This morning, before dawn, Lao Ma started banging on my door frantically. Mei Yao, yawning, went to open the door for him.
Old Ma disregarded all etiquette and rushed into the room, saying to me, "Quick, quick, Senior Liang is awake!"
Upon hearing this, I immediately perked up, quickly got up, dressed, and hurried outside with Old Ma.
As they walked, they asked, "When did Senior Brother Liang wake up? How is he feeling?"
Old Ma was also very excited. After catching his breath, he replied, "The nursing staff just came to report to me. I haven't been awake for very long. I didn't go to check on me; I came straight to you."
I didn't say anything more after hearing that, I just silently quickened my pace.
When I arrived at Brother Liang's suite, Brother Miao Feng and Brother Fu Xiuyuan were already there and talking to Brother Liang.
I think Senior Brother Liang looks pretty good. After all, he's a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm, so his physical recovery ability is fine. If it weren't for a problem with his soul, he wouldn't have been unconscious for so long.
I quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Liang, how are you? Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"
Senior Brother Liang smiled slightly before saying, "It's alright now. If it weren't for the impact on your soul, you would have been fine long ago."
After a brief silence, he continued, "Did Senior Brother Geng really go?"
After hearing Senior Brother Liang's words, we all fell silent for a moment. Senior Brother Liang continued in a sorrowful tone, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Geng taking most of the attacks for me..."
I might not be able to come back either. Those attackers were quite strong. Even if they hadn't ambushed us, Senior Brother Geng and I probably wouldn't have been able to handle them. Everyone, please be careful.
Senior Brother Liang is a very gentle person, and he speaks softly, but when he does speak, his words are deafening.
I suddenly stood up and asked Senior Brother Liang urgently, "Those people who attacked you weren't just one person, but a group. What kind of people were they, and what are their abilities?"
Senior Brother Liang found my reaction strange, but quickly replied, "Yes, there are about five or six. They are quite capable, and two of them are masters of physical combat."
Their swordsmanship was quite good, possessing the strength of the early fourth realm. They also had eyes capable of attacking the soul; I was struck head-on and rendered unable to resist.
Senior Brother Geng was even more formidable, but he was surrounded by two others. One was a large, fat man who could defend against physical attacks, and the other was a one-eyed monk, probably some kind of monster, with blue skin all over his body and immense strength.
After Liang finished speaking, he thought about it carefully for a moment before nodding to indicate that he hadn't missed anything. But after hearing what Senior Brother Liang said, I fell into deep thought.
The people who attacked Senior Brother Liang and Senior Brother Geng were not from the Wan Shi Ji Le Sect; another group appeared, and they were quite powerful.
They could at least send out multiple fourth-realm warriors; those six people should all be fourth-realm warriors, and they didn't kill them even after victory was assured.
I spared Brother Liang's life. Now that I think about it, if Brother Geng hadn't resisted so fiercely, and the ghost spirit had been destroyed in the end, he probably would have survived too.
This is why the other side sent six people; they only wanted to keep Senior Brother Liang and Senior Brother Geng from waking up, not to kill them.
I racked my brains for a long time, trying to figure out why this was happening, why people would attack us without actually killing us.
