So Earth Tyrant had sent him here? Wei Zhao nodded and did not dwell on the matter. After all, if Fiery Cloud had not held Little One off for a while that day, Wei Zhao would never have had enough time to torment Little Eleven. For that, Wei Zhao was still sincerely grateful to him.
The two of them had not known each other before, and Fiery Cloud had come solely on Earth Tyrant's recommendation. The fact that he had gone this far was already commendable. Even if he had helped Wei Zhao with an ulterior motive, he was still sincere enough to be worth befriending.
"I'll treat your injuries first. You can tell me what happened while I do so." As he spoke, Wei Zhao reached out and clasped Fiery Cloud's pulse point.
"How should I cooperate, Leader Wei Zhao?" Fiery Cloud had never undergone this kind of treatment and did not know what he was supposed to do.
"You don't need to do anything. Just wait," Wei Zhao said.
"All right! I'll have to rely on you for this, Leader." Fiery Cloud nodded and began explaining his background. "Leader, you must have heard that our Flame Mountain sent a disciple to take part in the Profound Elixir Sect's trial. But this disciple was no ordinary person. He was the grandson of our Flame Mountain's First Elder, and also my close friend whom I had grown up with since childhood..."
"Oh, I know. You mean that fellow called Young Hero Yang, right?" Wei Zhao had some impression of him. Yang Shuixia had been beaten to death by Zhang Naipao, and Little Shu had already told Wei Zhao why Fiery Cloud was looking for him. "You want me to help you take revenge on Zhang Naipao?"
"Yes, his name is Yang Shuizhen!" Fiery Cloud hurriedly nodded, then continued, "But revenge is no longer necessary. The Tomorrow After Tomorrow Sect is extremely powerful. After fighting those two just now, I realized how inadequate I am, and I can't drag you into danger, Leader. So I've given up on seeking revenge."
"Then why did you come to me?" Wei Zhao was puzzled. If Fiery Cloud no longer wanted revenge, what else could he possibly need Wei Zhao's help with? For the life of him, Wei Zhao could not think of anything.
"It's like this, Leader. I want to ask you to treat Yang Shuizhen..." Fiery Cloud hesitated before finally revealing his true purpose.
"Yang Shuizhen?" Wei Zhao was stunned. "Wasn't he dead? What is there left to treat?"
"Er... he isn't completely dead yet. There's still a breath left in him..." Fiery Cloud gave a bitter smile, then recounted Yang Shuizhen's situation to Wei Zhao in detail.
"Oh? He really is still alive?" Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised. "In that case, it should be possible. But can you bring him here?"
"That... I'm afraid not. I'm worried he won't survive the long journey..." Fiery Cloud shook his head apologetically. "Leader, could you personally make the trip? As for the payment, anything our Flame Mountain possesses is at your disposal. Just name your price, and we'll satisfy you!"
"The payment is secondary. The main problem is that I don't have time to travel somewhere so far away right now," Wei Zhao said. "How long can Yang Shuizhen hold on inside that cavern at Flame Mountain?"
