Chapter 45 - 36 Slander
The vehicle sped along the highway, quickly leaving the dangerous, cordoned-off area behind and smoothly returning to Tianchang City.
Seeing the familiar cityscape, Li Yi, covered in blood inside the carriage, finally relaxed completely.
At this moment, he felt severe soreness and pain all over his body, with multiple areas damaged due to excessive force or prolonged running, especially his back. He had been slashed a few bloody cuts when he first dodged that fierce Biao, and though the bleeding had stopped, the pain was still intensely burning.
"Li Yi, after we get back to AnDing District, I will arrange for a doctor to check on you and give you an examination. The injuries you have now seem quite serious," Zheng Fei, noticing Li Yi’s pain, said from within the vehicle.
"Okay, thank you, I’ll trouble you then," Li Yi nodded, not declining the offer.
Zheng Fei laughed, "It’s what we should do, no need for thanks. After all, you got injured during this mission. The company won’t just ignore that. But you’re actually better off compared to a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator named He Jun—his injuries are far worse."
"He Jun?" Li Yi’s expression shifted, "He’s still alive?"
He Jun had previously collided with him while fleeing, attempting to use Li Yi to draw away that fierce Biao. However, he was also crafty, using He Jun to lead away a group of spider-like humanoid monsters.
"Still alive, and he probably won’t die, but he lost an arm and has numerous severe injuries. If it weren’t for good luck and bumping into Yang Yilong also evacuating, who helped him out, he likely wouldn’t have made it back," Zheng Fei explained. "Plus, He Jun was unfortunate; he didn’t encounter just one fierce beast, but a group of monsters."
"Among all those who escaped back, his situation was the most perilous."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s expression became rather odd.
