They each went their separate ways
Considering that Ren Xiangxiang had just woken up and was still a patient, He Wenwen patiently told her everything that happened after they killed the Gu King.
She was the first to be brought back to the perilous peak by She Liuying, and then Mo You and the others were rescued one by one by the others.
Aside from Kou Huai, Wu Fei, and Hu Feng, whose injuries were not serious, Xiao Litian went missing. Only one begonia flower was found at the scene, which was eventually given to Xiao Cangdao. Xiao Cangdao recognized it as a flower from the Feather Sacrifice Flower Sea and deduced that Xiao Litian must have been taken away by Hai Huayang.
The remaining Ye Honglanzhi, Ye Mei, and Fu Yi were all seriously injured, especially Ye Honglanzhi. If it weren't for another demonic power protecting his heart at the critical moment, he would probably have died long ago.
As for Mo You...
He Wenwen looked at Ren Xiangxiang with a complicated expression, while Ren Xiangxiang was somewhat anxious.
"What's wrong with Mo You? At least consider that I'm a patient too!"
“Not dead.” He Wenwen coldly uttered two words. “Alright, you should get some rest! You’re a doctor too, you know your own condition better than I do. If you keep going like this, I think you should give up being a demon refiner and become a demon slayer instead.”
Ren Xiangxiang was so angry with him that she lost her temper. She had just thought of what to say to him when he slammed the door and left, leaving her furious.
Not only did she not get any information about Mo You's condition, but she was also insulted for having a short life. The more Ren Xiangxiang thought about it, the angrier she became. How could this person say such an unpleasant thing?
As soon as I looked down, I suddenly noticed a white porcelain bottle next to the bed, which looked like it was thrown by He Wenwen when the two of them were arguing earlier.
She opened it and smelled it; hmm, it smelled like osmanthus.
I poured another one into my mouth, and a sweet fragrance spread from the tip of my tongue, instantly dispelling the heavy discomfort in my body.
In March, when spring arrives, it is the season of rejuvenation for all things. After the death of the Gu King, Xiao Feilian first led Ye Hong's lineage away from the dangerous peaks and returned to Wuyinmao. Following closely behind, Xiao Cangdao also settled the few clansmen he had previously brought back.
After Yan Biegu and Shuzhuo died, only Yan Qing, Yan Biegu's apprentice, temporarily took charge of the situation at Linxun Cave. As for Gongyi and Yueshan, fortunately, Husang sent a message to Lei Wan, who discovered the situation in time and allowed Minglie to take some of the clansmen away and settle them. However, Yueshan's lineage was almost completely wiped out, and even Fuyi was seriously injured and unable to move.
Since the demons from the perilous peaks left one after another, the demon masters began planning to return to the Yang Palace to recuperate.
Before the rest period, a fire broke out in the area where the Gu King died and had been active in Yanshi Ridge, lasting for four days, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes.
After lying in bed for another five days, Ren Xiangxiang was finally allowed to get out of bed and move around after her strong protests.
However, she was still too weak, and after walking only a few steps, she was panting and sweating profusely, so she was only allowed to move around indoors.
She opened the window a crack and a cold wind howled in, making her shiver. Kou Huai and Wu Fei had both come to see her recently.
According to Kou Huai, Mo You's injuries were not good, but fortunately his life was saved. As for why they were not good, he couldn't say for sure. In any case, the demons had Ying Jiu helping them.
The forsythia in the yard were in bloom, and new buds were sprouting on the trees, lush and green. Medicine was being boiled in the corner of the yard, bubbling and steaming, and the air was filled with a bitter smell that carried Mie Chenhuan all the way to the roof.
He woke up a month after the death of the Gu King and was relieved to learn that the Gu King was dead. However, he was soon forced to drink bitter medicine for half a month by Xiao Cangdao.
If he hadn't just woken up and hadn't recovered much, he would have made a hasty retreat long ago.
"Hey! Are we leaving now?" Seeing that Xiao Cangdao was all packed up and looking like he was about to go on a long trip, Mie Chenhuan couldn't help but speak first.
Xiao Cangdao hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
With her?
Mie Chenhuan felt that the girl looked strange after she woke up, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. Inadvertently, she met those bright black eyes, which were sparkling and looking at her expectantly, making Mie Chenhuan blush for no reason.
What's going on here? Mie Chenhuan coughed to cover up her embarrassment. She was old enough to have died once, how could she lose to a little girl?
"Cough cough..." Mie Chenhuan adjusted her mindset and poked her head down from the eaves again. "Let's go, let's go! What kind of place is a ghost like me here? Let's get out of here!"
Fuyi watched the two leaving through the window, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her lips. How enviable!
Just then, Yingjiu came in carrying the prepared medicine. Seeing that she had woken up, the worry between her brows eased a little.
Thank you for everything during this time.
Yingjiu shook her head and replied softly, "That's all I can do."
As she was about to leave, Fu Yi's voice suddenly rang out from behind her again, "Excuse me, but as far as I know, most of the demon servants of demon tamers start their cultivation by signing contracts with humans from a young age, so their demonic power is not very strong. You probably don't belong to this category!"
Yingjiu paused for a moment upon hearing this, but did not turn around. "Yes, I was bought back by my master from the demon master of the Five Directions Continent. You should have heard of that place, where humans are revered and demons are slaves."
A vision of a torn demon flashed through Yingjiu's mind, its blood splattering all over her face, for because of her weakness and uselessness, she would be the next to die.
—Wait a minute, I'll buy this little demon.
"Shadow Dove?"
Yingjiu snapped back to reality, a fleeting bitterness crossing her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and replied irrelevantly, "Ye Honglanzhi has already woken up. Once she wakes up, it's only a matter of time before she recovers. As for that fox demon, he was severely depleted, but fortunately, the sword in his hand saved his life, and he will wake up in the next few days."
