Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: Caravan Rescue
The venom of the Fifth Order Demonic Beast was truly formidable; it took half an hour before the Jade lting Pill completely purged the poison from the black-clad man’s body.
The black-clad man exhaled a turbid breath and slowly stood up. He reckoned that Qin Sisi must have already fled back to the Taiyi Mountain Base. He had no intention of engaging the Panhu family directly, so he decided to call it quits for now.
He conjured magic wings on his back and swiftly flew in the direction from which he had co, leaving the Taiyi Mountain territory behind.
Along the way, he carefully observed and confird that no one was tailing him. He was certain that today’s events would remain undiscovered. Even if Ye You later suspected him, he could deny it outright—after all, there was no evidence, and Ye You wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
If he had known that Qin Sisi was unconscious not far from him, he would surely have regretted his easy decision to abandon pursuit. But the world offers no "ifs"; a missed opportunity remains missed.
Indeed, Qin Sisi had escaped, though wounded and desperate. Her anxiety and fear clouded her judgnt, and even the lingering snake venom affected her sowhat, causing her to mix up directions. Instead of flying toward the Taiyi Mountain Base for help, she mistakenly headed toward the periphery of Taiyi Mountain.
When she realized her bearings were wrong, she stopped to discern the correct direction. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness and weakness surged over her, robbing her of consciousness in an instant.
After struggling for so long, she finally succumbed.
Her eyes closed as her body plumted, crashing onto a patch of lush grass. The impact was significant, but thankfully, she landed on her back. Her Wings of Rainbow absorbed much of the force, sparing her from further severe injury.
Once she completely lost consciousness, the Wings of Rainbow, devoid of her divine sense control, automatically retracted.
A lonely, battered figure lay motionless on the verdant grass, as if never to wake again.
Amid this solitude, a serene and lodious flute tune began to waft through the air, lingering faintly, wrapping around the ears like a gentle embrace. It was as though the lody floated across boundless skies, scattering flower petals, and like winds flowing through deep ravines and restless pine forests.
The ethereal notes of the flute danced and andered, drifting past dense mountains, expansive grasslands, dark oceans, and vast deserts. Like a gossar thread of cloud silk, it found its way into Qin Sisi’s ears, quieting her soul and washing away the echoes of chaos.
When Qin Sisi eventually opened her eyes again, the flute’s heavenly lody left the deepest impression on her, offering a warmth and security in this unfamiliar environnt.
She sat up, and a brisk voice beside her spoke: "Miss, you’re finally awake. You’ve been unconscious for three days and three nights."
Following the voice, Qin Sisi saw a woman seated a short distance away. She appeared to be in her early thirties, dressed in a grayish-blue gown, her hair tied in a low ponytail at the back, smiling lightly as she looked at Qin Sisi.
"Big Sister, was it you who saved ?" Qin Sisi hesitantly asked in a soft voice.
The woman chuckled and replied, "I was the one who changed your clothes and helped you heal in my carriage. But the one who rescued you wasn’t ; it was a young man in our caravan nad Ah Xia."
"Ah Xia?" Qin Sisi muttered to herself, repeating the na. She carefully processed the woman’s words, then suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "Are you part of a caravan?"
The woman nodded. "Yes, we’re a rchant caravan headed to Midair City. We recently picked up so goods from Miaoyin City and were heading back to Midair City. While resting near Taiyi Mountain, Ah Xia found you collapsed beside the grass and brought you back."
The woman’s account perfectly matched where Qin Sisi had fallen unconscious. Her straightforward manner and forthright deanor reassured Qin Sisi, making her feel that there was no deception involved.
Feeling a bit calr, Qin Sisi expressed her gratitude to the woman: "Thank you, Big Sister, and please pass on my thanks to Young Master Ah Xia."
"Young Master Ah Xia?" The woman laughed heartily, her gaze flitting over Qin Sisi. "Why don’t you thank him yourself?"
Qin Sisi felt slightly bewildered but didn’t dwell on it. She simply followed along: "Alright, I’ll personally thank Young Master Ah Xia later."
The woman rely smiled and said nothing more.
anwhile, Qin Sisi began pondering her next steps. She couldn’t stay with the caravan indefinitely; she needed to find a way to return to the Taiyi Mountain Base or locate Ye You sohow.
Assessing her body’s condition, she realized that while her injuries—both external and internal—were still severe, her life wasn’t in danger. With daily therapy through Wood Magic and the use of Bodhi Pills, she could gradually recover given so ti.
Casually, Qin Sisi started to ask the woman about the caravan’s itinerary. She learned that the caravan had just passed Scholar City the previous day, which left Qin Sisi feeling a pang of regret. If she’d regained consciousness earlier, leaving the caravan in Scholar City would’ve been safe. While she didn’t expect Master Yipiao to involve the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle in conflict, she believed that he would aid her should she appeal to him.
Sensing Qin Sisi’s thoughts, the woman stated, "The caravan can’t turn back. If you want to go to Scholar City, you’d have to disembark and walk back yourself."
Walking back wasn’t entirely impossible, but Qin Sisi weighed the risks carefully and cautiously inquired, "Then, Big Sister, may I ask—where are we right now?"
The woman replied, "We’ve just entered Crystal City. After leaving Crystal City and crossing Yuding Snow Mountain, we’ll reach Midair City."
"Crystal City? The Qing Ming Family’s Crystal City?" Qin Sisi exclaid in surprise.
The woman nodded and replied, "That’s right. The Qing Ming Family has produced two successive Holy Empresses and has won the trust of the Jiuxi Royal Family. They’ve grown increasingly powerful, and the environnt in Crystal City is relatively stable."
Upon learning they were in Crystal City, Qin Sisi decided against returning to Scholar City alone. Given her serious injuries and weakened combat capabilities, she didn’t dare take the risk of encountering Ya Ling and his father. It would likely end in disaster. It was safer to stay with the caravan and use its guise as protection.
It was precisely because the Qing Ming Family had produced two successive Holy Empresses that they were so eager to produce a third, making Qin Sisi their obstacle.
Moreover, since this caravan was heading to Midair City where Ye You was currently located, joining them would provide an opportunity to find him.
With these considerations in mind, Qin Sisi told the woman that she happened to be going to Midair City to find a friend and wished to temporarily stay with the caravan. To express her gratitude for their rescue and assistance, she offered to pay the caravan so Spirit Stones.
At dawn, when the morning light broke, the caravan made a stop. The woman left to inform Ah Xia that the girl he rescued had awakened, then told the caravan leader about Qin Sisi’s intention to stay with the caravan and her offer to pay Spirit Stones.
Soon, Qin Sisi t the person whom the woman had described as her savior—Ah Xia.
