With the strength of the good sister, even if he can only steal a tenth or two, there will be no rivals below the Netherworld-level, and he could crush the Demon Sect Vajra with one hand.
Dean Sheng once noted straightforwardly that he is an extremely rare anomaly, and throughout hundreds of years, people having such luck as his can be counted on one hand.
Moreover, what’s even more special is that the female demon of the Heavenly Water Pavilion happens to be very compatible with him, and Yang Xiao is the one chosen, which undeniably seems to be fate.
Through the previous dreams, Yang Xiao was able to clarify some of the events, realizing the good sister mistook him as that traitor Hanjiang Jun.
This kid is quite a character; not only did he win the good sister’s favor, but he also subdued the Great Commander under her, and Yang Xiao suspects seriously that the guy probably subdued more than one, truly a master of time management.
Yang Xiao started looking forward to the next dream, feeling that he’s getting closer and closer to the final secret.
In the last dream, he overheard Mo Lin Commander and the traitor Jiang Han mention that the female demon seems to be in seclusion doing something very important, even shutting herself away for months in the Nine-layered Demon Tower, unable to attend Jiang Han.
His instincts told him this was very significant, possibly relating to the truth behind the female demon’s downfall, and he needs to clarify this if he gets a chance next time. freewēbnoveℓ.com
After drawing the Fisherman’s appearance, the group decided to leave. Before leaving, the Sand Woman intended to destroy the statue but was stopped by Nalan Shuo.
Nalan Shuo respected this person as a true man, so he left a complete corpse and marked the location before the group departed.
With Jiang Qingluan leading, they moved in the Secret Realm Core Area, and according to calculations, they could leave after staying for around another dozen hours. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The Secret Realm has now become relatively safe, with nearly all incoming teams wiped out. Their only threat now is the Source Ghost, but they’ve already mastered the method to tackle the Source Ghost.
While traveling, if they saw a statue, they’d avoid it from afar, preferring fewer complications.
"Brother, brother, look at my leg, this leg..." the Chamber of Commerce man stumbled after them, pleading with a smile.
His legs had been corroded by the Poison Man in a previous battle, with skin turning black and decaying, making it hard for him to persist this far.
The group found an open spot, and Yang Xiao brought out the Ghost Lantern. As the green light illuminated, the blackness on the legs was really dispelled; although the speed was slow, the effect was clearly visible.
However, while the poison could be dispelled, the corroded wounds on the legs were already a reality. After the black poison faded, the ulcers on both legs became more pronounced, causing discomfort just by looking.
"That’s enough, for now. Apply some medicine to cope, and we’ll deal with it after getting out." Yang Xiao stopped the green light, as he was also at the end of his strength, and expelling such poison was a considerable depletion of spiritual power, a huge burden for him.
Yang Xiao turned to look at his Director, but Nalan Shuo shook his head, indicating he’s fine and doesn’t need treatment.
Next was the Sand Woman. As she removed her coat, what they saw gave Yang Xiao and the others chills, finding her arms covered with countless holes. She was suffering from the backlash of her abilities, caused by the black sand’s erosion.
An Apostle’s ability is a deadly weapon, but once it backlashes, the harm to the Apostle is also terrifying.
"How did you end up like this?" Jiang Qingluan asked with some emotion, "Why didn’t you say earlier?"
"I... I’m okay, his injury is worse." The Sand Woman stammered.
The person she referred to was her companion, the Chamber of Commerce man. It was only after Yang Xiao treated her teammate that she thought of herself, a scene that moved those present, as such pure feelings are rare in the treacherous Apostle World.
Without hesitation, Yang Xiao again used the Ghost Lantern to alleviate the Sand Woman’s injuries, but he could only do so much. Oddly, her injuries were different from the Chamber of Commerce man’s, and even if he were at full strength, he couldn’t completely dispel them.
The Ghost Lantern was unable to dispel it, and he hadn’t tried using the pitch-black human skin, as there was no one here to allow him to swap injuries, and besides, given Yang Xiao’s current state, he couldn’t manage it.
Among all the magic artifacts, the pitch-black human skin consumes extremely formidable energy, yet the effects are apparent, a significant gain for Yang Xiao’s journey to Myanmar and Thailand.
Seeing his companion’s injuries alleviated quite a bit, the Chamber of Commerce man repeatedly thanked Yang Xiao.
"How are you?" After confirming Nalan Shuo was okay, Yang Xiao looked at Jiang Qingluan.
"I’m fine," Jiang Qingluan shook her head.
"Are you really fine, or just holding on?" Their mission in entering the Secret Realm this time was to protect her, so Yang Xiao wanted to confirm again.
"I’m okay, don’t worry."
"Hiss—" Yang Xiao scrutinized her, confirming she seemed genuinely unhurt. That was impressive, considering Jiang Qingluan had been hit twice by the Fisherman, once slapped away by an oar, and another time struck in the abdomen by the black Death Light.
Despite that, after a brief rest, Jiang Qingluan could still move freely, seemingly not seriously injured.
On tallying it up, the injuries Nalan Shuo suffered were similar to Jiang Qingluan, but Nalan Shuo had the Golden Dragon Scale protection and was much stronger in terms of spiritual power, yet Jiang Qingluan’s state was almost equal to Nalan Shuo’s.
