As for why they had brought the man out of the Fifth Domain, Yuan Gang naturally explained the reason clearly.
Though it had been a trap he himself had laid, Niu Youdao still felt as if he were listening to a heavenly book as he looked at Lü Wushuang's ghostly state.
It seemed reasonable, yet still somewhat beyond expectation.
He felt neither smug nor inclined to dwell on how effective the contingency he had left behind had proven to be. Instead, he directly placed his hands on Lü Wushuang, pressing a palm against her body to examine whether her cultivation had truly been crippled.
Once he confirmed it was true, he could not help feeling a wave of lingering fear as he looked at Lü Wushuang's ghastly appearance. Luckily, he had not messed around too recklessly with that pyramid back then. Otherwise, this would have been his fate—perhaps an even worse one.
This was Lü Wushuang! Recalling their first meeting outside Boundless Garden, when this woman had possessed the grace of an immortal maiden descending to earth, Niu Youdao could not help sighing inwardly and shaking his head. The lofty Unparalleled Saint Venerable had her Dantian and sea of qi destroyed, all her cultivation lost. To this woman, that was likely harder to accept than death itself.
He did not give much thought to his own contingency, but Lü Wushuang, who was staring hard at him, was deeply caught up in it. So this was the culprit who had reduced her to this state. Her hoarse voice was thick with fury as she said, "Niu Youdao? Are you Niu Youdao?"
Niu Youdao gave a half-smile but did not answer. He said to Yun Ji, "Her injuries are indeed rather severe. Give her some good medicine. Use a Heavenly Aid Pill!"
