Chapter 377 Offering A Solution
Fu Deming sighed deeply, glancing over at Hu Tao's unconscious body. The energy within him seemed to have dried up within half an hour of treatment. He ran a hand through his grey hair, his countenance reflecting helplessness.
"His soul has been severely damaged," Fu Deming began, his voice echoing the grave concern he felt. "I can stabilize his condition for now, but I can't heal him. I don't have the expertise or the means to do so."
The room fell into a tense silence, the gravity of his words sinking in. Hu Tao, a pillar of the Xuantian sect, was lying powerlessly on the bed. No one knew whether he would be able to rise again or not.
"I have already sent a message to junior sister Liying," Fu Deming continued, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "She has vast knowledge about healing techniques. If anyone in the Xuantian Sect can help Hu Tao, it is her."
Ying Chao's face hardened, and he gave a curt nod, signaling his approval of the decision. It was their best bet, and they were running out of options. The atmosphere was tense, everyone aware of the high stakes at play.
"Ying Chao, what is the imperial army suggesting? Are they ready to help us in our battle?" Fu Deming inquired. He had left the battlefield earlier after sensing the arrival of the imperial army. So, he was now curious about their opinion regarding the battle.
Ying Chao mentioned the plan suggested by General Huang. "Senior, general Huang from the imperial army believes we should prioritize the city's defenses. If we maintain our position, the devil forces will scatter eventually. Thus, we can aim for opportunities when we can ambush their leaders."
Fu Deming pondered on this, stroking his beard. It was a strategy that did not take immediate action against the devil army. Instead, it allowed the enemy to disperse of their own accord, leaving them susceptible to sudden attacks.
"It's a good plan according to current circumstances," Fu Deming replied after a while. "We have yet to see the true capabilities of the devils. Moreover, they have a lot of tricks in their sleeves. It is better to have patience and force them to expose all their cards", he further added.
"Zhan Chen, what is your opinion? Have you got any suggestion regarding senior Tao's condition?", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen.
Other experts may consider Zhan Chen as a mere junior but Ying Chao didn't think like them. He considered Zhan Chen as a capable young man and a man with great abilities.
The peak master of the Earth peak frowned after seeing Ying Chao looking towards Zhan Chen. He couldn't understand why Ying Chao would ask the opinion of an eighteen year old young man.
Fu Deming merely smiled after seeing the situation. "Zhan Chen, do you have any suggestion?", he asked to lighten the mood of everyone. Him looking towards Zhan Chen for a suggestion would help Ying Chao from escaping an awkward position.
"Senior Deming, I currently do not have any suggestion but I want to have a look at senior Tao first. I want to know, to what extent, senior Tao is injured," Zhan Chen replied.
"Oh, you think you can check the injury of Hu Tao!", Fu Deming raised his eyebrow. His curiousity piqued as he allowed Zhan Chen to examine Hu Tao. The peak master of the Earth peak wanted to say something but he stayed silent after seeing the curious expression on Fu Deming 's face.
Zhan Chen didn't use his soul consciousness while checking the soul injury of Hu Tao. Instead, he tapped into his vast pool of spiritual energy and inserted a strand of spiritual energy to check the injury of Hu Tao.
The peak master of the Earth peak became surprised after seeing how masterfully Zhan Chen was using his spiritual energy. He looked towards Fu Deming with a look of uncertainty on his face.
"Junior brother Jia, I have forgot to mention one thing. Zhan Chen is the youngest formation grandmaster of our Xuantian sect", he spoke with a smile on his face. His words, stunned both Ying Chao and the peak master of the Earth sect. Both of them became speechless for a moment as they looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Although the injury in senior Hu Tao's soul is grave, it is still treatable. I know about a pill which can replenish his depleted soul", Zhan Chen spoke after finishing his examination.
"What pill it is?", peak master of the Earth peak asked. He didn't have the previous dissatisfaction, he was feeling towards Zhan Chen.
