The moment he stepped into the Immortal Realm world, Shen Li felt that the air was three times more polluted than usual. Different from the usual miasma, there was now a murderous and violent aura everywhere. Even the people in the capital were restless.

Shen Li walked towards the Immortal Realm Palace from the central avenue of the capital with a calm face. The broken houses along the way told the panic of the Immortal Realm world that day. The white flags hung messily and desertedly on the roadside. It didn't look like the Immortal Realm world's capital, but more like a ghost city, full of death.

In front of the palace gate, the guards wore white cloth strips on their heads, and the expressions on their faces were not as calm as usual, but a bit of forced majesty. The guard on the left side of the palace gate saw someone walking straight towards the palace gate, and did not see who it was. He just raised his spear and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

Shen Li frowned: "Why are you so panicked!" Her voice was slightly harsh, shocking the two guards. When they saw who it was, one of the guards curled his lips, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing: "Prince...Prince...Prince is back." He knelt on the ground with weak legs and kowtowed twice, "Prince is back! Prince is back!"

The other guard stared at Shen Li silently and wiped his tears.

Shen Li clenched his fists: "What a disgrace! Put your emotions in order for me!" Her voice was majestic, "No matter what happens now, as a soldier, you are not allowed to cry when you are on duty. If I see someone crying and shaking the morale of the army next time, I will kill him!"

The two guards kowtowed and agreed.

Shen Li then softened her tone a little: "Where is the Immortal Realm Lord?"

"My Lord, the Immortal Realm Lord is now resting in the bedroom..."

"Has he not woken up yet?"

"Has he not woken up yet."

Shen Li felt her heart burning.

The Immortal Realm Lord was powerful and very good at strategy. He was always protected by people with green faces and red faces. It was very difficult to hurt him. This injury, was it so serious... Shen Li almost ran to the Immortal Realm Lord's bedroom.

Before she got close, she saw maids coming in and out of the bedroom. The water basins in their hands splashed water while running, staining the ground with bright red.

Could it be that the Immortal Realm Lord's injury has worsened? Shen Li became more and more anxious and rushed straight into the hall. Someone kept calling Shen Li in her ears. They were officials from the Immortal Realm world. However, Shen Li had no time to respond to them. She walked around the screen and went to the inner room as soon as she lifted the curtain. The medical officer blocking the door could not persuade her.

The Immortal Realm king was lying on the bed, his clothes still on, and there was a little blood on his neck. A medical officer pressed his neck with a clean cloth, but soon the cloth got wet, so he had to ask the maid to wash it, and then replace it with a clean one.

The blood stains on his clothes dried and got wet for the first time. He did not take off the mask on his face, but only removed the lower jaw, revealing his lips, so that the servants could feed him medicine. The color of his lips revealed his poor physical condition. The color of his lips... was blue.

Shen Li took out the pills in his arms and said loudly: "Here are a few boxes of immortal pills given by the Heavenly Lord. Medical officers, come and see if there are any that can be used now."

As soon as these words came out, the medical officer beside him did not care about etiquette, and hurriedly took the pills in Shen Li's hand, poured them out one by one, carefully identified them, and then took one of them and put it into the Immortal Realm king's mouth.

In a short while, the blue color on the Immortal Realm king's lips faded slightly, and the blood on his neck slowly stopped. "This elixir works! This elixir works!"

The medical officers were ecstatic. Some of them bowed to Shen Li and said, "Your Majesty is truly a blessing to the Immortal Realm world." "Stop the flattery. What happened to the Immortal Realm Lord's injury?" The medical officers looked at each other. After a while, an old medical officer replied, "Your Majesty, the Immortal Realm Lord was only injured by a sword on his neck.

However, this sword was not serious. It only injured the flesh. The real cause of the Immortal Realm Lord's coma was... poison." Shen Li frowned: "What poison?"

"It seems to be a kind of miasma. When poisoned, it can make people lose their minds and then faint. If the poisoned person has wounds on his body, the wounds will not heal and the bleeding will not stop.

But this miasma is slightly different from other miasma. It seems to cause great harm to the bodies of the Immortal Realms, but will not pose a big threat to other things. It is just like a poison refined for the Immortal Realms."

Miasma ... Shen Li couldn't help but think of the poison that Fu Sheng had given her when she was in Yangzhou City before, but the poison was not too strong at that time, and Xingzhi also used a little magic power to dispel the miasma.

Is this poison now related to the poison at that time... Shen Li stayed by the side of the Immortal Realm Lord for a while, and saw that after taking the elixir, the blue color on the Immortal Realm Lord's lips completely faded, and the paleness slowly emerged. Shen Li could imagine how pale his face would be after taking off the mask.

She looked at him quietly for a while and clenched her fists: "Where are Qingyan and Chirong?" The guard beside her replied: "The two messengers did not show up in this battle." Shen Li's face sank. It was too coincidental, just like it was planned... She was silent for a while and asked: "Those generals... where are the generals who died now?" "They are still in the military camp outside the city. It may take a few days to bury them." "Why?"

The guard said in a very low voice: "According to military regulations, after a war, the soldiers must be buried first before the generals can be buried." Shen Li turned to look at him in a daze: "Five days have passed, and the soldiers have not been buried yet?"

The guard lowered his head and said nothing. Shen Li's mind was blank for a moment. She stood up, took a deep breath slowly, closed her eyes, and calmed herself down. "Guard the Immortal Realm Lord well and make sure he wakes up as soon as possible."

