I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?-Chapter 412 - 232: Encounter with Wen Yong, Earth Spirit Jade Marrow_2

Chapter 412: Chapter 232: Encounter with Wen Yong, Earth Spirit Jade Marrow_2

Wen Yong pulls out a portrait with a puzzled look.

On his flight, a loose cultivator almost mistook him for the wanted man.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, striking and killing his pursuer, and snatching away this portrait.

“This guy is in even deeper trouble than I am. I’m only being pursued by the Dai family, whereas you’re hunted by the Jade God Sect and Su family. I hope you manage to escape.”

Looking at the youth in the portrait, Wen Yong feels a kinship with a fellow being in the same predicament.

Staring into the dark tunnel, Wen Yong’s determination solidified, “Dai family, I, Wen Yong, will come back for you.”

His face is grim, this tunnel extends for thousands of miles and hides many dangers.

And since he is injured, his power only remains at fifty to sixty percent. Whether he could successfully escape through this tunnel now depends on luck.

“Cough cough!”

Wen Yong coughed, the sound echoing throughout the tunnel.

He got up leaning on a knife, crushed the portrait in his hand, and looked into the dark tunnel, his eyes unwavering, face solemn.

“I, Wen Yong, will not die here.”

Upon successfully entering this tunnel, his chance of survival increased to eighty percent.

This tunnel was something he discovered amidst the remains of a martial artist who had passed away.

This tunnel was his only hope for escaping this time.

Otherwise, hoping to escape the chase of the Refining God Heavenly Man would be almost impossible.

Wen Yong held himself alert, moving forward one step at a time.

“Didn’t you say this tunnel was hidden?”

Xu Yan, watching the figure of Wen Yong in front, asked through a sound transmission.

Yu Xiaolong also looked puzzled, saying, “That’s odd, I just discovered this tunnel by chance. How could he know about it?

“And look at his pitiful state, it’s like he’s on the run.

“Is he another loose cultivator who offended the Spirit Sect or some powerful family?”

Xu Yan silently followed behind Wen Yong. This man posed no danger, and his strength wasn’t impressive- only a mid-level Heavenly Man.

“We’re both on the run, but my trouble’s much bigger than his. Even the Refining God Heavenly Man is after me.”

Xu Yan sighed in his heart.

Since he’d encountered someone travelling the same path who was weaker than him and heavily injured, having a travelling companion on this long, deep, and dark tunnel journey could be a good thing.

Thus, he stepped forward and smacked Wen Yong’s shoulder.

Wen Yong was almost scared out of his wits as an unexpected hand landed on his shoulder. Could it be a Refining God Heavenly Man from the Dai family?

“Dai family, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Wen Yong roared in defiance, his aura surging, he exerted his full strength, slashing his knife backwards.

Bang!

His attack was easily blocked, and a voice rang out, “Brother, are you fleeing?”

Wen Yong was taken aback, under the dim light, he saw the figure behind him was a youth who seemed vaguely familiar.

“Cough cough…”

For a moment, Wen Yong began to cough, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The sudden exertion had worsened his injuries.

“Who are you?”

Collecting his senses, Wen Yong’s face darkened, the unnoticeable pat on his shoulder was a show of the real difference in their strengths, indicating he shouldn’t attempt anything dangerous.

“A person pursued by the Spirit Sect and noble families.”

Xu Yan replied with a smile.

“Is it you?”

Wen Yong suddenly remembered the youth from the portrait.

“You recognize me?”

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow.

“The portrait!”

Wen Yong whispered, his face turning even paler as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

“Brother, your injuries seem real serious.”

Xu Yan pondered, wondering whether he should give him a healing pill.

However, they weren’t familiar with each other, the pills were precious, and while the man was seriously injured, his life was not in immediate danger.

So, he gave up the idea of giving him a healing pill.

Then, the two of them journeyed together through the tunnel. Despite both being hunted, they kept an eye on each other, staying cautious.

“Brother Wen, why are you being pursued?”

Xu Yan asked curiously.

Upon mentioning this, Wen Yong’s face showed injustice, as if he’d found someone to confide in, “You know about the Dai family’s beloved child, right? She is dead!

“Everyone thinks I killed her, but I didn’t. I was just angry and said some reckless things. Who knew she would actually get killed? Now everyone thinks I’m the killer.

“Even my friends don’t believe me!”

Xu Yan patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying: “I can see why you’re being pursued. Killing a beloved child of a prestigious family is a serious offense. Brother Wen, it’s lucky that you’ve made it this far.”

“But she wasn’t just any beloved child, she was Dai Yingying of the Dai Family, the betrothed of the Second Prince of Zheng Country. Everyone thinks it was me who killed her, but it wasn’t.”

Wen Yong looked badly wronged as he grabbed Xu Yan’s arm, “You have to believe me, I didn’t kill Dai Yingying!”

