Back in the Water School, the prone figure of Xiao Qi was ‘meditating’ up high in the air . He hadn’t moved even a single muscle until he felt Bai Yunfei’s immediate presence .
The ones beside him, Murong Xiao and Xiao Binzi, turned to look at the direction was facing just to see two streaks of red light come flying toward them .
It was Bai Yunfei and elder Jin .
“How did it go, Bai Yunfei? How are the others?”
Murong Xiao asked . He was concerned for those of his school .
Hardly any time had passed since Bai Yunfei left to go find Zheng Kai . They all thought that Bai Yunfei was just worried about his friend’s safety and went to make sure he was alright . No one thought that Kou Tingting and the others would be in major trouble .
“My friend is seriously hurt, headmaster Murong . Elder Qu and some of the students from the Wood School are similarly hurt . Please see to their treatment as quickly as you can . ”
Waving his hand, Bai Yunfei summoned all the injured parties out from the Core World for everyone to see .
“What?!”
The school went into a panic at once . Several of the Late-stage Soul Kings from the Water School flew by the injured parties sides at once to begin investigating their wounds .
“What in the world happened?!” Murong Xiao asked .
“It all began after we met with the Wood School . A group was there waiting to ambush us . The Monster of Black Lightning was one of them…”
Elder Qu responded . Most of his wounds were already recovered, so he took it upon himself to be the one to report everything that happened .
……
“What?! There was another group of Soul Kings waiting to ambush us from behind?!”
Everyone was alarmed to hear the story . Just listening to it had some of the audiences break out in cold sweat .
After the story, Murong Xiao took the opportunity to approach Kou Tingting . She was still holding Zheng Kai in her hands, so Murong Xiao took his right hand and checked his pulse . “He’s seriously hurt!” His eyebrows flew to the top of his forehead in surprise . “How in the world did he manage to live through such wounds…”
“Please save my friend, headmaster Murong . I hope he won’t have any lasting conditions after this…”
“Worry not . I will do my best to heal him . ” Murong Xiao nodded in earnest .
He took a second to think of the best plan to treat Zheng Kai . “Elder Zhou,” He turned to a yellow-faced elder, “Take him to the Soul Spring . I’ll treat him personally in a moment . ”
A flicker of shock traveled across the elder’s face, but he nodded . “Yes, headmaster!”
Several others were shocked to hear Murong Xiao, but Kou Tingting seemed overjoyed .
The Soul Spring was a treasured secret of the Water School and only a rumor to those outside of the Water School . Underneath the Water School was a vein of water-type primal stones . After countless years of condensation, the energy of the primal stones turned into a liquid form that gathered in a spring, causing the water there to be equivalent to a heaven-tier pill and could perform miracles almost capable of reviving someone from the dead .
Reviving the dead was an exaggeration, but the actual effects of the Soul Spring couldn’t be underestimated . Zheng Kai would most definitely be able to fully recover if he were to be treated there .
With Kou Tingting being so concerned for Zheng Kai’s health, she was the one to take him into the school where the Soul Spring was . Those from the Wood School were taken elsewhere to recuperate, leaving Bai Yunfei time to investigate other matters .
“Have the enemies been neutralized, headmaster Murong?”
He asked Murong Xiao as they watched the students of the Water School begin to clean up the battlefield .
“We killed those Soul Kings left alive after you left . It is their fate to become earthbound ghosts to roam these lands for eternity!” Murong Xiao spat .
Murong Xiao was furious at those who had dared attack his school, and rightfully so . But even as he spoke, he gave a strange look to Xiao Qi—who was currently perched on Bai Yunfei’s shoulder .
This was because a little while ago, Xiao Qi was the one that had been more excited than the Water School to kill the last few Soul Kings . He was practically ravenous and shouted the entire time to ‘let him kill them all’ . Even those Soul Kings who were about to be killed by people from the Water School were killed first by Xiao Qi as if he was doing them a favor . In the end, the majority of the deaths were by the result of Xiao Qi’s doing .
Some of the Water School members were surprised, but they couldn’t say they didn’t expect it . In the end, soulbeasts were soulbeasts . Their desire to kill were innately stronger than the desire in soul cultivators…
“What will happen to Li Luocang, the one you captured?” Murong Xiao asked .
“There’ll be no problems from him since he’s sealed in the Core World . ” Bai Yunfei smiled, at last there was a name to this Soul Emperor . “Was there anything you wanted to learn from him, headmaster?”
“Not at all . He is at your full discretion . ”
Interrogating a Mid-stage Soul Emperor was close to pointless . A Soul Saint would be needed in order to find whatever information they were hiding, but not even that would come easy .
“Then he will die . ” Bai Yunfei replied .
“……”
Everyone felt a chilling wind blow across their hearts— since when did it become so simple to give the death sentence to a Mid-stage Soul Emperor?
No one stayed here on the battlefield for long . Nothing abnormal could be detected anymore and everyone could finally return to the interior of the school .
…………
……
The afternoon of the second day after the battle .
A room within the main peak of the Water School .
“Headmaster Murong, how is Zheng Kai?”
Bai Yunfei stood up to ask the moment he saw Murong Xiao enter the room .
The other man was fatigued . “There are no complications, so you may rest assured . All he needs is rest . It’s a long period of rest, but he will make a full recovery . ”
It felt as though a giant boulder had been lifted off Bai Yunfei’s shoulders . “Thank you very much, headmaster Murong . ”
“There’s no need for that,” Murong Xiao smiled, “I should be the one thanking you . Had you not come rushing over my school would’ve been in grave danger . Zheng Kai was grievously hurt on our behalf, treating him should be expected . ”
A period of silence descended in the room for a moment before Bai Yunfei decided to leave . He walked to the top of a nearby mountain peak where those from the Crafting School were temporarily residing in .
Nothing of great value was lost to the Water School, but they had plenty of casualties and injuries . It’d take a great amount of time before they could recuperate from that . Thankfully, the losses of their enemies were far greater . It’d be very unlikely that a repeat of this event would happen soon .
The Wind Lightning School had three Soul Emperors and over twenty Soul Kings . The Soul Refining School had a single Soul Emperor and a dozen Soul Kings . There was also the Half-emperor the Monster of Black Lightning along with his group of wandering soul cultivators . All of them were dead .
Since there wasn’t much use for the Mid-stage Soul Emperor from the Wind Lightning School, Bai Yunfei simply had Xiao Qi kill him and be done with it .
All Bai Yunfei had left to do was wait in the Water School until Zheng Kai woke up .
But it appeared the Heavens had no intention of letting Bai Yunfei rest . For when he returned to his room that day, Bai Yunfei found himself meeting with someone that wasn’t supposed to be there…
