Entering the familiar Main Hall, the person who first approached us was Gu Chu, the first senior brother, that guy seemed to be quite angry about my appearance here as it seem to have reminded him of the lesson he got because of me .
Tian Long, I want you to let go of any selfish desire regarding the Dragon Organ Transformation Pill, I hope you care more for saving lives with it, or else .
Just as he was about to continue saying something, Master appeared in front of me and slapped that guy's head and said :
What are standing here threatening your junior brother for, let me tell you this, you don't need to say anything else, Tian Long had already agreed to help Bai Ming and gave away the pill that belonged to him for that, so step aside .
As we entered the room, I saw senior brother Fu standing there with a weak smile on his face, next to him there was a new face that I hadn't recognized, it was the face of a handsome guy with bright blue eyes and seemed to be very much confident about his appearance, he was at first before laying his eyes on me frowning .
But after he saw me, the frown on his face deepened, I couldn't help but wonder if I had did something to offend this senior brother, yes this was my first guess, after all the only people that were allowed to gather here were Close Disciples, so this must be a senior brother that I hadn't met before .
I nodded at both of them and cupped my fist in greeting, senior brother Fu responded and the other guy just started playing with his hair and didn't care about even answering, senior brother Fu gave me a wry smile and I nodded at him again, understanding that now wasn't the time .
As I turned my eyes even forward from them, I saw that on a table that was covered from all sides with clothes, there seemed to be one laying down, but this wasn't what caught my attention, my attention was due to getting a sniff of a very familiar aura .
There was a resentment energy coming from where Senior Brother was, the moment I sensed this familiar energy, my mind almost went blank from shock, but luckily I was able to get my senses back to reality, I together with the other Senior Brothers began making our ways towards that table behind the cloth curtains .
Gu Chu asked if we should wait for Fa Shi to come back before we try to do anything, but before I tell them about what happened, Master said that we are running out of time and soon the poison might start attacking the heart of senior brother Bai .
The curtains were opened and inside I saw a body that had black and blue like ink veins across his whole body, the only place exempted was his chest, a needle was stuck in his chest, that needle was like guarding the gate to Senior Brother's heart .
I saw that he had pale complexion and his eyes were closed, his eyebrows were like swords crossing against each other, his expression was currently one that swirled between agony and anger, the guy had black hair and was currently sweating buckets .
I then got a clear sense of where the resentment seemed to be released from, his stomach, it seem that whatever that poison was, it was releasing this resentment inside the body of senior brother, luckily this resentment wasn't very strong, but from my previous experience I still understood that it was still deadly .
" I agree with Master, senior brother Bai need to be treated urgently .
What do a person like you know about medicine ? .
Before I respond, our Master raised his hand and stopped both of us from starting a quarrel, I nodded and gave master the bottle where the pill was stored, I also asked for the Blood Qi Recovery Pills that I asked for before, he received the pill and after unsealing it and its aroma began to spread in the air, I felt the Magical effect of this pill for the very first time .
Not only me, but almost all the Senior Brothers suddenly were feeling refreshed and their aura began to rise, I saw that Master turned to me suddenly and said :
Do you still have the heart to give it up ? .
I gave him a wry smile and said confidently :
" With it or without it, I believe that I can still reach the top, Master should go ahead and help Senior Brother with a peace of mind, but just in case, I hope you let me help as well .
He nodded and directly withdraw a few bottles of Blood Qi Recovery Pills, the other disciples weren't able to understand what was going on, but one thing that they were able to tell, I'm going to contribute more than just handing over that precious pill .
They were still eying that bottle, especially senior brother Fu and Gu Chu, both of those two guys eyes were glued into the bottle, one was already on the verge of breaking through to the organ Quenching Realm, so it can be quite justified, while the other was just lusting after treasure .
I shook my head and still felt that something wrong with that other senior brother, he showed no interest in looking at the treasure and was instead looking at me with a look that was even more scary to me than the look of Ferocious Beasts .
I wanted to understand what exactly was wrong with him, but Master was already opening Senior Brother Bai mouth and dropping the pill inside his opened mouth, the pill appearance was caught by me, but just a glimpse of it was captured by me .
The pill was green on the surface, but inside it there seemed to be some orange energy that was actually swirling and moving erratically, the pill look was quite stunning, but its effect was even more shocking .
The moment the pill was swallowed, the black like veins directly began to dissipate, senior brother stomach also began to glow, his complexion began to become quite rosy, his eyes were beginning to flatter, his body showed signs of recovering and the toxins inside it was being released through the pores in the skin .
