Chapter 259

Zhang Dong turned his head to the side as he didn’t really want to see the ‘booty play’ between two old men. The moment the ‘task’ was done the sect leader from the Divine Fist Sect was cured almost instantly. His loud shout of ‘gratitude’ could be heard by everyone here. The truth about this day would be kept hidden due to the old man’s embarrassment.

“Let me help him contain the energies inside of his body!”

Zhang Dong shouted out, he placed his hand on the old sect leader’s head and brought his screams to a stop. He would have done this sooner but he was a bit surprised at the instantaneous scream. The suppository was more effective than he expected, if he knew that the medicine was this potent then he might have just given it to him the normal way. Now it was best not to mention this fact to this person.

With his aid, the bandaged up old man started lighting up like a Christmas tree. The wrappings that were around him burst as they weren’t able to contain this degree of Qi. This left the sect leader nice and naked, the doctors from the United Element Sect didn’t care much but the sect members from the Divine Fist Sect that were there started looking away. They were having a hard time seeing their leader getting treated like that. First was the suppository and now he was all bare before them.

“Almost there!”

He shouted while controlling the golden energies in the patient’s body. After his naked form came to light the patches of black demonic energy were seen. They were shrinking away as the golden energy touched them. The holy Qi was successfully killing off the evil qi that was inside this man’s body, soon enough none of it was left behind. The man was fully healed and even looked a bit younger than he did before. His skin wasn’t as wrinkly and color returned to his face.

“It’s done!”

Zhang Dong waved his hand and brought over some white cloth to cover this naked grandpa. He then floated him down to the ground where his own sect members could take care of him. The two other patients weren’t as affected by the evil Qi as the sect leader. He could probably heal them by making one more pill and split it between the two.

He got to work on it along with his sect members. While he and they were concentrating Fang Heng moved over to his sect leader and started calling out to him.

“Sect leader are you awake? Sect leader Wuying?”

He could see him looking much better than before. His complexion had improved, the healing pill had worked wonders. In time the sect leader that was named Mao Wuying started waking up. His eyes quivered a bit but soon enough he could see Heng’s wrinkled up face looking down at him.

“Elder Heng?”

“Oh thank the heavens, you are alive sect leader!”

The old man smiled, with the sect leader alive and then the other two elders he wasn’t the only nascent soul elder left. With them around, this situation could be salvaged somewhat. They still had a strong base of operations with a powerful defensive barrier that was now reinforced. Now after defeating that monster they would be able to wait and slowly recover. With four nascent soul masters on their side, that would be a possibility.

“What happened… I feel strange…”

The old man looked close to sixty, he had a full beard and gray hair to match it. His face was round and he looked like a friendly fellow. He looked confused and disoriented, he was also grasping his rear while rubbing it. Something back there wasn’t right, the pill had melted during the healing process but the feeling it leftover still lingered.

“I-I feel like I have lost something… something precious… uh…”

The man rubbed his head while trying to grasp the situation. He recalled the last things he remembered. He and his sect members activated the grand formation and used up their trump card to drive a menacing monster back. He then succumbed to the wounds along with the backlash of activating that old relic. Then he woke up with a headache and an even larger ache in his backside.

“Elder Heng please give me an explanation…, why am I naked and who are those people?”

Mao Wuying gathered himself to his feet while holding the white cloth around his body. He could see Zhang Dong not that far away producing another pill for healing. He could feel that the white-haired man wasn’t anyone simple.

“Let me explain, sect leader. That man is the Patriarch of the United Element Sect, I met him at the annual banquet after you and the other elders went into a coma I…”

While the pill creation and healing process continued Fang Heng started explaining what happened. He gave his sect leader a short version of the events that happened as there wasn’t enough time to go into much detail. He painted Zhang Dong and his sect in a good light. They were their saviors and would probably need to get rewarded in some way.

Heng filled Wuying in on the information while the two watched Zhang Dong heal the other two elders. This time around the pill was inserted into their mouths which was enough to cure them both. These elders were at the middle stage of the nascent soul level. The sect leader was at the lower end of the late stage but now with this healing pill in their bodies, they could push their cultivation to the next level. That is if they survived the coming days to do so.

“Elder Yun!, Elder Xinyi!”

