Chen Jue looked at the prince gratefully, and then he quickly prepared his equipment with his guards and galloped towards the Yunwu Mountains. The horse's hooves raised gusts of dust, leaving a string of rapid hoof prints on the official road, as if it was the drum of war struck by fate. Along the way, Chen Jue's mind was full of Chen Jia's figure. Her pale face, closed eyes and bloody body lingered like a nightmare. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every beat was accompanied by deep pain. The pain was like a sharp thorn, piercing his soul. The wind whistled past his ears, and the sound seemed to be Chen Jia's painful groan. Every gust of wind was like the urging of the god of death, driving him to gallop and rush towards the slim hope. His eyes looked forward firmly, which was his only direction, like a ship sailing at night staring at a lighthouse in the distance. He had only one thought in his mind: to find medicinal materials and save his sister. At this time, Chen Jia in the clinic was still struggling on the brink of life and death. That faint breath was Chen Jue's last hope and his desperate motivation, like a dying candle, swaying in the darkness.

They were on the galloping horses, and Chen Jue's body was shaking violently as the horses ran, but his eyes never wavered, as firm as a rock. The guards watched him from the side, full of admiration and worry. "Chen Jue, we will definitely find the herbs, don't worry too much." The guard tried to comfort him, his voice carrying a hint of forced calmness.

Chen Jue didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. His lips were still tight, and the lines were like a firm oath engraved on his face. His eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, as if a burning flame could dispel all darkness. The scene of Chen Jia being injured kept appearing in his mind. The blood gushed out like a spring, flashing a dazzling red light in the sun. The painful expression was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart. Every detail was imprinted on his heart like a branding iron, filling his heart with self-blame and pain. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect my sister well." Chen Jue said silently in his heart, tears rolling in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them flow down. He knew that now was not the time to be sad. Every tear could become a countdown to the passing of his sister's life. He wanted to use all his strength to find medicinal materials. That was the only salvation he could do.

As they approached the Yunwu Mountains, the sky was covered with dark clouds, like spilled ink, pressing down heavily, as if foreshadowing the difficulties and obstacles ahead. The outline of the mountain range was looming in the darkness, like a sleeping giant beast, exuding a dangerous aura, which spread quietly like cold tentacles. Chen Jue pulled the reins and looked at the mountains in front of him. There was no fear in his eyes, only determination to move forward. "Your Highness, let's go in." His voice was firm and decisive, like a huge bell, breaking the oppressive silence.

The guard nodded, and the two men dismounted and headed towards the Cloudy Mountains. As soon as they entered the mountains, a gloomy atmosphere hit them in the face. The atmosphere was like the cold wind blowing from an ancient tomb, carrying the smell of decay and death. The surrounding trees were lush and green, but gave people a sense of oppression. The branches intertwined with each other, like twisted arms, trying to stop their steps. The road under their feet was rugged and covered with gravel and thorns. Every step needed to be taken carefully, as if walking on a tightrope. One wrong step would lead to eternal damnation.

Chen Jue walked in front, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any corner that might hide danger. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon, able to see through all disguises. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass ahead, and the sound was particularly clear in the silent forest, like the footsteps of the god of death. Chen Jue immediately stopped and held the sword at his waist. The pattern on the hilt hurt his palm, but made him calmer. He whispered to the guard, "Your Highness, be careful, there is something." The guard also held his weapon tightly, and the two of them were on guard, breathing slowly and cautiously. A huge python emerged from the grass. Its body was as thick as a barrel, and its scales flashed coldly in the weak light, like countless cold eyes, spitting out its tongue and making a hissing sound, as if protesting to them. The sound was like the whisper of a devil, creepy.

"You beast, don't try to stop us!" Chen Jue roared, drew his sword and rushed towards the python. His sword skills were sharp, and every sword stabbed at the python's vitals. The blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistle. The python was not to be outdone. It twisted its body flexibly, and its movements were as smooth as waves, avoiding Chen Jue's attack. At the same time, it swept towards him with its huge tail, which brought a gust of fishy wind. Chen Jue dodged sideways and swung his sword to cut the python's tail. The sword collided with the scales, splashing a string of sparks. The guard also joined the battle. He attacked the python from the side, and the long spear in his hand was like a dragon out of the sea, piercing the python's abdomen. The two men fought a fierce battle with the python. The surrounding grass and trees were affected by their battle and broke and fell one after another.

During the battle, Chen Jue's mind kept reappearing Chen Jia's face, and her gentle smile illuminated his heart like the sun. "I must find the herbs and save my sister!" He shouted in his heart, and that shout was like a charge horn, inspiring him. The sword in his hand swung faster, and every move was full of the momentum of burning the boats. After a hard fight, they finally killed the python, but both of them suffered some minor injuries. Chen Jue's arm was scratched by the python's scales, and blood oozed out, staining his clothes red. The guard's leg was also swept by the python's tail, and there were some bruises.

