Ye Xuan waved her hand and said, "Fortunately, he's still alive. We'll wait for Sumo to come. Let my brother recover first. I'll tell you about the rest later."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded respectfully.
Only then did Ye Xuan return to her room. At this moment, Ye Xuan had already fallen into a deep sleep. The dense white mist, because of Ye Xuan's cold body temperature, froze on the bedding.
After checking on Ye Xuan's condition and using her vigorous Divine Qi to expel the coldness for Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan saw Long Chen next to her. She said to Long Chen in a gentle tone, "Can you please tell me the details?"
Long Chen nodded and told Ye Xuan about what happened in the Nether Battlefield. He also told her about how he saved Ye Xuan last time.
Of course, he didn't hint that he thought Sumo was the mastermind. He knew the relationship between Ye Xuan and Sumo. Without evidence, he couldn't speak carelessly. Otherwise, he might get himself killed.
Ye Xuan and Sumo were super experts that even Long Chen couldn't escape from with the Blood Escape.
After listening, Ye Xuan was shocked by Long Chen. In her eyes, Long Chen was only a small warrior in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm. She thought that Long Chen was just lucky and saved Ye Xuan once. She didn't expect that not only did Long Chen save Ye Xuan, he even saved Ye Xuan last time when he was in danger because of Long Chen.
Moreover, Long Chen didn't casually save Ye Xuan. Instead, he used his own strength to force Ye Xuan to retreat.
A warrior in the seventh level of the Heaven Martial Realm could defeat a warrior in the second level of the God Martial Realm.
Long Chen's words were vague, but Ye Xuan knew that it was not that simple. This Long Chen must have something special about him.
Her eyes, which were black with a slight hint of purple, were looking at Long Chen from head to toe. Suddenly, Ye Xuan let out a beautiful smile and said, "My little brother has never liked to talk to others since he was young. It seems like you have a good relationship with him."
Long Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
"Who do you think is the culprit? After failing to make a move in the Spirit Lord City, he pretended to be a member of the Netherworld Army and entered the Netherworld Battlefield," Ye Xuan suddenly asked.
"I'm not too sure about that. I can only wait for him to wake up and let him tell me himself." Long Chen didn't want to be involved in this trouble, so he was more conservative with his words.
When Ye Xuan heard this, she stayed by the bedside and didn't say anything else. With the nourishment of Ye Xuan's boundless true essence, Ye Xuan's expression looked a little better, and he gradually woke up.
"Sister, I'm so useless. I've troubled you again." Ye Xuan said apologetically.
"You're at the second level of the God Martial Realm, and you're very experienced. It's normal that you can't beat him. Don't think too much. When Sumo comes and uses the Nine Sun Phoenix Dan to save you, you can rest here for a few months. I will catch the culprit."
Ye Xuan looked at her little brother, her eyes full of love.
At the same time, she seemed to have a lot of trust in Sumo.
Both Long Chen and Ye Xuan could hear that.
"General Sumo, the Nine Sun Phoenix Dan is so precious. Will he give it to me so easily?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.
"Yes."
Ye Xuan smiled and said, "You seem to have a big prejudice against him. I've been with him for hundreds of years, but I still don't know what kind of person he is. Just wait and see, he'll be here soon."
As expected, after Ye Xuan finished talking, there was a commotion outside.
"Sister Xuan, can I come in?" Sumo's magnetic voice came from outside.
"Come in."
Ye Xuan stood up and showed a light smile. She trusted Sumo, that's why she didn't show any signs of anxiety after Ye Xuan was hit by the Dark North Godly Palm. Otherwise, if she didn't have a way to save him, she would have already lost her temper.
At this moment, Sumo pushed the door open and walked in. His first glance was at Ye Xuan and her brother, then he looked at Long Chen in the corner. After seeing Long Chen, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, as if he didn't see Long Chen. He quickly walked in front of Ye Xuan and looked at the heavily injured Ye Xuan with a concerned expression.
"Damn it, who was it that snuck into the Nether Battlefield and used the Dark North Godly Palm? The Nether Army has been leaking battle techniques to outsiders these years. It seems that I need to report to Emperor Hades to deal with this problem." Sumo said with a frown.
"It's all my fault this time, I didn't look after your brother."
Sumo blamed himself. He sat on the edge of the bed while Long Chen and Ye Xuan were waiting to see what he would do next. At this moment, Sumo didn't say anything and took out a red crystal box from his storage ring.
"This is the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pellet. It's an item of extreme Yang. After he consumes it, I'll use my Divine Origin to spread it out and expel the Northern Dark Qi from his body. Sister Xuan, help your brother up."
