Elder Shi also noticed, his brow furrowing as he looked intently.
High above, a streak of light shot down, its landing point precisely at the Backer Sect's mountain gate!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out the streak of light wasn't just anything—it was a person!
It was…
Tianji Zhenren!
At this moment, Tianji Zhenren's face was a dark red, his body covered in cracks, as if he were about to split apart.
His left arm had been torn off, and there was a clear, bloody hole in his abdomen!
He had suffered a violent, critical blow and was now on the verge of death!
"Peak Master Tianji!"
Elder Shi exclaimed!
He was originally an elder of Celestial Secrets Peak.
Today, it was just his turn to be on duty. Seeing his Peak Master in such a state, he was greatly alarmed.
Hua Yunfei immediately waved his hand, sending out gentle spiritual energy that gathered into a cloud, catching the falling Tianji Zhenren.
Elder Shi quickly stepped forward, holding Tianji Zhenren.
At this moment, Tianji Zhenren had already lost some of his senses, his eyes half-closed, on the verge of passing out at any moment.
He used the last of his strength to shout, "Damn it, there's an assassin!"
Hua Yunfei: "..."
Elder Shi: "..."
Ye Bufan: "..."
Chapter 10: Tianji Zhenren's Pain
After speaking, Tianji Zhenren pointed to his backside, "Cover me up, I'm so embarrassed."
Hua Yunfei looked and saw…
Holy crap!
Elder Shi was almost in tears, but at this moment, he nearly burst out laughing. The hands holding Tianji Zhenren were trembling.
He was enduring it with great difficulty!
Ye Bufan tried his best to restrain himself. The matter of the Peak Master being ambushed was very serious.
He couldn't laugh!
He had to be polite!
"Ahem."
Hua Yunfei tried not to look, injecting a large amount of spiritual energy into Tianji Zhenren's body to help stabilize his injuries.
Then, he took out a piece of clothing and covered Tianji Zhenren's body.
He looked at Elder Shi and instructed, "Don't let anyone else know about this. Uncle-Master Tianji values his reputation."
"Don't worry, everyone in the Backer Sect knows how tight-lipped I, Shi Changsheng, am!"
Elder Shi patted his chest to guarantee it, nodding very readily. He was indeed very tight-lipped!
Tianji Zhenren used all his remaining strength to hold the clothes over his backside, looking at Hua Yunfei, "Take me to see the Sect Master. If I don't kill that son of a bitch, I'll shave my head and become a monk!"
His tone was filled with despair and a hint of crying.
"Go and summon the Peak Masters of the four peaks. We'll convene at Backer Peak for a discussion!"
Hua Yunfei, carrying Tianji Zhenren and Ye Bufan, flew towards Backer Peak. Elder Shi, meanwhile, rushed to the peaks to invite the other Peak Masters.
"What… what happened to him?"
Looking at Tianji Zhenren lying on the bed, Yun Tian Zhenren was initially furious. But when he lifted the clothes, he was stunned.
Amitabha.
What is this…
Yun Tian Zhenren said angrily, "Who injured my junior brother? How could they use such vicious methods?"
Aside from Hua Yunfei, the Peak Masters of the other peaks were all once genius disciples of the Backer Sect, and they naturally referred to each other as senior or junior brothers.
Tianji Zhenren was already about to faint, but upon hearing Yun Tian Zhenren's words, he suddenly grabbed his hand and said mournfully, "Sect Master Senior Brother, Junior Brother is in so much pain! They've gone too far, how could they do this to me?"
"It really does hurt! It hurts just looking at it!" Yun Tian Zhenren agreed.
Even his backside felt a chill!
Hua Yunfei was also inwardly amazed. Such methods were truly despicable!
For cultivators with strong self-esteem, this was a critical blow, utterly humiliating!
"Sect Master! What happened to my junior brother?"
Gou Yuan Zhenren was the first to arrive, his face etched with worry.
He and Tianji Zhenren had been the closest of friends since their youth.
"Pfft, hahaha..."
