Chapter 1029: Truth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yan Jiuchao had grown up scheming. In the days without his parents’ protection, he had suffered many injuries, but this was the first time it was so terrifying. When Shadow Thirteen held him in his arms, he almost suspected that he was already dead.
The Sorcerer King was their last trump card. If he could not even treat Young Master, then there was no need for Young Master to detoxify.
“Is there no way to treat him?” Yu Wan looked at the Sorcerer King and asked.
The Sorcerer King said, “If it’s just the damage caused by the self-destruction, it’s not impossible to repair.”
If his dantian was damaged, he would reconstruct it for him. If his meridians were broken, he would reconnect them for him. Although it was a little troublesome, it was enough with his current strength.
“Could there be other injuries?” Yu Wan asked in confusion.
The Sorcerer King said, “I think you know the Saint King’s situation very well.
The Saint King has all of Soul Rakshasa’s strength in her body, and Soul Rakshasa has devoured the strength of countless experts… It’s very dangerous for such a Saint King to self-destruct. Logically speaking, he should explode until not even his corpse is left, but guess why he still has a breath of life left?”
Shadow Six blinked. “Could it be… not because Young Master dodged in time?” This was an obvious guess. Anyone would think so, and the Sorcerer King was no exception. However, he actually questioned it, which meant that the situation at that time was not like that.
Shadow Six looked at the Sorcerer King with everyone.
The Sorcerer King snorted and said, “With his little internal energy from the
Longevity Technique, he won’t be able to dodge no matter what. Unless—”
At this point, the Sorcerer King paused, but Yu Wan’s expression turned serious as she took over the conversation. “Unless he has other powers in his body that can compete with the Soul Rakshasa.”
“That’s right.” The Sorcerer King gave Yu Wan an admiring look.
“But… Yan Jiuchao didn’t know martial arts in the past. He only obtained the Longevity Technique from the Ghost King. After that, he cultivated some himself, but I don’t see him cultivating other martial arts…” As Yan Jiuchao’s wife, how could Yu Wan not know what martial arts he cultivated?
“We can testify that Young Master indeed only knows the Longevity Technique,” Shadow Six said as he gestured with his fingers.
The Sorcerer King did not explain. Instead, he stretched out his well-defined finger and tapped Yan Jiuchao’s glabella gently. Everyone instantly felt an abnormally familiar aura coming at them.
Shadow Thirteen frowned. “Soul Rakshasa?! ”
Shadow Six gasped! That’s right, it was the aura of Soul Rakshasa! He thought that he had made a mistake, but since Shadow Thirteen said so, it must be true.
How could this be? What did Soul Rakshasa do to Young Master? Why did Young Master have the aura of a Soul Rakshasa?
The Sorcerer King sighed and said, “After Soul Rakshasa self-destructed, the power in her body was originally going to destroy Yan Jiuchao, but for some reason, a large portion of it was absorbed by Yan Jiuchao. It was precisely because he absorbed these powers that he blocked the attack of self-destruction. However, these powers were too powerful and destroyed his dantian and meridians. Therefore, I really don’t know if I should say that it’s his fortune… or his misfortune.”
No one expected the truth to be like this. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
Yu Wan said seriously, “Tell me the truth. How can I save him?”
The Sorcerer King paused and looked at her. “Do you want to save his life, or do you want to save his person?”
“What do you mean?” Yu Wan asked.
The Sorcerer King glanced at the unconscious Yan Jiuchao. “He has absorbed a large amount of power in his body, including Soul Rakshasa. Now, Soul Rakshasa’s power has been damaged and can’t suppress the power of those experts. If I help him nourish Soul Rakshasa’s power, he might become a Rakshasa. ”
Yu Wan lowered her eyes. “In other words, he will become a Soul Rakshasa, right?”
The Sorcerer King looked at her sympathetically. “Yes, after he becomes a Soul Rakshasa, he can naturally suppress the strength of those experts. However, that way, he will no longer be Yan Jiuchao.”
Yu Wan clenched her fists under her wide sleeves. “What about… the other situation?”
The Sorcerer King said, “The other situation is that I suppress the aura of the Soul Rakshasa and try my best to force his power out of his body. He won’t become a Soul Rakshasa, but the power of the experts left in his body will slowly kill him.”
He could not even reconstruct his dantian because the speed at which he reconstructed it was far inferior to the speed at which his cultivation was destroyed.
The Sorcerer King sighed again. “I understand that this is very difficult. You don’t have to make a choice immediately. Jin’er, come out with me for a while.”
“Okay.” Zhou Jin tactfully left with the Sorcerer King.
Only Yu Wan, Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six were left in the room.
