Chapter 361: Chapter 360: The Fire Elemental Minion Made the Move, What Does That Have to Do With Me, Jiang Zuo?
When Su Qi saw Jiang Zuo lying on the ground just like that, her mind went blank.
If Jiang Zuo had left her just like that, she didn’t know what she would do.
At that moment, she felt as if the sky was falling.
Jiang Zuo knew he had been reckless this time, but the opportunity was too rare to pass up.
That person was constantly targeting the misfortune afflicting Su Qi. Jiang Zuo couldn’t stand to let someone like that continue to run rampant.
Even if it meant getting severely injured, he had to teach his opponent the meaning of pain.
Jiang Zuo comforted Su Qi, then glanced around at their surroundings.
He found himself sitting on Chaos, which was speeding across the surface of the sea.
Jiang Zuo asked in surprise, "Where are we going?"
Su Qi was still hugging Jiang Zuo tightly. "I was so scared back then. I just wanted to take you back to my master, so I have no idea where we are now."
Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "Then how am I okay?"
’He knew the extent of his injuries. It was impossible for him to have recovered this quickly unless he’d had the energy for Alchemy.’
"It was an Elixir Pill from my master. I gave it to you." That was a pill her master had gone to great lengths to obtain.
It was said that no matter how severe the injury—even if only a head remained—as long as a single breath was left, this Elixir Pill could restore a person to their original state.
Even the Saintess didn’t possess such an Elixir Pill.
It was incomparably precious.
But as she fed it to Jiang Zuo, Su Qi didn’t feel the slightest bit of regret.
In fact, she wished she’d had a few more to give him.
Jiang Zuo said nothing, instead focusing on the medicinal power coursing through his body.
Finally, he was certain.
’It was a Shaping Pill.’
A pill capable of regenerating flesh and blood from bare bone, completely restoring the body.
Its value far surpassed that of a pile of Ninth-Grade Spirit Stones.
It was a priceless treasure one could only find by chance.
He was quite surprised that Su Qi had such an Elixir Pill.
’Still, what a waste.’
’If I had just been allowed to recover a bit, I could have used a Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone to concoct some Spiritual Liquid. I would have been fine in two or three days.’
Su Qi remained in Jiang Zuo’s arms for a long time, composing herself.
Finally, she pulled away and said angrily, "Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t go fight the Element?"
Jiang Zuo nodded. "I didn’t lay a hand on the Element. Not once.
My Elemental Minion did."
Lines of exasperation seemed to form on Su Qi’s face. It was as if he was just messing with her.
’Is there a difference?’
’There’s a huge difference,’ Jiang Zuo thought.
Su Qi immediately balled her fists. But then she hesitated. Jiang Zuo had just recovered from his severe injuries; she couldn’t bring herself to hit him.
So, she just turned her head away, fuming.
Jiang Zuo sat down beside her. "Look, there was someone in there who meant you harm. I had to go in.
And I beat him. I discovered that I’m invincible on the Elemental Level."
’Su Qi wasn’t listening. If he was really invincible, how could he have gotten so injured?’
’But she already knew. That Array was actually meant to be used against Elements.’
’If only she had known sooner...’
’Then again, it wouldn’t have mattered. Her husband would have gone in anyway.’
There was someone inside who meant her harm. Jiang Zuo would have gone in no matter what.
’If their positions were reversed, she would have done the same.’
Still, she was angry.
At this moment, the only thing Jiang Zuo could do was pull Su Qi into a hug.
’His serious injuries had let him off the hook this time. But it had made Su Qi cry. Has it been years since she last cried?’
’I’ll have to avoid this in the future.’
*******
Meanwhile, in the mountains of East Water Island, the survivors all sat weakly on the ground.
"We survived! My god, that was terrifying."
"Ah, I really thought I was about to die."
Indeed, the Array had just been breached. They hadn’t been able to hold it back.
Fortunately, the force had dissipated as quickly as it came, vanishing after it broke through the Array. Otherwise, they all would have died.
So, countless people felt the relief of having survived a catastrophe.
Shui Luo was also relieved. Although East Water Island was ultimately destroyed, the outcome was still better than what she had initially feared.
At least its destruction was an earth-shattering event; it had been a worthy end.
Hiller asked, "Ma’am, where do we go now? Find another place to start over?
And avoid these Elements?"
Shui Luo had been thinking the same thing. She began to say, "Let’s go back and discuss it. After all, East Water Island is already..."
Suddenly, Shui Luo stopped speaking, a look of pleasant surprise spreading across her face.
Before Hiller could ask what was wrong, Shui Luo spoke aloud, "You’ve decided not to take revenge on humanity anymore?"
Shui Luo was addressing the Elemental Spirits. Indeed, she had just received a communication from them.
The Elemental Spirits were willing to cooperate again, to form a friendly alliance and promise never to turn on them so easily again.
In response to Shui Luo’s question, the Elemental Spirits had replied: *Those humans are too terrifying. We wouldn’t dare hold a grudge.*
Shui Luo could hear the awe in their words.
It was the awe of a lesser being in the face of a superior power.
Moreover, Shui Luo had caught a key phrase: *those humans*.
’In other words, it wasn’t just one person.’
’So, was it the one from the Holy Land who took care of it, or the one with my student?’
Shui Luo didn’t know the answer, but she knew she had to thank the Holy Land this time regardless.
She would need to prepare a grand gift and go visit Yue Xi at the Holy Land.
Soon, Liu Yiyi also received a call from Shui Luo. Afterward, she turned to Chi Xue Child and the others. "The problem’s solved," she announced. "The Elemental Spirits are suing for peace."
Blade Master Hai Bian gazed at the surrounding area, which had been submerged by the sea. "But the price was steep indeed."
The price was indeed a bit high. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t have been nearly so bad.
Even Jiang Zuo hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.
At that moment, Mo Yan suddenly spoke up. "Let me ask you all something. We initially thought one of the three powers was Boss Po Xiao. But did any of you notice? When the lightning appeared, those figures seemed to dissipate."
Chi Xue Child, Liuyue Xue, and the others all stared at Mo Yan. ’So, is this guy going to prepare another Clothes Tomb?’
Mo Yan gave a sheepish grin. "You guys get it. Better safe than sorry, right?"
Liuyue Xue said, her face expressionless, "What a disgusting... expression."
Liu Yiyi ignored Mo Yan and said, "I doubt anything happened to Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. What past incident was ever worse than this?
Fellow Daoist Po Xiao wouldn’t throw his life away on something he wasn’t confident about.
Maybe none of those three were Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. He might have gotten a triple kill."
It was more than a triple kill. All the Sea Monsters were dead, and East Water Island was nearly destroyed.
But it was true that this one move had solved everything. For East Water Island, it wasn’t a loss at all.
The Element crisis was over, and so was the Nether Sea Monster crisis.
All that remained was to reclaim the land and rebuild.
Chu Qing’s father also found it hard to comprehend. ’Have the times changed?’
’And is this man really just an ordinary Loose Cultivator?’
With his level of knowledge and his methods, he didn’t believe for a second that an ordinary Loose Cultivator could accomplish such feats.
He had to be from some hidden faction, or the disciple of a Great Power.
That was the only way to explain how special he was.
But there was still one thing he couldn’t understand.
’A newcomer like him was actually married?’
’Why?’
’How is that possible?’
’What kind of monstrous genius gets married when they’re only at Tier One or Tier Two?’
’Isn’t that just setting up a stumbling block for yourself?’
