Yun Tianmo looked at the wound on his hand in confusion, filled with doubts. Earlier, whether he was dodging the attacks from the Mysterious Energy or flying through those whirlpools, he had sustained some minor scratches, but they had only drained a bit of his Mental Power without leaving any marks on him. So why was it that now, Ouyang Zixin could leave such a noticeable wound on his hand?
"What did you do?" Yun Tianmo raised his eyes to look at Ouyang Zixin, but her face remained blank, as if she had no idea what he was asking. He sighed lightly and continued, "Little Woman, be good and come with me. You need to wake up quickly."
Ouyang Zixin looked at Yun Tianmo with a hint of attachment in her eyes but shook her head again without saying anything further.
"Mo Wang, the master is really not right."
"Yes, we need to find a way to convince her quickly; otherwise, my Mental Power won't hold out much longer."
"Who are you talking to?" Ouyang Zixin looked around; apart from Yun Tianmo, she saw no one else. Then she seemed to remember that there was someone called Nameless who referred to her as master. Right, she did have a servant residing in her Mind; she recalled it. "Why can't I see him? Nameless, where are you?"
As soon as Ouyang Zixin called for him, Nameless immediately responded, "Master, Nameless cannot appear in physical form within your Mind. Do you remember now? Hurry and go out with Mo Wang; if you don't treat that wound soon, it will become troublesome."
The two urged her together, but Ouyang Zixin remained unmoved. This made Yun Tianmo consider forcibly taking her away, but he was quickly dissuaded by Nameless. If he forcibly extracted Ouyang Zixin's Mental Power from her Mind, it would likely make it even harder for her to wake up.
Just when the two were at a loss for what to do, Yun Tianmo's Mental Power shrank a little more. Time was truly pressing; how could they help Ouyang Zixin leave this Mind center and restore her consciousness?
“Seventh Prince. Look.” The shadow guard seemed to have noticed something unusual and no longer guarded the unconscious Nangong Tuo, quickly walking towards where Ouyang Zixin lay.
Yun Tianying also turned his gaze in that direction. He saw that the glowing areas on Ouyang Zixin's wounds were gradually dimming, as if the light had been significantly consumed. He approached, extending his palm above her wounds to sense for a moment, and uncertainly said, “It seems that something is being absorbed by her…”
“Look at Master's hand…” The shadow guard pointed at Yun Tianmo, who was still standing nearby. A wound had appeared on his hand at some point, resembling the wounds on Ouyang Zixin, but without any glow.
How could Yun Tianmo's body suddenly have a wound? Could it be that his Mental Power encountered some danger within Ouyang Zixin?
A trace of worry flashed in Yun Tianying's eyes; he could not wake Yun Tianmo at this moment. They could only wait for him to awaken, and they would have to wait until then to ask about the origin of his wound. “Just keep an eye on your Master. There’s nothing we can do right now.”
“Yes!”

“What exactly is in the Millennium Ruins?” Nan Gong Yao sat on the throne above the Main Hall, while below stood the Zhao Family Head with his eldest son, Zhao Feihong. Both bowed their heads in the center, waiting for Nan Gong Yao to speak.
After emerging from the Millennium Ruins, Zhao Feihong had indeed mentioned some situations, but his explanations were vague and did not clarify what exactly was inside the Millennium Ruins. Of course, this was not due to any intention to conceal information; rather, he had limited experience in the area. He had barely entered what seemed to be a hidden Underground Palace, only to be transported out due to carelessness.
Hearing Nan Gong Yao's question, Zhao Feihong forced a smile and turned to his father, hoping for some hints. Unfortunately, his father did not even look at him. Feeling helpless, Zhao Feihong bowed to Nan Gong Yao and respectfully said, “Reporting to you, Sovereign, the interior of the Millennium Ruins is vast, like a maze; everyone travels different paths but should ultimately reach a common Underground Palace.”
Zhao Feihong honestly recounted all the paths he had taken and the people he had encountered in the Millennium Ruins, including rescuing the Third Prince from a rock wall. This was not an attempt to take credit immediately; he merely wanted to assure Nan Gong Yao that he was not hiding anything. His time spent in the Millennium Ruins was only about four days, nearly two of which were spent with the Third Prince. If Nan Gong Yao suspected him of concealing information, then when the Third Prince emerged from the ruins, everything would be revealed, making any lies unnecessary.
“Oh? The Underground Palace? Are you saying that Tuoer is currently within that Underground Palace?” Nan Gong Yao leaned slightly forward, looking at Zhao Feihong with interest. If what he said was true, then the Underground Palace might indeed be where they could find the Fortune Day, suggesting that there might still be hope for Tuoer.
Two people have already been teleported out of the Millennium Ruins, and both of them are unclear about what exactly is inside the Millennium Ruins. It seems that neither of them is lying about this. Nan Gong Yao doesn't really suspect Zhao Feihong; after all, their family is still in the Exiled Nation, and he likely doesn't have the courage to act recklessly.
When Zhao Feihong heard Nan Gong Yao ask about the Third Prince, he quickly nodded and said, "When I came out of the Millennium Ruins, the Third Prince was indeed in the Underground Palace. At that time, there were also two princes from Cloud Nation and one of their shadow guards, while everyone else was from our Exiled Nation. Besides my sister Zhao Feiyu, there was also the young lady from Xuan Shi Mansion, Ouyang Zixin."
"That girl was there too." Nan Gong Yao squinted his eyes, recalling the five elders from Bai Clan who had come to the Capital of the Departed Nation for Ouyang Zixin. He didn't expect that this girl would also be in the Underground Palace; it seems her luck is quite good. However, if she was indeed in the Underground Palace, then the requests made by those five elders would need to be reconsidered.
In Nan Gong Yao's eyes, Ouyang Zixin is the daughter of the National Guardian Mystic, which makes her one of his people from Exiled Nation. If she obtained any Fortune Day or treasures when coming out of the Millennium Ruins, then the interests of Exiled Nation should be prioritized over those of Bai Clan. What does Bai Clan amount to? Even if they offered their family’s resources in exchange, they are merely a secluded family that has been hidden for many years; Nan Gong Yao does not take them seriously.
While Nan Gong Yao was deep in thought, Zhao Feihong contemplated whether to put in a good word for Ouyang Zixin in front of him but was shot down by a glare from his father. He had to give up on that idea, though he felt unwilling in his heart. (To be continued.)
