Chapter 1432 - 642: Jin Gui

Song Zhenrong’s voice was a bit choked up, almost unable to speak.

Thinking about the hardships his sister endured, he was nearly sleepless day and night with sorrow.

However, Song Zhenrong could still speak and move, while Song Xi had long turned into a heap of foul-smelling rotting flesh, barely resembling a human. She couldn’t even speak, only her skin, full of cheese-like holes of different sizes, opened and closed as she breathed.

As the thick blanket was spread open, revealing Song Xi’s true condition, Ding Hui’s eyes immediately sparkled.

Song Xi had been one of her experimental subjects. Ding Hui hadn’t forgotten about Song Xi’s existence; it was just that the situation was forcing her hand, as plans couldn’t catch up with the changes. Thunder City’s situation underwent drastic changes, leaving no time to attend to Song Xi.

But now, there was a need for Song Xi. The matter of treating her illness naturally came to the forefront.

"Luckily... luckily the degree of illness worsening is still within controllable range."

Ding Hui displayed a relieved expression.

These words instantly excited Song Zhenrong, setting his worried heart at ease.

Ding Hui’s reputation was undisputed, and her words naturally were as reassuring as an anchor for a ship in troubled waters.

Thud!

Song Zhenrong directly knelt down.

"Please, Divine Doctor Ding, save my sister’s life!"

Ding Hui smiled.

"Captain Song, you’re too kind. This was what we agreed upon."

As if by tacit agreement, the two temporarily did not mention the Rebel Army or Foolish Underworld matters.

After a pause, Ding Hui said, "Captain Song, this place is dangerous. It’s only a temporary contact point. To cure your sister, we need a safer place."

"I’ll make arrangements!" Song Zhenrong volunteered immediately, but...

Ding Hui shook her head slightly, looking up at the sky, her face showing concern.

"Given the current situation, nowhere is truly safe. Moreover, my husband and I are still being hunted by Foolish Underworld, so as not to burden Captain Song, we better take Sister Song Xi and return to the Rebel Army’s hidden place. Once Sister Song Xi’s illness is cured, we’ll inform Captain Song."

After speaking, Ding Hui gave Fang Yu a look.

Fang Yu understood, went forward, wrapped Song Xi meticulously in the thick blanket again, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

At this moment, Song Zhenrong’s face clearly showed signs of hesitation, inner conflict, and indecision.

His expression changed several times, and as Fang Yu was about to carry Song Xi away, he quickly spoke up.

"Wait!"

Fang Yu and Ding Hui turned back to look at him in confusion, only to see Song Zhenrong take a deep breath and, gritting his teeth, said, "Can I... can I go with you?"

This statement made even Fang Yu pause for a moment.

"Mr. Song... wants to go back to the Rebel Army with us?"

"..."

Song Zhenrong looked up at Fang Yu and nodded slowly.

For his sister, he was willing to take risks.

Glory and wealth were ultimately external possessions.

Song Zhenrong had never forgotten his original intention. No matter how high he climbed in the Foolish Underworld, all he wanted was for his family to live a better life, that’s all.

But, this sincerity he knew in his own heart, whatever others might think was hard to say.

Nervously, he looked at Fang Yu and Ding Hui.

Fang Yu was evidently still hesitating, after all... there was the possibility of a few traps here. Who knew if the Foolish Underworld would track Song Zhenrong to the Rebel Army’s base, or if Song Zhenrong was unaware and the higher-ups of Foolish Underworld were setting a trap, with the Ten Major Families doing the same.

But on second thought, the Foolish Underworld had just lost the Lord of Mansion, and several Hall Masters were leaderless. The Ten Major Families had to deal with the imminent army from the Capital, leaving no energy to concern themselves with these minor figures.

With this in mind, Fang Yu felt relieved.

At this time, Ding Hui also spoke up.

"Alright then, we invite Captain Song to accompany us on this journey. However... when we reach the Rebel Army’s base, we cannot guarantee Captain Song’s safety."

"...I am willing to become a prisoner of the Rebel Army to ensure my sister’s safety."

This was to add leverage to cure his sister Song Xi.

However...

"Captain Song, actually, my husband and I have a delicate relationship with the Rebel Army and hold little real power. If you become a prisoner of the Rebel Army, your life would be uncertain, and it’s not worth taking the risk..."

"My mind is made up, Divine Doctor Ding, there’s no need to persuade me further. Even if I become a captive, I want to stay by my sister’s side!"

Such firm determination moved Fang Yu’s heart a bit.

He looked at Ding Hui, considering having Ding Hui hold back.

But Ding Hui turned around, with her back to Song Zhenrong, and playfully stuck her tongue out at Fang Yu.

Accompanied by a rumbling thundercloud in the high sky, illuminating below...

"In that case, we won’t try to dissuade you anymore. Captain Song, please stay close."

Fang Yu glanced at the sky filled with thunderclouds, carrying Song Xi and, along with Ding Hui, took Song Zhenrong to the Rebel Army’s previous base.

The rumbling on the ground was intensifying, and the Capital’s army was probably not far from Thunder City...

...

Dust flew as tens of thousands of horses galloped.

In the distance, the Capital’s army could already see Thunder City reacting as if ready to defend, activating city-defending measures.

Although it was the middle of the day, only Thunder City was covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared!

Undoubtedly, if an attack was launched, the thunder from above would undoubtedly fall on the soldiers.

Even if they got closer to the city, these dark clouds and thunder could fall on those attacking the city.

"Are those the Tongtian Ten Pillars of Thunder City?" The chubby general leading the charge asked.

"Yes, my lord. According to records, Thunder City’s Tongtian Ten Pillars possess the might of heavenly thunder, capable of annihilating any demon approaching the city to ensure the city’s safety," the deputy general beside him replied, wiping his sweat slightly.

This remote border area was almost a place they, who were stationed in the Capital, wouldn’t encounter.
