Chapter 129 Jie Jie Jie
Wang Chen stepped out from the crumbling ruins of the rocky mountain amidst the radiant light. His giant form lasted only a moment before he suddenly shrank inch by inch, returning to his original size. Holding the unconscious Shen Hanyan in his arms, he stumbled as he landed on the ground, kneeling on one knee. Seeing the shocked Leng Huan and the other two, he didn't have time to say anything before everything went black, and he and Shen Hanyan collapsed into a heap.
Leng Huan: "..."
She didn't have time to think about anything else; saving the person was the priority!
However, before she could reach out to check on Wang Chen, Fu Xun grabbed Wang Chen's hand first and crudely probed it with his spiritual energy. After examining it, he frowned and said, "Senior Sister, it seems that he forcibly broke some kind of restriction, causing his meridians to rupture and resulting in severe backlash injuries."
"Take care of him first... Ouch, I can't separate them..." Leng Huan naturally helped Shen Hanyan up, but found that he couldn't pry them apart. Shen Hanyan was held tightly in Wang Chen's arms and couldn't be pried open. Helpless, Leng Huan had no choice but to hold her wrist and probe with his spiritual energy.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she had simply exhausted her spiritual energy and that her meridians were bound by some kind of restriction, preventing her spiritual energy from circulating. She dared not rashly break this restriction.
“Fu Xun, she’s under a restriction,” Leng Huan withdrew his hand, and helped Shen Hanyan straighten her disheveled clothes. “Can you remove it?”
Although Fu Xun disliked Wang Chen a bit, he didn't care about anything else now. He channeled a stream of spiritual energy into Wang Chen's back to stabilize his injuries, and then roughly pinched his chin and stuffed a few healing pills into his mouth. Wang Chen almost choked while he was unconscious. If he woke up, he would definitely not be afraid of Fu Xun's identity and would curse him directly.
"Let me see." Hearing Leng Huan call him, and having just finished dealing with Wang Chen, Fu Xun placed a hand on Shen Hanyan's shoulder and discovered that it was a special kind of restriction, a cold and sinister net. "It's actually a demonic technique."
Fu Xun's cultivation was high, and he could easily break the restriction. His profound energy possessed a fierce lightning attribute, making it the nemesis of such restrictions, which quickly dissolved. Leng Huan then channeled spiritual energy into Shen Hanyan until her spiritual energy could circulate on its own. Feeling that her skin was icy to the touch, Leng Huan also fed her two Rejuvenating Pills and Healing Pills.
Looking again, it became clear that both of them were dressed in tattered clothes. Shen Hanyan was alright, with only more external injuries, while Wang Chen had most of his shoulders exposed, covered in blood due to ruptured tendons. Now, his condition had stabilized, and his skin had finally stopped bleeding.
He'll probably have to go into seclusion to heal his injuries now.
Leng Huan had no idea what had happened to them that made them so disheveled. She was willing to wait until they woke up before asking them. The two divided their tasks: she stayed behind to take care of the wounded, as it was not advisable to move them at this time, while Fu Xun went to check the situation at the rocky mountain ruins.
-
"Senior sister,"
He returned in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. "It's the demon race. The mountain's interior is full of excavated tunnels, with dense demonic energy underground, and remnants of a special array's foundation."
Leng Huan was already mentally prepared; it was indeed the work of the demons. She asked, "Is the formation in Nanshan City the Seven Absolute Devouring Formation?"
Fu Xun looked at the ruins: "Exactly. Absorbing the life force of flesh and blood living beings, and then transporting them down there through a teleportation array to an unknown destination, the blood sacrifice array hidden in the mountains is probably very inappropriate. This matter is not simple, and it is not just the work of a single demon or evil cult."
Leng Huan feigned a sigh: "Who could have done this? Or maybe not a human, but a demon? Hmm, I remember my clan records that this kind of large formation is a common tactic used by the demon race. They create and kill living beings to sacrifice blood, gathering all the evil energy in the world to trigger the Hongyuan sealing barrier with external force... Hiss, do you think it could be another demon conspiracy?"
Since she said that, Long Aotian should have noticed, right?
Fu Xun frowned. "What Senior Sister said makes sense. The Yun Clan also has similar records. If that's true, then there's more than just this one place."
At that moment, a slightly husky, clear voice rang out: "Indeed, there's more than just this one place..."
The two turned their heads at the same time; it was Shen Hanyan who had woken up.
