Chapter 408 Whose friends hold hands all the time?
Smoke and dust billowed.
Master Qingfeng coldly surveyed the chaotic ground, only to find that Yu Zhiyi was no longer standing on the ground.
He didn't think much of it.
It's nothing special that a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was blasted into dust by his full-force attack, leaving not even a complete skeleton behind.
"This is what happens when you dare to go against Yue'er."
He turned to leave.
However, as soon as he made a move, he realized something was wrong.
"You...you're not dead?"
Not far away, Yu Zhiyi was standing leisurely on the ground, her slender, pure white hands easily holding a person's neck and lifting the person high up.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead."
Yu Zhiyi scoffed: "Didn't you already know? Every member of my Tianji Sect is exceptionally talented, possessing life-saving methods far beyond those of ordinary people. If I hadn't been prepared, how would I have dared to enter the palace?"
Master Qingfeng had no time to listen to her nonsense. His handsome face was cold and stern: "Release Yue'er, and I'll spare your life."
Yu Zhiyi clicked her tongue twice: "You spare me this time, but you can still kill me next time. Even if you spare me yourself, you can still get your disciples to kill me." Her face was full of disdain: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Master Qingfeng felt a lump in his throat, an unbearable discomfort.
Yu Zhiyi is right; that's exactly what he thinks.
He'll pretend to let her go today, and settle the score later after he rescues Yue'er.
Whether he does it himself or has his disciples do it, this woman is doomed to die.
He could even take Yue'er in one step and kill Yu Zhiyi the next.
After all, he only said that he would spare her life if she let go of Yue'er, but he didn't say how long he would spare her.
Unexpectedly, these plans were seen through.
Seeing his ever-changing expression, Yu Zhiyi laughed even more mockingly: "So, you really want to do this despicable thing of discarding someone after they've served their purpose!"
Suddenly, her expression hardened: "Since I'm not going to live anyway, let's all perish together."
Without further hesitation, she applied slight force and snapped You Bingyue's neck.
"Moon!" Master Qingfeng's eyes widened in fury.
Without further hesitation, he unleashed his overwhelming aura, which was imbued with terrifying spiritual power. Yu Zhiyi didn't even have a chance to resist before being blasted into a pile of red and white dust.
"Moon..."
He staggered to You Bingyue's corpse, his hands, which could easily exert tremendous force, trembled so much that he couldn't even touch the body.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally picked up the body, crying out, "Yue'er! Yue'er!"
You Bingyue's head drooped limply, unable to respond to his calls.
Master Qingfeng shed two lines of clear tears.
After a long silence, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice, "Moon, I will not let you die!"
He laid down You Bingyue's body, took out three incense sticks, and then made a hand seal with both hands.
Incense burns without fire.
As he completed the last gesture, he uttered a low shout: "Soul, come!"
A gust of wind blew by, and nothing happened.
A look of confusion flashed across Qingfeng Zhenren's eyes, but he was unwilling to give up and tried to form a hand seal again.
"Soul, come!"
"Soul, come!"
A strong wind was blowing.
After a long while, a phantom figure slowly appeared.
With red eyes, Master Qingfeng stepped forward. He wanted to embrace the weak soul, but he was afraid that his masculine energy would hurt her, so he could only suppress his sharpness and gently hold the soul in his arms.
"Moon, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm the one who hurt you."
The soul's face was blank, offering no response.
Master Qingfeng was even more heartbroken: "Yue'er, don't worry, I will save you!"
Lost in his heartbreak, Master Qingfeng didn't notice that the soul froze for a moment the instant he approached.
Master Qingfeng took out a piece of wood and said softly, "Moon, this is a thousand-year-old locust wood, which can nourish the soul. Go in and rest for a while, and I will revive you soon."
You Bingyue's soul was in a daze and couldn't understand what Qingfeng Zhenren was saying at all.
Master Qingfeng was helpless.
After death, people become ghosts. Some become vengeful ghosts in a short period of time due to strong emotional fluctuations, but most are completely unaware that they have died.
Especially for souls that have just left the body, they are often unaware of everything in the outside world for various reasons.
You Bingyue was unconscious before she died, so it's normal that she would look so dazed and confused after death.
He sighed, and with a wave of his hand, You Bingyue's soul possessed the thousand-year-old locust tree.
Master Qingfeng's so-called method of reviving You Bingyue was to find a dying person, extract their soul, and put You Bingyue's soul into it.
This kind of person who is on the verge of death is different from a dead person.
Even he couldn't bring a dead person back to life; putting their soul inside would only create a walking corpse.
But a person who is still clinging to life is still alive, only they will become extremely weak.
For him, curing a weakened body was very simple.
When the soul of the dying person was extracted, he was completely bewildered and had no idea what was happening.
With a wave of his hand, Master Qingfeng sent her thousands of miles away.
"Moon, you'll get better soon."
Under Master Qingfeng's care, the body quickly recovered.
She was a young woman with delicate features and a wealthy family background.
You Bingyue accepted her resurrection quite well. Apart from resenting Yu Zhiyi for causing her death, she didn't have any negative feelings about her body.
Master Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm also very happy.
He discovered that the physical body You Bingyue was currently using actually possessed a spiritual root, but since she had lived in the mortal world since childhood, she had no way of discovering this spiritual root.
Although it's only a dual spiritual root of water and wood, which isn't considered top-grade, in a hidden realm where three, four, or even five spiritual roots are commonplace, having two spiritual roots is still quite good.
"Does the Master mean that I can start cultivating now?"
Master Qingfeng smiled and nodded, but quickly noticed something was amiss: "Yue'er, why aren't you calling me Ah Feng anymore?"
You Bingyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, she said with a somber expression, "I didn't really have a sense of the strength of a Golden Core Realm expert before. I always thought you were just a little stronger than me. It wasn't until I was captured by Yu Zhiyi and I was powerless to fight back in her hands that I realized how wrong I was."
She sighed, "Calling you Ah Feng is ultimately an honor for me."
Master Qingfeng grasped her hand: "Fool, what are you saying? Between you and me, how can you say I'm above you? If it weren't for you, I would have died in the wilderness long ago."
You Bingyue withdrew her hand: "It was nothing more than a small favor."
Seeing her determined attempt to distance herself, Master Qingfeng felt a pang of sadness: "If you feel you are too far removed from cultivators, I will teach you how to cultivate. You already possess spiritual roots; with your comprehension, you will eventually reach the Golden Core realm."
As he spoke, he reached out to take You Bingyue's hand again.
On the surface, she is You Bingyue, but in her heart, she is Yu Zhiyi: "..."
What kind of problem is it to always be physically aggressive?
Didn't You Bingyue say that she was just an ordinary friend of these people?
What decent person would hold hands with their opposite-sex friends so easily?
