Chapter 222: Life 73, Age 32, Martial Grandmaster Peak
When I had left five young cultivators with poor foundations alone on top of a mountain for five days, I had known that there would likely be problems. The group might not mesh together well, and there might be arguments. With cultivation techniques in the mix, there might even be fights. However, based on who I had chosen to join me and the protections I had put in place, I didn’t expect anything to get too far out of hand.
When I returned to Mount Jiang and found Liang’s broken and unconscious body lying on one of the lower cliffs of the mountain, I had to admit that things had gone a bit beyond my expectations.
Upon reaching him, I popped a Rank 2 Healing Pill in his mouth and shoved him into my storage space. After climbing up to the plateau on top of the mountain, I took him out and carried him over to the area where everyone had been building their new houses.
These houses were in various stages of construction, but I didn’t waste time appraising them. I just walked to the rough center of the construction zone and started shouting.
“Get out here! Now!”
Only a moment after my call, three young cultivators rushed out to greet me.
“Where’s GuiMing?”
My tone was as frosty as I could make it, and they all backed up a step at my words.
Under the pressure of my presence, his sister, GuiAi, could only shakily raise a finger and point to the house that she had just exited.
