"...You?" Mo Cangying raised his eyebrows.
Helian Lingzhu also looked up in surprise. Under their astonished gazes, Yun Che slowly stood up and walked to the side of the young man.
"Your injury..." Helian Lingzhu reached out her hand subconsciously.
“It’s okay.” Yun Che smiled and said, “It looks serious, but it’s actually mainly external injuries. The medicinal energy here is rich, and I have recovered a lot in the past few hours.”
Without waiting for Helian Lingzhu to ask, he placed his palm on the boy's right arm, and a very weak stream of profound energy slowly flowed into it: "Qichuan, let me see the extent to which you have been eroded."
His mysterious energy quickly covered the boy's entire right arm, sensing the presence of erosion.
Abyssal dust is not poison, nor is it alive. Its essence is a high-level force that cannot be controlled. Therefore, its "erosion" is much more terrible than any poison known to the Abyss.
In a moment, Yun Che understood clearly.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Cangying stared at him: "Are you trying to say that you have a way to rid him of the erosion of Yuanchen? Take care of yourself first."
“Of course I don’t have the ability to remove the erosion.” Yun Che said calmly, and at this moment he removed his hand from the young man’s body. “However, the erosion he suffered is not serious, and it would be a pity to cut off his arm directly. If the corroded part of his skin, flesh, bones, blood, and meridians are removed, the remaining part will be enough to support his complete recovery.”
Mo Cangying smiled, his smile carrying undisguised sarcasm: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yun Che’s expression remained the same as before, and he did not explain anything: “Let me give it a try and then I’ll know. At least, no matter what, the result won’t be worse than having my arm severed.”
After saying that, he didn't wait for Mo Cangying's response, but looked at the boy and said, "Are you afraid of pain?"
The young man shook his head in confusion: "I'm not afraid."
"Okay, hold on then."
As soon as he finished speaking, his five fingers landed on the boy's upper arm, and his profound energy was released, instantly transforming into countless streams that spread out in his right arm.
Puff, bang, bang, bang…
One after another blood holes burst open on the boy's arm, accompanied by splashing blood foam, and followed by pieces of flying broken bones and tendons.
But in the blink of an eye, the boy's entire right arm was riddled with holes. Such torture made the boy's face as pale as paper, and he opened his mouth wide, but could not make a sound.
"You!" Mo Cangying shouted in a low voice. Just as he was about to attack, Helian Lingzhu stopped him: "Don't! Maybe... maybe..."
She stared at Yun Che's movements with her eyes, believing him almost without any reason.
"How is this possible?" Mo Cangying frowned, his arms tensed: "He is clearly..."
Before he finished speaking, another large puff of blood mist exploded on the young man's arm, and Yun Che suddenly withdrew his hand at this moment.
The young man suddenly collapsed to the ground. He was sweating profusely from the pain, his whole body was convulsing, and he was letting out a series of hoarse screams.
“That’s enough.” Yun Che closed his five fingers and spoke calmly.
"Qichuan!" Helian Lingzhu hurriedly leaned over to support the young man. His still tender arms were covered with nearly a hundred blood holes of varying sizes, which was a shocking sight.
She released her profound energy to quickly seal his wound that was bleeding profusely. But immediately, the anxiety on her face turned into astonishment, and then into deep shock.
“Yun Che!” Mo Cangying’s face was cold and his eyes were filled with anger: “He is still a child after all, which is pitiful enough. We have done you a favor and have no grudges against you, but you actually…”
"Ninth Senior Brother." Helian Lingzhu interrupted him, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: "He is not destroying it on purpose. The eroded parts of Qichuan have all disappeared, and...his right arm is not disabled."
"......!?" Mo Cangying turned around, a look of disbelief on his face. He hesitated before reaching out to cover the boy's left arm.
Immediately, his cold face showed an expression of shock several times stronger than Helian Lingzhu's.
There was no trace of erosion by the abyss dust on the boy's entire right arm.
His flesh, bones, and meridians were all covered with countless wounds, as if he had been cut into pieces by thousands of knives.
