Chapter 818: 818

The young maiden was very curious . Why was there a person lying in the wilderness of this primeval forest? Was he dead?

 Thinking about this, the young maiden firstly gave herself a scare . The image of a victim being killed in the wilderness and their corpse being disposed of in the forest immediately surfaced in her mind .

 The steps she took as she walked over subconsciously slowed down . Encountering a dead person was still very terrifying for a young maiden .

 “Su Wan’er, what are you looking at? Quickly search that side of the mountain . If we cannot finish the task today, we will be punished,” a woman that was older than Su Wan’er said forcefully as she stood beside Su Wan’er .

 Why was Su Wan’er so clumsy? They had come to gather medicinal herbs, but Su Wan’er seemed as though she was here for sightseeing . What was there to see in a rundown forest?

 “Sister Yuting, there seems… seems to be a dead person there…” Su Wan’er said as she pointed her finger in the direction of the forest, clenching her clothes with her little hand . From where she stood, she could see the person lying there .

 “What? A dead person?”

 The woman called Sister Yuting also felt scared . There was not a village in sight, and aside from them, there was not a soul within a radius of a hundred kilometers . Apart from the few medicinal herb gathering disciples, no one would come here at all . Why was there a dead person in the forest?

 Yang Yuting followed Su Wan’er’s gaze She discovered that there was a person lying motionless on the ground .

 “Let’s check it out . ” Yang Yuting was much older, so she was naturally braver . She walked over straight away . Su Wan’er was curious, so she followed Yang Yuting .

 The other medicinal herb gathering disciples saw the strange movements of these two . After hearing that there was a “dead person” lying over there, they also walked over curiously .

 Very quickly, five disciples walked over to the person lying on the ground .

 From a glance at the clothes that the person was wearing, they could see that he was not a member of their ancient martial arts sects . Usually, people belonging to the ancient martial arts sects mostly wore the sect uniform . The sects’ uniforms were essentially retro type clothes . Even if some people had many different sets of clothing, they would very rarely wear them out .

 “He is not from the mountains . He was most likely killed and his corpse disposed of here,” a slightly older male disciple with a full beard said . When the ancient martial art practitioners encountered people from the outside, they would usually refer to themselves as mountain folk . Another meaning of mountain folk referred to the ancient martial art practitioners that practiced deep in the mountains .

 “This person is quite young, roughly in his early twenties . He is so young . Why was he killed?” Yang Yuting said somewhat sympathetically . A youth of this age would probably be a child in a family outside .

 She had a complete family back when she was ten . Her entire family treated her like a princess . Soon after this time, calamity struck and she became an orphan . After that, fate led her to enter her sect, and she began to practice ancient martial arts .

 “Let’s go! What’s so interesting about a dead person?” The full-bearded man waved his hand . He turned and prepared to leave .

 “Wait a minute . It seems that he is still breathing . ” Su Wan’er, who had been constantly watching the “corpse” curiously, suddenly noticed that something was off . The person was actually still breathing faintly . Out of all of them, she was the most cautious, and at the same time, she had a very sharp sensory ability . Although the breathing was so faint that it could barely be heard, it could not escape her eyes .

 “He is still breathing? Impossible!” a youth that was slightly older than Su Wan’er said in astonishment . How was he not dead after being so badly injured?

 “He really isn’t dead . I can feel his heartbeat . ” Su Wan’er took a step forward . After discovering that it was not a dead person, she was no longer afraid . Walking up to the person, she placed her hand on his chest . Although it was very slow, his heartbeat was still strong .

 The person that she was looking down at was Mo Wen who had fallen into the forest .

 Although he had killed the black-robed vampire, his wounds were pretty severe . Also, the most frightening injuries had been caused by the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear . The recoil of the destructive lightning would most likely have turned him straight into dust and smoke if his body was not strong enough .

 Upon hearing this, the others were immediately astonished . He was not dead, even in such a condition . He was very lucky .

 The person’s clothes were in tatters and there were bloodstains everywhere . There was a pool of blood on his chest that had drenched his clothes . With him lying on the ground motionless, anyone would think he was dead at first glance .

 “I think he still can be saved . ” Su Wan’er checked Mo Wen’s pulse and discovered that although his injuries were very severe, his pulse was still very stable . He did not seem like a dying person . Her face lit up .

 “Saved? Even if he is not dead now, he will soon be . Even if he does not starve to death in this wilderness, he will be eaten by the jackals . ” The full-bearded man shook his head and said, “Let’s go . Leave him alone . We have not completed today’s task yet . ”

 “How can we just leave him here? If we don’t save him, he will really die . ” Su Wan’er was somewhat anxious . Kindhearted as she was, she did not wish to see a life lost when she had the ability to save it . She would feel very guilty about it .

 “Sect junior sister Wan’er, you aren’t thinking about bringing him back to the sect, are you?” The full-bearded man was shocked as he glared angrily at Su Wan’er . He understood the character of this sect junior sister Wan’er too well . She would certainly do such a thing . But how could they bring such a person back to the sect? The seniors in the sect would certainly disapprove .

