“My god, my injuries… they’re completely gone.”

Feiyu suddenly felt dizzy. No one knew his own condition better than he did. With ordinary healing pills and rest, he’d need at least ten days. Yet the qi Long Wuxian had poured into him let him stand up within minutes, full of life again, his strength completely restored.

This was something magical, practically a miracle. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes—and on his own body—no one could’ve beaten the belief into him.

Feiyu wasn’t the only one shocked. Everyone in the room had their mouths hanging open in horror, staring at Feiyu in disbelief, then all their gazes shifted to Long Wuxian.

Just what kind of heaven-defying healing art was this?!

Not only was his own power overwhelming, he also had a healing method this insane. To think such a heaven‑defying existence could walk under the sky… this guy was basically the reincarnation of the ruler of the Six Realms!

In truth, though Feiyu and the others were badly wounded, their souls hadn’t been harmed. For Long Wuxian, these were just flesh wounds. His qi commanded all elements, to the point it could reach the realm of bringing the dead back to life someday… of course, he wasn’t there yet. He’d at least have to reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm first.

As long as the soul wasn’t injured, any wound could be restored in no time under his qi’s repair.

After healing Feiyu, Long Wuxian walked over to Feihe’s bedside.

No surprise there either. After a few minutes, Feihe, who’d been lying on the bed unable to move, hopped off just like Feiyu, full of energy again.

Then Long Wuxian healed the others one by one. From the moment he entered the room to the end, not even ten minutes had passed before everyone’s injuries were completely gone.

Over a dozen people were crowded into the room. With Feiyu and the others all recovered, it should’ve been a lively, noisy scene. Instead, it was dead silent. More than a dozen bright eyes stared unblinkingly at Long Wuxian standing in the center, like they were looking at a monster, their hearts filled with endless curiosity.

“Heh, is my face really that good‑looking?”

Long Wuxian said helplessly. All those stunned stares did make him feel a little awkward.

“Haha…”

As soon as he cracked the joke, everyone burst into laughter. No matter how ruthless and cold he was toward his enemies, in front of them he was just a witty, sunshine‑bright teenager.

“Senior Brother Long, your methods are too heaven‑defying. We were so badly hurt, yet we’re fully healed in just a few minutes. It’s unreal.”

“Yeah, this is a straight‑up miracle. If it hadn’t happened to us personally, there’s no way we’d believe it.”

“Anyway, this time we mainly have to thank Senior Brother Long for standing up for us and then healing us. We’ll remember this debt. From now on, whatever you need, we’ll never refuse.”

Their worship of Long Wuxian had already gone off the charts, bordering on blind devotion.

Especially the disciples who’d been injured. Their hearts were overflowing with gratitude. A lot of them had been bullied in the outer sect for a long time, but always swallowed their anger. Until today. Only now did they finally straighten their backs. They believed that after this incident, no one would dare bully them for no reason again.

“But Senior Brother Long, you taught Bei Yuxin a lesson and even ordered them to apologize on the plaza in three days. That’s definitely going to draw Senior Brother Luo from the inner sect’s attention. If Senior Brother Luo steps in, it’ll be really bad for you.”

Feiyu frowned.

“Yeah, Senior Brother, I think you should just forget the apology. You already taught Bei Yuxin a lesson. That’s enough.”

Feihe chimed in.

“Heh! You think if we don’t make them apologize, that Luo senior won’t step in? Since I’m bound to clash with Tian Jian anyway, why not act tougher? Besides, just an inner‑sect disciple. I don’t care.”

Long Wuxian spoke with total indifference.

“Senior Brother Long, you can’t take this lightly. Tian Jian is late Immortal Emperor realm. More importantly, Bei Luoyu’s older brother is an elder of the sect, already at the Immortal Emperor bottleneck, and has a high status in the School of Chi. Not only that, Bei Yuxin and Bei Luoyu’s father is the lord of Wind and Snow City, a Holy Emperor realm powerhouse. Going against them is a very unwise move.”

Feixue also frowned, worry filling her voice.

“Oh? That so?”

Long Wuxian just let out a flat “oh,” as if the strength of Bei Yuxin’s backing wasn’t outside his expectations at all.

In fact, he didn’t care in the slightest. It was just a Holy Emperor expert. It wasn’t like he’d never met one. He didn’t like looking for trouble, but if trouble came looking for him, he would never turn it away.

No matter how powerful the enemy, Long Wuxian wouldn’t feel the slightest fear.

On the contrary, the stronger the enemy, the higher he set the bar for breaking his own bottlenecks.

“You all just recovered. Get some good rest. Leave everything else to me.”

With that, Long Wuxian turned and walked away.

What was coming next had nothing to do with Feiyu and the others. It was all Long Wuxian’s own business now.

“This senior brother fears neither heaven nor earth.”

“Do you even need to say that? He doesn’t even put Yu Tianlong in his eyes and dares sign a six‑month battle pact with him. Who else could possibly scare a guy like that?”

“I kinda feel like if Bei Luoyu insists on causing trouble for Senior Brother, the result… tsk, it won’t end well for him either, will it?”

They sighed among themselves. In their hearts, they all shared the same thought: now that Long Wuxian had arrived, the School of Chi probably wouldn’t know peace ever again.

