Chapter 100 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 17
A few days later.
Hehuan Peak.
Jiang Zhiyi was studying sword techniques. In a few days, the sect's final competition would be held, and she was determined to get a good ranking no matter what.
She was still hesitating whether she should go to Xu Wenye for advice before the competition.
Whether it's asking him to find someone to let her win or giving her hidden weapons or treasures, she's willing to accept it.
Anyway, she doesn't need to maintain any semblance of propriety; as long as she can win, anything goes.
Suddenly, the urgent voices of several disciples of the Hehuan Sect came from outside the door.
"Jiang Zhiyi, something has happened to Helian Mu!"
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Zhiyi quickly opened the door.
“Go and see for yourself. He initially stopped us from telling you, but the doctor has already examined him, and the situation isn’t good… You’d better be prepared.”
She followed the disciples to Helian Mu's residence, and there was a strong smell of blood as soon as she entered.
On the table next to it was a medicine bowl that had just been used.
Helian Mu was covered in wounds and wrapped in many white bandages, looking extremely weak.
Although the wound had been treated, it was still bleeding, and the bedding was stained with blood.
Even more horrifying, his eyes had been gouged out, leaving only two bloody holes.
"Brother!" Jiang Zhiyi's eyes welled up with tears, feeling extremely distressed.
He was fine just two days ago, and even said he would bring me something back. How could he be injured like this?
"Sister, I'm fine." Helian Mu heard her voice and quickly reassured her.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything at all at that moment, and even the direction his face was facing was wrong.
Jiang Zhiyi sat on the edge of the bed, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"You all go out first," Helian Mu said, gesturing for everyone else to leave.
Seeing this, everyone pushed open the door and went out, leaving only the brother and sister alone.
Helian Mu took out a crystal-clear spirit stone from a small box beside him.
Inside the spirit stone lay a strangely shaped little spirit beast, seemingly imprisoned inside.
"Sister, this is a spirit beast. With it, you can imbue your sword with a sword spirit."
Jiang Zhiyi's voice choked with emotion as she asked, "You got injured like this just to help me find this thing?"
Helian Mu lowered his head and remained silent.
"What about your eyes?"
"Sister, I'm alright. Luckily, I didn't die, and I got my things back. I thought I was going to die there. I'm quite lucky to have escaped with my life. It's not a bad deal."
Helian Mu pretended not to care.
"You might as well make me angry to death." Jiang Zhiyi choked on her words, but couldn't bring herself to scold him.
Helian Mu even smiled.
"If your eyes are found, can they still be used?" Jiang Zhiyi suddenly asked.
Helian Mu didn't expect her to ask that.
“I know you are not human, you are a spirit beast in disguise. As far as I know, the eyes of a spirit beast do not decay after being removed, but are instead excellent elixirs for cultivation.”
Jiang Zhiyi stared at him, observing every change in his facial expression.
"How did you know?" Helian Mu was worried that she would dislike him, so he had kept it a secret.
“I knew that a long time ago,” Jiang Zhiyi said in a deep voice, not caring about such things. “If I’m not mistaken, you should be a gold-eating beast, feeding exclusively on gold and silver.”
"Why do you think I always buy you the most expensive gold and silver items, or jade?"
"Sister, you are so smart."
"I'll go get your eyes back for you."
Helian Mu shook his head and said, "I stole the spirit beast from a thousand-year-old demon. As soon as I got it, I teleported it back to Mount Ling."
"He stole my eyes and swallowed them, and then he tried to eat me alive. I barely managed to escape."
"Sister, don't take the risk. As a spirit beast, my five senses are much stronger than those of ordinary people. Even if I don't have eyes, it won't matter."
Helian Mu's tone was very calm. If Jiang Zhiyi didn't know him well, she would probably really think that he didn't care at all.
The gold-eating beast not only devours gold and silver, but also loves to adorn itself, especially with shiny things. They often adorn themselves with various gold, silver, and jade artifacts, which can be described as extremely vain.
Helian Mu is a typical example.
Jiang Zhiyi feigned compromise and said softly, "You should rest now. I'll go find someone from the Medical Saint Sect to take another look at you, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"Okay." Helian Mu was also a little tired, so he did not refuse her.
Jiang Zhiyi went out and went to find those Hehuan Sect disciples, and then asked them about the situation in detail.
She hurriedly went back to her room to prepare things, bringing with her all sorts of talismans and weapons that she could use.
Ideally, we should get our eyes back tonight; the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will become.
If the eyes are completely refined by the great demon, it will truly be too late.
"What are you doing?" Xu Wenye happened to come over.
Jiang Zhiyi then remembered that it would be good to have him go with her. She had been in such a hurry that she had completely forgotten about this powerful man.
Jiang Zhiyi then told Xu Wenye what had happened.
Xu Wenye looked at her red and slightly swollen eyes and knew that she must have been crying.
She really cares about her younger brother.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "Don't be impulsive. We still don't know the strength of that thousand-year-old demon. If we go rashly, we will probably only hurt ourselves."
Jiang Zhiyi's heart sank. She was unsure whether Xu Wenye would help her, since many cultivators looked down on people transformed from spirit beasts, classifying them as beasts.
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly lost her patience: "If you don't want to go, then forget it, I'll go by myself."
Xu Wenye stopped her immediately: "That's not what I meant."
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't listen to anything right now; all she could think about was finding the great demon as soon as possible.
"Get out of here."
Xu Wenye took her hand and said, "Don't worry, let's think of a solution first."
Jiang Zhiyi shook him off and said emotionally, "He's not your brother, of course you don't care."
"What other options do we have now? If it were your senior sister who got hurt today, could you sit still?"
Xu Wenye knew very well that he needed to stay calm at this time, and he said in a serious tone, "It doesn't matter who it is."
Jiang Zhiyi sneered: "That's your approach, not mine. Besides, you probably can't understand my urgency right now, after all, you've always been cold-hearted and ruthless."
She added, "If you were the one who got hurt today, I naturally wouldn't care."
