A dozen minutes later, Qin Ziyue's condition improved, her breathing became less rapid, and a small portion of her injuries showed signs of healing.
"Senior, let me carry you."
"Ah... this... this isn't good, is it?" A flush appeared on Qin Ziyue's pale face.
"What time is it, senior? Don't worry about it so much."
"Oh." Qin Ziyue obediently wrapped her arms around Xu Chen's neck, looking away, letting Xu Chen's large hands hold her legs. With a thought, Xu Chen activated his spiritual power to protect Qin Ziyue and flew towards the capital.
"Xu Chen, here." Qin Ziyue released one of her hands from around Xu Chen's neck and laboriously pulled out a cultivation manual from her storage bag.
"Could this be the reason you were attacked?" Xu Chen used his spiritual power to lift the cultivation technique and brought it closer to his eyes for observation.
"Yes, this is... cough, this is the top-tier cultivation technique of the Hehuan Sect... the alliance strictly forbids the indiscriminate killing of innocents... cough, the demonic path is not included in this... the best demonic path technique I can think of, the one suitable for Wang Li, is..." Qin Ziyue spoke too much and spat out blood.
"You fool, why would you take such a big risk for me?" Xu Chen muttered to himself as Qin Ziyue fainted. He solemnly put away the cultivation technique and increased his flying speed. Five minutes later, Xu Chen landed near the small world with Qin Ziyue, activated the formation, entered the small world, laid Qin Ziyue flat on the ground, and set up the spirit-gathering formation.
"Sword spirit, sword spirit!" Xu Chen took out the treasured sword he had obtained in the small world from his storage bag and called for the appearance of the sword spirit.
"What is it? Oh, this little girl, injured to this extent." The sword spirit materialized from the sword and shook its head as it looked at Qin Ziyue.
"She is seriously injured. You stay here and maintain the operation of the formation to help her recover faster."
"No problem, it's a piece of cake."
Just as Xu Chen was about to leave, Qin Ziyue barely opened her eyes and said in a very weak voice, "Xu Chen... remember... remember this person... cough... cough... if she hadn't given me a phone, I'm afraid... I would have died in Anhui Province, died on Earth... cough... find her, help me repay... her." She took out a jade slip containing her image from her storage bag. She had carved it after she fell by the stream, was found by the girl, and was given a phone to contact Xu Chen. After carving it, she used her last bit of spiritual power to fly up to the cave, set up an array, and wait for Xu Chen to arrive.
"I understand, senior. Please rest well." Xu Chen picked up the jade slip.
"Remember, be careful!" Qin Ziyue said in one breath, then closed her eyes and began to heal her wounds. She was exhausted and in pain.
Xu Chen left the small world to deal with another problem. Five minutes later, he arrived at the original stream and saw the soldiers still waiting there. He walked into the crowd, picked up a skewer of grilled fish, and ate it with relish. As he ate, he extended his divine sense and discovered a maze formation in a small valley. "This formation exudes demonic energy; it must be the location of the person who fought with the senior." Twenty minutes later, Xu Chen led his men to the valley.
"Colonel, are they here?"
Xu Chen's expression was solemn, and he did not answer the soldier's question. He remembered that Qin Ziyue seemed to be a Void Refinement stage cultivator. Xu Chen was not sure how many layers of combat power the people in the formation had left after fighting Qin Ziyue. It would be best if they had only one layer, but even one layer would be enough to make him suffer.
"You all wait here while I go into the valley to check the situation."
"Colonel, we'll go with you."
"Colonel, we are not afraid to die! Please let us go in with you!"
"Yes! We are not afraid to die."
Xu Chen was inexplicably furious. "You are not afraid, but your families are afraid of your deaths! The people are afraid of your deaths! The country is even more afraid of your deaths! I brought you here to assist me, not to needlessly throw your lives away."
"Colonel..." The soldiers' eyes were filled with tears as they watched Xu Chen enter the valley.
Before entering the formation, Xu Chen turned to the dozen or so soldiers and said, "If I find any of these guys disobeying orders and entering the valley without permission, I will, as the on-site commander, execute them and report them to their hometown for treason."
After he finished speaking, he passed through the formation and disappeared from the soldiers' sight.
Upon entering the valley, Xu Chen immediately spotted a woman lying on a boulder. She exuded an aura of power and was in much better condition than Qin Ziyue. She also noticed Xu Chen as soon as he entered.
"Little brother, are you here to heal my wounds?" She turned to the side, looking at Xu Chen with a mocking expression, as if she were laughing at this small, overconfident Nascent Soul cultivator.
Xu Chen remained silent. The situation was far more serious than he had anticipated. He understood that he was no match for her, even though she was already severely injured.
Seeing Xu Chen remain silent, the woman got up and walked towards him. With each step she took, Xu Chen's brows furrowed more. He felt his breathing becoming increasingly labored, and his blood seemed to boil and surge wildly within him.
"Little brother, why aren't you saying anything? Is your sister not pretty enough? Let down your guard, and I'll make you feel like you're in heaven." The woman began to use her seductive arts. She changed her self-reference and pulled open her dress, revealing her fair and slender legs. The allure of her private parts made Xu Chen's blood boil. Xu Chen struggled to resist his desire, turning his head away, not daring to look at her. The woman smiled sweetly and walked up to Xu Chen. Her dress gradually became transparent. The woman's seductive arts, combined with the hazy feeling before him, instantly broke down Xu Chen's defenses. He began to pounce on the woman with all his might.
"Poor thing, before I drain your spiritual energy and yang energy for my own use, let me let you enjoy yourself a little." The woman looked at Xu Chen, who was "violating" her, with pity, without using the Hehuan Sect's techniques for the time being. Then, in the following day, she and Xu Chen ascended to the celestial realm dozens of times, and then returned to the mortal world. This cycle repeated itself, and Xu Chen still hadn't regained his senses. He was still extremely infatuated with the woman beneath him. There was no way around it; the difference in strength between the two of them was too great. Even if a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator was seriously injured, she was definitely not someone that a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could match.
The woman looked at the little boy who had been working so diligently on her body for so long, stroked his hair, and while enjoying it, she began to prepare to use her magic to heal herself. Absorbing the little boy's nascent soul would greatly improve the woman's injuries. Just as she was about to use the secret technique of the Hehuan Sect, the words "Tianquan" came into her view.
"This...no way?!" The woman suppressed her desire, snatched the jade pendant from Xu Chen's neck, and examined it carefully. "Ah...this...umm...this is actually real." Observing the texture of the jade pendant, coupled with the aura of majesty emanating from the two characters "Tianquan," cold sweat broke out on the woman's forehead. She suppressed her desire, pushed Xu Chen off her with difficulty, knocked him unconscious, and searched his body for a storage bag.
