Huang Lu felt a shell of Qi envelop his body. It was so freaking painful! But the main character was surrounded by heavenly plot armor, and as such, he may be heavily injured, but he will not die!

Still, the single hit from someone in the fifth realm was just too much!

"Not today, Half Star." At that moment, the battlefield was joined by the Sect Master of the Wildblood Sect, and also the Elders of the Godspear Sect. The reinforcement has arrived! "Go back to where you half-stars came from."

Huang Lu was so drowsy and the pain was so overwhelming he couldn't pay attention to the heavenly battle above him. Both the lead Elder and the Sect Master was also in the 5th realm, and they were more than a match for the 5th Realm Half Star Demon Cultivators. Together, with the other 4th realm elders, they crushed the Half Star Cultivator.

The two ladies ran to Huang Lu, and Xue Xinling immediately started to tend to his wounds.

The Sect Master and the Lead Elder of the Godspear Sect landed next to him.

"A fine man to stand up to the Demons, he will be fine." The Sect Master checked, and withdrew a small red vial. "This should replenish his blood and energy."

[You've consumed the Wild Blood Condensed Essence - Normal Qi is conflicting with Heavenly Qi! Your healing has been slowed as a result!]

Huang Lu's body convulsed and the bleeding got worse. Slightly. He felt himself lose consciousness, and he slept.

"Eh?" The Sect Master stared, dumbfounded.

Xue Xinling shook her head as both ladies tried to clean up the wounds with fresh pieces of cloth. Both their dresses were red and bloody. Toh Gen then walked over. "Huang Lu cultivates a special kind of method. Normal vials do not work for him."

Both ladies stared at Toh Gen and wondered how he knew. Of course, Toh Gen actually has the ability to listen to whispers carried by the wind, so he's actually pretty overpowered like that. The Sect Master and the Elders asked. "Then what does?"

"Pray to the heavens and beg for their assistance." Toh Gen answered frankly.

"Pray?"

"Yes." Toh Gen said.

The Master laughed. "That's not something I expect from a cultivator. Do we not seek to defy heaven?"

Toh Gen smirked. "That's why Huang Lu's different. I think he needs rest, I believe the heavens are on his side and he will recover with time."

Once they cleaned up the visible wounds, a few disciples of the Wild Blood Sect helped carry Huang Lu back to their sect, and readied a clean room for him to recover.

Zhan Yuanfang and Xue Xinling were next to him, and the two ladies cleaned his body of his injuries. Toh Gen was in the same room, and he helped them clean the blood-stained cloth.

"Lucky man, to have two angels caring for him." The Sect Master said as he watched the two ladies at work.

Toh Gen nodded. "Oh trust me, it's the girls that are lucky."

The two ladies glared at Toh Gen, and he immediately looked away. Xue Xinling looked around. "We need to change his pants."

The Sect Master got the message and left the room. Huang Lu's pants was entirely covered in his own blood, and the two ladies waited. Toh Gen was there too, and they helped to pull his pants off.

That was when Toh Gen saw Huang Lu's veiny black dragon for the first time, and he gawked. "Oh dear." The girls both clearly stared at it for a good two to three seconds, and Yuanfang immediately shook her head. "We should dress him up quickly."

"Ah yes."

After Huang Lu was dressed in clean clothes, the three took a rest. Toh Gen couldn't help but tease them. "I can see why you two love him so much. With a monster like that-"

Zhan Yuanfang blushed like a potato, and immediately stopped him. "Brother Toh Gen, let's not speak of vulgar things."

Toh Gen smirked at his fellow sect-mate. "Oh come on. Was it good?"

Zhan Yuanfang couldn't answer.

"Your silence tells me everything." Toh Gen laughed.

"You are such a foul man sometimes." Zhan Yuanfang responded. "I can see why Elder Yi wants to send you away to be someone's husband."

"Hey." Toh Gen feigned a look of pain. "I'm a nice guy!"

"Terrible." Zhan Yuanfang said. "To think you were going to get promoted to a core disciple."

"Eh, that's pot calling the kettle black! Look at the degenerate young woman who left the Eastern Wind Sect to travel with a man she just met. Not just that, she even engaged in intimacy within days of meeting him." Toh Gen smirked. "What happened to the Silent Wind? The quiet role model student of the Eastern Wind Sect?"

Zhan Yuanfang fell silent. He had a point.

Xue Xinling decided she had enough of the conversation and thought out loud.. "Maybe we should try praying for assistance. Maybe that'll help!"
