Danzun War God

Chapter Ninety Patrol

Chen Wei looked at Han Qi's expression and realized that what his elder brother said was true. At first, he didn't believe that the pill had failed to be refined. In his memory, his elder brother had never failed.

After crying for a while, Tang Siyu gradually stopped crying and said through sobs, "I want to go back to the God and Demon Palace. I miss my master. We don't need these pills anymore."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back now," Han Qi murmured.

Those who overheard their conversation shook their heads and sighed, expressing their great regret. These people included Guo Huai'an and the elders, who had originally planned to have Han Qi help them refine a few batches of high-grade pills, but now they couldn't bring themselves to ask.

Back at their lodgings, the group quickly tidied up and prepared to leave. Tang Siyu remained immersed in grief over her master's impending death from the poison. Han Qi watched this with a heavy heart, and several times felt the urge to reveal the truth. Ultimately, however, she held back; since they were already playing their part, they should play it to the fullest.

After bidding farewell to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the group returned directly to the God and Demon Palace. The atmosphere was extremely tense along the way, with almost no one speaking, which shortened the journey considerably. They arrived at the God and Demon Palace in just seven days.

Chen Wei was not a disciple of the Divine Demon Palace and was not qualified to go to the Three Venerable Halls of the Divine Demon Palace, so he was arranged to stay in a guest room at the foot of the mountain. Tang Siyu led the group directly to the main hall, where Hua Wuxie was pacing back and forth in front of it with a worried expression.

"Third Uncle!" Tang Siyu cried and rushed over.

"Woo!"

Tang Siyu cried very sadly, releasing all the emotions she had suppressed all the way. She cried so hard that her whole body was shaking. Han Qi tried to pull her away several times, but couldn't stop her. Han Qi immediately realized that he was in big trouble.

Seeing Tang Siyu crying, Hua Wuxie guessed that there must be something wrong with the Reversal Pill. He couldn't help but feel sad as well, and comforted Tang Siyu, "Good people are always blessed. Big brother will definitely get better."

Tang Siyu cried for a long time before she finally stopped, and then she insisted on going to see her master.

The group then arrived at the ice cave on the back mountain. Tang Shuntian was in a small room, covered in ice shards, his eyes closed, his face ashen, and his life force extremely weak. He seemed to be on his last legs.

Tang Siyu was now very calm and stopped crying. She just looked at her master with a calm expression and accepted the fact in her heart.

"Master is saved!" Han Qi said solemnly.

When he said that, everyone looked at him with suspicion.

Han Qi took out a bottle of pills and said, "I lied to everyone. I did have one Rejuvenation Pill, but I was afraid that it would cause some forces to fight over it, so I said that it hadn't been refined. I'm sorry to you all."

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, their sorrow turning to joy. Hua Wuxie excitedly said, "Han Qi, you did the right thing. This avoided any further complications."

Qin Wuyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "You've really kept it well hidden."

"Then hurry up, saving Master is the priority!" Tang Siyu said irritably, though she was both angry and pleased.

"First, raise Master's body temperature, then give him the Rejuvenation Pill," Han Qi said solemnly.

The crowd, disregarding their own emotions, helped carry Tang Shuntian out.

Han Qi conjured a ball of flame, while Hua Wuxie used his profound energy to guide Tang Shuntian's blood and qi to flow. At this time, Tang Shuntian's meridians were already very fragile, so the two of them were very careful.

Two hours later, the ice on Tang Shuntian's body completely melted, and his blood and energy began to flow again. However, he was still unconscious. During this time, Han Qi had Qin Wuyang prepare a large bathtub, which was already filled with hot water.

Han Qi placed Tang Shuntian in hot water, took out the Reversal Pill, and put it into Tang Shuntian's mouth. Hua Wuxie assisted Tang Shuntian in absorbing it. Under the effect of the pill, the toxins began to seep out of Tang Shuntian's skin. Because his meridians were too fragile, he could not add external assistance like he did for Tang Siyu to accelerate the detoxification. He could only rely on the effect of the pill to expel the toxins.

After a full day and night, and with the black water in the bathtub changed several times, the detoxification process was finally completed. Han Qi then took out several pills for Tang Shuntian to take, mostly spirit-nourishing pills and qi-replenishing pills.

After settling Tang Shuntian into bed, Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I estimate that Master will need to sleep for several more days. His body has been severely damaged, and he will need careful recuperation after he wakes up."

After finishing his work, Hua Wuxie looked at Ha Ni with a different gaze. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This person is talented and capable. He will surely achieve great things in the future. He is definitely my elder brother's lucky star and the lucky star of the God and Demon Palace."

"You all go back and rest. I'll take care of Master here. I'll let everyone know when Master wakes up," Tang Siyu said happily.

“Alright! But there’s something I need to remind you of. The Second Palace Master’s faction has been quite rampant lately. You guys, especially Han Qi, should try to avoid direct conflict with them,” Hua Wuxie said solemnly.

"Still that Eighth Master?" Qin Wuyang said with a disdainful look.

"You're talking about Second Brother's second disciple. He was seriously injured that time and couldn't be saved. He has already perished. But he deserved to die. You don't need to take it to heart," Hua Wuxie said calmly.

After saying that, he sighed and continued, "There are five people running rampant now, and they seem to have quite a reputation. They are known as the Five Monsters of Copper Demon Mountain. It's really a shame that such unruly people have entered the Temple of Gods and Demons."

"My master has endured so much since he was poisoned, which has only emboldened the Second Palace. But now it's all good. Once my master wakes up, he will surely be able to rid the Divine Demon Palace of this filth." Tang Siyu said indignantly.

"So many years? You've known all this time that your master was poisoned, why didn't you say anything?" Hua Wuxie asked in surprise.

"Master said there's no cure for this poison, and he's afraid that if he told anyone, the God and Demon Palace would be thrown into chaos," Tang Siyu said with a sorrowful expression.

Hua Wuxie nodded noncommittally and said, "No matter what, it's all over now. We really need to give Han Qi and his alchemy-making relative a good rest."

"Your relative refined the Rejuvenation Pill?" Qin Wuyang asked in confusion.

Han Qi smiled and said, "If I said it was me, who would believe me?"

Hua Wuxie smiled and said nothing more, letting the young people have fun, and then went out.

Han Qi left behind a few pills and went down the mountain with Qin Wuyang, because Han Qi had his own business to attend to, which was to take the Water Spirit Pearl.

Coincidentally, just as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard that the Elder Council had announced the list of the new round of inner hall disciples patrolling the mountaintop. Han Qi and Qin Wuyang hurriedly went to check the list. Whether it was intentional on the part of the Elder Council or not, they were assigned to the same group as the Five Monsters of Copper Demon Mountain, and the time was three days later.

"Other groups all have an experienced senior as their captain, why don't we have one?" Qin Wuyang asked in confusion.
