"Master, think twice!" the elders hastily advised. "Forcibly peeping into the secret realm will cause spatial vibrations. The disciples inside..."

Fengjiu turned her head suddenly, and golden light flashed in her eyes.

"I don't care about anyone else, I want Li Lingge to live!"

"Master, you can't do that!" The Great Elder stepped forward, his aged hand pressing on the jade platform at the center of the formation. "Once the Heavenly Eye Formation is activated, it might actually put Li Lingge in danger!"

Fengjiu's slender fingers had already formed a magic formula, and the golden divine power condensed at her fingertips flowed like a substance.

She stared at the dim name of Li Lingge on the jade list, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Get out of the way." Her voice was so cold it could freeze the air. "Anyone who dares to stop me again is a traitor to the sect!"

The situation on the observatory was tense. Several elders looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

At this critical moment, something strange happened!

Buzz!

The Jade List suddenly trembled violently, and Li Lingge's name burst out with an unprecedented bright golden light.

The light was like the rising sun, instantly dispelling the fog on the list.

"This is..." The Great Elder's eyes widened, "Li Lingge is still alive! Sect Master, he's still alive!"

Fengjiu's spell froze in mid-air. She looked at Li Lingge's name, and the corners of her tightly clenched lips finally relaxed a little.

The three words were so solid, indicating that although he had just experienced danger, everything was over now, and Li Lingge's life was at least safe.

At this moment, she finally understood why Li Lingge did not take the initiative to leave the secret realm even though he was in danger.

"This kid is too adventurous and too impulsive."

"Master!" The law enforcement elder took the opportunity to step forward. "The situation hasn't reached its worst point yet. If we forcibly activate the Heavenly Eye Formation now, it might backfire!"

Fengjiu's fingertips trembled slightly. How could she not understand this truth?

But when she thought of the eighty-nine names that had just been extinguished in an instant, her heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

"Did you know," she said in a low voice, "that among the eighty-nine disciples just now, eight were direct disciples from various peaks?"

Everyone lowered their eyes and remained silent. Those people were the direct disciples who were responsible for protecting the disciples who were undergoing training. They were all the future pillars of each peak.

Losing eight people at once is a loss that is simply incalculable.

However, the Great Elder still tried to persuade him earnestly.

"If the secret realm collapses due to the opening of the Heavenly Eye, the remaining disciples inside will probably suffer more than they gain!"

Fengjiu was silent, her eyes fell on Li Lingge's name again.

As long as Li Lingge is safe, the others don't matter.

Just as the Great Elder said, if the formation was activated forcibly, it might put Li Lingge, who had just escaped danger with great difficulty, into danger again.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the list at all times, and report any unusual activity to the local authorities immediately."

She took one last, deep look at the list, and as she turned and left, her fingers in her sleeves were still trembling slightly.

…

In the secret realm.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Lingge slowly opened his eyes and felt refreshed. The flow of spiritual energy in his body was smoother than before.

He subconsciously stretched out his arms, and his fingertips touched something warm.

Glancing sideways, Wei Xiang was lying quietly beside him.

The face that had always been as cold as frost now had a sickly pale complexion, the long eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyes, and the lips were so pale that they were almost transparent.

Her breathing was so shallow that it was almost imperceptible, and only a hint of pain was revealed between her slightly furrowed brows.

Li Lingge propped himself up, his eyes suddenly frozen.

There was a dark red bloodstain on Wei Xiang's back, and a hint of porcelain-white skin was faintly visible between the torn clothes.

The bloodstain was half dried, showing a strange dark brown color.

"Are you hurt?!"

His voice suddenly rose, and he reached out to lift up the blood-stained skirt.

As soon as his fingertips touched the fabric, Wei Xiang suddenly trembled all over.

She did not open her eyes, but instinctively curled up her body, and her torn sleeves slipped off, revealing half of her frosty arm.

“Don’t…”

She murmured weakly, her voice carrying a fragility that Li Lingge had never heard before.

"The wound must be treated."

Li Lingge softened his voice and insisted on turning Wei Xiang around.

His pupils suddenly shrank; the injury on his back was more serious than he had imagined.

It was a claw mark. What was even more terrifying was that until now, there was still a trace of evil spirit emanating from the claw mark, which was constantly hindering the healing of the wound.

Wei Xiang suddenly trembled violently and muttered unconsciously.

"Just bear with it for a while, and I'll give it all to you later..."

Her pale fingertips clutched the dress tightly, her knuckles turning bluish white.

Li Lingge was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, and then said half seriously and half jokingly.

"I'll just take a look."

He took out the ointment and wanted to apply it to Wei Xiang, but then hesitated.

"There's a wound that needs to be cleaned first."

"No." Wei Xiang shook her head drowsily, her hair falling across her sweaty forehead. "Not outside."

"good."

Li Lingge responded casually, but his hands did not stop moving.

He bent down, picked up Wei Xiang, and walked towards a stream not far away.

By the stream.

Li Lingge's fingers gently lifted the blood-stained belt of Wei Xiang's dress, and the silk outer garment slid off her shoulders like flowing water, revealing the plain white petticoat underneath.

Wei Xiang had already woken up, and the tips of her ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

Originally, she wanted to treat the wound herself, but for some reason, after dissolving the effect of the secret medicine in Li Lingge's body, she fell asleep.

The back of the petticoat was soaked with blood and stuck to the wound. He had to dip his fingertips in clean water and separate the fabric from the flesh bit by bit.
