The fabric of the pant leg was already soaked with pus and fresh blood, sticking together. "It’s the poison of the Demon Sect... What a pity, I have an old Shitou with superb medical skills on the other side, all learned through practice, but he couldn’t come along. Otherwise, this poison would be nothing to him." "My method might be a bit painful." The young girl pressed her lips together and nodded. Li Guanyi pressed an acupoint and used a dagger to cut open the skin of the wound to let the blood out, then used his own internal strength to massage the qi and blood. Li Guanyi, carrying the legendary Martial Arts Legacy of the Immortal Body, was immune to all poisons. His skills also carried the ability to expel poison. Gradually, the young girl’s face began to show some color. Li Guanyi then used the Ze Trigram from the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture" to heal her wounds. The cut healed quickly, or perhaps she had been weary for too long, and the young girl fell into a deep sleep after the treatment. Li Guanyi saw Hao Yuanxia’s tense expression gradually ease. Hao Yuanxia said, "Back in the day, Lord You Shang, your martial arts were already number one among your peers, defeating both Yuwen Hua of the Yuwen Family and the young Sword Saint who was famous throughout the Martial World. I never thought that after not seeing you for these years, your martial arts have become as divine as gods and buddhas." Li Guanyi replied, "It’s just a matter of opportunity." Yuwen Hua should now have methods of the Fifth Layer Heaven. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fire·net The young Sword Saint, after being defeated by Li Guanyi in Jiangzhou City, the two had agreed to fight again someday. However, with the world in turmoil and the Martial World drifting apart, Li Guanyi ultimately never had the chance to meet the awe-inspiring Sword Intent of the young Sword Saint, Xu Huixiang. Hao Yuanxia whispered, "I’ve seen the young Sword Saint." "Back then in Jiangzhou City, he was one of the retainers under the Chen State Crown Prince, Chen Wenmian, competing with you in the grand tournament. These years, he seems to have returned here, joining Chen Wenmian’s side with a cultivation of the Fifth Layer Heaven, leading thousands on his own." "I saw them when they attacked my Dangxiang country." "All under him are swordsmen, the battle formation biting cold, unparalleled sharpness among the young generals, he is considered one of the strongest." The two were at a loss for words momentarily. Hao Yuanxia was silent for a moment, then suddenly bowed deeply and solemnly, saying: "Thank you truly this time. If it were not for you, I and Aya would have been in trouble. I’m a bit better off... But if Aya saved me and died because of me, I could never forgive myself." Li Guanyi asked in confusion, "I wanted to ask earlier, why is the Demon Sect chasing you? And why are you in this state?" Hao Yuanxia was silent for a long time and said, "It’s a long story." As he began to recount quietly, suddenly a strange rumbling came from his stomach, startling Hao Yuanxia, making his face flush red. Li Guanyi laughed heartily, but then, as if out of nowhere, produced two buns and handed them to him. Li Guanyi smiled, "It’s quite filling." Hao Yuanxia, surprised, looked around with wide eyes. Just a moment ago, it was only him and Li Guanyi, where did Li Guanyi get those buns?! Beside him, in a place Hao Yuanxia couldn’t see, the silver-haired girl had no expression, only raising her chin slightly. Unlike usual, she gave a light, smug hum. Shaking Light pulled the rope tighter, securing Li Guanyi’s pack. The buns were safely packed inside. Since starting the journey, the buns carried by the silver-haired girl had become part of Li Guanyi’s load. Hao Yuanxia looked at Li Guanyi unsure and decided to attribute it to the supposed mastery of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, saying, "Well, I won’t be polite then." It was evident he had truly suffered. The two big buns brought out were gone in an instant, while Shaking Light tended to the young girl inside. Hao Yuanxia drank some water, a bit embarrassed, telling Li Guanyi about past events as he drank. The story begins a long time ago. The Wolf King attacked Dangxiang Kingdom, and Dangxiang Kingdom found it hard to hold back, delaying the repeated requests for aid from Chen Country. The alliance between both sides was almost nullified, and this princely heir was nearly killed but eventually returned to the Dangxiang Kingdom. In two years of absence, the Dangxiang Kingdom’s ruler held little regard for the son who unexpectedly returned, even viewing him with the wariness of an alpha wolf toward an unfamiliar rival in his pack. The father-son relationship was strained, and at this time, Hao Yuanxia, who had been away from his homeland for a long time, suddenly noticed something was wrong... "My Dangxiang Kingdom has forsaken the Holy Mountain, given up past traditions." "My father established a new national religion and made a woman the State Preceptor. The woman was beautiful, eloquent, and all the high officials longed to be in her inner circle, but none succeeded." Hao Yuanxia said, "Instead, she manipulated them like chess pieces, telling my father that after cultivating the magic technique, he could practice dual cultivation with her. My father, therefore, became obsessed with the martial arts of the Demon Sect, and the woman became the regent." "The nation’s loyal ministers and generals were removed and replaced." Li Guanyi’s eyes lowered slightly, "Xiao Yuxue." Hao Yuanxia said, "You know her?" Li Guanyi touched the wooden sword at his waist and replied calmly: "Her head is already mine." Hao Yuanxia was slightly stunned, then, after a moment’s silence, said: "After my father proclaimed himself emperor, she seemed to become increasingly radical, as if there was a sword at her back, driving her to achieve her goals at all costs. Those who submitted to her rose to high positions, those who didn’t were eliminated by her."
