Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1305: Chapter 1304: Unconscious

”Let me do it.”

Just as Ling Chen was channeling True Qi into Xia Yunxin without much effect, a gentle voice suddenly reached him. Ling Chen looked up, and the person coming was none other than the Lingyue Island Master, Saint Purple Heart.

Ling Chen nodded and then solemnly cupped his fists towards Saint Purple Heart: ”I must trouble the Island Master. She is someone very important to me.”

”I can see that.”

Saint Purple Heart nodded slightly, ”Rest assured, she got injured heavily saving you, and she got hurt like this for our Lingyue Island as well, so I will do my best to help heal her injuries.”

”Also, there’s no need to worry too much. The cultivation techniques of our Lingyue Island mostly lean towards the water attribute. Although they may not have much advantage in combat, they are outstanding for healing and saving lives.”

Saint Purple Heart’s face revealed a smile, giving Ling Chen a shot of confidence. Her palm also pressed onto Xia Yunxin’s pulse, and with just a slight sense, she seemed to have an idea.

”Don’t worry, although Miss Xia is severely injured, and her internal organs and meridians are severely damaged, there’s a mysterious force within her guarding her lifeline, so despite the severity of her injuries, she won’t be in mortal danger.”

Saint Purple Heart said.

”That’s good.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tightly wound nerves finally relaxing.

”This is not a place for healing. Let’s go. Let’s leave this place first and talk later.”

Saint Purple Heart glanced at Ling Chen and then said.

”Hmm... let’s go.”

Ling Chen nodded, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a wave of fatigue, immediately dizzy, and his body collapsed.

”Ling Chen... Ling Chen!”

Ling Chen only heard a series of anxious voices echoing, but his consciousness became increasingly blurred...

...

His consciousness remained in darkness, and amid that haze, Ling Chen seemed to hear some gentle voices that once rang in his ears, those crisp and charming voices that made one want to open their eyes and see the owner of those voices.

But ultimately, Ling Chen did not open his eyes, deep exhaustion welled up like a tide from the depths of his mind, keeping his eyes closed.

This exhaustion seemed to last for quite a long time, until his eyes finally forced open a crack amidst struggle.

Warm sunlight shone through, causing Ling Chen’s half-opened eyes to widen, the brightness expelling darkness... When his eyes fully opened, what appeared in Ling Chen’s sight was a quiet and tidy room.

Ling Chen looked at this unfamiliar environment, a fleeting moment of disorientation crossed his eyes, then he abruptly sat up, intending to jump out, but his body weakened, and a sense of powerlessness spread from his limbs, causing his body to lie down softly again.

”The injuries are actually this severe...”

Ling Chen looked down at his pale palms, his brows couldn’t help but furrow, any slight flow of True Qi made his meridians feel like they were pierced by needles.

Of course, Ling Chen naturally did not think about what kind of opponents he was facing. His own strength was only at the Sky Apex Realm Ninth Level, yet he fought against high-level Saints like Dao Yi True Immortal and Huo Lingzi, crossing so many ranks that if it were any ordinary person, they’d have been pulverized long ago.

Yet Ling Chen not only survived, but he was still alive and well, his performance in the depths of Qinling, especially in making Huo Lingzi so miserable, once spread out, would undoubtedly cause a tumult.

Ling Chen slowly got out of bed, now his body was empty of True Qi, it seemed he would need several days to gradually recover.

Crack.

Moving through the room, Ling Chen opened the door, warm sunlight pouring in, enveloping Ling Chen completely, and under that warmth, some of the pain in his body also eased quite a bit.

Outside the room was a wide corridor, and in front of the corridor was a quiet courtyard, where at this moment, several people were sitting quietly. When they heard the door open, they quickly turned around, their faces showing expressions of surprise.

These people were surprisingly familiar to Ling Chen, disciples of Lingyue Island, Zhou Qingqing and Lin Wan, along with Gu Wuqing and Leng Qianshang.

”Ling Chen, you’re finally awake...”

Ling Chen looked at Zhou Qingqing and the others who were approaching with expressions of pleasant surprise, he could see the deep concern and joy in their eyes, feeling warmth in his heart, he smiled and nodded, ”How long was I unconscious?”

”A full five days.” Zhou Qingqing spread her hands and said.

Ling Chen was slightly stunned, although he had some anticipation, he still did not expect that this time he had been unconscious for so long due to his injuries.

”You’re quite famous now, the entire Lingyue Island is spreading word about your exploits, saying you’ve inherited Qinling Great Emperor’s legacy, slain Desolate Fire City’s core elder, and sent Wildfire City Master Huo Lingzi flying...” Zhou Qingqing praised, looking at Ling Chen with undisguised admiration.

Desolate Fire City and their Lingyue Island were arch-enemies, their relationship had been strained for many years, and over these years, many Lingyue Island disciples had died at the hands of Desolate Fire City, the animosity between them ran deep.

Ling Chen’s blow to Desolate Fire City’s arrogance this time, not only killing a core elder but also humiliating Wildfire City’s City Lord Huo Lingzi, such an event hadn’t occurred in many years, Ling Chen was undoubtedly seen as a hero by the Lingyue Island disciples.

”Enough, don’t exaggerate anymore.”

At this moment, a black-clad girl intervened, pouring cold water on the crowd caught up in enthusiasm, ”If not for good luck this time, you’d likely not have made it back alive, such face-gaining deeds, it’s best to do fewer of them from now on...”

Hearing Ling Yin’s words, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly. Ling Yin was right, this time was indeed perilous, but it was unavoidable, first Xuannv forced his hand, making him use up his trump card too early, leading to a dire situation against Huo Lingzi when he was out of options.

Indeed, such face-gaining deeds are best done less frequently.

”How’s Senior Sister Xia, is she alright?”

Ling Chen suddenly lifted his eyes and looked at Ling Yin.

Ling Yin said: ”Senior Sister Xia was taken by the Island Master and several elders for healing, probably needs some time.”

”No rush.”

Ling Chen shook his head, Saint Purple Heart had already said Xia Yunxin wouldn’t be in mortal danger, and in matters of healing, Saint Purple Heart and Shen Bingxin were more adept than him, there was no need for him to worry needlessly.

”Wow, Junior Brother Ling Chen, your relationship with Miss Xia is truly deep and affectionate, she risked her life for you, and you went crazy for her, having such a soulmate, you won’t regret this life.”

It was Gu Wuqing speaking, his face showing a touch of envy when mentioning Xia Yunxin, as he smiled.

”Yes, Miss Xia and Senior Brother Ling Chen make such a perfect pair, even if you saved Xuannv, she was just a bystander at a crucial moment, such a woman, I think you needn’t bother with her anymore.” Beside him, Zhou Qingqing also agreed.

”Xuannv, huh?”

Upon mention of Xuannv, Ling Chen’s mind conjured up an ethereal white silhouette unchecked by worldly matters, yet he couldn’t help but smile wryly. Xia Yunxin, indeed, was his soulmate, but the relationship between him and Xuannv wasn’t something that could be easily clarified in few words, all the things he did for Xuannv, outsiders wouldn’t understand.
