Arriving next to her, Nan Tian quickly crouched down besides her and scanned her body to check for injuries. However, the moment he scanned her body, his face paled considerably as he could see her body continuously breaking down.
While it did try to heal itself, the speed of breakdown was much faster than repair.
Seeing this, Nan Tian did not hesitate to reach into his inventory and pull out one of the best healing medication he had in hopes of saving her life.
Gently opening her mouth, he placed the bottle next to her lips and watched as the medicine was drank by her.
Thankfully, the medicine seemed to help relieve the breakdown a little but it wasn’t enough.
Meanwhile, Keiko also had a serious expression on her face since she could tell what was happening to Shiro’s body right now.
“We should probably take her back to my branch sect so that we can get her treated for her injuries.” Nan Tian suggested while looking at the two behind him. He was still on guard about the spirit so he kept his eye on her. After all, she was the one that got them in this mess.
“How about we continue our way towards Mount Everest and you can get your subordinates to meet up in one of the cities to treat Shiro. That way, when she wakes up, we won’t have to waste time travelling the distance that we’ve already travelled.” Keiko suggested as Nan Tian thought about it for a moment and nodded his head.
“Alright, I’ll send an emergency to the branch guild and I’ll have them meet us in Ichisver which is not too far from Mount Everest.” Nan Tian nodded as he gently carried Shiro up into a princess carry. He knew that she was suffering from immense pain despite being unconscious so he tried to hold her as gently as possible while using his mana to make sure that her body didn’t sway as even the slightest movement would be unbearable in her current state.
Thinking about it for a moment, Nan Tian decided to use his mana so that they can get to Ichisver as quickly as possible. Shiro’s life was on the line after all.
While the three quickly travelled to the city of Ichisver with a spirit following behind them, another fight had just been settled between a human and a dragon.
Looking down at the dragon’s corpse, that had most of his scales ripped out, the figure furrowed his brows when he saw the rewards for such a feat.
“Tch, I’m still not tier 6 yet. How many tier 5’s do I need to kill.” He muttered with a frown.
Shaking his head, he collected the dragon’s corpse before flying higher into the sky.
‘With the dragon dead, that means only the gorgon and the third monster are level 500 around this area. Hopefully, killing them will let me reach tier 6 if not, I’ll need to start pushing the prisoners to tier 5 quickly so that I can kill them for some EXP.’ He thought to himself.
‘Annoying. It was easier to get to tier 6 last time because I weakened Nytri but it was still a pain. But to think she’s still alive and kicking after I killed her… Where the hell could she even be in this world.’ He narrowed his eyes murderously before disappearing from his spot.

After clearing the dungeon, the party quickly took Yin and Lisandra back to the hotel and tried to get someone that was more knowledgeable on this matter to help them. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find anyone like that so all they could do is wait around.
Thankfully, their complexion seemed to have recovered slightly with Lisandra’s level suddenly shooting up.
Understanding that Shiro must have defeated the threat, the party sighed in relief. However, the two weren’t fully recovered yet so it meant that Shiro was still suffering.
“Chen Yu, are you able to send a message to your branch leader and ask him what the f*ck is going on? Both Nan Tian and Keiko are some of the most powerful people in the world with Keomi not too far behind. How the f*ck did Shiro almost die with that kind of escort?” Lyrica asked with a frown.
“I can try to send a message to him. However, I just received word that there’s an emergency mission for some of the best healers to make their way to Ichisver so that they could save someone. I’m guessing that’s Shiro. While I don’t know what happened, maybe they were split up by a situation that was out of their control? I doubt the branch leader and Keiko would leave Shiro alone in times of danger.” Chen Yu replied as Lyrica nodded her head.
Sending a message to his branch leader, Chen Yu waited for a while but got no response. Guessing that they must be in a hurry right now, he sent out his own message to someone that was within the country of Rilsa that might be able to help them out for now.
Much like how he was responsible for everything that happened in Vericia, the person he was going to message now was responsible for a different city within Rilsa and her expertise lies in medicine and contracts that had to do with life.
[Don’t message me, my hands are full. Call me instead.]
Clicking his tongue, he dialled her number before excusing himself from the party for a moment.
“Sup~ Qin Lan speaking~” A feminine voice rang out as it was much louder than expected.
“Qin Lan, are you able to make your way to Epona for me? I got two people here that are bound by contracts and I was wondering if there was any way we could help out the person on the other side of the contract. From what I know, their life is in danger hence why the two we have with us are also in a similar situation.” Chen Yu asked seriously.
“Eh~ But like I said, my hands are full right now. I’m doing surgery. Plus, I was actually planning to make my way to Ichisver since the branch leader sent out the emergency right now.” Qin Lan replied.
“I know, the two I have with me are in a contract with the person that the branch master had reported in the emergency. That’s why we have three dying people right now. I doubt it’ll take you long to just check up on the two before making your way to Ichisver. Who knows, maybe you can get twice the merit.” Chen Yu persuaded.
“I’m coming over right now.” Qin Lan replied instantly.
“Wait a minute, I thought you were in a surgery?” Chen Yu furrowed his brows.
“I was and I quit the game. I was about to break a record ok? You owe me one.” Qin Lan complained as Chen Yu felt a vein burst.
Life was actually weighed against a game that she was playing.
‘If I didn’t need her help, I would have f*cking punched her already.’ Chen Yu thought to himself.
“Alright, give me a call when you’re in Epona and I’ll take you to the two patients that need help.”
“Gotcha, see ya later~” Qin Lan chuckled and ended the call.
Massaging his eyes, he put his phone away and walked back to the group.
“I’ve managed to get someone from the branch that’s experienced with contracts to come here. Hopefully she should be here by tomorrow since she’s responsible for this country.” Chen Yu said while sitting down on the chair.
“She’s a little weird but I can say that she’s definitely talented with contracts and so far, she’s probably our best chance at figuring out what’s happening. The branch master is probably busy taking Shiro to Ichisver right now so he hadn’t replied to my messages.” He continued as the party nodded.
“Alright. In that case then I’ll try to stabilise both Yin and Lisandra for now. Even though the fight is over for Shiro, their body is still being damaged over time.” Silvia nodded her head.
“We’re counting on you.” Lyrica sighed.
“No worries, it’s my job after all.” Silvia smiled and started to stabilise the girls.
While this was happening, Chen Yu did not expect to get a message from Qin Lan so quickly.
[I’m here~ Where the hell are you? I got two patients to treat and you’re wasting my time.]
‘Why the hell weren’t you this f*cking excited a moment ago!?’ He retorted in his mind before standing up.
“The person I just talked about has just arrived. I’ll be honest though, I did not expect her to be this eager.” Chen Yu replied as the party quickly urged him to go bring her to them.
Nodding his head, he dashed towards the teleport shrine.
