Chapter 457: Side Effect

Yu Caidie still had her veil on, and only the outline of her face could be seen. However, just her eyes that looked like a pair of luminous moons were enough to bewitch anyone. An enchanting fragrance was about her, and her temperament made her seem like a fairy, one with remarkable beauty and allure. Her beauty alone could humble any genius.

Such a woman was personally feeding Xiang Shaoyun spirit spring water with one arm around him. The sight was enough to drive anyone mad with envy. Even Xiang Shaoyun himself was completely bewitched.

How I wish I can lie in her embrace forever, thought Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.

"Open your mouth," Yu Caidie\'s warm and gentle voice rang out.

Looking at Xiang Shaoyun\'s pale face, Yu Caidie felt like something was gripping at her heart. She had no idea why she was feeling this way, but she did not let any of her emotions show.

Xiang Shaoyun did not open his mouth. Rather, he leaned into her embrace and enjoyed her gentleness. But his enjoyment did not last long as his mouth was soon forced open. A drop of millennium spirit spring water then entered his throat.

"Rest. We will depart when you are well again," Yu Caidie\'s voice rang out. He then noticed that she was no longer by his side.

Ahhh, I still haven’t enjoyed myself enough, grumbled Xiang Shaoyun inwardly.

He might look weak right now, but in truth, he had already refined two drops of lightning liquid. He had actually recovered considerably, and he was merely pretending to be weak.

In the past, a single drop of lightning liquid would be enough to heal him. But now, two drops of lightning liquid had only helped him recover by about 30 or 40 percent. Even when coupled with Yu Caidie\'s millenium spirit spring, he had only recovered by about 50 percent. It was evident his exhaustion had been very harsh this time.

He was forced to sit cross-legged and to use a large amount of spirit crystals to recover more of his combat prowess. After all, in his current state, things could get very dangerous. He would never rely on others for his own safety.

While Xiang Shaoyun was recovering, the others were doing the same. Two of them had been killed in the battle, while the others had sustained injuries of differing degrees. Even so, just the fact that not all of them had been slaughtered by the Devil Emperors proved how extraordinary they were.

Suddenly, Tang Longfei sent Di Tong a voice transmission, "Di Tong, I know you want to kill Xiang Shaoyun. Remember this. Before you kill him, you have to get through me."

Di Tong looked at Tang Longfei nearby and replied, "Tang Longfei, since when have the people from city hall become such busybodies?"

"That is not something you need to know about. Don\'t think we are clueless about what your Di Clan did at the Ziling Sect. You will regret what you did one day," replied Tang Longfei with a displeased tone. He then sank into silence.

Di Tong thought to himself in agitation, I will definitely kill Xiang Shaoyun. Not even you can stop me, Tang Longfei!I

But when he thought of how Xiang Shaoyun had been able to kill a third-stage Devil Emperor with one hit, he felt a chill creep up his spine. He had initially planned to throw caution to the wind and kill Xiang Shaoyun with everything he had while Xiang Shaoyun was injured.

That eventually led to him instigating Su Jun to kill Xiang Shaoyun. He was supposed to stay behind as a backup and would only act if Xiang Shaoyun managed to escape. But he had not expected that Tang Longfei would stop Su Jun, causing him to lose the chance to kill Xiang Shaoyun. On top of that, he had made Su Jun his enemy as well. His plan had failed terribly and had backfired on himself. If he attacked now, he had zero chances of succeeding. He could only focus on snatching the position of Yu Clan\'s son-in-law before trying anything else.

A day passed quickly, and everyone had mostly recovered. Xiang Shaoyun was the only one still meditating. Everyone wanted to urge him to stop and start moving, but since Yu Caidie wasn\'t saying anything, it wasn\'t proper for them to say anything either.

After all, the strength Xiang Shaoyun had displayed was too stunning. Moreover, he had been injured for the sake of Yu Caidie. No matter what, it was only proper for them to wait for him to recover.

Shortly after, Xiang Shaoyun woke up as well. His face was still pale, and his aura still seemed unstable. Evidently, he was suffering the side effect of forcefully utilizing a powerful technique.

The Nine Overlord Skyslaying Saber Technique is really too scary. I won\'t force myself to use it ever again unless necessary, thought Xiang Shaoyun, still feeling some lingering fear.

He initially thought that he had merely been too exhausted and would recover after some energy replenishment. But after sitting in meditation for an entire day, he found that both his lightning bone and stars still felt like they were empty. His meridians and acupoints were also aching, and his energy circulation was extremely slow.

That was when he realized that forcefully utilizing a battle technique that his body couldn\'t support was something he had to pay a price for. The side effect he was suffering wasn\'t something some spirit spring water and spirit medicines could cure. Rather, he needed time to slowly recover.

In other words, he had harmed his very foundation. A cultivator\'s foundation was extremely important for them, as that was something that could affect their future in cultivation. One could say that the more stable one\'s foundation was, the more beneficial it would be for one\'s growth. Someone with a weak foundation would find breaking through extremely hard.

Over the past three years, Xiang Shaoyun had been growing rapidly because of his outstanding talent, hard work, and talent. And the foundation he had gotten from soaking in medicinal water since young had also played a great role.

He had always had a firm foundation, but this time, he had harmed it. If he couldn\'t repair the damage, his cultivation speed would be affected. And time was extremely important for any cultivator. Just a tiny reduction of speed would greatly affect a cultivator\'s future.

Xiang Shaoyun understood all that and was left with no choice but to face it with a bitter smile on his face. After all, he had harmed his foundation for the sake of saving Yu Caidie, and he did not regret his choice.

"Brother Xiang, you look really bad. Did you use a forbidden technique or something?" Huo Xudong came over and asked. Everyone also looked over when they heard the question.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "I guess you can put it that way. I might remain somewhat weak temporarily. I\'m afraid I will have to trouble you for a bit, Brother Huo."

With his current condition, he could only unleash the combat prowess of a regular fourth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. He could only continue punching above his weight after taking some time to heal.

Huo Xudong answered, "Don\'t worry. With me here, nobody can harm you."

Tang Longfei also came over. "Are you fine?"

Xiang Shaoyun gazed at Tang Longfei with a complicated look in his eyes. "I\'m fine. Brother Tang, have we met somewhere before?"

"It\'s good that you are fine. We can talk about that after we leave the Devil Domain," said Tang Longfei.

"Alright. Let\'s head off," said Yu Caidie.

Once again, the group started heading toward the devil wind beast territory. Everyone was in a good mood. Initially, Xiang Shaoyun was giving them great pressure. But when they saw his weakened state, they could see that he no longer posed them any threat. They all concluded that in his current condition, he could no longer fight with them for the position of Yu Clan\'s son-in-law.
