When Ling Dao woke up, he was already lying in a dilapidated temple. He had been sleeping for a whole day and a whole night, and even now, he was still exhausted. He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.
"Your Highness, you are finally awake!"
A familiar voice sounded in Lingdao's ears, but when he saw the speaker, he was surprised. In front of him was an old man with white hair and deep wrinkles on his face.
"Grandpa Jiang, why have you become like this?"
The old man in front of him was none other than General Jiang Zhong. Jiang Zhong used to look like he was only in his forties, but now he is in his sixties or seventies. That night, Jiang Zhong fought bloody battles and burned his cultivation to kill the killers in black.
The price of doing this is that Jiang Zhong's cultivation is now completely useless, so he looks like his true age. But he had no choice at the time. If he didn't do this, then he and Ling Dao would probably be killed by those black-clad killers. It doesn't matter if he dies, but nothing happens to Ling Dao.
"It's nothing, I just lost all my cultivation!"
Jiang Zhong said it was easy, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Just like a person who has a fortune of several hundred million and suddenly goes bankrupt overnight, it is impossible to be completely clear-eyed about it. But for Ling Dao, everything is worth it.
"It's all my fault, I've caused Grandpa Jiang to suffer!"
The reason why Jiang Zhong became like this was because he wanted to protect Ling Dao. If he escaped alone, nothing might happen. Because the main target of those killers was Ling Dao, not Jiang Zhong.
"Your Highness, don't say such things. Your Majesty has given me the grace to save my life and rebuild my life, and His Highness treats me like a family member. Being able to protect His Highness, even if it means sacrificing my life, is worth it!
What happened at Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion this time really made me angry. If there were no inner ghosts, this would not be possible. However, the top priority is not revenge, but to ensure that His Highness does not have to worry about his life and learn a skill. The prince has had this idea before, that is, let you join the Tianwuzong! "
Both Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao understood that it was impossible for the royal family to help Ling Dao. Now that they returned to Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion, they would be throwing themselves into a trap. The best choice is to join Tianwuzong, because Tianwuzong is a truly powerful force.
As the eldest son of Prince Xiaoyao, Ling Dao had naturally heard about the Tianwu Sect a long time ago. According to legend, the Tianwuzong can be on an equal footing with the Daluo Dynasty. This may be a bit exaggerated, but even if the Tianwuzong is weak, it is not much weaker.
"Your Highness, don't think so much. We will rush to Tianwuzong after dawn. At this time, Tianwuzong is recruiting disciples!"
Ling Dao nodded. He had been weak since he was a child, and Jiang Zhong was deposed. Returning to the capital would be a road to death. Only by joining the Tianwuzong and learning some skills can revenge be possible. Perhaps after becoming a disciple of Tianwuzong, it would be possible to get rid of all the sword energy in the body.
… …
After dawn, Jiang Zhong took Ling Dao and left the dilapidated temple. In their current situation, it is impossible to take any major roads. Fortunately, even if they take mountain roads, Jiang Zhong is very familiar with them. Otherwise, Ling Dao could only look at the map of Daluo Dynasty and slowly explore.
"Your Highness, do we need to rest for a while?"
Ling Dao's body was extremely weak, and Jiang Zhong naturally knew this. It is extremely rare to be able to travel such a long distance. Seeing the sweat on Ling Dao's head, Jiang Zhong also felt a little distressed. Unfortunately, he was running for his life now, so he could only do this.
"Okay, let's stop and get something to eat!"
Fortunately, he had not neglected his training over the years, otherwise, Ling Dao would not have been able to walk such a long distance. Although King Xiaoyao loves Ling Dao, he is also extremely strict with Ling Dao. Ling Dao's body is already weak. If he doesn't exercise hard, he may be out of breath after walking a few steps.
"Your Highness, sit here and wait for a while. I'll go catch some game and come back!"
After Jiang Zhong finished speaking, he left here as quickly as possible. They escaped, so naturally they didn't bring any dry food with them. After Jiang Zhong left, Ling Dao did not find a place to sit down, but looked around for dry firewood.
"Huhu..."
In the wilderness, all Lingdao could think of was drilling wood to make fire. After working for a long time, he finally succeeded, and he blew gently on the smoke. At this time, Jiang Zhong had already rushed back.
"I'm lucky. I caught two hares. Let's eat them for lunch today!"
Soon, Jiang Zhong cleaned up the hare and set it on the fire for barbecue. In the past, Lingdao didn't have much appetite for delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now the two roast rabbits made him hungry. He was really hungry.
"Gulu gulu..."
Smelling the aroma of roasted rabbit, Lingdao's stomach growled. After the roast rabbit was cooked, Ling Dao and Jiang Zhong started to eat. To them now, this roasted rabbit is simply the best delicacy in the world.
"Da da da… "
There was a sound of footsteps, Ling Dao's ears perked up, and Jiang Zhong stood up with a "chun" sound. In such a wilderness, I'm afraid no one usually comes, and they are being hunted, so they can't help but be careless.
"Hahaha, you can't find anything even after you've worn iron shoes. It took no effort to get here. I didn't expect that I would find you. Prince Xiaoyao, as long as I capture you and do business, I will definitely make a lot of money!"
A man in black came from a distance. When they saw him, Ling Dao and Jiang Zhong both had their eyes breathing fire. It was this group of men in black who killed all the guards of their Xiaoyao Palace. Ling Dao and Jiang Zhong would never admit their mistake.
Even Jiang Zhong didn't expect that he would be chased by the other party while walking on such a mountain road. The man in black was lucky to be able to find them in such a large place in the wilderness. It can only be said that Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao were too unlucky.
"Oh, the look in your eyes makes me want to kill me. It's a pity, it's a pity, do you have that ability? You two, old and one young, what are your abilities?"
The man in black had already walked up to Jiang Zhong and Ling Dao. He had his face covered. Ling Dao couldn't see his appearance, but he could see those greedy eyes. To the killer in black, Lingdao is equal to huge wealth.
"It's a True Qi Realm warrior! Your Highness, run for your life and I'll stop this person for you!"
Jiang Zhong's expression darkened. If he were in his prime, he would be able to kill a True Qi Realm warrior with one sword. It's a pity that now that he has lost all his cultivation and is injured in his body, he has no confidence in dealing with such a killer.
"Let's go!"
After yelling at Ling Dao, Jiang Zhong pulled out the sword on his back and suddenly killed the man in black!