After saying that, before Fuyi could speak again, Yingjiu had already pushed open the door and walked out.
"The Five Directions Continent..." Fu Yi murmured to herself inside the room, "...the Prison of Ten Thousand Demons!"
Ye Honglanzhi also woke up in the last few days. His body was heavier than he had imagined, and it took him a lot of effort to sit up.
Recalling Le Qing's resolute decision, Ye Honglanzhi felt a pang of emotion. He subconsciously touched the palm-sized bamboo basket at his waist, which contained half a red flower that emitted a faint demonic aura.
He breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to get out of bed, but at that moment Yingjiu pushed open the door.
“You can’t move around yet.” Yingjiu was startled and quickly helped him back.
"I'm sorry, I've been lying down for too long, I want to get up and move around a bit." Ye Honglanzhi's breath was weak, and his handsome face was as pale as paper.
"The Night Red lineage has already returned to Wuyinmao. Do you need my help to contact your family?" Yingjiu only knew that he was from the Night Red lineage, so he blurted out the question.
Ye Honglanzhi paused slightly, gave a bitter smile, and shook her head. "I left when I was young, and I have no family here anymore. I'll leave in a few days."
Yingjiu paused, lowered her eyes, and remained silent. "Excuse me, I...where are you planning to go?"
She was eager to change the subject, and didn't really want to find out where the other person was.
But Ye Honglanzhi, being gentle and mild-mannered, didn't think much of it. He was still grateful to the girl who had saved him, so when she asked him, he replied frankly, "I don't have any plans for now, but I might... go to the vicinity of Yitiao Village..."
A village... Yingjiu knew this place. Like Zhexian Town, it was a place where humans and demons mingled, only slightly smaller than Zhexian Town.
However, the conflict between humans and demons in that place is more complicated than in the Immortal Town, and it is too close to the Five Directions Continent. The demons will be affected by the Nine Heavens Yellow Springs Formation to some extent, so it is not a good place to go.
Yingjiu shook her head, wanting to ask something, but then felt that perhaps she shouldn't be so talkative and annoying.
“There’s something…” Ye Honglan hesitated for a moment, Yingjiu looked up, a hint of surprise flashing across her serene face, and then nodded.
Ye Honglanzhi took the bamboo basket from her waist and handed it to her, "There's a friend of mine here. Do you have a way to help her recover?"
Yingjiu, puzzled, took the bamboo basket and could only sense a faint breath coming from inside. She frowned, "What kind of injury could have caused her to become like this? I don't know much about flower fairies, but I can sense that she is still alive, but her condition is really bad."
When Ye Honglanzhi first encountered Granny Life-Extending, she secretly sought her advice, but Granny Life-Extending refused outright, saying that the flower demon was not yet at the end of her rope and might recover, so there was no need to seek her out.
However, despite her efforts to channel demonic energy into her, there was still no improvement. Upon hearing Yingjiu's reply, Ye Honglanzhi sighed as expected, put away her bamboo basket, and refused to say more.
"Feel sorry."
After Yingjiu finished changing his dressing, she was about to leave when a thought suddenly popped into her mind. "Have you ever heard of the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn Bead? It belongs to an ancient demon race. I don't know if there are any descendants left. It is said that their Spirit Rhinoceros Horn Bead has the effect of transforming the body and re-cultivating to condense the demon core, but it is just a rumor, and I don't know if it is true or not."
Ye Honglanzhi's dim eyes brightened noticeably. "Thank you."
Yingjiu smiled slightly and then left.
Sunrise and sunset, the seasons change, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, almost no one remained on the dangerous peaks, and the main force moved back to Yangdian.
Ren Xiangxiang was finally allowed to go outside. Looking at herself in the mirror, apart from a tuft of white hair on her forehead, she was no different from before. It was just that the tuft of white hair was really an eyesore. She spent several days trying to get He Wenwen to concoct a kind of ointment for her under her sarcasm and rage, which completely covered it up.
"Deceiving oneself and others is futile and beyond redemption!"
He Wenwen threw down those words and left with the ointment, thinking that since he had the medicine, he didn't care about anything else. Ren Xiangxiang didn't care at all and even praised him for being considerate, which only made the other party more irritable.
"Moyou!"
A flock of sparrows on the wall flew away in a whoosh, leaving only Mo You as the only demon living there. A while ago, some people from Fox Mountain came, but they left after only two days. It is said that Cui Xi couldn't stand being surrounded by demon masters, so after Mo You woke up, she forcibly dragged Mo Rong away.
Aside from the first visitor, only Kou Huai and other demon tamers and demon servants occasionally came to visit, so when Mo You first heard Ren Xiangxiang's voice, he was clearly taken aback.
"Xiangxiang?"
Mo You woke up five days ago. Because of the severe loss of her demonic power, Mo Rong and Ying Jiu took care of her every step of the way for the past few days. She has improved slightly in the past few days and can at least get out of bed and move around.
"Why are you here?" Although Mo You had learned from Ying Jiu that Ren Xiangxiang was alright after waking up, she was still more worried than happy when she saw Ren Xiangxiang appear in front of her.
"Why are you frowning! You're more seriously injured than me. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine!" Ren Xiangxiang said, turning around in front of Mo You.
Mo You chuckled, instinctively gripping the Ice Nightmare Sword. "I don't know why, but the death of the Gu King gives me a sense of unreality, like... like a phantom before his death—"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ren Xiangxiang angrily covered his mouth. "The Gu King is dead! He's dead!"
Her bright, dark eyes stared at him intently, a look of seriousness tinged with an indescribable sadness.
"Xiangxiang..."
Ren Xiangxiang shook her head, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and asked with some reluctance, "Mo You, come with me again when you're a little better!"
