Qin Chuan brandished his hands and said, "What are all of you still doing here? Are your boides itching for a beating? Go and continue your work!"

Immediately, every onlooker dispersed in confusion .

The empress was right beside their building and she was about to blow up . At this point in time, no one dared to screw anything up . All of them wanted to keep as far away as possible from the empress .

Actually, many people could sense the empress's aura when she rushed to the clinic . Along the way, everyone wondered what could have happened that made her so angry . As such, they hurriedly followed behind her . However, when they saw Tong Zhenye was beaten up so badly, they instantly decided to stay as far away as possible from her .

It was just that Qin Chuan's sensitivity towards auras was extremely weak, and hence, he couldn't sense the empress's arrival .

When Tong Zhenye returned to the courtyard, he saw the doctor and his disciples trembling down there .

There were some people standing on the walls and roofs outside of the courtyard trying to see what happened . All of them were officials from various ministries .

"Speak, what happened?" The empress was standing outside of a room in the clinic . The surrounding temperature was plummeting, causing the air to freeze . Everyone present could feel a piercing chilliness .

Just now, the empress had already taken a look at Ren Baqian . His most severe wound was at his waist where it was punctured by an arrow . He wouldn't die for the time being but it was still a very th.o.r.n.y problem as the arrow was smeared with poison .

Even though the poison wasn't deadly, it was much more troublesome than those lethal poisons .

This caused the flames of anger within her heart to burn even more fiercely . If she knew who did it, she would kill everyone in Great Xia's imperial palace .

"Your Majesty, Deputy Prefect Ren was attacked after he left and walked two hundred steps from the Ministry of Works . The enemy has obviously made ample preparation . The weapons they used are crossbows and their target was Deputy Prefect Ren . I immediately rushed over when I heard the imperial guard's scream . By the time I arrived, the battle had already ended . One of the two imperial guards died on the spot, and the other one was severely injured," Tong Zhenye recounted the incident . Actually, he did not know a lot of things either . It just so happened that he was the first to arrive on scene .

Now that he had become the empress's punching bag, he could only smile bitterly .

"Your Majesty, Sir Ren is alright for the time being, his wounds are alright as well . However, the poison on the arrow will be stuck in his body . Even though he looks alright on the surface, the poison is actually corroding his body now . Without an antidote, I'm afraid Sir Ren will become a disabled person in half a month's time . By then, he will still be clear-headed but he won't be able to move his body at all . Even if he obtains an antidote, it will not really work anymore," an energetic old man walked out from the room and told the empress .

"What kind of poison is it?" the empress asked coldly .

"Nine Pavilions's Torment . The poison's name is Torment . As its name implies, a person who is afflicted with Torment will be tormented for the rest of his life . The experience will be worse than dying . "

Upon hearing these words, the empress's hair drifted on its own . A violent gust of wind then blew across the entire courtyard . Everyone was continuously pushed backward by the powerful wind .

"Your Majesty, there's no point in getting angry now . Right now, what matters the most is to figure out a way to save Sir Ren," Tong Zhenye hurriedly advised the empress . His face turned ashen when he saw the empress's facial expression .

However, he was also shocked by the old man's words .

Nine Pavilions, as the name implied, there was a total of nine pavilions . Every pavilion's pavilion master was a top-notch expert . Every one of them was ranked within the top one hundred experts in the world .

Out of the nine pavilion masters, the most powerful one was Hua Sanliu, the fifth most powerful expert in the world .

With so many formidable experts, one could well imagine the strength of Nine Pavilions .

The nine pavilion masters were famous for their eccentricity .

One moment they would happily chatting and drinking with you, the next moment they could become hostile and go all out to kill you . After killing you, they would even weep for your dead body .

Once, there was a pavilion master who gatecrashed a wedding banquet to drink . The host even treated him like a guest of honor .

After finis.h.i.+ng his drink, he suddenly went into a rampage, killing everyone in the wedding banquet . Then, he decorated the scene into a funeral hall and personally put on mourning clothes for those dead people .

Anyone who would encounter such a person would want to stay as far away as possible from him and hide from him .

It wasn't like there was only one or two pavilion masters that behaved like this . But rather, all of them behaved this way . The more powerful a pavilion master, the more eccentric and sick he was .

Especially Hua Sanliu .

It was definitely not an easy task to seek antidote from a place like this .

　　 . . .

"Have you found anything?" a burly man in official man asked . Right now, at the scene where Ren Baqian was attacked, there were eight men searching for clues .

The burly man wasn't really tall . He was approximately 1 . 60 meters, which was considered extremely short among the aboriginals . However, everyone around him was scared of him, behaving as though he was a tiger . When they heard him talking, they immediately gathered around him .

"They walked until here and the four attackers jumped out from behind the walls on both sides of the road . At the same time, four crossbows were aimed at Sir Ren . If the imperial guard never pushed him away, he would be the one that became a porcupine," one of them said .

"The clothes of these four persons are from the Yun Nation . "

"Their weapons are from the Yun Nation as well . "

"One of the swords is from Dayao, it should belong to the most powerful attacker . "

"There isn't anything else on the rest's bodies . "

"They are either from Great Xia or the Yun Nation . They are definitely not from the Chen Nation," one of them said after searching through the bodies, making the burly man turn around .

"Even though the people from these three nations look slightly similar, Chen Nation people's skin is slightly coa.r.s.er . After all, the wind in Chen Nation is stronger . These four are obviously sacrificial warriors trained by a powerful family . Don't tell me they train in their rooms every day?" someone said .

"Continue to investigate . I want to know how long they have been in Dayao, where they stayed, and whom they contacted . Don't miss any detail," the burly man ordered loudly .

Just now, he could sense a terrifying aura heading towards the clinic . One had to know that, from the beginning of the attack until now, it had only been half an hour . When Her Majesty received the news of Ren Baqian being ambushed, she immediately rushed out of the palace . One could tell how much she cared about this matter .

At the same time, the empress's aura let everyone know that she was extremely furious . Under such a situation, no one dared to slack off .

He would be in deep trouble if he did not know anything when the empress questioned him later .

However, at this point in time, the empress wasn't thinking about these issues .

One would take roughly ten days to travel from Dayao to Nine Pavilions even if he travelled at his fastest speed .

According to the old man, Ren Baqian could endure for half a month at most . After half a month, even if he had the antidote, it would be useless .

Therefore, she couldn't send someone to Nine Pavilions to seek the antidote . Given that she did not have enough time, there was no point for her to even think about whether or not could she obtain the antidote .

She must ask someone to send Ren Baqian to Nine Pavilions . Furthermore, that person must be powerful enough to make Nine Pavilions hand over the antidote .

Only two persons in Dayao were capable of doing this .

The empress herself and Hong Wu .

However, Hong Wu was guarding the border right now . And if she suddenly appeared in Great Xia, one could well imagine impact she would cause .

Moreover, the royal family of Great Xia wouldn't look on blankly as she roamed around Great Xia and returned to Dayao .

Was she just going to watch him die then?

With an ice-cold look on her face, the empress slammed the door closed . Standing in the room, she looked silently at the pale-white Ren Baqian .
