Chapter 587 Is there a barrier or restriction set up in front of us?
This sudden turn of events left the three-headed dragon completely bewildered.
"This...this is a barrier set up in front of us?"
The three-headed dragon sermon rang out, its face filled with astonishment.
He had originally planned to take advantage of Yao Ji's severe injuries to kill her.
Unexpectedly, a barrier had been set up ahead, blocking their pursuit.
"Who could it be?"
"Could it be...could it be related to that mysterious power that suddenly appeared within me?"
Upon thinking of this, the three-headed dragon couldn't help but shudder.
Previously, he had forcibly absorbed a small portion of the power of the Palace-Suppressing Dragon Pearl, but he was still no match for Yao Ji.
Just as it was about to be suppressed by Yao Ji, a strange and invisible force suddenly entered the body of the three-headed dragon.
It was with the support of that power that the Three-Headed Dragon was finally able to turn the tide and severely injure Yao Ji.
Right now, the scholar has saved Yao Ji, and during their retreat, a restriction has blocked the three-headed dragon's pursuit.
After a moment's thought, he connected these events together with the three-headed dragon.
Before the three-headed dragon could think any further, the power that had entered its body suddenly detached and vanished.
"Well……"
The three-headed dragon let out a muffled, painful cry.
Just now, thanks to that force, his injuries were suppressed.
Now that power has suddenly withdrawn, the injuries inflicted on the Three-Headed Flood Dragon by Yao Ji have flared up immediately.
"snort!"
"Yao Ji, you're lucky this time!"
"Once I've completely refined and absorbed the power of that palace-guarding dragon pearl, I'll find an opportunity to deal with you properly!"
After saying this, a resolute glint flashed in the eyes of the three-headed dragon.
He knew very well that the most urgent task was to find a place to rest and recover from his injuries.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the mouth of the Guanjiang River outside the mountains and forests.
"Let's stay here and recover for now!"
Without further ado, the three-headed dragon flashed into the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Just as the three-headed dragon hid at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, Niu Ben was still sitting cross-legged on a boulder atop that mountain.
He had naturally witnessed everything that had just happened.
"They shielded the heavenly secrets, channeled power into the three-headed dragon, and set up a protective barrier to stop it from pursuing Yao Ji!"
Niu Ben muttered to himself, then turned his gaze westward and said:
"These Western religious saints really... went to great lengths!"
"I just don't know if they're after Yang Jian, or something else?"
At this point, Niu Ben frowned slightly. He could sense that the Western Sect was behind this, but he was not quite sure of their true intentions.
"That's enough!"
"Let's wait and see!"
After a moment's thought, Niu Ben spoke softly, then continued to keep an eye on Yao Ji at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.
Others might not know this, but Niu Ben was very clear about it.
Later, Yao Ji will develop feelings for the scholar who saved her, and after they get married, they will have three children, one of whom is Yang Jian.
……
Meanwhile, the scholar named Yang Tianyou had already carried Yao Ji back to his residence.
After placing Yao Ji on the bed, the previously unconscious Yao Ji slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Yao Ji wake up, Yang Tianyou quickly asked with concern:
"Young lady, are you alright?"
Yao Ji was extremely weak, her lips moved incessantly, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
She had previously suffered severe injuries at the hands of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon.
Seeing that Yao Ji was unable to speak, Yang Tianyou understood that she was seriously injured.
"How could the injury be so severe?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Tianyou sighed helplessly and then said:
"Young lady, you are badly injured."
"I...I'll go gather herbs for you!"
After saying this, Yang Tianyou didn't linger and hurriedly left.
Before long, only Yao Ji was left lying on the bed in the room.
Her face was deathly pale, and she was barely breathing.
Despite this, Yao Ji was still thinking about the great battle with the three-headed dragon.
"How could this happen?"
"The three-headed dragon shouldn't be that powerful."
"Even if he forcibly absorbed the power of the Dragon Pearl, he wouldn't increase his strength that much in such a short time."
Yao Ji pondered silently.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the three-headed dragon probably had some unknown secrets.
After much deliberation, Yao Ji let out a long sigh and murmured to herself:
"That's enough!"
"The most important thing right now is to recover from the injuries."
"In my current state, if I were to encounter that beast again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for him."
Thinking it over, Yao Ji composed herself and began to rest and recover from her injuries.
Not long after, Yang Tianyou returned from collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains.
He first went to the room to check on Yao Ji, and saw that her face was much rosier than before, which put him at ease.
Then, Yang Tianyou didn't delay and hurriedly went to brew medicine for Yao Ji.
Before long, Yang Tianyou presented a bowl of herbal soup to Yao Ji.
"girl."
"This is a medicinal soup I specially prepared for you; it will be good for your injuries."
"I...I'll feed it to you!"
As he spoke, Yang Tianyou got up and walked to the bedside, then helped Yao Ji up and gave her the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Yao Ji's injuries improved somewhat.
"Who are you?"
She asked aloud.
Upon hearing Yao Ji's question, Yang Tianyou quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then bowed deeply to Yao Ji.
"I am Yang Tianyou, a mere scholar. I greet you, young lady!"
Seeing Yang Tianyou's polite demeanor, Yao Ji's cold expression softened slightly.
She then stayed at Yang Tianyou's residence for the time being.
Firstly, it was to recover from his injuries, and secondly, it was to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon.
Once his injuries have fully healed, he will go find the three-headed dragon again and be determined to capture it.
……
Gradually, Yao Ji's injuries began to heal under Yang Tianyou's meticulous care.
She was originally a Great Luo Golden Immortal with a powerful physical body. If it weren't for that strange power that injured her, ordinary injuries would be nothing to worry about.
Yet that power carried a terrifying Daoist aura that penetrated deep into one's very bones.
Even with her cultivation level, she would need to rest and recuperate for a long time.
And so it went, day after day, month after month.
Yang Tianyou gathered herbs and prepared decoctions every day, serving tea and water with utmost care.
Although he did not know Yao Ji's identity, he saw that she was extremely beautiful and had an otherworldly temperament, and he had already secretly developed feelings for her.
Yao Ji was initially only grateful, but over time she developed feelings for him.
In particular, Yang Tianyou's gentle and kind nature made Yao Ji feel a sense of goodwill towards him.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.
Yang Tianyou was reading in the courtyard, while Yao Ji sat by the window watching his back.
The moonlight shone on his shoulders, gilding him with a layer of silvery radiance.
Yao Ji was so engrossed in watching that she suddenly felt that this mortal man named Yang Tianyou seemed to be more attractive to her than the high and mighty gods in the Heavenly Court.
