Everyone looked at Yan Lie.
Yan Lie’s face turned pale, then he exploded in anger: “Nonsense! What do you mean?! Are you calling me a traitor?! I, Yan Lie, am completely loyal to the Earth Fire Pavilion, how dare you slander me!”
“Sect Leader, please be tactful! I risked my life to protect Little Sister Ling’er and was injured in the process! Chi Yun was clearly trying to sow discord and exonerate himself!”
Huo Ling’er was also surprised.
At that time, he only focused on David and his father and didn’t pay much attention to Yan Lie’s behavior.
Huo Fentian’s gaze deeply looked at Yan Lie, then at the unconscious David, and slowly said, “I will investigate this matter myself. Until the truth is revealed, no one is permitted to leave the Fire Earth Pavilion to conduct an investigation.”
“Yan Lie, go back and recover. Ling’er, stay here and tell me the whole story again.”
“Others, please go back and rest!”
“Yes,” everyone answered.
Yan Lie shot the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord a glare, then turned and left, his eyes filled with hatred.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord carried David on his back and, led by his apprentice, placed him in a quiet room.
After closing the door, the Red Cloud Demon Lord put up a soundproof barrier. Looking at the unconscious David, he sighed, “Kid, you really made a mistake this time. You were seriously injured.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord felt very sorry for David, after all, David had come to the Earth Fire Pavilion for his own sake.
Chi Yun took out several precious healing pills, gave them to David, then used his internal energy to heal him.
David’s injuries were severe: his body was full of holes and his meridians were severed in many places.
Had it not been for his solid foundation and the fact that he had the Golden Dragon bloodline to support him, he would have perished long ago.
David remained unconscious for three days and three nights!
When he slowly opened his eyes, the Red Cloud Demon Lord was still by his side.
“Are you awake?” The Red Cloud Demon King breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that David was awake. “How do you feel?”
David wanted to speak, but felt extreme pain all over his body, his throat was dry, and he couldn’t make a sound.
“Don’t move, you are seriously injured.”
Red Cloud Demon Lord helped him sit down and gave him something to drink. “We have returned to the Earth Fire Pavilion and are safe for now. But”
“Sir, how long have I been unconscious?”
David took a few sips of water then asked.
“It’s been three days and three nights…” said the Red Cloud Demon Lord.
“It’s been that long?” David frowned. “No, we need to leave the Earth Fire Pavilion and find a remote place to recuperate.”
David planned to leave the Fire Earth Pavilion and find a place to recuperate within the Demon Suppressing Tower.
This can save time.
Three days and three nights, which was equivalent to one year in the Demon-Slaying Tower.
His wounds had long since healed.
However, in the real world, David would need at least several months to recover!
“We can’t leave. The Earthfire Pavilion Master said that no one should leave the Earthfire Pavilion until the traitor is found.”
The Red Cloud Demon Lord revealed that Huo Fentian suspected an internal traitor!
David frowned slightly and nodded: “Very strange indeed. How does the Evil Path Hall know where we will retreat from after picking the Fire Spirit Grass?”
“If the two of us leave now, it will only make us look guilty. Even if we are not traitors, we will be,” said the Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord helplessly.
David was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Feeling his immortal power nearly depleted and meridians shattering, he smiled bitterly and said, “If I stay in the Earth Fire Pavilion, my injuries probably won’t heal in a few months.”
“Several months?”
Red Cloud Demon Lord frowned. “The Evil Path Hall won’t give us much time. Although the Blood Soul Elder is seriously injured, the Evil Path Hall is very strong, and stronger people will soon come to hunt us down.”
“I know.”
David’s eyes were deep. “So we have to find a way to recover as quickly as possible.”
While the two were talking, they heard light footsteps outside the door.