"We must keep going. We cannot stop." Chen Jue panted and said, his eyes still firmly looking forward. That was the direction of the purple star grass and the snow wolf, and it was the light of hope for him to save Chen Jia. Every step was painful, but he was unaware of it. He only had one belief in his heart.

They trudged forward in the misty mountains, encountering all kinds of dangerous traps and ferocious beasts along the way. Once, they accidentally triggered a trap hidden under fallen leaves, and the trap clamped the foot of a guard at lightning speed. The guard screamed and his face turned pale in an instant. Chen Jue squatted down hurriedly and pried the clamp open with force. The guard's foot was already bleeding. "How are you? Can you still walk?" Chen Jue asked with concern. The guard gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I can do it. I can't hold you back." Chen Jue nodded, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, and simply bandaged the guard.

Continuing forward, they encountered another group of poisonous bees. The poisonous bees swarmed towards them like a dark cloud, and the buzzing sound was like the roar of the god of death. "Quick, find cover!" Chen Jue shouted. They quickly hid behind a boulder, but the poisonous bees still chased them. Chen Jue waved his sword, trying to drive away the poisonous bees, but the number of poisonous bees increased. A guard was stung by a poisonous bee and fell to the ground twitching. Chen Jue was anxious. He saw a stream not far away, "Everyone run to the stream and use the water to avoid the poisonous bees!" They ran to the stream and jumped into the water. The poisonous bees hovered on the water for a while before gradually dissipating.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Chen Jue and his guards did not back down. They had only one belief in their hearts: to find the herbs and save Chen Jia. Chen Jia in the clinic was still on the verge of life and death. Her weak light of life was the only guide for Chen Jue and his guards in this dark and dangerous journey. Although the light was weak, it was like a bright star, illuminating their way forward.

After walking for a while, they came to the edge of a steep cliff. Chen Jue looked up and saw that the cliff was so high that the top was almost invisible. The legendary purple star grass was on a cliff of this cliff. "We have to find a way to get up." Chen Jue looked at the cliff with a frown. The guards began to look for a climbing route. They found some rocks and vines on the cliff that could be used for support, but they looked very fragile. "Sir, this is too dangerous. These vines may not be able to bear our weight." A guard said worriedly. Chen Jue looked around and had no other choice. "We have no choice but to be careful."

Chen Jue took the lead and grabbed a vine and began to climb. He held the vine tightly with his hands, testing the firmness of the rock with every step. Just after climbing a distance, a rock suddenly loosened, and Chen Jue's body shook violently, almost falling down. His heart rose to his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. But he quickly stabilized his body and continued to climb up. The guards followed behind, climbing carefully. During the climbing process, gravel fell from time to time, increasing the difficulty of climbing.

After a difficult climb, they finally approached the middle of the cliff. The wind here was so strong that they could hardly stand. Chen Jue squinted his eyes and looked for traces of purple star grass on the cliff. Suddenly, he saw a purple light flashing in the crevice of a rock not far away. "There!" Chen Jue was delighted and increased his climbing speed. However, the way to the purple star grass was even more difficult and there was no place to gain leverage around. Chen Jue gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, jumped suddenly, and grabbed a protruding rock. His fingers dug into the cracks of the rock, and his feet looked for a foothold on the cliff. Finally, he successfully came to the place where the purple star grass grew. He carefully picked the purple star grass and put it in his arms, with a relieved smile on his face. "Sister, there is hope."

After getting the purple star grass, they began to look for the snow wolf. According to the clues, the snow wolf lives in a valley deep in the mountains. They headed towards the valley, becoming more vigilant along the way. There was a chill in the valley, and the snow around it never melted. "Everyone be careful, the snow wolf may be nearby." Chen Jue whispered.

Suddenly, a wolf howl broke the silence. Then, several snow wolves rushed out from all directions. The snow wolves were snow-white, their eyes were as cold as blue gems, and their fangs flashed coldly in the sun. "Prepare for battle!" Chen Jue shouted. He drew his sword and confronted the snow wolves. The snow wolves circled around them several times and then launched an attack. They were extremely fast and pounced on Chen Jue and others like white lightning. Chen Jue waved his sword and fought a desperate battle with the snow wolves. A guard was knocked down by a snow wolf, and Chen Jue rushed over and stabbed the snow wolf with a sword, repelling it. During the battle, Chen Jue was injured in many places, but he did not retreat. "For my sister, I must defeat them!" He roared in his heart.

After a fierce battle, they finally killed the snow wolf. Chen Jue panted tiredly, his body was covered with wounds, but his eyes were still firm. He quickly took out the lining of the snow wolf and put it together with the purple star grass. "Let's go, let's go back to save my sister!" He took the guards and embarked on the return journey. At this time, Chen Jia in the clinic was still fighting against death, and Chen Jue rushed back like a gust of wind with hope.
