Sage of Humanity

After Yooi Xiao left, Shui Yuan took out a small medicinal furnace and then fetched many precious medicinal materials. After a busy session, she crushed those materials into a green medicinal solution, with Lu Ye helping her on the side.

Lu Ye was not familiar with the medicinal theory, but he could still do some simple tasks.

"After this, come back with me and stay at sect headquarters for a while, to avoid the limelight," she suggested.

Lu Ye did not respond.

Shui Yuan paused her movements, then stared at him intently.

Honestly, when Second Senior Sister was kind to someone, she was genuinely kind. During the time at the Righteous Blood Sect, Lu Ye was cared for meticulously by her. However, it was exactly this usually gentle person who was now looking at him coldly, and it made Lu Ye somewhat panicked.

"Speak."

Having no choice, Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Senior Sister, since those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge are already targeting me, merely avoiding the limelight won't help unless I never go to the Spirit Stream battlefield, or stay hidden within my residence all the time. But that's not realistic. I'm already at Level 8 cultivation, and it's against the rules to always stay in the outer circle."

"That's why I called you back to the sect headquarters."

"Senior Sister, here's what I'm thinking," Lu Ye leaned closer and murmured in Shui Yuan's ear, sharing his original plan with her.

Shui Yuan initially listened with some impatience, but her expression softened after a moment, grasping Lu Ye's intention, "So, you're thinking of faking your death?"

"Exactly. Right now, those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge should know I'm afflicted with severe poison, and it's no secret that you and the sect master have come to the Tianyan Sect. My life is hanging by a thread and I won't last many days. You and the sect master are perfectly timed to collect my dead body."

Shui Yuan slightly frowned, disliking the way he phrased it.

"This way, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge won't keep an eye on me anymore, and I can study the Array Path here to enhance my mastery in it."

"Your idea is quite good." The sect master at the side nodded slightly and wanted to offer another opinion, but after getting a glare from Shui Yuan, he immediately held his tongue.

The old man Bai Qian, lacking any tact, chimed in, "If Young Friend Lu wants to study the Array Path, this old man will gladly teach him. The Tianyan Sect also has the Hundred Arrays Pagoda; you could try your hand at it."

"That's exactly my intention," Lu Ye quickly agreed, "Senior Sister, what do you think? Is it feasible?"

Shui Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "It could work, but whether you're alive or dead can be discovered by those linked to your battlefield marking."

"That's not a problem. The seals in my battlefield marking are either from sect disciples or various governors. I'll inform them in advance, so there won't be any leaks."

"If you've thought everything through, why bother asking me?" Shui Yuan said a bit irritably.

"Thank you, Senior Sister. However, I'll still need you and the sect master to put on a show when the time comes."

Having his disciple with the highest aptitude poisoned to death at the Tianyan Sect would definitely make Shui Yuan and the sect master genuinely grief-stricken. It would all come down to their acting at that time.

Everything was arranged properly, and soon Yooi Xiao also gathered the necessary medicinal materials for Shui Yuan.

Two hours later, Shui Yuan began to treat Zhao Li's injuries.

The reason she treated Zhao Li first was because his condition was more severe. Giant Armor had benefitted from the Soul Cleansing Pool, his psyche being much more resilient than Zhao Li's, and temporarily ignoring him wouldn't be problematic.

The treatment process was somewhat indescribable. Shui Yuan continually mixed various medicinal syrups, then fed them to Zhao Li and used her own methods to extract the toxins from Zhao Li's psyche.

Even in his unconscious state, Zhao Li's body trembled violently, with moans issuing from his mouth, his clothes soaked with sweat again and again.

One could imagine how excruciating the treatment process would be if he were awake.

Four hours later, the medical treatment finally came to an end. Yooi Xiao and Bai Qian looked on with concern. Zhao Li was not dead at the moment, but it was clear that his vitality had significantly weakened, evidently, this method of treatment had taken a heavy toll on him.

"I haven't reached the Divine Sea, so some techniques were difficult to use, and there might still be some residual poison. Whether he can wake up depends on his own fate now," Shui Yuan commented.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Shui," Yooi Xiao expressed his gratitude, knowing that Shui Yuan had done her best. After all, Shui Yuan was only at True Lake Level 9, and the fact that she could treat injuries related to the psyche was a testament to her exceptional medical skills, far beyond what ordinary healing cultivators could achieve.

After resting for half a day, Shui Yuan proceeded to treat Giant Armor in the same manner.

She was surprised to find that treating Giant Armor was much less difficult than treating Zhao Li, and throughout the treatment, Giant Armor showed no reaction, as if he were simply asleep.

After the treatment was over, he even began snoring, which made Shui Yuan somewhat uncertain for a moment. She doubted whether she had made a mistake and checked carefully again. After confirming there was nothing seriously wrong with Giant Armor, she finally relaxed.Recalling Lu Ye's earlier assessment of Giant Armor, Shui Yuan realized that this hefty fellow indeed had some exceptional talents.

After a brief rest, Shui Yuan walked over to Lu Ye and handed him the jade vial containing the Soul Cleansing Water.