After seeing the red box, Long Chen and Ye Xuan both fell into deep thought. The Nether Army was most likely Sumo's people, but how could they be sure that Sumo was the mastermind? Ye Xuan wasn't an idiot. She had been with Sumo for hundreds of years, how could she not know who Sumo was?
Moreover, why did Sumo attack Ye Xuan?
Ye Xuan was just a kid at the first level of the Divine Martial Realm. If he wanted to threaten Sumo's position, it would probably take him hundreds of years.
Moreover, at this time, he was so generous, he took out the precious Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pellet without even frowning. This Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pellet was a Rank Three Pellet, it had a great healing effect. Generally speaking, as long as someone was hit by a cold fighting skill, the effect of using this Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pellet would be much better than other pellets. If it was used properly, the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pellet could display an incomparably great effect, it could even cure the injuries caused by a warrior at the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm.
In many cases, this Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pill was equivalent to a life.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan wasn't surprised. She directly helped Ye Xuan up and cooperated with Sumo. Sumo sat behind Ye Xuan and put the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pill into Ye Xuan's mouth. After that, Sumo's hands were burning with purple flames. A purple phoenix image flashed on his palms and then poured into Ye Xuan's body.
Sumo was also an alchemist. His alchemic fire and the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pill in Ye Xuan's body worked together. The speed at which the Northern Underworld Qi was expelled was much faster. Ye Xuan's body gradually recovered and his consciousness became clearer.
Long Chen had been watching everything carefully. He had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Is there a problem with this Sumo?"
Judging from the current situation, there shouldn't be a problem. But why did he subconsciously look at me with hostility when he entered the room? If he was the culprit, it would be normal for Long Chen to ruin his plan … But, judging from his other actions, that shouldn't be the case.
So, Long Chen was also in a dilemma.
About an hour later, the refinement of the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pill was completed.
Su Mo let Ye Xuan lie down quietly, then gently said to the beautiful City Lord Ye Xuan, "I've already dispelled the Northern Underworld Qi, but his body is already injured, so he needs the Nine Sun Fire Phoenix Pill's medicinal power to gradually seep into his body, so it's best for him to lie on the bed and get a good rest."
"Okay, I will arrange it. If you are tired, go back and rest." Ye Xuan was like a wife, wiping the sweat off of Sumo.
"I will go to the Nether Battlefield to see if there are any clues. At the same time, I will notify the Nether Army in the other cities and let them keep an eye on some unknown people, especially those in the second level of the God Martial Arts Realm who have learned the Northern Underworld Palm. Ye Xuan's brother has been assassinated again and again. This is not a good thing. If we don't kill the culprit, trouble will come one after another. I really don't know who is tired of living. They even dare to touch our Ye Family and Su Family." When Sumo said this, his eyes were obviously filled with anger.
Ye Xuan was also a little angry. She said, "You have to worry about this. My brother will be fine as long as he stays in the City Lord's Mansion. The entire Nether City is under my control. I want to see who can escape from my Divine Sense."
Sumo's heart skipped a beat.
The Divine Sense of the fifth level of the God Martial Arts Realm had a range of ten miles. In other words, half of the Nether City was under Ye Xuan's control. The good thing was that the Nether Army's training camp in the east of the city was not under Ye Xuan's Divine Sense.
"If that is the case, I will leave first."
Sumo nodded. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Long Chen and said, "I heard that it was you who saved Ye Xuan from the Nether Battlefield. Is that right?"
Long Chen was still wearing the Nether Armor. Obviously, he was a member of the Nether Army. Sumo was the commander of the Nether Army in the Nether City. In other words, he was Long Chen's direct superior. Naturally, Long Chen had to listen to him.
Therefore, Long Chen nodded and said, "I was in a hurry to come to the City Lord's Mansion. I had some conflicts with the warriors guarding the gate. I hope the commander will forgive me."
Sumo nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is not a big deal. You saved him. You have done me a great service. Come back with me to the Nether Army. I will reward you handsomely."
Sumo was at the fourth level of the God Martial Arts Realm. He could probably kill Long Chen with one finger.
Now, he wanted Long Chen to go back.
Long Chen thought, "If I go back to the Nether Army, there might be other troubles. Sumo doesn't seem to care much about me."
Thinking of this, Long Chen said, "Ye Xuan and I are life and death brothers. Now that he is injured, I want to stay by his side. General Sumo, can I go back later?"
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, Ye Xuan, who was lying on the bed, said anxiously, "Just let Long Chen stay here. I am too bored. He saved me twice. He is my brother. We haven't had a good chat yet."
Seeing that Ye Xuan was so insistent, Sumo didn't say anything.
"I am leaving." He smiled gently at Ye Xuan and left.