Not good .
But just as this was happening, a change suddenly occurred and took all the people in the room by surprise, senior brother Bai Blood Qi began to appear on his skin, then it actually began to burn, threatening to completely devour him whole .
Master took action directly and tried to help senior brother solve the problem of being unable to control his Blood Qi, that was what created this problem, I too seeing the familiar scene of Blood Qi burning decided to swallow one pill of Blood Qi Recovery Pill and directly took action .
Since Senior Brother issue could be solved as long as he regain conscious and his control of Blood Qi increase, he would be able to digest the Medicinal Energy in the pill more effectively, but now his Blood Qi has withdrawn from the battle and was leaving senior brother's body to fend for himself .
The energy was beginning to make his body bloating, I was beginning to believe that it would have been better if we removed that needle protecting his heart before this operation start, but now there was no time for regret, I told them to give me some space and began using the method Li Fu taught me again .
I was chanting the words while executing the movement and after hearing the few notifications from the Panel, I was able to see the black and white disc of Yin-Yang but they were being revolving in reverse, the energy then turned golden and the familiar swirling flames appeared .
I directly began to infuse this injury into the body of senior brother, I heard the screams of two people behind me, telling me to stop, but I was already the closest person to senior brother currently, so their yelling did nothing to make me hesitant .
The moment the Golden fire sunk into the senior brother body, the bloating stomach dispersed instantly and soon the Blood Qi stopped burning and Senior Brother suddenly spat a big mouthfuls of blood, that continued for 3 to 5 minutes .
During that time, I was being held at gunpoint by Gu Chu and the other weird guy, luckily after those few minutes passed, senior brother Bai Ming finally opened his eyes and then he directly sat a crosslegged in the table, then a shockwave of Blood Qi appear and the Blood Qi was quite sharp, it cut the table and even some of the clothes we wore, if not for us using Blood Qi to fend for ourselves .
Master was the first to congratulate Senior Brother Bai for his breakthrough to the 4th Layer of Organ Quenching Realm, we soon followed suit, with senior Fu taking the lead, congratulating him for his fortunate chance and recovery .
I did the same as well and I suddenly felt a sharp gaze descending upon me, I saw Bai Ming look at me bewildered at who I was, I first wanted to introduce myself, but the consumption of using that method came knocking on the door, forcing me to fell down on the floor .
I instantly saw him appear on front of me and brandishing a sharp blade towards my neck, the energy around the blade was enough to send chills down my spine, then I heard the weirdest thing coming from that Senior Brother of mine mouth, he said :
Are you a demon, I saw your eyes glittering with red light before ? .
I was momentarily loss of words, but I wasn't the only one stunned at his words, everyone here was, but one guy in particular seemed to wanting to get rid of me said :
Yes senior brother, he is a Demon, kill him .
Weirdly enough, Gu Chu wasn't the one who wanted me to die, but it was the weird senior brother that I have yet to know his name, hearing him say this so eagerly, I couldn't help but wonder on how exactly did I offended that guy .
Luckily someone came to my rescue, barely holding back his laughter and told Bai Ming :
This here is our new junior brother Tian Long, he also the reason Senior Brother Bai was able to stay alive and even achieving a breakthrough .
He then turned towards me and said :
Those two guys are the Righteous Sword Bai Ming and the guy who wanted you to die just because you are slightly more handsome than him and me is Ba Zi .
After understanding what was going on, I first swallowed a Blood Qi Recovery Pill, then took a few seconds to barely stand up, I was acting as if I was still struggling to absorb the pill, but I had enough strength to stand up and greet the two of them .
Seeing my gesture, the two of them nodded and Bai Ming directly bowed his head and cupped his fist and thanked me for saving his life, I told him that it's okay and he directly turned towards Master and knelt in front of him directly and said :
This disciple beg Master for forgiveness on making you worry .
The Master seemed to be still recovering from shock, only after hearing Bai Ming's voice did he finally breath a sigh of relief and seemed to have returned to his energetic state, he helped senior brother up and patted him on the shoulder and said :
Stupid kid, if making Master worried was a sin, maybe then you can ask for forgiveness, it's good that you have recovered and even achieved some unexpected success, good, good .
After Master seemed to have said this, I saw that he was looking at me with awe and appreciation, the first was clearer to me than the latter, the reason of Master shook before was no one but me, or it would be more accurate to say because of my performance and that technique I have used to help senior brother .
