Chapter 492

Chapter 492: 492
Xue Wei had been conscious although his body had collapsed, but upon seeing the King ranked expert explode into a bloody mist, he finally lost the will to stay awake, and his body entered a deep coma .
Sensing that he finally passed out, Lan could only shake his head in admiration . Xue Wei had held on for much longer than he had expected, and he now felt a shred of genuine respect and admiration for this young man .
Even when he was severely injured, and his body was collapsing beneath him, he had the energy to stand up again, based solely on his strong willpower .
"Let us return to the cave . " Now that Xue Wei was in a coma, Lan took over the job of ordering the others around, but none of them felt a need to question his authority . If not for him, then Xue Wei would have been dead now, and his strength had indeed subdued them . Their respect for him came from deep within their hearts .
Hei Gou and Lin Xiao both carried Xue Wei back to the cave where they had rested before . They were inwardly anxious .
The King ranked expert had been killed by Lan, and by doing so, it made it the ideal time to launch an attack at the base, but Xue Wei was in a horrible situation, so they could not attack now .
As they arrived at the cave, Lan rolled up the sleeves of his robe and went to Xue Wei's side .
The others observed everything with bated breaths . They did not stop Lan, because they knew that he would never harm Xue Wei, but they were unsure of what his plans were .
However, Lan was an Overlord . He was a creature at the very top of the power levels within this universe, and thus he had abilities that others did not .
He also had some healing abilities, and while it was not his strongest skills, the sheer difference in their strength made it so that treating Xue Wei's injuries was child's play to him .
The only thing he could not heal was the strain that Xue Wei had received mentally . While his body was being repaired under Lan's gentle energy, his mind had seeped into a deep sleep, trying to repair itself .
The broken bones were slowly mended, the blood was slowly regenerating, and his face, which had been pale as a sheet, was slowly gaining color again .
The others heaved a deep sigh of relief when they saw how Xue Wei's body was being mended, but they could not help but glance at Lan, wondering if he had used up a large amount of his energy .
However, Xue Wei was as weak as an ant next to Lan, and thus it was no problem at all for him to heal him . Even if he had been a deity, the healing would still not have been problematic .
"He will sleep for a day, and while he sleeps, we can adjust our mindset," Lan said as he looked at the others . He knew that they too had gained some insights after watching Xue Wei's fight . "When he wakes up, he will most likely have advanced even further than before, and thus we can move on to attacking the base . "
The others nodded their heads solemnly . Even though they had lost their commander, the King ranked expert, the base was not likely easy to be taken over .
So they all sat down and began resting . Lin Xiao released the Luan birds from the beast tag, and they flapped their wings in excitement .
They had not dared to use them before, but now things were different . The fight with the base was going to require all their strength, and thus they had no other option than to let out these small creatures of destruction .
Lan glanced at them, and a snort escaped his lips . He knew that they had the Luan birds, but he did not like them .
The original Luan bird that lived within the Ascended's Realm had been placed there by his father, Lan Feng . Although he was now very old, Lan was a very strange person, and he was still in his rebellious age .
This was also why he had not wanted to see his Hui Yue, who was like an uncle to him . He would much rather hide away than to face the world that he had left behind .
Hui Yue and Lan Feng had long since known about Lan's personality . That was why they had left him alone for so many years, but no matter how long they had waited, he had never returned home, and now, after more than ten thousand years, they had finally lost their patience .
They were not here to force Lan back, they just wanted to know how he was doing, but Lan wanted nothing to do with them right now . He was ashamed to meet them .
Lan Feng and Hui Yue had always told him about protecting his dear ones, but his Zhiqing had died in his arms .
He was planning on visiting home after he found her in the ghost realm, but who knew when that would be . Unknowingly ten thousand years had passed before Xue Wei had been born, and while he now had some hope, he also knew that Hui Yue was too stubborn . He was not going just to ignore Lan's attempts at escaping from him .
If not for the fact that he had already left multiple imprints of himself on the world, Hui Yue would have already found him .
Sighing, Lan shook his head . There was no reason to think about all of that now . As long as they massacred the entire base, he had a glimmer of hope towards opening the gates to the Ghost Realm .
