Chapter 1094 - Chapter 1094 Chapter 1098 Injured Sword Immortal

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1098: Injured Sword Immortal Chapter 1094: Chapter 1098: Injured Sword Immortal Rain echoed through the night, but those within the tree trunk layer felt not the slightest hint of dampness.

Massive amounts of rainwater were caught by the dense canopy layer, much like the soil below, it needed time to gradually seep through.

Thus, it was only at dawn that everyone could see the rainwater; after passing through the terraced-like leaves, it formed streams that dangled from the foliage.

Rain in the Tree Trunk Maze appeared like clusters of white beaded curtains. There was no need to seek shelter, merely to sidestep these obvious white rain threads.

Setting off early, it was not long before they quickly discovered the footprints left by others.

“It must be Sword Immortal Shen Sang and the others!” Linghu immortal teacher said with certainty.

“We are very close to them,” Wei Huan nodded.

Everyone quickened their pace and indeed saw some patrolling Guardian Disciples in a valley forest.

“It’s Venerable Wei!”

“Thank goodness!!”

The male guardians with blue sand moles showed excitement upon seeing Wei Huan and the entire Yuheng Star Palace squad.

From their expressions at that moment, it was clear they had endured various torments and looked upon Wei Huan and his group as if they were saviors.

“How are you doing?” Wei Huan inquired of the male guardians.

“We lost many people,” the male guardian said vaguely, seeming unwilling to recall the experiences of these days, “Let’s take everyone to meet Sword Immortal Shen Sang first.”

Following these weary-looking male guardians deeper into the valley, Zhu Minglang noticed they were all hiding in tree hollows, unsure if they were avoiding the rain threads or hiding from some creature’s pursuit.

Many people gathered around. These male guardians in the Star Palace were essentially subordinates to the Celestial Maidens and Jade Immortals, and upon seeing Wei Huan and other main figures like Sword Immortals, they appeared like aggrieved wives, seemingly burdened with endless grievances, needing Wei Huan and other Celestial Maidens and Sword Immortals to resolve them.

They found Sword Immortal Shen Sang.

Shen Sang was in a tree hollow as big as a cave, surrounded by dry grass which barely constituted a comfortable nest during the rainy days.

However, Shen Sang did not look comfortable. One arm was bandaged, half his face covered with medicinal patches, and he even needed help from others to sit up.

The sorry state of Sword Immortal Shen Sang made everyone exchange glances.

The mighty Sword Immortal, possessing the strength of a Quasi Divine Monarch, was injured like this??

“I am sorry, Shen Sang has let down Our God Divine Jade Balance,” Shen Sang said somewhat ashamedly to Wei Huan.

“What happened?” Wei Huan promptly asked.

“After we entered this lengthy forest, we encountered various powerful ancient creatures. In order to prevent further harassment by Demon Immortals, I challenged the lord of this territory, but to my surprise, it turned out to be a Divine Monarch Level Ancient Yao. I fought with it, and after being grievously wounded, I too was injured,” Shen Sang explained.

Zhu Minglang stayed behind and did not follow inside, but hearing Shen Sang’s description, he couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Shen Sang in his mind.

It wasn’t so much admiration for his courage, but rather a respect for his foolishness, to be so brainless!

Did he really think he was invincible?

After all, he was a Divine Monarch. Had his cultivation gone to his head that he went off to challenge a Lord of Ghost Mark Star’s territories all by himself…

Such people are probably the quickest to die!

“Your injuries can still be healed, no worries, take it slow. Right now, our situation isn’t suitable for heading toward the Southeast Sky Corner anyway,” Wei Huan comforted the injured Shen Sang.

“If we’re not heading to the Southeast Sky Corner, then what should we do?” Shen Sang asked.

“Venerable Zhu suggests that we should join forces with other organizations from the God Territory as much as possible, and strengthen our team’s capabilities before we move on to accomplish the mission together. I also think this method is more prudent,” Wei Huan explained.

“Venerable Zhu? Zhu Minglang, that wild… that guy? Why should we follow someone whose cultivation base is far inferior to ours?” Shen Sang gaped in disbelief.

What was going on with Wei Huan?

A dignified North Palace Sword Immortal, moreover a Lower God King, why should he heed a wild child’s suggestions?

Moreover, calling him Venerable Zhu???

Does he deserve it!!

“He truly possesses wisdom. You just focus on healing your injuries. We will take good care of you,” Wei Huan added, without elaborating further.

“Yes… yes,” Shen Sang nodded.

In terms of status, after all, Wei Huan was higher, and in terms of both cultivation base and sword skills, Wei Huan also surpassed Shen Sang. Shen Sang dared not question too much, but deep within, his resentment and annoyance toward Zhu Minglang intensified!

Once he had recovered from his injuries, he had to assert his dominance. He couldn’t let this guy take away his leadership role, nor could he allow Wei Huan to trust such a person. He was truly the man most worthy of the Star Palace’s trust!

…

Upon stepping out of the tree hollow, Wei Huan’s expression grew more solemn.

He had thought that merging with Shen Sang’s team would strengthen their overall power and make the journey ahead much lighter.

But Shen Sang’s team… was in even worse shape than those from the Zhengting Sword Sect.

It seemed they had charged headfirst into the Ghost Mark Star, with half of their members perishing in the fierce ancient forest, including some powerful male Guardians and Divine Monarch Shen Sang, who were injured…

The situation looked grim; they had to move forward with these injured members.

If the injuries did not heal soon, they would become a burden.

“It seems we need to find the other people from the God Territory quickly,” Wei Huan noted, spotting Zhu Minglang and reflexively discussing it with him.

“Yes, if we go look for them now, we should make it in time. In a few days, everyone will head in eight different directions of the Ghost Mark Star, and it will be much harder to find them,” Zhu Minglang said.

The eight major organizations of the God Territory were heading in different directions around the Ghost Mark Star, after all, to place the Sky-pulling Guide Stones at the eight corners of the celestial boundary…

Though they might not progress smoothly, the longer they took, the more dispersed they would become.

“This matter will still require Venerable Zhu’s effort,” said Wei Huan.

“Not at all, guarding the Star Palace is also my duty,” Zhu Minglang replied modestly.

…

Zhu Minglang began a wide-ranging search, now the only one who could move relatively freely through the ancient jungles of the Ghost Mark Star.

However, there were still places he couldn’t recklessly enter, at least those territories belonging to God-lord Level ancient species; Zhu Minglang would avoid them, as every dragon needed to be preserved for critical moments, especially since over the long term, even numerous dragons could become utterly exhausted…

Fortunately, this time the search turned up a clue; Zhu Minglang spotted a Tiger Winged Dragon flying toward its nest with a human in its clutches.

Zhu Minglang intercepted it, intending to save the person, but unfortunately, the person was already dead. Zhu Minglang was forced to interrogate the Tiger Winged Dragon.

After a severe beating, the bruised and battered Tiger Winged Dragon expressed through its claw language that it had captured this wild human in the Mushroom Umbrella Forest.

Zhu Minglang then headed for the Mushroom Umbrella Forest…
