Chapter 1096 - 1096 36 Peng Wanli Recovers

Chapter 1096: Chapter 36: Peng Wanli Recovers Chapter 1096: Chapter 36: Peng Wanli Recovers Hu Qianyang also rushed out, his face brimming with a warm smile, watching the mother and daughter embracing, his face full of indulgent affection.

No matter whether for the older or the younger, it was all the same indulgence.

Peng Wanli came out then as well, but he stood aloft, his clothes billowing, gazing from afar at the several people in the center of the yard with a smile on his face.

Feng Yin floated up, Peng Wanli took a step forward to meet him, and said leisurely, “After all, you’ve come.”

Feng Yin laughed heartily, “Isn’t senior here? I truly missed you, senior.”

“Hehe…”

Peng Wanli let out a scornful chuckle from the bottom of his heart, “I believe you, I’ll take it as you speaking the truth.”

Then his tone changed into one of comfort, “However, your timing is just right this time, the timing is perfect.”

“Just right? The timing is perfect?”

“Yes, it’s exactly the right time.”

Peng Wanli sounded somewhat emotional, “Lately, murderous auras have been surging from the Abyss more often, and the trend of the seals loosening is becoming more and more apparent. Judging from the current situation, there will likely be a disturbance soon.”

“Since you’ve arrived, there’s no need to hide certain things from you. In these recent days, one can faintly feel turmoil brewing below, an unprecedentedly violent and extreme mood. If it can be suppressed, we could still maintain it for a while. If it can’t be suppressed… an outbreak will be hard to avoid soon.”

“The fluctuations from the Abyss have been too frequent lately, it’s not simple!”

A trace of weariness flashed across Peng Wanli’s gaunt face.

Feng Yin let out a light sigh of relief and said cheerfully, “In that case, my arrival is indeed timely! As it is for the Abyss, so it is for senior!”

“Hmm, for me as well?”

Peng Wanli looked puzzled.

“With senior’s wisdom, how could you not realize… heh, I should now be able to solve the issue with your vital essence, senior. Isn’t that a coincidence?”

“Oh? Are you serious about this, young man?”

Peng Wanli suddenly perked up, “Right now?”

“Yes, I have recently come across a fortune, having closely observed a life-and-death struggle between the peak cultivators of this world. I even got involved at the opportune moment, which greatly advanced my state of mind and cultivation, as well as my medical abilities. The basic conditions for treating senior have matured, so naturally, I will relieve senior of the burden of those unresolved matters.”

Peng Wanli laughed heartily, “In that case, follow me.”

He then drifted up, his entire being flickering in and out of existence as if an illusion, swiftly navigating ahead.

Feng Yin didn’t hesitate and followed close behind.

A moment later, the two were already in a deep valley.

But Feng Yin noticed at a glance that Peng Wanli was sitting cross-legged at the highest point, and the phantom that had led the way merged into his body and disappeared.

Feng Yin then realized that the one who had gone out to meet him, the one he’d been chatting with, was indeed a phantom.

And the real Peng Wanli had always been here, not having left for a moment.

Feng Yin was taken aback and quickly floated up, “Has the situation become so serious that you need to suppress it here permanently?”

“Indeed.”

Peng Wanli gave a wry smile repeatedly, his whole body exuding an indescribable weariness.

“Lately, masters from the Abyss have been assaulting the seals nearly ceaselessly, so I naturally can’t leave my post. Guarding the seal, one must not allow for any slip-ups, after all, a momentary neglect, if a corner is breached, can lead to an outbreak, and it could quickly go from bad to worse, all from a small oversight similar to a spark starting a wildfire.”

Peng Wanli sighed softly.

“Leaving only you alone to guard this is too hard,” Feng Yin remarked.

“The Cat Clan and Fox Clan also have people standing by, but they need to join forces, and the time they can maintain is not as long as mine. It’s most reassuring for me to guard this place,” Peng Wanli said.

“But only having you guarding here is not a long-term solution, what about the higher-ups of the other clans? And… the Demon King?”

“They wanted to send support, but I refused them,” Peng Wanli said blandly.

“I remember many years ago when there were frequent signs of an Abyss outbreak, the various factions of the Demon Race gathered their elite forces here. However, after concentrating elite forces here, the Abyss disturbances gradually subsided, with no signs of an explosion. While we were relieved to have another reprieve from the catastrophe of an Abyss eruption, there were complaints, and as the discontent brewed, nearly every day there was infighting, this one saying that… It’s better to wait for the battle to start than to deal with that noise,” Peng Wanli recounted wearily. The conflicts within the Demon Race were often more direct than those of the human race.

Humans still go through a lot of scheming, at least requiring provocation, like what are you looking at?

But demons don’t need that; when there are no external enemies, two tribes staying together for too long will inevitably fight, senseless brawls.

As the brawls continued, the incidents naturally escalated, and logically, the higher-ups of both clans, who had initially tried to mediate, ended up joining the fray themselves.

This kind of thing was all too common, frequently recorded in the histories of the demon race.

“As for the Demon King, he is currently suppressing another Abyss eruption point. His workload is not much lighter than mine,” Peng Wanli continued.

“I see, I was being narrow-minded,” Feng Yin admitted.

“If there is hope for the restoration of my vital essence, I will have more energy to guard here for a while longer. Thank you, Doctor Feng,” said Peng Wanli, tiredly.

Feng Yin was silent for a long while before saying, “Senior is the one who has truly endured hardship, taxing both mind and body, I am deeply impressed.”
