Chapter 5338
He paused and looked at Hu Mazi, “The Hu family’s spirits were not found in the branch hall. According to the confessions of You Wuxie and others, they have been sent to the main hall of the Evil Path Hall.”
Mo Chen’s eyes flashed with understanding when he heard this. He then looked at Hu Mazi and said with a bit of regret: “Master Hu, this matter… I’m sorry for putting you in such a difficult position.”
Hu Mazi waved his hand, suppressing his frustration. “I’m not wronged. At least I know the spirits of my clansmen might still be here. As long as the main hall is still there, I’ll find them one day!”
“What a great phrase, ‘as long as the main hall still exists.'”
A hint of admiration flashed in Mo Chen’s eyes. “Although the Sword Sect is small, as long as you need it, the entire Sword Sect is ready to support you at any time.”
As he spoke, the surrounding Sword Sect disciples gathered around him and looked at Kai with admiration.
Some time ago, Kai instructed Ling Xue at the Sword Testing Cliff, and later he teamed up with Hu Mazi to destroy the branch of the Evil Path Hall. He had long become a “legend” in the hearts of the Sword Sect disciples.
“Brother Chen is so awesome!”
Someone shouted, and the other disciples echoed him, the sound echoing through the city gate.
Kai smiled and nodded, his eyes swept through the crowd, and soon found the familiar figure. Ling Xue was standing at the back of the crowd, dressed in white, holding a plain package tightly in her hand.
When she saw him, her eyes lit up instantly, but there was also a hint of subtle nervousness. She subconsciously moved forward a little, then stopped.
Kai’s heart moved slightly and he walked towards Ling Xue.
“Senior Brother…”
Ling Xue came forward, her voice filled with joy, but her eyes fell on the blood on his body, and her brows furrowed instantly, “Are you hurt?”
“It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.” Kai raised his hand and gently brushed across her furrowed brows with his fingertips. “I’m sorry to have worried you.”
Ling Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head: “I’m not worried… I just… I just feel that you will definitely come back safely.”
As she spoke, she handed over the package in her hand, “This is the medicine and magical herbs I prepared for you these days. Use them as soon as you get back.”
The package felt warm to the touch, obviously she had been holding it in her arms.
Kai took it, and his fingertips touched the back of her hand. He felt the delicate warmth, and a warm current surged in his heart: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Hu Mazi watched the interaction between the two, grinned, and patted Mo Chen on the shoulder: “Brother Mo Chen, let’s go back and rest for a while. I’ll talk to you later about the situation of the branch hall.”
Mo Chen nodded: “Okay, you’ve been traveling all the way, so take a good rest first.”
The group walked towards the Sword Sect’s headquarters. The sunlight shone on the bluestone road of Sword Saint City, casting long shadows. The air was filled with a faint spiritual power and the fragrance of plants, which was completely different from the bloody and evil aura of the Black Wind Mountains. It actually gave people the illusion that they were in another world.
After returning to the Sword Sect’s headquarters, Kai went to his room first. Ling Xue followed him all the way and insisted on helping him treat his wounds.
“Brother, please sit down first. I’ll go get a basin of spiritual water.”
Ling Xue said this and turned to walk out.
Kai held her wrist and whispered, “Don’t bother with that. I can sort it out myself with my spiritual power.”
“That won’t do!”
Ling Xue broke free from his hand, her tone somewhat stubborn, “Spiritual power can only stabilize the injury, the wound still needs to be cleaned properly. Wait, I’ll be back soon.”
Looking at her back as she walked away quickly, Kai smiled helplessly, but his heart was full of warmth.
During these days, Ling Xue was no longer the little girl who was only at the fourth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Her sword heart became more pure and her cultivation level improved steadily, but in front of him, she still retained the purest concern.
Not long after, Ling Xue returned with a basin of steaming spiritual water, in which were soaked several fragrant immortal herbs.
She placed the basin on the table, took out a clean cloth and medicine from the package, and walked up to Kai: “Brother, please take off your outer robe. I will help you apply the medicine.”
