Uncle-Master, Please Help Us - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Treating the Demon King

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this exact moment, the powerhouses of Wind Thunder Sect felt as if the face of the sect was being rubbed harshly through the mud!
“The so-called ‘close to death’ implies that the Immortal Guardian Sect’s current circumstances are not good. It’s considered an admission to their weakness…
“The subsequent line ‘won’t have the chance to eat again’, I don’t have to explain this, everyone should understand…
“He’s threatening us. He who is down fears no fall, he’s saying that we can perish together anytime…”
When the anger in his heart somewhat subsided, Qin Wentian tightly clenched his fists. “It seems that Yao Zhan has been discovered!”
“That’s right!
“The other party must have sung this out loud intentionally to let Yao Zhan hear it. It’s a form of warning and also a deterrence.”
Dead silence reigned throughout the room.
Immortal Guardian Sect ought to be crystal clear about Wind Thunder Sect’s capabilities after having fought each other for many years.
Despite this, their Little Uncle-Master still dared to be so arrogant. The elders pondered for quite a while, and they could only see a single answer… the other party must be extremely strong—enough to deal with each and every one of them here!
“The Silver-Winged Azure Wyrm and I were like brothers. I must avenge him!” The elder dressed in green clenched his teeth tightly.
“We cannot be reckless! Let Yao Zhan continue his observation. We must verify this Little Uncle-Master’s actual cultivation level before we make a decision!” Qin Wentian said.
“He has been discovered already. How can he possibly investigate any further? I want to go there personally!” The elder in green stood up with a determined look in his eyes.
Qin Wentian frowned.
This elder’s name was Mo Feng.
Even though his capabilities could not compare to Qin Wentian, he was still at the later stages of the Immortal Temple Realm. He was a true centerpiece of the Wind Thunder Sect. If he met with any mishap, the sect’s overall ability would plummet.
“Don’t worry…
“If this Little Uncle-Master’s cultivation strength is higher than the Grand Master Realm. I will absolutely never be reckless! But… if he happens to be weaker than me, even if it means risking my life. I will get my revenge for Azure Wyrm!”
Elder Mo Feng sneered.
Seeing such an attitude from him, Qin Wentian knew that discouraging the former would no longer work.
He pondered for a moment and said, “According to what I know, Wu Yuan of the Immortal Guardian Sect has a Firefly Silkworm Cloth…
“When put on, it can conceal one’s cultivation strength.
“Even a powerhouse at the peak of the Grand Master realm would find it difficult to probe one’s cultivation strength. So how about this?”
With a turn of his wrist, a sphere-like object appeared in his palm.
“This is a demonic core left behind by a phantom beast…
“You can produce an illusion attack on the enemy just by injecting your true essence into it.
“If the other party is intentionally concealing his strength, and you are unable to get an accurate gauge of how strong he is, you can use this demonic core.”
“If he is able to return to his senses within ten breaths, it means he has reached the early stages of the Grand Master Realm; eight breaths, mid-stages of Grand Master, six breaths, latter stages, and so on.”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Elder Mo Feng cupped his fists.
A demonic core that could probe a powerhouse at the Grand Master Realm could be considered one of the most precious treasures in the Wind Thunder Sect.
Bringing it out directly served to show the Sect Leader’s trust in him.
With the Sect Leader having made a decision, no further words were exchanged as Elder Mo Feng used Sword Kinesis Flight and directly flew in the direction of the Immortal Guardian Sect.
…
By the fire, Su Yin looked like he was still unsatisfied.
“It tastes good!”
He was truly in the cultivation world.
Even a random mudskipper tasted so good that he was so overjoyed to the extent that he couldn’t help but sing a song from Flirting Scholar as he ate.
Although he felt that the meat didn’t taste quite the same fish meat, he had never left the Forbidden Grounds, and never truly saw the various animals of this world, so he wasn’t surprised if there was some mutation.
“Old Man, where did you catch this mudskipper from? Bring back a few more of them later. I’m going to make some soup with them or bake them with salt, steamed, stir-fried with garlic… We can cook them in several more ways!”
Su Yin said.
