accept the blow and temporarily fainted. She will definitely come once she wakes up."
Gu Rong felt a pang of heartache. The sect had been destroyed, her father was gravely injured and on the verge of death. How could a young girl endure such terrible news?
She was probably close to a mental breakdown.
"Spirit Hall, I, Gu Rong, swear that no matter the cost, I will make you pay the price you deserve." Gu Rong's eyes shot out an incomparably hateful light, startling Flender and Zhao Wuji beside him.
A moment later, Gu Rong sighed and said, "I've troubled you. You two go handle other matters. I'll watch over things here."
"Alright, Senior. If you need anything, just give us the order." Flender assured him, then left with Zhao Wuji.
Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi, who had only one arm left and looked equally aged, sighed several more times, then closed his eyes and slowly circulated his energy to heal.
His injuries were extremely severe. Those healing soul masters could not restore him all at once. He still needed to seize the time to heal himself.
…
Outside Shrek Academy, Jiang Chen saw that Flender and Zhao Wuji had both left the small courtyard and knew the opportunity had come.
He found a hidden spot, stripped himself completely naked, and his body writhed as it strangely shrank. Finally, he transformed into a small cat.
If anyone saw this scene, they would be scared into having a heart attack.
Such a tall young man had turned into a small cat in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Chen let out a "meow," lightly leaped, and jumped onto the more than ten-meter-high outer wall of Shrek Academy.
His two little birds had been monitoring this place for several hours, so he was already extremely familiar with the interior. He skillfully made his way to a quiet small courtyard.
He lightly leaped over the courtyard wall and arrived in front of a room in the back courtyard.
He extended a cat paw to push the door, slipped inside, and closed the door behind him.
His body writhed again as he stood up and returned to his original form.
Without any cover, he walked to the bed. On the pink bed lay a charming young girl.
The girl had delicate features and extremely fair, smooth skin, though her face looked somewhat haggard. Her long eyelashes still held some crystalline tears.
Jiang Chen leaned down and pressed Ning Rongrong's sleep acupoint, causing her to fall into a deep unconscious state.
Then, he reached toward her slender waist and undid her belt.
Like peeling an eggshell, the tender and delicious white flesh appeared before Jiang Chen a moment later.
