Hu Mazi stared in amazement at the direction Yunxiu left: “That servant is truly extraordinary, a ninth level Earth Immortal, right? He is even stronger than the Sixth Palace Master. David, is this Fourth Palace Master reliable?”
David looked at Yunxiu’s retreating figure and said, “At least for now, this is in our favor.”
He looked at Nan Batian and A Cui, his eyes full of regret, “I have dragged you into this matter today.”
Nan Batian waved his hand and gave the last pill to A Cui: “Master Chen, what did you say? You are our benefactor, and it is our duty to protect you. The Evil Path Hall branch is dangerous, so why don’t I come with you?”
Ah Cui nodded and said, “The Information Tower has spies in the Black Wind Mountain Range. I can have them meet you.”
A warm feeling enveloped David’s heart, and he shook his head: “You two have just made up, so take a good rest first. I can handle the matters of the Hall of Evil Path myself.”
“If Mr. Chen needs help, don’t hesitate to ask…” said Nan Batian!
David nodded, and then left with Hu Mazi!
David and his group did not go to the Evil Path Hall branch, because with their current strength, David knew that even if they found the Evil Path Hall branch, they would not be able to save the souls of the Hu clan.
David now needed to increase his strength, and increase it quickly.
However, to increase his strength, David needed to be inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, where the flow of time would allow him to increase his strength in the shortest possible time.
However, David was a bit uncomfortable using the Demon Suppressing Tower in the inn and only relied on Hu Mazi as his protector.
After all, currently many people were targeting him, and it would be troublesome if someone launched a surprise attack while he was practicing cultivation.
So David took Hu Mazi to look for Mo Chen. Since he was now the Sword Sect’s eldest disciple, it was natural for him to stay in Mo Chen’s residence.
David spent his days recuperating at Mo Chen’s residence quietly but meaningfully.
Mo Chen’s residence was located deep in the bamboo forest on the west side of Swordsman City. Inside the courtyard, there was an ancient sword hut that was filled with the scent of swords all year round. In the open space in front of the hut, hundreds of rusty ancient swords were stuck in the ground, forming a unique sword forest.
It was said that these swords were all discarded swords that Mo Chen had collected from the ruins of battlefields or obsolete sects when he traveled around the world in his youth. He said, “A sword can be thrown away, but its intent cannot be broken. Observing discarded swords is like observing the intentions of the swordsmen of the past, and only then can one understand his own path in life.”
Every morning, David practices breathing exercises to heal his wounds in the Forest of Swords.
The pill that Yunxiu left behind was very effective, and the scratches on his back healed in just three days. The evil and cold energy that had invaded his body also slowly disappeared under the loving care of the “Warm Jade Talisman” given to him by Mochen.
What surprised him even more was, thanks to the nourishment of the rich sword essence in the sword forest, the spiritual power within his body flowed more smoothly, and the bottleneck that was originally stuck at the peak of the seventh rank of the Free Immortal Realm showed signs of loosening.
