Chapter 104 Counterattack
"Don't be nervous. We're not murderers who kill anyone we see." Gu Chi smiled harmlessly and said, "Are you being hunted?"
The woman in plain clothes didn't sense any malice or murderous intent from them, and her guard was lowered considerably. She said, "I am a disciple of the Qingfu Sect, and I am being hunted by the demonic cultivators of the Liyue Pavilion. I beg you to help me..."
Gu Chi interrupted her and said, "Stop, I'm not interested in your background or experiences. Just answer a few questions and I'll give you the elixir to heal your wounds."
The woman in plain clothes was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "What do you want to ask, fellow Daoist?"
"Is the Qian Kingdom still at war with the neighboring Jiuli Dynasty?" Gu Chi asked.
The woman in plain clothes thought for a moment and said, "It's been over a hundred years since we last fought."
"So, there was still fighting going on over a hundred years ago? Who was the winner in the end?"
"It was our Qian Nation that won."
Hearing this, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog were both a little surprised. Qian Kingdom actually won? How did they win?
The plain-clothed girl also looked at the man and the dog with a look of surprise. It had been so many years since this happened, and there was still someone who didn't know about it? Was this fellow Taoist really too out of touch with the news?
Gu Chi just smiled and explained, "When I heard that the two countries were at war, I took my big black dog and hid in the mountains for refuge. I haven't had any contact with other people in these years, so I don't know what's happening in the outside world."
The girl in plain clothes expressed her understanding. At that time, the border of Qian Kingdom was breached, and many people were worried that the Jiuli Dynasty would completely annex Qian Kingdom in one fell swoop, so they all hid in the mountains for refuge.
At that time, their Qingfu Sect also secretly escorted some disciples with good talents and physiques to the primitive wilderness where no one had ever set foot, as the spark of inheritance.
"Speaking of which, hasn't our Qian Kingdom always been in decline before? Even the border was breached, how come we suddenly won again?" Gu Chi asked doubtfully, feeling very curious about this.
The big black dog also pricked up its ears, waiting for the next words from the woman in plain clothes.
"It's strange to say, but in the previous wars, it was indeed our Qian Nation that was defeated by the Jiuli Dynasty, leading to the border being breached and us ceding territory in exchange for peace."
Having said this, a look of sadness appeared on the pale face of the girl in plain clothes.
When the border of Qian State was breached in the past, how many people of Qian State became prisoners and were subjected to inhumane treatment and torture?
Her mother was an ordinary mortal in Yingli City, a border town in the past. When the border was breached, she had nowhere to escape and was nearly raped in the street by a cultivator from the Jiuli Dynasty. It was a mysterious man who came to her rescue and sent her mother out of Yingli City, thus avoiding the disaster.
"Perhaps it was because of the numerous crimes committed by the Jiuli Dynasty against the people of our Qian Kingdom that completely angered the imperial court and the ten major immortal sects. Soon after, they sounded the clarion call for a counterattack against the Jiuli Dynasty!"
At this point, the tired look in the plain-clothed girl's eyes was replaced by excitement and enthusiasm.
"This time, with the united efforts of our Qian Nation, we not only regained all the lost territory, but also seized a large area of the Jiuli Dynasty's territory!"
The girl in plain clothes clenched her fists and raised her head with great pride, saying, "I also participated in the battle when the Qian Kingdom counterattacked the Jiuli Dynasty. I even killed three Jiuli Dynasty cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage by myself!"
"Very impressive!" Gu Chi gave a thumbs up and praised, but at the same time he was also surprised that the Qian Kingdom actually counterattacked the Jiuli Dynasty and seized a large area of the Jiuli Dynasty's territory with a strong momentum?
This is truly fantastical. Isn't it said that the Jiuli Dynasty, with its ancient Taoist traditions, has far more people than the Qian Kingdom? How did they win?
Previously, the ten major immortal sects did not contribute. Could it be that this time, the Taoist families from the Jiuli Dynasty also did not contribute?
Gu Chi couldn't figure out the reason behind this, and she didn't understand the game between the big powers.
"Old Black, we missed it!" Gu Chi secretly used the power of his spiritual consciousness to convey a message to the big black dog.
The big black dog also felt regretful. It was such a pity that they did not participate in the Qian Kingdom's counterattack against the Jiuli Dynasty!
"Thank you for telling us this. We grew these healing herbs ourselves, and they're quite effective." Gu Chi took out dozens of healing herbs from his Heaven Swallowing Bag and handed them to the plain-clothed girl, saying, "When your injuries are almost healed, hurry back to the sect. It's time for us to leave too. See you later."
Gu Chiji made a mistake and flew into the sky with his sword, carrying the big black dog.
The girl in plain clothes looked at the healing elixir in her hand, then looked up at the two figures flying away rapidly in the sky. As if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly took out a white Taoist robe with blood stains from her storage bag.
"The aura is exactly the same, it's them!" The girl in plain clothes widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief.
In the past, the border of Qian Kingdom was breached, and a woman in Yingli City was nearly raped in the street. Fortunately, she was rescued by a mysterious monk and teleported out of the city.
When they were about to leave, the mysterious monk saw that the woman was naked, so he took off his Taoist robe and used it to cover her body.
Afterwards, the woman married her lover and had a daughter. She often told him: "There is a benefactor in our family. If you are lucky enough to meet her again in the future, you must repay her and thank her well..."
And the woman who was rescued in Yingli City that year was her mother!
The woman in plain clothes looked up suddenly, but the man and the dog had already gone away.
Her mother also didn't know the name or origin of the benefactor. She only knew that she was a young woman with a big black dog.
At first, the woman in plain clothes didn't think much when she saw Gu Chi and the big black dog. It was not until they left that she suddenly remembered what her mother had said to her.
She looked at the Taoist robe in her hand, which had been washed very clean but still had faint traces of blood. The remaining scent on it was exactly the same as that of the woman just now. It must be the same person!
"Mother, I met the benefactor you mentioned, but... I didn't recognize her at first." The woman in plain clothes murmured, about to cry, she was very regretful.
Why didn't I recognize my benefactor at the first time, and only remembered him after he left?
"I didn't even ask my benefactor's name. Where am I supposed to find him in this vast sea of people?"
The woman in plain clothes sat on the ground in a daze for a long time. This time she missed the chance to meet her mother's savior, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to meet him again in the future.
……
One month later.
In the Snowy State, thousands of miles of ice and snow are covering tens of thousands of miles. The towering snow-capped mountains pierce the sky, and it is spectacular and majestic when you look around.
You can vaguely see palaces and towers built of crystal and ice standing on those snow-capped mountains, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight.
Even in the flying snow clouds, there are palaces, pavilions and islands hidden, connected by colorful divine bridges across the sky.