“…” The corners of the old tortoise’s mouth twitched.
This so-called mudskipper was delivered here by that ghost-like fellow.
Now that he had been beaten to death by Big Black, where am I supposed to go to find more?
“All of you can have the remaining food, I’m going to rest now!”
Knowing that the animals couldn’t speak, so it was impossible for them to respond to him. Su Yin tossed the rest of the meat skewers over to them. Then, he stretched his body and returned to his room to rest.
He still had to continue studying.
In any case, strength was the right way to live in this world. Considering the Immortal Guardian Sect’s situation, they would be annihilated sooner or later. Only when he was strong enough would he be able to survive when disaster struck.
Su Yin continued to study the manuals that Chen Yu had sent over for four hours, but realized that he still couldn’t cultivate them. He was left without a choice but to put them down. It seemed that he could only wait for daybreak so he could find someone to answer his questions.
…
While Su Yin was studying cultivation techniques, the three pets by the fire were extremely anxious.
Master wants more winged demonic beasts, but… the person who gifted them that mudskipper was dead… where would we go to get more?
“If there’s no other way, we’ll dig him out for a look! Perhaps… we can still resuscitate him!”
After a long pause, the parrot suggested with a conflicted look.
The donkey faltered for a moment and it said with uncertainty. “He’s burned to that extent, can he still be saved?
I’ve personally turned him into charcoal using the flame that I made.
Could he still be brought back to life?
The parrot thought for a moment and said, “You also kicked him quite ruthlessly the last time, didn’t he live too?”
“You’re right! Even though we have intelligence now and are somewhat stronger. We have never cultivated before after all. We must still be far weaker than true cultivators. After all, even though that fellow’s previous injuries appeared to be so severe, his organs must’ve been fine.”
After some thought, the donkey firmly believed that this was the case.
The donkey also found it strange how that ghost-like fellow recovered so fast after only a single day. Now that he thought about it, it must’ve been because he had been too weak.
With mere superficial wounds, he naturally recovered after a day of recuperation.
The three came to the garden once more, then they soon dug out the Nirvana Demon King who was thoroughly covered in the stink of manure.
“He has indeed recovered a little…”
After staring for a while, all three beasts were wide-eyed.
Despite looking like charcoal from top to bottom, the exposed muscles of the fellow before them had already recovered their elasticity. They could even subtly hear the sound of his heart beating and his blood flowing.
He was actually still alive!
He did not die even after being burnt for so long, he was indeed a cultivator—how terrifying!
“Find a way to wake him up and ask where he had caught that mudskipper demon from!” The parrot let out a sigh of relief and said, “Then, we’ll have him go catch some more.”
“All right! But…”
Nodding, the old tortoise then looked over to the parrot in confusion. “All of us don’t know how to heal, how can we wake him up?”
“This…”
The parrot was stumped too.
They were just animals.
They had no medical skills, nor did they know how to treat someone.
Getting this fellow to regain his consciousness probably wasn’t that simple.
“Actually…
“Our aim is to wake him up and make him spill the location as to where he got the mudskipper from! We don’t need to treat him!”
A huge head stretched over and the donkey said with a look of vigilance. “Moreover, if we really treated his injuries, what would we do if that fellow wants to eat us again?”
“Uh…” The parrot and the old tortoise nodded.
The first time this burnt fellow saw them, he had expressed with certainty that he wanted to eat them.
If he really were to recover and he still had that desire in him to eat them, how would they resist him then?
“But how can we make him regain his consciousness without treating him?” The parrot asked.
After some thought, the donkey said, “Back when I used to pull the mill, I once passed out from exhaustion. In the end, I was forcefully lashed using a whip till I sobered up. This fellow is about the same as me back then. Say… can we wake him up if we use the whip and lashed him hard?”
“This…”
The parrot was a little unsure. It cocked its head and looked over to the old tortoise who was standing not far away from them. Among the three beasts, it was the wisest and most experienced one.
“I’ve lived for a long time and I’ve been through a lot.
“I think that…”
After deliberating for a moment, the old tortoise’s deep voice sounded. “This idea… is excellent!”
