Xue Yan brought Han Ye to escape from the pursuit of the many martial artists from the Demon Slayers Association while rushing to Mount Shu. After two days, Han Ye's internal injuries showed no signs of recovery, which worried the cheerful and lively Xue Yan.?It was already slow to move when he was carrying a heavily injured person. Moreover, Xue Yan noticed that there were groups of martial artists searching around the area on different roads. Xue Yan thought that the main force would catch up to them in less than half a day, so she could only help Han Ye hurry along.?
Since ancient times, the road to Shu has been rugged. This is true.
When they arrived at Mount Shu, not only were the mountain paths uneven, but cliffs could also be seen everywhere. There was no lack of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the forest, and there were also thorns that Xue Yan hated the most.
"So annoying!" Xue Yan held Han Ye's arm with one hand and bent down slightly to pull up her tattered pants. She finally got rid of the annoying caltrops that were attached to her legs. She touched her leg that was in pain from the cuts and stroked the blood-red wound."If it wasn't for the idiot, I wouldn't have come here even if you beat me to death.”
Han Ye saw Xue Yan bend down and asked worriedly,""What's wrong?"
"I'm fine." Xue Yan glanced at him. She didn't want Han Ye to worry too much, so she mocked him,""Some disabled people should care more about themselves.”
Han Ye didn't say anything. He knew what Xue Yan was enduring, but he couldn't do anything. All he could do was feel guilty and worried.
Xue Yan supported Han Ye as they continued to move forward. Suddenly, a faint clamor came from behind them, and the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"No way!" Xue Yan frowned and muttered,""Why are they so much faster than I expected?”
Han Ye, who was beside him, said calmly," There's nothing strange about it. There were so many martial artists looking for us earlier, so they must have discovered our whereabouts long ago. Since they discovered us, they will naturally speed up their advance.?”
"Then what should we do?" Xue Yan turned her head, her pair of bright and beautiful eyes filled with worry. She complained to Han Ye,""You stupid fool! If I were you, I would have beaten that stupid big guy up.”
"If that's the case, I won't be able to atone for my master's sins. My father once said that where sincerity comes, even metal and stone can be split apart. As long as there's sincerity, there will be a day when everyone will acknowledge you.”As Han Ye spoke, he listened to the voice in the distance, but he was worried about his companion again. He said indifferently,"Put me down and run. They only want me to hand over my master. They won't make things difficult for me.”
"Don't treat me like a fool!" "Han, do you think I don't know?" Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and said angrily. Not everyone was as open-minded as the big guy! If they see you like this, not only will they not pity you, they will take advantage of your illness to take your life! Besides, they came to find you not only to ask you to hand over your master, but also to kill you. You know very well in your heart, don't you?”
"Hmph, Yan 'er is Yan' er. She's still so smart.”Han Ye said sadly," It's just that I haven't recovered from my injuries. It's not convenient for me to walk now. If you bring me along, those people will catch up to you very soon. When those evil people see you standing on my side, will they let you go?"”
" Han…" Xue Yan was silent for a moment before she suddenly furrowed her brows and complained with a mixture of melancholy and anger,""Do you know why I want to roam the martial world with you? Because you think so much about others, I know that no matter how big the difficulties are in the future, I can still cross them with you! You want to cast me aside when you encounter some difficulties. What kind of person do you think I am?”
At this time, the noise was getting closer and closer. Xue Yan looked behind her in fear. Although she could not see anyone, she felt that they were not far away. She calmed down and pulled Han Ye's hand on her shoulder, wrapped it around her neck, and carried him on her back. Although Han Ye was not very tall, he was still taller than the petite Xue Yan, so it was very difficult for Xue Yan to carry him on her back. However, she only frowned and ran forward quickly.
"What are you doing?" Han Ye frowned and was about to release his hands from Xue Yan's shoulders.
"Don't even think about it!" Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and grabbed Han Ye's hands tightly with her fair hands. She pressed them on his shoulders and said angrily,""If you don't want me to fall into their hands, then I can't let you fall into their hands! Let's go! Let's go up the mountain to see your sister!”
Because she was carrying Han Ye, Xue Yan's feet were deeply stuck in the thorns. Also, because she ran too fast, her feet were cut by countless thorns and thistles. Xue Yan gritted her teeth and endured the pain of being cut by the sharp thorns. She had only run half a mile when her trousers were already dyed red by the blood flowing out of the wound. Despite the unbearable pain and her sweaty back, Xue Yan carried Han Ye tightly and ran forward.
Han Ye saw all of Xue Yan's pain. Seeing the dark red blood flowing out of her calf almost forming a road, how could he not feel heartache? Therefore, he frowned and said,"Yan 'er, put me down. Don't run!"”
