Chi Wuyao was more relieved than surprised by Yun Che’s reaction: “I have always wondered about this. It is impossible for you to have so much strength left in your state at that time. Even if you did, you should have used it first.
On your own body."
Yun Che understood what Chi Wuyao meant by "so much spare energy". Saving the Azure Dragon Emperor from the brink of death was definitely not something that could be accomplished with just a random beam of light profound energy.
Moreover, she woke up earlier than herself… “But, besides Shen Xi, you are the only one in this world who can exert the profound power of light.” Chi Wuyao said, “I specifically asked the Azure Dragon Emperor about this, and that profound power of light was definitely not deeply embedded in her body before that day. The Azure Dragon lineage has never
There are protective mystical instruments engraved with the mystical power of light."
"If it's not you either... that would be strange."
Chi Wuyao frowned, seeming to be lost in thought.
That’s right, in this world, the only ones who can display the profound power of light are him and Shen Xi.
That was definitely not herself, and Shen Xi had already...
Even if Shen Xi was safe and sound, and she showed up quietly, there was no way Chi Wuyao and the others would not notice it.
I woke up so quickly...
Bright Mysterious Power...
What is going on? Besides me, who else is there...
Yun Che subconsciously reached out his hands and covered his head. His body and soul were too weak. He tried to think, but it only caused his soul sea to become more chaotic amid the waves of stabbing pain.
Chi Wuyao quickly reached out and placed a hand on the back of his hand. “First, take good care of your injuries. Now is not the time to worry too much. No matter what is going on, this is at least a great thing. There is no need to worry.”
"When you recover, think carefully and maybe you will find the answer."
Yun Che let out a long breath, and it took him a long while to calm his breath and thoughts.
He closed his eyes for a while, and suddenly asked: "Why did Qinglongdi risk her life to save me? Was it to... protect Qi Tianli?"
“Of course not.” Chi Wuyao said without hesitation, “The Azure Dragon Emperor’s move was extremely decisive, almost instinctive. It was definitely not something that could be inspired by his will to save Qi Tianli.”
“As for the real reason…” Chi Wuyao looked at him deeply, as if smiling, “Sometimes women can’t even understand themselves, let alone others.”
"And if we get to the root of it, it's probably because our Lord Yundi is too charming. Or maybe, for a person like the Azure Dragon Emperor, being ignored is the most deadly poison."
It was difficult to tell whether Chi Wuyao was serious or joking. Yun Che’s head became increasingly heavy, and he closed his eyes, not wanting to think about anything more.
Chi Wuyao said no more, her voice becoming gentler, “No matter what, it was the Azure Dragon Emperor who sacrificed herself to save you. We all owe her our lives.”
"Qi Tianli has done great favors to Qinglong Emperor many times, and Qinglong Emperor has always regarded Qi Tianli as half teacher and half father. Since she is begging for mercy, then Qi Tianli will not be killed... After all, his worthless life is far from worthy of yours."
“What’s more…” Chi Wuyao let out a chilling smile, “Even if the Azure Dragon Emperor hadn’t pleaded for mercy, I had no intention of killing Qi Tianli.”
"If you don't know what to do with him for the moment, how about letting me handle it?"
Yun Che nodded directly: “Okay, then I’ll leave it to you.”
In terms of overall control, handling of affairs, judgment, and weighing of pros and cons, Chi Wuyao was far superior to him.
Chi Wuyao stood up and said, “The fact that you have awakened should not be made public for the time being. People in all realms are in a state of panic right now. If they knew that you have awakened, they would surely rush to see you. You only need to rest and recuperate now. As for the matter of the abyss…”
There was a faint flash of darkness in her eyes: "When Mo Beichen's soul dissipated, I seized some of his cognition and memory. I will tell you in detail later."
…
Chi Wuyao left.
Yun Che closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, but his thoughts still could not completely calm down.
The light and profound power that saved the Azure Dragon Emperor from certain death...
How great it would be if it really was Shen Xi.
But, even if it was Shen Xi, was it really possible for her to save the Azure Dragon Emperor from that state with just a ray of light profound energy?
Or maybe, that is not actually the power of light?
For example...the life breath of the Wood Spirit Pearl?
Wood Spirit...
He Ling...
Yun Che’s entire body suddenly tensed up, and he opened his eyes abruptly.
After he woke up, he had always been entangled with a deep sense of loss in his consciousness. However, after waking up from a serious injury, his thoughts were heavy and fuzzy, and he never found out what that sense of loss was.
He suddenly woke up at this moment... Every time he woke up from a coma in the past, the first thing he heard was always He Ling's excited and surprised cry.
She was connected to him in life and soul, and she could clearly sense it the first moment he woke up.
But this time, he did not hear any voice from He Ling.
Even... I couldn't feel the soul that was always connected to her! ?
The sleeping thoughts instantly dissipated, and Yun Che sat up abruptly: “He Ling?”
“He Ling!”
