Chapter 817: Xiao Yan Awakens

As the Flower Sect disciples began to flee, other forces in Zhongzhou also noticed some signs and started paying attention to the Flower Sect's situation.

Faced with this situation, Hua Jin, the acting sect master of the Flower Sect, had no choice but to go every day to find the uninjured Supreme Elder, Hua Ze.

In short, they wanted her to take action, personally guard the Flower Sect's sect-protecting grand formation, and stop that assassin from sneaking into the Flower Sect to commit murder.

Otherwise, if this continued, the Flower Sect would not only lose face, being stepped on, but would also never be able to hold its head high before other forces.

Even the disciples inside the sect all fled completely, completely wiped out by the opponent's torment, ending the lineage.

Hua Ze, annoyed to the point of intolerance, after seeing Qing Xiao in closed-door healing, could only reluctantly agree to Hua Jin's request with a bitter face.

Finally, she herself personally guarded the Flower Sect's sect-protecting grand formation.

However, this move, though old-fashioned, was indeed very effective.

With her, an intermediate Half-Saint expert, personally overseeing things, Zi Yan could not evade her detection no matter what she did, and continued to sneak into the Flower Sect for ambush.

After various attempts proved futile, that girl could only curse and give up on further sneaking into the Flower Sect, turning to head to the Xingyin Pavilion in the southern region of Zhongzhou.

However, Xiao Yan had no idea that the little devil would turn around and come running straight at him.

He, who had almost been blown to death by Zi Yan, after receiving meticulous care from Gu Xun'er for about two months, finally crawled back from the brink of death and regained consciousness.

The first thing he did upon waking was to immediately ask Gu Xun'er about his teacher's condition.

Because he had been dazed by the explosion, on the verge of losing consciousness.

In a haze, he saw his teacher grab him and run with all his strength toward the outside of the void.

Since his teacher had lost his physical body, all his actions relied solely on soul power.

This time rescuing him consumed a great deal of soul power.

"Xiao Yan brother, rest assured, Senior Yao Chen has merely fallen into a deep sleep due to excessive loss of soul power; otherwise, he is fine."

Seeing his anxious expression, Gu Xun'er quickly soothed him.

"Huu~"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a huge sigh of relief.

His bloodless face also showed a weak smile, and he said with lingering fear: "This is also a great fortune amidst misfortune; as long as my teacher's soul hasn't vanished, once I refine some medicinal pills and soul origin, I can restore him."

Seeing him still concerned about others, Gu Xun'er shook her head helplessly and said: "Xiao Yan brother, you should first worry about yourself; you were closest to that explosion, your skin all over was burned to charcoal, and even your eyes, mouth, ears, and nose were not spared, shattered directly."

"As for below, it's a total disaster; if it weren't for your decent strength, strong recovery, and the fact that I have some eighth-grade healing pills on me, you would have lost it completely."

As she spoke those words, Gu Xun'er's peerlessly beautiful face uncontrollably flushed with a hint of crimson.

After all, the situation at that time truly frightened her.

If Xiao Yan became a eunuch, even if she were willing, her father would certainly not accept him as her son-in-law.

"What?!"

Upon hearing the four words "chickens flying, eggs broken," Xiao Yan's already bloodless face instantly turned as pale as a corpse.

His hand then quickly reached downward at top speed.

However, when he felt that familiar brother, he let out another sigh of relief.

If he were to permanently lose that, he would probably break down completely.

After all, which normal man could endure this?

Seeing him let out a sigh of relief, Gu Xun'er's face grew grave as she said again: "Xiao Yan brother, although you have escaped mortal danger, you were previously hit head-on by an explosion comparable to the self-detonation of two Battle Saint-level experts; your meridians and bones were shattered by that terrifying shockwave, seven or eight parts out of ten. As for your other organs, they are horrifying to behold; you now must rest properly. Otherwise, if a hidden illness remains, your life will be ruined."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's previous smile vanished instantly.

Immediately after, he swiftly closed his eyes and hastily sank his consciousness into his body.

As his consciousness sank, the condition inside his body was also revealed to him at that moment.

Upon seeing the broken bones, severed meridians, and organs like lungs, spleen, and kidneys shattered into various pieces, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink sharply, drawing in a cold breath.

His earlier ease turned into an intangible shadow in the blink of an eye, looming over him.

In his condition, if it weren't for his little rich-girlfriend by his side feeding him life-saving medicinal pills,

he probably wouldn't have survived half a day and would have died outright.

"Damn it, although Lin Feng is young, his heart is actually this vicious; he dared to use such vicious means!"

Thinking that if he died, or if he retained a hidden illness from this injury, his father and the two brothers who might have been captured by the Soul Hall would truly have no one to save them, he couldn't help but curse aloud.

After all, he had finally managed to rescue his teacher, taking an important step toward saving his relatives and elders.

In this situation, he certainly did not want to just die like that.

"Xiao Yan brother, however, you don't need to feel too much pressure; Xun'er here still has some healing pills. Now that you've awakened, as long as you take these medicinal pills and gradually control their potency to recover, you can fully heal your injuries."

Seeing Xiao Yan's face turn extremely grim, Gu Xun'er quickly spoke softly to comfort him.

"Don't worry, Xun'er; I'm not that fragile. Back when I was stuck at the third stage of Battle Qi for three years, I was never defeated, so these injuries certainly can't make me afraid."

His comfort instantly restored much of Xiao Yan's spirit, and soon the corners of his mouth twitched into a slight smile.

Immediately afterward, he suddenly realized that his injuries were due to the self-detonation of those two Battle Saint-level puppets.

Thus, he forced himself up, his tone somewhat excited as he asked: "Xun'er, the earlier explosion was caused by two Battle Saint-level puppets that shot out of the void and detonated beside me. Since they could do that, the master of those puppets must be nearby; did you capture him at the time?"

"That... no."

Faced with Xiao Yan's hopeful anticipation, Gu Xun'er gave a wry smile, shook her head, and explained: "At that time, my two guards did indeed sense someone's presence around, but because the opponent was extremely cautious, they could not pinpoint his exact location; moreover, Xiao Yan brother, you were already hanging by a thread and needed to find a place to heal quickly, so I had no choice but to leave first."