The three of them were silent. No one said anything.
The situation that had happened to the Sorcerer King had happened to them. In the past, they had complained to the Sorcerer King about why he still deceived himself that the Saint King was still the original her even though he knew that the Saint King had alreadv become another Soul Rakshasa. Now. thev could no longer complain.
If a stone didn’t hit her foot, she would never know how painful it was.
If they chose to let Young Master become a Soul Rakshasa, how would they be different from the Sorcerer King back then? However, if they didn’t make such a choice, how could they bear to watch their Young Master die?
“I…” Shadow Six understood that he shouldn’t have spoken earlier than Yu Wan, but he couldn’t hold it in. “I’d rather Young Master live, whether he’s a Soul Rakshasa or not! He’s Young Master Yan, and I’ll follow him! He’s a Soul Rakshasa, and I’ll also follow him! If he wants my life, I’ll give it to him!” Didn’t Shadow Thirteen have the same thought?
No matter how rational a person was, it was only because they did not encounter anything that made him unable to calm down.
At this moment, they all understood the Sorcerer King.
After Young Master became a Soul Rakshasa, they might not be the only ones in danger, but the people around them would also be in danger. However, this could not shake their determination to let Young Master live.
“Young Madam, you make the decision,” Shadow Thirteen said. Although he really hoped that Young Master could survive, the person who really made the decision was Young Madam.
“Alright, invite the Sorcerer King over,” Yu Wan said softly.
Shadow Six went out and called the Sorcerer King and Zhou Jin over.
“You’ve made up your mind so quickly?” The Sorcerer King asked.
Yu Wan nodded and looked into the Sorcerer King’s eyes. “I don’t want him to become a Soul Rakshasa.”
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen’s expressions changed.
The Sorcerer King looked at the two of them and then at Yu Wan. “Are you sure?”
Yu Wan touched her bulging stomach with one hand and said with a swollen throat, “I’m sure.” She held Yan Jiuchao’s hand with her other hand. “He’s a good young master, a good husband, and a good father. In his heart, there’s something more important than his life. He definitely doesn’t want the people he wants to protect with his life to become someone he wants to slaughter in the end.”
She had seen how the Saint King treated the Sorcerer King and Zhou Jin. After becoming a Soul Rakshasa, Yan Jiuchao would also treat her and the children like this.
She was not afraid of death. If she lost him, she would live a life worse than death. However, at the same time, she deeply understood that Yan Jiuchao was definitely unwilling to become such a husband and father.
She was his wife, and she respected his will.
“I hope you can understand me,” Yu Wan said to Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six.
Shadow Six lowered his head sadly. Shadow Thirteen held his hand and said with reddened eyes, “We’ll listen to Young Madam.”
Shadow Six gripped Shadow Thirteen’s fingers tightly as tears fell. The Sorcerer King sighed emotionally. “You guys… wait for me outside.” “I’ll stay,” Zhou Jin said.
“Alright.” One more little Sorcerer King meant one more hope of success.
“Young Madam, go back to your room and rest first. I’ll inform you if there’s any news,” Shadow Thirteen said softly to Yu Wan after leaving the room.
Yu Wan shook her head. “No, I’ll wait for him here.”
Opposite the room was a small courtyard planted with peach trees. There was a stone table and a few stone stools in the courtyard. Shadow Thirteen took a cushion and placed it on the stone stool for Yu Wan to sit down.
Ping’er had long woken up. When they were in the room just now, she did not dare to go in and disturb them. At this moment, Yu Wan sat down outside, so she quickly went forward to serve her.
Yu Wan’s expression was not right. Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen were not
any better.
Ping’er did not dare to ask further. She only went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water and made Yu Wan her favorite rose tea. Ping’er’s tea brewing skills were really not commendable, but at this juncture, no one was picky.
Yu Wan held the hot tea in her hand with tears in her eyes.
Ping’er was frightened. After following Young Madam for so long, she had never seen her lose her composure like this. What was wrong with Young Madam? No, she should ask what was wrong with Young Master.
Ping’er wanted to ask Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen, but she saw that their eyes were also red. Could it be that… Young Master couldn’t be saved?
Two hours later, Zhou Jin’s door opened.
Yu Wan stood up!
“Young Madam! Be careful!” Ping’er quickly protected her stomach, afraid that she would use too much strength and throw the child out!
The Sorcerer King and Zhou Jin walked out. Their faces were extremely pale. It seemed that the battle with Soul Rakshasa had exhausted their sorcery power.
“How is it?” Yu Wan clenched her fists and asked. She hoped that they would succeed, but she was afraid that they would.
The Sorcerer King opened his mouth.. “We…”
