Ren Shaohua had passed out from the pain.
When the centipede poison saliva appeared, Chen Yu noticed Senior Brother Ren's unusually violent reaction and examined him closely. Only then did he discover that Senior Brother Ren's meridians were incredibly fragile.
Thinking it over, he realized it must have happened during the attack when the new disciples first joined the sect. The Black-Robed Elder had devoured the surrounding spiritual power. Although Senior Brother Ren had escaped without having all his meridians severed outright, he had still sustained irreparable injuries.
No wonder Senior Brother Ren had been assigned this sect mission. His supposed sixth layer of Qi Refining had probably long since become an empty title.
Meanwhile, seeing Senior Brother Ren inexplicably collapse unconscious, Lü Yanyan was both shocked and furious! Good thing I didn't give him the entire Azure Flower. Otherwise, it would all have gone to waste!
"Go!"
Wu Wenjie fought desperately on his own.
"All right!"
Lü Yanyan answered loudly.
Without another thought, she grabbed Chen Yu's arm. But when she tried to drag her junior brother away in a certain direction, she found that his feet seemed rooted to the ground. She could not budge him.
Two Evergreen Sect disciples were already charging toward them with sabers.
She was frantic.
"Junior Brother, hurry!"
"Wait a little longer."
Chen Yu still did not move.
"Wait for what?" Lü Yanyan was utterly baffled.
Senior Brother Wu has already held several of them back. Why aren't we seizing this chance to escape?!
We're outnumbered.
And we've even been poisoned with centipede poison saliva!
"They'll be here any moment." Chen Yu smiled at Senior Sister Lü, then called to Wu Wenjie, who was resisting with all his strength, "Please hold on a little longer, Senior Brother. Our help will be here soon."