After the disciples exchanged greeting among themselves, Master expression suddenly turned solemn and he said :
All of you except for Fu Liu, Tian Long, Bai Ming, can retreat for now .
Ba Zi and Gu Chu knew better than to argue in this kind of situation, so they bid Master farewell and retreated from the Hall, I saw the grave expression on Master's face and understood that there will be some serious discussions going on .
" ~yaawn~ .
Maybe because the tension in the room became quite intense, I couldn't help but yawn loudly which resulted in capturing the bewilderment of the other three people in the Hall with me, the first one to speak was Fu Liu, he directly said leaning towards me :
What's going on with you, didn't you have enough sleep yesterday ? .
Before I was able to answer, Master interrupted our conversation by bringing yet another more interesting topic, the topic was regarding the incident that befall Senior Brother Bai .
The latter explained that on the way to the location of the mission he accepted which was slaying a peak grade 1 Ferocious Beast, Silver Horn Bull Demon, on the way to where the beast was last seen, he was able to sense that he seemed to be followed .
But that feeling disappeared after he entered the outskirts of the Pitt, so he lowered his guard against sneak attacks from other people and focused on his task target, after he had a dire fight with the Beast, he was finally able to beat it .
But just as we was about to loot the valuables on the beast, he was attacked suddenly by three masked men, they said that he should leave the body and they will let him go, but doing something like this would bring shame to his Martial Heart .
Regardless of life or death and disregarding of the fact that he was already spent from having to deal with the Beast from before, he threw himself at them, after exchanging a few moves with two of three people, the last one seemed to be not ready to move back then, neither side was able to gain advantage over the other .
But that changed after the enemies started using Martial Skills and the situation turned in their favor, while Senior Brother was the one who was cornered and had his back against the wall, feeling dispirited about surviving, he throw all the cautious out of the window and vowed to at least kill one of the two guys fighting him at least .
With a twist of luck, Senior Brother Bai comprehended and took the next step in his Swordsmanship, comprehending the Sword Energy amidst the fight, not only killing one of the two with one slash, but even was able to injure the other and break down his mask, the person who fought Senior Brother Bai was Ji Hua, the person killed by Senior Brother was Ji Hu, the younger sibling to Ji Hua, both were disciples of Iron Sand Palm Dojo .
After this sudden change happened, senior brother saw that the third person finally moved and with a palm and just as Senior Brother was about to behead the other sibling, the palm wasn't enough to kill my senior brother, or he believed that at first .
Taking advantage of the situation to escape, the other two kept coming after him for half a day, then he finally realized that the palm that hit him was poisonous and the poison began to finally take effect and it first forced him to be unable to use his Blood Qi .
He escaped through entering the turf of the Vicious Black Scorpion, a Ferocious Beast that was at the 4th grade, equivalent to a Marrow Cleansing Realm expert, known for its ferocity and being quite territorial, only then did the two guys finally gave up on pursuing him anymore .
It seem that Ji Hua wanted to continue the chase, but the Man with him was afraid that due to being the person with the strongest Realm, the monster would go berserk and pick him as his first target, that's why the two of them retreated backwards and kept on watching over him from afar .
But how big was the turf of a Grade 4 Ferocious Beast, he was able to slip from under those guys nose and fortunately, the monster seem to be hibernating, as Senior Brother hadn't encountered while he was trying to find a way out and even when he accidentally crossed paths with what appear to be the Monster's cave, it didn't came out at all .
Picking another road, he was able to finally and successfully leave the Pit, but he had consumed all the medicine and antidotes that he had and the poison had already got him, so he collapsed in front of the City Gates, luckily someone had recognized him and the guards led him to the Dojo and he finally woke up here .
Before he finished the story, I saw that Master seemed to be already on the verge of going berserk, now, the air around him was so tensed that even breathing become difficult, senior brother Bai already understanding what Master was thinking, he directly reached out for Master hands that were clenched and knelt in front of him .
Ming'er what are you doing ? .
I beg Master to give Ming'er to take revenge by competing on the stage in the Howling Wolf City Young Masters Competition soon to be held .
After some time in silence, Master finally smiled and said :
It seem that I'm both blessed and cursed with taking stubborn disciples, I will grant you your request, your target is to triumph over the others in the Organ Quenching Realm exclusive competition, be sure to teach the Iron Sand Palm Dojo's disciples a lesson on the price they needed to pay for their provocation of us .
Disciple understand .
