The man in black then thrust his sword at Xiao Yuhan. At this critical moment, for some reason, Bai Yao, the little girl, was not afraid at all and suddenly stood in front of him.
Instinctively, Xiao Yuhan yanked her away, taking the blow himself, which he was destined to be unavoidable. But as soon as he pulled Bai Yao away, he regretted it, thinking, "Damn it, she's the main character, she won't die! What kind of hero am I trying to be!"
Although the sword did not hit a vital spot, Xiao Yuhan was not in good condition. He looked down at the palm of his left hand and saw a shocking purple poison spot. Only then did he realize that he had been poisoned.
"Who exactly are you!?"
"Heh... So this is all the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal Xiao Yuhan is. Fine, I can't afford to offend your two senior brothers! I won't kill those two brats, I'll leave them for you to collect their corpses!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black disappeared.
Xiao Yuhan quickly used acupressure to seal the major acupoints in her body, preventing the flow of spiritual energy within her.
"Master...Master, how are you?" Bai Yao asked, her voice trembling with tears, as she stood by Xiao Yuhan's side, at a loss for what to do.
Murong Zhi, however, was quick-witted and immediately ran out, saying as she ran, "I'll go inform Uncle-Master Nangong! Senior Sister, you stay and watch over Master!"
"Don't cry! Crying like a little girl!" Xiao Yuhan joked nonchalantly.
"Master... I'm just a little girl... Master, please don't speak, your injuries are very serious!" Bai Yao's tearful appearance was truly heartbreaking to see.
Xiao Yuhan smiled wryly, took out the sword he had prepared for Bai Yao beforehand, and handed it to her, "Today is your birthday, I made you a sword, take it!"
As she spoke, Xiao Yuhan's breathing grew weaker and weaker, and she soon fainted.
...
It was several days later when Xiao Yuhan woke up again. Bai Yao took good care of him. In any case, among the direct disciples, only she and Murong Zhi were the most relaxed.
Upon hearing that their master had woken up, a group of disciples rushed over. After inquiring about their master's condition, Li Qianyun and Liu Bishui began to blame Bai Yao.
"Junior sister is truly unreasonable! She actually caused Master to suffer such serious injuries because of you. Do you even know your mistake?!"
Bai Yao lowered her head, feeling very wronged, and dared not speak.
Liu Bishui said sarcastically, "With such strength, even Master couldn't defeat her, yet she wasn't injured at all. Could it be that Junior Sister is colluding with some kind of demonic sect member?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yao immediately panicked, "I didn't... I really didn't!" Then she turned to look at Xiao Yuhan, who had just woken up, and immediately knelt down, murmuring in a low voice, "Master, I didn't collude with the demonic sect..."
Li Qianyun angrily said, "Why don't you tell the truth?"
Xiao Yuhan frowned, thinking that these two little devils really knew how to play games. They probably didn't know how they would die in the future. He immediately said, "Get up, both of you. This matter is not Bai Yao's fault."
Xiao Yuhan knew that the two were jealous because he had passed on the mental techniques of Bai Yao's Azure Lotus Sword Manual, and he didn't want to say anything more. At this moment, he was very weak, so he quickly asked about what had happened after that day.
At the same time, Sect Leader Ye Qingyun arrived in person with Liu Jiantang and Nangong Ling'er. All the disciples in the room, except for Bai Yao and Murong Zhi who were present that day, were called out.
"Junior brother, how are you feeling?"
"Junior brother is alright, thank you for your concern, senior brother."
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er went directly to Xiao Yuhan's bedside to take his pulse, and then shook her head, "This poison should come from the Blood God Sect, I can't cure it."
"Blood God Cult!?" Ye Qingyun looked astonished, then turned to look at Liu Jiantang, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The usually taciturn second senior brother, Liu Jiantang, looked strange and frowned as he said, "I will personally go to the Blood King's Cave to get the antidote for Junior Brother Xiao!"
“Junior Brother Liu! What’s the rush? Junior Brother Xiao’s poison isn’t fatal. The Blood King’s Cave is fraught with danger, and besides…” Ye Qingyun hesitated, then stared at Liu Jiantang for a long time before slowly saying, “Junior Brother! Let’s discuss this further!”
Liu Jiantang said nothing more, but his eyes grew increasingly cold.
Xiao Yuhan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this kid. The original novel described the trip to the Blood King's Cave in great detail, and Xiao Yuhan remembered that part very well. However, the original novel did not mention that he would be poisoned.
"This plot has changed completely, and who knows how difficult the road ahead will be..."
