Chapter 104 – The Crisis Comes

“Let me take a look at the injuries on your body, as long as they are not too weird, I can handle them.” Feng Baichuan sighed as he walked over to the bed.

Yun Che, however, shook his head, “No need, this injury, I have my own way, so I won’t bother you. You guys are experiencing a great difficulty right now, there must be a lot of things that you, the Clan Chief, need to do, so don’t worry about us.”

Feng Baichuan didn’t insist and nodded: “That’s good, you guys first rest well here, if there is anything you need, just call out to us …… I hope those evil people can come a little later.”

Feng Baichuan pulled the door shut and walked out with a sad face. Yun Che tapped his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.

“Your injury really doesn’t matter? It was a fall from such a high place before.” Lan Xueruo asked worriedly.

Yun Che shook his head with a relaxed expression and smiled, “I remember that I told senior sister before, that I am a divine doctor. To a divine doctor, this small injury is nothing at all.”

The injuries on his body definitely belonged to serious injuries to others, but in his eyes, it could only be considered a small injury.

“Divine Doctor? Even if you really are some kind of divine doctor, can you be so reckless with your life!” Thinking that Yun Che had used his life to save himself twice in a row, Lan Xueruo’s eyes reddened slightly, “If you really die, in my entire life, it would be impossible for me to have peace of mind.”

“Haha,” Yun Che laughed, “Yuanba is absolutely right, Senior Sister is really a little too kind, originally, I was the one who dragged Senior Sister into this, and I was only the one who should be blaming myself, but now Senior Sister is blaming herself.”

Lan Xueruo’s eyes slightly rippled, biting her lips a bit, she softly said, “Senior Brother Yun, in the future, don’t be like before, okay? In fact, I have a lot of protective treasures on my body, so I won’t get hurt that easily. If there’s something similar again, you can’t protect yourself in front of me without regard to your life, just protect yourself.”

“I can’t do that.” Yun Che, however, shook his head firmly.

“Why can’t you do it? You don’t value your own life that much?” Lan Xueruo’s heart skipped a beat.

“No! I cherish my life, no matter at any time, I will never allow myself to die. It’s just that …… it’s just that ……” Yun Che closed his eyes, not allowing Lan Xueruo to see the wretched sadness that flared up in the depths of his eyes, “I was once ashamed of a girl who was the best to me …… She ended up, however, dying in my arms because of me……. The pain of that moment, I think that even after ten lifetimes and ten worlds, it is impossible to forget. From that day on, I swore that I would never let the girl who was good to me be hurt …… ever again!”

“…… That girl, shouldn’t be your current wife, right?” Lan Xueruo looked at Yun Che, her eyes penetrating a complexity that she herself did not understand.

“Of course not. But she was also quite good to me, so I should be considered good to her, as well.” Thinking of Xia Qingyue, Yun Che gently smiled. Those few days when he shared a bed with her, even though it was short, it was still very beautiful to recall. It was just that in the future, it was possible that he would never see her again, but in the capacity of a ‘wife’, she was firmly imprinted in his heart and mind. Because this was his first wife in two lifetimes – even if there was the name of husband and wife but not the reality of husband and wife.

“Senior Yun, you are only sixteen years old! At such a young age not only have you gotten married, but there are also girls who have perished because of you …… Maybe there are other girls who have also been scourged by you. Promiscuous and sentimental men have seen a lot, like your age so young, is really the first time to see Oh.” Lan Xueruo laughed and said. She was well aware of Yun Che’s “wife” status. Because she had had people make a special trip to Crescent Moon City a few days ago to investigate everything about Yun Che, the fact that his wife, Xia Qingyue, was a disciple of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace was already well known in Liuyun City. It also made the Xia Clan that she was a part of vaguely become the number one giant in Liuyun City that no one dared to mess with. After all, among the four great sects, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace had the least number of disciples and was notoriously protective.

Yun Che smiled a non-committal smile and asked in return, “Then does Senior Sister have a person of interest right now?”

“Me? Of course not. Senior Sister wouldn’t be like you, flirting around at such a young age.” Lan Xueruo pursed her lips and smiled.

“Whew, thankfully there isn’t one, or else I would be heartbroken to death.” Yun Che let out a small sigh of relief, and even his complexion loosened up a lot.

“…… You little boy! Saying that you’re promiscuous doesn’t wrong you at all.” Lan Xueruo tilted her nose, a look of anger on her face. Then she tilted up her stunningly beautiful cheeks again, with a slight longing between her expressions, “The one your Senior Sister I’m going to marry in the future is a world-conquering hero who’s strong enough to conquer the world, and this promiscuous little boy like you is not my dish at all, not to mention the fact that you’re already married.”

Yun Che: “……”

“Rest well. Little Snow was too tired from flying before and its power was overdrawn, so it might have to slumber for a while. When it wakes up, we can leave this place. As for the people here, I’ve promised those two little ones that I’ll help them within my ability.”

After speaking a few words with Yun Che, he clearly felt that the more he spoke, the more strained he became, so he stopped bothering over. Walking out, he gently closed the door of the room.

“Interested in what they are guarding?” As soon as Lan Xueruo left, Jasmine suddenly said.

“That’s for sure!” Yun Che closed his eyes and said, “Since it has the aura of a phoenix, it’s highly likely that it’s something left behind by a phoenix! Ancient divine beast Phoenix, ah! Even if it’s just a single bird feather, it’s still at the Divine Xuan level! Now that an outsider has discovered this place, even if they didn’t get what they were guarding, it’s highly likely that they’ll spread the word about this place, and when that happens, there’s no telling whose hands it’ll fall into.”

