Chapter 857 – Dangerous World
A gray-robed old man who was following behind the group revealed an awkward expression. He coughed lightly and put on a lamenting expression full of sorrow and compassion. “I heard that the two of you were sworn brothers. As a junior, you know what affection and righteousness is. But your big brother here, his injuries are just too serious. I’ve already tried everything I could to bring him back, but in the end I failed. He doesn’t have much time left so say your final goodbyes to him.”
Qin Yu looked up and asked, “And you are…?”
The Nine Nether Peak bandit who had looked after him these past days said, “Qin Yu, this is our mountain’s Doctor Ye. He is a man of great ability. Your sworn brother…hah, it’s a pity.”
Qin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed his stormy emotions. “Doctor Ye…may I ask if you have investigated my big brother’s injuries?”
The gray-robed Ye’s face stiffened but he immediately flicked his sleeves back, disgruntled. “When I do something, I naturally understand everything. As a junior, you are far too insolent! But whatever. Since I see you are overwhelmed with sadness right now, those words shouldn’t be something from your heart so I won’t pursue this matter!”
He turned and walked out. His voluminous gray robes fluttered in the wind with all the elegance of an immortal.
The mountain bandit that looked after Qin Yu pointed at him and said, “You damned boy, I can’t believe you were so disrespectful to Doctor Ye. You’re going to feel it in the future!”
Qin Yu was without expression. While he didn’t know many things, there was one thing he was sure of – this Doctor Ye was unreliable.
Qin Yu glanced at Xue Zheng who had been tossed around far too much recently. He suddenly thought he was lucky that an Origin God realm expert had overflowing vitality. Even in such a severely wounded state he still remained incredibly strong. If it wasn’t for that, he might have died long ago.
But the current question was would Xue Zheng be able to regain consciousness? If he died like this, wouldn’t that just be too great an injustice?
This doctor is harming me!
…
Xue Zheng didn’t bring shame to the great strength of his Origin God boundary. Even with only half a breath of life left in him, he still tenaciously survived. But, his pale face never recovered. He looked like a corpse, lying upright and motionless.
As Qin Yu let loose a deep breath of relief he also couldn’t help but worry. Looking at things, Xue Zheng was indeed in a critical situation. Qin Yu needed to help him restore his strength as soon as possible to save his life, but he had no idea how to do it.
However, what he could determine was that he couldn’t approach this Doctor Ye of the Nine Nether Peak. This fellow was far too dangerous. If this person knew he had almost unintentionally killed an Origin God by messing around too much, just what would he think?
Nine Nether Peak was a tall and steep mountain but the summit was actually quite large. After being manually flattened down, several low-rise buildings had been constructed. In a courtyard not too far away from Qin Yu, Doctor Ye suddenly sneezed several times while he was boiling tea. As he looked at the good tea that had been ruined by his hands he revealed a helpless expression, “That boy’s resentment is too deep!”
As he spoke he looked up. His gaze was aimed at where Qin Yu was and he seemed to clearly hear his thoughts.
A few steps away, a figure stood with their back facing him. A pink floral pattern robe was tightly wrapped around a solid and sturdy body. It was clearly a warm and girlish color, but right now it felt rough and violent. It seemed as if the pink floral robe would be torn apart at any moment and a wild dinosaur would burst out from it.
“Teacher Ye, why do you want to help him? The strength you used up this time will cause you to fall into a long period of weakness.” A cold voice came from the person’s mouth, like the icy cold rain of winter. Just hearing this voice immediately sobered the mind and spirit.
Doctor Ye poured away the tea and picked up a new teacup. “This person was dying when he met me; that is proof that he shouldn’t die. This is the rule of fate. As a benevolent healer, my conscience prevents me from sitting idly on the sidelines.”
“Does Teacher Ye think I would believe that?”
“Of course not.” After taking a sip of delicious tea, Doctor Ye grinned and said, “But I still need to observe for some time. Once I have made a determination, we can speak again.”
“Teacher Ye, do you know that your habit of making others hang on your words is truly hateful?”
“I know. But what can I do about it? I am me. If I’m anything else then I won’t be me!”
The solid and sturdy person was silent for a moment. “But now, you are only an avatar of consciousness Teacher Ye. If I become angry, it will definitely be uncomfortable for you.”
Doctor Ye’s complexion stiffened. He pursed his lips and squeezed out a smile, “Miss, I don’t think you are someone who would repay graciousness with enmity.”
“You’re wrong.” The sturdy person turned around to reveal a ferocious face covered with scars and bumps. Within a horrendous-looking pair of eye sockets, there were two sharp and bright eyes. Right now these two eyes were looking over, full of ill intentions!
Doctor Ye was shocked and the teacup in his hands nearly fell to the ground. He quickly said, “Miss, hold on, I’ll speak! I’ll speak!”
The woman revealed a trace of disappointment but she curled her lips and said, “Alright. But Doctor Ye, you should understand the type of person I am. If you dare to deceive me, even if I can’t figure it out now, I will eventually clear accounts with you. So, you had best speak the truth. This is a warning I am giving to you out of good intentions.”
Doctor Ye froze. It was clear that these words poked at his sore spot. His eyes circled around several times before he said, “Miss, you know the competitor this time. That one is not only strong but also occupies a favorable position. If we want to achieve our goal, it will be difficult. If we can save this person and awaken him, borrowing his strength, then things will be much easier…”
Before he finished speaking he was interrupted. The sturdy woman smiled, “Teacher Ye, are you sure you don’t need to verify or elaborate in any other aspects?”
Doctor Ye lasted for three seconds before he decisively conceded. “Uh…well, allow me to be honest with you. Miss, I think that this junior Qin Yu is a good choice. You’ve also reached that age. You have to choose a man sooner or later, so why not give him a try first…”
Bang –
The courtyard walls loudly collapsed. Within the chaos, Doctor Ye was left gulping several times. He muttered, “I knew this was going to be the result so I didn’t dare to mention it.”
The sturdy woman stiffened and changed the subject. “It seems that this guy has hidden himself quite well if he can make Teacher Ye have such thoughts.”
Doctor Ye waved his hand, dismissing the people that were running towards him. He changed to a more comfortable posture and proudly said, “Of course. Besides my medical skills, I’ve always believed I have considerable skill as a prophet. I’ve repeated this many times, it’s just that you never believe me.”
The tall and sturdy woman coldly snorted. “Since you favor Qin Yu so much, give him the mission to complete. I want to see whether or not he returns alive.”
A month later, Qin Yu let out a light breath. He felt the magic power revolving in his body and he smiled. After this period of time his injuries had finally recovered. Although he was still a distance away from being fully healed, he at least had the strength to protect himself.
He looked up through the window, towards the center of Nine Nether Peak’s summit. There was a courtyard there. It was peaceful and didn’t seem different from the surrounding structures. But after Qin Yu regained consciousness he had faintly felt a sense of oppression, and it was only today that he realized where the source came from.
When Qin Yu looked over, even though he had considerable power he still couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. He looked down, hiding the shocked expression in his eyes.
That place seemed to be an ordinary courtyard but the surrounding space was covered in invisible black fluctuations. Every inch contained a strength terrifying enough to destroy anything. But right now, using some unknown method, these black fluctuations had merged into space and didn’t cause any damage to the surrounding area.
However, Qin Yu could determine that as long as someone tried to rush in and revealed hostility, they would instantly be torn to pieces by the black fluctuations – this was true even for himself with his cultivation fully restored!
Just what kind of world was this? Even a mere mountain bandit group had such a terrifying powerhouse? If this was true then this world was far too dangerous!
