The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

Chapter 288 285- Returning To The Courtyard



Li Shen entered the courtyard without alerting anyone. Immediately he could smell a strong scent of blood as he entered.

His heart shook.

The front gate had been smashed to bits, and the formation surrounding the courtyard was forcefully destroyed by someone.

Li Shen moved to the restricted area but his heart dropped to the pit of his stomach at what he saw.

A long slash that destroyed the wall separating the courtyard was seen. Its size was massive and as it reach the end it landed on a building nearby destroying it.

Li Shen traced it back to the training grounds.

The slash was pulsating with terrifying Blade Intent, making him realize this was Mu Fan’s Blade Will.

As he reached closer to the training grounds he saw more damage to the courtyard.

The ground was scorched along with the cobblestone tiles destroyed. Li Shen sensed various Daoist Magic spells of the different elements.

‘Yang Su…’

He also sensed the aura of Fang Chen and Fei Yin’s powers as well.

With a quick movement, he wasted no time entering the training grounds.

Lihua, Fang Chen, Fei Yin were standing over a bloodied Mu Fan, with Li Wen knelt down next to him.

Jun was off to the side attending to a pale face Yang Su, that had blood at the corner of his lips.

Tai retracted his ability and sensing the presence of someone, everyone asides from Yang Su and Mu Fan became tense ready for a fight.

However, when their eyes land on Li Shen’s mountain of a figure, a sense of familiarity came from him.

“Master!”

Jun was the first to recognize him.

“Faction Leader!”

The others soon called out.

They let out sighs of relief when they saw him, but they looked at his bloody appearance with hesitant looks.

Li Shen’s face held a solemn expression as he walked forward. His eye darted to a damaged building that had someone lying inside. His body was split in half showcasing his internal organs. He saw that this was where the Blade Intent started.

Another damaged building was nearby that had another cultivator inside.

“What happened when I was away?”

Li Shen asked as he came up to them. He placed Fuangu to one side and remove the rags covering his face before moving to Mu Fan.

He saw that his left arm was missing up to his elbow, its stump was covered in bloody bandages.

“Mu Fan-He used his Blade Will to defeat that late-stage Core Formation Realm but lost his arm in the process. Yang Su as well, he…”

Fang Chen couldn’t continue, he clenched his fist and lower his head in shame.

“I couldn’t do anything to help them. I was so weak I had to watch them as they sacrifice their lives trying to defeat that demonic cultivator.”

Fang Chen’s heart was in turmoil and he felt completely useless. It reminded him of his Master sacrificing himself so he could escape and he didn’t like it. He didn’t like the feeling of watching people he care for, fight for his sake without being able to help them.

If only he hadn\'t been stubborn to form all nine Divine Platforms, he could have reached a cultivation realm where he could help them so they didn\'t have to make such harsh sacrifices.

Fang Chen was overwhelmed by emotion and it got to him, tears started to slide down his cheeks. Fei Yin who was next to him placed his hand on his lowered head to comfort him. He had hardly ever seen Fang Chen show emotions much less cry, this had really affected him.

Li Shen checked on Mu Fan and saw that his meridians were damaged trying to channel the power of his Blade Will. His internal organs were in a similar state but the worse of his injuries was his arm.

Li Wen said.

"Young Master, it\'s my fault, I was unable to protect them."

Even though Li Wen said that, Li Shen new that wasn\'t the case. He was likely busy fighting with the other cultivator to properly pay attention to them. And his puppets were destroyed in his battle previously with Xian so he was not in the position to spare any attention to them.

Li Shen looked at Mu Fan\'s arm and knew what had happened.

Mu Fan sacrificed his entire left arm to channel his Blade Will. He was smart not to use his right arm which was his dominant hand.

Li Shen moved to Yang Su who sat up and looked at him, his fiery red hair and pupils was lacking in luster as usual.

“Master…”

Yang Su went to say but Li Shen cut him off.

“Don’t say anything.”

He then knelt and place his hand on his shoulder. His Divine Will entered his body to examine him and what he saw caused Li Shen to release a sigh internally.

After, he stood up.

“I’m sorry Master.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

What Li Shen saw was that Yang Su’s Earth Sea Qi was missing. He had formed Qi Seas for his fire, water, earth, wind, and lightning element.

“To allow Mu Fan to use his Blade Will, I combusted my Earth Qi Sea to increase my strength, I didn’t see any other way.”

“If you didn’t who knows what would have happened to the others?”

Li Shen patted Yang Su’s head, however, he was confused about something.

“Were you the only one to hold of that late Core Formation realm cultivator?”

Yang Su was strong, extremely stronger than what his Sea Expansion realm cultivation reflected, but even if he combusted one of his Qi Seas it couldn’t push his cultivation to go toe-to-toe with someone in the late Core Formation realm.

Yang Su shook his head and said.

“Fei Yin helped.”

Li Shen hearing that, quickly turn to Fei Yin who looked relatively alright compared to the others. Li Shen approached him and Fei Yin raised his hand from Fang Chen’s head.

Fang Chen and the others all looked at him.

They were all so preoccupied with Mu Fan and Yang Su that they haven’t even thought to check on Fei Yin. He looked fine but fighting a Core Formation Realm cultivator with his Late stage Foundation realm was suicide, even if it was only for a brief moment.

Fei Yin saw everyone’s attention on him and he smile before saying.

“I’m fine, we should focus more on brother Fang Chen and brother Yang Su, compared to their injuries and sacrifices mine are nothing.”

Li Shen’s eyes narrowed as he said.

“Is that so?”

Fei Yin nodded but seeing Li Shen’s expression he smile warily.

Without any warning, Li Shen’s hand suddenly shot out and his index finger jabbed Fei Yin’s side. His once rosy complexion turn pale white before he coughed up dark blood.

Poison.

Everyone was taken aback by this.

Fei Yin’s body slacked and the front he was putting on disappeared. Fang Chen had to quickly move to hold him up from falling.

“Quit pretending, what use is there? Just heal your injuries.”

Fei Yin wore an ashamed expression, but he then said firmly.

“As the oldest of the group they should have someone to rely on when you aren’t here.”

Li Shen released a puff of air to the side, he realized what Fei Yin’s mindset was.

“Don’t go deciding that on your own and take up so much responsibility. Don’t be afraid of relying on your teammates.”

Li Shen wasn’t one to talk but he needed to let Fei Yin know this.

Fei Yin nodded, but Li Shen saw he wasn’t that convinced.

“I should be saying that to you brat.”

A voice suddenly echoed out in the training grounds.
