Chapter 105: Xiao Han Awakens
"Alright, the injuries are mostly stabilized." Just as Xiao Han was pondering the great battle in his mind, Yunlei Jingling finished the energy transmission.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, it was clear that this healing process was indeed no easy task.
Feeling the faint vitality within a radius of ten thousand feet, Yunlei Jingling could not help but shake his head with regret. The activation of this Evil Emperor Life-Devouring Array truly left the land barren for a thousand miles, with all vitality lost!
"Forget it, since you saved this Saint's life and helped with such a big matter, this Saint will send you back!" Even knowing that Xiao Han could not hear his voice at this moment, Yunlei Jingling's tone remained haughty.
……
"Hum—"
A disheveled Yunlei Jingling crawled out from the Sealed World, then began to take deep breaths of the rare, fresh air.
In the nearly two years of time spent in the Sealed World, Yunlei Jingling did not know how much psychological torture he had endured; it was a long story!
"Oh," Yunlei Jingling seemed to suddenly remember something. With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black rift opened, and Xiao Han's figure emerged from the space beside him.
"Almost forgot about you, guy." Yunlei Jingling laughed at himself.
The next instant, Yunlei Jingling's expression sank. Feeling a gust of wind strike from the side, he flicked his sleeve, and an ice shield hovered beside him.
"Bang—"
The ice shield shattered, and the attacker's figure appeared before Yunlei Jingling's eyes.
The newcomer held a three-foot-long sharp blade, the sword Qi condensed and unyielding. His dark green robe fluttered loudly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if they had some deep grudge.
Moreover…
Yunlei Jingling's eyes were filled with deep confusion. How could this person also be a Fighting Saint? Didn't that guy Xiao Han say that Fighting Saints were very rare now?
Was the probability of him running into a Dou Sheng expert really this high?
But this person had to give an explanation for attacking him; he did not hold a mere one-star Dou Sheng in his eyes.
Yunlei Jingling opened his mouth to speak, yet the other side spoke first: "What exactly did you do to him?"
This person was none other than Ye Jianxin, who had broken through to Dou Sheng less than a year ago. As for why he appeared here, it had to be traced back to three days ago…
Three days ago.
Yi Huang was contemplating the inheritance left behind by that Alchemist predecessor. However… a strong sense of unease and panic suddenly surged in her heart.
Just at this moment, the Soul Jade Talisman she kept close to her body suddenly became scalding hot. Yi Huang took out the Jade Talisman with a shocked expression.
She saw that the Jade Talisman was emitting a strong red light; this was a sign of Xiao Han's aura growing rapidly. However, Yi Huang could feel the soul imprint Xiao Han left behind becoming weak at a rapid pace.
A terrifying guess surfaced in Yi Huang's heart: "That move?"
Yi Huang sent a message to Ye Jianxin with a panicked expression, her eyes unable to help but turn red.
Every time she thought of the miserable state Xiao Han was in back then, covered in blood and with a fading aura, Yi Huang felt lingering fear. She had thought that Xiao Han's strength was already approaching the strongest on the continent and that such a scene would not appear again.
But who would have thought…
A teardrop hung on her slightly pale cheek before she even realized it.
Ye Jianxin's speed was quite fast. The moment he received the message from Yi Huang, he immediately ended his cultivation state. Just by looking at the former's nervous attitude, Ye Jianxin could guess that something must have gone wrong with that bastard Xiao Han.
"What happened?" Ye Jianxin went straight to the point as soon as he arrived. Xiao Han was the backbone of the entire Langya Pavilion; his affairs were by no means trivial, let alone something that would make Yi Huang so flustered and distraught.
"Lao Ye, I hope you can go and bring Xiao Han back now." At this time, Yi Huang had already recovered her usual calm and steady demeanor. After all, she knew that only by staying calm could she better consider the next strategy.
