Chapter 49: Cleaning the Battlefield
The two flew over the forest, searching for Xiao Hansheng and the others. The battle on their side should have ended as well.
"Nothing much. My master asked me to lead you all in cleaning up the battlefield, so I came to pick you up on the way," Lin Aoxue said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately thought for a moment.
"Oh, I get it. Your master wants you to interact more with this new generation of disciples. She's trying to cultivate your confidants," Ye Liuyun understood at once.
Lin Aoxue hadn't really thought about these things. To be precise, she disliked all the messy affairs of the Yunxia Sect. She didn't care whether she became the Sect Master or not. As long as she could live happily in this world with Ye Liuyun, she would be content.
"What a hassle. I'm actually not interested in being the Sect Master at all. All the scheming is so boring. Whoever wants to do it can have it," Lin Aoxue sighed.
But Ye Liuyun didn't see it that way. Some things weren't just about what you wanted.
"Alas! But you saw the brutality of the battlefield today, didn't you? This isn't Earth. Even Earth, which seems like a civilized world to us, has no one who can truly avoid trouble. The trivialities of life are trouble itself."
"Not long ago, I watched a living person die right in front of me. Do you know what that felt like?" Ye Liuyun asked.
Thinking of the cultivator who had been killed by the backlash from her artifact not long ago, Lin Aoxue also felt a little uncomfortable.
"I understand. But, Liuyun, you should understand that there will be more things like this in the future. We can only get used to it," Lin Aoxue said.
"I know. I just feel that many casualties are unnecessary. Forget it, let's not talk about this," Ye Liuyun didn't want to continue.
Lin Aoxue scanned the area with her divine sense and soon found Xiao Hansheng and the others. They were all injured to varying degrees, but they were only superficial wounds.
Moreover, the Yunxia Sect disciples had also captured many injured Zixia Sect cultivators who hadn't managed to retreat in time.
"Behave yourselves! The battle is over. If you don't want to die, stop struggling, or don't blame me for killing you." The group of new disciples had surrounded a dozen or so wounded members of the Zixia Sect camp, glaring at them fiercely.
They too had been driven by bloodlust just now. They were moving together when they suddenly ran into the Spirit Stream Realm disciples from the Zixia Sect and its subordinate powers, and a big fight broke out.
There were also Spirit Stream Realm disciples from the Yunxia Sect's four subordinate powers here, adding up to over three hundred people.
"If you want to kill us, then kill us. There's no need to humiliate us. You despicable Yunxia Sect, who knows what evil methods you used to attack our senior brothers and experts. We refuse to accept this!" the disciples from the Zixia Sect camp shouted defiantly.
But his words infuriated the people on the Yunxia Sect's side.
"What? You came to snatch our things, and when you couldn't, you started to bite back, is that it?" This infuriated the disciples from the Yunxia Sect camp, and they were about to attack.
But the Zixia Sect disciples had heard that the cause of the conflict was the Yunxia Sect snatching their Zixia Sect's spirit stone mine vein, so they certainly did not accept the Yunxia Sect's version of events.
This was very normal. Their cause was unjust from the start, so the higher-ups would certainly not tell the disciples that they were going on a robbery. That would only damage the sect's prestige and the disciples' respect for the sect.
Even if the Yunxia Sect were to go and snatch things, they would have to find a convincing reason.
"Stop!" Just as a disciple was about to strike, Lin Aoxue appeared above them, carrying Ye Liuyun. They then descended from the flying sword and landed in front of them.
"Eh? Senior Sister Lin." Xiao Hansheng and the others quickly bowed in salute.
The disciples from the subordinate sects also bowed upon seeing Lin Aoxue's attire.
"By order of the Sect Master, I am here to lead you in cleaning the battlefield. Go and collect the remains of our fellow disciples and the Zixia Sect disciples. As for them, just watch them. Don't get physical," Lin Aoxue announced.
"We obey the Sect Master's decree," the crowd replied in unison.
Out of the three hundred or so people, only fifty were left to guard the prisoners. The rest went everywhere to find the wounded and the remains of cultivators.
These disciples had received a baptism of blood today. At the very least, they would be much braver from now on. However, they still felt their hearts pound when they saw the more gruesome remains of cultivators.
The most gruesome cultivator was the one killed by Lin Aoxue’s artifact. The disciple collecting the remains almost vomited.
It was a mangled mess of flesh and blood; only a rough human shape could be seen.
"Stop looking, hurry up and get it away," Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun urged from a distance.
The disciples could only fight back their nausea and find a way to remove the corpse. The wounded were also currently arranged in one place to recuperate.
"Liuyun, I won't ask about the medicine you refined. Go and help those injured fellow disciples," Lin Aoxue said, looking at the place where the wounded were resting.
Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then nodded and went alone to the camp for the wounded. There were nearly a hundred injured people here.
Those with minor injuries had already gone to the spirit stone mine vein. Those who were more seriously injured and had difficulty moving were all here.
Some disciples from the Alchemy Pavilion were giving them rough treatment.
The leader was Nalan Yan.
"Senior Sister Nalan, is there any way for my hand to grow back? I can't be crippled!" a Spirit Sea Realm inner sect disciple pleaded, grabbing Nalan Yan's clothes with great agitation.
But there was nothing Nalan Yan could do. Pills that could regenerate severed limbs were very expensive. Their Yunxia Sect didn't have any, unless they went to Yunhai City to buy them.
Yunhai City was a cultivator marketplace built by the Yun Sect. There should be Flesh and Bone Regrowth Pills there, but the price was also very high.
"I... Junior Brother, don't be agitated. There will be a way," Nalan Yan could only comfort him this way.
And there were others who were in a worse state than this cultivator. The most miserable one here was missing an arm and a leg, basically crippled.
There were also a few who were on the verge of death, and it was uncertain if they would survive.
The moment Ye Liuyun arrived, her heart grew heavy. There were also a few wounded from the Zixia Sect who hadn't been taken away by their sect. But unfortunately, the Yunxia Sect was already short-handed looking after their own wounded and had no mind to care for them.
"Senior Sister Nalan, is there anything I can help with?" Ye Liuyun walked up to Nalan Yan and asked.
Hearing her voice, Nalan Yan immediately looked at Ye Liuyun.
"It's you? Junior Sister Ye, aren't you with Junior Sister Lin?" Nalan Yan was a little confused.
"Oh, my sister said that you were under a lot of pressure here, so she asked me to come and help. After all, I'm also an alchemist, and I have a lot of healing medicine with me, so I came over," Ye Liuyun replied.
Nalan Yan nodded.
"Alright then, Junior Sister Ye, I'll have to trouble you," Nalan Yan said.
Without wasting any time, Ye Liuyun immediately went to the wounded. She took out a bottle of Hemostasis Pills from her storage space. This was one of the most common healing medicines.
And her Hemostasis Pills were several times more effective than ordinary ones.
"Senior Brother, here, take this." Ye Liuyun poured out a rosy pill and put it into the mouth of a weak disciple.
He instinctively swallowed it. If you want to live, you have to strive for survival. As the pill entered his stomach, the injured and ruptured internal organs in his body quickly stopped bleeding. With the internal bleeding stopped, he naturally wouldn't cough up blood anymore, and his injuries were basically suppressed.
Ye Liuyun gave each of them one.
"This? Junior Sister, what kind of pill is this? How can it be so effective?" Some of the conscious cultivators, after taking Ye Liuyun's pill, all had their injuries stabilized.
They had never seen a Hemostasis Pill with such a fast effect.