After that, she left the Immortal Realm Lord's bedroom, and without caring about any etiquette or rules, she rode a cloud in the Immortal Realm Palace and headed straight for the military camp outside the city. Before getting close, one could smell a deep smell of decay in the wind. The closer one got, the more one could hear people crying, some hoarse, some shrill, unbearable to listen to.

Shen Li flew over the area very quickly and landed in the military camp. The soldiers were busy and no one saw her. Shen Li grabbed a soldier and asked, "Where are the generals?" The soldier's eyes were dull. He looked up at Shen Li for a long time before light slowly shone in his eyes, "Your Highness..."

He called out in disbelief, and then seeing Shen Li was still there, he was so excited that he held Shen Li's hand, "Your Highness...Your Highness..." His face flushed and he shouted, "Your Highness is back! Your Highness is back!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over here, and saw that Shen Li was indeed standing there.

Everyone was overjoyed, but listening to their cheers, Shen Li's mood became even heavier.

The Immortal Realm world is not a loose group without rules, and these soldiers should not act like they see anyone as a savior. They should be orderly and act according to the planned plan no matter what happens. They are usually like this.

Even if they are defeated, they will not behave like this. But this time... It seems that the situation is more serious than expected. Shen Li was thinking, and suddenly saw two generals walking quickly in front of her. Shen Li immediately went forward: "General Dao Mu, General Shi Fang..."

She just greeted them, and before she could say anything, the two middle-aged generals knelt down in front of her with a "thump".

"I am incompetent!"

"I am guilty."

They slammed their foreheads to the ground with great force, expressing their extremely unwilling anger and irreparable regret.

"General..." Shen Li's face moved.

Even though he told himself to stay calm at this moment, he was still moved by the kowtow of these two veterans. How big a blow would it take to make the proud soldiers of the Immortal Realm world so depressed? She reached out and helped the two generals up, "Let Shen Li understand what happened in the Immortal Realm world first."

The two veterans slowly stood up and led Shen Li to the back of the military camp, explaining, "Five days ago, a group of people suddenly attacked from the south."

Dao Mu's expression was so dejected that he could hardly continue speaking. Shen Li was surprised, and finally Shi Fang took over the conversation and said, "The other side only has two hundred people..."

Shen Li was shocked and couldn't believe it: "How many?"

"Two hundred people."

Shen Li suddenly understood why the soldiers were so depressed. The capital guards had a little more than 100,000 soldiers, and the generals of all sizes must have more than two hundred people, and so many soldiers were trampled to such an extent by just two hundred people.

"What is the background of the other side?" Shen Li's voice was slightly hoarse. It must be said that even if she had never experienced a battle, she was still shocked to hear this number.

"They are holding the flag of the North Sea Clan. The soldiers are all big and strong. They don't wear any armor and go into battle bare-chested. They don't use any weapons and fight with their bare hands. They either break the opponent's neck or beat them to death. Some even rip people in half with great strength." Shi Fang's voice was flat, but even if he said these words so calmly, it was still shocking.

"Their skin seems to be very different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary soldiers' swords and guns can hardly penetrate it. Only generals with a little Taoist cultivation can infuse magic power into their weapons and still hurt them a little."

"Are there any dead bodies left?"

The two generals looked at each other and said, "No, but I can be sure that at least 30 enemies were beheaded, but their bodies were taken back by the enemy. Only one enemy was captured by the Immortal Realm Lord and blasted into pulp."

Shen Li pondered for a moment. The description of the two generals made her think of the three burly men she met in the Yangzhou City Wall barrier when she was capturing the Earth Immortal Mountain God. If it was them, there would be 200 people, and their strength should not be underestimated. Thinking of the mysterious Fu Sheng, Shen Li asked, "Do they have a leader?"

"It's a very young man. He looks like an ordinary person, but his sword skills are weird, and the Immortal Realm Lord was injured by his sword."

Shen Li's mind immediately appeared Fu Sheng's figure. Thinking of this, it makes sense. Those burly men are his subordinates, and the miasma is also his thing, but how could he be a member of the North Sea clan? Previously, he captured the earth immortals and mountain gods in the human world. Now, he went to great lengths to feign an attack on the heavens and then attacked the Immortal Realm world...

Shen Li paused and murmured, "He attacked the Immortal Realm world... Why?"

Dao Mu heard her mumbling and clenched his fists, "The Immortal Realm Lord's Golden Seal was taken away by him."

The Golden Seal is the symbol of the Immortal Realm world's political power. Thinking of the riots that occurred in various parts of the Immortal Realm world at the same time, Shen Li's eyebrows sank. Is it really to seize power? But what kind of power can be seized by just taking away a golden seal...

Shen Li was thinking about it when he arrived at the mourning hall where the general's body was placed. Shen Li's face became solemn and he stepped in. There were many generals inside, and everyone made way for Shen Li to pass. A row of coffins, dozens of corpses.

Shen Li could call out the names of the people lying here, but now she couldn't recognize some of them, some of them were incomplete, some of them were unrecognizable, and some...

Shen Li stopped in front of a coffin. There was only a sword and some broken pieces of armor in the coffin, and the bloodstains on them looked creepy. "Who is this?" she asked softly.

"It's General Mofang."

The general behind him answered, "He fought desperately on the battlefield and beheaded three enemies.

In the end... he was surrounded by several enemies... and was eaten alive..." Mofang... was... eaten... by the enemy ?
