Cause of the Injury

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xuan Yi looked at the two little girls again, her eyes softening. Finally, she looked deeply at Xiao Tian, knowing full well the extent of his injuries.

But the other party was still able to heal him, and even said that it was within his ability. Even when he was at his peak, it would have taken a lot of effort to heal this kind of injury.

The man in front of her seemed increasingly mysterious, and she had never heard of such a person on the mainland. From his aura, she could tell that he was not a rogue cultivator.

Xuan Yi couldn't help but sigh, the person in front of him was even more outstanding and mysterious than the one before, especially his appearance, which was like that of Fallen Immortal being.

"What, is there something on my face?" Xiao Tian asked, tilting his head as he noticed the other person staring at him.

Xuan Yi hurriedly looked away, and thinking about how she had just acted, she couldn't help but blush slightly with embarrassment. She thought to herself, "Does the other person think I'm some kind of pervert? Oh no, oh no."

Xiao Tian glanced at Xuan Yi's appearance. Although the man was nearly a hundred years old, he spent most of his time in Secluded Cultivation, only venturing out when he was young.

In a way, Medusa— she lived a long time, but she's a bit naive and innocent. However, Xuan Yi has experienced more, so overall she's more mature than Medusa.

Meanwhile, in Ten Thousand Snake Gorge, a one-sided massacre is taking place.

Medusa stood high in the sky and casually slapped a snake-headed, human-bodied man who had escaped from the valley into dust.

She suddenly felt a stinging sensation in her nose, as if someone was talking badly about her. Xiao Tian's handsome face involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she thought to herself:

"It must be this scoundrel who's been talking behind my back. Humph, he'll ruin my ambitions! Just you wait, you scoundrel, watch us build a vast empire for you, and make you realize your dream of becoming the world's number one gigolo."

As she pondered, Medusa revealed a charming, alluring, and dazzlingly beautiful smile, and she even reached out to touch her belly.

"Fei Yan Sister, what are you laughing at?" Qing Lin, who was standing next to Medusa, asked curiously.

She patted Qing Lin's little head. "It's nothing."

She instantly banished those thoughts from her mind, reverting to her cold and authoritative demeanor. Her icy gaze swept across the area below, and she coldly commanded, "Accelerate the attack! Those who resist, kill!!!"

Upon hearing this, the people from the Free and Unfettered Hall below began to swing their weapons recklessly, showing no sign of defense whatsoever.

There's no way around it; the Free and Unfettered Hall has abundant resources. Injured? Then take some medicine. They may not have much else, but they have plenty of medicine. After all, among the many projects that the Free and Unfettered Hall mainly operates, the largest is pills.

The people of the Free and Unfettered Hall, after killing all the rebels, even crushed every egg inside, and split the earthworms vertically—they were all about being safe.

The girls all had clearly defined roles: Medusa and Qing Lin were responsible for expanding their territory, Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun were responsible for overall coordination and observing the movements of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, while Ya Fei, Han Yue, Han Xue and others were responsible for logistics and supplies.

Without Xiao Tian's sexual harassment, the women all displayed the demeanor of strong women, managing the entire Free and Unfettered Hall in an orderly manner, and their territory continued to expand.

As for Xiao Ding, Hai Bo Dong, and others, they were responsible for taking over and managing the new territory and stabilizing the situation there.

Beside the campfire, Xiao Tian, facing the Xuan Yi whose cheeks still bore a hint of redness, asked the question he had asked earlier:

"Speaking of which, given your status and strength, no one or any force should have attacked you, so how did you end up injured here?"

Xiao Tian was also very curious about the reason for Xuan Yi's injury, and he had a guess, but he had not yet officially confirmed it.

A hint of embarrassment crept onto Xuan Yi's refined face once again. He hadn't left Saint Pill City for so many years, and this was the result of his recent trip out.

She subtly rolled her eyes, feeling utterly humiliated and embarrassed in his presence. She sensed that her image had completely crumbled in his eyes.

She gathered her thoughts, quickly composed herself, and slowly began to speak:

"I needed to refine a pill, but the Pill Tower didn't have the herbs I needed, so I came to the Southern Central State, because Southern Central State's sparsely populated and has a relatively abundant supply of medicinal herbs."

Xiao Tian nodded slightly. The Southern Central State is the domain of magical beasts. Anyone without strength who enters will quickly become their excrement.

"I searched for a long time and finally found the medicinal herbs I needed. Next to the herbs was a Guardian Beast. Its strength was roughly equivalent to Five Revolution Dou Zun, but considering its physical strength, it was probably about the same as Six-Revolutions Dou Zun. To get the herbs, I must defeat it."

After describing the beast's strength, Xuan Yi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, because he was a peak Nine Revolution Dou Zun, and despite the huge difference in strength, he had to fight it for a long time before defeating it.

After saying this, Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Tian and, seeing the other's somewhat resentful expression, rolled her eyes helplessly. "Laugh if you want to."

"Ahem, how could I be that kind of person? You've misunderstood." Xiao Tian coughed lightly, sat up straight, and spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"After all, I'm primarily Alchemist, so it's reasonable that my combat strength is somewhat lacking, right?"

"Yes, you're right, that's exactly what you said. So you were injured by a magical beast?" Xiao Tian glanced at her, thinking to himself, "Once you know my Combat Power and Alchemist level, you'll probably be embarrassed for a long time."

Hearing Xiao Tian's insincere words, Xuan Yi secretly rolled her eyes. Even if she were an idiot, she could tell that he was just being perfunctory. She thought to herself, "I'll show you my alchemy skills later, and you'll be amazed."

Her red lips parted slightly as she continued, "Ultimately, despite the difference in our cultivation levels, I managed to drive it away. Just as I was about to pick the medicinal herbs, someone suddenly launched a sneak attack on me."

"People from the Soul Hall?"

"How did you know?" Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Tian in confusion.

"I've fought against people from the Soul Hall before. When I was healing you, I vaguely sensed that the aura above you was very similar to theirs."

"It was them. It was Three Venerables of the Soul Hall who attacked. Although I reacted in time, I was still injured... After a fierce fight, I was no match for him and escaped with serious injuries. However, he was also in bad shape. When I woke up again, I was here."

Xuan Yi said with a slightly gloomy expression, "The people from the Soul Hall often attack Alchemist like us, and this time I almost suffered the same fate."
