Demon Sword And The Deathly Palm

Chapter — 6

Ye Yuan's hard work paid off. The people who attacked the Xiao Clan had wasted too much time in the clan area, so they couldn't find any traces of Xiao Chen and Ye Yuan at all.

....

After conducting a quick and thorough tracking, the attackers immediately returned and reported.

“Leader, we've searched the entire area. But the servant and the boy are completely nowhere to be found.”

“Yes, leader. Both of them seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth.”

After hearing the report, a chilling aura seemed to suddenly come over them, making all the black-clad men have a premonition that they would be punished for their incompetence in handling an important matter.

The leader's eyes were sharp and bloodshot. It was clear he couldn't hide the anger boiling inside him.

“You useless bastards!! You’ve ruined all our plans!!” The leader shouted.

Meanwhile, his subordinates were frozen and silent, with their knees trembling.

“Enough, it's no use scolding you now. Go back to looking for that thing, no matter how you do it.” The leader immediately turned around and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

But then another voice was heard coming from the Leader. “If you don’t find that thing … when you return, please go to the Abyss of Hell for three months and reflect well on your mistakes there.”

Hearing those words, cold sweat suddenly broke out on the faces of the men in black. They all clearly understood what the Leader had called the Abyss of Hell.

This is the highest prison and training ground in their group. For Martial Arts Grandmasters, entering there is tantamount to death.

In the Abyss of Hell, they will not only be subjected to physical torture, but also to mental torture. The group's mental training techniques are not taught to Grandmaster-level martial artists.

These techniques will only be taught to practitioners who have stepped into the Earth Warrior level.

It's incredibly difficult for Grandmasters to survive there for just a week. So what if they were asked to survive for three months?

In the end, the men in black returned to search for the item the leader wanted carefully, even though the final result of their search was nil.

….

After running non-stop for days and nights, Ye Yuan finally felt that their escape would not be caught at all and was confident that Xiao Chen could be saved.

For a moment, Ye Yuan stopped in the middle of the dense forest. After temporarily confirming that there were no traces of pursuers behind them, he slowly lowered Xiao Chen's body onto the grass.

As soon as he checked his condition, Ye Yuan's expression immediately turned gloomy.

“It's so cold ... no, this is ... not good.”

The moment his palm touched Xiao Chen's forehead, he felt a terrifyingly high temperature. The teenager's entire body was burning with fever, and his breathing was heavy and irregular.

Xiao Chen's face was pale, and his lips moved intermittently, unable to utter a single word. His consciousness was already on the verge of collapse.

“Unlucky …”

Ye Yuan clenched his fists. He had indeed successfully led Xiao Chen out of the enemy's encirclement, but that didn't mean they were safe.

With conditions this dire, the slightest mistake could cost Xiao Chen his life.

“I can't keep bringing the Young Master around aimlessly.”

Ye Yuan immediately forced himself to calm down. Right now, they needed shelter, clean water, and someone who could at least temporarily treat Xiao Chen's injuries.

Without wasting any time, Ye Yuan laid Xiao Chen down under a large, shady tree. He made sure the youth was well-hidden before leaping up the tree trunk with a light movement.

Whoosh!

In a few breaths, Ye Yuan had reached the top of the towering tree.

From that height, the expanse of forest that had previously obscured his view was now wide open. A strong breeze blew against his face, while his eyes quickly scanned the area.

“Hopefully there are still villages around here ...”

A moment later, the look in Ye Yuan's eyes changed.

In the distance, thin plumes of smoke could be seen rising into the sky. Behind the dense trees, dozens of simple houses could be faintly seen, forming a small village.

“There he is.”

Without hesitation, Ye Yuan immediately jumped down.

Upon arriving at the bottom, Ye Yuan immediately lifted Xiao Chen onto his back. Seeing the young man's increasingly pale face, he gritted his teeth.

“Hold on a little longer, Young Master. We're almost there.”

As soon as those words were spoken, Ye Yuan's figure turned into a faint shadow.

At full speed, Ye Yuan charged through the forest towards the village, hoping there was still a chance to save Xiao Chen's life before it was too late.

After traveling for a quarter of an hour non-stop, Ye Yuan finally saw a village appear before his eyes.

At the entrance stood a sturdy stone gate, carved on top of which were three large letters that appeared to have been weathered by time.

“White Tiger Village.”

Ye Yuan slowed his steps for a moment as he observed his surroundings.

From the faint aura emanating in the air, Ye Yuan could sense that this place was no ordinary village.

The few residents passing by had steady steps and deep breaths. A glance was enough to tell him that quite a few martial arts practitioners lived here.

This actually made Ye Yuan a little wary. “Could it be that those men in black also have accomplices here …” This thought briefly crossed his mind.

But when he turned to look at Xiao Chen, who was still lying weakly on his back, Ye Yuan immediately dismissed all doubts. “I had no choice.”

Ye Yuan gritted his teeth, then stepped into the village.

The atmosphere inside was far more peaceful than expected. The main streets were lined with neatly arranged wooden houses. Residents strolled about with serene expressions, while rows of vendors lined both sides of the road.

The aroma of warm food mixed with the fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the air, creating a prosperous and lively atmosphere.

Ye Yuan wasted no time admiring the scenery. He immediately approached a middle-aged vendor who was arranging his wares.

“Excuse me, sir,” Ye Yuan greeted politely. “Are you a native of White Tiger Village?”

“Of course,” the man replied kindly. “I’ve lived here since I was a child. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Then, is there a reliable healer in this village? My nephew is seriously injured and needs immediate help.”

The merchant glanced at Xiao Chen, who was lying weakly on Ye Yuan's back, then his face turned serious.

“Then let's not waste any time. Go to the end of this street and turn right. Doctor Xu lives there. His medical skills are the best in all of White Tiger Village,” the merchant explained in detail.

“Thank You.”

After expressing his gratitude, Ye Yuan immediately followed the instructions while bringing Xiao Chen along, hoping that Physician Xu would really be able to save Xiao Chen life.
