Lock onto the source, that’s right, these all come from the unconscious middle-aged Angel Envoy.
Yang Xiao tried to nudge him and found no response, so he reached out to feel the other man’s breath. The next second, Yang Xiao was stunned.
"No breath..."
Yang Xiao didn’t expect that a living person would die so silently, and the timing was just right, dying only after bearing the last part of the injuries.
"Don’t come back in the next life, be a good person." Yang Xiao reached out and slowly closed the eyelids that were slightly open. freewebnσvel.cøm
There was no guilt, after all, this person was captured by the Yi Sect and was bound to die sooner or later. He merely sent him on his way ahead of time.
Furthermore, he spared him from the torture by the Yi Sect, if the other person had a spirit in heaven, he should be grateful to him.
Next, it was the last person. Perhaps it was because one person had died before, Yang Xiao was much gentler this time, but he quickly realized one thing, due to frequent use, the pitch-black human skin began to show signs of losing control.
The specific manifestation was that he could absorb less and less of Jiang Qingluan’s injuries, yet his own injuries were worsening.
Also, the effect of channeling his own injuries outward was greatly diminished.
This was not a good sign, Yang Xiao immediately stopped, and after a short rest, Yang Xiao put away the Magic Artifact on his body, walked towards the door, and used the intercom behind the door to contact the waiting Yi Sect members outside.
Very quickly, Yi Sect members led by Elder Yin Ji rushed in.
They checked Jiang Qingluan’s injuries first and were pleasantly surprised to find that the wound on her abdomen had healed, not even leaving a scar, but the injuries to the arms and legs remained, though much improved compared to before.
But this level was still not enough, even if Jiang Qingluan regained consciousness now, she could not walk smoothly on her own, let alone perform actions like running and jumping.
Such basic mobility is a must in the Nightmare World, otherwise, never mind facing pursuit by Fierce Ghosts, even dealing with malicious teammates would be impossible, leaving only death.
The Yi Sect members were all experienced people, well aware of the dangers in the Nightmare World.
"Elder Yin Ji, I can only do this much for now, I need to rest."
Everyone noticed Yang Xiao’s fatigue, especially Elder Yin Ji, who could perceive, through the Magic Artifact on her body, that Yang Xiao’s mental state was becoming unstable, a very dangerous signal.
"I know you’re pressed for time, I just need to rest for a bit, two hours." At this point, Yang Xiao didn’t want his effort to be for naught, nor did he want anyone else to reap the benefits, "Is this okay?"
"Of course, thank you for your hard work." Shao Changyin Ji immediately arranged for someone to take Yang Xiao to rest, the Yi Sect members were ready to take over and treat Jiang Qingluan, but it would be mental treatment.
Yang Xiao had already proven to the Yi Sect members with his actions that he had the ability to fulfill his promise.
Arriving at the assigned bedroom, Yang Xiao intended to take a nap but couldn’t fall asleep at all. He was in a strange state now, with his body exhausted yet his mind extremely active.
Though active, it wasn’t quite clear. There was a throbbing pain deep in his mind.
This was not a good omen. Yang Xiao has had similar feelings before; it’s a side effect of overusing Magic Artifacts, and it means he’ll soon be receiving a new Ghost Script, entering the Nightmare World again.
Though he was prepared for this, the feeling came too suddenly this time. Looking at his palm, Yang Xiao was sure the reason was the pitch-black human skin.
Even Elder Sheng has not figured this thing out, but undeniably, it is definitely a good item and has compensated for his lack of recovery ability, but this item is also very dangerous.
In Yang Xiao’s original plan, he should receive the next Ghost Script much later. freēwebnovel.com
Soon, the Yi Sect members knocked on the door to report that the Patrol Defense Office members from Luoshui City wanted to see him and asked if it was convenient.
Upon agreeing, shortly after, a middle-aged man in a Patrol Defense Office black uniform entered the room. It was Hong Qiang, who had recently gone to meet him, and he was also the Deputy Director of the Luoshui City Patrol Defense Office.
Hong Qiang got straight to the point, saying that he now had answers to the questions Yang Xiao had previously asked him.
On the way here, Yang Xiao had requested him to investigate a location, which was in Chuange City, also within the Canglan Province, not far from Luoshui City.
Back then, Yang Xiao had obtained three potential hiding places of the Withered Bone Pavilion’s Five Guardians through the Peace Hotel, one of which was in Chuange City.
Coming early is better than coming at the right time, Yang Xiao thought to handle this matter along the way.
Through the investigation by Director Hong, it has been confirmed that this location is indeed a secret base of the Withered Bone Pavilion, but due to time constraints and concerns about alerting the enemy, it cannot yet be confirmed how many people are inside or their levels.
However, one thing is certain, this base is of high level within the Withered Bone Pavilion, and the owner is likely a powerful Guardian level individual.
The Withered Bone Pavilion has a total of twelve Guardians, and that Ten Guardians Bone Burning Taoist has already died at the hands of Yang Xiao, this one is very likely the Five Guardians he’s looking for.
Once he finds the Five Guardians, then finds the Great Protector, and obtains the Human Skin Map from them, he can trace and find the mysterious hiding place of the Master of Bone Pavilion, which is Yang Xiao’s ultimate goal.
"Brother Hong, what do you plan to do?" Yang Xiao didn’t express his stance directly, after all, he was a guest here, needing to follow the local customs.