Moreover, with Xiao Han's current strength unleashing that move… at least in Yi Huang's heart, there was almost no one who could be the former's opponent. This meant that as long as the rescue was timely, Xiao Han had a high chance of survival.
And after hearing Yi Huang's explanation, Ye Jianxin's expression also changed suddenly. He also had a deep memory of the scene where Xiao Han first used this move in front of them; it was strong, but the consequences were also extremely painful.
As the only remaining Dou Sheng expert in the Pavilion, and one who cultivated Wind Attribute Dou Qi, his speed was currently the strongest in the Pavilion, making him naturally the most suitable candidate.
"No problem, consider it a return gift for that guy playing matchmaker for my Ye Family," Ye Jianxin said with a lazy expression, but the gravity in his eyes could not be hidden.
"I will bring Xiao Han back safely."
……
Under Ye Jianxin's all-out efforts for three consecutive days, he finally arrived at the Yaori Mountain Range in time. As soon as he arrived, he saw the scene of Yunlei Jingling bringing out the lying Xiao Han, and then…
Noticing Ye Jianxin's gaze fixed on him, as well as the glances he occasionally cast toward Xiao Han, Yunlei Jingling suddenly realized that the other party must have come for Xiao Han.
This was likely because he suspected that he had done something to the other person, which was why he was acting this way.
"Don't overthink it. You should know that I couldn't possibly be Xiao Han's opponent." Yunlei Jingling did not explain too much, using just this one sentence to dispel Ye Jianxin's suspicion of him.
Ye Jianxin had just been anxious for a moment. After thinking carefully, he naturally understood that while the person in front of him was also a Dou Sheng, he was not much stronger than himself, and was far from being a match for Xiao Han.
It was just that…
"How is his condition now?" Ye Jianxin looked at Xiao Han at this moment with worry, not making another move.
Since Thunder Spirit could be by the side of Xiao Han, who was in such a state, it was clear that he had gained the latter's trust.
Ye Jianxin was still extremely confident in Xiao Han's judgment of people and did not have any pointless suspicions.
"Sigh!"
Thunder Spirit sighed, then began to introduce Xiao Han's current situation and the cause and effect of the matter to Ye Jianxin, not even concealing the existence of the Sealed World.
Just as Ye Jianxin trusted Thunder Spirit, the latter also understood that someone who could sense that Xiao Han was in trouble and arrive in a short time must have a deep relationship with him, so there was no need to hide it from the other party.
"Then… can he be taken back now?" After hearing Thunder Spirit's explanation, Ye Jianxin's heart, which had been held up the whole time, gradually relaxed, and he asked with some hesitation.
In Ye Jianxin's view, although Xiao Han was temporarily out of danger, he could recover faster with Yi Huang's care in the Langya Pavilion.
But he was not a professional healer and could only choose to consult the only suspected professional present.
"Yes." Thunder Spirit nodded in agreement. Before Ye Jianxin could be happy, he said another piece of news that left the latter stunned: "Wait for me for one day, and I will go to that Langya Pavilion with you."
"What?" After the initial astonishment, Ye Jianxin reacted quickly. But the disbelief in his eyes still could not be hidden.
This was a Dou Sheng expert! Even though the Langya Pavilion had a High-level Dou Saint like Xiao Han, it still had no resistance against the joining of a Dou Sheng expert, who was the kind of powerhouse that could suppress the foundation.
Especially since they would have to fight against powerful forces like the Soul Hall in the future, it was simply unrealistic to rely on Xiao Han alone, even if he had also broken through to Dou Sheng now.
And Thunder Spirit happened to make up for this shortcoming.
Looking at Thunder Spirit's indifferent appearance, Ye Jianxin could not help but wonder, what exactly is the relationship between Xiao Han and this person?
"No need to worry, this is just a promise between him and me." Just as Ye Jianxin was struggling with his thoughts, Xiao Han's weak yet flippant voice echoed in the former's ears.