However, after pulling aside his clothes, Gou Yuan Zhenren burst out laughing.
Meeting Tianji Zhenren's murderous gaze, he forcibly stopped, his body still trembling, occasionally letting out a stifled chuckle.
"You ungrateful friend!"
Tianji Zhenren cried out, nearly in tears.
When Xiaxuan Zhenren, Wuji Zhenren, and Di Shen Zhenren arrived, they first inquired about Tianji Zhenren's injuries and used their spiritual power to help him recover. However, they noticed Gou Yuan Zhenren still shaking in the corner.
Xiaxuan Zhenren's pretty face stiffened, and she spoke, "The Peak Master of one of the peaks was attacked and nearly died while he was out. You seem quite pleased about it? Can you be a bit more serious!"
Wuji Zhenren, known for his fiery temper, immediately chimed in, "Indeed, Junior Sister is right. This is too much. Brother, how can you be so flippant!"
Di Shen Zhenren, a man of few words, nodded in agreement.
"Alright, alright!"
Yun Tian Zhenren stepped forward to mediate. Then, as if by accident, he pulled aside Tianji Zhenren's clothes and said, "Let us first stabilize our junior brother's injuries. He seems to have been poisoned, so we need to detoxify him first."
Tianji Zhenren's face was dark red, a sign of the poison entering his body.
"Why is there a hole there...?"
Wuji Zhenren asked in confusion. He stepped forward for a closer look, his expression gradually becoming peculiar. He walked to the side, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably twitching upwards.
Di Shen Zhenren, with his sharp eyes, saw it immediately. He let out a soft cough, pretending not to have seen it, but the corners of his mouth slowly lifted.
Xiaxuan Zhenren's face froze, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her pretty face. She turned away and said, "Sect Leader Brother, you're being indecent too!"
Detoxification, why would you need to take off his clothes? It was absolutely intentional!
What an indecent old man!
Yun Tian Zhenren chuckled awkwardly and covered the clothes back up.
Tianji Zhenren had already fainted from humiliation.
He hadn't expected that compared to his injuries, his private parts were of more interest to the old fellows.
Hua Yunfei said, "I have a pill here. I obtained it by chance during my recent outing. After Senior Uncle Tianji takes it, he should be able to recover completely."
As he spoke, he took out a Saint Pill. The pill was grayish-white and emitted a halo. The surface of the pill even had cloud-like patterns!
Yun Tian Zhenren exclaimed in surprise, "A Saint Pill with pill clouds is truly top-grade. Such a pill to treat such a minor injury is too extravagant."
Saying that, Yun Tian Zhenren took the Saint Pill and stored it in his Purple Mansion Grotto-Heaven. "We will first use our spiritual power to heal Junior Brother's wounds, then feed him some lower-grade pills. If that doesn't work, the Saint Pill can be used to save his life."
"Damn it, this guy is really trying to hoard everything! He's even trying to swallow the Saint Pill given by his junior nephew!"
Gou Yuan Zhenren was speechless, but he didn't say anything.
After all, he also believed that although Tianji Zhenren's injuries were serious, they weren't so severe as to warrant using a Saint Pill. With his Celestial Realm cultivation, he wouldn't die easily!
A Celestial Realm expert's every word and action could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, resonating with the Great Dao. They could regrow severed limbs and revive their bodies even when severely injured!
As long as the others could remove the poison from Tianji Zhenren's body, he could recover on his own.
As the group joined forces to remove the poison from Tianji Zhenren's body, their expressions gradually turned grave.
Hua Yunfei said, "It's Blood Poison! The venom of a Blood Demon!"
Blood Demons were similar to the Crimson Fiends that had appeared in the sky above Luoyang City two days prior.
However, compared to Blood Demons, Crimson Fiends could only be said to have a slight blood relation; they couldn't compare to Blood Demons at all.
Blood Demons were a royal branch of the Primordial Demon Clan. They fed on blood, cultivated through blood, possessed powerful physiques, and were extremely dangerous.
A cultivator at the same realm would find it difficult to defeat a Blood Demon of the same realm!
