He kept looking at her for a few seconds, then his eyes widened in surprise.
"LUCY" He muttered softly and he kept thinking about what had happened.
In a second, the memories entered his mind like something that was holding it back was removed and Lucy was the key to unlock it.
"How did I manage to survive the explosion, no this isn't important right now. I must save Lucy" Henry exclaimed in complete shock
He quickly ran towards Lucy at an incredible speed. His speed was akin to a bolt of lightning, he appeared in front of Lucy in less than a second and said.
"Lucy wake up, wake up child. Wake up!!!" Henry shouted as he tried to feel her pulse and he realized that her pulse was weaker than usual. Her pulse has not dropped to the life-threatening level yet but it was certainly weaker than before. The same is true about her heartbeat.
They have lost ¼ of its power, of course, Henry has no way of knowing that she has used such a dangerous skill to save him.
"Even though her pulse and heartbeat are weaker, she has only fallen unconscious and should wake up in the next few hours or so.
I should get far from here and make a camp in the forest since it's getting dark before thinking about what to do next" Henry muttered to himself.
He then picked her up and carried her on his back. Then he started to charge out of the vicinity of the explosion, he ran as fast as he could for the next hour or so.
After making sure that he has gotten quite far from the radius of the explosion. He stopped.
"I should Scott out the area and search for a perfect and well-hidden place to make a camp.
Their reinforcement should arrive soon and then they will probably check the entire forest to find me" Henry muttered as he fell in deep thought.
A moment later, he let out a sigh.
"Regardless I will just have to deal with them when the time comes, I should look for a well-hidden place to make a camp," Henry thought to himself.
He started to look for a place to make a temporary hidden camp while carrying Lucy in his book.
At the same time.
An army of soldiers was heading toward the place where the cave was. There were at least 1,000 soldiers in this army. Even though the numbers are low, it has to be noted that each one of these soldiers is a cultivator.
Every single one of them is a cultivator, they at least have a cultivation realm of the Basic Qi gathering realm.
Currently, they were heading towards the cave, When they were close to the cave, they spotted hundreds of pieces of debris on the ground, the cultivator at the very front raised his hand and said.
"STOP THE MARCH," The one at the front said very calmly.
He said very calmly but he said in a way that everyone behind him could hear him.
However, an incredible amount of pressure bore down on the soldiers after the pressure was released.
Some cultivators started to sweat but ultimately, everyone stopped.
This person is probably the leader of the group judging from the fact that everyone stopped after he said to do so.
A second later, he snapped his fingers then two cultivators with an aura around 3 to 4 times more powerful than the Jacky, Killer, and Princess appeared behind him.
"Yes Leader, how can we help you?"The three cultivators immediately replied in a respectful tone.
Then the person standing in front of them said.
"Someone has destroyed the spiritual energy absorber, go and capture that person, when I get that person I will torture him to death.
This spiritual energy being destroyed will cause our plans to be delayed" The Leader said with a cold and a tinge of seriousness in his voice.
The three powerful cultivators nodded their heads slightly in approval and then headed in different directions to search for Henry.
After their departure, the leader fell into deep thought about what to do with the army of cultivators.
After a few minutes, he decided what to do with them.
"Everyone forms squads of 5 cultivators according to your badge number. For example, the cultivator whose badge number is 1 to 5 will form a squad and those whose badge number is 6 to 10 will form another squad, and so forth.
These squads will go to search for the enemy and those who will find the enemy will receive quite generous rewards.!" The leader of the cultivators shouted his voice and carried a power that made anyone who heard it obey him.
All of the cultivators would be wearing a badge, this badge would have his name, cultivation, and a random number from 1 to 3000.
These badges have been specially designed for the mission. For this kind of situation, they have to form a squad of the army.
This is to avoid the chaos that the cultivators can form when forming a squad.
A few seconds later, a weak, timid, and scared voice resounded throughout the crowds.
"Your Excellency, do we have to go there, I mean he has defeated those in charge of this place.
So his cultivation must be a lot higher than ours, I am afraid that we will just become...…" As the cultivator was speaking he was cut off as he felt an incredible amount of pressure on his body.
This pressure caused that cultivator to fall to his knees, he also coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He looked for the source of the pressure, and soon he saw an incredible amount of aura being emitted from the leader of the army.
The pressure was boring down on everyone's body. However, the pressure on the cultivator who spoke was the highest. He was the one struggling the most.
Some of the weaker cultivators in the group fell to the ground and started to cough up blood.
The leader was looking at him not only at him but at everyone present in the group coldly and slight killing intent could be sensed coming from him.
Then the leader opened his mouth and said,
"Everyone listen I don't have any place for cowards' ' He announced coldly.
He took out his sword from his waist, he swung the sword slightly, and a powerful sword slash made out of sword intent was formed.
The slash slices through the cultivator's neck who tries to oppose him like a knife cutting through butter.
A fountain of blood was immediately formed, a few seconds all the blood from his body had been drained. He had died.
Then the leader walked towards his body, any cultivator around his body walked towards the side.
Not daring to make eye contact, in case he kills them next. The leader got to his body, he looked for some time for a few seconds.
Then he found it. It was a badge with a number imprinted on it, he took a glance and announced.
"Cultivator no. 300 has died, cultivator no. 296,297, 298, 299. You will form a squad of four people.
If any of you object then tell me l will try to fix your problems" The leader announced as he crushed the badge into countless small fragments.
