The next morning.
Ye Cangtian stretched and walked out of his room. In the hall, Lan Yue and the others had already packed their luggage and were eating breakfast.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian also went up and ate some breakfast.
Clatter, clatter...
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and in a blink of an eye, Yan Yun'er from the Misty Rain Tower arrived at the room.
Ye Cangtian looked at her and smiled teasingly, "Miss Yun'er, you've come so early, are you here to see us off?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Cangtian noticed that Yan Yun'er's face was very gloomy, as if something had happened.
On the other side, Yan Yun'er snorted and said, "I'm here to warn you, the road back is not peaceful..."
The Misty Rain Tower had just received news that the several forces that left last night were attacked, and only a small portion of them managed to escape back to the Misty Rain Tower alive.
The attacking forces were powerful, and each of them wore black clothes that covered their faces, so no information about the attackers was known.
As soon as Yan Yun'er heard this news, she immediately came to the Hidden Group to remind Ye Cangtian to be careful.
She wasn't stupid either. There were only a few such existences that dared to rob forces participating in the summit.
Moreover, even Ye Zhenghao of the Blazing Fire Academy couldn't escape unscathed, so Yan Yun'er already had an idea in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak carelessly without evidence.
"What? Ye Zhenghao didn't escape either?"
"What's his condition now?"
Ye Cangtian had no interest in the latter part of the conversation. What he cared about now was Ye Zhenghao's condition.
"His condition is not very good. His mental power is damaged, and he is seriously injured. It's already a stroke of luck that he managed to escape and save his life..."
Listening to Yan Yun'er's voice, Ye Cangtian's brows immediately furrowed.
Ye Zhenghao's cultivation was not low; he had already reached the eighth level of the Quasi-Heavenly realm. In addition, he cultivated mental power combat techniques, and his mental power was also quite impressive.
With such strength, it could be said that below the Heavenly realm, he basically had no opponents.
Even Hun San, the leader of the Flying Cloud Pavilion, couldn't severely injure Ye Zhenghao.
But why was he so seriously injured? Could it be that the attackers were not from the Flying Cloud Pavilion?
With suspicions in his heart, Ye Cangtian looked at Yan Yun'er and said, "Miss Yun'er, where is Ye Zhenghao now?"
After all, Ye Zhenghao was his brother, and now he was seriously injured, so he couldn't stand by and do nothing. Therefore, he decided to change his itinerary.
Yan Yun'er heard this and replied, "Ye Zhenghao is currently recuperating in the Misty Rain Tower. The Tower Master has already given him a Nine Heavens Life Revival Pill..."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded, then looked to the side and said, "Bao'er, come with me to the Misty Rain Tower."
Thus, Ye Cangtian, carrying Yao Bao'er, followed Yan Yun'er back to the Misty Rain Tower.
In an inner chamber, they saw the unconscious Ye Zhenghao.
Ye Zhenghao was now wrapped in bandages all over his body, and his face was extremely pale.
Yao Bao'er stepped forward without a word and quickly gave him a preliminary diagnosis.
After a short while, Yao Bao'er retreated to Ye Cangtian and said, "His physical injuries have stabilized and are gradually improving under the effect of the Nine Heavens Life Revival Pill.
However, the soul injuries may not be so easy to recover!"
Heh heh.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian let out a bitter laugh, "Did this kid deliberately get injured just for the Heavenly Secret Pill?"
Now, the pill with the most significant effect on soul injuries in his possession was the Heavenly Secret Pill, and Ye Zhenghao had asked for it before, and now he had a soul injury.
Of course, this was just a joke. After all, Ye Cangtian knew that Ye Zhenghao was simple and honest and would not do such a thing.
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian took out a Heavenly Secret Pill and prepared to step forward to feed it to Ye Zhenghao.
Jokes aside, if Ye Zhenghao were to have any problems, he would not be stingy with this pill.
Wait.
Just then, Yao Bao'er called out to Ye Cangtian and said, "Boss, it's a waste to give him the Heavenly Secret Pill for his condition. Give me half a day, and I can refine some pills to cure him!"
After exploring the unknown region, Yao Bao'er had also obtained many medicinal herbs that aided the soul.
