Perhaps it was because he was too heavily injured, or perhaps it was because he had been soaked in the hot spring, but Su Li's face was slightly swollen. His two eyes were tightly shut, and his heroic spirit had completely dissipated. At the very beginning, that sharp sword glow that Chen Changsheng could not look at directly had disappeared to some unknown place. He seemed just like an ordinary person.
Just at this moment, the Black Dragon's spiritual soul left the dagger and returned to the jade ruyi tied to his waist. It transformed back into a seemingly real Black Dragon and flew onto Chen Changsheng's shoulder. Looking at the surrounding snowy mountains, it asked blankly, "Where is this place? Have we left the Garden of Zhou? "
Chen Changsheng shook his head. "I also don't know what's going on. As soon as we came out, we encountered such a large force."
When the Black Dragon was in the dagger, it could only sense the outside world through Chen Changsheng's spiritual sense. It did not know what had happened earlier, so it asked in confusion, "What force?"
"The Yellow Paper Umbrella was taken by this senior, and it was actually a dagger … Of course, that's not important. Just now on the snowy plains, that black-robed male demon might very well be that rumored Demon Military Advisor. There were also ten-odd Demon Generals, and every single one of them was as strong as Teng Xiaoming and Liu Wan'er. There was also that shadow. I really suspect that it was the Demon Lord."
Chen Changsheng gave a simple description of the force on the snowy plains. The Black Dragon was shocked speechless. Even if it had recovered its true form as a Black Frost Dragon beneath New North Bridge, if it encountered powerful figures like Black Robe and the Demon Lord, it would still die, let alone a weak spiritual soul right now.
It looked at the middle-aged man sleeping by the hot spring and asked, "Then who is this human? He actually survived, and even managed to escape with you? "
Chen Changsheng replied, "He is the Junior Martial Uncle of Mount Li, Su Li."
Upon hearing this name, the Black Dragon's body began to tremble, letting out a crisp cry. The jade ruyi seemed like it was about to shatter.
Chen Changsheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The Black Dragon looked at Su Li, its bewitching vertical pupils constricting slightly. It seemed extremely frightened and said, "He is very powerful."
Chen Changsheng thought about how, on the snowy plains, Su Li's hand had fallen on the hilt of his sword and beheaded a Demon General. Halfway out of the sheath, his sword had heavily injured Black Robe. He thought to himself, although this senior's way of doing things is somewhat absurd and wretched, in terms of cultivation in the path of the sword, he truly is incomparably powerful. It's just that Senior Black Dragon is also an extremely proud and tyrannical divine being, so why is he so afraid upon hearing his name?
"I have never met him, but I know that he … has killed many dragons."
The Black Dragon glanced at the Yellow Paper Umbrella in Su Li's hand. Without the slightest hesitation, it transformed back into a spiritual soul and hid itself in the dagger. No matter how Chen Changsheng called for it, it refused to come out.
Chen Changsheng was very confused and somewhat helpless. He looked at Su Li and discovered that even in his sleep, this senior still tightly gripped the Yellow Paper Umbrella, unwilling to let go.
Then he thought of the question Su Li had asked before he fell asleep. He did not know what the current situation was in the Garden of Zhou. He did not know whether those people had successfully escaped, whether Zhexiu and Qi Jian were still alive, whether that Mount Li Sword Sect disciple Liang Xiaoxiao who had betrayed humanity and colluded with the demons was still alive, and … how was she now? Was she alright?
He was very worried about these things, and also very impatient. He wanted to return to Hanqiu City or the capital as soon as possible and confirm how those people he cared about were doing. At the same time, he wanted to tell those people who cared about him that he was safe and sound, that there was nothing wrong with him. Otherwise … once Luoluo found out about the Garden of Zhou, just how worried would she be?
Yet, how could he leave now?
Hearing the thunderous snoring, he somewhat helplessly shook his head. He squatted by Su Li's side and began to examine his injuries — no matter how anxious he was to leave, he could not just abandon this senior. Even if he was currently very tired and his true essence had been completely consumed, he still had to continue holding on, because this senior was clearly on the verge of dying.
Su Li's clothes were already in tatters. Those injuries and the sword intent had all exploded in that instant, directly piercing through his body from the inside out. There were wounds everywhere, marks left behind by extremely pure energy burning everywhere. Even with Chen Changsheng's superb medical skills and rich experience, for a moment, he still did not know what to do.
Moreover, he currently did not have any medicine on hand, not even a piece of cloth to bandage his wounds with. The only thing he could use was the golden needle wrapped around his finger.
The golden needle pierced through the dense hot mist and accurately landed on Su Li's neck, slowly and firmly penetrating in.
… …
… …
What made Chen Changsheng somewhat comforted was that not long after he inserted the needle, Su Li woke up. It seemed that this senior's cultivation was indeed different from that of ordinary cultivators. Such serious injuries were nothing to him. If that was the case, perhaps he could leave now?
Su Li glanced at him. His expression was very cold, completely indifferent and distant, as if he was looking at a stranger. Chen Changsheng could accept this point. He and this senior had always been strangers. It was just that this Mount Li senior's eyes had a hint of condescension in them, a hint of disdain like a god looking at an ant. It still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
In the next moment, Su Li's indifferent and distant emotions gradually disappeared. Perhaps it was because Chen Changsheng did not take advantage of his sleep to leave, and was still thinking of ways to treat his injuries, which made him somewhat satisfied.
"Who are you?" He looked at Chen Changsheng and asked.
Before he fell asleep, Su Li had asked several times: Who am I? Of course he knew the answer, he just wanted to use this question to draw out a prideful conclusion. I am such a supreme expert, how could anything happen to me? This was the first time he thought of asking this youth's name.
Chen Changsheng thought about it, then decided to tell the truth. However, without waiting for him to speak, Su Li continued, "Who you are is not important. What I want to say is, although this sword was originally mine, it was still you who sent it to my hands. In order to express my gratitude, I have decided to pass on a sword style to you."
Su Li stood up and glanced at the Yellow Paper Umbrella in his hands. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Chen Changsheng stood behind him, seeming somewhat hesitant.
Su Li did not turn his head. He coldly said, "You don't need to shed tears of gratitude, and you also don't need to report your sect or school in an attempt to establish some relationship with me and scheme for even more benefits."
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng said without hesitation, "Orthodox Academy, Chen Changsheng."
He was very clear on the relationship between the Orthodox Academy and the Mount Li Sword Sect, or more accurately, his own relationship with the Mount Li Sword Sect, was not very good. It could even be said to be extremely terrible, but he did not want to lie. Moreover, this Mount Li senior's conduct made him rather displeased, so he said it, and said it very loudly.
The snowy mountain range was slightly cold, and the hot spring bank was silent.
Su Li stood on the rock by the spring and expressionlessly said, "I'll give you another chance."
Chen Changsheng looked at his back and felt somewhat cold. However, he did not know where this energy came from, but it made him say it again, "Orthodox Academy, Chen Changsheng."
This time, his voice was even louder, but his tone was even calmer.
Su Li slowly turned around and looked down at him in the eyes. He said, "It seems like you're a person who doesn't know how to cherish opportunities."
