After Wang Ruoxie successfully broke through to the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, although he killed Ling Liang with one punch, he not only exhausted his True Essence but also suffered serious injuries.
Moreover, having used the Blood Fusion Forbidden Technique twice in succession, his body had also reached its limit.
Therefore, he eventually couldn't hold on and completely lost consciousness.
...
The next day, early morning.
After Wang Ruoxie and Ling Liang's chase, they arrived in the Endless Wilderness. A luxurious carriage was rapidly speeding along the desolate ancient road.
Moreover, around the luxurious carriage, there were a dozen or so young men with extraordinary martial auras riding alongside. Judging by their attire, they all appeared to be guards.
The cultivation of these guards had at least reached the early stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, and the young man leading them had even reached the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm.
With such powerful guards accompanying them, the person inside the carriage must have an extraordinarily distinguished identity.
"Captain, there seems to be someone ahead."
One of the guards, staring into the distance, discovered what appeared to be two people lying on the ground, and immediately reported to the leading figure.
"Go check it out, and the rest remain vigilant."
After stopping the carriage, the captain instructed the guard who spoke.
"Yes."
The person nodded in acknowledgment and then leaped off his horse. After examining one of the individuals, he determined that the person was already dead, likely having been killed with a single punch.
He then stepped over to the other person and found a young man, even younger than himself.
Although this young man's face was extremely pale, with almost no trace of blood, his faint breathing indicated that he was still alive, likely severely injured.
"Captain, one of them is dead, and the other seems to be severely injured and still in a coma."
The man turned back, addressing the captain.
"Ignore them, let's keep moving."
The captain frowned slightly upon hearing this but then instructed.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a crisp voice came from inside the carriage, and soon a snow-white jade hand extended from within, lifting the curtain.
In the next moment, a face as delicate as porcelain appeared from within the carriage.
This was a girl of about sixteen, wearing a green gauze dress. Her lively and beautiful eyes exuded a pure and clean gaze.
This was a girl filled with Spiritual Qi, invoking a feeling of warmth in anyone who saw her.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, ask someone to bury that corpse and bring the injured person onto the carriage."
The girl addressed the captain.
"Miss Qingxue, we cannot do that. This person is of an unknown origin and is seriously injured, likely from a fight, and that corpse might have been killed by him."
Upon hearing the girl's words, Zhang Yuan quickly intervened: "Even if this person isn't a villain, bringing him along could lead to big trouble for us."
"It's alright, Brother Zhang Yuan, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. He's severely injured right now; if we leave him, he's unlikely to survive. Even if his enemies aren't after him, the demon beasts on this wilderness will consume him."
The girl said with a resolute expression in her eyes.
Zhang Yuan said nothing more, seemingly understanding that no matter how much he tried to dissuade her, the girl wouldn't change her mind. He promptly told the other guards, "Bury that corpse and bring the injured man over."
The guards nodded in agreement and quickly buried the corpse before carrying the injured man onto the carriage.
"Continue forward."
Zhang Yuan cast a frown at the carriage, then instructed the guards.
The convoy then continued its swift journey along the ancient road.
At this moment inside the carriage, the girl was closely observing the man lying there.
Beside her stood another woman in a red dress.
This woman appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an incredibly beautiful face, though her complexion seemed somewhat sickly pale, giving her a fragile appearance and evoking a sense of compassion.
"Qingxue, this person seems to have suffered severe internal injuries. You should give him that Six Yang Returning Essence Pill."
The woman glanced at the young man lying there and then spoke to the girl named Qingxue.
"Sister Qiuling, that Six Yang Returning Essence Pill is an extremely precious Fifth Grade top-tier Pill. Uncle went through immense trouble and resources to obtain one from Master Du Xiu for your illness, and you want to give it to him?"
Upon hearing this, Qingxue exclaimed in surprise.
"The Six Yang Returning Essence Pill is precious, but it won't cure my illness. It's better to use it to save him, which will be more worthwhile."
The woman, whom Qingxue referred to as Sister Qiuling, smiled faintly and said, "Besides, his injuries seem severe. If we don't treat him, he might not last much longer."
"Qingxue, surely you don't want someone you just rescued to die before your eyes?"
Hearing this, Qingxue hesitated but soon nodded firmly, saying, "Sister Qiuling, you're right; we cannot watch him die."
Pausing, she continued, "Sister Qiuling, rest assured, I will find a way to completely heal your illness."
"Good, I will wait for your good news."
Sister Qiuling smiled and nodded, but her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of bitterness.
She knew her own illness better than anyone; even a top-tier Fifth Grade Pill had no effect, leaving her uncertain about any possible cure.
At this moment, Qingxue had already taken out that top-tier Fifth Grade Six Yang Returning Essence Pill and administered it to the young man.
The Six Yang Returning Essence Pill, worthy of being a top-tier Fifth Grade Pill, soon brought a trace of redness to the young man's otherwise pale face.
However, the young man didn't immediately wake up, showing that his injuries were too severe; despite taking this miraculous healing Pill, he could not recover quickly.
"How strange. Although he's covered in blood, he seems to have no wounds, nor any tear in his clothing."
Qingxue examined the young man carefully and expressed her astonishment.
Sister Qiuling also gazed at the young man with puzzled eyes. Logically, with such grave injuries, his body should be covered with wounds, and his clothes should be in tatters.
Yet strangely, there were no wounds on his body, and even his clothing was intact.
At that moment, the fingers of the young man lying there suddenly moved slightly.
"He's awake."
Qingxue's eyes focused, and she whispered.
Seeing the young man slowly open his eyes, a pair of deep eyes immediately locked onto the two young women before him.
"It seems I've been saved."
The young man said to himself, realizing that he was Wang Ruoxie, who had fallen unconscious after killing Ling Liang.
Upon awakening, he discovered that he was in a carriage, and there were two stunningly beautiful women gazing at him with curious eyes.
