"Stella will be with you; intervene if needed. If you can handle it alone, she will stay put."
Damia still felt uneasy and raised an eyebrow, about to say something.
But when she looked up, she met the calm gaze of the black-haired young man.
Damia suddenly thought of something, paused, and eventually said nothing more.
Northwest of Black Snow Country, somewhere in the Snow Burial Mountain Range.
This was the Tiger Vein snatched by Su Yuan’s strategic maneuver and now served as the Great Flame’s A-12 vanguard base!
Walls mixed with a large amount of Level 4 Materials;
The most sensitive Star Energy Detectors;
Star Energy Cannons threatening enough to endanger Burning Sun Level;
Grandmaster Level Arrays...
With all these enhancements, this place had already become a steel fortress standing amidst the snow!
Now, with the Earth Qi surging again, the Great Flame Military Supervision Department swiftly moved north to reinforce the troops.
Currently, in this A-12 base, there was one general, two major generals, and four brigadier generals from the military, totaling seven individuals of Burning Sun Level.
Coupled with the base’s defenses, they could resist attacks from a dozen or so of Burning Sun Level, holding out for several days until support from the Black Snow Country or the Five Domains arrived!
At this moment, in a room somewhere in the base, Wenren Feng, who was assigned to the frontline, moving among various A-class bases, was meditating.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some noise outside the door.
It was a colonel who hurriedly arrived at the door and said something to the young envoy who came with Wenren Feng.
The young envoy was also shocked and quickly knocked on the door, bringing the colonel in.
The young envoy said, "Deputy, Major General Zhao is injured!"
The colonel anxiously said, "Wenren Imperial Envoy, Major General Zhao is seriously injured and unconscious. It’s severe, and General Cheng sent me to ask you to check it out!"
Wenren Feng opened his eyes and calmly nodded, "Let’s go."
The colonel secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although this Qilin Imperial expert was rather cold and kept people at a distance, his healing skill was indeed miraculous!
Ever since his arrival, unless it involved missing limbs, no matter how severe the injury, it seemed he could easily save someone.
Soon, the colonel led Wenren Feng into the military tent.
Upon entering, they saw Major General Zhao lying unconscious on the bed, his face pale and slightly blackened.
A large, bloody wound on his abdomen almost cut him in half, shredding even some internal organs. It seemed to be the claw mark of a fierce Star Beast.
If it weren’t for the non-human constitution of a Burning Sun expert, he probably wouldn’t have lasted until now.
At this moment, only General Cheng Pu and Vice Admiral He Hua were in the room, both quite anxious. Seeing Wenren Feng, their eyes lit up.
"Wenren Imperial Envoy, you’re finally here!" He Hua said anxiously.
Wenren Feng glanced at Major General Zhao and asked, "General Cheng, General He, what happened to Major General Zhao?"
Vice Admiral He said, "Here’s the situation: Old Zhao, as usual, went to patrol the northern mountains and didn’t return for a long time.
We went to check and found Old Zhao severely injured on the ground. Given these claw marks, we suspect it was an Extreme Shadow Ice Wolf from deep in the mountains."
"Then why didn’t that Extreme Shadow Ice Wolf eat him?" Wenren Feng asked.
"This..." Vice Admiral He frowned.
Indeed, Wenren Feng’s question was somewhat impolite, but it was a rather peculiar matter.
General Cheng Pu said, "When we arrived, there was still an intense aura of the Extreme Shadow Ice Wolf lingering. Given its keen perception, it might have sensed our approach and thus retreated."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Feng slightly nodded, not pursuing the matter further.
What Cheng Pu said was a rather forced yet plausible explanation.
Wenren Feng looked at the lying Major General Zhao, saying, "Then I’ll have to ask you both to step outside first."
Wenren Feng’s healing skills were exceptional, but he disliked having others present during treatment.
Vice Admiral He Hua hesitated, "Well... perhaps I could stay on the side to ensure not to disturb you?"
Others aside, Major General Zhao was a key military figure and He Hua’s friend after all... Newest update provided by novᴇlfire.net
Without supervision, He Hua felt a bit uneasy.
Wenren Feng said nothing but also made no objections.
Seeing this, General Cheng Pu patted He Hua on the shoulder and walked out, "Let’s go, Old He, staying here would only cause Wenren Imperial Envoy trouble."
He Hua sighed and then solemnly saluted Wenren Feng, "Wenren Imperial Envoy, I’ll leave Old Zhao in your capable hands!"
Wenren Feng nodded, "I will do my utmost."
After seeing Cheng Pu and He Hua out, Wenren Feng approached Major General Zhao.
After a brief examination, Wenren Feng raised his hand, where clusters of white plum blossoms manifested, beginning the healing process.
The white plum blossoms covered the wound, then seeped into the skin like melted snow.
In no time, icy patterns appeared on the wound, gradually healing and scarring over...
After a while, Major General Zhao slowly opened his eyes.
"Wenren... Imperial Envoy?"
Wenren Feng asked, "Major General Zhao, how are you feeling?"
Major General Zhao quickly regained full consciousness, looked at his now-healed wound, and couldn’t help but show joy.
"It seems alright now. Thank you, Wenren Imperial Envoy!"
Wenren Feng nodded, "The injury is mostly resolved, though your Yuan Qi is a bit lacking. Resting for three days should suffice."
"Alright, thank you. If it weren’t for that Extreme Shadow Ice Wolf’s ambush, I..."
Before Major General Zhao could finish speaking, Wenren Feng had already turned aside to wash his hands.
Indeed, Wenren Feng had a compulsion.
After battles or treatments, regardless of the presence of dirt or impurities, he would wash his hands whenever he touched someone else’s body, or he would feel uncomfortable.
Watching Wenren Feng’s back, a strange gleam flashed in Major General Zhao’s eyes.
Slowly opening his right hand, Major General Zhao seemed to grasp something thin and long.
Then, with a flick of his right hand, the invisible object flew silently toward the back of Wenren Feng, who was washing his hands!
At that moment, a white plum blossom happened to block the object.
The white plum blossom quivered slightly, making a sound akin to metal clashing.
Major General Zhao’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately raised his hand to seal, and a layer of dark Spirit Light spread out in all directions.
The entire space trembled slightly, then seemed as if nothing had happened.
With a double "clang," something fell to the floor.
Wenren Feng bent down to pick it up, revealing a darkly-patterned black needle about a foot long.
"This needle contains Bone-Eroding Poison; even a Burning Sun would suffer great damage to Yuan Qi if struck.
Additionally, sneaking in here and transmuting into someone else..."
Wenren Feng crushed the black needle in his palm with a flash of white light, then looked at Major General Zhao:
"If I’m not mistaken... Qiguang Truth Secret Society, Hermit?"
Major General Zhao curled his lips, and dark light flowed over him, transforming him into a slender young man wearing a white cloak in an instant.
"That’s right, it’s me." The slender young man smiled slightly, "Truth Secret Society, Hermit, Damia."
