"Since that's the case, don't go charging in there risking your lives. You're no match for them. Wait until I arrive, and we'll talk then!" To be honest, even as Wei Zhao said this, he had not the slightest confidence himself. After all, those were experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank. But be that as it may, Wei Zhao had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge ahead.
"Then... all right." Wu Chengtian still had to heed Wei Zhao's words. He knew well enough that he was no match for those people.
Meanwhile, Huoshaoyun also got out of the car and dialed Tubawang's number.
"Shaoyun, what made you think to call me? Didn't you go to find Leader Wei Zhao? How did it go? Did he agree to help you deal with the Mingri Fu Mingri Sect?" Tubawang asked hurriedly.
"Bawang, never mind that for now. I've run into some trouble here and I can't decide what to do. Help me think it through!" With that, Huoshaoyun quickly laid out the dilemma he faced before Tubawang in detail.
"Oh?" Hearing Huoshaoyun's words, Tubawang hesitated as well. After a moment, however, he offered his counsel: "Shaoyun, if I speak from my own standpoint, of course I'd want you to help Leader Wei Zhao. But as a friend, I also hope you'll act within your means and not throw your life away. Getting hurt doesn't matter—so long as you've still got a breath in you, the Leader can heal you!"
"Heal me? Really?" Huoshaoyun was slightly taken aback. "So long as I don't die, I can be healed?"
"Heh heh, I won't hide it from you—back then my injuries were extremely severe. I was unconscious, barely clinging to life, as you might say. It was Leader Wei Zhao who healed me outright, so that now I'm no different from any normal man, alive and hopping about!" Tubawang said.
"So that means Yang Shuizhen can be saved too?" Huoshaoyun was momentarily stunned.
"Yang Shuizhen? Hasn't he been dead for ages? The dead can't be brought back to life!" Tubawang was startled as well.
"He's not quite dead yet. A few days ago, the Xuandan Sect sent Yang Shuizhen's body back. There was still a breath in him, so my grandfather sealed him away in a cave on Huoyan Mountain. For now he can't die, but neither can he live!" Huoshaoyun said.
"A body can be sent back?" Tubawang was stunned too.
It turned out that this whole affair owed to the ghostly thing inside Wei Zhao's jade pendant. After the ghostly thing had cowed the Dragon of the Five Baleful Stars, the Dragon decided to do a good deed. It had its subordinate spirit beasts deliver all the corpses of those who had died in the trial but had not yet been devoured to the teleportation array in the Five Baleful Mountains, which then transported them back to the Xuandan Sect.
Upon receiving these remains, the Xuandan Sect naturally sent them back to their respective sects. Because of the peculiar nature of his fire-element cultivation, after Yang Shuizhen returned to Huoyan Mountain, the last shred of potential within his body was stirred to life. His will to survive left him a sliver of vitality, though he was absolutely beyond cure. Yang Shuizhen's grandfather was still unwilling to give up. He placed Yang Shuizhen's body in a cave on Huoyan Mountain—the very place where inheritors received their inheritance, but which could also sustain a fire-element cultivator's life for a time after grave injury.
Though Huoshaoyun did not know why Yang Shuizhen had been sent back, he told Tubawang about the faint signs of life in Yang Shuizhen.
"Then he can be saved! Leader Wei Zhao can bring him back!" Tubawang said.
"What?! Really? Even that works?" Huoshaoyun was utterly dumbstruck. "My heavens, that incredible? If that's the case, what am I afraid of? I'm charging to the front!"
"Don't... don't go charging in blindly either!" Tubawang was somewhat speechless. "Just cooperate with Leader Wei Zhao! Ask him what to do!"
