Chapter 166 Ruins

Phoenix City had completely turned into ruins, but a few of its solid walls were still intact. The muddy yellow rain was still wreaking havoc, as if it was going to fall all the way to the heavens. The stagnant water on the ground grew deeper and deeper, surging along the broken streets. Large amounts of debris and horrible corpses floated on the surface of the water. A mountain of corpses was piled up near the city gate. Corpses with missing arms and legs were constantly floating over from all directions. In the heavy rain, dead faces with different expressions could be seen. They were either panicked, painful, miserable, helpless, ferocious, shocking, and desolate!

Occasionally, one or two xiuzhe would fly through the sky in a hurry and panic on their mounts. Under some tall and damaged buildings that could shelter from the rain, there were a few shadows bent down. They looked at the torrential rain with a confused gaze.

Xiaoxiao quietly curled up in Zhao Yu's embrace, her pair of dark eyes staring at the muddy yellow rain with some fear. In this narrow space of less than fifty square meters, nearly fifty people had already been squeezed together. However, there was a deathly silence. Everyone became mute, either sitting or lying, silent, panicked, and uneasy. The air was filled with general pessimism and despair.

Huala! Seven or eight figures flashed in from the rain. Their bodies were drenched in water, and droplets of water flowed downwards. Everyone's gazes gazed over in unison.

"Brother Jun!" Xiaoxiao got up from Zhao Yu's embrace and ran over quickly. She raised her small face and looked at Chu Jun who was covered in water with joy.

Chu Jun doted on the tip of the little fellow's delicate nose and smiled, "Are you obedient?"

"Be good!" Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Zhao Yu leisurely walked forward and said softly, "You're back!" As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the water off Chu Jun's face!

Chu Jun comfortably enjoyed Zhao Yu's service. As he circulated the divine power of the blazing sun, the clothes on his body dried up in a short period of time, and a white mist gushed out.

"Hehe, I'm so jealous. Why isn't anyone helping me wipe my face!" Shen Xiaobao said jealously as he took off his coat and twisted it dry. He didn't have Chu Jun's ability to steam his clothes dry, so he could only twist them!

Shangguan Yu also took off his coat and twisted it dry. He smiled and said, "Monkey, you must envy me for helping you!"

"Forget it. I'm afraid that you'll scratch my face. Senior Sister Zhao, be gentle. Help me too!" Shen Xiaobao said shamelessly.

Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Brother Monkey, your skin is so thick, can you scratch it?"

"Pu!" Zhao Yushi laughed out loud, and the surrounding people couldn't help but laugh. The lifeless atmosphere seemed to have driven away some of them.

Shen Xiaobao pretended to be annoyed and pinched his little tender face. The latter pouted his little mouth discontentedly, "Don't pinch her face. Brother Monkey is too bad!"

Shangguan Yu laughed and kicked Shen Xiaobao's butt, "Xiaoxiao, I'll avenge you!"

Xiaoxiao laughed so hard that her eyes curved into crescent moons, clapping her hands and cheering!

This little fellow was pink and cute, deeply liked by everyone. Everyone around Chu Jun doted on her, even Huang Bing, who was cold by nature, was no exception.

Chu Jun picked up Xiaoxiao and walked inside. Everyone respectfully stood up and saluted, "Greetings, Master!"

Chu Jun smiled and nodded. However, his heart was extremely heavy. After two days of searching and rescuing, only sixteen of the thirty plus Anxiang disciples had been found. Even three of the ten Spirit Condensation Middle Stage disciples that Shen Xiaobao had brought were missing. Tengge Huang was even more miserable. Only 25 people remained, including Daoist Wenyue and Beitang Gui. The rest of the disciples were killed the moment Flying Snow Peak collapsed.

Huala! A few more people flashed into the rain. They were Huang Bing, Adept Wen Yue, and the others who had gone out to search for the survivors of their sect. This time, they had also returned empty-handed. Clearly, no more survivors had been found. Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Tenghuang Pavilion couldn't help but reveal disappointed expressions. Some even lowered their heads to wipe away their tears.

Daoist Wenyue's old face was gloomy as he silently walked to an empty seat to rest. Huang Bing glanced around and saw Chu Jun's concerned gaze. She couldn't help but feel slightly sweet in her heart, and her depressed mood became slightly better.

Shangguan Yu sat down beside Chu Jun and said in a deep voice, "Chu Jun, it would be futile to continue searching. I intend to rush back to the mountain immediately. I wonder how the mountain gate is doing now!"

Chu Jun's heart was extremely heavy. Now that Phoenix City had become like this, there was probably no difference between Five Thunder City and Thunder Sound Mountain. Not many people would be able to survive. I hope that Ning Yun and the others would be safe and sound!

Shen Xiaobao, an optimist, also said worriedly, "Chu Jun, we can't delay any longer. We have to hurry back to the mountain right now!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but frown. There were still quite a few members of Dark Fragrance in Phoenix City. Xi'er had also disappeared in this incident. Li Xiangjun was currently leading people to search for Dark Fragrance's survivors like crazy. He couldn't just leave her alone!

"Chu Jun, you can't hesitate any longer!" Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice, "There are more disciples waiting for us in the sect!"

"Then what about the Liefa Sect? The Sect Leader and the Elders are in their hands. I wonder what will happen now!" Zhao Yu interrupted.