She hadn't used more than a few drops of the Soul Cleansing Water for treating Giant Armor and Zhao Li; Shui Yuan had used a total of just five drops. Such a treasure was extremely precious, and Shui Yuan was careful to conserve it.

"I still have some, Senior Sister, keep it," Lu Ye pushed it back.

Shui Yuan grabbed his hand and slapped the jade vial into his palm, "This thing is very precious. Once you reach the True Lake Realm, you can use it slowly. Strong soul power helps greatly in advancing to the Divine Sea Realm..." At this point, Shui Yuan's eyelid twitched because she saw several more vials suddenly appear in Lu Ye's hand.

"This..."

"I really do have more. Take this vial back as a token of my respect for you and the sect master. Let me know if it's not enough later on."

Shui Yuan's expression became blank. She was used to seeing the big picture, but she had never seen so much Soul Cleansing Water. Lu said he got it from Xianyuan City. Was there so much Soul Cleansing Water in Xianyuan City? Others brought it out drop by drop, so why did it come in bottles for their junior brother?

"Then I'll keep it."

After calming her complex emotions, Shui Yuan turned and walked towards Yooi Xiao, "Sect Master Yooi, let's begin then."

"?" Yooi Xiao looked at her blankly, not understanding what she was talking about.

Shui Yuan's tone had become frosty, like a cold wind from the deepest hell, and even her eyes began to turn purple, "My junior brother came to visit Tianyan Sect and ended up murdered by villains. Sect Master Yooi, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Yooi Xiao was completely confused and turned to look at Lu Ye, who appeared refreshed and vigorous beside him.

"Senior Sister Shui, are you misunderstanding something? Young Friend Lu he..."

"It looks like Sect Master Yooi is not prepared to explain anything!" As her words fell, her slender body suddenly grew taller, and even her hair lengthened. The somewhat loose clothing she wore immediately became tight, outlining her curvaceous figure.

Murderous intent filled the air, and as her hair flew about, Shui Yuan raised her hand and grasped a battle scythe.

"Boom!" The sealed doors of the grand hall shattered, and Yooi Xiao flew out backwards, his face showing terror. The moment Shui Yuan moved, he almost thought he was going to die!

It was then understood that this well-known healing cultivator from Righteous Blood Sect possessed such astonishing combat capability.

A mournful and indignant cry rang out across the whole Tianyan Sect: "Give me back my junior brother's life!"

That day, Shui Yuan from the Righteous Blood Sect, due to her disciple Lu Ye's poisoning, created a huge disturbance in Tianyan Sect and fought alone against five big-sect True Lake Realm cultivators. The aftermath of the battle destroyed dozens of buildings and injured many disciples.

Luckily, Thang Yifeng, the sect master of Righteous Blood Sect, who was reasonable, stepped in to stop it, and thus the situation finally calmed down.

Yet, the furious and resentful Shui Yuan entered the Spirit Stream battlefield through the heaven's augury pillar of the sect headquarters of Tianyan Sect.@@novelbin@@

Ever since it was captured, the location was occupied by numerous Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, who strutted around proudly.

When Shui Yuan intruded, a group of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators were baffled, and under the swings of her exaggeratedly large battle scythe, none could withstand a single blow!

Despite the punishment of Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning, Shui Yuan killed dozens of people in a row in the Tianyan Sect's station, striking fear into the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, and when she withdrew, thousands of cultivators dared not block her path.

News spread, and the world was shocked!

It was the second time!

The Seal Envoy of Righteous Blood Sect had invaded the Spirit Stream battlefield like this for the second time. The previous occasion could be justified since the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side first broke the rules, but this time? This time, although the methods of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were somewhat despicable, they acted within the rules. As foes, naturally, they utilized every possibility within the rules.

On what grounds?

Just because her disciple was poisoned?

This was completely unreasonable. Hadn't Lu Yiye killed many lately? If everyone acted like this in the future, wouldn't the Spirit Stream battlefield become chaotic, leading those with lower cultivation levels to struggle for survival?

For a time, many accusations and criticisms came from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side, but that was it.

Shui Yuan could act so recklessly because she had special means to neutralize the punishment of the Soul-Destroying Divine Lightning. Indeed, if the strong ones from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge lowered their cultivation and invaded the Spirit Stream battlefield to bully the weak, they really didn't have the nerve to do so.

The Sect Master of Righteous Blood Sect was different.

According to rumors, since the headquarters of Tianyan Sect left, Thang Yifeng, that old fox went directly into Leizhou, which borders Wuzhou.

Luckily, the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side was prepared and several Divine Sea Realm strong cultivators joined forces to drive Thang Yifeng out, preventing him from causing damage to the sects of Leizhou.

It wasn't because the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side could foresee the future; rather, there were precedents. After the battle at Golden Light Peak, Thang Yifeng had invaded Yunzhou and single-handedly demolished three large sects of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, causing them heavy losses.

Righteous Blood Sect had gone to extremes in defending its own, and after Lu Ye was poisoned, how could the strong ones of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge not be on guard?
