Chapter 2889 — A Plea to Tianchan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Young Sect Master Tian, though our Yellow Earth High Sect is a sect of the Western Regions, we have long dealt frequently with your Central Plains' Xuandan Sect and Five Luminaries Sect—we are friendly sects with many collaborations between us. This time, our Young Sect Master Tu was beaten into this state by Zhang Naiyao. You cannot just leave it at that!" Earth Drill Star wailed, tears and snot streaming down his face, kneeling before Tianchan and refusing to rise, hoping she would help him.
"Earth Drill Star, I understand how you feel, but the only thing our Xuandan Sect can do is gift your sect a Great Return Pill. As for everything else, there is nothing we can do," Tianchan said, somewhat troubled. "Though the Yellow Earth High Sect is a friendly sect of our Xuandan Sect, is the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect any less so?"
"But our Yellow Earth High Sect still has to find and cultivate earth-attribute inheritors, Young Sect Master Tian—we are allies! If something happens to our Young Sect Master Tu, how could anyone in our sect search for and cultivate inheritors with peace of mind?" Earth Drill Star said. "Moreover, our Young Sect Master Tian came to the Central Plains this time precisely to find earth-attribute inheritors. Only our Young Sect Master Tu can sense and discover earth-attribute inheritance bloodlines. If something happens to him, it will affect the grand plan for the future!"
"Earth Drill Star, did I not already say? Our Xuandan Sect will provide you with a Great Return Pill; the rest is for you to figure out yourselves," Tianchan said with a bitter smile.
"We brought Great Return Pills as well, but they can only sustain the Young Sect Master Tu's life, not save him!" Earth Drill Star said. "Even if you cannot trouble the Tomorrow Upon Tomorrow Sect, Young Sect Master Tian, you must think of something!"
This was Earth Drill Star's true purpose. He had no intention of seeking trouble with Zhang Naiyao. He and Earth Tyrant had been bested by superior skill and wounded by Zhang Naiyao—that was their own lack of ability, and no one else was to blame.
But he truly had no way to save Earth Tyrant. Even the Great Return Pill was ineffective, and the Western Regions' sect was a long journey away—Earth Tyrant certainly could not endure the trip back. And even if he returned, there would be nothing to be done. His injuries were simply too severe!
Tianchan's head was splitting as well. She had already sent people to examine Earth Tyrant's injuries, and it could be said they were on par with Tagan Long's. If Earth Tyrant could be saved, then Tagan Long would have been cured long ago, and the Five Luminaries Sect would not have needed to activate her, their hidden agent!
Now, even the Five Luminaries Sect and the Xuandan Sect had no solution—how could she possibly help Earth Drill Star?
"Earth Drill Star, to be frank with you, I truly have no solution on my end either. But I can help you think on it, and if I come up with a method, I will notify you at the first opportunity," Tianchan said after a moment's pondering.
"Ah, then many thanks, Young Sect Master Tian!" Earth Drill Star could hear the perfunctory note in Tianchan's words, but he had come with a try-it-and-see attitude. If the Yellow Earth High Sect had no solution, what solution could the Xuandan Sect have? He had come purely to try his luck.
After seeing Earth Drill Star off, Tianchan still had a headache, but this was no trivial matter. She would have to speak of it with Elder Ancestor Xuanzhen and Elder Ancestor Xuanchen—after all, it might affect the future plan for the inheritors.
At that very moment, Elder Ancestor Xuanchen was tallying the results of this trial together with Elder Ancestor Xuanzhen.