“Hmph! The things of the Ancient Divine Beasts are not something that mortals can get their hands on.” Jasmine snorted coldly with disdain and stopped speaking, seemingly as a warning to Yun Che.

In the quiet, Yun Che checked the wounds on his body, then sank his spirit into the Heavenly Poison Bead, and soon found a dozen or so medicinal herbs that he wanted to find, and after melting them briefly, he obtained a cloud of pitch-black gelatinous substance, which he evenly applied on his left shoulder, then closed his eyes, and soon went into a deep sleep.

When Yun Che woke up again, it was already the next morning, and he was woken up by the chaotic sounds coming from outside.

“If …… you’re sensible, you should immediately undo that sealing formation in the back of the mountain! You are the guardian family here, so you must have a way to undo it! Don’t toast to it!” Such a rough and grumpy voice, mixed with a thick ferocity and threat.

“That sealing formation has always existed, and we have absolutely no idea what it is! Much less know how to undo it! We are just a tiny clan that lives in seclusion here, if there was really some kind of treasure, how would our clan have been reduced to such a state.” This was Feng Baichuan’s voice.

“Hahahahaha! Do you think we are three year olds? Will believe your bullshit! Today, our leader and vice leader have already come in person, if you guys keep beating a dead horse for me, believe it or not, we will exterminate your entire clan!” ……

Are these voices …… ……

Yun Che quickly sat up from the bed, his left shoulder was still in severe pain, and his movements were not flexible, but compared to yesterday, he was already much better, and the big and small injuries on his body had been healed by nearly half, and his body was no longer as weak as it was yesterday, so at least walking normally was no longer a problem. He was just about to get out of bed when the door to his room was pushed open, Lan Xueruo hurriedly rushed in, seeing that Yun Che had already woken up, he anxiously said, “Senior Brother Yun, it’s not good, that Black Demon Mercenary Regiment actually came today, with more than a hundred people in their entirety, and completely blocked the entrance to the village.”

“How could it be so fast?” Yun Che frowned for a while.

“Patriarch Feng and the others were also caught off guard, and now the entire clan is already on alert.” Lan Xueruo’s expression was filled with anxiety.

At this moment, another loud roar came from outside: “Is that little beauty from yesterday right here with you! No treasures? That’s fine too! Hand over that little beauty to me first! Let the great masters have fun first, and perhaps, forget about the treasure, hahahaha.”

A large amount of lustful laughter came from far away. Yun Che’s brows furiously locked …… He suddenly understood why this mercenary group called “Black Devil” would suddenly attack over with such urgency …… Obviously, they weren’t sure if there were any treasures here before, and from the people here, they were not sure if there were any treasures. There are no treasures, from the XuanLi cultivation of the people here, as long as the brain normal people are judged even if there are really any treasures, or not go anywhere. But yesterday, Lan Xueruo and the three people of this mercenary group had exchanged hands, and with Lan Xueruo’s appearance, it was enough for them to be amazed by the heavenly beings. They rushed here not for any treasures, but for Lan Xueruo! Fearing that they would let her escape by taking a step at night.

“This gang of villains!” Lan Xueruo bit her lips lightly for a moment, her face filled with anger: “Senior Brother Yun, you’re injured, stay here properly, don’t go out, I’ll go teach them a lesson.”

If Lan Xueruo had killed those three people directly yesterday, it wouldn’t have caused them to attack so impatiently. Yun Che couldn’t blame Lan Xueruo, after all, she was still just a young girl, her heart was already soft, as he pulled Lan Xueruo, he asked with a staring brow, “What cultivation level are the people in this mercenary group?”

“It seems to be limited by the criteria for joining the troupe, all of them are above the Beginning Xuan Realm! The lowest Xuan power is also the first level of the Entering Xuan Realm, there are more than eighty from the first to fifth level, more than thirty above the fifth level of the Entering Xuan Realm, and there are also four people …… who should be their leader and vice leader, who have even reached the True Xuan Realm.” Lan Xueruo frowned. Such a lineup could not possibly be resisted by Feng Baichuan’s people who were only at the tenth level of the Primordial Xuan Realm.

“True Xuan Realm ……,” Yun Che took in a slight breath, and his hand that was holding Lan Xueruo tightened a few points at once: “No way! You can’t go! You heard their shouts just now, they’re most likely targeting you this time around, more than a hundred Entry Xuan Realm and not to mention that, just those few True Xuan Realm leaders alone are simply not something we can deal with.”

“They have completely blocked off the village entrance, even if they want to escape, they can’t, and …… perhaps I can barely deal with it.” As Lan Xueruo spoke, she reached out and unlocked the pearl necklace around her neck, and for a moment, her Xuan Force aura climbed rapidly amidst Yun Che’s astonished eyes, “The pearl on this necklace is called the ‘Lock Xuan Pearl’, and when wearing it, it is able to suppress the wearer’s Xuan Force by five levels. My true xuan power cultivation is the third level of the True Xuan Realm, they didn’t hurt me that easily.”

The change in Lan Xueruo’s Xuan Force caused Yun Che to be surprised. An eighteen year old True Xuan Realm Level 3 …… was an astonishing realm that did not belong to Crescent City’s first genius, Xiao Luocheng, at all! He was surprised, “Senior sister, why would you ……”

“I didn’t really want to draw too much attention to myself, that’s why I chose this. Anyway, you stay here and I will find a way to take you out of here.”

After finishing her sentence, Lan Xueruo was about to leave, but was once again pulled by Yun Che, “Even if Senior Sister has the strength of the True Xuan Realm, the other party, however, is a whole four True Xuan Realms! Perhaps, their average rank is even above yours……. If there’s absolutely no way back, I’ll go out with you.”
