Chapter 2408  Life Debts

~HUALA~

The soft yet firm surface below the group seemingly moved and changed its shape. "Whoa!" Ziran and the others were surprised by it and wondered what was happening.

Just a couple seconds later though, the clouds had transformed into a ship!

"Dao Insights!" Monk Hushu realized what it was due to the ease with which she had done it.

Not to mention there were no movement of Immortal Qi in it, which showed that this was purely her control over the Dao!

"Cloud Dao Insights?" Ziran recognized.

This was merely the start of their shock though as the woman waved her hand lightly, causing a strong wind to blow.

~WHOOSH~

In the next second, the cloud ship rose into the sky and flew at a blinding speed!

"Wind Dao Insights too!?" There was no way Crown Prince Feng Shun wouldn"t be able to recognize them being a wind user as well.

"She really is a Celestial…" Qiao De rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had died and all this was just a heavenly dream.

Never in his life had he ever thought that he would be able to meet a Celestial in person.

~SHUA~

The Saintess waved her finger, causing Lin Mu"s body to rise as a soft bed formed below him as well as Lady Kang. She could tell the woman was not well either and decided to help her seeing that she was Lin Mu"s companion too.

Besides, Saintess knew who everyone here was and Little Shrubby had also conveyed a bit about what had happened.

"Tell me now." The Saintess demanded before using a hand seal.

A fragrant wind filled the area, that caused everyone to feel energized. "I can control my Qi again!" Daoist Chu said feeling much better.

"She surely is a Celestial…" Elder Hu thought, seeing her unfathomable skills.

At the same time she tapped her finger over the foreheads of Lin Mu and Lady Kang, imbuing an energy within them that quickly stabilized their condition.

Next she took out two pills and fed them to both individuals.

~HONGLONG~

Almost immediately the vitality of both injured persons stabilized. Min Ju who saw the improvement in Lady Kang"s condition almost teared up.

"I"ll tell you everything, Honored Celestial." She said with a bowed head before starting to narrate all that had happened.

The ship rose into the sky rapidly and disappeared among the clouds, invisible to everyone else. Despite the speed, the people on it didn"t feel the wind pressure as it was all being protected by the Saintess"s power.

The Saintess stood at the helm of the cloud ship as she listened to all that Min Ju had to say.

The maid explained everything in detail, not daring to miss even the smallest fact.

An hour went by like this as she learned of all that happened, right from the strangeness of the expedition, the Chimeric Beasts, the Black Fin Island members, Yao Changying and the rewards of the offering hall.

The highlight of it all was of course, Lin Mu healing Lady Kang by consuming thousands of bloodline essence crystal and finally forcing himself to fight against tens of millions of foe"s alone by using the power of the Devil Path.

"So that was what I felt within him back then." The Saintess was rather shocked internally but didn"t show it on her face. "He forcefully used the power of souls to open a portal here." She understood.

But rather than that, she was more renounced about Lin Mu"s deep sleep.

"The Well of Slumber has activated in full power… Eight years go by and you return like this…" A sigh escaped from her mouth.

She felt a mixture of emotions but was relieved that Lin Mu had managed to come on out. Though she had never thought that despite Lin Mu having Xukong with him, he had reached such a condition.

Her senses had checked Lin Mu"s body and saw the wreck it was in. The problem was a lot deeper than others actually knew.

"He burned away his Body Cultivation to save the woman and even endured the spirits of thousands of bloodlines." The Saintess found Lin Mu"s acts to be commendable but reckless at the same time. "His body will take a long time to recover on its own, even with the Well of Slumber. The remnants of the bloodlines will also have effects on him. Especially the Guardian beast bloodlines." She already knew that it was a miracle that Lin Mu had managed to consume so many bloodlines.

If it were anyone else, even a handful of bloodlines might have made them explode not to mention thousands of them along with the guardian beast ones.

"Even the crazed barbarians have not be able to endure the bloodlines of Guardian beasts before." The Saintess remembered.

But now that it had all happened, she had no choice but to accept it. ~purr~

She looked at the kitten who was fast asleep in her arms and checked his condition too. Little Shrubby was asleep from exhaustion.

"He pushed himself to the limits too." She thought while stroking the kitten"s fur.

"Honored Celestial, our Kang Clan owes a life debt to Daoist Lin Mu. We shall do everything in our power to restore him to his peak condition." Elder Hu finally spoke after Min Ju had finished speaking. "I swear it upon my soul." He said while kowtowing deeply.

"I swear upon my soul too." Min Ju did the same and kowtowed.

"The Dao Wind Empire shall help Daoist Lin Mu too." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke up. "I owe him too." "The Shang Dynasty shall help Daoist Lin Mu in any way possible as well." Crown Princess Shang offered too.

One by one, they all offered their help including Qiao De who possibly had the least to offer compared to others.

"Very well." The Saintess replied. "What I can do in this world is limited due to the restrictions, but there are still somethings that can be done."
