Chapter 115: I Am Willing to Help You Recover Your Memories

As soon as Chu Han finished speaking, his fist pierced straight through Meng Xiang’s chest. Meng Xiang stared wide-eyed, as though he could not believe what was happening before him. Black blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he died an unjust death.

After dealing with him, Chu Han was just about to leave when Jade Phoenix sneered from within his mind. “Go ahead and leave. The Blood Demons haven’t been dealt with yet. Even if you go over there, you’ll still have to endure their attacks.”

Hearing this, Chu Han froze. Meng Xiang was already dead, so how could the Blood Demons still be unresolved?

“You really are an idiot. Look over there and tell me what you see. The Blood Demon Art is actually being controlled by that black blood. Only by destroying it can the Blood Demon Art be completely broken. Once that happens, all the Blood Demons on the battlefield will lose control and die.”

Jade Phoenix spoke helplessly. Chu Han turned and looked, spotting the container of black blood that had previously been placed before Meng Xiang. At once, he understood. Knowledge really did make all the difference.

He gave an embarrassed laugh and walked over. Afraid that touching the black blood might cause trouble, he controlled the lightning and shattered the container directly. The black blood splashed across the ground, then evaporated at once. Only after completing this did he sigh with relief and leave.

In truth, Chu Han was also baffled. Why had only four experts from the Wolf Clan been assigned to protect Meng Xiang? He had assumed that more powerful experts would be guarding him in secret, but there had been no one. It made no sense to him.

By rights, the Blood Demon Art had played a major role in enabling the Wolf Clan to launch this offensive, yet they had still acted so recklessly. He found it extremely difficult to understand.

The truth was that the Wolf Clan was willing but unable to do more. If they could have, they would certainly have protected Meng Xiang properly. Unfortunately, once the three great sects joined the battle, the Wolf Clan had been forced to dispatch its experts to stop them, leaving no one else available.

Moreover, Meng Xiang was exceedingly confident. He believed himself invincible, and therefore saw no problem in having no one protect him. That was what had given Chu Han an opening.

By the time Chu Han returned to the battlefield, the Blood Demons had long since vanished, leaving corpses strewn across the ground. From not far away came the sound of pounding hooves. When he looked over, he saw poisonous insects crawling everywhere, while the ones fighting them were actually armored soldiers. Leading them was Xue Ren.

Chu Han frowned. How had Great Chu received the news as well? Even so, there should have been no reason for them to join the battle directly. Great Chu had always remained indifferent to the affairs of the Eastern Wilderness.

“Xue Ren, why are you here? The Eastern Wilderness has nothing to do with Great Chu.”

Chu Han hurried over and called out to him.

“You don’t understand. Now that the Eastern Wilderness has fallen into chaos, His Majesty naturally had to send troops to suppress the disorder. Technically speaking, the Eastern Wilderness is still Great Chu’s territory. But you needn’t worry—His Majesty has no intention of coveting this land. This is merely a routine military deployment.”

After their previous battle, Xue Ren’s attitude toward Chu Han had undergone a complete reversal. He now treated him with the utmost respect, which made Chu Han feel rather pleased.

Hearing this, Chu Han nodded lightly. Since Great Chu had sent troops, the crisis in the Eastern Wilderness could be resolved. After all, professionally trained soldiers were different. Their combat strength might not compare with that of the experts of the Eastern Wilderness, but in a war like this, an army was clearly better suited to the task.

“Damn it, where did all these insects come from? Charge! They’re only insects—what are you afraid of? Anyone who dares retreat will answer to me!”

Xue Ren wielded his spear, attacking the insects on the ground while shouting loudly. As a general, he naturally knew how to rouse his soldiers’ fighting spirit.

But when Chu Han saw the insects covering the ground, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He had been so focused on resolving the Blood Demon Art that he had forgotten about Liu Qingli. The Wolf Clan had launched an all-out attack, so Liu Qingli must have come with them. He immediately rushed into the Eastern Wilderness.

With all three great sects participating in the battle, he feared that something might happen to Liu Qingli. Those people did not know who she was; they only knew her as the Nine-Poison Witch. In battle, they would certainly show no mercy. No matter how powerful Liu Qingli was, even she could not withstand overwhelming numbers.

After entering the Eastern Wilderness, he followed the insects crawling across the ground until he found Liu Qingli. She was currently engaged in a fierce battle with three elderly men. The fight was evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

These three men were probably the leaders of the three great sects. Chu Han recognized Zhang Fang, but he did not know the other two elders.

Just as Chu Han was about to speak, something unexpected happened. Liu Qingli deliberately left an opening. Zhang Fang naturally refused to let it pass and struck her shoulder with a blast of compressed air. She cried out in pain and staggered back several steps, but she had already achieved her purpose. With the Nine-Poison Realm Art, she trapped all three men within its confines.

At that moment, Liu Qingli’s strength was simply unimaginable. She had faced three opponents alone and still managed to imprison them all. It was terrifying. The enormous centipede she had summoned from beneath the earth during her previous battle with Chu Han once again emerged from the ground.

The centipede had been severed in half by Chu Han before, but it now seemed to have recovered—and its body was even larger than before, making it look utterly horrifying. The three elders stared at it in terror, not daring to move a muscle. After all, they were trapped within the Nine-Poison Realm Art.

At that very moment, a streak of lightning flashed past, and the centipede was once again severed in half. It writhed upon the ground as Chu Han stood before Liu Qingli.

“It’s you again? Didn’t I tell you that I never wanted to see you again?”

At the sight of Chu Han, Liu Qingli was stunned. The scenes from before still lingered in her mind. Her heart told her that she actually knew the man standing before her, and that he was extremely important to her, yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember him.

Chu Han smiled faintly. “But I want to see you, Qingli. Hurry and recover your memories. Look at what you’ve done. Are you still the innocent and kind Liu Qingli you used to be?”

After hearing this, Liu Qingli’s eyes filled with confusion. She carefully turned over his words, but still could not remember anything. The more she tried, the more painful her head became.

“I... My name is Qingli? Do you know about my memories from before? I feel as though I’ve forgotten many things, and the things I’ve forgotten seem to be the most important ones to me.”

Liu Qingli spoke softly. She wanted to recover her memories, and Chu Han was instantly overjoyed. He nodded hurriedly.

“Release the Nine-Poison Realm Art first. I’ll slowly tell you about your past. It doesn’t matter if you’ve forgotten—I’ll help you recover your memories.”

Chu Han spoke in a gentle voice. In his heart, he secretly made up his mind that even if Liu Qingli could not recover her memories, he would still help her find them. He had to turn Liu Qingli back into the person she once was.

Liu Qingli nodded and dispelled the Nine-Poison Realm Art. Only then did Zhang Fang and the other two elders relax. They immediately flew into a rage and prepared to charge forward and resume their battle with Liu Qingli.

“Senior, leave her to me. Go fight somewhere else. She was my friend once.”

Chu Han hurriedly stopped them and spoke softly, his expression somewhat bleak. Liu Qingli had become this way partly because of him, and he had always blamed himself deeply.

Seeing his expression, the three men understood what had happened. They sighed and left. They trusted Chu Han completely.

Liu Qingli descended and walked to Chu Han’s side, waiting for him to speak. Chu Han did not delay. He cleared his throat and was just about to tell her about her memories when a man suddenly appeared on the rooftop above them. His face was covered, and he wore ordinary clothing.

The man clasped his hands together and began chanting a long string of incomprehensible incantations. At that very moment, Liu Qingli suddenly went berserk. Her eyes turned blood-red, and she struck Chu Han on the shoulder with her palm.
