”Mm?”
Wang Chong stopped and walked over.
He extended a hand and murmured to himself, ”How close! But it seems like it's not his destiny to die here. It almost pierced through his heart.”
Thrusting out his finger several times, he sealed critical points on the man's body and stopped the blood loss. He then sent over a stream of Stellar Energy to protect the man's heart before picking him up and returning to the carriage.
”To think that he would survive! Encountering us is also his good fortune!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Wushang Village Chief were quietly astonished at this sight. The Wushang Village Chief quickly took out a pill and had the man swallow it. Then, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief took up positions on the man's left and right, each placing a hand on his shoulder and sending in Stellar Energy to begin treating his wounds.
So capable were these two that there was no person they could not save as long as they drew breath. As expected, just a few moments later, the chest of that sect martial artist called Du Wucheng began to rise and fall once more, his complexion greatly improving.
Swish!
With a long breath, that man finally opened his eyes.
”Who are you?!”
To the trio's surprise, the moment the man opened his eyes and saw them, he became startled, pushed his right hand against the floor, and jumped away to make some distance.
The three of them instantly frowned at this sight. Someone who woke up and saw their three saviors would usually at least say 'thank you', but this reaction was completely unexpected.
”Young man, your wounds aren't healed. Don't move around recklessly!” the Wushang Village Chief said.
The man was pale and his breathing ragged. That simple act of jumping backward had caused cold sweat to cake his forehead.
”I don't need your concern! And I don't need your help! You think I don't know? You greedy scoundrels are all coming for the Origin Immortal Mountain!”
The man held a hand to his chest, his expression stubborn and the look in his eyes becoming even warier.
”The Origin Immortal Mountain?”
Wang Chong looked at this person and creased his brow. Thump! The door was pushed open, and that person gave the trio one last resentful glare before rushing out of the carriage, suppressing his injuries as he flew into the distance.
”Still forcibly circulating his energy while in such a state! How reckless!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man coldly snorted as he looked at the man, showing no intent of chasing him down. Despite the fact that they had saved his life, their kindness had been returned with hatred. If not for Wang Chong's influence, he would have long ago killed someone like this.
”Forget it. Let him go,” Wang Chong said, glancing at that person's back. For some reason, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
”This is the world of sects! The minds of people are treacherous, sinister, and difficult to fathom. Even if you save their lives, they might not thank you and could even blame you for saving them. In a place like this, if your heart is not a little harder, your hand not a little more vicious, you will find it very difficult to survive. This is also why I never mentioned having you enter the world of sects,” the Demonic Emperor Old Man coldly said.
Wang Chong said nothing as he thought back to what that man had said before leaving.
The Origin Immortal Mountain, the Origin Immortal Mountain…
Wang Chong pensively muttered to himself. For some reason, he sensed that this journey to the northwest had already changed in a way that neither he nor his master understood.
That person quickly vanished, and for Wang Chong's group, this was merely a small interlude. The carriage quickly drove past the hill and onward into the distance.
Flapflap!
Not long after they left, a black eagle took off into the sky from a nearby forest.
One hour later, ten-some men in black converged on the area, all of them with bizarre auras. Their leaders were none other than the three men wearing bamboo hats.
”They can't get far! No matter where they go, they will eventually fall into our hands!” the leading bamboo hat man said.
”After them!”
With this order, ten-some men in black followed the three men in bamboo hats in the direction Wang Chong's group had gone.
……
As the carriage rolled forward, the Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly spoke.
”For this journey to the northwest, we still have to meet one more person, someone we got to know when the Village Chief and I last went exploring. We will probably need his help this time.”
”Oh?”
Wang Chong was flabbergasted. He had never heard his master say that someone else would be coming, and given the strength of his master and the Wushang Village Chief, Wang Chong really couldn't think of anyone that deserved so much attention from them. They were almost at their destination, but they were going to meet him first instead of searching for the treasure.
”But you will have to prepare yourself. That person has a rather strange personality,” the old Village Chief said, cracking a rare smile.
Wang Chong became even more curious.
”Haha, you will find out when you meet him!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man laughed as he took a rare chance to play up the suspense.
As the carriage was passing through a forest, a thunderous voice came from within the carriage.
”Stop!”
The carriage came to a sudden halt. Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief opened the door and exited.
”Old Sirs, is this your stop?”
