Song Yuanyi turned his head and coldly glanced at Ji Andu. This single glance was enough to cause Ji Andu to shiver in both body and mind. He hurriedly lowered his head, his complexion pale.
“Alliance Lord, forgive me!”
“Do not repeat this matter in the future! Young Master Qingyang is our ally, and I do not wish to see such things happen. Understood?” Song Yuanyi coldly said.
“Andu understands!”
Ji Andu’s heart shivered as he lowered his head even further.
As the mood was relaxing, the taciturn vice alliance lord, Xie Guangting, suddenly said, “Alliance Lord, our Righteous Alliance suffered many losses in this battle, and it seems like Young Master Qingyang has also been injured. Your Eternal Spring Mantra is profound beyond compare. There is no harm in giving a little assistance to Young Master Qingyang.”
These words had come so unbidden that Ji Andu, who had just been ready to turn and leave, came to an abrupt halt as if sensing that something was about to happen.
The other Righteous Alliance Elders and experts also felt their hearts thump as if in realization.
Song Youran and Song Jue paled in unease.
“Many thanks, Vice Alliance Lord, but that is not necessary. This one’s injuries are not serious, and Alliance Lord has just been through a major battle, severely exhausting his Stellar Energy. There is no need for Alliance Lord to tire himself over such a trifling injury.”
Wang Chong bowed, his tone neither too meek nor too proud.
“Haha, there is no need for Young Master to be so polite. Young Master was injured in our Righteous Alliance, so this is our duty, no matter how much Stellar Energy we must expend. Don’t you agree, Brother Song?” Xie Guangting indifferently said, shooting a glance at Song Yuanyi.
“Brother Xie is right. A little more Stellar Energy is not important. There is no need for Young Master Qingyang to refuse,” Song Yuanyi lightly said.
As the pair echoed each other, the nearby Ji Andu who believed he had lost suddenly cracked a sinister smile.
Meanwhile, Wang Chong grimaced. It appeared like he had only needed to deal with Ji Andu in this meeting, but in truth, his actual foe was the person who had spoken up on his behalf, Song Yuanyi.
In the end, this entire act was so that Xie Guangting could say those words, using the excuse of treatment to probe Wang Chong.
Tap!
With a crisp clack, Song Yuanyi emotionlessly took a step forward, allowing no explanation as he made his way toward Wang Chong. At this moment, Ouyang Changheng and the other elders seemed to realize what was going on, and they began to uneasily glance back and forth between Song Yuanyi and Young Master Qingyang. However, none of them dared to say anything, as once the alliance lord made a decision, there could be no objections.
In their view, Ji Andu’s arguments had not been entirely ineffective.
Tap!
Song Yuanyi took another step, closing distance with Wang Chong. Upon seeing those cold eyes, Wang Chong felt his hair stand on end and alarm bells go off in his head.
At almost the same moment, the Stone of Destiny’s voice rang out in Wang Chong’s mind, urgent and brimming with a sense of danger. “Warning! Special Event! User has unintentionally come upon the Sect mission and is in danger! Side mission ‘Origin Immortal Art’ is on the verge of failure!
“Warning! Mission failure imminent!”
Song Yuanyi possessed extraordinary strength, and his Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra was enough to place him almost on par with the Demonic Emperor Old Man. Wang Chong had still not recovered his strength, and his body was still rampant with the Stellar Energy thrown into disarray by the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. Although Wang Chong had done his utmost to restrain his energy, someone of Song Yuanyi’s strength, with the excuse of treatment, could send the Stellar Energy of the Eternal Spring Mantra roving through Wang Chong’s body and understand everything that was going on inside.
Once the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was exposed, Wang Chong’s identity would be as plain as day, and it was easy to imagine what would happen to him next.
Before calling this meeting, Song Yuanyi had placed seven to eight elders around the mountain to prevent Wang Chong from leaving. Moreover, he and Xie Guangting were together on the summit, and when these two were together, not even the three bamboo hat men were a match, let alone the injured Wang Chong. He couldn’t run even if he wanted to.
Thump!
A fair and slender finger lightly touched Wang Chong’s shoulder. At the same time, boundless energy brimming with vitality gathered on the tip.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, before Wang Chong could react, this vast Stellar Energy surged through Song Yuanyi’s finger and into Wang Chong’s body, traveling with astonishing speed through his meridians to every part of his body, his dantian included.
During battle, Song Yuanyi’s Eternal Spring Mantra seemed soft and vigorous, but its strength was tyrannical beyond compare. It took mere moments for the energy to plunge into the depths of Wang Chong’s body.
