All Kinds of Human Hearts

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Li Qingjun had no time to pay attention to anyone else; Qin Yi's current situation worried her greatly.

He's been in the Blood Nether Realm for who knows how long... Anyway, from the start of the competition until now, Qin Yi's battles have never stopped. By now, he's completely exhausted. His Golden Elixir is depleted, his soul is extremely weak, and he's covered in injuries, forcibly suppressing them...

If this condition is not treated in time, it will definitely damage the very foundation of Immortal Dao.

But she didn't know how to treat injuries, nor did she know which of the wound medicines in Qin Yi's ring were suitable. In fact, simply taking medicine probably wouldn't be very effective. Qin Yi seemed to have given himself some medicine in the end, but it could only keep his heart meridian intact. He still needed to find a knowledgeable doctor for proper treatment.

But right now there's a problem: Qin Yi is unconscious, the little artifact spirit is also asleep, and there's no one around.

Tai Puzi and Senior Brother Lu also ran away, leaving no one to ask for help... Li Qingjun knew that they didn't abandon him on purpose, but Qin Yi seemed so arrogant just now, and they really didn't expect him to be so exhausted. So they felt ashamed to see him and simply chose not to meet him.

Li Qingjun looked up at the sky; the sun was high in the sky, making it impossible to discern directions. Looking around, all she saw was a vast, uncharted sea, with no landmarks whatsoever. This was terrible; she couldn't tell which way was north, south, east, or west, and didn't even know where she was.

Perhaps her Senior Brother had many ways to orient themselves, and other cultivators had magical Law Treasure to guide them, but Li Qingjun had been in seclusion in the Sword Pavilion for a long time and was not familiar with the sea...

I want to go back to Jiange to ask my elders for help, but I can't find the way. What should I do?

Li Qingjun was so anxious that she flew a little higher and looked into the distance.

In the vast expanse of the sea, at the horizon where the sea and sky meet in a certain direction, there seems to be something.

It was too far for Li Qingjun to tell if it was a reef or something else, so she instinctively flew over. Even if it was just a reef, at least she could put Qin Yi down and not be left with nowhere to stand.

In another, more distant direction, Tai Puzi caught up with the Limitless Sect Fan Rongzhi of the Wuji Sect. A moment later, Lu Longting joined them, and then the disciple from the Boundless Celestial Palace arrived. This man had never spoken to Qin Yi, and Qin Yi didn't know his name. Tai Puzi and the others naturally knew his name was Moyu Zi, as he was naturally a rather taciturn person.

Besides Qin Yi's family, the only other survivors from the Blood Nether Realm were Zheng Yunyi and Taiyi Sect, whose Gu Xin are unknown.

"Where are Brother Zheng and Brother Gu? Does anyone know where they went?"

"Have no idea."

After a brief exchange, everyone fell silent.

"Forget about them." Tai Puzi sighed and said to everyone, "I am sending this message to all of you to gather together. I still want to advise you not to tell the sect about Qin Yi and the monster. Please keep it a secret for him."

Fan Rongzhi said, "Brother Taipu is kind, but this matter... is probably not easy to hide. Both of our junior brothers died here, and our sect will definitely ask for details. We should explain everything that happened clearly."

Tai Puzi said, "It's easy to hide it if you want to. Just don't mention her identity, and say that she has some clever tricks up her sleeve."

Fan Rongzhi remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Why is Brother Dao doing this?"

Tai Puzi said, "Even if fighting side by side later can only be considered cooperation, Qin Yi saved us from the monster before, isn't that a favor? If we don't repay the favor and instead put him in a bad public opinion, I won't Dao Heart at ease, and I'm afraid I can forget about cultivation in the future."

Everyone was moved and sighed softly.

Lu Longting finally spoke slowly, "The distinction between human and demon is an excuse. Jealousy of Qin Yi is the real reason."

These words were a blatant slap in the face to everyone, and even Moyu Zi Fan Rongzhi blushed with embarrassment.

The debate between humans and transvestites may be very solid, but normally it wouldn't happen if the other party had just helped them. Even if they wanted to save face, they wouldn't turn on each other on the spot.

Tai Puzi was probably really stubborn about the distinction between humans and demons, which is why he spoke so much to Qin Yi, but he meant well; while others didn't say much, but that didn't mean they were really focused on this.

They were just jealous and used this knife against Qin Yi.

They were no match for Qin Yi in a head-on confrontation, and he repeatedly humiliated them. Now that they had such a good excuse to smear him, how many people could stand it?

However, most of them still had some sense of shame and didn't talk much. The Taiyi Sect Gu Xin, who hadn't come yet, probably harbored such jealousy towards Qin Yi that it bordered on hatred. That's why his previous words were all barbs.

It's that simple.

"I'm also jealous of Qin Yi, jealous that he's stronger than me at such a young age, and even more jealous that my junior sister's heart belongs to him." Lu Longting slowly said, "I should say that I'm more jealous of him than any of you. But I can't bring myself to use that as an excuse to suppress Qin Yi. This time in the Blood Nether Realm, without Qin Yi risking his life, we would all be dead long ago. How can I have such a face!"

