"Ugh, ugh, ugh~" The man in black robes, named Xiao Ye, was immediately terrified upon seeing a corpse. His stomach churned, and he felt nauseous and vomiting.
I vomited two mouthfuls of sour water, which made my stomach feel even worse, as if my entire stomach and intestines were about to burst out of my mouth.
He dared not look at the second "corpse".
If the second one dies even more tragically, he probably won't be able to eat for days.
Ling Jingxuan walked over and saw the first man's dead body.
My stomach and intestines suddenly started to feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
Half of his brain is gone, how can it not be disgusting?
If he were to die one day, he would rather have his whole head chopped off than have half of his head chopped off like the bearded man.
At least it won't spill the "tofu pudding" stuff, making the death look a little more presentable.
Who could have done this?
"Who else could it be? It must be that man next to him. He's the only one there. Who else could it be? Did they miss? Otherwise, why would they only cut off half of his head?"
"Or did that person do it on purpose? How disgusting! Could they have such a deep-seated hatred?"
Xiao Ye covered his nose. The smell of blood wasn't too bad; it was the "tofu pudding" that was disgusting.
He now wants to go to the hospital to wash his eyes.
Okay, I'll go tomorrow.
"Go check if he's dead," Ling Jingxuan ordered.
"I'm not going! It's disgusting. You go if you want to. All you do is order me around." Xiao Ye's refusal was firm.
Ling Jingxuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "Are you going or not?"
His tone carried a hint of warning.
Xiao Ye covered his mouth and had no choice but to walk up to Xi Ye and look him over.
"Is that Nishino? He looks like he's seriously injured and about to die; his clothes are stained red. This fight was quite intense; look at how badly they've damaged the surrounding trees."
There were large trampling marks in the surrounding grass, and several places were on fire.
What Xiao Ye didn't understand was that Xi Ye was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while the bearded man was at the later stage.
How did Nishino defeat the bearded man despite being a much stronger opponent?
"So, is he dead or not?" Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but ask, taking out a handkerchief to cover his nose.
He clearly couldn't stand the smell at the scene either.
Xiao Ye felt Xi Ye's pulse in his neck and found it to be strong and powerful.
"Still alive! To survive such severe injuries, with a chest wound, it seems someone came and bandaged his wound, which is why he survived." It's practically a miracle. Who was so kind as to save Nishino?
"Really? Judging from his wounds, someone must have bandaged him. That person didn't want to show themselves, which is why they ran away before we arrived. It's very difficult for someone in the early Nascent Soul stage to defeat someone in the late stage, unless they have a high-grade magic weapon."
"Or perhaps the person who saved Xiye killed the bearded man, and killed him with a single blow. The opponent's cultivation level should be above the Nascent Soul stage, and he might also possess a high-grade magic weapon."
"Who exactly was it? Among the fellow cultivators who entered the mountain recently, there were only five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, three Body Integration stage cultivators, and two Mahayana stage cultivators. We all know them. Xiao Ye, tell me, who saved Xiye?"
Ling Jingxuan trusted his intuition.
The person who saved Xiye was not someone he knew from Xiao Ye; they were probably a fellow Daoist who had just entered Shenxian Mountain.
"I don't know who it is, but those people won't be kind enough to save people. I hope they don't take advantage of Xiye and the bearded man being half-dead and sneak up on them to steal their golden cores and magical artifacts."
"You still expect those guys to come to the rescue? It's more likely that Nishino killed the bearded man himself. I'd rather believe that than believe that group would actually save him. Look, Nishino's storage bag is still here."
Xiao Ye searched Xi Ye's belongings and found that his storage bag and magical artifacts were still there.
That's even stranger.
Who wouldn't be tempted by a storage bag and magical artifacts?
Therefore, the people who rescued Nishino were definitely not the group they knew.
"I see. That makes it even stranger. Did a newcomer come to the mountain today?" Ling Jingxuan stroked his chin, looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.
In particular, it's impossible to detect the presence of strangers.
Could it be that the other party concealed their presence?
In that case, the person who saved Nishino must have a higher cultivation level than him.
Nascent Soul stage? Or Body Integration stage?
"No new faces, right? I haven't noticed any. But maybe they're shrewd and are hiding and observing from the shadows."
"Go bury the bearded man's body. We'll wait for Xiye to wake up before we leave." Ling Jingxuan just wanted to know the answer, not to kindly guard Xiye and protect his personal safety.
Of course they didn't take advantage of the situation, because they were both kind-hearted and disdained to do such a thing.
"You mean we should stay here and wait for him to wake up before asking him what happened?" Xiao Ye didn't want to stay here; it smelled too bad.
"I won't do it. If you want to, then go dig a hole. It's disgusting, I don't want to."
Moreover, the bearded man was already dead, and nothing of value could be found; his golden core had been dug out, and his storage bag had been taken away.
"Hmm, don't you want to know the answer? How can someone defeat someone stronger than themselves by going beyond their level? If there really were such powerful people, what would be the point of levels? Someone must have saved Nishino. I want to know who cut off half of the bearded man's head, and what deep-seated hatred they had."
Ling Jingxuan raised an eyebrow and gave a wicked smile.
"No! We can't stay here. Someone might come soon. If they see Xiye injured and unconscious, they'll definitely want to kill him and steal his storage bag and golden core."
Xiao Ye didn't really want to care about Xi Ye; what did his life or death have to do with him?
I hate Ling Jingxuan for being a busybody, especially since he only knows how to talk.
Ling Jingxuan nodded, his thin lips parting slightly: "Yes, you're right. Then you carry Xiye on your back."
"Why do I have to carry him? Can't you carry him yourself? You make me do everything, are you clumsy?" Xiao Ye thought to himself, a million curses running through his mind.
