"Wind chimes!"

Ruo Qingyan screamed in terror, but Fengling didn't react at all, just staring blankly ahead with her eyes wide open...

It took the wind chime a full two minutes to absorb the energy, but the fused demon race burst forth like a flood in just a few breaths.

"Master of the family!"

Sky Crow stared at him in shock. The fusion had been stripped away, which meant that Wind Chime had lost her consciousness!

Or rather, he lost control of his own consciousness.

"housekeeper!"

If Ruo Qingyan shouted, the butler immediately understood and teleported both Feng Ling and Ruo Qingyan into the Feng family's alternate world.

Tianya and the others stayed behind, glaring angrily at the mist-faced monk before them:

"What did you do!"

The veiled monk said calmly:

"This is the punishment the gods have given him. More than twenty years ago, the gods generously allowed him to be born, which was already a great favor. Now, the gods not only want to take back this favor, but also want him to watch his loved ones die one by one before he dies, and to taste all the pain in this world!"

His tone was utterly calm, as if he were a deity proclaiming the fate of the wind chimes and the world.

Let the wind chime live for now, let it watch everyone die, and then kill it!

I'll kill you first!

All the demon chieftains of the Feng family were instantly enraged!

They all rushed towards the Mist-Faced Monk, but the Mist-Faced Monk, who had become a demon, was the least afraid of the demons!

Ruo Tinghan quickly stopped them and asked Yan Dingyun to temporarily take charge, as he needed to immediately enter the Feng family's otherworld to see what was going on.

In the other world of the Feng family, Ruo Qingyan was already crying her eyes out. She kept calling out Feng Ling's name and tried every possible method, but Feng Ling never responded.

He kept his eyes open, expressionless, his eyeballs motionless.

At this moment, Fengling was still conscious, but his consciousness had detached from his body. He was looking at his body from the perspective of an outsider, as if his soul had left his body. He could not control his body, nor could he communicate with the creatures of this world.

Ruotinghan and Lei Jing then quickly entered the Feng family's alternate world.

If Tinghan first used his spiritual power to directly probe into Fengling's sea of ​​consciousness to examine it, even he showed a puzzled expression:

Why...is my mind so empty...?

"Why..."

Ruo Qingyan cried as she asked Ruo Tinghan that she had already tested him, which was why she was crying so desperately.

An empty mind signifies the extinction of consciousness, which in turn represents death!

She is still unable to accept this fact, and soon Lei Jing's medical team arrived.

I immediately and without delay conducted a comprehensive inspection of the wind chimes.

The scientific examination results showed that the wind chime was still alive... This is very contradictory.

Master Qian and Yin Kongmen's fiancée, along with the Holy Physician Lingyin, also arrived.

"Astral projection..."

They both said those words almost at the same time.

Is there any way?

"No, but after a period of time, the consciousness will return to the body on its own."

"Really!"

Ruo Qingyan seemed to have found hope, but Xiao Yueban sighed and said:

"But... I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until then."

By the time Fengling's consciousness returned to her body, they had all been killed. This was the god's intention: to let Fengling watch them die.

"How long will it take for him to return?"

Old Master Qian said in a deep voice:

"At least, a week..."

Ruo Tinghan nodded, turned around to leave, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. Everyone watching his retreating figure knew what he meant, even though he hadn't said anything.

He had to fight for Fengling for a week, even if it meant stopping demons, monsters, and gods.

Lei Jing also took a deep breath and looked intently at the wind chimes:

"Kid, I don't know if we'll see each other again in a week. Don't disappoint me again."

After saying that, he turned and left. Soon, in the Feng family's otherworld, only Old Master Qian, the Holy Physician Lingyin, Ruo Qingyan, and Feng Ling remained.

With tears in her eyes, Ruo Qingyan, though she had confirmed that Fengling was alright, still choked out, "Patriarch Qian, Holy Physician, I hope you can grant me one request."

"What?"

Xiao Yueban had a bad feeling, and Old Master Qian frowned even more, saying bluntly:

I advise you not to...

Ruo Qingyan touched Feng Ling's face with trembling hands and whispered:

"After I die... I hope to give him my soul."

"ah?"

Xiao Yue exclaimed in shock.

Even the wind chimes that seem to have left their bodies trembled. What are you saying?

I disagree!

Ruo Qingyan continued:

"I've already tried. The Nine Netherworld Sacred Body is not controlled by that divine power. As long as someone can inherit my Nine Netherworld Sacred Body... Feng Ling will definitely win... definitely..."

She spoke through tears, repeating the word "definitely," as if making a firm decision for herself, but the tears kept flowing. In the end, it was because she was reluctant and unwilling to leave him like this.

"Wind Chime will absolutely not agree to you doing this."

"Old Master Qian said in a deep voice."

Ruo Qingyan nodded, a faint smile appearing on her lips despite her tears:

"I know...of course I know, so...I have to die first..."

"Don't forget, he's just having his mind leave his body. He can hear what you're saying and he can sense everything."

"I know...I know...but...I really can't think of any other way...I want him to live...I want Father, Mother, Sister, everyone to live...but I can't...I can't..."

If Qingyan bursts into tears again, she is the saint on whom people place their hopes, so this is what she should do.

The wind chime, whose soul had left his body, had never seen Ruo Qingyan cry so bitterly before. It felt as if its heart was being torn apart, though it couldn't feel it...

He kept calling out Ruo Qingyan's name, trying to comfort her as he had done before, but she couldn't hear him at all.

Even the old master Qian hadn't expected that Ruo Qingyan was carrying so much on her mind.

Clang—

The longsword was drawn, and a clang rang out!

[don't want]!

Fengling roared in terror as she watched Ruo Qingyan's sword aimed at her throat, her very mind trembling!

"Wait a moment!"

Ruo Qingyan's sword speed was so fast that neither Master Qian nor Xiao Yueban could react in time.

Just when things were at their most critical, the Dark Spirit Butler descended from the sky!

At the same time, Ruo Qingyan's sword was confiscated!

As long as he is in another world, he has control over all items!

Although the Dark Spirit Butler was always fighting outside, he kept his thoughts on Wind Chime and observed the dynamics within the other world.

He had a warning when he heard Ruo Qingyan's words, and thankfully he arrived in time.

Well done!

Fengling felt like she was about to cry. Butler! You are my god!
