Immortal fire was effective, and to Wu Yu, this was news so good, he could scarcely believe it .
His jumbled emotions had finally settled down into a calmer state .
"Big Brother, what is that you're using? My tummy's nice and warm . " In her groggy state, Nangong Wei opened her eyes to look weakly at Wu Yu .
"Wei Er, don't worry . I've found a way to save you . Just hold on, and don't be afraid . " Wu Yu said softly to her . The immortal fire in his hand never stopped .
Hearing this, Nangong Wei gave a faint smile and said contentedly . "Wei Er knew that Big Brother would have a way . Big Brother never goes wrong . "
He had to try his hardest to help her tide through this . But the ancient battlefield was not the best place to expel poisons . And with so many people watching, who knew which of them had bad intentions!
Wu Yu immediately mounted his sword, hugging Nangong Wei close . He flew on his sword through the ancient battlefield, quickly finding an exit and leaving it behind . This time round, he had gained much . A pity that he had to put Nangong Wei through so much hardship .
While Wu Yu flew past, all the Cloudy Palace people under Huang Feiyun roared with laughter .
A martial cultivator who resembled Huang Lingyun said, "Father is wise . Although only one of them lost their life, at least vengeance for Younger Brother has been exacted . "
Huang Feiyun's smile faded . "Don't talk rubbish . I've never seen a Corpse Flower before . How would I know that it was difficult to deal with? This has nothing to do with me . Don't let others hear you . "
The man nodded, saying . "Father, please do not worry . I know how to deal with this . As for Lingyun, he can only blame his own luck . "
Huang Feiyun shook his head . "He was too rash . Didn't even clear it with me . He deserved to die . "

As Wu Yu flew, he used his immortal fire to scour Nangong Wei while he searched for a place to hide .
He did not need any rich and bountiful land - just a place where he would not be disturbed .
Nangong Wei was suffering greatly, and Wu Yu just wanted her to heal as quickly as possible . After about an hour, he saw a pristine lake . It was deep, and Wu Yu used the Unorthodox Arts to create a transparent bubble three zhang in diameter around him and Nangong Wei . And then he sank into the bottom of the lake . With the lake water obscuring vision, ordinary martial cultivators that flew past would not notice anything out of the ordinary .
Sinking down, all was quiet around them, except for the lapping of the lake . Above them, the sunlight filtered down, creating a marvelous illumination . As Nangong Wei opened her eyes, she asked . "Big Brother, where is this?"
"The bottom of a lake . " Wu Yu held her close to his chest, her back towards him . The two sat cross-legged as he said to her . "I can use my immortal fire to purge the poisons from your body, but it might take some time . You must have patience, and not give up . Alright?"
After all, her own immortal fire was not as special as his . It could not expel the poison on its own, so she had to depend on Wu Yu .
"Alright, Wei Er is not afraid . Big Brother is here . " Nangong Wei smiled slightly, her eyes steady .
Wu Yu said no more . Now that he had found a quiet place, he poured on his immortal fire powerfully, the white immortal fire streaming forth from his body . He still could not control the fire perfectly for now, and the immortal fire could not be placed directly on Nangong Wei's snow-white skin, or he might risk burning her to death . He had to maintain a safe distance .
At the same time, Wu Yu had pulled out all his regenerative, strengthening, and healing immortal medicines for Nangong Wei to use .
The immortal fire traveled upwards from his Jindan, following his body's channels until it left the body . Because Wu Yu could not control it fully, the immortal fire burnt his clothes clean off where it emitted from his body .
But for now, saving her life was the crucial point here . He closed his eyes, unable to care too much about this .
Naturally, Nangong Wei's own clothes were also burnt away cleanly by the fire, exposing her pubescent figure . Womanliness was starting to show underneath, and this beauty-to-be would be world-class in another two years . Even though she was just 14 years old, everything was just right in the right places, and she was an attractive enough figure as she was .
The white immortal fire circled both her and Wu Yu's bodies, so even though their clothes were burnt off, they could not see each other .

