Chapter 835

After examining him closely, Li Lao discovered that there were indeed no wounds on Chen Ang's body, and now that he heard Chen Ang say he had improved, his joy was immediately evident.

Grabbing Chen Ang's wrist, he said excitedly and urgently, "Chen Ang, don't be afraid. With me here, I definitely won't let anything happen to you. Come back with me, and I will help you break through!"

Upon hearing Li Lao's words, Chen Ang leaned half of his body's weight onto him, following his footsteps as they moved quickly back.

When the two returned to the courtyard, An Xinyi happened to be returning as well.

Seeing Chen Ang's state, he also misunderstood, so he hurried forward to ask.

Before Chen Ang could even speak, Li Lao told him the truth on his behalf.

Learning that Chen Ang had improved, An Xinyi also felt happy for him.

Just as he was pacing around, Li Lao said, "No, this matter still needs Teacher Xing Tian. You go to Wan Shitong's side and see how things are being handled there. Once finished, have him come over immediately. His beloved disciple has improved, and the Qi in his dantian is somewhat chaotic. As outsiders, if you or I intervene, it might be counterproductive. Tell him to come quickly, the sooner the better!"

Understanding what he meant, An Xinyi turned and ran outside.

At this moment, Teacher Xing Tian had just come out from Wan Shitong's side. Seeing An Xinyi from afar, he thought something had happened, so he also quickened his pace to meet him.

When he saw the excited look on An Xinyi's face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You came in such a rush, I thought something had gone wrong when you were dealing with the Demon Race."

"Don't worry about the Demon Race side; hurry back and help Chen Ang!"

Hearing his words, the smile on Teacher Xing Tian's face vanished instantly, and his complexion turned slightly pale.

"What happened to Chen Ang? Was he injured while fighting the Demon Race?"

"No, he improved! Li Lao originally wanted to help him, but realized that since he is dealing with dantian Qi, our two auras might be counterproductive, so he asked me to come find you quickly and have you go back to help Chen Ang!"

Learning that Chen Ang had improved because of this battle with the Demon Race, Teacher Xing Tian was instantly excited. After stuffing everything in his hands to An Xinyi, he hurried back without delay.

After a short while, Teacher Xing Tian finally appeared.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that Chen Ang's face was exceptionally red and his forehead was covered in sweat, clearly a sign of forced endurance. Although Li Lao's hand was still on Chen Ang's wrist, their auras were different, and Li Lao was clearly unable to help much at this moment.

Teacher Xing Tian had originally wanted to take Chen Ang to his side, but seeing Chen Ang like this now, he knew the situation was urgent and they couldn't afford to waste a single second! Otherwise, if they delayed any longer, Chen Ang would very likely die from the pressure of his dantian Qi!

Startled, Teacher Xing Tian hurried forward to take over Chen Ang.

The moment he saw Teacher Xing Tian, Chen Ang's consciousness was already somewhat blurred. He wanted to hold on and call out "Master," but his eyelids drooped uncontrollably. Even though he wanted to speak, the words wouldn't come out.

Seeing this, Teacher Xing Tian turned his head urgently and said to Li Lao, "Li Lao, the situation here with Chen Ang is urgent, and there's no time to change locations. We will borrow your place; sorry to trouble you to step out and guard the door for us for now."

Understanding what he meant, Li Lao didn't say a word. After letting go, he walked out hurriedly and stood directly by the door.

Inside the room, Chen Ang's dantian Qi had surged to the extreme, and some of it had flooded into his meridians. His meridians had expanded several times over, causing his entire body to turn somewhat red.

Using all his cultivation to suppress the aura, Chen Ang found his mind becoming heavier and his body increasingly uncontrollable.

Just as he was about to risk it all, a wave of cool air suddenly surged into his body, slowly smoothing out his meridians.

As this cool air entered, he felt his head gradually clear, and his thoughts slowly returned.

Carefully sensing this aura, he immediately knew who it came from. Following Teacher Xing Tian's meridians, he began to try and press these auras back into his dantian.

When Chen Ang sensed Teacher Xing Tian's aura, Teacher Xing Tian also sensed Chen Ang's change. Seeing that he could operate on his own, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ang's state had been poor just now, basically hovering on the edge of becoming a demon. He had intervened urgently, originally thinking it wouldn't be effective so quickly, but he didn't expect Chen Ang's strength to be far greater than he had imagined. In just half an incense stick of time, his thoughts had already been gradually pulled back.

As the master and disciple patiently broke through the bottleneck, An Xinyi ran over from afar.

Seeing Li Lao, he was just about to speak when Li Lao made a very serious gesture for him to be quiet.

After a moment of hesitation, An Xinyi ran up to him.

"Li Lao, is Chen Ang okay now?"

"I don't know yet; Teacher Xing Tian is inside helping."

"How was he when you came out?"

Recalling Chen Ang's appearance just now, Li Lao sighed heavily.

