Chapter 496: Dispersing the Gu
After eliminating Daoist Jiupao, Qin Sang immediately set off on the return journey without rest. The flying yaksha’s condition was deteriorating rapidly; its corpse core’s cracks refused to heal and even showed signs of spreading.
The Earth Malevolent Qi he had gathered with the Lesser Yin Magnetic Bottles was far too little, like a drop in the ocean. He had to return to the Sunken Cave as quickly as possible.
With Daoist Jiupao and the Four Demonic Flame Envoys all slain, the Demonic Flame Sect was now little more than an empty name. There were still a few remaining members of the Kuiyin Sect hiding within it, and Qin Sang had originally intended to sweep through the Demonic Flame Sect’s mountain stronghold. But now, he had no time for that.
At the fastest speed possible, he rushed back to the Sunken Cave.
Qin Sang summoned the flying yaksha.
Its aura was in utter chaos. Though its external wounds had mostly healed, its body had withered severely, almost shriveled into a dried corpse.
The injury at its dantian had not fully recovered either. Wisps of corpse qi continuously seeped from the wound, the Qihai on the verge of collapse. The corpse core had turned pale, cracked and brittle.
Considering Daoist Jiupao himself had been unable to fully display Core Formation Realm strength, and the flying yaksha was also but an incomplete product compared to a true one, this result was already the best Qin Sang could have hoped for.
He had been prepared for the possibility that the flying yaksha would be completely ruined.
"At least I made it back in time," Qin Sang murmured.
He swept his spiritual consciousness carefully across the flying yaksha’s body, confirming that although its injuries were severe, they had not yet reached an irreparable stage. Only then did he truly relax.
He placed several barriers on the flying yaksha to seal its aura, then directed it to leap into the Earth Malevolent Qi.
