Chapter 776 - 748: All Unconscious

An aura of white mist enveloped the rocky lake of the desolate mountain, its shores lined with shocking sword marks; around it, mystical peaks with clusters of spiritual plants emitted strange radiance, blending beautifully and resembling the Immortal Realm.

Suddenly, a water pillar several feet high exploded from the calm lake surface, revealing a slender figure breaking through the waves, completely drenched and extremely disheveled.

"Divine Sense is about to be exhausted, I need to hurry back to the cave... Hopefully, those Outer Domain cultivators won’t come searching."

Sun Zhe paused mid-air, scanning the surroundings to confirm the direction, and after catching his breath slightly, a pair of black and white wings suddenly unfolded from his back, turning into a silhouette darting away.

...

Not half an hour after Sun Zhe left, a figure suddenly flickered on the mountainside of a mystical peak near the lake shore.

Silhouettes flew out from the crack leading to the underground, every one of them appearing disheveled.

The one leading them was the Wang Family’s Second Elder!

The Second Elder glared angrily into the distant sky, his old teeth nearly grinding to dust, "You little wretch, one day I’ll strip your sinews and skin!"

Beside him, Wang Yujun also gritted her teeth, recalling the humiliations endured, wishing she could tear that rogue apart right at this moment.

"By the way, Second Elder, where is the Great Elder?"

Wang Yujun suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the Second Elder’s eyes quivered, quickly scanning around with Divine Sense, and said solemnly, "Not good, previously we went down to support, leaving the Great Elder outside to deal with that vile beast. I don’t know the state of the battle... Juan’er, swiftly take people and search!"

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Wang Family launched a search centered around the stone lake, spending nearly two hours before finding the barely breathing Wang Family Great Elder in the deep mountains a few miles from the lake.

Without hesitation, the Second Elder took out a treasured lifesaving Treasure Pill to feed the Great Elder, and only when the medicinal power took effect did the Great Elder’s injuries gradually recover and he slowly came to.

"Great Elder, why are your injuries so severe?"

The Great Elder slowly got up with Wang Yujun’s help, speaking weakly, "That vile beast, indeed worthy as the heir of a Great Demon, its power truly is unmatched by us."

Hearing this, the Second Elder’s heart was shaken, exclaiming, "Great Elder possesses numerous clan secret techniques, and with the Wang Family’s grand formation support, yet not an opponent for that vile beast..."

The Great Elder snorted coldly, "But that vile beast is already gravely wounded and dying. Currently, it should be hiding at the lake bottom to heal its wounds, we can seize the opportunity to capture it!"

Saying this, he abruptly looked at the Second Elder with sharp eyes, "Second Elder, did you gain any spiritual veins, or capture those two legendary Great Demons’ corpses on this trip?"

"This..."

The Second Elder looked troubled, his eyes flickering, not daring to face the Great Elder.

Seeing his reaction, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in the Great Elder’s heart, he coldly said, "What’s going on exactly?"

Briefly.

After hearing the Second Elder narrate the encounters on this trip, the Great Elder nearly spat blood with anger.

To seize the precious treasures, the Wang Family had staked everything to break through barriers and enter the Kunlun Ancestral Land’s area, betting their entire family fortune, unexpectedly it ended up as wedding attire for an anonymous rogue cultivator!

"I’m so infuriated!"

The Great Elder radiated a ferocious aura, and all the Wang Family members lowered their heads, silent as cicadas in winter.

After a while, the Great Elder calmed his emotions and said, "Right now, the only way is to go down the lake to find that vile beast, kill it and bring back the corpse to compensate for some losses!"

So, with a command from the Great Elder, the Wang Family members dove to the lake bottom seeking the heavily injured Henggong Fish, attempting to make up for the losses.

...

...

Sun Zhe hadn’t yet reached the cave where he was hiding before, with Divine Sense already exhausted, he could hardly open his eyes, he helplessly landed and after resting for a while, climbed the steep escarpment and staggered into the cave, sitting down heavily on the ground, closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Mu Qingyan had already woken up at some unknown point, sitting weakly and meditating in front of the cave wall, and seeing Sun Zhe lying down asleep upon returning, she couldn’t help but feel curious.

After checking him over, she found that Sun Zhe wasn’t injured, just extremely exhausted Divine Sense.

"Never mind, this thing is of no use to me anyway."

With a twist of her jade hand, she retrieved a specially crafted sachet made with hundreds of exotic medicinal materials from her Storage Treasure.

Instantly, a strange fragrance like orchids and musk filled the stuffy cave, even the air seemed to become pleasantly cool and refreshing.

She placed the sachet on Sun Zhe’s chest, then shuffled back to her original spot, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes to rest.

In less than an hour, Sun Zhe awoke slowly.

He felt as if he had slept for a long, long time, now upon waking only felt completely refreshed and invigorated.

When he saw the sachet placed on his chest, he suddenly realized something, turning to Mu Qingyan beside him with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, fairy. Your sachet is truly miraculous, it even restores Divine Sense."

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan opened her eyes to look at him, her gaze was calm as a starry sky full of wonders, mysterious and deep.

"No worries. This item doesn’t work for me anymore, so consider it yours."

Sun Zhe looked at the exquisite sachet in his hand, thinking though it’s a woman’s item, a big man holding it is not appropriate, yet it’s indeed a good item, better to take than leave, so he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, fairy."

Mu Qingyan closed her eyes again, no longer speaking.

Sun Zhe raised his hand, hesitated to speak, then suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful view, causing the Yang Qi within him to lose control a bit.

Mu Qingyan was sitting cross-legged facing him, and from his sight angle, he could just see a faintly discernible beautiful scene.

That annoying gauze dress, almost see-through, it really is tantalizing!

For a moment, Sun Zhe suddenly had the urge to go over and tear off her gauze dress.

Yet towards such a powerful and unfathomable fairy from the Outer Domain, Sun Zhe only dared to fantasize inwardly, but wouldn’t dare to act.

Moreover, he’s still subjected to the Blood Soul Spell, should any bad thoughts arise, this fairy could directly activate the Blood Soul Spell and he’d be done for.

Sun Zhe only stole a few glances before averting his eyes, no longer speaking to disturb, inwardly releasing Divine Sense entering Ring Space, wanting to check on the Little Dragon Girl and Leng Yuening’s condition.

In the Ring Space.

Leng Yuening was still sitting cross-legged under a tree quietly cultivating; she seemed to have absorbed the treasure within the Inner Core, currently on the verge of breaking through.

The Little Dragon Girl remained unconscious, Sun Zhe called a few times with no response.

The giant egg was quietly placed on the grass, emitting strange light and colors, currently without any movement.

In the further distance, those two Great Demons’ corpses lay on the grass, resembling two lifelike statues.

Unexpectedly, the Henggong Fish had already transformed into a human figure, becoming a little girl looking about four or five years old, currently curled up sleeping soundly.

"Shouldn’t be any major problems, will have to wait for them to wake up themselves."

After observing for a while, Sun Zhe withdrew his Divine Sense, raised his eyes to Mu Qingyan in front, hesitated for a moment before asking, "By the way, fairy, may I ask where your Dao-seeking Lotus originated from?"

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan opened her eyes, showing a touch of wariness.

"Why do you know about the Dao-seeking Lotus?"

"..."
