"Do you all really not trust me?" Just as Muzi was about to leave, Xia Liu's teasing voice arose at the doorway. "Xia Liu!" Hearing this voice, deeply engraved in their hearts, both Muzi and Yan Min became excited. "You've returned, aren't you hurt?" Ouyang Lingtian began to regain his senses as he slowly stood up from the ground. At this moment, he felt the strength inside his body slowly draining away. In just a few hours, his cultivation might be gone. Without cultivation, without inner qi to suppress the poison, what followed would be death. "Nonsense, the Yagyū Family is nothing. If it weren't for the urgent need to come back and cure your poison, even exterminating them would have been possible." As Xia Liu spoke, he took out the sparkling small bottle. The appearance of the bottle caused Ouyang Lingtian, Muzi, and Yan Min to tremble with astonishment. Xia Liu actually brought back the antidote! And he seemed to be without any injuries. Suddenly, they remembered what he had just said, "If it weren't for the urgent need to come back, even exterminating them would have been possible!" Powerful! Overbearing! Unparalleled! "Is this the Nether Emperor who reigns over the Middle East…" Yan Min and Muzi exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. "Hurry up and take it. If this is poison, then I will go and flatten the Yagyū Family." Xia Liu was very serious when he said this, making it hard to read his thoughts. Right, especially for Ouyang Lingtian. He was finding Xia Liu more and more incomprehensible. Why would he be so good to him? To flatten the Yagyū Family for his sake. Perhaps Xia Liu was just that straightforward and simple, or was he overthinking? Gazing at Xia Liu for a long while, Ouyang Lingtian's face revealed a radiant smile; he then took the bottle and downed the medicine inside. As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, Xia Liu immediately grabbed Ouyang Lingtian's wrist. "Hmm, it's an antidote. I'll assist you a bit more!" Feeling the effect of the medicine, Xia Liu hurried Wooden Spirit Energy directly into Ouyang Lingtian's body. Together with the antidote, it soothed his five organs, and the Wooden Spirit Energy also repaired his damaged organs at a terrifying speed. Hm? Sensing the changes within his body, Ouyang Lingtian's eyes widened. He changed his opinion about Xia Liu once again. As he had claimed, a Divine Doctor indeed! Ouyang Lingtian could clearly feel his damaged organs healing. He could even sense Xia Liu's energy, which seemed like inner qi but was not quite the same. At that moment, he couldn't quite describe what he was feeling. Ten minutes later, Xia Liu released Ouyang Lingtian's wrist. The moment they parted, the latter spat out a mouthful of dark blood. "Lingtian, how are you feeling?" Seeing him vomit blood again, Yan Min and Muzi became anxious. "I'm very good!" Feeling that peak condition once more, Ouyang Lingtian felt an indescribable excitement. "Hm! My inner qi seems to have increased a bit!" Suddenly, Ouyang Lingtian's pupils contracted because he noticed some changes in his dantian when he was gathering his qi - there were faint indications of a breakthrough to the peak of the Mysterious Rank. "Xia Liu, was it you who did this?" "Don't overthink it, a rise in cultivation is a good thing," Xia Liu waved his hand without explaining further, he had merely assimilated the Wooden Spirit Energy into Ouyang Lingtian's inner qi. That Ouyang Lingtian showed signs of a breakthrough was unforeseen. "Thank you," Ouyang Lingtian, devoid of his pride, bowed with clasped hands before Xia Liu, expressing gratitude as a junior would to an elder. "You've just recovered, so take plenty of rest. Also, what I need to say is, the Yagyū Family might know my identity. Once they start investigating, Yan Min and Muzi might be exposed, so we need to get back to Huaxia as soon as possible." "Ah! So soon?" Muzi responded with surprise and consternation. If their cover was blown, it would be an irreversible disaster. "I will contact a ship right away, we're leaving tonight." Looking up at the sky that was about to brighten, Yan Min said and immediately left the house. Afterward, Muzi, Xia Liu, and Ouyang Lingtian each entered their rooms. In the room Xia Liu was in, two items were placed on the table. A smooth Demon Stone and a Golden Spirit Stabilizing Needle emitting a golden luster. He didn't pay particular attention to the Spirit Stabilizing Needle but instead focused his gaze on the Demon Stone. If he were to forge it himself, he could make at least a dozen pieces of armor that swords and spears couldn't penetrate, best for protecting the girls. However, he still had to hand over the Demon Stone to Fang Huasheng. In that case, then... Lost in thought, Xia Liu activated the Five Elements Mantra, and the Five Element Spiritual Energy surged out. Within the Five Element Spiritual Energy, the purest was the Fire Spirit Energy. Thus, Xia Liu condensed a seal in front of his chest, and controlled the Fire Spirit Energy down to a subtle level. Seal applied, his fingers moved towards the Demon Stone. Hiss...hiss...hiss... At Xia Liu's fingertips, the Fire Spirit Energy actually condensed into a small red sword. The blade of the sword slashed at the Demon Stone, immediately producing a hissing cacophony. Fire Spirit Sword! Just like the Golden Spirit Sword, it was made by the same Seal Decree, but because of the purity of the Fire Attribute Spirit Energy, the Fire Spirit Sword was much more domineering than the Golden Spirit Sword. Even so, as soon as the Fire Spirit Sword touched the Demon Stone, it was still at a disadvantage. Ten minutes passed, and the Demon Stone was not even halfway cut through. Though some energy was consumed, Xia Liu's smile grew even brighter on his face. The Demon Stone possessed such a degree of toughness that even with Spiritual Energy and Seal Decree, it couldn't be immediately broken through. One could imagine how it could withstand hits from external forces. Eventually, Xia Liu spent half an hour before he could cut the Demon Stone into two halves. If he hadn't unsealed the Energy Sea Acupoint, the half-hour's consumption would have made him break out in sweat. "Elder, I'm taking Sister Fang back home with me, and I'll need half of the Demon Stone too. I hope you won't blame me, after all, its future use is to protect Sister Fang." After tidying up, Xia Liu wrapped each half of the Demon Stone separately. As for the Spirit Stabilizing Needle, he didn't rush to put it back in place. They hadn't yet left the bounds of the Island Nation, and an accident could happen at any time. There might even be a situation that requires the second seal to be broken in an emergency. Xia Liu didn't want to face such a scenario, but life is full of uncertainties, and who knows what the future held. If the second seal really had to be broken, then all he could do was pray... Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian didn't step out of the house all day, both of them had exhausted a great deal of energy, and while there was still time before their departure, they took the opportunity to sit cross-legged and recover their Inner Qi and Spiritual Energy.

"Yan Min, why have you come back so late?" Upon seeing Yan Min enter the house, Muzi immediately asked. "There are checkpoints everywhere on the streets now, it's quite troublesome. But fortunately, I have contacted a boat. It will set sail at one in the morning, so we need to reach the spot by midnight." Thinking back to the strict checkpoints he saw on his way back, Yan Min swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. If a regular person had come this time, they might have had to stay here forever. Luckily, with powerful martial artists like Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian, no matter how strict the security, with their abilities, they could still return to Huaxia. Click... Just as Yan Min and Muzi were about to speak, two crisp sounds of doors opening were heard. Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian were seen walking out of their rooms at the same time...
