Chapter 525: Self-reliance
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
Ning Du Quan had escaped in panic, and the City Master Palace reappeared quietly. Shi Yan sat neatly on the ground, his face twisted, his breathing short and heavy. He was shivering badly as the power in his body started to suppress the energy in his acupuncture points.
Although Ba Si Teng had used the supernatural power of the God Blood to achieve the strength of a Second Sky of Spirit Realm warrior, he couldn’t chase after Ning Du Quan, and just stared at the direction the man had escaped in without a solution.
He was more concerned about Ba Fei. After Ning Du Quan had left, Ba Si Teng restored his consciousness, coming to check his sister. Ba Si Teng descended from the sky and checked Ba Fei’s breathing. When he recognized the girl was frozen, he felt at ease because he knew Shi Yan had helped them.
The four women of Bing Qing Tong’s group exhaled in relief when they found that Ning Du Quan had fled away. Then, they stood up and walked towards Shi Yan.
"What happened to him?" Han Cui glared at him then shouted. "His situation’s bad. Looks like he’s in the bedevilment state. What...What should we do?"
Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing were worried. They wanted to walk over there and check him thoroughly. However, when they just took a step, the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the King of Demonic Insects all showed their ferocious looks. A malicious aura diffused from the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the Devouring Gold Silkworm, as a warning given to the four women.
As the women had seen these monsters’ abilities and saw their hostility, they felt worried but couldn’t do anything. They could only stand far away from them and observe to avoid unwanted, crazy attacks from the Ghost Hunter or the War Devil.
"I don't know what happened to him. But he seems to be facing a big trouble." Bing Qing Tong was anxious and flustered. "Ba Si Teng, you know him. Can you tell what’s happened to him?" Ba Si Teng had known Shi Yan before them.
Ba Si Teng forced a smile. "I don’t know what happened. Anyway, I haven’t known him for a long time. I know nothing about his state. Otherwise, I would help him now. At this moment, I have no way."
Have heard him say so, Bing Qing Tong and the other felt more nervous, not knowing what they should do.
At this moment, three flows of vigorous aura suddenly came from above the Ice Emperor City. They were flying at a fast speed, getting closer to the Palace. Bing Qing Tong’s face changed as she became tense, shouting. "Strong hotshots are coming!"
Shuang Yu Zhu, Han Cui, Leng Dan Qing, and Ba Si Teng looked up at the sky and quietly gathered their power, ready to counter the opponents at any minute.
Shi Yan wasn't in his good condition, so the Ghost Hunter, the War Devil, and the King of Demonic Insects had to guard over him. If someone came here with a dark scheme, it would be hard for them to resist.
Bing Qing Tong was anxious.
Dazzling light zoomed over like a big meteor, falling to the Ice Emperor City with a fast speed, then landing in the City Master Palace.
"Bai Ge Sen! Bei Di and Bei Si!" Bing Qing Tong couldn’t press down her surprise. She said with a solemn face, "You guys, may I know why have you visited the Ice Emperor City?"
Descending to the Palace from the sky were Bai Ge Sen of the Aoke Family, and Bei Si and Bei Di of the Banner Family. Besides, Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun had also arrived.
Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun came right to Shi Yan and called him after they had landed.
"Shi Yan, you’ve come to the Divine Great Land. You b*stard, you didn’t visit our White Emperor City first!" Cai Yi smiled charmingly, her sleeves fluttering while her eyes sparkling.
"Shi Yan bro, haha, we meet again! It's terrific. I thought we need to wait eighteen years to see you here. I didn't expect that it would be this soon." Lao Li laughed, his face excited. "Now that you've come to the Divine Great Land, we have to treat you really, really well. Oh, who are you?"
As they were coming near, the War Devil shot out a destructive aura.
Cai Yi, Lao Li, and Lao Lun discolored. After a while, Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si came. Their faces were solemn when they stood in front of Cai Yi, and brothers Lao Li, Lao Lun, preventing them from going further.
Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Si all had an exquisite cultivation base, so they could see that Shi Yan wasn't in the right state. The aura of the War Devil was hostile. They had to worry for their descendants, so they had to shield them from the unwanted attack.
"You guys?" Bing Qing Tong was surprised, looking at them. "You came to our Ice Emperor City for Shi Yan?"
Bai Ge Sen, Bei Si, and Bei Di nodded, smiling at her. Bei Di explained, "Shi Yan saved Lao Li and Lao Lun in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. I know he seemed to have a grudge against the Nings, so I was worried about him and came here to check it. What happened?"
The Palace was freezing, and there were many collapsed ice buildings. It seemed like there had been a big fight here recently.
"Oh, you came to support him?" Bing Qing Tong sighed, then smiled. "Ning Du Quan just left. If you had arrived earlier, Ning Du Quan would have died by now."
"Ah!" Bai Ge Sen released a light sigh, his look strange. He was hesitant for a while, then asked, "Master Bing, you guys have expelled Ning Du Quan out of the Ice Emperor City? We never thought that the Ice Emperor City could be that strong. Seems we have underestimated Master Bing’s ability."
