Chapter 356: Spirit Stone (II)
On Soaring Serpent Mountain, a burly woman sped through the forest, her expression anxious.
A distress signal just came from Junior Brother's side. Could he have encountered a yao martial artist as well?
Gu Ye felt uneasy in her heart.
In this beast tide, the massive charge of ferocious beasts was secondary. The demon puppets mixed among them were the true menace. She had not expected them to appear so early, which weighed heavily on her mind. The area under Gu Ye's responsibility faced the brunt of the tide, bearing the greatest pressure. She had just been tied down by two powerful beasts and three demon puppets, unable to disengage. After considerable effort to slay them, she rushed here without delay.
"Hm? Junior Brother!"
Suddenly, Gu Ye froze as she spotted Lin Zheyu heading toward the mountainside of Soaring Serpent Mountain. Black smoke continued to rise from his body, and his blood qi was draining rapidly. Had he not consumed five Essence and Qi Pills on the way back, he would not have lasted until now.
"Senior Sister, why have you come here?" Lin Zheyu asked in surprise as he stopped upon seeing Gu Ye.
The area Gu Ye was responsible for had to withstand the frontal assault of the beast tide. Logically, she should not have been able to spare the time to come here.
"I saw the distress signal from your side and came to take a look. Are your injuries serious?" Gu Ye asked with a frown of concern. After examining Lin Zheyu's wounds and noticing the residual demon essence on him, shock appeared on her face.
"You were attacked by a yao? No, that is not right. A half-yao?" Gu Ye said in astonishment.
She stepped forward and placed her right hand on Lin Zheyu's shoulder. Pale blue true strength surged out, spreading from her palm to envelop his body. Under the cleansing force of true strength, the remaining demon essence quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air.
"Thank you, Senior Sister," Lin Zheyu said.
