Primordial Cultivator-Chapter 272 - Saint Qi

Yang Wei continued to spend the next few hours injecting his spiritual qi on Zhu Wenqian's back to stabilize her condition.

"Just a little bit more and Zhu Wenqian should wake up soon." Yang Wei muttered in a low voice.

Meanwhile, the Misty Forest had turned into a chaotic place with multiple people gathered in one location.

"Hmph, the Purple Scorpion Sect and Feather Wind Sect are indeed great sects." Elder Chen Xue shouted as he showed a cold expression.

"I have ordered them to scout and relay the information back to us yet it had been more than 3 hours without a single reply," he added.

The other disciples kept quiet as they waited for Elder Chen Xue to finish ranting.

Although it seemed like Elder Chen Xue was enraged, none of them were dumb enough to believe his act.

After all, Elder Chen Xue had purposely grouped the worst and notorious sect together.

Why would he be expecting any information relay if he planned on having an excuse to push them to their death?

Sometime later, Elder Chen Xue finished his ranting as he began to announce that they would now head in.

"Remember, Tang Xin's group are notorious and they have a deep understanding of the Misty Forest." Elder Chen Xue said.

And he continued, "Hence, we will proceed with caution and everyone must listen to my command. Is everyone clear?"

"Clear."

Elder Chen Xue nodded his head when the disciples replied as he turned around and began leading the way.

Meanwhile, back inside the cave, Yang Wei was sweating profusely when Zhu Wenqian seemed to be absorbing his spiritual qi.

"Senior… is this normal?" Yang Wei asked the mysterious voice as he felt his spiritual qi depleting.

Fan Ping took a few moments before answering Yang Wei's concern. "It's normal for your spiritual qi to be depleting at an alarming rate."

"After all, Zhu Wenqian's body contains Saint Qi," he added.

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"What is Saint Qi?" Yang Wei then asked Fan Ping. It was his first time hearing a different kind of spiritual qi.

"Saint Qi is a unique type of qi, exclusively for the Saint Race." Fan Ping replied. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

"Saint Race? I heard Zhu Wenqian mentioned before that she was a member of the Saint Race but what exactly is the Saint Race?"

"Saint Race… they are similar to us humans but their strength and capability are superior to humans. The cause of this is due to the disparity between the qi we absorbed from heaven."

Yang Wei was dumbfounded to learn about such a race. 'Saint Race… Saint Qi… just how dominating are they?'

Sometime later, Yang Wei stopped injecting his spiritual qi onto Zhu Wenqian when she began to move.

Zhu Wenqian wrinkled her brows as she shook her head repeatedly before opening her eyes in a daze.

Her eyes soon met with Yang Wei and Zhu Wenqian glanced at him for a brief moment.

Her aura suddenly increased when she recalled the humiliation she had suffered because of the person in front of him.

"How dare you! You still have the nerve to show your face near me?" Zhu Wenqian roared as she raised her hand and tried to attack Yang Wei.

However, a tear-jerking headache pain occurred in her head as she halted her movement.

Zhu Wenqian grunted in pain as she held a bittersweet smile. "Is this my retribution?" Zhu Wenqian mumbled as she recalled the contract was still active for another 10 years.

Within these 10 years, not only could she not harm the man who had her duped but she must also protect him.

The little bit of headache couldn't even amount to the pain she felt currently.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei was dumbfounded by her action as he was sure he was going to die from her strike if she hadn't stopped midway.

"What's wrong with her, Senior?" Yang Wei asked Fan Ping.

"You can thank me later on because that little lass is now your bodyguard for 10 years." Fan Ping's voice resounded but quickly subsided, almost like he didn't wish to talk anymore.

Zhu Wenqian held a resentful gaze at Yang Wei as she growled. "Just wait Yang Wei. 10 years would pass in the blink of an eye and at that time, I'll make sure to boil your body in a cauldron as I cook you alive."

Yang Wei shuddered briefly at the threat she made.

"Do you really have to be this ruthless?" Yang Wei said as he stood up. "I know we started off on the wrong foot but now that we are connected through a contract… Why don't we get to know each other better?"

Zhu Wenqian sneered as she glanced at Yang Wei up and down.

"You-- a mere Foundation Core realm wished to know this queen better?" Zhu Wenqian started laughing as she spit some of her saliva out.

"You can dream on and wait for your death in 10 years," she added.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he decided to ignore her. "Senior, can you tell me what had happened during my unconscious state?" He asked.

"The Misty Forest atmosphere had changed and I feared there is a large array formation surrounding the Misty Forest as of now." Fan Ping said.

Zhu Wenqian twitched her brow slightly as she began to sense around the Misty Forest.

Her face lit up when she recognized the large array formation.

"It's a large teleportation array." Zhu Wenqian exclaimed happily.

"Teleportation array?" Yang Wei stuttered as he wondered why a teleportation array would be placed around the Misty Forest.

Suddenly, Yang Wei's face paled when he recalled the Envoy would soon arrive in the Phoenix Kingdom. As he continued to think further about the timing, Yang Wei's face turned ugly as he finally figured out Tang Xin's plan.

"Tang Xin never meant to sneak out through the passage from the envoy." Yang Wei muttered in shock.

"He wanted to teleport away by utilizing the fact that the envoy would cause a disturbance in the space passage during their arrival to the Phoenix Kingdom."
