Flying Spirit Martial Academy, Star Peak.
Small Building Number 3358.
The moment his eyes flickered open, Lu Yun’s body jolted upright.
“Where am I?”
“Am I not dead?”
These two thoughts flashed across Lu Yun’s chaotic mind at lightning speed.
Then, the scenes before his blackout replayed rapidly in his mind.
A surge of immense oppression.
A terrifying spread of murderous intent.
Familiar figures.
An earth-shattering sword swing.
A white lotus platform.
The pitch-black Door of Netherworld.
Then all those scenes pieced together once more, forming a continuous, dynamic picture.
The Black Boat was ambushed halfway by the White Lotus Sect. Elder Lei Canghe was absent for some reason. The Door of the Netherworld opened, revealing a Nineturn Pure Heart White Lotus that saved everyone on board the Black Boat.
He fought alone and was seriously wounded due to his inability to resist the enemy.
He then joined forces with Xiao Chen, who suddenly awakened but seemed to have become a different person. With one swing of his sword, Xiao Chen cut through the Netherworld, broke the lotus platform, and split the earth and the sky.
In the end, he suddenly intended to kill everyone on the Black Boat…
After replaying this picture in his mind, Lu Yun finally felt clearer.
“But why am I still alive?”
“Could it be that Xiao Chen killed everyone else and spared me?”
“Or did he spare everyone?”
Contemplating these possibilities, Lu Yun felt an instant surge of overwhelming confusion.
Just then, the door creaked open, interrupting Lu Yun’s thoughts.
Huh? This little girl looks familiar.
Wearing a Smoke-Cloud Butterfly Dress and about eleven or twelve years old Isn’t this Chen Yawei, one of the Level 5 Innate Talents?
Right, she’s the good seed capable of providing him with a few hundred Contribution Points.
Wait, why is she still alive?
“Lu…Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Lu has woken up.”
Upon seeing Lu Yun stirring from the bed, Chen Yawei couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.
Then, there was a loud bang as the door was flung open, and another more than familiar figure appeared in Lu Yun’s sight.
The moment he saw this figure, Lu Yun shivered violently.
“Why is it that guy!”
Lu Yun yelled internally.
The scene on the Black Boat had left a deep impression on him. His memories were too distinct, causing him to instinctively fear when he saw Xiao Chen.
Regardless of his ability to cut through the Netherworld with one sword swing, split the lotus platform, or shatter the earth and the sky, even the immense pressure and terrifying murderous intent he had unleashed in the end had left an indelible memory on Lu Yun.
This guy is too dangerous.
Looking at Lu Yun’s reaction, Xiao Chen thought that Lu Yun’s injuries had recurred and couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you alright?
His tone remained cold and indifferent, but a trace of concern was discernible in his icy eyes.
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Lu Yun quickly reassured and then took a moment to reassess the Xiao Chen…
Pupils deep like the galaxies, sharp as an eagle’s, eyebrows slightly knitted, embodying endless thoughts; his elegant face still held a hint of youth. This was starkly different from the Xiao Chen bathed in purple lightning on the Black Boat.
Lu Yun was certain he did not mistake his observations. Although it was the same person, the feelings they gave off were completely different.
“Do you have any recollection of what happened on the Black Boat?” Lu Yun cautiously asked.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen replied: “Shortly after I executed the final slash, I completely lost consciousness due to exhaustion. When I came to, the Black Boat had already arrived at the Martial Academy.”
Lu Yun fixed his eyes on Xiao Chen, hoping to spot something out of the ordinary, but found nothing.
“Did you notice anything unusual in your body or soul when you woke up?” Lu Yun continued his exploration.
“I suppose not. It’s just that the spiritual drain has been severe, likely because of the influence of the malicious power from the White Lotus Sect.”
Mentioning the White Lotus Sect, a flash of murderous intent gleamed in Xiao Chen’s eyes.
“Did you notice no change in your body?” Recalling the white lotus platform that had been refined, Lu Yun continued to probe.
“No difference, no problem whatsoever.” Xiao Chen retorted: “What about you? You’ve been unconscious for half a month. What happened to you after 1 passed out, to have suffered such serious injuries?”
What he knew was even less than Chen Yawei and the others.
However, if others chose not to say, he would naturally not ask.
“I don’t quite know either,” Lu Yun shook his head slightly.
To this point, he still felt there were many questions left unanswered.
Since Xiao Chen doesn’t remember what occurred on the Black Boat, he naturally wouldn’t mention it as he was unsure whether it would be good or bad for Xiao Chen.
Or perhaps revealing it would put his own life at risk.
After all, he had experienced that dreadful murderous intent firsthand.
Under such suddenly unleashed murderous intent, he felt that his Slaughter Conception was merely a drop in the bucket, and he could not resist it.
“I think I know something.”
Just then, Chen Yawei, who was off to the side, chimed in. Only then did Lu Yun and Xiao Chen realize there was a third person in the room.
Feeling the gaze of both Lu Yun and Xiao Chen on her, Chen Yawei immediately became nervous.
“It’s okay, go on,” Lu Yun reassured with a smile.
Apparently drawing great courage from this, Chen Yawei managed to overcome her nervousness, softly speaking: “Senior Brother Lu, you sustained such severe damage because you were relentlessly attacking the lotus platform, only to be gravely wounded by its counterblow.”
“Seeing Senior Brother Lu continue to attack the lotus platform despite his grave injuries, but all we could do was stand by helplessly…”
At this point, tears welled up in Chen Yawei’s eyes, and she broke down crying.
She has been putting on a brave face in front of her younger sister all this time..
