Supreme Warrior in the City

After meeting Huo Yuanzhen, Su Yang found Su Zhan to inquire about Huo Yuanzhen’s situation.

According to Su Zhan, Huo Yuanzhen merely had her meridians destroyed. Once she leaves the Demon Abyss, Su Yang could find a way to restore her meridians. Even if her cultivation was completely ruined, he could help her regain power and return to her peak.

After all, Su Yang has the medical skills from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and plenty of Spirit Liquid Essence, treating such injuries is nothing at all.

”I know what you mean!” Su Zhan sighed and said, ”Both of us have cultivated the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book. There are countless ways within it to treat her current injuries. But the problem is, her condition is more complicated!”

”How is it complicated?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”I told you before, her meridians were destroyed, her whole cultivation completely gone. And the situation back then wasn’t just that, it was even more complex,” Su Zhan said. ”After her meridians were extracted, because of her age and lack of physical power to support, she almost died on the spot. But neither I nor Wan Xiong had the power to save her, so I took her to the palace and used the Devouring the World power to suppress her injuries and healed her!”

”Ah?” Su Yang was stunned but, thinking carefully, there was no other way at the time.

”This method is like drinking poison to quench thirst!” Su Zhan said. ”This indeed saved her, but at the same time, the Devouring the World power occupied her body and her meridians. To heal her in the future, you need to extract the Devouring the World power first. However, the power of Devouring the World is so powerful, extracting such power is absolutely not an easy task. Don’t be fooled by the ease of pulling it down in the palace. Once this power enters the human body, it quickly transforms, and to extract it, you must possess enough strength to suppress it. Otherwise, you absolutely can’t extract this power!”

Su Yang frowned. He and Su Zhan both cultivated Devouring the World, naturally knowing the might of this power. According to Su Zhan’s description, extracting this power is truly an impossible task.

As it turns out, healing Huo Yuanzhen is simply impossible!

Su Yang sighed, there was no lie in Su Zhan’s analogy of drinking poison to quench thirst.

Without the power of Devouring the World, Huo Yuanzhen would have died. Yet using the power, Huo Yuanzhen is utterly ruined!

But then, in that situation, what could they do? Just watch Huo Yuanzhen die? They definitely couldn’t do that!

Thus, ultimately, they could only use this method to treat Huo Yuanzhen.

”You mentioned you used the Devouring the World power to heal Huo Yuanzhen…” Su Yang suddenly asked, ”Can she leave the palace? Isn’t the black qi unable to leave the palace?”

”It depends on how she leaves the palace!” Su Zhan said. ”Once the black qi merges with the human body, it can leave the palace. Didn’t I just absorb some black qi inside and leave with it?”

”Really?” Su Yang asked in surprise. ”Then… can we absorb more black qi and use it to break the Saints’ seal?”

”No way!” Su Zhan shook his head. ”The black qi can leave the palace when merged with a human body, but its power is restricted, you still can’t use it!”

”Why?” Su Yang asked surprised.

Su Zhan shrugged: ”I don’t know the exact reason, but you can guess. Perhaps because once absorbed, the black qi becomes the person’s power, no longer belonging to the palace, and thus able to leave. But being not palace-related, it’s naturally restricted!”

Su Yang scratched his head. So although there’s a lot of black qi in the palace, using this power is impossible!

”I’ve tried countless ways over the years but none worked!” Su Zhan said. ”I’ve realized unless a Nine Realms Saint intervenes, escaping here is impossible!”

”Nine Realms Saints…” Su Yang scratched his head. The Saints of the Human World are gone, which Saint from the other Eight Realms would help?

In fact, if they knew Su Yang and others were trapped here, the Eight Realms would be happy, who would care?

Moreover, nobody knows they are trapped here now!

Su Yang sighed helplessly, finally giving up these thoughts.

The group temporarily stayed near the palace, the dean and others’ physical strength extracted, having no power to act.

To act, they must cultivate Devouring the World. But upon seeing the black qi’s state inside, Su Yang abandoned this idea.

Nobody knows the purpose of the Devouring the World’s master, and if they’re seeking a Furnace, cultivating it would be a trap for the dean and others.

Su Yang, Su Zhan, and Wan Xiong cultivated Devouring the World, could search for food to sustain them, so no need for others to cultivate.

Of course, the most important task is to escape, Su Yang’s daily focus.

After about half a month here, one day, Su Zhan packed his things and called Su Yang over.

”Today, we’re going out!” Su Zhan said.

”Out?” Su Yang asked in surprise, for what?

”I go out periodically,” Su Zhan said. ”The entrance to Demon Abyss sometimes appears, maybe someone gets trapped. So I need to check periodically, in case it’s our people trapped, to save them. That’s how I saved Wan Xiong and Huo Yuanzhen initially!”

Su Yang suddenly realized and agreed, it’s indeed time to go out.

Moreover, Su Yang was worried.

They’ve been here exploring for a month and a half, outside is likely chaotic now.

Will Qinghe Academy send more people for exploration? If they do, they’ll be trapped too!

Thus, checking outside is necessary. If Qinghe Academy sent people, Su Yang can save them!
