It had always been publicly acknowledged that Wu Longfei, Devil Fairy, and Wu Chi were the strongest of their generation. As for Chen Zilong, like Xiang Shaoyun, he had suddenly emerged in the Land of Soul Springs. With his overbearingly powerful Qilin Arms, he defeated Han Chen the Blackfrost Spear from the Black Ice Palace, making a name for himself.
Now, Chen Zilong was challenging Wu Chi the Moha Cicada from Buddha's Path Temple. Not many people possessed that kind of courage. As for Wu Longfei, he was known as the number one young swordsman, a person who had comprehended sword intent. One slash of his was capable of changing the world and the heavens.
For someone his age, such a strength was enough to dominate all his peers. The Devil Fairy was the number one genius of the Devil Blood Society with numerous trump cards up her sleeve. Just the fact that she dared challenge Wu Longfei was proof of her strength.
Xiang Shaoyun felt his blood boiling hearing about the challenges being thrown about. Who wouldn't want to be number one among one's peers? Sure, reputation might be vain and empty, but it was still something one could be proud of.
Forget it. These quarrels between children are beneath this young master. My opponents should be those at the Skysoar Realm and beyond, Xiang Shaoyun ultimately told himself.
After leaving the Land of Soul Springs, it would be time for him to depart from the Cloud Margin Pavilion. Otherwise, he would risk being discovered by his enemies. He planned to look for a place to cultivate and reach the Skysoar Realm first. After that, he would seek Devouring Ghost's advice on how to grow even faster. That was his current priority.
His intuition was telling him that those traitors were getting near. If they were still not here after searching for him for so long, they would all turn into the Ziling Sect's greatest source of embarra.s.sment.
After half a day of recuperating, Liang Zhuangmin was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality again. He had only sustained some external injuries in the first place and a few internal injuries. After some bandaging and rest, he had mostly recovered.
The others had not recovered as quickly, but they had still recovered enough to regain mobility. They all gathered and waited for the command to leave. The ones here were the ones who had stayed loyal and remained in face of danger and overwhelming odds, and they were decent comrades to have.
Liang Zhuangmin told the few Free Society members left to leave and return to the outside world. Out there, with Cloud Margin Pavilion elders watching over them, they would be safe. As for the Red House members, they all waited for Hua Honglou to wake up before making a decision.
However, Hua Honglou seemed to be in bad shape. Her aura was weakening, and a shade of black covered her face. It was obvious she had failed to push out the poison within her and had even allowed the poison to spread. Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin became anxious when they saw her condition.
”She does not seem to be doing well,” said Liang Zhuangmin.
Xiang Shaoyun frowned. ”Big brother, can you stand guard for us? I will help her expel the poison.”
After saying that, he walked over and lifted Hua Honglou as he said, ”Honglou, hang on. I'll help you expel the poison.”
Hua Honglou opened her eyes and blinked weakly in response. Xiang Shaoyun then brought her to a concealed spot and helped her sit down in the lotus position before doing so himself. He then studied Hua Honglou's injuries and found that the wound was near her heart. The moment the poison spread to her heart, she would die.
”Your flame power is not enough to expel the poison. Let me transfer a strand of millennium earthcore fire to you. Refine it and expel the poison,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
Hua Honglou nodded weakly. Xiang Shaoyun then placed his hand on the wound.
“Uhnn.”
Hua Honglou groaned with an expression of pain on her face. Inwardly however, she was feeling extremely bashful. The spot where Xiang Shaoyun had placed his hand was too sensitive, and with his large hand, he had cupped the entirety of a certain spot on her chest.
