The Glory of Noxus

Chapter 211 The undercurrent in Xiongdu

As dawn breaks, the capital of Demacia gradually wakes up.

In the cave room, a dense breath of life seemed to ripple in the air.

Huo Jixing slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils reflected a green light.

He could clearly feel the energy of Donghua Yimu in his body. After a night of meditation, it had become more pure and solid.

Huo Jixing lowered his head and stretched out his hands as if making fists.

It's like it can easily crush the air and penetrate space.

"Phew, the feeling of power!"

Huo Jixing let out a breath. This time of deep meditation allowed him to understand more deeply the mystery and power of Donghua Yimu's Qi.

At the same time, he also has a more thorough understanding of the boundaries of legend.

If it was a guess before, it is now certain that after the four basic attribute points reach 20 points, you can enter the legendary realm.

This made him more determined and full of expectations and longing for the future.

Huo Jixing stood up, went to the sound transmission tube in the room, and called Aset over.

After returning from Sona's concert last night, he casually asked Francis for news about the war at the Gate of Sorrow.

After waiting for a moment, a crisp knock on the door sounded.

Huo Jixing opened the door and saw Asset holding breakfast. There was a sealed letter on the plate.

"Good morning, Lord Huo Jixing." Asset bowed and saluted.

"Good morning."

Huo Jixing smiled and spoke, turning his body sideways to let Asette enter the room.

Just entered the room.

Asette's pupils tightened, and he immediately felt that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

The air seems to be filled with the fresh smell of grass and trees, and a faint hint of green remains can be seen.

He only stayed for a while, and felt instantly refreshed and exhausted.

"This is intelligence information compiled by Sir Francis."

"About the War at the Mourngate."

Assett put down the plate in his hand, took out the letter, put it aside alone, and then left the room.

Huo Jixing opened the letter while eating breakfast.

The War at Mourn's Gate.

It was a war between the Noxus Empire and the Kingdom of Demacia under the border.

Under the strategic deployment of the Trefari Council, the Noxus Empire fully retreated its border war forces.

But the Kingdom of Demacia wanted to change its defense and take this opportunity to counterattack the Noxus Empire.

A direct battle broke out between the two sides at the border city of Gate of Sorrow.

The Western War Group of the Noxus Empire mobilized the strength of many war groups and devoted themselves to this war.

The Kingdom of Demacia is led by the Demacian Prince Jarvan IV, who leads the Border Legion, intending to break through the defensive position of the Western Battle Group.

The end result was that Prince Jiawen was deeply surrounded.

As for the Gate of Sorrow, they had to seek help from Xiongdu.

Jarvan III loved his son so much that he prepared to send the Dauntless Vanguard to the Gate of Mourn.

However, it happened that Tiana Crownguard had just been promoted to Grand Marshal, and the Dauntless Vanguard Legion had not yet decided on a new sword captain.

Jiawen III thought over and over again and decided to let his best friend——

Lord Barrett of the Bouvier family.

Lead the Dauntless Vanguard Legion to the Gate of Mourn to rescue Prince Jarvan.

It's just that the Kingdom of Demacia underestimated the determination of the Noxus Empire's western battle group.

Although the Trifari Council decided to shrink its strength, the Western Battle Group could not disobey the order.

However, the Western Battle Group of the Noxus Empire finally decided to defeat the border forces of the Kingdom of Demacia in one battle to prevent the subsequent situation from eroding.

With the combined efforts of the Noxian Empire's Western Wargroup.

Barrett was killed directly in action, and the Dauntless Vanguard Army suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Prince Jarvan broke through the encirclement and returned to the capital of Demacia safely.

"Tsk, tsk, that's very interesting."

Huo Jixing swallowed the food in his mouth, his eyes twinkling.

During the War at the Mourngate, Barret of the Bouvier family was killed, and Prince Jarvan of the Lightshield family was deeply surrounded.

At the end of the intelligence, Francis highlighted.

The Bouvier family and the Crownguard family are the most important supporters of the Light Shield family.

To be honest, Huo Jixing has seen the strength of the soldiers of the Fearless Vanguard Legion.

It is much stronger than Cui Fali's army.

Under the protection of such a powerful force, it is somewhat unbelievable that his regiment commander Barrett was killed directly on the front line.

