Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Stabilizing the Situation, Caution and Hesitation

Yang Chan entered the infirmary. Cai Kun’s condition was not to be taken lightly. Xu Gaocen was still treating another heavily injured disciple, so Cai Kun had only received some basic treatment.

"The Power in his body was latent before, but it’s suddenly erupted now, worsening his injuries. It’s also infected. Deal with the infected wound first."

Seeing Yang Chan approach, Xu Gaocen explained Cai Kun’s problems simply and clearly.

Cai Kun had been stabbed in the chest, and the attacker’s Power remained inside his body. Under this twofold assault, his injuries had become extremely severe.

Yang Chan already knew about the situation from when he helped treat him earlier, but they had managed to get it under control back then.

He went over to check and, sure enough, a foreign Power was ravaging Cai Kun’s chest wound. The person Xu Gaocen was currently treating was in the same condition.

Seeing this, Yang Chan could only help by first treating the infected wound. As for the erupting Power, Cai Kun would have to rely on his own strength to endure it. There was no other good solution.

As for using someone else’s Power for healing, the risks were extremely high. Even if they both cultivated the Fierce Tiger Force, there would still be differences in how each person’s Cultivation manifested. Using Power to eliminate the foreign Power in Cai Kun’s body at a time like this would be like adding yet another source of pressure on him.

For Cai Kun in his current state, it would be a death sentence.

Yang Chan understood this well. He could only help clean the infected wound, then bandage it, stop the bleeding, and feed him Qi Nourishing Soup to help him recover.

These treatments couldn’t completely heal Cai Kun’s injuries, but they could increase his chances of survival, which was the most Yang Chan could do at the moment.

Xu Gaocen worked faster and finished before he did.

"Pharmacist Xu, are they the only two with this condition?"

After he finished, Yang Chan looked at Xu Gaocen to ask about the situation. Now that this had been discovered, it was only natural to check on the others to prevent another emergency.

"Just the two of them. A few others have minor injuries, but it’s not a major issue."

"Among the people who attacked last night, some of them use a rather insidious Power. It lies dormant in a person’s body after they’re injured. If the wound isn’t serious, the effect isn’t significant, but for those with severe injuries, it can be fatal."

"Fortunately, we discovered it early with these two, so there’s still time to treat them. But now it’s up to their willpower. If they can hold on until tomorrow, they’ll live."

Xu Gaocen knew what Yang Chan was getting at. After discovering the situation, he had already arranged for others to check.

Even without a Pharmacist’s Assistant, having these disciples check on the injuries was no problem.

Besides, after he finished his treatments, he had made a point to check everyone over. Aside from these two unlucky bastards, the others were fine.

"That’s good. A lot of factions made a move yesterday. It seems the powers within White Jade City have also joined forces."

Hearing this, Yang Chan sighed with emotion while speaking tentatively.

’It was a guess on my part, but I have no proof.’

"Yes, White Jade City is really getting more and more chaotic. The situation was fine the last time I came, but I never expected so much trouble this time. Even the Major Sects are being targeted."

"We haven’t been able to confirm which factions are responsible, but we have a general idea. After all, you don’t often see a force capable of mobilizing so many experts."

Xu Gaocen replied, even revealing some confidential information. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Clearly, Xu Gaocen knew a great deal more than Yang Chan.

’Well, he has been to White Jade City far more times than I have, so it’s normal for him to know more about it.’

"Nothing major should happen here for now. Just keep a close eye on these two. I can’t stay up any longer, so I’m going to get some sleep. If anything happens, just send someone to get me."

After saying this, Xu Gaocen yawned and abruptly changed the subject.

"You should go back and rest, Pharmacist Xu."

Yang Chan had wanted to chat a bit more, but seeing Xu Gaocen’s current state, it was clear he had no interest in continuing the conversation, so Yang Chan didn’t press the issue.

’There’s no point in knowing which factions are attacking right now. As long as we can get back to the Cyan Yuan Sect, we’ll surely get clearer information. After all, the Cyan Yuan Sect has also suffered considerable losses. If something happens to Yan Jinfeng and Qi Yuansheng, the feud will become even greater.’

’When that time comes, I’ll naturally find out which faction is targeting us. Knowing now wouldn’t help, since I can’t do anything about them anyway.’

Xu Gaocen left directly, yawning as he went, his energy clearly drained.

Seeing him leave, Yang Chan checked on the condition of the other injured disciples in the infirmary. ’If this continues, it’s not good. The number of injured disciples keeps increasing, but reinforcements aren’t arriving. This is not a good sign at all.’

Cai Kun and the other disciple with severe injuries were now stable, but he would keep a closer eye on them.

Yang Chan waited in the infirmary until nightfall. He didn’t lie down to sleep, but instead monitored the situation outside the Cyan Yuan Pavilion. Based on the attacks from the previous two days, they usually started around this time, as night fell.

Although disciples from the various Sects had been arranged to patrol outside, Yang Chan still paid close attention, lest someone sneak in to assassinate him.

’When two forces are at war, it’s highly likely they’ll target the support staff. And the most crucial among them are the Pharmacists. We can treat injured disciples and even save the severely wounded, allowing their Combat Power to be sustained. Therefore, we are easy targets.’

Having experienced the situations in Tan City and Taiyu City, Yang Chan was well aware of this.

’If those factions still intend to attack, their first targets will undoubtedly be the Pharmacists like me. What’s more, there are even Advanced Pharmacists among the allied forces now. If they were killed, it would be a devastating blow to these Sects.’

Thus, Yang Chan did not sleep. Besides, he had taken a nap during the day, so he wasn’t that tired now, and his Spirit was still quite good.

’I don’t like staying up late, but when my safety is on the line, I can endure it.’

As the sky grew darker, Yang Chan heard no signs of battle outside and let out a sigh of relief. Based on the timing of that faction’s previous attacks, they should have already retreated by now.

But just as Yang Chan began to relax, chaotic sounds erupted, catching him completely by surprise.

Seeing this, Yang Chan immediately hid himself off to the side.

He watched the attacking faction and noticed that their Cultivation Techniques were different from the people of the last two days. It was a new force. Their power was extremely fierce, and their attacks were brutal.

The disciples from the various Sects within the Cyan Yuan Pavilion rushed to provide support. In an instant, the two major forces clashed, with numerous experts on both sides.

Yang Chan observed from the shadows, feeling thankful that Elder Ji Feng and the others had managed to win over a few more factions. Otherwise, given yesterday’s situation, he wasn’t sure if they could have held their ground.

After all, there were more attackers this time, and their Combat Power was greater. Every one of them fought as if their lives depended on it, completely unlike yesterday’s hesitant faction. Seeing this, Yang Chan frowned slightly. ’This attacking force is strange,’ he thought. At the same time, he felt that they fought like people with battlefield experience.