"It is Five harmony soul resurgence pill. If senior Liying is unable to heal senior Tao, we can take the help of that pill", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Zhan Chen, I have to leave. General Huang has come with a message from my family", Lan Yueyue spoke. She came forward to talk with Zhan Chen after he came back from city lord's palace.
"Is it something important?", Zhan Chen asked.
"Yes, they are providing me with a cultivation opportunity. So, I can't deny even if I want", Lan Yueyue replied.
"Well then, go back to your Lan family. You cultivation is more important than anything else", Zhan Chen spoke.
"But,there is also my city", Lan Yueyue spoke. She was feeling reluctant to leave the Hundred blossom city at a crucial time like this.
"Don't worry, about your city. I will try my best to protect it but you know, situation is unpredictable at this moment", Zhan Chen spoke.
"I understand. Merely worrying about a thing will not help you if you can't have power to protect it", Lan Yueyue spoke.
"Shall we go somewhere else? We can't talk when people are eying us like this", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and followed Zhan Chen towards a distant location.
"Follow them. Also find out who this young man is?", a tall armoured man spoke to his subordinates. He had a frown on his face as he looked towards the fading silhouettes of Zhan Chen and Lan Yueyue.
"A tribulation realm expert from the Lan family is with them. We can't follow them blatantly unless we want to offend them", a subordinate spoke quitely to the tall armoured man.
"Fine, no need to go after them. But I need to learn the identity of that young man. I want to see whether he has qualification to talk with Yueyue like this", the tall armoured man spoke.
"Yueyue, it will be unfair for me if you leave like this", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Tell me, what else I can do for you?", Lan Yueyue replied with a loving expression on her face. She was feeling a little shy after seeing the intense gaze of Zhan Chen on her body.
"It is something, we can't do in public. So, oh beautiful city lord, please accompany your admirer into the mansion", Zhan Chen spoke.
Lan Yueyue 's face reddened after she heard the words of Zhan Chen. She threw a look towards her subordinate before entering the abandoned mansion.
Zhan Chen followed her inside, eager to taste the beauty before she left. Lan Yueyue had a blush on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen. She could feel that, her own body temperature was rising because of the expectation she felt in her heart.
"Zhan Chen, I will make sure to let you feel good before I leave", Lan Yueyue spoke. Her emotion for Zhan Chen was almost gushing out from her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
"I also have the same idea. So, why shouldn't we begin?", Zhan Chen looked towards Lan Yueyue. Both of them came closer to eachother and both of their lips met. Their kiss lasted for few long minutes. Lan Yueyue wanted more from Zhan Chen's lips. So, she once again brought her lips closer to Zhan Chen's.
"Yueyue, strip. I want to see you throughly before you leave", Zhan Chen spoke. He proceeded to remove his own clothes as Lan Yueyue also did the same. Her beautiful body completely unraveled infront of Zhan Chen after she removed the last piece of her undergarments.
Yueyue, you are growing beautiful day by day. Look at these, are not they growing quite first", Zhan Chen pointed towards her shapely peaks.
He stretched his his hands and knedded her shapely mountains with his palms. An indistinct moan came out from her mouth as waves of pleasure surged through her body.
"Zhan Chen, can you use your mouth?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with expectation in her eyes. She was being quite bold today as she didn't know when she would see Zhan Chen once again.
"Happily, I can offer my mouth everyday if you start to produce milk in them", Zhan Chen spoke. He pressed his mouth on her peaks and started to nibble on them.
"Pervert! How can you think about stealing our baby food?", Lan Yueyue murmured. Her eyes automatically closed as she felt waves after after waves of pleasure coarsing through her body.
Zhan Chen nibbled her peaks untill her tips became completely red. Her peak swelled so much that it seemed like it would burst at any moment.
"Zhan Chen, can we start? I am feeling.....", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen with water filled eyes. She was already at the point of reaching her zenith as Zhan Chen stimulated her only by licking her peaks.
"Okay, let's begin. I will not let you go untill I have my fill", Zhan Chen spoke. He raised her by her waist and let her latched onto his arms. Her legs held onto his waist as he penetrated her sacred garden with his dragon.