"And Sona, I didn't expect that she would become the successor of the Bouvier family."

After Barrett was killed in battle, Kashina, the first heir of the Bouvier family, gave up inheriting the Bouvier family for unknown reasons.

As an adopted daughter, Sona became the heir with the support of Barrett's wife Lestara.

"The situation in the capital of Demacia has completely turned into a quagmire after the assassination of Jarvan III."

Huo Jixing tapped his fingers on the table and looked away from the letter.

Many forces secretly stirred up the tide in the capital, intending to break the balance of the Kingdom of Demacia.

"And Catalina."

He thought about Catalina who was seriously injured, and felt a little confused in his heart.

What kind of injury would cause a hero to be trapped in treatment for a long time and unable to leave Xiongdu.

Because it has been several months since Jarvan III was assassinated.

"No rush, no rush."

Huo Jixing whispered softly and looked to his right side, a red-gold light rising in his eyes.

The clouds representing Catalina are not gray, indicating that they are not life-threatening.

Then he continued to enter the cultivation state.

Time gradually passed, five days later.

Huo Jixing sat in the room, with red-gold and turquoise light flowing around him.

On the ground under the bed, the snow-white Poro sat upright in a classy manner, with a little light falling down and blending into the plush body.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The snow-white Poro suddenly opened his eyes and shouted urgently at Huo Jixing.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing seemed to be aware of it. He opened his eyes slightly and stretched his spirit. He noticed that the atmosphere in the cave was a bit solemn and there was a loud noise.

"problem occurs?"

Huo Jixing casually picked up the snow-white poro, stuffed it into his arms, and walked out the door.

In the center of the cave, under the bright yellow candlelight.

Francis looked at the ground with a gloomy expression, surrounded by people from the Reiser Guard Secret Office.

There is also a specialized medical doctor who is half-kneeling on the ground, rescuing a person covered in blood, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Asset?"

Huo Jixing walked over and recognized the dying man lying on the ground.

We hadn't seen each other for a few days, but we ended up in this miserable state.

The inner armor was damaged, and there was a hole about five feet wide in the chest, with almost visible organs.

In addition, there were many scars on the arms and legs, and the body was stained red with blood.

"Lord Huo Jixing."

Francis spoke respectfully, his deep old face full of anger.

"What's going on?" Huo Jixing asked.

"Asset fetched medicine for Catalina, but on his way back, he was attacked by a mysterious man." Francis answered.

"Fortunately, our people were on alert around him and took advantage of the fact that the other party was not familiar with the surrounding environment and rescued Aset back."

Huo Jixing has something on his mind, a traitor? Or is there a problem with the drug channel?

Francis seemed to see what Huo Jixing was thinking and said coldly.

"There is a problem with the drug channels."

"Someone in the capital is eyeing the injured Lady Katrina."

Huo Jixing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and after looking at each other with Francis, his eyes became solemn. Someone is secretly investigating the assassination of Jarvan III.

And he is not an official member of the Kingdom of Demacia.

"I'm sorry, Lord Francis."

The medical doctor who was half-kneeling on the ground stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his head slightly with a pale expression.

Suddenly, the noise disappeared, and a dull atmosphere filled the cave.

Everyone looked at Asset on the ground with sad eyes.

"Uh, let me do it."

Huo Jixing looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Asset's body.

Although he was almost out of breath, the dark gray clouds in his eyes meant that there was still a chance to save him.

"Lord Huo Jixing?"

Francis suddenly turned his head and looked at Huo Jixing, his eyes a little surprised.

According to intelligence information, Huo Jixing is good at the power of fire and does not have any rune magic power for healing.

Huo Jixing pushed Francis away, walked to Assette, and squatted down.

"Tsk, how miserable!"

Aset's situation reminded him of his earlier miserable situation in the Freljord.

Without any hesitation, Huo Jixing stretched out his hand and placed it on Asset's chest. A green light glowed, and the energy of Donghua Yimu flowed along the scar.

"This"

Francis's pupils tightened and he looked horrified.

Not only him, but also the surrounding healers and the staff of the Lesser Guard Secretariat all had the same expression.

within their field of vision.

The horrific scars all over Asset's body healed quickly after being baptized by the green light.

Especially the location of the chest where you can almost see the organs.

