At that moment, Ye Feng painfully opened his eyes. His vision was a blur; he couldn't see anything clearly. A burning, stabbing pain assaulted him from all over, as if someone were tearing his skin from his flesh. A cold sweat beaded on his forehead the instant he regained consciousness. He also felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and vaguely remembered taking a heavy blow there.
Despite trembling with pain, Ye Feng didn't make a sound. He just desperately tried to focus his blurry vision, wanting to know where he was. His last memory was of Elder Tian drawing a dagger, just before he was about to ignite his True Qi…
Just then, a familiar voice sounded by his ear. "Awake? You're alright now. Relax, you're safe here."
Ye Feng turned his head sharply. When he saw Xu Ke's familiar face, his body immediately relaxed unconsciously. He managed to squeeze out a bitter smile. "How… how is it you?"
