Su Yi stumbled, his right hand clutching his waist as he walked upward with a face full of pain.
Ever since he had endured the agony of merging with the Great Dao Phone, this level of pain was nothing to him.
The greatest progress I've made since transmigrating to the Desolate Ancient era isn't my strength, but my ability to endure pain.
Su Yi thought with a bitter expression; before he had transmigrated, this kind of pain would have knocked him unconscious.
He struggled his way out of the massive crater, surrounded by rolling dust, as if the scene were the aftermath of a dust storm.
Just then, a graceful figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi looked up to see that it was none other than Wu Qingyao.
In her fluttering white dress, she looked like a celestial maiden descended to the mortal realm; this was the first time Su Yi had seen a woman of such breathtaking beauty.
However, his heart was already spoken for, so he felt no flutter of excitement, only frowning as he looked at her.
Wu Qingyao flipped her hand to produce a white jade bottle, walked toward Su Yi, and said, "This is a Bone Healing Pill; it can treat your injuries."
Su Yi did not reach for it immediately, instead asking, "Who are you?"
"Luoshui Sect, Wu Qingyao. We will be fellow disciples in the future."
Wu Qingyao said with a meaningful look; she assumed Su Yi didn't understand and was teasing him, letting him think he was joining the Luoshui Sect.
Wu Qingyao!
Su Yi realized, and immediately raised his hand, signaling for her to hand it over.
If Wu Qingyao dared to harm him while in the Emperor Su Sect, he could wipe her out instantly.
Moreover, he could tell that Wu Qingyao's eyes were clear; she did not seem like a despicable person.
Of course, one can know a person's face but not their heart. If Wu Qingyao was truly a master of disguise, then let this be a lesson!
It would teach him that a woman's heart is as deep as the ocean!
Wu Qingyao gave a light toss, throwing the white jade bottle to Su Yi.
After catching the bottle, Su Yi nodded and said, "If this medicine is real, I owe you a favor."
Counting it up, he owed every member of the Emperor Su Sect a favor; after all, since joining the sect, all members had contributed resources, and he had yet to offer anything in return.
Wu Qingyao shook her head, smiled faintly, and said, "Take care of yourself."
With that, she turned and left.
Humans and demons walk different paths. Even if she had joined the Emperor Su Sect, in reality, she had to keep her distance from demons.
Watching her retreating back, Su Yi opened the white jade bottle. There were five Bone Healing Pills inside; he poured one out and swallowed it immediately.
Even without taking the pill, his self-healing ability was quite strong, but recovering faster was always a good thing.
At the crossroads in the distance, Mo Haosheng watched with a livid expression, his fists clenched tight, while the group of Luoshui Sect disciples behind him exchanged glances.
Senior Sister Wu has a connection with a Half-Demon?
The Bone Healing Pill is a sacred healing medicine of the Luoshui Sect, and she just gave it away?
They all caught the scent of gossip, and at the same time, they all looked at Mo Haosheng's back with mockery.
Mo Haosheng was usually overbearing; even though these people often flattered him, they didn't think much of him at all in their hearts.
Does this spoiled brat really think he can marry Senior Sister Wu?
It wouldn't matter even if your father were the Sect Master!
Although Mo Haosheng didn't know the inner thoughts of his fellow disciples, he felt he had lost face, and even felt a sense of being betrayed.
Damn it... If I don't kill you in this lifetime, I am not a man!
Mo Haosheng roared firmly in his heart. From this moment on, his life goal was no longer to marry Wu Qingyao, but to slaughter Su Yi!
At the same time, the Four Elders of Great Wei were also scrutinizing Su Yi.
"This boy was able to destroy the physical body of Kuang Chu'e; he is strong! We must not make him an enemy!"
"There is something fishy about that sword of his!"
"Magical treasures are also a part of one's strength!"
"We must win him over!"
The Four Elders of Great Wei made a quick decision, planning to stay in Xiwan City for a while longer to get closer to Su Yi.