But...leaving aside the flesh and blood, despite the injury, his entire arm bone is still intact, and the most important meridians are still connected.
Every eroded part was completely removed.
And the parts that were not eroded were almost not damaged at all!
At the limit, if it is one millimeter less, the erosion cannot be eradicated; if it is one millimeter more, the meridians will be damaged.
As if it had been measured most carefully and cut most precisely,
It's creepy perfect.
Mo Cangying turned his head to look at the blood, flesh and bones splattered all over the ground. It was all gray and eroded, without almost a trace of life.
He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yun Che, his heart felt like a sandstorm was raging, unable to calm down.
"You...how did you do it?" Helian Lingzhu blurted out, her mysterious energy flowing repeatedly between the young man's arms, and she still couldn't believe it in her heart.
Yun Che still had that gentle smile on his face: “I have a complete medical theory in my mind. I guess I was a doctor in the past.”
"Doctor?" Helian Lingzhu shook her head. "To have such a deep understanding of the body and control over the profound energy, no doctor I know of can do it. Even the chief imperial physician in my court cannot do it."
“…” This time, Mo Cangying did not refute.
The young man also forgot to groan in pain. He raised his right arm, which was in great pain but still able to be controlled, and said in disbelief: "My...my arm...doesn't need to be severed?"
“Well, that’s not necessary. With proper treatment, you will be back to normal in a month or two at most.” Yun Che smiled and nodded to Helian Lingzhu: “Thank you, Princess, for your praise. I am grateful for your life-saving grace, and this is my small token of my gratitude.”
He straightened his back and continued, "In that case, I will not stay any longer and say goodbye to you two. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will definitely do my best to repay you for saving my life."
"Ah?" This sudden farewell was beyond Helian Lingzhu's expectation: "You're leaving? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have no memory of your past? And your injury..."
Yun Che said: “Although my injuries have not healed, I can already move around. My memory has not recovered, but I can vaguely remember being hunted by someone. If I stay here for too long, I might attract someone to hunt me.”
"You saved my life, I have already done enough to repay you, how can I bring you into danger again?"
After saying that, he bowed, turned around, and walked out with obviously weak steps.
This determination and sincerity moved Mo Cangying.
“Wait!” Helian Lingzhu quickly dodged and stood in front of Yun Che: “You are so badly injured, there is no way you can walk out of here. The sandstorm outside alone may kill you.”
“Aren’t you going to repay us for saving your life?” She had originally promised Mo Cangying that she would keep Yun Che here, and now she had found a perfect reason: “No need to wait until later, you can do it right now.”
"My father was... injured by someone. That person's power invaded his heart meridians, and he dared not expel it. He could only dissolve it very slowly. As a result, my father has been suffering for many years, and he dared not use his profound power rashly."
"You are such a great doctor, maybe you can find a way." She said earnestly: "If you can save my father, even if it is just to alleviate the pain a little, not only will it be a repayment of my kindness, but my Helian royal family will also remember your kindness."
Facing Helian Lingzhu's gaze, Yun Che did not hesitate too much and nodded slowly: "In that case...Okay, I will try my best."
"That's great." Unable to suppress the excessive joy in her heart, Helian Lingzhu smiled: "You should take good care of your injuries first. Senior Brother Nine and I will stay here for two more days. After two days, I will take you to see my father."
Mo Cangying frowned, but said nothing in the end.
…
Two days later, Yun Che, along with Helian Lingzhu and Mo Cangying, flew to the Helian royal family.
Only two short days had passed, and Yun Che still looked weak, but his external injuries seemed to have healed almost completely, especially the bloodstains on his face had completely disappeared, and the scars had faded. The true appearance of the Yun Emperor, who had never been eroded by the Abyss Dust, made Helian Lingzhu stare at him for a long time before she hastily looked away.
“Princess, excuse me for asking, what kind of power injured your father?” Yun Che asked casually, “Since he is the emperor of a world, he is naturally a supreme being. How could he be easily injured by others? Could it be an external enemy?”
This question made Helian Lingzhu look obviously uncomfortable. She sighed and said, "Although this matter... is a little difficult to talk about, there is nothing to hide. Almost everyone in Linyuan Realm knows about it."