Evening, at the place where Bei Yuxin lived.

The whole courtyard was packed with dozens of people. As the number one expert of the outer sect, Bei Yuxin naturally had a lot of followers. Now that their big sister was injured, of course they’d all gather here.

But the current mood was heavy. The ones Long Wuxian had slapped across the face all looked awful. Bei Yuxin herself had calmed down a bit—her cultivation was strong, and with high‑grade healing pills, her superficial wounds weren’t a big deal.

But the humiliation she’d suffered at Long Wuxian’s hands was something she absolutely couldn’t swallow.

“I have to get this breath of anger out.”

Bei Yuxin bit her red lips and spoke, her words slightly muffled.

“When’s Sister Luoyu getting here?”

She turned to the woman beside her and asked.

“Someone’s already gone to inform her. She should be here any minute now.”

The female disciple replied.

Just as she finished speaking, five figures appeared at the courtyard gate. One of them was an outer‑sect disciple with mid‑late Immortal Emperor cultivation—probably the one who’d gone to the inner sect to report earlier. The other three were all late Immortal Emperor experts.

That level of cultivation spoke for itself—their status was inner‑sect disciples.

“I don’t care about anything else!”

Tian Chi ignored the furious Xuan Ming. His eyes locked onto Long Wuxian again. “Long Wuxian, this is both punishment and a mission. Do you dare take it?”

In an instant, Long Wuxian became the center of attention again. Countless eyes fell on him, watching to see if he would accept this nine‑deaths‑one‑life mission.

Never mind actually obtaining the Holy Emperor’s Demon Stone. With Long Wuxian’s current cultivation, just entering the forbidden zone alone was already a trip with almost no chance of survival.

Within the forbidden zone of Saint Demon Mountain, Holy Emperor‑level phantom spirit demon gods roamed everywhere. Even peak Immortal Emperor demon gods appeared frequently. Anyone not strong enough would be torn apart by other demon gods long before they reached the cave estate.

“I accept.”

Long Wuxian answered loudly, without the slightest hesitation.

There was nothing in this world he didn’t dare to do. Besides, after restoring the Sea‑Calming Divine Pearl and leaving seclusion this time, he’d already planned to train in Saint Demon Mountain.

He also knew Tian Chi wasn’t really trying to punish him. The man wanted to see if he had the guts. From the depths of Tian Chi’s eyes, he’d caught a trace of trust—that was the confidence a sect master had in him. Even for a mission as brutal as heading to the Spirit Emperor’s ruins, Tian Chi believed Long Wuxian could pull it off.

Or rather, Tian Chi was making a bet. In his heart, he hoped Long Wuxian would grow as fast as possible, and close the gap between himself and Yu Tianlong.

True growth had to be forged facing overwhelming hardship, even life and death.

Long Wuxian clearly saw it—the moment he said “I accept,” satisfaction and appreciation flashed in the depths of Tian Chi’s eyes.

“Brother Wuxian, do you even know what you’re doing? Taking on a mission like this is marching to your death.”

Elder Fengshen stomped his feet anxiously. This was exactly what he’d been afraid of—that Long Wuxian, caught up in the heat of the moment, would agree. And sure enough, the guy had.

“Elder Feng, I know what I’m doing.” Long Wuxian smiled at him.

He had his reasons for accepting. There was no place in this world Long Wuxian didn’t dare to go.

Besides, he didn’t want the sect master to look down on him.

On top of that, he’d already wanted to go train in Saint Demon Mountain.

And the Holy Emperor’s Demon Stone had huge appeal for him. That thing could increase an Immortal Emperor’s chance of stepping into the Holy Emperor realm. As long as he got the Holy Emperor’s Demon Stone, within half a year Long Wuxian could break through to Holy Emperor!

After that, once he reached Holy Emperor, he could use this Sea‑Calming Divine Pearl to search for the other five.

Sigh. But even this one, he’d gotten through sheer dumb luck. If not for the connection between the Sea‑Calming Divine Pearls, he might have spent tens of thousands of years searching without finding a single one.

“Good. Pack up, you set out tomorrow.”

Tian Chi said flatly, then his figure blurred and vanished into the air.

Long Wuxian had caused a huge ruckus in the inner sect and even killed Xiu Er. In the end, things were wrapped up this way. As his older sister, Xiu Xu was obviously very satisfied. Almost everyone thought Long Wuxian was doomed this time, destined to die under a swarm of demon gods.

In Elder Fengshen’s courtyard, Long Wuxian just picked a big tree at random and fell fast asleep. Yunxiang was sprawled beside him, snoring away. These two carefree idiots seemed incapable of letting anything affect their ability to sleep.

Elder Fengshen, however, was pacing back and forth, completely worked up.

“Elder Feng, please stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy.”

Long Wuxian said irritably.

“No. I’m taking you to the sect master and having him take back his order. Going there is no different from going to die. I’m sure the sect master doesn’t want the sect to lose a genius like you.”

Elder Fengshen stared at Long Wuxian as he spoke. From the look of it, he wasn’t going to give up until he dragged Long Wuxian to the School of Chi’s main hall to plead with the sect master.
