Chapter 74: The Heavenly Maiden Bestows Sweet Dew

Su Xiaoyu had nothing going on that day; besides cultivating, it was just more cultivating.

She occasionally used Heavenly Vision to check on Li Ru’s situation. She learned that Li Ru was already packing his luggage in preparation to go out, but besides that, he showed no other actions.

Time soon came to evening.

At this point, Su Xiaoyu sensed something happening inside the diorama box. Because she cultivated right next to it, she could notice if anything caused a slightly larger commotion inside.

Su Xiaoyu stopped cultivating and placed her gaze into the diorama box.

In the northern direction of the box, one figure after another was flying back towards Magpie Mountain in a wretched state. Everyone was stained with blood, their faces pale. One look was enough to tell they had suffered serious injuries.

These people were precisely the cultivators of the Blazing Heaven Sect!

“Huh?”

Su Xiaoyu was slightly surprised.

She knew that the Blazing Heaven Sect group, led by Xiao Hongyi, had gone deep into Magpie Mountain to search for traces of evil cultivators. Now they returned so miserably. Had they truly found traces of evil cultivators? And they weren’t a match for them?

She looked behind Xiao Hongyi and the others but didn’t see anyone giving chase.

Although no one was chasing them, the injuries on Xiao Hongyi and the others still looked very serious. Even though they had taken some healing elixir pills, they didn’t seem to be recovering quickly. A few people almost plummeted from the sky while flying, and only kept going because others nearby lent a hand.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoyu opened the cabinet beside her and took out a wound spray.

Wound spray could be applied directly to injuries to stop bleeding, relieve pain, and heal.

Of course, that was its effect in the outside world. Su Xiaoyu couldn’t say what its effect would be inside the diorama box.

She held the wound spray and observed the situation inside the box. Soon, she found an injured rabbit in the mountains. The wild rabbit had a limp when it moved, though it was unclear how it got hurt.

After casting Water Concealment Art on herself, Su Xiaoyu took the wound spray, extended her hand into the diorama box, and gave the wild rabbit a light spray.

With her action, a large cloud of fine mist directly enveloped the rabbit.

Although in Su Xiaoyu’s view, one light press produced very little spray, inside the diorama box, it was akin to a sudden torrential downpour falling onto one’s head. The wild rabbit was so frightened it bolted, fleeing deep into the mountain forest.

“It’s healed? No more limping?”

Su Xiaoyu watched and couldn’t help but laugh.

She observed the wild rabbit for another moment. Seeing that the rabbit was indeed fine, she finally felt relieved.

At this moment, Xiao Hongyi and the others had just flown back to Golden Dragon Market.

Golden Dragon Market.

As a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs flew in together, people inside the market looked up, their eyes invariably filled with shock.

“Those… those are the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Blazing Heaven Sect, right?”

“Those who can fly inside Golden Dragon Market are naturally all Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”

“Hiss, what’s happened to them? Why do they look so badly injured? What happened?”

“Before, when they dealt with the Cloud Net Sect, even though they completely annihilated them, they didn’t pay such a price.”

“Unbelievable!”

Everyone who noticed Xiao Hongyi and the others couldn’t help but walk to open areas, looking up curiously, wanting to know what on earth had happened.

Seeing even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs collectively injured stirred a sense of urgency in many people within the market, making them worry about their own safety.

Golden Dragon, who was teaching formation knowledge to Qixi Festival Sect disciples at her residence, also discovered Xiao Hongyi and the others. She immediately soared into the air from her residence, flying before them.

“What happened?”

Golden Dragon’s gaze shifted, her expression turning somewhat solemn.

Xiao Hongyi exhaled deeply and said, “We encountered some evil cultivators. We weren’t a match, and almost didn’t make it back.”

Golden Dragon’s heart sank.

To injure all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Blazing Heaven Sect to this degree, the evil cultivators deep in Magpie Mountain were clearly not simple. She didn’t know why they hadn’t pursued, but this level of threat was enough to warrant vigilance.

Thankfully, the Blazing Heaven Sect group had suffered no losses; that was the only comfort.

Golden Dragon’s gaze swept over the group. “Let’s get treatment first.”

Xiao Hongyi nodded. She followed Golden Dragon to Golden Dragon’s residence, landing in the square.

Once on the ground, several Nascent Soul True Monarchs nearly collapsed, their legs weak. They looked quite depleted.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyi sighed and said, “The Bliss Sect’s techniques are treacherous, unpredictable, and incredibly vicious. Our wounds are extremely difficult to heal. Based on current estimates, full recovery could take months, perhaps even years.”

Golden Dragon’s expression changed. “That long?”

Xiao Hongyi said helplessly, “We’ve already taken our best elixir pills, but it’s still like this.”

Golden Dragon was speechless.

She wondered if she could contact the Alkaid Alliance for some better elixir pills. But going back and forth would take time. Would the evil cultivators give them time?

From Xiao Hongyi’s words, the evil cultivators they encountered were from the Bliss Sect. Even though that group hadn’t pursued Xiao Hongyi and the others earlier, who knew if they would attack Golden Dragon Market next? After all, their main combat strength—the Blazing Heaven Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarchs led by Xiao Hongyi—were all heavily injured. It was a prime opportunity.

Thinking this, the pressure on Golden Dragon suddenly became immense.

She intended to discuss this issue thoroughly with Xiao Hongyi to devise a reliable solution. But before she could speak, she sensed the sky above grow dark.

Golden Dragon and Xiao Hongyi both looked up and saw a massive cloud layer with a dark silhouette behind it. Although they couldn’t clearly see the silhouette behind the clouds, they didn’t need to guess; they knew it was the Heavenly Maiden.

“We pay respects to the Heavenly Maiden!”

Golden Dragon and Xiao Hongyi quickly knelt.

The others around them also knelt.

Even the people within Golden Dragon Market knelt down one after another. The entire scene was exceptionally grand.

Su Xiaoyu watched this scene, speechless.

She hadn’t even intended to reveal herself, but she hadn’t used the Water Concealment Art. She never expected it would cause such a huge commotion. Still, seeing thousands kneel because of her appearance, she couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation in her heart.

Many people chased power precisely to see others bow their heads before them. And now, what others sought after was already easily within her grasp.

Without dwelling on it, she took the wound spray. Under the cover of the clouds, the wound spray itself wasn’t revealed. Like this, she used it on the injured Xiao Hongyi and the others below.

The fine mist thus sprinkled down from the sky. To Xiao Hongyi and the others, it was like a heavy rain, completely covering them.