"You, you're really long-winded!" Xue Yan was in so much pain that she closed her right eye slightly. She panted lightly and frowned."Although I've lied to you many times, I said yesterday that I would accompany you no matter what. I'll avenge you and relieve your worries. I meant all these words!”
" Yan 'er, you..." Han Ye recalled Xue Yan's concern for him and suddenly felt sorry for her. He slowly closed his eyes and sighed,""Is it worth it for you to do this?"
"It's worth it!" Xue Yan's face was already somewhat pale, but she closed her beautiful eyes and shouted with all her strength," Because we are companions!!!"
Han Ye finally understood what was called " a friend in need is a friend indeed." He also understood why Xue Yan's petite body had such great strength, but he had firmly remembered her warm back in his heart. It could not be erased forever.
After running for an unknown distance, Xue Yan relied on her own willpower to carry Han Ye out of the thistle-covered forest. At this time, she saw a few peaks hanging in the air. Those peaks looked very close, but they were actually a long distance away. The mountain that connected Mount Shu to the ground was still very far away.
After walking for a while, Xue Yan finally arrived at the foot of Mount Shu. There was nothing at the foot of the mountain except for a forest. There was a stone table and stone chairs beside the forest. There seemed to be two people sitting on them, but Xue Yan was no longer in the mood to care about them.
The pale Xue Yan opened her blurry eyes and looked at the floating mountains. It seemed not far, but it was difficult to reach the sky. The winding mountain road in the distance made people shrink back. However, how long could she last now?
" Damn it…My body, my body is not listening to me anymore…" Xue Yan was still gritting her teeth, and her right eye was slightly closed. Perhaps she had lost too much blood, but her vision was a mess, and her bloody legs were shaking so badly that she could not take another step forward.
"Is this all we can do?" Xue Yan smiled calmly and helplessly. She said to Han Ye on her back,""Dumb, dummy, looks like I can't accompany you on the rest of the road. I can't, can't hold on anymore.”Before he could finish, Xue Yan could no longer hold on and her body involuntarily fell forward.
"Yan 'er!" Han Ye was naturally very worried about Xue Yan's safety, but he was not very stable himself. Once Xue Yan fell, he also fell down.
At this moment, two gusts of grey and white wind blew beside them. The grey wind swept up Xue Yan, while the white wind swept up Han Ye. Both of them were brought to the stone chairs at the side and sat down.
Han Ye and the weak Xue Yan took a closer look and saw that there were two old men standing in front of them. One was dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and beard, full of energy and vigor. The other was dressed in a white robe, with black hair and beard that had a hint of white. He had an extraordinary bearing and was not angry but mighty!
The white-robed man looked to be in his fifties. He looked at the gray-robed old man and laughed."Senior Brother, Master's calculations are still accurate. It's been eight years, and this child has finally come.”
The man in gray stroked his long beard and said," We haven't finished playing chess yet. We'll continue after we're done."”
"Go?" When Han Ye heard the white-robed man say this, he looked at the table beside him. There was indeed an unfinished game of chess there. It turned out that these two old men were playing chess here earlier. Seeing that he and Xue Yan were in trouble, they lent a helping hand.
"Let's not talk too much." The gray-robed old man said to the white-robed man beside him,"Junior Martial Brother Shouzheng, you heal this youth, I'll help that girl.”
The white-robed man nodded and came behind Han Ye. He held Han Ye's shoulder with his left hand and gathered a stream of fiery red Genuine Qi with his right hand, pressing it on Han Ye's back.
Suddenly, a warm current flowed into Han Ye's body, causing his heart to tremble. Han Ye's eyes widened and he turned to look at Shou Zheng behind him in surprise. He saw that the white-robed man was already surrounded by a layer of fiery red qi. It was clearly the ninth level of Mystic Essence True Qi!
"To be able to cultivate your Xuan Yuan True Qi to the eighth level at such a young age, you must have had many fortuitous encounters, right?”Shou Zheng smiled." It's a pity that I can't make good use of this zhenqi. That's why I'm bullied everywhere. Am I right?"”Seeing Han Ye nod, Shou Zheng smiled and said,""Since you are here, come to Mount Shu more often. The people of Mount Shu will teach you.”
Han Ye did not expect the people from Mount Shu to be so enthusiastic towards him. He could not help but ask,""Senior, why can't I heal my internal injuries even though I've cultivated my Xuan Yuan True Qi to the eighth level?”
"Do you think that Xuan Yuan True Qi is very useful?" Shouzheng laughed. The first eight stages of zhenqi were nothing more than cultivating one's body and qi. They did not have any offensive properties and could only treat external injuries at most. Otherwise, wouldn't many people come to learn this mental cultivation method?”As he spoke, Shou Zheng continued," The true power of the Xuan Yuan True Qi can only be revealed after it has been cultivated to the ninth level. However, without the help of external forces, ordinary people will need to cultivate for at least a hundred years. Therefore, most of them have no fate with immortal cultivation."”