"The man who injured my father is named Mo Beichen."
Yun Che was surprised. “This name… the Abyss Knight that Qichuan mentioned before? Isn’t he from your Linyuan Realm? He is regarded as the supreme honor and pride, so why would he hurt your father?”
Mo Cangying frowned.
Helian Lingzhu smiled bitterly: "He was indeed born here. Although he was born in a small clan, he is a rare genius in the history of the entire Linyuan world."
"He is extremely talented and fearless. He once ventured into the sea of fog alone in search of a breakthrough. His ambitions are even higher. He yearns for the Pure Land where Emperor Yuan is. After he had a daughter, he vowed to bring his wife and daughter to the Pure Land."
"And he actually took action. He followed an Abyss Knight who recommended him to the Pure Land to participate in the cruel trial to become an Abyss Knight."
"There was no news for several years. Later, news came that he had died in the trial of the Pure Land."
Helian Lingzhu took a long breath and continued, "His two daughters are both mediocre in talent and are considered useless people who should be abandoned. But with his extraordinary strength and status, his clan naturally did not dare to mistreat his family. When he went to the Pure Land, our royal family and his clan assured him that they would do their best to protect his wife and daughter, so that he would not have to worry about anything."
"But, the news of his death came..." Helian Lingzhu paused and said with great difficulty: "His two daughters also lost their protection."
The so-called "loss of protection"... meant that the royal family and his clan, who had made the promise, ruthlessly gave up their protection for his daughter.
Extremely limited resources and extremely harsh rules of survival reveal the cruelest reality.
"Without protection, it didn't take long for his two daughters to die from the erosion of the abyss dust."
"After the grief over the loss of her husband and two daughters, his wife had no desire to live any longer and committed suicide."
All of this was consistent with what Chi Wuyao had told Yun Che.
"And less than a month after his wife's death, he returned... as a Knight of the Abyss, wearing the armor bestowed by the Pure Land Priest."
You can imagine what happened next.
The name "Bei Chen" was changed from this. He took the initiative to become a "pioneer" with a heart of great sorrow ready to die.
“Is this why Mo Beichen took his anger out on your father and beat him up?” Yun Che asked.
Helian Lingzhu nodded, then shook her head and said bitterly: "With his noble status as an Abyss Knight, even if he kills me, my Helian clan will have nothing to say."
The tragedy had already happened, and Helian Lingzhu still felt extremely heartbroken when she talked about it now.
How noble are the Abyss Knights! These four words were something that the Helian Dynasty had never dared to touch upon.
That should have been the divine light bestowed upon Helian by heaven, and the turning point in the fate of the Helian Dynasty.
But they destroyed it with their own hands, turning the star into an evil light.
Yun Che looked at Mo Cang Ying who had been silent the whole time: “Brother Mo also uses Mo as his surname, could it be… that there is some connection?”
"We are from the same clan." Mo Cangying said in an emotionless voice: "But the clan has already collapsed, so let's not talk about it!"
Yun Che smiled faintly: "If you want to be a goshawk, don't sing with the birds. Since Brother Mo is named after the goshawk, he will naturally not be willing to live in a place where birds sing. Since we are from the same clan, there is no reason why there won't be a second one if there is one Mo Beichen."
Mo Cangying's pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at Yun Che deeply.
His name comes from the saying "If you want to be a hawk, don't sing with the birds."
His ambition is also to reach the Pure Land.
These words immediately dissipated the gloom between Helian Lingzhu's brows, and she laughed: "With what you said, I'm afraid that Senior Brother Nine will regard you as a confidant."
"Hmph!" Mo Cangying snorted.
"I also believe that Senior Brother Nine will definitely become the second Mo Beichen in the future... No, he will be even more powerful than Mo Beichen."
There was no sandstorm in the Helian Imperial City, but it was still gray. In addition to the deep dust, there was also dust and sand filling every space here.
The buildings in the imperial city are all made of rock, and the withered yellow light reflects the majesty of the dynasty.
But this majesty is somewhat weak and lacks confidence.
