Chapter 92 - The Sword Sect’s Shock

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Sword Sect’s sect master and a group of elders were waiting anxiously. They did not know why Mo Jianming had suddenly left. Someone said, “Elder Mo has yet to fully recover from his injuries. I hope he’s not in any danger when he’s outside.”

“With Elder Mo’s cultivation, even if he’s injured, there are few who can be his match. However, I’m worried about the injury in his soul. It’s not advisable for him to use spiritual energy.”

After all, the injury of the soul was not a joke. The slightest carelessness could lead to the danger of being annihilated.

Not far away, a small black dot gradually became clear. It was Mo Jianming, who had left in a hurry earlier. Seeing that he was fine, but his face was a little pale, everyone’s anxious hearts finally relaxed.

“Elder Mo, where did you go just now?”

Mo Jianming was just about to open his mouth when a fishy smell rolled out of his throat. At this moment, he could no longer hold it in. Traces of bright red blood spread from the corner of his mouth, which startled everyone.

“I think it was because I was treating that kid just now, and it affected my wound.”

When the others from the Sword Sect heard this, they were shocked. They asked, “Elder Mo, what’s going on? You haven’t even recovered from your own injuries. How can you treat someone else’s injuries?”

Mo Jianming shook his head and replied, “It’s fine. I know what I’m doing. I wanted to go to the auction in the capital to find out the whereabouts of the person who sold the soul-returning pill, but…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant. It seemed like he had returned without any success.

Mo Jianming’s eyes turned black and he staggered. If the Sword Sect’s sect master beside him had not caught him in time, he would have lost his balance.

Looking at his pale face, the sect master He Jiantian sent a wisp of his divine sense over and was immediately shocked. He chided, “Jianming, you’re too reckless. The Qi in your body is currently in chaos, and your condition is getting worse.”

The injuries that he had recovered from with great difficulty had worsened again because Mo Jianming was treating someone else’s injuries.

“What should we do now?”

“Why don’t we go to the other sects that won the auction and collect all the pills?”

He Jiantian shook his head with a grim expression and said, “No, if others know that the Grand Elder of the Sword Sect is injured, they will definitely not give the pills to us so easily. Once the news spreads, I’m afraid it will be detrimental to the Sword Sect.”

“Then what should we do now? I’m afraid that Elder Mo won’t be able to hold on for long in his current condition.”

Mo Jianming revealed a bitter smile and commented, “It seems that I’ve overestimated myself.”

Originally, he thought that he would be able to withstand it after recovering one-third of his strength. That was why Mo Jiangming chose to save him. However, he did not expect the backlash to be so severe. In the end, he had been too careless.

Mo Jianming was already unable to stand steadily, and the things on his body fell to the ground with a clatter. Among them, a few medicinal pills rolled out.

He Jiantian’s sharp eyes noticed the pills on the ground. He said, “Why does it look so familiar?”

The others followed his line of sight and were shocked. They exclaimed, “Isn’t this the soul-returning pill?!”

“Why does Elder Mo have a soul-returning pill? Don’t tell me it’s a medicine similar to the soul-returning pill.”

Not to mention the others, even Mo Jianming himself was a little stunned. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “This…”

He Jiantian took a step forward and quickly picked up the pill and stuffed it into Mo Jianming’s mouth. It melted in his mouth, and Mo Jianming instantly felt a cool breath flowing through his meridians, relieving the pain in his spirit.

Like a long drought meeting a good amount of rain, like the traveler in the desert finally finding an oasis, Mo Jianming’s originally broken soul was slowly recovering.

He Jiantian fed Mo Jianming the whole bottle of medicine. His face slowly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He had some doubts before, but now he was sure that these were soul-returning pills.

There were many bottles on the ground that looked exactly the same. Mo Jianming opened them one by one. They were all soul-returning pills!

There were probably more than a hundred of them in total. With so many soul-returning pills, it was more than enough to treat his injuries. Even if his soul was riddled with thousands of holes, it could still be repaired.

The people from the Sword Sect were stunned and didn’t understand what was going on.

“El-Elder Mo, did you go and rob someone?”

Mo Jianming’s surprise increased as he faced the crowd’s incredulous gazes. These pills were all given to him by that young man!

He recalled what Zhou Zhentian had said at the auction. The person who auctioned the pills and the person who bought the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram were the same people.

Could it be that he was…?!

This realization made Mo Jianming’s breathing miss by half a beat. When he thought of the powerful aura he had felt earlier and the strange sword intent, it seemed that all the dots connected.

Someone must have followed the young man and wanted to kill him for his treasure, but he didn’t expect the young man to be so extraordinary that he could escape from the fatal pursuit and was saved by Mo Jiangming in the end.

“Elder Mo, what’s going on? Why do you have so many soul-returning pills?”

There was too much information in his mind, so much so that Mo Jianming had to take a long time to digest it. It took a few shouts from the people around him to bring his thoughts back.

It was not convenient for Mo Jianming to go into detail for various reasons, so he only said, “Everything is a result of fate.”

If it wasn’t for his sudden impulse to save the young man, Mo Jiangming probably wouldn’t have been able to get these soul-returning pills. In the end, it was his kindness that saved him.

Mo Jianming didn’t have any other thoughts about the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. He only felt grateful to Ye Xuan.

One had to know that injuries to the soul were extremely difficult to treat. Even if they were treated, there would be residual effects in the future. Now that he had so many soul-returning pills in his hands, he did not have to worry about those residual effects.

If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan, Mo Jianming would have passed away at this point in his life.

There were so many soul-returning pills. It was impossible that Ye Xuan didn’t know the value of these pills. Although Ye Xuan had been seriously injured earlier, with his strange constitution, his life wouldn’t have been in danger even if Mo Jianming didn’t make a move to help him.

“I don’t know who you are, but if we are fated to meet in the future, I will definitely repay you.”
