It seemed Xiao Teng's injury wasn't merely to his Divine Soul. Conventional treatments were ineffective, and his condition required further study. For now, he could only nourish his Divine Soul with Spirit Medicine.
Prince Zhenbei, Xiao He, was enraged, but there was nothing he could do except watch helplessly as Xiao Teng lay comatose in bed.
If Xiao Teng hadn't sensed something amiss early last night and crushed the Jade Talisman, alerting the masters from Prince Zhenbei's Mansion to rush over at once, he likely would have lost his life.
For such an incident to occur on the eve of the Southern Hunting drill naturally sent shockwaves of anger through the court.
Emperor Xia immediately dispatched numerous masters to investigate, determined to find the true culprit.
Many people suspected this was a show of force by the Blood Immortal Sect.
