Chapter 482 - Massive Increase in Strength!
Chapter 482: Massive Increase in Strength!
“Ao!”
For a moment, the wild souls and vengeful spirits surrounding everyone let out heart-wrenching screams. When the killing formation was broken, they lost the sufficient strength needed for support and quickly scattered in all directions.
On the other hand, Victor’s enormous power had almost destroyed the meridians in his body, almost breaking them into pieces!
Furthermore, under the burning of the extremely pure and hot fire spear, half of Victor’s body had almost turned into charcoal. Moreover, his breathing had become weaker as if he would die on the spot in the next moment!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Gongye Yuyu took out a rebirth pill and stuffed it into Victor’s mouth, using his spiritual power to help him refine it, which had eased the pain.
Very quickly, the charcoal-like skin began to peel off, revealing the new and tender skin, and Victor’s breathing finally returned to normal.
Seeing this scene, Gongye Yuyu finally let out a sigh of relief. He immediately turned around and ordered the general to bring Victor along and continue deeper into the cave.
After consuming the rebirth pill, Victor would be able to be dissuaded from his injuries within an hour at most. After the training just now, it was not an exaggeration to say that although his realm had not broken through, his spiritual power content was at least 40% higher than before!
Of course, the most important thing was that he had not obtained the remnant soul yet. If he were to send Victor away just like that, this brat would probably blame Gongye Yuyu in the future.
“Rest and regroup here. We will continue to set off after an hour.”
“Senior Gongye Yuyu, we have wasted so much time in this formation. We didn’t exhaust too much of our spiritual energy, we shouldn’t waste our time in such a place.”
“In the beginning, Young Master Xiao said what’s so scary about a remnant soul? In the end? The 16 array formations nearly took all of our lives. This time, no matter what, I will not retreat. Not only for me but also for my subordinates. I won’t risk their lives!”
Gongye Yuyu’s attitude was very firm. He had to wait until Victor woke up before making any plans. Although Xiao Chenggan was very dissatisfied with this, he could not do anything about it.
“Young Master Xiao, there are some things that should not be said by me. However, since things have come to this, the old man, I will say a few more words.
“Indeed, you are the eldest son and also the future heir of the Xiao family. However, this does not mean that they or we have to work for you. As the saying goes, husband and wife may be birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they will fly separately. Even husbands and wives who share the same bed are like this… let alone a subordinate?
“You are anxious and afraid of another accident. This, I can naturally understand. However, have you ever thought that having just experienced such an accident, how tense the soldiers’ nerves are? If there were any more accidents and the soldiers rebelled, what would you do?
“Sometimes, although it is just a simple order, it is surprisingly useful. Not only will it win over the hearts of the people, but it will also avoid many accidents.” Having said that, Gongye Yuyu patted Xiao Chenggan’s shoulder and revealed a smile that said “you are still young”.
Although Xiao Chenggan was dissatisfied with this, he had to admit that what Gongye Yuyu said made sense.
After all, he was a general who once commanded hundreds of thousands of people. In this aspect, he was definitely more skilled than Xiao Chenggan.
“Seniors teachings made me realized how eager I was to succeed.”
“It’s fine. It’s great to know your mistakes and correct them.”
“However, senior, there’s something I don’t understand.”
“Speak.”
“The person who broke the array just now doesn’t seem to be a general of the Wind Moon Altar?”
Xiao Chenggan had investigated the information regarding the Central Plains Sect Alliance before he came, especially Gongye Yuyu. Anyone who had a relationship with him had been thoroughly investigated by Xiao Chenggan.
This was the only person who had suddenly appeared and turned the tide. Xiao Chenggan did not know anything about his identity or whereabouts.
“Oh, you mean him.” Gongye Yuyu curled his lips in disdain, he said, “Although I am the altar master of the Central Plains Sect Alliance, it doesn’t mean that I can’t secretly nurture some strengths. Just like how even though you are the young master of the Xiao family, not all of the people around you are sent by your father, right?”
Gongye Yuyu’s answer was somewhat ambiguous, but it could perfectly shut Xiao Chenggan’s mouth. The latter could only nod his head and said nothing else.
“Alright, he’s about to wake up. We can set off now.” Gongye Yuyu laughed lightly. He looked at Victor who was gradually waking up and prepared to set off.
“Old… Sir, has the array been broken?”
Victor had just regained his senses and his mind was a little muddled. He almost blurted out the words “old fart”.
“It’s broken. You did well, kid.”
“Thank you for your praise, sir. It’s just that I don’t feel too well. Can I request to leave first?”
Victor raised his head and looked at Gongye Yuyu. He figured that the latter should still have this amount of chemistry with him.
As expected, after hearing Victor’s request to leave, Gongye Yuyu did not refuse. He nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t send anyone else back with you. Pay attention to your safety.”
“Thank you for your concern, sir.”
Victor bowed and immediately turned around. Leaving in a flash… was impossible.
After disappearing from Xiao Chenggan and the others’ work unit, Victor asked the mountain spirit to hide his aura and secretly followed behind them.
“Speaking of which, do you have a way to contact other remnant souls? For example, do you have a secret signal like ‘The odd number reverses, the even number remains and plus or minus depends on the quadrant’?”
“What do you mean reverse or remains? I don’t have any of these. The remnant souls can’t communicate with one another. This is also to avoid attracting the attention of certain existences. Why?”
“Nothing. I’m just curious. If we can contact him, you can ask him where he’s hiding now so that I can go over and fuse the two of you.”
“It’s hard to say. If the remnant soul is mine, perhaps I would’ve left Wailing Mountain by now. The 16 formations have blocked everyone for so long. It’s long enough for me to leave.”
Hearing this, Victor suddenly raised his head. His entire body was like a statue, frozen. It was a long time before he recovered.
“Old fart! Did you remember any checkpoints outside the Wailing Mountain? What I meant was, if the remnant soul left the Wailing Mountain during that time, would you be able to catch it?”
Victor remembered that when he first met the spirit of the mountain, this fellow had used a cave to attract the attention of most people. That was how it was able to escape.
“Old fart? Old fart!”
“You… you just reminded me. I didn’t set up any defenses. If that remnant soul left, we wouldn’t be able to find it at all…”
“Damn it! Are you f*cking kidding me? How could you make such a mistake here?”
“My mistake, my mistake.”
“Then what do we do now?” Victor frowned and said in an unfriendly tone.
“Nothing… If the remnant soul leaves Wailing Mountain and we want to catch it, it would be like finding a silver needle in the vast sea!”
