Chapter 788 - Awake
“You’re not allowed to cry. Who said Young Master is dead? If you keep saying such inauspicious things, I will bash you to death!” Xiao Rou punched Big Dark Face, then planted his arms on his waist as he scolded him.
Big Dark Face stopped crying and stared at Xiao Rou with wide eyes, as if he had never seen him before. Although Xiao Rou’s hands were on his slender waist as he was scolding him, it felt like he was someone entirely different. How could he describe it? Big Dark Face felt like the evildoer Xiao Rou was the epitome of manliness at that moment.
“Since Young Master has the demon emperor’s bloodline, even a Demon Emperor Beast Blood Great Array cannot do anything to him. We don’t have to worry, he is definitely fine,” Xiao Rou declared confidently.
“That’s right, that’s right! How could I have forgotten? Young Master would definitely be fine.” Big Dark Face smacked his forehead as he said in delight, then frowned. “Then what should we do now?”
“Young Master is not familiar with this realm. After he has got himself out of trouble, he won’t be able to find us. If I’m not mistaken, he should have gone to the Golden Pill Sect.” Xiao Rou thought about it and made a guess. He was right, but Zhen Ye had not gone there on his own, he had been unwillingly transported to the Golden Pill Sect by that array.
“Then let’s go there right now,” Big Dark Face said urgently, still worried about Zhen Ye’s safety.
“I know the way, let me guide you all there,” Black Shadow piped up fawningly, trying to avoid a brutal beating.
With Black Shadow’s guidance, the three of them rushed over to the Golden Pill Sect.
…
“Chuxi, Chuxi, how are you?” Ling Chuxi was still feeling drowsy when she vaguely heard Ling Yichen’s anxious voice, as well as Baili Han, Lan Xinyu, and others. It was quite noisy.
Ling Chuxi opened her eyes with great difficulty, and met Ling Yichen’s concerned gaze.
“Chuxi, you’re awake! Chuxi’s awake!” Ling Yichen said in surprised delight and everyone instantly swarmed them.
Ling Chuxi looked around at the worried faces of Ling Yichen, Baili Han, Lan Xinyu, Jiang Wuhen, Li Shaoqiu and the Su family’s disciples.
“Everyone, calm down. Chuxi has just taken the pill and has yet to recover, so don’t stress her out.” Su Yizhi pushed through the crowd and knelt before Ling Chuxi as he took her pulse.
“Elder Su, I’ll be fine, right?” Ling Chuxi tried to move and realized that her body was utterly empty. She couldn’t even feel a thread of Qi of True Essence.
“Why has your True Qi has been used up to this extent? It is a good thing that you’re in the Golden Pill Sect. I already fed you a pill, so I think it’ll take a couple of days for you to recover. If it were someone else, they might have never been able to move forward in cultivation, even if it took their entire lifetime,” Su Yizhi said with a frown.
Ling Chuxi gave a bitter laugh. If she had a choice, she also would not have wanted to overuse her True Qi. The Cang Yuan Seven Sword Styles really had too great of a consumption of True Qi. Furthermore, this was only the first style. How much True Qi would the remaining Cang Yuan Sword Styles consume?
“That’s right, what happened? Your courtyard was flattened to the ground, and even the stone tables and chairs were turned into dust,” Su Yizhi asked when Ling Chuxi’s face started to look less pale.
Recalling what had happened just now, he still felt a lingering fear. When the array detonated and the loud rumbling rang out, everyone woke up and followed the sound to Ling Chuxi’s courtyard. That courtyard that had withstood thousands of years of wind and rain had actually disappeared. All the buildings, and even the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard had turned into dust, and there was now a deep pit in the ground that was a couple of meters deep.
