Chapter 295 – Silver Key

Ji Tian Luo was still affected by Lei Hu’s sacrifice; although she had not liked Lei Hu, he had treated her very well. She had often been saved by him when caught in dangerous situations.

She was harboring a complaint towards Yang Tian initially after he took away Lei Hu’s arm and only until Yang Tian rescued a large number of soldiers had that complaint disappeared.

This time, the deaths were much higher which was why there was no need to heal the injured in an open area, the injured had been housed in rooms instead.

“Come with me first.”

Yang Tian was about to expel the Corpse Energy from the unconscious soldiers when Ji Tian Luo brought him to another room.

Within the room were two soldiers, they were the two Early Rank 4 from before. They had pale faces and were going in and out of conscious.

Elder Yi was frowning when Ji Tian Luo opened the door but he looked slightly better after seeing Yang Tian.

“Finally, you are here.” Elder Yi commented.

“Let me take a look first!”

The frost energy on them was from the Wintry Moon Zombie King; this was a completely different category from the frost energy of normal Wintry Moon Zombies. Just by approaching them, Yang Tian could sense a frigid coldness.

Yang Tian’s face turned ugly; he could heal them, but it would be very demanding from him and his Flame Ability might be out of commission for the next few days after the treatment, his Flaming Heart Earthfire might also weaken. This was not something Yang Tian wanted, just as Yang Tian was about to find and excuse, Elder Yi said:

“If you save them, it can be considered as one of the three promises.”

Yang Tian pondered for a moment before saying:

“Then, okay!”

This time, the Light Attribute cannot be used because the Corpse Energy and Frost Energy of the Wintry Moon Zombie King were extremely tyrannical. Before Yang Tian could target the Corpse Energy, he has to deal with the Frost Energy first.

Flaming Heart Earthfire appeared on Yang Tian’s fingertip, increasing the temperature within the room by several notches.

“Everyone should leave first!”

Ji Tian Luo was slightly better off, but Elder Yi’s physique will not be able to handle the powerful heat for long.

Elder Yi had wanted to object, but Ji Tian Luo knew the limits and pulled Elder Yi out with her.

Flaming Heart Earthfire slowly started wrapping around the soldier’s body under Yang Tian’s careful control. The ice on the body started to melt, but melting was far from enough in the process of removing the Frost Energy.

Mental Forging

However, Yang Tian must be careful this time because the soldier’s body would not be able to endure the process like how he used it on himself in the past. It was highly likely that he would die immediately with one misplaced hammer strike.

Ding

Yang Tian lightly struck the body with Flaming Heart Earthfire, he made sure to avoid critical areas and start on the hardest area first.

Each strike made, would reduce the Frost Energy inside the soldier slightly.

This method could only expel some of the Frost Energy out of the body, the next step was to push it out from the body from the inside.

“Everything depends on your luck. If not, don’t blame me.”

Yang Tian first used Sacred Light on the soldier before guiding Flaming Heart Earthfire into the soldier’s body.

“Ah!!”

Despite being in a half-conscious state, the soldier still shouted out uncontrollably. The Sacred Light encasing his body started working, healing the moment any internal part of the body was burnt.

Flaming Heart Earthfire cycled through the body once before the process was finally completed. Sacred Light had also lost most of its power by now.

The soldier’s body was still boiling, but it was in a much better state compared to his previous frozen condition.

“Still alive.”

Yang Tian released a breath of relief, the rest could be left to Elder Yi.

One more left

Flaming Heart Earthfire was not as hot as before, it was only at 1000℃, dropping by more than 400℃; likely requiring at least a week before it could recover.

Yang Tian repeated the same method. This time, the flame reduced by 600℃, reaching only 400℃ now. The Flaming Heart Earthfire will be needing half a month of recuperation to regain its peak state.

The healing performed this time had exhausted the Flamecore of the Flaming Heart Earthfire, when the core was injured, the flame would require time to heal.

“I have suffered a big loss this time.”

Yang Tian kept Flaming Heart Earthfire, his expression was also paler than before. After opening the door, Ji Tian Luo and Elder Yi rushed in and were delighted to see that the two soldiers were breathing and stabilized. However, they were also worried when they notice the paleness of Yang Tian.

“Are you okay?”

Ji Tian Luo asked concerned, Yang Tian waved his hand and left.

Yang Tian would also suffer a backlash when the core of the Flaming Heart Earthfire was damaged. This was not as simple as normal exhaustion.

Yang Tian quickly returned to his hotel room, Lei Xing jumped in shock when he saw Yang Tian’s pale face.

“Give me all your Fire Attribute Spirit Herbs.”

“Okay.”

Yang Tian took out all Fire Attribute Spirit Herbs in both of their possessions and refined them, allowing his complexion to turn slightly better.

After the minor recovery, Flaming Heart Earthfire reached 600℃ again, but it was still far from a complete recovery.

“Boss, she is here again.”

“Ignore her.”

Yang Tian closed his eyes to rest, he did not have the energy to take care of the other soldiers now.

On the next day, Yang Tian left the hotel. This time, Ji Hou Tao should have a better grasp of the abilities of the various organizations. Moreover, some of the weaker ones were even wiped out, allowing Ji Hou Tao to openly head over and absorb the territories those people had owned.

Yang Tian planned to bid farewell to Ji Hou Tao, there were still several Fire Attribute Spirit Herbs in Sky Halberd Domain, although it would not allow Yang Tian to restore to his peak condition, it would be enough to restore his Fire Ability to function normally again.

“Why are you still here?”

Yang Tian saw Ji Tian Luo the moment he walked out of the building.

Did she wait an entire night?

Ji Tian Luo displayed an at ease expression when she saw Yang Tian appeared.

“Thank you for last night.”

“Ok. Where is your grandfather?”

“At the meeting room.”

“Good.”

Yang Tian left the hotel, while Lei Xing remained within the hotel room. Yang Tian sudden increase in speed caught Ji Tian Luo by surprise.

“Why are you running so quickly.”

Ji Tian Luo increased her speed as well, hoping to catch up to Yang Tian.

Yang Tian arrived outside the meeting room and saw Ji Hou Tao the moment he pushed the doors; beside him were Xiang Gang and the other leaders of the various organizations. It looks like they were informing Ji Hou Tao of their departure as well.

“Oh? Captain Yang, why did you come as well?” Ji Hou Tao asked the question that he knew the answer to.

“I believe I have stayed long enough, I need to leave.”

“That’s only natural. However, I would like Captain Yang to assist the healing of my soldiers, please take this as compensation.” Ji Hou Tao revealed a silver key in his hand. 

Silver Key

Why does Ji Hou Tao knows that I needed a Silver Key? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
