Chapter 2384 A Plea for Help

During the past three years, New Genesis Sect had held three examination ceremonies to select disciples. Each time, it had attracted everyone’s attention and was known as the number one event worldwide.

Every year, countless young talents stood out and made themselves known in the examination ceremony. Those who ranked in the top ten each time even became household names.

During this time, the foundation of New Genesis Sect had also become more and more solid. Its every move was now able to change the weather of the world.

In response to this, many people had commented out of sentiment: ‘All the talents in the world gather at New Genesis.’

Meanwhile, the Ancient Wasteland Domain had deployed many forces that wanted to re-enter the All Dao Realm, but without exception, Lin Xun's dao bodies had crushed them utterly.

Even if armies led by Emperor experts seemed unable to take a beating in front of them.

......

One day, in the Forbidden City.

Outside Mind Cleansing Peak.

A travel-worn, blue-clothed woman who looked exhausted was pleading, “Please, let me see Emperor Lord Lin!”

A disciple of New Genesis Sect tried to persuade her patiently, “Miss, how many times have I told you, everyday, countless big names in this All Dao Realm lining up wishing for an audience with our founder, only to be disappointed without exception.

“They have no chances, and it’s not because I'm unwilling to report up their request, but that our founder said three years ago that he wouldn't see any guests.

“Miss, I can see that you are overly anxious, but please don't make things difficult for me and just leave.”

The blue-clothed woman's expression quickly shifted. She bitterly said, “I ran all the way from the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and it wasn't easy for me to arrive here...If I can't see Emperor Lord Lin...then I might as well just die...”

With that, she drew her sword and cut toward her own neck.

Clang!

In a metallic collision, her longsword was sent flying.

That New Genesis Sect disciple snapped, “Miss, what are you doing?”

The blue-clothed woman's eyes glazed over. She mumbled with a blank, hopeless look, “What am I doing...? I just want to see Emperor Lord Lin and tell him that his disciple is under great duress. Is he...is he really not going to save him...”

Disciple?

The disciples guarding the mountain gate were all stunned. They had never heard that their sect’s patriarch had taken in a disciple.

Plop!

The woman in blue seemed to have lost the last bit of her strength and fainted on the ground.

A person came forward to check, and could not help but gasp, “Her internal wound is so critical that she’s teetering on the brink of death. I really don't know...how she has been able to hold up until now...”

“What do we do?” The other disciples looked at each other in dismay. This was the first time they had encountered something like this.

“First heal her wounds. Once she regains consciousness, we’ll send her away,” one of them decided.

“Senior Brother, but her injuries are too severe. I'm afraid that we won't be able to do that with our ability...” The others all frowned, at a loss of what to do.

“What's going on?” a voice rang out right at this moment.

From the mountain gate, a handsome man in a brocade robe walked out. It was none other than Shi Yu.

“Greetings, Elder!” The disciples saluted him before one of them recounted what had happened with the blue-clad woman.

Upon learning the purpose of this visitor, Shi Yu was dumbfounded. He likewise didn’t know when Lin Xun had accepted a disciple.

“What a grave injury!” After walking over to check her condition, Shi Yu was visibly astonished.

Without hesitation, he carefully picked her up and walked into the gate.

Atop Mind Cleansing Peak, Lin Xun's Green Wood Dao Body was meditating.

He immediately noticed Shi Yu the moment the latter appeared to bring the blue-clothed woman to him.

“Brother Lin, this girl said that she came for the matter of your disciple, but she’s too badly injured...” Shi Yu informed him.

Lin Xun was stunned, and a name suddenly came to mind – Su Bai!

Back then, on the shore of Star Chess Sea in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, he had accepted a straw-shod youngster as a nominal disciple, who was born with the same sword bone as Yun Qingbai!

“Leave her to me.” Lin Xun got up. After briefly assessing the blue-clothed woman, even he was a little startled.

Her injuries were too grave!

Her internal organs, meridians, acupoints, and even her dao foundation and spirit had all suffered serious trauma. Due to not being able to get treatment in time, the faint aura of death was already drifting around her.

Under this circumstance, the fact that a delicate woman managed to go all the way from the Ancient Wasteland Domain to this place...was simply a miracle.

An ordinary expert wouldn’t be able to save her life at this point.

However, it was nothing difficult for Lin Xun.

While thinking, he extended a finger and pressed the spot between the woman's brows. A stream formed of abundant vitality poured out and, as gentle as a spring breeze, soaked into every part of her body...

Less than ten minutes later.

He retracted his hand and took out a precious herb. He casually refined it into drops of medicinal juice which surged into her.

One incense stick of time later.

Seeing the woman's drying vitality recovering little by little and her body visibly glowing with life, Lin Xun relaxed.

It was not an exaggeration to say that if she hadn't seen him today, then she probably wouldn’t have been able to survive.

