She looked around. The cave was devastated. The blood pool had dried up, and the altar of bones had completely collapsed. Only the abyss rift was still slowly closing, and she could almost hear the unwilling hiss of the black energy.
Han Yun Shen supported the broken Star Array Flag, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes remained sharp.
He looked at Shen Wuchen and said in a deep voice, "Senior Shen, we're sorry to trouble you with dealing with the bloodthirsty aura here!"
Shen Wuchen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "You all leave first, I'll handle the aftermath."
"Master!" Qi Lan stepped forward, her eyes filled with worry.
Shen Wuchen glanced at him and said indifferently, "It's alright. Mere bloodthirsty energy can't do anything to me."
Those who were still able to move gave the injured and unconscious person a pill, and then took a pill themselves before helping each other walk out of the cave.
Those who still had a sliver of strength used their swords to carry the injured and unconscious people away from the underground.
Outside the cave, darkness had fallen, and the setting sun, like blood, illuminated the distant mountains.
Rong Jiaojiao took a deep breath. A faint smell of blood still lingered in the air, but compared to the oppressive atmosphere inside the cave, the world seemed exceptionally vast at this moment.
"Finally... out."
Leng Qianjue supported her and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?" A gentle spiritual energy emanated from his palm, stabilizing the disordered energy within her body.
Rong Jiaojiao forced a smile: "Thank you, Grandmaster. Jiaojiao is fine."
Her ability to fight so well today is thanks to the magical spiritual energy she accumulated on the ancient battlefield over the past year.
While she was expending her spiritual power, Yue Ling kept helping her replenish her energy; otherwise, her sea of consciousness would probably have already dried up and collapsed.
Now that his spiritual energy is exhausted and he has lost his heart's blood, coupled with the shock in his sea of consciousness, he feels his head and ears buzzing incessantly.
Jun Yuangui, Mo Zhizhou, and the others were also seriously injured, but compared to the elders who were seriously injured and unconscious, they were considered lucky.
Han Yunshen stood at the front of the line, looking solemnly at the cave entrance, and sighed, "I wonder how many more places like this there are."
Mo Zhizhou coughed twice, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "No matter how many there are, we must eliminate them. Our current task is to return to the sect as soon as possible to report back. The Blood Fiend Sect's conspiracy this time is probably deeper than we imagined."
Everyone fell silent.
In this battle, they fought with almost all their might. If Shen Wuchen hadn't arrived in time, they would probably all have perished.
Even so, more than a dozen seniors were seriously injured and on the verge of death, and it remains to be seen whether they can be saved.
Rong Jiaojiao recalled the scene of them risking their lives to protect each other and asked Yue Ling, "Yue Ling, do you have any medicine that can heal everyone's injuries?"
Yue Ling's voice echoed in her mind: "Master, yes, they are. But their injuries are serious. Some have injuries to their meridians, some to their sea of consciousness, and Elder Lu has injuries to both his dantian and meridians."
"Have you thought this through? If you try to save them, you'll be revealing something unusual about yourself."
Rong Jiaojiao recalled their selfless protection, whether it was to safeguard the common people or their families, they had never hesitated, so she had nothing to hesitate about herself. She transmitted her voice and said, "Take it out."
Yue Ling sighed softly, and a sliver of light flew out from Rong Jiaojiao's sleeve, hovering in front of the sixteen seriously injured seniors.
As the faint light faded, seventeen crystal-clear pills, radiating a gentle glow, slowly rotated. Mysterious runes flowed across the surface of each pill, seemingly containing endless vitality.
"This is..." The pupils of the still conscious crowd contracted, their eyes filled with shock.
Having cultivated for many years, they had never seen such a strange elixir. "This elixir has a rich and pure aura, and it can even draw upon the life force of heaven and earth. Could it be the legendary top-grade spiritual elixir...?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled weakly and explained, "These dozen or so seniors are seriously injured. These pills are specifically formulated for their injuries and can treat their meridians, nourish their consciousness, and repair their dantian. Given the severity of their injuries, ordinary pills may not be effective."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Rong Jiaojiao added, "Senior Lu not only suffered injuries to his meridians, but also to his dantian. His injuries cannot be delayed and he needs two pills. Please feed them the pills as soon as possible."
Leng Qianjue gave Rong Jiaojiao a complicated look. The sect didn't have a single one of these pills, yet she had taken out so many.
Although this was Rong Jiaojiao's personal property, as the former sect leader, he still hoped that the sect could have one or two pills for emergencies.
Han Yunshen, without even having time to thank Rong Jiaojiao, instructed those with remaining strength to immediately administer pills to the seriously injured and circulate their spiritual energy to help them absorb the medicinal effects.
Mo Bai sat down next to Rong Jiaojiao and handed her a pill, saying, "You don't have any left, right? Here, I'll give you this one. Although it's not as good as yours, it's still better than ordinary healing medicine."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "No need, I still have some."
After speaking, she quickly took out a pill and swallowed it. Others might not have noticed what kind of pill she was taking, but Mo Bai saw it. It had the same aura as the pills she had just taken.
Mo Bai asked anxiously, "Where are you injured?"
Rong Jiaojiao gestured for him to be quiet with her eyes: "My mind was shaken a little, but it's not too serious. There's no need to make a fuss and worry everyone."
Mo Bai felt somewhat relieved. Just then, several exclamations rang out: "Alliance Leader!"
Rong Jiaojiao turned her head and saw that Han Yunshen's mouth and nose were bleeding continuously. She quickly asked Yueling, "Yueling, what happened?"
“Master, Alliance Leader Han’s heart meridian was just damaged, but he has been suppressing it, so I didn’t notice. Now he can’t suppress it anymore.”
While transmitting her voice, she didn't forget to take out a pill. Rong Jiaojiao quickly took the pill and staggered to Han Yunshen's side.
The usually dignified leader was now ashen-faced, his clothes soaked with blood.
"Senior Han!" She put the pill into his mouth and placed her palm on his back to help him absorb the medicinal effects.
The moment the pill entered his stomach, a bright green light burst forth from Han Yunshen's body, and his severed heart meridian began to twine and grow anew like spring vines.
Seeing that Han Yunshen's injuries had been suppressed, everyone felt relieved and began to heal. Rong Jiaojiao asked those who were still conscious, "Seniors, are there any others who are seriously injured? I have a few pills here, so please don't keep quiet about it."
The conscious seniors all shook their heads: "These pills are rare. Every one we take is one less we can have. Our injuries can be healed with rest, so we can't waste them."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and sat down to recover.
The ground trembled intermittently. After recovering somewhat, Han Yunshen tossed a spirit boat to one of the alliance elders: "Elder Qu, please use the spirit boat to take everyone back."
Elder Qu nodded, enlarged the spirit boat, and reluctantly took out several high-grade spirit stones to embed in the formation. The spirit boat emitted a soft light and slowly floated in front of everyone.
"Everyone, get on the spirit ship quickly. We need to return to the Alliance as soon as possible to recover from our injuries," Han Yunshen said.
Carrying the wounded, everyone boarded the spirit boat, and Elder Qu piloted it through the air, speeding towards the Alliance.
