"Alright, alright... Xiao Yuhan, why are you being so unreasonable? There are many things in this world that can be forced, don't you? Do you think this girl doesn't want to be with that Liu Jiantang? In your immortal sect's terms, that's called... what... right, destiny!" Miao Xiaodie said seriously.
Xiao Yuhan turned to look at her, subconsciously mimicking her accent: "Don't make things worse..."
"Don't you dare copy me! Or I'll beat you up!"
"Who copied you..." Xiao Yuhan had been completely led astray. Although he could still banter with Miao Xiaodie, his mood was extremely low.
Long Xiaoyu left without saying a word. No matter how Xiao Yuhan tried to stop her, she was determined not to associate with the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Perhaps she still hated what happened back then?
As Xiao Yuhan thought this, his internal injuries could no longer withstand the pain. The agony of his left arm bones breaking into pieces made it impossible for him to stay conscious. Then, everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground...
"Xiao Yuhan! Xiao Yuhan... what happened to you..."
...
He didn't know how long he slept. In his dream, Xiao Yuhan felt his body slowly recovering, as if someone was healing his injuries. But he still didn't wake up and just slept in a daze.
When I woke up again, I heard Miao Xiaodie shout, "She's awake! She's awake!"
"Behave yourself!" Second Senior Sister Shen Huai pointed at Miao Xiaodie like a sword, her expression cold and stern.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry... I already told you I'm not a bad person!" Miao Xiaodie said innocently.
The second senior sister maintained her icy expression, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Miao Xiaodie said unhappily, "Ask him yourself! Besides, if I were a bad person, would I have let him live until now?"
When Xiao Yuhan opened her eyes, she saw her senior brother Ye Qingyun, the sect leader, and her second senior sister, who still had a cold expression. Bai Yao ran up to her and asked about her situation with a sob in her voice. Not far away, her junior sister Nangong Ling'er leaned against the cave wall with a pale face and looked at her.
"Senior brother, senior sister, you've all come... That's great! Junior sister and Yao'er are both alright!"
The sect leader, Ye Qingyun, looked at Miao Xiaodie not far away and asked, "Junior brother, who is this girl?"
"Her? She is Miao Xiaodie, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect!" Xiao Yuhan said weakly, seemingly trying to struggle to get up, but found that his injuries were not completely healed. However, the broken bones in his left hand had been set. It seemed that no one but his junior sister, Nangong Ling'er, could have such medical skills.
"She's the leader of the Five Immortals Sect?" Ye Qingyun looked at Miao Xiaodie with some disbelief.
Miao Xiaodie pouted and asked, "Why! It doesn't look like it?"
Xiao Yuhan quickly explained Miao Xiaodie's situation, and didn't even hide the "it" that the system mentioned. "The situation is like this: someone took over Miao Xiaodie's body. I ambushed her when her spiritual energy was about to run out and killed her. The person who took over her body can no longer control Miao Xiaodie's body. Miao Xiaodie has a peculiar technique that can bring the dead back to life."
"If that's the case, I was very rude just now!" Ye Qingyun bowed to Miao Xiaodie very solemnly.
Miao Xiaodie then glared at her second senior sister, Shen Huairu, "Can I get up now! Put your sword away. What kind of girl draws her sword so easily?!"
Second Senior Sister Shen Huairu snorted coldly and ignored her.
Suddenly, Ye Qingyun asked, "By the way, where is Junior Brother Liu?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan said with a grim expression, "Something has happened to Senior Brother Liu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuhan recounted everything that had happened since arriving in Miao territory. After listening, everyone's expression became solemn. The sect leader was even more eager to go find Liu Jiantang, but Xiao Yuhan immediately stopped him. However, the sect leader's stubborn temper was hard to dissuade him.
At this moment, Miao Xiaodie, who was not far away, spoke up: "Alright! Ye Qingyun, you are no match for him. You probably couldn't even beat me, let alone Liu Jiantang, who has now become the Blood King Gu!"
"How could that be?" Ye Qingyun asked, somewhat incredulous.
Miao Xiaodie tilted her head and continued, "The Blood King Gu can at least raise a person's strength by one major realm. Anyway, I am at the ninth level of the Void Returning Realm. I believe none of you here are stronger than me. However, I was defeated by Liu Jiantang in less than ten moves and had to flee. Even now, the injuries on my body have not healed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyun's expression turned grim. "Junior Brother Liu's cultivation is at the fifth level of the Void Returning Realm. If he has truly crossed a major realm, he will enter the sixth major realm, the Dao Integration Realm. There is indeed no one in the world with such strength."
As Ye Qingyun spoke, he drifted off into thought. He was actually quite surprised that the girl in front of him had the strength of the ninth level of the Void Returning Realm. Even he himself was only at the seventh level of the Void Returning Realm, yet he was already the number one person in the righteous path.
The Void Returning Realm is the fifth major realm in the cultivation system, already at the level of a top-tier expert in this world. The sixth major realm, the Dao Integration Realm, can be called an unparalleled expert. There are probably only a handful of such people in the world today, and they are all old monsters who have long since hidden their identities and are single-mindedly seeking the Dao of Heaven, no longer concerned with the affairs of the martial world.
Liu Jiantang entered the Dao through the sword, and his swordsmanship can be called the best in the world. His combat ability was originally infinitely close to the sixth level of the Dao Integration Realm. Now, because of the Blood King Gu, he has the strength of the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm. His combat power is probably close to the legendary seventh level of the Mahayana Realm.
Even if we find a master at the Dao Integration Realm, what then? We still can't beat him. In fact, after witnessing Liu Jiantang's strength, Xiao Yuhan already understood this. He no longer doubted whether his senior brother, the sect leader, could defeat Liu Jiantang in his Blood King Gu state; rather, he was certain that even Miao Xiaodie and his senior brother, together, would not be a match for him.
So in the end, he didn't stop Long Xiaoyu, who was once Senior Brother Liu's wife and was also the only surviving Void Realm expert from the Blood God Sect. Presumably, she really had a chance to save Senior Brother.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Yao, who was usually the quietest, broke the atmosphere. She took out a scripture from her bosom and said weakly, "Master... I found this in a room in the Blood King's Cave. I don't know if it will be of any use!"
Xiao Yuhan took the book and saw that it clearly read: "Research Record of Blood King Gu".
Bai Yao obtained this book by chance after acquiring the Blood King Scripture. She originally thought it was useless, but considering that it was a book carefully preserved by the Blood King Cave disciples, she thought that returning it to the sect might earn her some merit points. In the Heavenly Sword Sect, merit points are money for disciples because they can be used to exchange for pills and cultivation techniques. For Bai Yao, who had always been bullied, merit points meant that she could exchange for more Foundation Establishment and Marrow Cleansing pills every month.