Visible to the naked eye, pale flesh and blood is regenerated, and red blood flows, awakening dormant organs.

Huo Jixing carefully observed Asette's condition and nodded gently: "It's not bad."

After lighting up the Kangsu Star and the Disu Star, you will gain the innate ability to control the wind and rain.

The combination of hundreds of medicines and the essence of mountain forest vegetation is enough to heal Aset's injuries.

"Cough! Cough!"

A slight cough sounded.

Asset slowly opened his eyes, and a touch of blood appeared on his pale face.

He looked around and saw Huo Jixing squatting down, as well as Francis and many friends surrounding him.

He was a little surprised at first, and then he came to his senses.

"The drug dealer we cooperate with has a problem. When we come back."

Aset's tone was urgent, but he stopped mid-sentence.

He immediately looked at his body and looked confused when he saw the blood-stained clothes and inner armor.

After a cup of tea.

After Francis solved his doubts, Asette walked up to Huo Jixing and saluted solemnly before he could do anything.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo Jixing."

"You're welcome." Huo Jixing waved his hand, completely indifferent.

"Please take care of me during this time."

"It's different. It's my job to take care of you." Asset's face turned red, he opened his mouth and explained.

"Go clean it up."

Huo Jixing patted Asset's shoulder lightly and walked towards Francis' room.

Just now, Francis drove everyone away and came over to say something, saying that he had something to ask for.

Opening the door, Huo Jixing saw Francis pacing in the room.

"Lord Huo Jixing."

Seeing Huo Jixing's arrival, Francis bowed and made a show of his gestures.

"Is there something important?"

When Huo Jixing was curing Aset before, he saw this guy looking at him very fieryly.

He knew that his exposed abilities were indeed shocking to the world.

But now, he is no longer the same person who just came to Valoran.

His identity and strength are enough for him to ignore most people.

"It's about Lady Catalina." Francis spoke directly without any delay.

"As you heard, our drug pipeline has been completely exposed and cannot be used."

"But Lady Katarina's injury has not healed yet, so..."

"You want me to treat Catalina." Huo Jixing nodded slightly to express his understanding. After pondering for a while, he spoke.

"I have no problem. What does Katarina say?"

"I just contacted her, and Lady Catalina said it's okay." Francis replied.

"Okay, now?" Huo Jixing asked.

Since he showed his terrifying healing ability, he had already considered Katarina's injury.

Huo Jixing was also a little curious as to what kind of injury caused the delay for such a long time.

Arriving outside Katarina's room again.

Francis pushed the door open and went in, followed closely by Huo Jixing.

The familiar smell of blood, and the unpleasant smell of herbs.

But this time, Huo Jixing found that the smell of herbs in the room was stronger, as if it had been used multiple times.

"Can't you suppress the injury?"

Thanks to the star of Kangsu, he is very sensitive to the breath of hundreds of medicines.

After Francis led Huo Jixing in, he saluted Catalina on the bed and turned to leave.

Huo Jixing and Catalina were left alone.

The bright yellow light flickered, and Huo Jixing looked intently at Catalina, who was sitting on the bed.

Compared to before, Catalina looked paler, almost bloodless.

Even her aura was much weaker.

"looking at what?"

Catalina saw Huo Jixing staring at her, her black eyes narrowed, and a fierce look gradually appeared.

"The injury is much worse."

Huo Jixing didn't care about Catalina's attitude and walked forward.

From previous contact with Catalina, I understood her cold personality.

"Can you see where the injury is?"

Huo Jixing had just finished speaking.

Suddenly.

An atmosphere of silence gradually emerged between the two, as Catalina and Huo Jixing just looked at each other.

Until Catalina frowned, a look of pain appeared in her pupils, and her body tilted unnaturally.

"Ok?"

Catalina turned around and saw a strange arm on her shoulder.

She almost subconsciously pulled out the dagger from her waist.

"Can you see where the injury is?" Huo Jixing continued to ask repeatedly.

Catalina met Huo Jixing's calm eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she pointed to the bottom of her collarbone.

Then she took off her silver shoulder pads with a little effort and took off the black clothes on her shoulders.

Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and his pupils trembled slightly.

It's not because of the delicate collarbone that appears in front of you, nor is it the touch of white that comes into view.

Instead, it was a hideous scar near the snow-white chest.

"Devil power?"
