Chapter 234: The Price To Pay

The group of people brought unconscious Ye Xiao to a city called Canglan City and headed straight toward a tower-like building that was standing tall at the centre of Canglan City.

"Miss, What about him?"

After the carriage stopped and people came down, they started to move toward the big tower. Suddenly, Zhong Lang stopped the young lady and asked.

"Oh yes, we took that person is with us after all. I almost forgot about him. Bring him to back garden and call Grandmaster Song to look at his condition and if possible, heal him!" That young lady said and left with other subordinates.

She looked in hurry. And since Ye Xiao was horribly injured, she did not know if he can be saved or not. So she used the word "if possible".

Zhong Lang looked at his young miss, shook his head lightly then carried Ye Xiao and entered the tower-like building. He headed straight to the back garden.

This was a beautiful garden, surrounded by green trees. There was a pond that covered around 100 meters of land of the back garden, surrounded by many beautiful flowers.

In the middle of this lake was a small ship floating. Zhong Lang brought Ye Xiao on the boat and placed him on a little but the luxurious and beautiful bed at the side then left to call grandmaster Song.

Although this boat was small, it was very luxurious. From the way it was, one can easily tell that it was here mainly to entertain guests.

Not long after, Zhong Lang returned with an old man with a long white beard. He sat beside Ye Xiao and checked his body for a while then shook his head and said, "This young man's condition is very serious. I can continue to treat him but exactly when he will wake up, I can not tell for sure!"

"I have never seen the kind of wounds that is on the body of this young man. Except for his face, there is not a single part of his body that is not wounded. It is as if he was slashed thousands of times by countless sharp blades!"

When Zhong Lang heard him, he clasped his hands together and said, "Grandmaster Song, please start treating him. You know the current situation of our young miss. She is already facing a very big problem right now, and because of that, she is unable to divert her attention for this young man."

"But she told me to look for you so that you can treat him. After this young man will wake up, you will definitely be generously rewarded by our young miss."

Grandmaster Song thought for a while and said, "I will start treating him but I can not guarantee his treatment. You know what I mean?"

Zhong Lang nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Then Zhong Lang started Ye Xiao's treatment and after around two hours, he left the scene with Zhong Lang.

Sometime later after both of them left, mysterious energy surrounded Ye Xiao's body and his body disappeared from the boat.

_Heavenly Pearl_

Inside the Heavenly Pearl, on the second floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, Ye Xiao's unconscious body suddenly appeared beside a small little girl around the age of 7 to 8. This young girl was Little Yellow, the Queen of Plants.

She looked at Ye Xiao's grave condition and spoke in a low voice, "Should I heal him?"

To respond to her, a dignified voice echoed, "No, leave him be. Let him recover slowly otherwise those people outside will be shocked. If they would have not found Ye Xiao, then there would not have been any problem in healing him. Given your ability, he would have recovered in just a few minutes."

"But since he was brought by those people, it will attract their attention if they found Ye Xiao has healed so soon."

This voice belonged to the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon who continued to say, "Anyway, his soul was protected by me and it is not damaged in the slightest. I told him to cultivate the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique. He is currently cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique inside his Divine Sea."

"It will probably take a very long time for him to completely cultivate the Second Layer of his cultivation technique. He has already forgotten everything about the outside matter the moment he started cultivating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and will only wake up after completely cultivating it."

"So, as long as his soul does not wake up here, it will be alright to let the alchemist outside heal him slowly. You can completely heal Ye Xiao after he wakes up."

Little Yellow nodded her head and agreed with the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon.

Looking at Ye Xiao, she again said, "Although he is really badly injured, his cultivation is still increasing bit by bit. He already about to break through to the Second Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm. If this continues, before he will again attract the heavenly tribulation before he wakes up."

"Don't worry about that. We can hide him here and when his cultivation will stabilize, we can again send him outside. This way, he can avoid the Heavenly Tribulation when he will break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm." Divine Soul Emperor dragon replied her softly.

"But if we really do this, when he will break through to the Martial Saint Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation he will face, will be at least twice no thrice or even more, terrifying than what he should." Little yellow once again showed her worry toward Ye Xiao.

"HAH!, he has to pay a certain price for avoiding the Heavenly Tribulation after all!" The Divine Soul Emperor dragon sighed and said.

After some time, Ye Xiao's body disappeared from the Second Floor of the Nine Story pagoda and once again appeared on the beautiful bed of the boat.
