Chapter 305: Virtuous Heaven Temple (1)
"Don't…don't do anything rash. I… I know how to close the door…" As the horde of densely packed monsters continued to draw nearer, the party of six prepared to face the coming onslaught. Just then, they heard the halting voice of a person behind them.
The six of them looked back as one and found a youth who was covered from head to toe in blood leaning against the frame of Virtuous Heavenly Temple's door. His hair was a mess, and there were several terrifying scars on his face. He looked like he'd just returned from a great battle.
When everyone's attention was focused on him, the youth straightened his body with great difficulty. With one hand pressed against the other, he stumbled as he jogged towards the bra.s.s door. He then started feeling around the left side of the door. He appeared to have found something, as a series of clicks could be heard and the door slowly shut on its own.
Everyone took a step back as they watched the door gradually close. Thankfully, when they'd previously opened the doors, they hadn't opened them too wide, or the monsters would've been able to make it inside in an instant. With that, the enormous doors were shut tight.
'Bang. Bang. Bang.'
The moment the doors closed, the people inside could hear the distinct sounds of several weighty objects slamming against it in succession.
Seeing the party standing there in silence, the youth thought that they were worried about the monsters outside breaking in, so he put on a weak smile and said, "Don't… worry… this door has my Master's seal on it; they won't be able to enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, the youth fell to the floor; almost as if he'd used up the last of his strength. Luckily, he was caught by The Winds Of Ximen who'd instinctively reached out to support him.
The youth's eyes unfocused for a moment. It took him a long while before he was able to regain consciousness. He struggled to stand up before giving his thanks.
Looking at the condition the youth was in, Quiet And Steadfast had no idea when the youth was going to kick the bucket. "Your wounds are extremely severe and you need immediate attention."
"Then I'll have to trouble the young… young heroes, to help support me into the temple's interior where there's medicine that I can use for healing."
With The Winds Of Ximen's help, the youth made his way into Virtuous Heaven Temple. Under his guidance, Pure Crane found some medicine that could be used to heal the youth. After applying the medicine, the youth's face turned a healthy shade of pink in the blink of an eye.
