Chapter 1818 (Raw 1829): Everyone Has Their Reasons
“Ah!”
Yan Chen was startled at Xiao Chen’s words.
“Turn around. Let’s speak. I won’t kill you.” Xiao Chen found this person somewhat unfathomable. However, this person’s eyes were very clear and pure, unlike an evil monk’s.
Xiao Chen was always more tolerant of the Buddhist sect’s people.
Even if the other party was disrespectful of him or had malicious intentions, he would avoid killing them if possible.
Yan Chen felt depressed in his heart. If his strength had recovered, he would not be in such an awkward situation.
He thought himself clever and fled. In the end, he was blocked by a bunch of insignificant fish. This made it hard to advance or retreat. He could not help feeling trapped.
Yan Chen turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. Then, he answered honestly, “I was not trying to attack you. I only thought that you were dead and wanted to see if you had any Medicinal Pills for treating injuries. Although I did not hold much hope, there might still have been a small chance. Who knew, you were not dead.
“You sent me flying just like that, nearly made me die in a fish’s belly.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he did not say anything, merely extended his hand and tossed Yan Chen the last Medicinal Pill for treating injuries that his senior brother Ye Zifeng had given him.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Yan Chen reached out and gently caught the Medicinal Pill that was flying over. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen with confusion on his face.
What is this?
Poison? It does not seem like poison. Treatment medicine?
However, this was a person who appeared in the one hundred thousand great peaks and was so vicious in his attacks. If he was not a pirate, he should be someone of the Demonic Dao.
Why would such a person save me?
Right now, Yan Chen had a very negative opinion of the people of the Demonic Dao.
When he entered this Myriad Star Mountain, everyone attacked him just because of his bald head.
It was never-ending and incredibly frustrating.
Xiao Chen did not want to waste his breath, so he directly took out the Buddhist sect’s Golden Letter that the Venerable Xuan Bei gave to him. “Do you recognize this?”
“A Golden Letter Honorary Gift!”
Yan Chen was shocked. Then, as he looked at Xiao Chen, he was even more shocked.
Nearly everyone of the Buddhist sects would know about this Golden Letter. Only people whom the Buddhist sects had a great sense of grat.i.tude towards would receive such a gift. As long as one saw the Golden Letter, no matter one’s position in a Buddhist sect, one would have to be willing to repay that grat.i.tude.
The materials of the Golden Letter were just ordinary divine materials. However, the scripture written on the Golden Letter was the Kāśyapa Holy Scripture.
That was the first and last scripture the Kāśyapa Buddha left behind after attaining Buddhahood.
Within the Buddhist sects, only the people managing the four Buddhist Holy Lands had the ability to make copies of this scripture.
Others’ Buddhist nature would not be strong enough. At the very best, they could only barely gain enlightenment through it. Even if one understood it, when one wanted to copy it down, one would discover that one did not know how to start, completely forgetting it.
Hence, this Golden Letter was extremely precious.
All along, it had been used as the highest form of Honorary Gift among the Buddhist sects, given to those whom the Buddhist sect was exceedingly grateful to.
“You…you… How could you possibly receive the Golden Letter?”
Yan Chen did not dare to believe it as he received the Golden Letter. His hands trembled slightly.
Xiao Chen had returned the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique’s saber manual. Naturally, that was worthy of this gift.
However, there was no need to tell Yan Chen the reason behind it.
After verifying that the Golden Letter is real, Yan Chen stopped worrying and directly consumed the Medicinal Pill that Xiao Chen gave him.
Even before Yan Chen completely refined the Medicinal Pill, he felt all the injuries on his body stabilize, no longer worsening.
Yan Chen could not help smiling. “What a powerful Medicinal Pill! I can probably make a full recovery after six or seven days.”
“Six or seven days?”
When Xiao Chen heard what Yan Chen said, he revealed a puzzled expression.
What kind of injury is it? To think that it is so severe.
The Medicinal Pill that Senior Brother Ye Zifeng gave me is extremely precious. Even if this monk is severely injured, he should not require such a long time to recover.