Everyone couldn't help but be silent. This sudden catastrophe interrupted their original plan. Chu Jun said with a solemn expression, "The Liefa Sect wants to leave the continent. Obviously, they received the news that a catastrophe is imminent early in the morning!"

Shangguan Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "That's right, if they want to leave the continent, they might bring the Sect Leader and the Elders with them. In other words, the Sect Leader and the others are the safest in the hands of the Liefa Sect!"

"The Liefa Sect must have followed Young Master Feng Ling and left on an outsider's boat. As long as we catch up with the outsider's boat, we will definitely be able to find them!" Chu Jun said calmly. Suddenly, his expression changed. He said anxiously, "Not good. If the outsider's boat leaves, we won't be able to catch up even if we want to!"

Shen Xiaobao hurriedly jumped up and shouted, "We have to hurry!"

"Alright! Let's hurry back to the mountain gate and gather everyone to the Eastern Sea of Immortals!" Chu Jun nodded. Hidden Fragrance was well-informed, and she had long since found out that the outsider's ship was docked in the Eastern Sea of Crossing Immortals.

"Master, Incense Master hasn't returned yet!" An Anxiang member stood up and said worriedly. She was injured on her foot, so she did not follow Li Xiangjun out to search.

Chu Jun comforted, "Don't worry, I won't leave Dark Fragrance behind!" He turned to Shen Xiaobao and the others and said, "Big Senior Brother, Little Treasure, bring your men first. I'll be there soon!"

"Alright!" Shangguan Yu nodded in agreement. He immediately ordered everyone to take care of the injured and set off in the pouring rain.

Hidden Fragrance's people also followed Shangguan Yu back first. The surroundings instantly became much more empty, leaving only more than 20 people from the Tenghuang Pavilion and Chu Jun. Xiaoxiao naturally refused to leave Chu Jun, and Zhao Yu also stayed behind.

About half an hour later, Li Xiangjun rushed in with three members of Dark Fragrance. She was holding a dying woman in her arms and anxiously shouted, "Master, quickly save Xi'er!"

Chu Jun hurriedly greeted Li Xiangjun. He saw that the one in Li Xiangjun's arms was indeed Xi'er. However, this girl who was as gorgeous as a spring flower was as angry as a gossamer. Her body was covered in wounds. Her head had been scratched by a large piece of skin, and even her bones could be vaguely seen.

Chu Jun's expression changed slightly. He quickly took off his outer robe and spread it on the ground. He took the person from Li Xiangjun's embrace and placed him flat on the robe. "Master, you must save her!" Li Xiangjun's face was filled with misery as she cried out with tears in her eyes.

Li Xiangjun was originally a woman disguising as a man, but at this moment, her entire body was wet. Her mature body was obviously concave and convex, her temples were messy, and even a fool could tell that she was a woman with a charming face full of pear blossoms and rain.

"So this Li Jun is actually a woman. No wonder he is so handsome!" Zhao Yu thought to herself.

Chu Jun ignored Li Xiangjun and held Xi'er's wrist meridians. He first probed his inner breath, then examined the injuries on his body. He couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air. Xi'er had multiple fractures all over her body, the most serious of which was that her spine was broken and her kidneys were damaged. Apparently, she had fallen from a high altitude and suffered injuries.

Seeing Chu Jun's expression, Li Xiangjun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice, "Master, you must save Xi'er!"

"Master, please save Xi'er!" The three members behind her also knelt on the ground.

Chu Jun glared at Li Xiangjun, who was covered in pear blossoms and rain. He waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say that I won't save her?"

"Thank you, Master!" Li Xiangjun burst into tears and laughed, as if Chu Jun would definitely be able to save her once he agreed to save her.

Although Zhao Yu did not know much about Anxiang's people, he had also heard about their activities, so he had always been uninterested in Anxiang. Now that he saw Li Xiangjun and the other women attach so much importance to love and righteousness, he could not help but put away his contempt. Especially Li Xiangjun, who had not rested for the past two days and was searching for survivors like crazy, Zhao Yu unconsciously looked at her with a new look.

Chu Jun poured half a bottle of the Spirit Spring of Life into Wang Xi'er. Xi'er's originally angry expression gradually recovered a trace of vitality. After that, Chu Jun connected the place where the bone was broken and transported the little god to heal her.

Chu Jun sat like a stone statue, his palm holding a bright moon. The gentle and holy moonlight shone on Wang Xi'er's body. As time passed, Wang Xi'er's face gradually regained its color and her breathing became vigorous. Li Xiangjun's face revealed a trace of surprise. Her charming eyes glanced at Xi'er and then glanced at Chu Jun.

Zhao Yu looked at Chu Jun, who was emitting a faint and holy aura. Unknowingly, he was somewhat absent-minded. "Big Brother Jun is amazing," Xiaoxiao said happily. "This big sister is getting better!"

Daoist Wenyue's eyes flashed with suspicion as he thought to himself, "Strange, what kind of cultivation technique is this thief Chu Jun using? He has never seen it, never heard of it. Could it be …?"

It took Chu Jun nearly half an hour to recover. Li Xiangjun hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened to Xi'er?"

A trace of exhaustion appeared on Chu Jun's face. He waved his hand and said, "Her life is saved, but she has many external fractures. It will take her a long time to recover!"

Li Xiangjun heaved a sigh of relief and respectfully bowed to Chu Jun, "Thank you, Master!"

Xiao Xiao, this obedient little fellow, had already rushed to wipe the sweat off Chu Jun's forehead with a small handkerchief!
