Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Seeing Er Mao staggering, Shen Haoran flashed to his side and caught him in his arms. Er Mao looked as if he could collapse at any moment.

"Brother Haoran, it really is you!" Sensing that familiar presence, a strained smile touched the corner of Er Mao’s lips before he passed out completely.

"Er Mao!" Shen Haoran’s brow furrowed tightly as he looked at the unconscious boy. Da Mao and Er Mao were the closest people to Lady Ya, like her own little brothers. She took them everywhere and would never allow any harm to come to them. ’But now Er Mao is this badly hurt... doesn’t that mean something happened to Lady Ya, too?’

’Changmao, you’re the most familiar with Lady Ya’s aura. See if she’s in Central City!’ Shen Haoran said quickly in his mind. Lady Ya had the Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline, which the Taotie, Changmao, was extremely familiar with. He was the perfect one to search for her.

Hearing this, Changmao understood Shen Haoran’s urgency. He immediately closed his eyes and began to search. A moment later, he said with a grim expression, ’Nothing. I can’t sense her aura!’

’Damn it, something really did happen!’ Shen Haoran cursed under his breath. Lady Ya and the others had arrived in Central City ahead of him to lay the groundwork for the Fox Race’s development, but it seemed something had gone wrong.

’Don’t panic just yet,’ Changmao comforted him mentally. ’My perception range is limited. Maybe she’s just not in the vicinity.’

Shen Haoran looked down at the gravely injured Er Mao in his arms, his heart weighing heavily in his chest. ’With Er Mao this hurt, it would be a miracle if Lady Ya were safe. But since I can’t sense her aura, the only one who knows what happened to her is the boy in my arms.’

"Let’s go. We’re heading back to our place," Shen Haoran said grimly, scooping up Er Mao. He then dashed back toward the alley they had come from. The only way to get news about Lady Ya was to wake Er Mao.

Seeing Shen Haoran’s frantic retreat, Feng Li seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately followed him, rushing toward their outpost from Burning Flame City.

After rushing back to the outpost, Shen Haoran didn’t say a word and dove straight into the Alchemy Room. Moments later, he emerged with a vial of high-grade medicinal fluid. He then placed Er Mao in a pool of water and dripped the fluid into it.

HISS... The elixir Shen Haoran had concocted quickly seeped into Er Mao’s body. As it did, its effects began to take hold. Soon, the numerous wounds on Er Mao’s body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye. Moments later, only faint scars remained.

After a while, Er Mao had completely absorbed the elixir. His body, which had been on the verge of collapse, had now recovered somewhat. After helping Er Mao back to a room, the boy finally regained consciousness.

"Brother Haoran!" Er Mao cried out the moment he awoke.

Seeing Er Mao awake, Shen Haoran quickly helped him sit up and asked in a grim voice, "What happened? Why are you so badly injured? Where is your sister, Lady Ya? And Da Mao?" Shen Haoran fired off all the questions weighing on his mind.

At Shen Haoran’s questions, Er Mao’s expression turned grim, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. Seeing the dark look on Er Mao’s face and the murderous glint in his eyes, Shen Haoran’s heart sank. ’Something definitely happened.’

"After we parted ways with you, Brother Haoran, we headed for Central City. We wanted to carve out a territory for the Fox Race nearby. We knew it would be difficult to start from scratch, so we allied ourselves with the local Golden Rat Race. We thought that with their influence in the area and Lady Ya’s formidable power, our Fox Race would rise quickly. But the Clan Leader of the Golden Rat Race coveted Lady Ya’s beauty. He drugged her, intending to take her by force!" Er Mao said in a low voice. As he spoke, Shen Haoran could clearly feel the boy’s rage, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Hmph. Fortunately, Lady Ya has the power of the Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline. Even poisoned, she still managed to kill that Golden Rat Clan Leader. But that didn’t solve the problem; it just provoked the entire Golden Rat Race into hunting us down. Their attempts all failed against Lady Ya’s immense power, so in the end, they reported our location to the White Tiger Race, one of the Four Great Divine Beast Families of Zhongdu. After hearing about her, the White Tiger Race dispatched several powerful masters to capture her. From what they said, it seems they want to get their hands on her Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline. Lady Ya was no match for the White Tiger Race’s masters and could only flee with us. We’re hiding in a secret place, but Lady Ya is seriously injured... she’s dying!" Er Mao continued, and as he finished, tears streamed down his face. Lady Ya was the best sister he could ask for; he couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to her.

"Brother Haoran, I only snuck out because I heard people in Central City talking about you. I couldn’t believe it was really you! Brother Haoran, please, you have to go save Lady Ya! I don’t want her to die!" Er Mao pleaded, clutching Shen Haoran’s arm.

As Shen Haoran listened to Er Mao, his face grew incredibly dark. An icy killing intent filled the room, making even Feng Li, who was standing to the side, feel his breath catch in his throat. It felt as if Death itself had placed a scythe against his neck.

Shen Haoran took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the killing intent in his heart. He gently patted Er Mao’s head and said in a soft voice, "Don’t worry. I will go save Lady Ya. You just rest."

There seemed to be a magical quality to Shen Haoran’s voice. After telling Shen Haoran where Lady Ya was hiding, Er Mao fell into a deep sleep. He hadn’t slept so soundly since the Golden Rat Race began hunting them.

Shen Haoran and Feng Li quietly left the room. Seeing Shen Haoran’s grim expression, Feng Li hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Haoran, are you going to look for your friend?"

"Yes." Shen Haoran nodded. ’According to Changmao, Lady Ya’s in terrible condition. If I don’t go, I’m afraid she really might die.’

"But the competition for the title of Pill Emperor is in half a day. If you go now, the timing will be..." Feng Li said, frowning.

"Hall Master Feng, I have to go. Even if it means missing the competition for Pill Emperor, I’m going," Shen Haoran said grimly. Compared to Lady Ya, even the Heaven and Earth Spirits meant nothing to him. He would never stand by and watch someone he cared for die.
