Three hours had passed since the attack on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. At this moment, the sky was beginning to brighten with the dawn, though the sun had not yet risen.
A streak of sword light rushed into Heaven Dou City and plunged straight into Shrek Academy, located in the outer city.
Flender, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji, who possessed the highest cultivations among them, were the first to sense Chen Xin's terrifying aura.
The three of them rushed out the door in alarm and happened to witness the sword light descending.
Moments later, the three arrived at the landing spot and saw Ning Fengzhi and the other two collapsed on the ground.
Ning Fengzhi had one arm severed at the root. His hair was disheveled and had turned completely white. His face was dark, and his breathing was extremely weak.
Bone Douluo's face was pale as he remained unconscious.
Sword Douluo looked dispirited and could no longer stand. He raised a trembling hand and pointed at Ning Fengzhi. "Quick… quickly save him."
Flender and the others were deeply shocked and did not dare to hesitate.
"First, let's bring them back," Flender said urgently. He picked up Ning Fengzhi and rushed away.
Zhao Wuji carried the unconscious Bone Douluo.
"Help me up," Sword Douluo said.
Liu Erlong helped Sword Douluo up and walked toward the guest room.
When Sword Douluo and Liu Erlong reached the guest room door, Flender had already rushed back out.
"I'll go find a healing soul master." Before he even finished speaking, Flender's figure had already disappeared into the distance.
At this hour, very few students were awake. Aside from Flender and the other two, almost no one had noticed the sword light.
Liu Erlong helped Chen Xin into the room and had him lie down on one of the beds.
This was a large dormitory-style guest room with three beds placed in three directions.
Gu Rong had already been placed on another bed by Zhao Wuji.
Ning Fengzhi had still been somewhat conscious earlier, but he had now completely lost consciousness.
Liu Erlong's heart felt incredibly heavy. "Wuji, watch over them here. I'll go notify Xiaogang and Rongrong."
"Alright."
Liu Erlong rushed out. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Grandmaster hurrying over.
Although Grandmaster and Liu Erlong had not yet become intimate, they were already living in the same courtyard. Liu Erlong's earlier frantic exit had woken Grandmaster, who had rushed over.
"Erlong, what happened?" Grandmaster asked urgently.
Liu Erlong sighed. "See for yourself."
As she spoke, she led Grandmaster into the room.
The moment Grandmaster entered, he saw the extremely weak Chen Xin, the unconscious Gu Rong, and the miserable sight of Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi's arm appeared to have been torn apart by some kind of force; the severed area was charred black.
His once-handsome face, which had looked to be in its forties now appeared much older, with wrinkles covering it, making him look like a man in his sixties or seventies.
Grandmaster was horrified and asked again, "What exactly happened?"
"Ask them yourself. I'll go call Rongrong first," Liu Erlong said before rushing out.
During this period, Ning Rongrong had happened to return to Shrek Academy and had luckily avoided the disaster.
Liu Erlong felt immense sympathy in her heart, unsure how Ning Rongrong would react upon seeing this scene, how hard she would cry.
Not long after, Liu Erlong returned with a sleepy-eyed Ning Rongrong, whose pretty face still looked confused.
"Teacher Erlong, what exactly happened? Why is your expression so grave?" Ning Rongrong rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion.
Liu Erlong sighed and stood at the doorway. "Go in and see for yourself."
Ning Rongrong entered the room. The first thing she saw was Chen Xin sitting in meditation, his face full of weakness.
"Grandpa Sword, what happened to you?" Ning Rongrong cried out anxiously. Then she saw Gu Rong not far away.
Grandmaster, Flender, and Zhao Wuji were gathered around another bed. In front of them, a healing soul master was continuously releasing healing light.
Ning Rongrong's heart trembled violently, then began pounding wildly. A bad premonition rose within her.
"It can't be… It absolutely can't be." She murmured to herself as she rushed forward, pushing aside Grandmaster and Flender to squeeze through.
When she saw Ning Fengzhi, with one arm missing, his hair completely white, and his face dark, Ning Rongrong's vision went black. She felt the world spinning around her.
Grandmaster quickly supported her.
"Daddy… Daddy." Tears poured from Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes.
The healing soul master was an elderly man and a teacher at Shrek Academy. His cultivation had reached the Soul Emperor level.
Moments later, he stopped his skill and shook his head with a sigh.
"Teacher, what's wrong with my dad?" Ning Rongrong screamed hoarsely. She lost control and rushed to the bedside, throwing herself onto Ning Fengzhi as large teardrops continued to roll down.
The healing soul master sighed and said, "His life has been temporarily saved for now. However, Sect Leader Ning's body is severely damaged inside, and he has also been poisoned by an extremely terrifying toxin. I am powerless to do more. Without a more powerful healing soul master to treat him, I'm afraid he won't survive past today."
He did not say the rest out loud: Even if a higher-level soul master managed to save Ning Fengzhi's life, he would likely be crippled for the rest of his days.
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong could no longer endure such a heavy blow. Her vision went black and she fainted.
Grandmaster sighed. "Erlong, take Rongrong back to rest first."
Liu Erlong nodded and carried Ning Rongrong away.
Grandmaster continued, "Flender, please hurry and invite the best healing soul masters in Heaven Dou City. Try to find ones skilled in detoxification. It's fine to invite several. If you really can't find any, go to the palace and ask His Majesty the Emperor for help."
Flender's expression was grave as he rushed out once more.
Grandmaster turned to the healing-type teacher. "I'll trouble you to treat Senior Bone Douluo again."
The old man nodded. "We're all family. I'll do my best."
Gu Rong had only suffered heavy injuries and fallen unconscious. His cultivation was far higher than Ning Fengzhi's, so his condition was not as severe.
That was why Grandmaster and the others had chosen to save Ning Fengzhi, whose life was hanging by a thread, first.
Moments later, the old man stopped the treatment, and his expression eased slightly.
"Senior Bone Douluo's cultivation is profound. Although he was also poisoned, he is not in immediate danger for the time being. Once he wakes up, he should be able to suppress that deadly toxin himself."
The old man then walked over to Chen Xin and said respectfully, "Senior Sword Douluo, let me treat you as well."
Chen Xin nodded slightly. "Thank you for your trouble."
Several beams of healing light landed on Chen Xin, improving his complexion somewhat.
However, he had also been infected by Jiang Chen's corpse poison. The three of them had stayed inside Jiang Chen's corpse poison array for quite some time, and a considerable amount of toxin had entered their bodies.
What made him frown was that this toxin was unusually stubborn. Even his soul power found it difficult to purge; he could only temporarily suppress it.
If he did not suppress it, the toxin would gradually devour his body and slowly kill him.
Moreover, the strange gray mist from earlier had also devoured a large amount of his life essence. Despite having broken through to level ninety-seven, his current state probably could not withstand a casual strike from Yu Yuanzhen.
After sending the healing teacher back to rest, Grandmaster finally asked, "Senior Sword Douluo, what exactly happened?"
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is gone." These seven simple words caused the Grandmaster's and the others' hearts to shake violently. Their faces all fell into a daze.