After Kuang Chu'e fled, Xiwan City did not return to peace, because the Qiling Holy Lotus was still there.
Fortunately, the range of the Qiling Holy Lotus's vines remained within a kilometer, so it did not cause major casualties or destruction to Xiwan City.
Inside the helicopter circling in the sky, the reporter focused the camera on the Qiling Holy Lotus. Looking at the lotus amidst the dust and fog, everyone was nervous, and legends about the Qiling Holy Lotus began to spread.
A legendary evil spirit!
It would give birth to a demon that would slaughter the world!
Anyone who heard this would be filled with anxiety.
The Luoshui Sect disciples also sent the news back to report to the higher-ups of the Luoshui Sect.
The appearance of the Qiling Holy Lotus would inevitably turn Xiwan City into a forbidden zone for the world, and there might even be many major powers sending experts to suppress the Qiling Holy Lotus.
Once the Qiling Holy Body was born, the world would surely fall into chaos!
On the other side, Wu Qingyao also spread this news within the Emperor Su Sect.
Black Tiger Emperor: Kuang Chu'e of the Western Buddha Dynasty was almost killed? Can a Half-Demon really be this powerful?
Old Lord Qiyang: This kid's growth rate is so terrifying? He is truly a genius valued by the Emperor Su!
Qingyan Devil Lord: Really? Although the Western Buddha Dynasty lacks top-tier experts, they still have Nascent Soul cultivators guarding them. A mortal can defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator after only one month of cultivation?
Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: He uses a sword? Interesting, I even want to take him as my disciple.
Demon Wolf Star: The Qiling Land, is it? I am already on my way!
Nowadays, all members of the Emperor Su Sect knew that the Emperor Su was cultivating a mortal, and was leading him down the path of a demon; being able to slay a Nascent Soul cultivator in one month was beyond reason.
Except for Demon Wolf Star, the others were merely interested and had no intention of going to the Qiling Land to muddy the waters.
Su Yi, who was currently healing his wounds, also noticed Demon Wolf Star's words.
This guy is actually coming...
Sitting cross-legged by the edge of the pit, Su Yi frowned. As of now, he was still unwilling to meet with members of the Emperor Su Sect to avoid exposing himself.
Moreover, Demon Wolf Star was clearly stronger than Old Lord Qiyang; one could tell from this demon's chat style that he was cruel and cunning. If he were an enemy, he would become a nightmare.
However...
He was coming at just the right time!
He might just come in handy!
Su Yi thought to himself. The Western Buddha Dynasty would certainly not let this go, and the other six dynasties might also rush over. The future of Xiwan City would be far from peaceful.
Demon Wolf Star would be a trump card in his hand!
Immediately, Su Yi continued to heal his wounds.
About an hour later, his injuries were fully healed. It had to be said, the Bone Healing Pill was truly miraculous.
He stood up and returned to the side of the pit where the Qiling Holy Lotus was located. The surrounding vines seemed to have consciousness and did not attack him; he waited quietly.
Inside the pit, it was filled with dust and mist. He could not see the Qiling Holy Lotus at all, but he could sense the aura of Nan Xiaopao.
This girl was growing stronger rapidly!
"It seems to be true. Tsk tsk, the Qiling Holy Body—will she become a demonic entity in the future?"
Su Yi muttered to himself. He was not overly worried.
In his view, no constitution was purely evil; it was only the human heart that fell into the demonic path.
Although Nan Xiaopao was eccentric and mischievous, she was kind-hearted. Under his supervision, she would definitely not become the legendary demonic entity.
After all, he himself was a Half-Demon, and he was no better off.
The camera inside the Helicopter captured Su Yi, making people wonder: could Su Yi be related to the Qiling Holy Lotus?
Time passed slowly.
The moon set and the sun rose; soon, a day had passed.
The vines of the Qiling Holy Lotus lay between the streets, no longer rampaging, as if everything had returned to peace and tranquility.
Screech—
A shrill cry suddenly came from high above, and immediately after, a black dot plummeted, piercing through the clouds and crashing into Xiwan City.