As the immortal fire circle grew in strength, the poison fled from its natural enemy . From its spread throughout Nangong Wei's body, it quickly contracted . Where it was slow to recede, the immortal fire burnt it away .
Caged by the immortal fire, Nangong Wei felt extremely warm . The regenerative immortal medicines within her body were starting to take effect as well . As time passed by, she felt the discomfort lessen, and her alertness returned .
Once she realized that she was completely naked, her dull face flushed bright red . For a young woman who had just begun to feel the pangs of love, her heart raced . She did not dare to look back, because she knew that Wu Yu was most likely in the same state .
"Focus," Wu Yu warned .
"Hmph!" Nangong Wei stuck out her little tongue, the light already returning to her eyes .
She could feel that the demonic poison was running around her body and being destroyed, no longer tearing at her like before . Her body was slightly injured, but the recuperative medicines and her own natural strength combined to speed her recovery along .
Nangong Wei had found her own Sumeru Pouch and retrieved a few immortal medicines . Hers were much stronger than Wu Yu's, although she had nothing that directly counteracted the Corpse Flower . She used these now, and Wu Yu realized that the damage caused by the Corpse Flower's toxins were healing at a visible rate .
In less than an hour, her flesh had returned to its pert and round form, her complexion as fair as fresh fallen snow .
Color had returned to her face as well, her eyes gleaming .
At this time, although much of the poison still remained within her body, she was already out of danger . Chased down by the immortal fire, it was powerless to affect her .
Because of their naked bodies pressed against each other, her heart was racing, and her face beet-red . The process felt like an eternity .
But Wu Yu had no choice . The poison ran everywhere, and the immortal fire had to follow, until it was destroyed by fire . And that meant the clothes had to go too .
A long, long process .
After about half a day, Wu Yu was extremely fatigued . His Jindan grew dull . Whether using Jindan essence or immortal fire, it drained one's Jindan .

He reached into Huang Lingyun's Sumeru Pouch and retrieved a Golden Essence Pill . He consumed it as he continued to call forth the immortal fire .
Nangong Wei did not dare to look at him, but she knew that he had to be tired . A little heart-sore, she said, "Big Brother, how about you rest for a while? Wei Er is fine . "
"No way . If I stop, the remaining poison will still run rampant, and you will feel horrible," Wu Yu said .
"A little discomfort . It's nothing . Rest, Big Brother . " Nangong Wei's voice trembled a little . Perhaps even speaking to Wu Yu was making her nervous now .
"Focus . Don't speak," Wu Yu said .
He felt responsible for this, and so he could not stop . He had to carry on even if he was tired .
Nangong Wei was a little disconcerted . The warmth enveloping her body melted her heart . She would remember her time at the bottom of this lake for the rest of her life .
Each breath was a nervous skip of her heart .
At their proximity, she could even hear each and every breath that Wu Yu took .
Continuing thus, Wu Yu continued to consume Golden Essence Pills to fend off his fatigue . This process took a full three days and three nights . Nangong Wei could clearly feel that the Corpse Flower's poison was lessening within her body, until it was completely gone .
After they were done, Wu Yu's voice said from beside her ear, "Close your eyes and put on your clothes . "
"Hmph! I wouldn't look at you . " Although Nangong Wei's eyes were shut, her lips were turned up . She was super happy on the inside .
From her Sumeru Pouch, she chose her prettiest skirt and quickly donned it . Done with her adjustments, she saw that Wu Yu was already properly dressed, his back to her .
"Big Brother, all done . " Nangong Wei was still a little nervous . After this incident, Wu Yu now held a very important place in her heart .
Only now did Wu Yu breathe a sigh of relief . He turned around to see her dressed charmingly . He could not resist looking a few more times . Especially her smile, full of life . It was wonderful that such a girl had not died before her time .
But after holding out for a few days, he was extremely fatigued .
"I'll rest for a while . You can play by yourself, but don't go too far . You hear me?" Wu Yu told her . At this time, he was already completely spent .
"Mm, mm!" Nangong Wei nodded fervently . She was going nowhere .
Wu Yu sat in the lotus position and began to recuperate . His recovery took at least three days . Three days later, he was finally fully recovered . Seeing Nangong jumping up and down vigorously, he knew that the ancient battlefield affair was finally over, and that they had come out with great rewards .
"Let's split our booty!" Wu Yu was in good cheer . Still at the bottom of the lake, the two took out Huang Lingyun's Sumeru Pouch .
But first Wu Yu said, "Wei Er, you found the Soul Devourer Talisman first, but I have great need of the remaining one . " Before he finished speaking, Nangong Wei said, "Big Brother, you saved Wei Er's life this time . I don't want anything else, except to be able to adventure with Big Brother in the future . That will make Wei Er very happy . "
In her bones, she was still excited to explore the vast world .
Wu Yu shook his head . He had his rules . "That won't do . What's yours is yours . We are a team, and I can't have it all for myself . "
He regarded the Soul Devourer Talisman as the best reward . They had left for three months, but they would have to go back . And the Soul Devourer Talisman was his courage . The moment Zhang Futu laid a hand on him, he would not care about the sin of killing one's master . He would send Zhang Futu on to the next world .
He guessed that Huang Lingyun was about as powerful as Zhang Futu .
And then he would clean out all that Zhang Futu had .
Wu Yu carried virtually all his possessions with him, but that was not the case for everyone . In order to guard against theft, they would put some valuables within the sect's vault, under the sect's guard . That was safer .
Opening the Sumeru Pouch, Wu Yu realized this .