 “Yes . If we bring him back to the sect, maybe he can be saved . ” Su Wan’er nodded her head . She did not notice that her sect senior brother’s tone was off . She believed that bringing a dying person back to the sect for treatment was what they were supposed to do .

 “You…” The full-bearded man was extremely angry . Su Wan’er really could not read the mood .

 “Sect junior sister, this person is no relation to us whatsoever . Why do we need to save him? We still have a task to complete . Bringing him along will be a burden . Do you want to be punished again for not completing your task?” another youth said, aiming to remind her of her obligations .

 Bringing this person back to the sect was certainly not wise behavior . Their Five Tigers Sect was not a charity . How could they simply bring people back?

 “Sect senior brother, saving a life is greater than building a seven-story pagoda . How can you all walk away and do nothing?” Su Wan’er said in objection . Since they had encountered such an incident, they had no reason not to save this person .

 “Sect junior sister Wan’er, don’t be mischievous . Listen to your sect senior brother on this matter . There are no benefits in saving him,” the full-bearded man said nicely as he suppressed his temper . This sect junior sister was incredibly naive . She had not even considered whether this person was good or bad, and she wanted to risk saving him .

 “No, sect senior brother . I feel that him encountering us is fate . Maybe the heavens are asking us to save him . I know that goodness will be rewarded . Since I was young, Master taught me to be good to others,” Su Wan’er said adamantly .

 The full-bearded man was completely helpless . He looked at Yang Yuting next to him and said, “Sect junior sister Yuting, please talk some sense into her . ”

 “Sect senior brother Lu, you know sect junior sister Wan’er’s temper . Once she makes a decision, even nine cows can’t move her,” Yang Yuting said helplessly .

 Saving a life was an act of kindness, and one would be somewhat ashamed if they could save a person and yet left him in the forest to fend for himself . However, rationally speaking, Yang Yuting would still not save this person .

 “Sect junior sister Wan’er, I will speak rather frankly . We came this time with a task . If we do not complete the task, we will all be punished . By bringing along this burden, you will encumber everyone,” one of the youths said . He had not yet spoken and his expression was cold . It was not easy for them to search for precious medicinal herbs in the primeval forest . By bringing this person along with the, it would make things much for difficult for all of them .

 Once he had finished speaking, no one else said anything further . They either lowered their heads and looked at their feet or glanced around . Although his words were somewhat overboard, it indeed was what they were thinking . It was just not convenient for them to say it aloud . If they brought along this living corpse, would they still be able to complete the mission?

 Su Wan’er bit her lip and lowered her head . Tears welled up in her eyes . Only after a while, only did she lift her head and softly said, “Dear sect senior brothers and sisters, I know that doing so will add to your burdens . I don’t want to wrong you, but I cannot watch a life slip past right before my eyes and not save them . Hence, I have decided to leave this medicinal herb gathering team . I will return to the sect and turn myself in . ”

 As she said this, Su Wan’er bent over and picked Mo Wen up . It was strange seeing her petite figure picking up Mo Wen, but she was an ancient martial art practitioner, so it was not a problem for her to lift him .

 The others watched as Su Wan’er’s silhouette disappeared . Their eyes were full of complicated looks . Su Wan’er was the youngest sect junior sister among them . Usually, she was the one who was protected . But right now, they realized that Su Wan’er had courage and fortitude that they did not have .

 No one noticed that when Su Wan’er picked up Mo Wen, Mo Wen’s finger had trembled slightly .

 When Mo Wen once again opened his eyes, the sky outside was dark . It clearly was night . Mo Wen lay on a bed with only his eyes open . He discovered that his entire body was stiff, as though he was sealed in rock . Waves of pain kept assaulting his mind . Even moving was difficult .

 “This time, I was really unlucky . ” Mo Wen laughed bitterly . His injuries were more severe than he had imagined . His body was filled with a destructive lightning power which was destroying the organs in his body . What was more frightening was that this destructive power had blocked off the meridians in his body . Not only did it prevent his natural recovery ability, it also sealed his cultivation .

 If he did not get rid of this destructive lightning power, he could not recover from his injuries . Right now, he lay on the bed, unable to move; he was no different from a cripple .

 “I should have known not to have used the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear . ” Mo Wen revealed a smile that was uglier than crying . Although the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear’s might was outrageously strong, he had only activated one attack and it had nearly taken his life . It would be better for him to not touch the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear again when his ability was insufficient .

“Luckily, I still have leftover Vital Qi in my body as well as the power of Ji Wuya’s inheritance . I can slightly resist the destructive lightning power and gradually let my body recover . Otherwise, I really do not know what else to do this time . ”

 After noticing that there were still two powers resisting the lightning power in his body, Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief . When his injuries had recovered slightly, he could open the medicine spiritual ring and retrieve the healing panaceas inside . They would more or less heal some of his injuries .