These medicinal herbs, when simply refined, could exert several times their medicinal effect, and Ye Zhenghao's soul injuries would be completely resolved.
After all, Ye Zhenghao's soul injuries were not severe.
Therefore, Yao Bao'er stopped Ye Cangtian, as the Heavenly Secret Pill was too precious and should be saved if possible.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian said nothing more and directly agreed.
Then, he suddenly turned to Yan Yun'er and said, "Miss Yun'er, could you find a quiet secret room for Bao'er?"
"No problem."
Yan Yun'er quickly nodded but did not leave immediately, hesitating.
Seeing that Yan Yun'er seemed to have something to say, Ye Cangtian said, "Miss Yun'er, if you have anything to say, please speak freely. I will do my best to help if I can."
"That, that, if you refine pills to restore mental power, can you give me two to trade..."
Yan Yun'er was a little nervous. All her life, she had been the treasure of the Misty Rain Tower, getting whatever she wanted.
This was the first time she had directly asked someone for something, and she was also unsure if the other party would agree.
But no matter what, she had to try.
The relationship between the Flying Cloud Pavilion and the Misty Rain Tower was very tense, and the Flying Cloud Pavilion was skilled in mental power attacks, so she had to prepare some contingency plans.
Heh heh.
Looking at Yan Yun'er's appearance, Ye Cangtian was amused.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"
From Yao Bao'er's tone, Ye Cangtian could tell that refining this kind of pill was not difficult, which meant that this kind of pill was not very precious.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian didn't mind giving her a few pills, especially since the Misty Rain Tower had the potential to become an ally in a united front.
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's promise, Yan Yun'er quickly thanked him and then led Yao Bao'er towards the secret room.
While Yao Bao'er was refining the pills, Ye Cangtian and Yan Yun'er went to visit other survivors from various forces.
From this, they basically locked onto the culprits. Judging from their techniques, the attackers were composed of several forces.
The most easily identifiable was Xue Feng. Xue Feng's ice-element sword techniques could be distinguished at a glance when they were performed.
Besides Xue Feng, people from the Flying Cloud Pavilion also hid in the shadows. Once the people in front couldn't hold on, the Flying Cloud Pavilion would provide support with mental power attacks.
As for whether there were any Heavenly realm powerhouses among them, these people truly didn't know. In any case, they had not seen any Heavenly realm powerhouses.
With this information, Ye Cangtian did not rush to act.
There were two reasons: first, Daoist Yuxing of the Misty Rain Tower had already led the disciples of the Misty Rain Tower into action.
After all, the incident happened around the Misty Rain Tower, and they were duty-bound.
Second, Daoist Yuxing had brought many disciples. If the Flying Cloud Pavilion was not stupid, they would not confront them directly and should choose to avoid their edge.
Therefore, even if he made a move, he might not be able to find these thieves from the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
For this reason, Ye Cangtian chose to stay.
Night quickly fell, and Yao Bao'er had already finished refining the pills, called Soul Revival Pills, a total of ten.
Besides giving one pill to Ye Zhenghao, Ye Cangtian handed all the remaining nine to Yan Yun'er.
Among these seven pills, two were as promised to Yan Yun'er, and the remaining seven were for other injured survivors.
Ye Cangtian stated that although the number of pills was a bit small this time, with Yao Bao'er present, more could be refined if needed.
Just as Yan Yun'er was putting away the pills, a guard came to her side and whispered something.
The next moment, Yan Yun'er looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Daoist Yuxing has returned and is now in the grand hall on the third floor."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian paused and then said, "I'll go with you."
Daoist Yuxing had returned in just one day, which Ye Cangtian found abnormal, so he wanted to go and see the situation.
Arriving at the grand hall on the third floor, there were only two people in the hall: Qing Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, and Daoist Yuxing.
"Little friend, you've come too?"
Qing Yan saw Ye Cangtian and greeted him first.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "I heard Daoist Yuxing has returned, and I also want to know the specific situation."
"Please sit."
Qing Yan heard this and gestured for him to sit, and Ye Cangtian did not stand on ceremony, sitting down beside them.
Seeing this, Qing Yan then said, "The other party has set up a great formation outside the city, and the Misty Rain Tower has suffered significant losses..."