Shi Yu, who had been standing on one side, also breathed a sigh of relief. “Brother Lin, despite her injuries, she came here to seek help for your disciple. You...can't just stand by and watch.”

Lin Xun nodded.

Looks like it's time for a trip to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

......

When Gu Xi woke up, she only felt a warm sensation, as if she was being immersed in a warm spring. Every inch of her was full of vitality.

Vigorous aeth qi was circulating in her like a grand river. Where her spirit resided, there was no more pain and exhaustion. Instead, it was incomparably clear and bright.

Gu Xi opened her eyes and found herself in a simple but elegant room. Outside the open window, there were auspicious clouds, dancing cranes, and cascading rays of sunlight.

From somewhere far, the rustling of pine trees echoed like heavenly music.

Even the breaths she took were brimming with divine aeth qi, making one feel refreshed and happy.

“Is this a dream...?” Gu Xi was in a daze.

In the past two months, she had suffered wound after wound while being constantly on the run. Going through so many perils, she had survived entirely on her willpower.

In fact, even she herself hadn’t expected that, for the man she loved and adored, she could be so reckless...

What life and death, what pain and hardship, it was as if nothing mattered anymore.

“How are you feeling?” A gentle voice rang out, carrying the power to soothe the heart.

Gu Xi sat up with a huff and turned her head to see a handsome, ethereal man sitting at the desk. He was looking at her with a smile.

Gu Xi instantly understood that she had been saved!

“Thank you so much for saving my life.” She struggled to stand.

Lin Xun waved his hand, and a gentle force pushed Gu Xi to lay down on the bed again. “I just rebuilt your meridians and acupoints, and repaired your nearly collapsed foundation. Strenuous movements are not advisable yet.”

Gu Xi briefly checked herself, and surely, not only her injuries had been healed, but even her own cultivation had been refined anew. She was astounded. Even if she broke her head, she still couldn’t imagine how there could be such an incredible ability in this world.

Of note, she had been prepared for her cultivation to be sabotaged and reduced to a mortal!

Gu Xi couldn't help but ask, “Dare I ask who you are?”

“Lin Xun,” replied Lin Xun casually. “That is, the master of Su Bai that you are looking for.”

“It's really you!” Gu Xi's eyes glowed, her face radiating with excitement. “Senior, Young Master Su Bai is in grave danger! Please help him!”

Lin Xun asked, “What happened to him?”

Gu Xi took a deep breath before relating the whole story to him.

It turned out that after Lin Xun had taken Su Bai as his disciple, the latter had become a young genius whose name shook the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

He successively became the domain’s number one expert in the five great cultivation stages, the Longevity King Stage, the Saint Stage...

Until ten years ago, he had even jumped to become a supreme quasi-Emperor as a supreme Saint-King!

His advancement speed, his overwhelming battle prowess, and his unfathomable foundation made him the strongest person in every stage. He was like a big sun in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, shining brightly high above.

Not long ago, Su Bai went to the Great Emperor Pass to train. In a fierce battle, he had unfortunately been ambushed and gone missing. To this day, his state had been unknown.

Gu Xi said, “Young Master Su Bai has a stubborn and withdrawn temperament. These years, although he is famous all over the world, he has also offended many great powers. When they learned that he was in trouble, most of them looked on with cold eyes and even gloated.

“I heard that you appeared in the All Dao Realm, so in desperation, I held on to a glimmer of hope and ran here to seek your help.”

After hearing this, Lin Xun asked, “So to speak, after Su Bai was attacked at the Great Emperor Pass, it’s uncertain whether he is alive or dead?”

Gu Xi nodded.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and said, “What about you, how did you sustain such heavy injuries?”

Gu Xi's expression kept changing for a long time before she bitterly said, “This is also my fault. When I learned of Young Master Su Bai's suffering, my heart burned with anxiety, and I went to some big sects to seek help. During that, I unknowingly divulged his identity as your disciple, so they regarded me as a thorn in their side...

“Especially, when they knew that I was going to find you for help in the All Dao Realm, they spared no effort to obstruct me, sending out many forces to chase and kill me all the way here...”

Lin Xun's eyes flickered with icy glints, “So Su Bai's relationship with me implicated you, and they got you into such a state.”

Gu Xi hurriedly shook her head, “This is not your fault, Senior. I was too careless and stupid to notice their hostility toward you...”

Lin Xun waved his hand, “It’s fine, you don’t have to explain. I happen to be taking a trip to the Ancient Wasteland Domain soon, so whether it's to save Su Bai or let you have your vengeance, it's time for this old grudge...to come to a complete end.”

After a pause, he said warmly, “Rest for now. Three days later, I will take you with me to the Ancient Wasteland Domain.”

After saying that, he left the room.

Gu Xi lay on the bed, in a trance as thousands of emotions welled up in her heart.

After a long time, she murmured, “Brother Su Bai, I saw your master who you revere the most, and he promised to save you. So you...must stay alive...”