Tai Puzi bowed and said, "Brother Lu, you are at ease."

"No, I've already fallen to Lower Vehicle. At least... my jealousy hasn't disappeared; it still lingers. I didn't speak up for him in the Blood Nether Realm." Lu Longting sighed softly. "My master once said that I wasn't as magnanimous as Junior Brother Chu. Don't be fooled by my current strength; the deeper my cultivation, the more likely Junior Brother Chu will surpass me. I used to disagree, but now it seems my master was right. Because of this lingering resentment, my swordsmanship in this life will be severely limited."

Moyu Zi also bowed. "If you can face yourself squarely, Brother Lu's path may not be so narrow. It is we who are ashamed, for we have never dared to face our own hearts."

Fan Rongzhi sighed, "Fine, you've made me sound like a villain... You're worried about your conscience affecting your cultivation, but I'm just as worried. Fine, I can go back and cover it up for him, but don't forget, Gu Xin and Zheng Yunyi have gone back, so this can't be kept secret."

Tai Puzi shook his head. "We can't control what others do. Even if they promise not to tell, they might secretly tell us back home. What can we do then? It's enough that we can be true to our own conscience."

Everyone bowed and said, "Brother Dao is right."

After the ceremony, everyone smiled at each other. Tai Puzi then said, "My words earlier were a bit hurtful. If I ever meet Cheng Maiden in the future, I will apologize to her."

Fan Rongzhi asked, "Brother Dao, has your opinion on demons changed?"

"No," Tai Puzi shook his head. "Personal favors are personal favors, and racial grudges are racial grudges. In recent years, the Great Qian Dynasty has been in chaos, and demons that eat people are everywhere. I will not change my opinion of these scaly creatures because of Cheng Maiden's favor. Besides, precedents have already proven that once these demons become powerful, it will surely be a catastrophe for mankind. We cannot lose sight of the long-term consequences because of a momentary favor."

Lu Longting laughed heartily, turned and left. "Brother Dao is right. In the future, when we slay demons, if Cheng Maiden wants me to repay her kindness, I'll simply give her my life. I'm off."

With a flash of sword light, Lu Longting disappeared.

The four of them also went their separate ways.

Gu Xin caught up with Zheng Yunyi: "Junior Brother Zheng, please wait."

Zheng Yunyi glanced at him sideways and smiled slightly, "Greetings, Senior Brother Gu."

Gu Xin said, "Tai Puzi is extremely pedantic. There's probably nothing to talk about if we try to communicate telepathically. I see that Junior Brother Zheng is ignoring it too; does he think the same way I do?"

Zheng Yunyi laughed and said, "Anyway, I know what he wants to say, and there's nothing nice about it."

Gu Xin assumed that Zheng Yunyi shared the same opinion, so she said, "That's good. I was worried that no one would believe my side of the story. Now that both of us are testifying, Qin Yi won't be able to get rid of this label."

Zheng Yunyi smiled but did not answer.

Just then, a streak of light rapidly approached. "Junior Nephew Zheng, why are you the only one who came out?"

However, the leader of the Scheming Sect was an elder of the Huiyang sect, who was also the leader of the abandoned disciples of the Witch God Sect, the Huiyang-level Great Witch Lin Rushan.

Zheng Yunyi asked curiously, "Why is Uncle-Master Lin here by such a coincidence?"

"I sense the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow." Lin Rushan looked up into the distance. "It's nearby, but I'm not sure of the exact location. Do you know anything about it?"

Zheng Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then Gu Xin spoke first, "Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, is that the Blood Jade that Qin Yi refined?"

Lin Rushan grabbed him and said urgently, "You knew?"

"I know, it's with Qin Yi." Gu Xin tentatively asked, "Senior, are you going to...?"

"Where is Qin Yi? Take me to him!" Lin Rushan's expression turned ferocious. "Hurry up!"

Gu Xin glanced at Zheng Yunyi, but Zheng Yunyi stood with his hands in his sleeves, remaining silent. Gu Xin paused for a moment, then said, "Li Qingjun took him away; they shouldn't have gone far... Junior Brother Zheng also knows his location; you and your uncle can go find him together."

Zheng Yunyi said in a cool tone, "The Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow has nothing to do with my sect. If Uncle Lin insists on looking for it, then I'll trouble Senior Brother Gu to take him there. There are too many things to do right now, and I'm in a hurry to return to my sect to report to my master, so I won't get involved."

After saying that, he turned and flew away.

Lin Rushan watched his retreating figure with a burning hatred. Zheng Yunyi and his group of newly surrendered Witcher were never of one mind, but he never expected that Zheng Yunyi would refuse to even help with this simple task of guiding them. He needed Heavenly Mystery Child, so he couldn't force Zheng Yunyi.

"Once I obtain the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow, I'll see how I deal with you!" Lin Rushan thought bitterly, grabbing Gu Xin's collar tightly, his expression ferocious. "Take me to Qin Yi immediately!"