Xu Yan was somewhat stunned.

Dai Yingying?

Wasn’t she the one he himself killed? How did it become Wen Yong’s deed?

Now he remembered. This unfortunate guy once made a tough vow, declaring that he would kill Dai Yingying even if it cost him his life, for the sake of the lower-level Loose Cultivators.

It was because of this that he got the blame!

Gripping Wen Yong’s shoulder seriously, Xu Yan sincerely said, “Brother Wen, I trust you. There’s no way you could have killed Dai Yingying. Even if no one else in this world believes you, I do!”

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wen Yong was on the verge of tears. Finally, there was someone who believed him!

“Thank you, thank you, Brother Xu. You’re the only one who believes in me!”

A true friend indeed!

At that moment, Wen Yong felt he had found a true companion, one he could trust with his life!

“Of course, Brother Wen, you are an honest man. I don’t believe you would ever lie!”

Xu Yan said earnestly.

He had been the one to kill Dai Yingying, and Wen Yong ended up taking the blame. He indeed owed him an apology.

As such, Xu Yan took out a small bottle, intending to give some Healing Pills to Wen Yong.

“Brother Xu, you are my first and greatest friend in this life!”

Wen Yong declared solemnly.

Xu Yan patted his shoulder, sighing sympathetically, “Brother Wen, you truly have a kind and genuine heart. I can see that your injuries are grave. Here is some Healing Medicine that can help you recover swiftly!”

He then poured two Healing Pills into his palm.

“Thank you, Brother Xu!”

Wen Yong picked up one pill and immediately put it in his mouth.

The pill dissolved as soon as he put it in his mouth, spreading a warm sensation throughout his body.

His injuries remarkably started to heal slowly.

“What… what is this!”

Wen Yong widened his eyes in astonishment, “What kind of Healing Medicine is this? It works like a miracle!”

“It’s just an ordinary pill. You should keep a few on hand for emergencies.”

Xu Yan put some Healing Pills in a jade bottle and handed it to Wen Yong.”

“I can’t accept it, these are too valuable!”

Wen Yong shook his head.

The miraculous effect of this Healing Medicine must have made it quite expensive.

They were both Loose Cultivators, and it couldn’t have been easy for Xu Yan to get this miraculous Healing Medicine.

“Brother Wen, don’t be polite. Just keep it!”

Xu Yan insisted and handed the pills to Wen Yong.

“But…”

Wen Yong, steeling himself, “Brother Xu has been incredibly generous, giving me precious Healing Medicine, and has shown such trust and understanding in me. How can I not reciprocate?”

With this thought, Wen Yong said earnestly, “I have no way to repay you for your kindness, Brother Xu. At the end of this tunnel, there is a hidden place with a Mine of Spirit Jade. Let me give it to you!”

“Mine of Spirit Jade?”

Yu Xiaolong poked his head out from Xu Yan’s sleeve and excitedly asked.

“What’s this?”

Wen Yong was startled. A Tier 4 spirit beast?

Xu Yan patted Yu Xiaolong’s head and said, “This little snake is my tame pet, don’t worry, Brother Wen.”

Wen Yong heaved a sigh of relief.

“How do you know there’s a Mine of Spirit Jade at the end of the tunnel? Even I don’t know!”

Yu Xiaolong was curious.

“I found the record on the body of a fallen Martial Artist.”

Wen Yong didn’t hide anything.

“The Spirit Jade is too valuable!”

Xu Yan shook his head.

“However valuable it is, it can’t compare to the friendship between me and Brother Xu. I hereby gift this treasure to you, Brother Xu!”

Wen Yong spoke solemnly.

“Well… thank you, Brother Wen!”

Xu Yan expressed his gratitude.

“Brother Xu, no need to be too polite. The Refining God Heavenly Man of the Dai Family is after me. Whether I can escape Yuzhou is uncertain. Even if I do escape Yuzhou, whether I can evade the assassins is still unknown.

“That being the case, if I keep the treasure, it would just be wasted!”

Wen Yong expressed his remorse and sadness.

Xu Yan finally understood that the Refining God Heavenly Man he’d encountered hadn’t been there to assassinate him, but to chase after Wen Yong on behalf of the Dai Family.

He felt a little uncomfortable. He was the one who killed Dai Yingying, and yet Wen Yong took the blame.

For a moment, he was too embarrassed to tell Wen Yong the whole truth.

Even if he did tell Wen Yong the truth, it wouldn’t change the fact that Wen Yong was being hunted. Even if the Dai Family knew the truth, with their domineering attitude as a noble family, they would not allow Wen Yong to live.

“Brother Wen, I have a technique to hide my presence, which could be helpful to you.”

Since Wen Yong was giving him the Spirit Jade, Xu Yan decided to teach him a technique for hiding his whereabouts in order to help him escape danger.