When Han Ye heard Shou Zheng's words, he looked worriedly at Xue Yan. He saw the gray-robed old man stretching out his right palm and placing it half a foot in front of Xue Yan's legs. The palm emitted bursts of white immortal wind. Wherever the immortal wind touched, the pain was reduced and the wounds gradually closed. It was really mysterious!
Han Ye saw Xue Yan's face gradually turning red and her brows relaxing. He felt relieved and asked Shouzheng,""Which immortal technique did that senior use?”
"It's also the Black Essence True Qi," Shou Zheng said indifferently.”
Han Ye frowned." I've never seen white Mystic Essence True Qi before. Could it be the tenth level of Mystic Essence True Qi that Master mentioned-the Realm of the Vast Ocean?"”
"Your master, Reaper Yama, doesn't know everything.”" Once a mortal cultivates to the tenth level, they can ascend to immortality. At present, only my master Tai He and my senior brother Chang Feng have reached this level in Mount Shu. However, my master told me that there seems to be a higher level of Xuan Yuan True Qi.”
"Is there a higher realm?" Han Ye never dreamed that he could train his Mystic Essence True Qi to the next level. Although he hadn't reached those levels yet, he asked curiously,""What realm is that?"
Shou Zheng shook his head to show that he didn't know and said,""I haven't seen it before, young man. If you have the chance, you might be able to see it.”
Moreover, Xue Yan had been healed by Changfeng's immortal energy, and the injuries on her feet had already healed. Changfeng smiled happily and said,"Young lady, the land of Shu is full of thorny trees. Looking at the previous situation, you carried that youth over alone?”
Xue Yan asked Chang Feng in a daze,"Yeah, what's wrong, old man?"
Changfeng was not angry at all when he heard Xue Yan call him an old man. He just smiled and stroked his white beard, saying,"There are still so many old men on Mount Shu.”
"There are still many old men?" Xue Yan's bright eyes moved, and she turned to Changfeng,"Then I'll call you the gray-robed old man.”
Han Ye was afraid that Xue Yan would speak without restraint and anger the two seniors, so he reprimanded,""Yan 'er, stop joking."
"Hehehe." Changfeng laughed straightforwardly. Shou Zheng was also very happy. Changfeng said,"This old man is the Mount Shu Sect Master, and my Daoist name is Eternal Wind.”
"I'm Elder Zhen Wu of Mount Shu. My daoist name is Shou Zheng. Just call me by my name."”As he spoke, Shou Zheng turned to Han Ye and said," Young man, you have some connections with Mount Shu. Now that you are here, you can come here for help in the future. There is no need to be so formal."”
Xue Yan was puzzled and raised her eyebrows."You stinky Daoists love to be mysterious, saying that idiots have a relationship with Mount Shu. I didn't see you send people to help earlier.”
"It's not that I don't want to help. It's not time yet." Chang Feng stroked his long beard and smiled." We didn't help Zhang Kuo eight years ago because he fell into hell. If no one helped him suffer in the human world, how could his soul rest in peace?" Now that Han Ye has suffered for Zhang Kuo for eight years and helped him pass away, it is the will of heaven that he has come to Mount Shu.”
Han Ye didn't expect that he would be able to help his master, who was suffering in the World of Spirits and Souls, after atoning for the death of King Yama for the past eight years. Although he couldn't fully believe what the Taoist priest said, he was still surprised.
Xue Yan still wanted to say that Chang Feng was putting on an act, but she heard a faint commotion coming from behind. She widened her beautiful eyes in surprise and said,"Oh no, they're coming."
Changfeng and Shouzheng seemed to have already understood this matter. Shouzheng retracted his palm and said to Han Ye,""Although your injuries have only healed by sixty to seventy percent, it doesn't affect your movements anymore. Take your friend up the mountain first. Once you reach the mountain, you will understand who killed your parents and you will also see the person you haven't seen for many years.”
"What about you guys?" Xue Yan asked.”
Chang Feng stroked his white beard and said confidently,""This old man and junior brother were just thinking of blocking those uninvited guests. You guys go first, and we'll meet up with you guys on the mountain later.”
Han Ye knew that these two people had extraordinary skills, so he nodded to Xue Yan. Thus, Han Ye and Xue Yan left this place and followed the winding mountain road to Mount Shu.
The guard watched the two of them leave and said to Changfeng,""Senior brother, let's continue playing the game.”
Changfeng didn't say anything, he just waved his grey sleeves and sat on the stone chair, continuing to play chess with Shou Zheng.