"When I first came out, his state wasn't very good. His whole body was flushed red from the pressure of the aura. I didn't dare to act at the time and could only help him suppress it, but judging by the situation then, he was likely on the verge of going into a cultivation deviation."

As soon as Li Lao said this, An Xinyi's eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with unease.

"How could this happen? Why did it happen so suddenly?"

"It might be because he gave his all when fighting the Demon Race, and it was precisely because he gave his all that he improved. He reached the bottleneck period all at once, but his entire body's aura was fully unleashed and he couldn't restrain it, which is why he reached this point."

Upon hearing Li Lao's words, An Xinyi asked hurriedly, "Then what should we do now? Can we help in any way?"

Turning his head to look, Li Lao sighed and said, "Our auras might be detrimental to him. The only help we can provide now is to guard them here and prevent others from disturbing them."

Learning that he had strength but couldn't use it, An Xinyi was extremely anxious.

Seeing him pacing back and forth at the door, Li Lao quickly pulled him.

"Alright, stop pacing. Your footsteps are too chaotic; don't affect them."

As soon as Li Lao said this, An Xinyi stopped in his tracks, his gaze looking worriedly toward the door panel.

Seeing him like this, Li Lao patted his shoulder gently.

"Alright, don't worry too much. Teacher Xing Tian's cultivation is useful to Chen Ang. With him there, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Right, Chen Ang is a lucky person with his own destiny. It's just a bottleneck period; he definitely won't have any problems. I'll guard him here, and if anyone dares to touch him, I'll fight them to the death!"

After saying this, An Xinyi's gaze fell vigilantly on the surroundings, looking as if he were determined to guard Chen Ang to the death.

After a full day and night, Chen Ang finally opened his eyes.

The moment he met Teacher Xing Tian's gaze, he exhaled a heavy breath of stale air.

Seeing this, Teacher Xing Tian asked hurriedly, "Chen Ang, how do you feel now? Are you a bit better?"

Looking at the urgency in his eyes, Chen Ang smiled and nodded, "Master, don't worry, I have successfully broken through the bottleneck period."

Hearing his words, Teacher Xing Tian also exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Chen Ang, you were really terrifying this time. Your aura was fully unleashed, and you were almost on the verge of becoming a demon. Fortunately, Li Lao was there to help. If he hadn't been suppressing it, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, Teacher Xing Tian didn't continue. Although he didn't say it, Chen Ang knew exactly what he was going to say next.

Pouting his lips, Chen Ang said, "Master, you are all my benefactors; I will definitely repay you well."

"Chen Ang, don't say that. We were just lending a hand; don't put too much psychological burden on yourself."

After Teacher Xing Tian's repeated persuasion, Chen Ang finally stopped mentioning this matter.

Just as the two were chatting, An Xinyi pushed the door open impatiently.

Seeing Chen Ang sitting there looking indifferent, he hurried forward and asked, "Chen Ang, how are you? Did you succeed?"

"I succeeded. Thank you all for your help."

"Hey, we're all friends; why are you being so polite with us?"

After the two spoke a few words, Chen Ang noticed that he hadn't seen Wan Shitong's figure.

His heart sank, and he fixed his gaze directly on Teacher Xing Tian's face.

"Master, where is Wan Shitong? How is he?"

Hearing him mention Wan Shitong, Teacher Xing Tian sighed gently.

"Chen Ang, Wan Shitong's state... is not very good."

A certain premonition rose faintly, and Chen Ang's heart couldn't help but sink a bit more.

After his Adam's apple rolled a few times, he asked with some difficulty, "Master, how is he now? Can his leg still be saved?"

"The leg can be saved, but the ant beast's poison has already entered his bloodstream."

"Then what should we do? Is there no antidote now?"

"No, because no one ever thought we would encounter an ant beast, so there is no antidote."

Looking at the expression on Teacher Xing Tian's face, Chen Ang suddenly stood up.

"Master, what medicinal herbs are needed to save Wan Shitong? I'll go pick them!"

Hearing his words, Teacher Xing Tian's expression changed.

"Chen Ang, those medicinal herbs are on the mountain; it won't be easy to get them..."

"I know it definitely won't be easy to get the herbs, but Wan Shitong is my brother, and I will never abandon him. Master, just tell me where the herbs are; I will definitely be able to retrieve them."

Looking at Chen Ang's determined appearance, Teacher Xing Tian's brows furrowed a bit more.

"Chen Ang, you have just broken through, and the aura in your body is not yet very stable. If you are subjected to impact, the dantian Qi might fluctuate again. Doing this is truly a bit risky."

Knowing why he was persuading him, Chen Ang still said with a firm face, "Wan Shitong can do anything for me; by the same token, I can do anything for him. No matter what it is, I will not shirk."

Seeing the determination on Chen Ang's face, An Xinyi also stood up from the side.

"Chen Ang, I'll go with you."

"You, can you do it?" Li Lao asked from the side.