Wang Chong’s body was like a bright mirror, the situation clearly reflected in Song Yuanyi’s mind.
Time slowed to a crawl. Ten inches, eight inches, six inches, five inches... Song Yuanyi’s Stellar Energy had already encroached upon the vast majority of Wang Chong’s body and was only a few inches away from his dantian. He was only moments away from encountering the ball into which Wang Chong had scrunched up the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.
At that point, all of Wang Chong’s secrets would be completely exposed. And given the relationship between Song Yuanyi and the Demonic Emperor, it was obvious what would happen to Wang Chong once the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was discovered within him.
“Warning!
“Warning!”
As Wang Chong felt like his skull was about to explode and his mind was tensed to the extreme, the Stone of Destiny’s calls of warning were constantly ringing out in his mind. Wang Chong instantly felt like he was standing on the precipice between life and death.
In one second, Wang Chong’s identity would be revealed, and then the joint attack of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting would sign his death warrant.
Buzz!
Just when Wang Chong was prepared to fight to the death with Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting, a surprising message rang out in his mind.
“Warning! User’s death is imminent.” As Wang Chong readied his attack, the Stone of Destiny spoke, but its message this time was completely different from before. “As user’s opponent is a being of this world, with the tacit acknowledgment that the current crisis was triggered by the constraint and resistance of this world, user, as Controller of Destiny, has a single opportunity to exempt themselves from the energy of the world. Does user wish to...”
“Agree!”
Wang Chong had no time to ponder and immediately chose to agree.
A moment later, the inconceivable took place.
Energy suddenly erupted from Wang Chong’s dantian, rapidly engulfing all the Stellar Energy of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art in his body, swiftly gathering and compressing it into a corner of his dantian.
This process was so speedily completed that it was done before Wang Chong had even realized what was going on. Even Song Yuanyi seemed to be moving like a snail in comparison.
Even more inconceivable were the properties of this energy. It was as thin as paper and seemed to lack any sort of attribute. It was like clear water or transparent air.
If Wang Chong hadn’t been the one who had triggered this energy, he wouldn’t have even realized that anything had happened.
Bang!
A split-second later, his dantian trembled as Song Yuanyi’s unique Eternal Spring Stellar Energy flooded in, searching through every part of it.
Song Yuanyi was not performing an ordinary search. His Eternal Spring Stellar Energy looked through every nook and cranny of Wang Chong’s dantian.
But at this moment, Song Yuanyi creased his brow. It was clear that he had not obtained the result he had imagined.
“What’s wrong? Are Young Master Qingyang’s injuries dire?” Xie Guangting suddenly asked.
“Heh, Young Master Qingyang’s injuries are not serious at all. But for him to be injured in the base of our Righteous Alliance is a dereliction of duty on our part,” Song Yuanyi said, his expression much improved.
As he spoke, he sent the Stellar Energy of the Eternal Spring Mantra swimming through Wang Chong’s limbs and bones, healing all the wounds in his body caused by the cultivation defect. A few moments later, Wang Chong’s body had been completely healed.
“Everyone says that Young Master Qingyang’s meridians are unique. From what I have seen today, this truly is the case. Such a pity for one of Young Master’s talent.”
Song Yuanyi withdrew his hand, the torrent of Stellar Energy flowing back into his body. Perhaps Wang Chong was seeing things, but when Song Yuanyi finished his examination, his eyes seemed much gentler.
Everyone sighed in relief, the tense air relaxing. Only one person had a face stricken with incredulity and disbelief.
“This... this is impossible!”
There was no one more shocked at this time than Ji Andu. He would never believe that Song Yuanyi’s inspection would turn up nothing.
Song Yuanyi was the Righteous Alliance Lord, possessing an unfathomable cultivation level. Moreover, he was already suspicious of Wang Chong, so there was simply no reason for him to take Wang Chong’s side.
What’s going on here? Could I have really been wrong?
Ji Andu was dumbfounded and speechless. Half of the reason he was against Wang Chong was Song Youran, but the other half was because he had felt there was a problem with Wang Chong from the very beginning. But now, there was nothing he could say.
“Wonderful!”
Song Youran and Song Jue, on the other hand, were simply ecstatic.
“Alliance Lord Song, thank you. The Eternal Spring Mantra is truly mystical. The condition of this one’s body is much better than before.”
At this moment, Wang Chong ‘calmly’ bowed.
But though he seemed calm on the surface, inwardly, he felt like he was drenched in cold sweat. This had been far too dangerous, and the smallest delay would have resulted in being exposed and fighting a battle for his life.
At the start, not even he had expected Song Yuanyi’s search to turn up fruitless, but this had in some way helped him get past this crisis.
