In the following days, everyone continued to heal their wounds; Chu Yang also exhausted all his means to treat everyone, as everyone's injuries were quite severe.
Especially for Fengyue, their injuries were even more serious. Chu Yang did his utmost, but he could only alleviate their wounds slightly and could not help them recover.
Dong Wushang, Mo Lei Er, and Mo Qingwu were also in a relatively serious condition.
Injuries of this nature, for example, the same wounds inflicted by the throne and those inflicted by a supreme being, are entirely different concepts. Although the force exerted is similar, the injuries caused by a supreme being naturally carry the mark of supreme divine thought!
That is a more subtle form of destruction.
Especially when it comes to the damage to the spirit and meridians, which is significantly severe and hard to recover from. This time it was inflicted by a ninth rank supreme, making the harm even greater.
As a result, everyone's recovery was exceptionally slow this time.
The most severely injured, of course, was Master Wu!
Master Wu's injuries had reached a point where even the Sword Spirit was somewhat at a loss.
Chu Yang once contemplated using the Heavenly Repair Jade, but was stopped by the Sword Spirit: the Heavenly Repair Jade can only reach its maximum efficacy after death; as the name implies, to repair the heavens, they must have already collapsed...
If the heavens haven't collapsed, why repair them?
And Master Wu was clearly still alive.
If he were to wait until he had no breath left to use the Heavenly Repair Jade, he would end up like Wu Qianqian, falling into a long slumber and only waking up when he has the nine deaths soul returning grass.
What Chu Yang could do now was only to use medicine to stabilize Master Wu's injuries for the time being.
The rest would have to rely on his own strength to slowly recover before discussing anything else. Because, for someone like Master Wu, he absolutely could not use the ninefold pill!
Once he did, it would immediately expose his identity.
The variables were simply too great.
Chu Yang could not afford such variables right now.
In these past few days, the atmosphere in Heaven's Secret City was filled with sorrow. After the battle at Xingyun Mountain, the Zhuge family had waited for a long time without anyone returning and sent people to check on Xingyun Mountain.
Upon checking, the few people they sent were so frightened they fled in panic!
Xingyun Mountain was littered with corpses! Everyone from the nine great clans had perished here!
The news sent back shocked the Zhuge family to its core!
They sent many people to Xingyun Mountain to retrieve the bodies and quickly notified the other great clans. The entire Nine Heavens Continent was shrouded in gloom. Every clan of the nine great clans was in mourning.
Including the Li family.
Li Xiangsi returned north with his people, encountering countless ambushes along the way; by the end, other than Li Xiangsi, only five people managed to return to the Li family...
The Li family was furious and vowed revenge.
...
Fifth Family. Diwu Qingrou's small courtyard.
"Are all of our people wiped out? Not a single one returned?" Diwu Qingrou’s expression revealed shock; this matter was of utmost seriousness.
The Fifth Family's foundation was not solid, having temporarily loaned five supreme beings. This drained half of the Fifth Family's strength.
The complete annihilation of their forces at Xingyun Mountain could not help but leave Diwu Qingrou both shocked and heartbroken.
"Yes," the elderly figure in the shadows seemed to have even deeper wrinkles on his face.
"Impressive!" Diwu Qingrou sighed, "I didn't expect them to have such powerful strength."
"But the adults clearly promised to help that Chu Yang, and even told him the attire of our people. They still killed all of our people... Truly ungrateful," the old man said angrily.
Diwu Qingrou remained silent for a moment and said, "Actually, those people's robes did not have the 'Five' character on them."