Heng called out while being ecstatic. He wasn’t alone anymore, he had his sect leader back with him along with two other elders that were at the same middle stage as he was. With them around they would be able to somehow survive through this. While those two were waking up, the sect leader Wuying took this chance to converse with Zhang Dong. The two Patriarchs looked at each other, the older one was a bit reserved while the younger one felt more awkward than anything.

“If what elder Heng says is true, then you have my gratitude Patriarch of the United Element Sect.”

The man clasped his hands and did a little bow. After feeling out Zhang Dong he noticed that the man’s divine aura was far greater than his. This was enough for him, holy energies were a good gauge for character. Someone that was evil and conniving would never be able to cultivate a Dao like that.

“No need to thank me, we just find ourselves against a common enemy. The creature that attacked your sect is an old foe that I had battled before. From what I’ve heard it is much stronger than when I last faced it. Could you disclose any information about your battle to me?”

Wuying was a bit surprised at this but it would make sense for someone with such a divine Dao to hunt demonic beings.

“Anyone that is an enemy of that demonic creature is an ally to this sect, I will tell you what I know but first let us go out!”

The man had been given a replacement robe and the other two elders were already conversing with Fang Heng. He would bring them up to speed while everyone else floated up to see what was happening around the sect grounds.

Wuying was surprised instantly after getting out of the lighthouse underground. The first thing was the increase in the divine might of their tower, it was many times stronger than what he could remember. Then the divine protective barrier was also fully charged and exuding even more power than before.

‘BLAM’

His attention was then pulled to a faraway explosion. In the distance, he could see some kind of strange red demon with horns. It was giving out the fluctuations of a nascent soul beast at the early stage. It was burning up the flying monsters around the city barrier in droves. After further inspection, he realized that it was a soul best and its owner wasn’t far behind.

This man was a bit further away throwing giant plasma covered fist. Each time his punch descended thousands of corrupt beings fell. The only thing that remained was their ashes along with the man’s boisterous laugh.

“Are you done?”

Zhang Liena moved out from the side, she glided towards her husband that was next to Mao Wuying.

“Yes, this is Elder Mao Wuying. He is the Divine Fist Sects Patriarch. There are also two other elders that I managed to heal.”

Liena nodded at the old man that was standing next to her husband while also giving him a formal hand-clasp and bowing combo. After they got acquainted it was time to move out. With so many nascent soul masters out here there was no reason to leave these monsters all up to Qiang.

“Elder Wuying I propose we clear up these demonic beings. We must then attack the creature at its lair before it’s too late. This monster uses the beings it corrupts to further its cultivation realm. If we leave it to its own devices it will swallow up these lands and no one will be able to stop it.”

This was Zhang Dong’s biggest fear. The monster leveled up by absorbing others, it was similar to how his old system worked. If he still had that then the beast wouldn’t pose a problem. He could probably farm all these monsters that it made and strengthen himself further.

This was impossible now, he would need to do it the old fashioned way by cultivating diligently. There was also the option of absorbing vast quantities of spiritual energy and adding that to his cultivation but that process was quite wasteful.

“Yes, I agree.”

Wuying wasn’t fully recovered just yet but he was more than enough to battle these monsters. Three nascent soul masters were added to their little army. All of them soon took off towards the protective barrier to get outside.

Zhang Dong looked around after getting out. The numbers had dwindled slightly but there were still a lot of those monsters around. The mist was getting pushed back by the radiations of the protective array which allowed even the core formation cultivators to move around freely. He could actually see Zhang Liu and Xue apprehending some people that were affected by the strange tentacle slugs.

Various colorful nascent soul ranked attacks descended down on the battlefield. Liena called forth her storm phoenix, Zhang Dong utilized his golden dragon to aid in the fight as well. His soul beast was able to discharge holy lightning passively which caused the mist to vanish wherever it went.

The three nascent soul elders from the Divine Fist Sect were a bit weakened. They couldn’t quite aid by summoning their soul beasts to battle but they could act as backline support. They pelted the monsters with ranged attacks from a safe distance, the beast started to fall like flies.

The monsters had no way of resisting the combined might of six nascent soul experts. Within a day’s time, they had managed to clean up the evil beings. The efforts to heal the affected humans would continue for a while. The most important thing on their agenda was going towards the ruins where the monster slumbered, it was finally time to bring the fight to it.