Yan Chen sighed, “The Demonic Dao sects have too many means. I am to blame for being careless when I saw that those two were only middle-stage Star Venerates and their Demonic Might was not strong. My mind and soul got injured; my physical body nearly turned into mush.”
When Xiao Chen heard that, he gave Yan Chen a strange look.
Do you have to boast like that?
Even though I respect you as an expert, there is no need to put on a front and take a tone of looking down on middle-stage Star Venerates as nothing, right?
However, although Xiao Chen thought that, he did not care too much. He just listened quietly.
“Boom!”
Just at this moment, a strong Demonic Might, accompanied by a will of soul, surged over.
Yan Chen vomited a mouthful of blood, sent flying as he cried out miserably.
At the same time, Xiao Chen used two kinds of Dao Might to support himself before barely managing to resist with his own will of soul. As he looked into the distance, his expression flickered.
“That’s not good!”
The gargantuan snake that rivaled a Holy Venerate charged back in a hurry.
The gargantuan snake’s berserk fury when it discovered that its offspring was dead, the Blood Spirit Flowers plundered, and its lair no longer possessing Demonic Qi did not bear thinking.
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he grabbed hold of Yan Chen in midair. Then, not daring to remain any longer, he stood on the lightning dragons and streaked far away like a thunderbolt, his entire body s.h.i.+ning with resplendent electric light.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Xiao Chen, who had already fled far away, could still feel an overwhelming Demonic Might erupting in the direction of Blood Spirit Island.
Even from such a distance, he could still see black Qi, formed by killing intent, soaring into the clouds.
After getting farther away, Xiao Chen put down the pale Yan Chen and asked somewhat worriedly, “Are you alright?”
Yan Chen’s injuries had just taken a turn for the better when the will of soul infused with Demonic Might smashed into him, aggravating his injuries.
Yan Chen vomited out a mouth of blood and smiled bitterly. “I’m fine. I’m used to it. My master said that the moment I was born, I had already used up all my luck. In this life, I am fated to be unlucky. So, I’m really used to it already.”
There is such a thing? I’ve never heard of it before.
“However, your injuries…”
“It’s fine. I will just have to delay the recovery of my full strength. I won’t die.”
Yan Chen stopped speaking after that and sat down cross-legged to rest.
Xiao Chen rubbed his chin, feeling that he had forgotten something.
Oh, right! Where is the Demon Blood Vulture?
Xiao Chen had seen the gargantuan snake but not the Demon Blood Vulture, which had lured it away.
Speaking of which, this Demon Blood Vulture is rather capable. To think that it managed to lure the huge scarlet-patterned snake away for such a long time.
This greatly surpa.s.sed Xiao Chen’s expectations.
I do not see it now. Could it have been eaten by the huge snake?
That’s not right.
The Demon Blood Vulture had absorbed the Demonic Qi that the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation leaked out. Xiao Chen could vaguely sense that the bird was still alive.
---
Far away, above the Ash Gray Sea, the Demon Blood Vulture flew close to the surface of the sea. It let out loud cries of extreme excitement.
The pursuit of the scarlet-patterned snake had been extremely dangerous, with nearly no chance of survival. To think that it managed to survive.
At the crucial moment, the Demon Blood Vulture succeeded in refining all the Demonic Qi that it absorbed.
Its bloodline mutated further, and its nine scarlet tail feathers all had a golden line appear in the middle of the feathers.
With the contrast of the scarlet feathers covering its body, those nine golden lines appeared very eye-catching.
Its red eyes now also had a weak trace of golden light.
Hahaha! I have actually mutated. This great me is going back to fight to be the next Blood Vulture King. This great me will become the Blood Vulture King!
When this great me becomes the Blood Vulture King, I will definitely return and teach that fellow a lesson.
To think that he dared to make the great me play bait. This great me will definitely take revenge.
If I do not take revenge, I swear that I will no longer be a bird!
It turned out that after this Demon Blood Vulture gained a great benefit, it no longer cared for Xiao Chen, its backer. It prepared to return to its race to fight to be the next Blood Vulture King.