-
While still half-asleep, Shen Hanyan vaguely heard people talking, and the voices sounded somewhat familiar. She opened her eyes and saw two familiar figures.
Listening to their discussion about the Demon Clan, Shen Hanyan chimed in with a comment. She then tried to sit up, but couldn't move. When she looked around, she realized she was still hugging Wang Chen, who was unconscious.
Under their gazes, Shen Hanyan could only give an awkward smile, then struggled to prop her head up and whispered in Wang Chen's ear, "Hey, Wang Chen? Wang Chen! Brother Chen...we're alright now, please let me go..."
After saying this, she moved again and felt Wang Chen loosen his grip. Only then did Shen Hanyan feel relieved. She got up to check that his injuries had stabilized. Golden Core cultivators are not that fragile. After his spiritual energy returned to normal, it began to circulate in his meridians. He had taken high-grade pills, and the medicinal power was repairing his damaged meridians.
He then took out his secret-made Spring Breeze Recovery Pill and fed it to him. Only then did he grab a few spirit stones to replenish his spiritual power. When he turned to Leng Huan and the other person, he belatedly realized that he was a little embarrassed.
Noticing that she was a little embarrassed, Leng Huan considerately started the conversation: "Han Yan, how are you feeling? The temperature here is extremely low..." Although Fu Xun had just taken the time to light a campfire, she still felt cold. Her face was a little pale, and her robe was torn.
Shen Hanyan shook her head: "Thank you all, I'm fine." Her spiritual power had recovered, and her body was no longer cold.
Leng Huan asked the question he was most concerned about: "What did you encounter? You just said there was more than one such place."
Shen Hanyan: "Well, Wang Chen said you would arrive soon, so we went to Nanshan City to check first, and then we went out to meet you... I didn't expect the news to spread from the city to here. Unfortunately, we ran into a few powerful demons..." Then we fought and were captured.
Leng Huan is now quite curious about Wang Chen's transformation item; it seems really awesome!
To the locals, it was just a huge Dharma image with terrifying power, or a magic weapon or something. For example, Fu Xun thought it was just the effect of some powerful magic weapon, and after the initial shock, he didn't feel anything.
But Leng Huan was the one who was truly shocked. Who can understand the shock of witnessing the giant of light descend into reality?
Although it only lasted a few breaths, it was still shocking enough!
Leng Huan: "Then, how did you leave that Blood Pool Cold Cave?"
Shen Hanyan shook her head regretfully: "I just felt a dazzling white light suddenly explode in front of my eyes, and then I knew nothing more... I don't know what he did."
Leng Huan's expression was inscrutable: "...When we arrived, it was as if the mountains collapsed and the earth split open. Fellow Daoist Wang Chen descended like a god, appearing from the white light and carrying you out."
Shen Hanyan blushed: "..." Isn't that an exaggeration?
-
Giant of Light, this item is really good. Leng Huan is a little tempted. With this boost, he could probably beat Fu Xun, right?
Just then, Fu Xun suddenly spoke up: "Shh, someone's coming..."
To be precise, the demonic cultivators have arrived.
The newcomer, dressed in black robes, appeared silently at the edge of the ruins. The wind blew the hood covering his face, revealing his face for a moment. He was a normal human, a fallen demonic cultivator. Leng Huan did not recognize this person.
However, Shen Hanyan exclaimed in surprise, "He is actually the chief advisor cultivator in the Nanshan City government office. So he is a demonic cultivator. No wonder."
Setting up a large-scale formation and breaking ground is definitely easier for government officials, and this person turned out to be a spy from the demon race.
As a demonic cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, he discovered Leng Huan and the others, including one who was unconscious, and realized that they were the ones who had destroyed the blood pool here!
To avoid attracting attention, Fu Xun only displayed his Golden Core cultivation level when he went out. The demonic cultivator, who seemed to have some kind of backing, was not afraid of the three Golden Core cultivators. Instead, he slowly walked over and said, "It was you little rats who ruined everything. Well then, prepare to die!"
The teleportation array from the city was one-way, and Wang Chen was seriously injured and unconscious. Furthermore, they were unfamiliar with the area and didn't want to wander around aimlessly. Unexpectedly, someone actually came to clean up the mess.
However, the next moment, Leng Huan knew what trump card the demonic cultivator had. The demonic cultivator was surrounded by black energy, and an ominous banner instantly appeared in his hand: "Hehehe, please enter my Soul Refining Banner to help me cultivate!"
Leng Huan: "…………"
No, are you serious?
