Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Inside the forbidden area, in a cave.

"What did you say?! So casually?!" Yagami Kuma's mouth gaped open in disbelief.

What did Guan Xun just say?

Because of some health problems, I changed my physical form and started cultivating again.

His tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care at all.

Such absurd and serious things, coming from her mouth, are no different from saying she just drank some water.

To discard the fruits of hundreds of years of cultivation so easily... it seems something very serious has happened...

Guan Xun waved his hand casually, his gaze falling on the waist and abdomen of the eight silver bears wrapped in thick black cloth.

The cloth rose and fell with the other person's breathing. At first glance, it seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, one could see that some liquid was seeping out from the black cloth as it rose and fell.

The strange, bloody smell we had smelled outside the Tanyou Cave earlier was coming from the black cloth.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she tapped her fingertips lightly on the chair a few times: "Are you injured?"

Upon hearing this, Hachigami's shocked expression faded, and he placed his large hand on the black cloth covering his abdomen: "Damn it, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

He stood up abruptly from the chair, his brow furrowed, a look of pain flashing in his eyes, and he quickly untied the black cloth from his waist.

The moment the black cloth was loosened, an indescribable stench of blood instantly swept through the entire cave. If someone with a weaker tolerance for blood were present, they would probably faint from the stench.

The deep wound had the skin and flesh peeled outwards, showing signs of peeling off. A large circle of swelling had appeared around it, and it had begun to turn black and ulcerate. Thick yellow pus mixed with dark red blood covered it, making it look like a bloody hole.

Right next to the hole, there were many traces of new flesh growing after the scabs had formed, indicating that the wound had been treated countless times.

Blood gushed from the hole like a spring, seeping through the black cloth and flowing down the muscular thighs of the Eight Silver Bear. In a short time, a small pool of blood had formed at his feet.

The eight-silver bear groaned in pain, its hands gripping the black cloth tightly and pressing it back onto its wound to stop the bleeding from becoming too severe.

"About 300 million years ago, I was injured by a woman in red whom I encountered on my way back from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons." It recalled the past, its clenched teeth making a grinding sound, revealing its anger and resentment.

"A woman in red?" Guan Xun had a bad feeling.

"Yes, they were so well-covered up that they seemed to be hiding from everyone, yet they wreaked havoc in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, taking the beast cores of the demons." The Eight Silver Earth Bear took a deep breath, his words revealing a hint of lingering fear, his fists clenched tightly, unable to recover for a long time.

"At that time, I was already at the eightyth level, but when I fought that person, I was completely powerless to fight back. If it weren't for the beast tide that happened to help me escape in the chaos, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

After saying that, it closed its eyes tightly to calm itself down before slowly speaking again: "Yes, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but that person seems to have an aura similar to yours from before."

"Really?" Guan Xun grinned, revealing a strange smile.

“This is no joke. At first, I thought it was you coming back, but after looking closely, she's nothing like you.” Hachigami Kuma said, shaking his head in frustration. “She just feels different! If it were really you, I would recognize you at a glance!”

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong immediately raised his head: "Master, is it the Second Princess?"

Guan Xun glanced at it sideways and said, "Hmm."

Seeing the other person's somewhat strange expression, Hachigami Chikuma hesitated slightly, his confidence waning, and said, "...That person wouldn't be you, would it?"

"Hmm?" Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, looking at it with amusement. "No, it's just someone I know."

"Oh, you scared me." It paused, then its eyes widened suddenly. "Someone I know?! Good, good, good! Who is it?! I have to get revenge on her!"

"Are you confident you can beat her? Even at my peak, I was slightly inferior," Guan Xun replied.

The honest truth dampened the Eight-Silver Earth Bear's impulse somewhat, and it sighed, "Then who exactly is it?"

“My sister,” Guan Xun said in a calm tone.

"What?!" The eight silver bear was shocked again, its large paws nearly crushing the black cloth.

long silence.

"Your sister... sister... it seems I'll have to think twice before seeking revenge on her in the future."

"No need, just go all out." Guan Xun couldn't help but chuckle. "I don't get along with her."

After saying that, her smile faded, and she said seriously, "Your injury..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the Eight Silver Earth Bear: "Just thinking about this injury gives me a headache! I've tried all the herbs in the Pool Nether Cave, whether they're for healing or other purposes, but none of them have worked at all!"

It sighed, realizing for the first time that its precious herbs were useless junk.

Since the injury, I have had to spend a lot of time every day cleaning the necrotic tissue around the wound, otherwise the pain would be unbearable, as if countless tiny knives were cutting into it.

Moreover, the unstoppable bleeding prevented it from stepping out of the cave. If it weren't for the commotion here and the presence of the aura of a divine beast, it wouldn't have come out at all.

Xiao Ba still loves to interrupt others as always... Guan Xun leaned back in his chair helplessly: "You want to get the beast core from the divine beast because of this injury?"

"Well, the beast core of an ordinary demon beast of my rank is of little use, which is why I made this plan."

As the Eight-Silver Earth Bear spoke, it glanced at the miniature version of Crimson Fusion on the other's shoulder and coughed a few times, "If we had known it was yours, we wouldn't have bothered with it..."

Guan Xun didn't say anything more, slowly stood up, and let him reopen the wound.

The wound was located precisely where the beast core was; just half an inch deeper and the beast core could be removed.

It really was a brush with death.

This method of extracting beast pills is extremely cruel. After experiencing the pain of being raw and gutted, the monster will not die immediately, but will be tormented by the wound. The feeling of being gnawed by countless maggots will make it suffer unbearable pain, and in the end, it will lose too much blood and become a dried corpse.

She used the same method when she dug out the core of the Swallowing Crocodile Beast in the inner area.

Although the injury is troublesome, it is not incurable; even centuries-old medicinal herbs should be able to cure it.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the beast core is still intact.

Without the beast core, there's nothing left but to wait for death.

Seeing the other party's extremely pale lips due to excessive blood loss, Guan Xun's green spiritual power surged into his palm, and wisps of mist were transmitted towards the wound of the Eight Silver Earth Bear.

"What are you..."

Sensing a cool sensation emanating from the area covered by spiritual energy, Hachigami's tense face slowly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

It was overjoyed to see the wound healing inch by inch.

Before long, after the spiritual energy dissipated, the wound healed completely without leaving a trace.

Eight Silver Bear hurriedly stood up, his large hands constantly groping his abdomen, and he patted the wound several times in disbelief.

The sound of my palms slapping my skin was exceptionally deep and resonant, and I felt no pain whatsoever; my whole body felt incredibly relaxed.

"This...this..." It slapped its thigh in astonishment and exclaimed, "It's done?!"

"My dear aunt! My dear aunt!" It paced back and forth excitedly, repeating only one phrase for a moment...

Having been tormented by pain for hundreds of years, the Eight Silver Earth Bear could no longer contain its emotions, and if it hadn't remembered that Guan Xun didn't like its touch, it would have already gone up and shaken him.

As expected of my great-aunt, even with a body that looks like a weakling, she's still incredibly powerful!