"Not me," Bing Qing Tong shook her head. Her soft, white hand pointed at Shi Yan as she spoke up tenderly. "Without him, I’m afraid the Ice Emperor City would have been erased."
The surprise in Bai Ge Sen’s eyes grew. Light flashed in his eyes. "You are saying that all because of Shi Yan?"
"Yes," nodded Bing Qing Tong.
This also shocked Bei Di. He was astounded, shaking his head, "The next wave pushes away the previous one on the long river. I didn’t expect that this kid could be that brilliant. Haha, we have moved unnecessarily. Ning Du Quan’s a top hotshot in the Heaven Temple. Your Ice Emperor City hasn't suffered a great loss this time, which surprises people a lot."
"Da-ge, I’ve told you, this kid has many strange and mysterious deeds. Normal kids would never be as excellent as he is. Do you believe me now?" Bei Si smiled.
Bei Di nodded, "I do now."
"Thanks for coming. Although it’s temporarily solved, I still have to thank you." Bing Qing Tong hesitated for a while and then thanked the others.
Bai Ge Sen was a bit embarrassed. He waved his hand and smiled, "Master Bing’s just polite. We come to the Ice Emperor City for Shi Yan. Well, it’s not because the General Union had sent us the information, so..."
Bing Qing Tong was a smart woman. She got the idea in his talk right away, but still, she said, "It’s the same. I would like to say thanks on behalf of Shi Yan, too."
Bai Ge Sen, Bei Di, and Bei Di were stunned, their faces odd.
What did she mean? What was the relationship between Shi Yan and her? They had come here for Shi Yan, not for her Ice Emperor City. What did she depend on to say thanks on behalf of him?
Bai Ge Sen and the other two were bewildered.
Bing Qing Tong just beamed a faint smile, but she didn’t explain anything. All of a sudden, her black brows slammed together as she asked with great concern. "Can you take a look at Shi Yan now to see if he meets anything dangerous? He killed Yu Li Ming, burned down his soul, and then he turned like that. We’re worried about him."
"Kill... He killed Yu Li Ming? The old freak Yu?" Bai Ge Sen was scared, unable to believe his ears. He asked to confirm again, "The Third Sky of Spirit Realm Yu Li Ming? Him?"
Bing Qing Tong nodded.
Bai Ge Sen contemplated. Divine light radiated from his eyes as he gazed at Shi Yan for a long while.
Bei Di and Bei Si dropped their jaws with a frightened face, looking at him disbelievingly.
"Wow, Shi Yan, our old bro has been that intimidating?" Lao Li couldn't hide his groan. He was like he got struck by lightning, his face thrilled. "This... This is awesome, so terrific, right? I know he's extraordinary. When we were in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, he used his Nirvana Realm cultivation base to kill the Sky Realm warriors. And now he could kill a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warrior. This is so scary, right?"
Bing Qing Tong, Shuang Yu Zhu, and Leng Dan Qing looked at the expression in their eyes and an unknown pride rose in their hearts.
He was the man they had chosen. He should be that extraordinary!
The three women thought and felt proud. It was natural. As long as it was what Shi Yan did, it should be normal for it to even go beyond their imagination.
"Is he poisoned?" Bai Ge Sen was shocked. He gathered himself together, frowned, and then asked, "Ning Du Quan are good at using poisonous techniques. Yu Li Ming's the same. Those two have a deep understanding of using banes. During the fight, they can poison the enemies without letting them recognize it. So, is it the poison in Shi Yan’s body bursting out?"
People’s eye lit up when they heard him say that. They all agreed with this assumption.
"If he’s poisoned, what should we do?" Lao Li scratched his head. "Shi Yan-ge has many ferocious beasts watching him now. Even if we want to help him, I’m afraid we can’t do anything. Moreover, Yu Li Ming and Ning Du Quan are the hotshots specializing in using poisons. The poisons they use wouldn't be easy to treat."
"It’s true." Bai Ge Sen mused. "I have an Immaculate Panacea pellet here. I heard that it can treat all kinds of poison. We can try... But, I need to approach him..."
"Is it the Immaculate Panacea refined by Spirit Treasure Sect?" Bing Qing Tong’s beautiful eyes brightened.
"It’s the Sacred level pellet refined by the Spirit Treasure Sect, the Immaculate Panacea." Bai Ge Sen beamed a faint smile. "Our Cai Yi owed him a favor. Although this Immaculate Panacea’s precious, I’m willing to give it to this kid. But I don’t know how to get near him."
Even Bai Ge Sen was afraid of the aura the War Devil and the Ghost Hunter exuded. Under their wary eyes, he didn't dare to move rashly.
By the time people were still struggling to find a way, Shi Yan’s red eyes suddenly restored. He said, "Please give the Immaculate Panacea to Ba Fei. I’m not poisoned. You guys don’t need to worry about me. No need to interfere, either. I’ll need to deal with my strange status myself."
