Chapter 985: Blazing Rage
"Actually, the Aolai Divine Beast doesn’t completely rely on its own power to suppress the Heaven and Earth Power, after all, in the past hundreds of thousands of years its power has been quite limited, it has had to rely on external forces. You all may not know, the palace itself is a massive array that can suppress the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent, and the array eye is in that magma spring.""Previously, Zhao Lingxian used an Evil Spell to bind the Aolai Divine Beast, and while breaking the spatial seal it laid down, also bound the array eye. When I reinstated the seal, I conveniently broke Zhao Lingxian’s binding and reactivated the array eye."
"As long as this palace isn’t destroyed, and the space fissure doesn’t have any unexpected changes, for at least a few thousand years, the strange flowers and herbs within a thousand miles radius of the Flying Peak will remain just as they are today." Ye Lanfeng explained.
Mu Hanyan and the others then understood why when they left they felt the palace was much more majestic than when they entered, even involuntarily generating a sense of worship, it turns out this was the reason.
Who would have thought that the palace itself was also a massive array capable of suppressing the Heaven and Earth Power of the Divine Continent, and also wondered whether this was something the Aolai Divine Beast casually did while replicating the palace, or if it was originally there from its master’s palace?
Generally speaking, although Divine Beasts have a natural advantage in absorbing the Heaven and Earth Power compared to human cultivators, they have no talent in arrays, elixirs, and other strange and mysterious arts, they’re far inferior to human cultivators, so the latter possibility is likely greater.
Thus, Huayue and the others are even more curious and longingly fascinated with the mysterious and powerful master of the Aolai Divine Beast.
Of course, these are all secondary, the most important thing is, with the help of the array within the palace, the area within a thousand miles of Flying Peak can maintain its prosperity and flourishing status for thousands of years, which is what truly pleases them.
But next, there should be something that makes them even happier– without the crisis of the ancient ruins, Mu Hanyan’s Cold Sky Sword ought to be upgraded to a true Divine Artifact under the tempering of the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool, right? Thinking of this, Huayue and the others are both expectant and excited, speeding up towards Fang Village.
...
Having just returned to Fang Village, Mu Hanyan noticed something was amiss in the atmosphere. Although the workshop was as bustling and prosperous as before, the guards sent by Nanyan Commerce all looked slightly tense, their gazes warily casting towards the direction of the village entrance, looking as though facing a formidable foe.
"Lord, you have returned," seeing Mu Hanyan and the others returning safely, Family Head Fang greeted them with a face full of joy and quickly approached.
"Family Head Fang, just call me Han Yan, or Young Master, don’t call me Lord anymore." Hearing the respectful address from Family Head Fang made Mu Hanyan feel ill at ease.
"Hmm alright, everything listens to your command, Lord," Family Head Fang said sincerely.
"..." Mu Hanyan looked at Family Head Fang’s respectful demeanor, feeling quite speechless.
"By the way, did something happen? I see they all look as if facing a formidable foe?" Mu Hanyan, not wanting to dwell on the matter, changed the subject.
"Here’s what happened: earlier, a man and woman seriously injured arrived at the village entrance, our people rescued them, Housekeeper Zhou was taken aback upon seeing them, brought them into the village for medical treatment, and instructed the servants to be cautious, not allowing any suspicious persons near." Family Head Fang replied.
"I see, we should also take a look." Hearing Housekeeper Zhou saved people and was so nervous, Mu Hanyan’s curiosity was piqued. Anyway, they have to pass through the village to find Qu Shanling, might as well take a look.
Soon, Mu Hanyan and the others arrived at Zhou Taian’s residence under the guidance of Family Head Fang.
Currently, Zhou Taian looked both anxious and angry, clenching his fists tightly, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. The man and woman were lying separately on the soft bed, an elderly doctor with gray hair and beard was sweating profusely, treating the man’s wounds.
The man’s injuries seemed severe, his clothes were tattered, the sword wounds exposed deep enough to see the bone, while the woman had no apparent wounds, only a pale complexion, having already fallen into a coma.
"Mu Nan!" Only when the doctor turned to change medicines did Mu Hanyan see the man’s face, exclaiming in surprise.
"Qingwan!" Behind, Zirong also exclaimed loudly, rushing forward in a single bound, grasping the young woman’s hand, eyes shimmering with tears.
Turns out, this man and woman were none other than Yu Qingwan who had been missing for a long time and Mu Nan who had risked danger to save her.
"Young Master Mu, you have also returned!" Only now did Zhou Taian, focused on Mu Nan’s wounds, notice Mu Hanyan and the others had arrived and turned to salute.
"Who wounded them?" Mu Hanyan waved his hand, directly asking.
Seeing Mu Nan’s body covered in wounds, Mu Hanyan’s anger burned furiously, leaving him in no mood for formalities.
"I don’t know, the chairman saw me, didn’t say a word, fainted. It’s uncertain who dealt the poison hand, but they wounded the chairman this badly!" Zhou Taian said, gritting his teeth.
He’s an old hand of the Nanyan Commerce, due to poverty, was compelled to seek livelihood from the newly established Nanmu Auction. Originally just hoping for a meal, his talents were recognized by Mu Nan who nurtured him heartfully. Later the Nanyan Commerce rapidly rose, his salary and position kept increasing, life at home got better day by day, his gratitude towards Mu Nan easily imaginable. Seeing him hurt this way, how could he not be furious?
"This young man was severely injured and pursued all the way, carrying a comatose young woman, only relying on a breath to hold on until here, seeing safe, that breath was released, he could no longer support." The doctor explained.
"Thank you, older sir, I wonder if he’s alright now?" Mu Hanyan warmly saluted and worriedly asked.
Judging by the doctor’s extraordinary attire and demeanor, Mu Hanyan guessed he was specially recruited by Zhou Taian and Family Head Fang from the Capital, although anxious inside, couldn’t treat him dismissively.
"I’ve given him elixir, he should be fine, shouldn’t take long before waking up. But this young woman is troublesome, I’ve been practicing medicine for over fifty years, never seen a condition like hers." The doctor replied.
"What’s wrong with her?" Zirong raised her head, anxiously asked.
Originally thinking Yu Qingwan had suffered internal injury or was too exhausted escaping, hence fell into coma, listening to the doctor, he realized the situation might be more complex than he thought, his heart filled with worry and anxiety.
"I have just examined her, she clearly didn’t sustain injuries, yet for some reason she remains in deep sleep. What’s stranger is, her face appears haggard, but when I checked her pulse, found her vitality extremely ample, as if something within her harbors power, continuously vivacious and inexhaustible." The doctor spoke with doubt again.
