26: It's all over

Qin Dapeng helped Wang Tianya up, "Sect Master, are you alright?"

Wang Tianya, however, couldn't stand up. He tremblingly pointed at the girl lying on the ground, barely clinging to life.

"Is... is... is she Yang Xue?"

Qin Dapeng looked up, and his heart also jumped. Yang Xue had met him a month ago, so he naturally remembered her appearance.

Actually, he had a good impression of Yang Xue; she was pretty, cute, and very polite. However, he couldn't withstand the Grand Elder's intimidation and had to compromise.

He also couldn't understand why this Young Miss Guo specifically targeted Yang Xue.

Wang Tianya struggled for a long time to stand up. He came to Yang Xue's side, his hands trembling as he checked her breathing. "She's still breathing!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Quick, call Elder Yao over!"

A moment later, an old man covered in medicine jars came to the washroom. Wang Tianya hurriedly ordered, "Elder Yao, no matter what, you must quickly wake her up! Otherwise, my Heaven Sword Sect will cease to exist!"

"What?!"

Elder Yao's body trembled upon hearing this. Since these words came from Wang Tianya, he didn't doubt them and immediately began to examine Yang Xue's body.

Qin Dapeng was already sweating profusely. There was even a risk of the sect being destroyed. He knew that he was finished this time.

Elder Yao, with trembling hands, felt Yang Xue's pulse and let out a long sigh. "This Young Miss has been working at high intensity every day, leading to extreme fatigue. The injuries on her face were likely caused by someone hitting her with something. Thankfully, we arrived in time, otherwise, I'm afraid..."

Wang Tianya hurriedly gestured for Elder Yao to stop. "Don't say any more, don't scare me! Quick, quick, quick! How do we save her? Hurry!"

Elder Yao took out a pill and fed it to Yang Xue. "This Young Miss has severe Qi and blood deficiency, and she is still a Mortal body."

"I'm afraid she won't wake up for at least ten days to half a month!"

"That long?!" After confirming repeatedly, Wang Tianya shook his head helplessly. He could only report to the Old Ancestor; he had no other way. He touched his own face, deciding to fly to the back mountain.

At the small pond, Ji Wufeng was using his cultivation to heal his injuries, which had been directly shaken into internal injuries by Yang Yun's terrifying pressure.

Wang Tianya cautiously approached the small pond, waiting quietly for Ji Wufeng.

A moment later, Ji Wufeng completed a cycle of cultivation. Just as he was about to proceed, Wang Tianya hurriedly spoke up, "Old Ancestor, please wait."

"Hmm?" Ji Wufeng looked at Wang Tianya and said gruffly, "How is she? Is Young Miss Yang Xue alright?"

"Not... not well," Wang Tianya said tremblingly.

Ji Wufeng noticed that Wang Tianya was not quite right, and his eyes narrowed. "Tell me the truth, what happened!"

Wang Tianya then explained everything in detail. As Ji Wufeng listened, he wiped the cold sweat from his face, occasionally choking up, as if he were about to suffocate.

When he heard that Yang Xue would take at least ten days to half a month to wake up, he directly collapsed onto the ground, frothing at the mouth.

............

After Yang Yun left the Heaven Sword Sect, he came to a small town not far away.

As soon as he entered the street, a tattered beggar stopped him, holding a dilapidated booklet in his hand. He revealed a row of large yellow teeth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the smell made Yang Yun take a few steps back, "Terrifying!"

"Young man, I see your bones are extraordinary; you must be a Cultivation prodigy. We are fated. How about I sell you this 'Sunflower Manual' for one hundred taels of silver?"

Yang Yun sized up the beggar, who was actually a Cultivator at the second level of the Qi Refinement Stage. He thought to himself, "It seems that the old grandpas by the roadside aren't necessarily all fake."

Since Yang Yun and Shangguan Yi had completely concealed their auras, the Qi Refining stage beggar only perceived the two people in front of him as a rich Young Master and his servant.

Yang Yun smiled and took the 'Sunflower Manual' from the beggar's hand. On the first page, Yang Yun knew without even thinking, it must be "To Cultivate this skill, one must first castrate oneself."

Sure enough, upon opening it, there were eight gleaming characters.

"Old man, isn't this book too cheap to sell for one hundred taels?"

The beggar grinned, exhaling stale air, "Young Master, I've been waiting here for ten years, and you're the first one to recognize its value."

Yang Yun laughed heartily, secretly thinking that this old man was really good at taking advantage, and then walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, the beggar quickly shouted, "Eighty taels!"

Seeing that Yang Yun had no intention of stopping, he changed his offer again, "Sixty taels!"

"Fifty taels!"

"Thirty taels!"

"Twenty taels!"

"Ten taels!"

"Five taels!"

"Free!"

.........

It wasn't until Yang Yun's figure disappeared from view that the beggar stopped shouting, "This person is really strange; he doesn't even want it for free."

With that, he continued to trick the next unlucky person.

"I see your bones..."

..........

Yang Yun and Shangguan Yi arrived at an inn. The inn wasn't very big, but though the sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs.

It was three stories high; the first floor was for dining, and the second and third floors were for lodging.

Yang Yun ordered a few pots of wine and some home-style dishes, sitting opposite Shangguan Yi.

As they were drinking heartily, the conversation at the next table caught Yang Yun's attention, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

"Hey, have you heard? Recently, many places have been troubled by demons. They say quite a few people have died!"

"Yes, I've heard too. They say the bodies have all become mummified. This must be a vampire!"

"Alas, these days, things are getting more and more chaotic."

"But luckily, we have an immortal sect here, so those monsters shouldn't come here."

"That's right, the Heaven Sword Sect is the most powerful immortal sect in our Xiaguang Realm. What blind monster would dare to come here?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

.......

Yang Yun couldn't help but worry if the Chu Kingdom was also troubled by demons. He then looked at Shangguan Yi, "Shangguan, go back. I'm afraid Ao Ye might not be able to handle it alone."

"Yes," Shangguan Yi bowed, his figure flashing, and he disappeared from the chair.

A tall, thin man at the next table looked at Yang Yun's table in confusion. "Hey, didn't I remember there was another person there?"

After Yang Yun had eaten and drunk his fill, he booked a room and prepared to sleep soundly.