Two urgent calls, but no response.
At this time, the confused consciousness revived the sound of the dream in the coma:
"Master, please wake up. I want to talk to you for a while... just for a little while, okay?"
The familiar soft voice, hazy as if coming from the mist deep in the soul sea, made Yun Che stunned for a moment:
"...I'm going to go find my parents and Lin'er. I'm going to tell them a lot about you."
…
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly magnified in his mind like a nightmare, and his fingers grasped his head tightly.
No, it won’t…
Closing his eyes, he tried his best to concentrate his mind and sink his consciousness into the Sky Poison Pearl.
Appearing in the emerald green space, he was suddenly petrified before he could even shout, and stood there completely.
The familiar Sky Poison Pearl space was the kind of familiarity that instantly made Yun Che's heart ache.
It's back to how it once was...
That...the look when He Ling was not around.
The same green space, but it is so green and lifeless, without any vitality.
Even though his consciousness had sunk into this place, he still couldn't sense He Ling's existence.
Not even a trace.
“As long as I can pierce the Heaven Smiting Sword into Mo Beichen’s body, I am absolutely sure that I can poison him to death.”
Absolute...certainty...
Yun Che’s consciousness kept trembling.
The pain that pierces the soul is a million times greater than the pain in the body.
Mo Beichen was so scary, but she spoke in such an absolute tone... and such resolute words.
In order to make the Sky Poison Pearl burst out with a poisonous power that surpassed the current limit and could kill even demigods in a few breaths, she clearly... sacrificed herself as the Sky Poison Poison Spirit!
He should have thought of it earlier...should have thought of it earlier!

…………
Outside the main palace of Diyun City.
Qi Tianli's hands were tied together with a black rope, his head hung low, and he knelt on the ground.
He maintained this posture for four days and four nights.
The sound of light footsteps came closer and closer. Qi Tianli moved slightly, but did not dare to raise his head. Instead, he lowered his head even deeper, almost touching the cold ground.
Because, that was the breath of the Demon Queen. Chi Wuyao stopped in front of Qi Tianli. She looked down at Qi Tianli, who had bound his own profound strength and hands and seemed to have lost all hope. She said calmly, "The Cloud Emperor has woken up, your life is saved, and the Qilin lineage is also saved.
”
Qi Tianli, who had been motionless for almost four days, suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably. He trembled for a long time before he uttered a hoarse trembling voice: "Sinner Qi Tianli, thank Emperor Yun and Demon Queen for their grace."
He shed tears with every word, and every word was exciting and sad.
“First, you thanked the wrong person.” Chi Wuyao’s eyes gradually darkened. “Second, you thanked him too early.”
“……”Qi Tianli bowed his head deeply, not daring to act or speak rashly.
No matter what his ending would be, with the Demon Queen's words, "The Qilin lineage has been saved," he would be satisfied even if he was tortured to pieces.
"The one who saved your life and the lives of your entire clan was the Azure Dragon Emperor. You should know this very well."
Compared to Yun Che, Chi Wuyao didn’t hate Qi Tianli that much. Instead, she felt at least 50% sympathy and pity for him… She felt pity for him because he was the first one to be found by Mo Beichen.
"Looking at Cang Shitian, whom you usually look down upon, preferring to be forever separated from Canglan rather than let the Canglan lineage bow down to the abyss, do you feel ashamed?"
"The Azure Dragon Emperor sacrificed her life to protect the Cloud Emperor. With such merit, her only request is for you to live. Do you feel ashamed?"
“…” Qi Tianli was speechless, his old body swaying even more violently, as if he was in the bone-piercing and soul-shattering Nine Netherworld Ice Prison.
Chi Wuyao knew best what words would most hurt Qi Tianli's heart. He was not afraid of death, humiliation, or scolding. To him, the most soul-piercing thing was guilt. "The Azure Dragon Emperor saved the Yun Emperor's life, so any request she makes is not excessive. Since the Yun Emperor has agreed, he will naturally not break his promise. But..." Her demonic eyes narrowed slightly: "The Yun Emperor said something very right. If betrayal does not get enough
If we punish them, loyalty will become a joke."
Qi Tianli murmured, "I, the sinner Qi Tianli, am willing to accept any punishment without complaint. If...if the Demon Queen is afraid of dirtying her hands, I am willing to...discard my own profound power immediately."
“Waste your own profound strength?” Chi Wuyao sneered, “It has only been a few years since the Cloud Emperor led the Northern Divine Region to sweep across the three divine regions, and countless profound practitioners from all realms have been killed. Now that they have been hit by the calamity of the abyss, how many Divine Emperors are left in the four regions of the Divine Realm?”
“…” Qi Tianli was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely understood Chi Wuyao’s intention.
"Your life will be saved, and your body's strength will be preserved intact. But..."
Chi Wuyao slowly stretched out her hand, her palm facing Qi Tianli’s head: “From now on, these will no longer belong to you alone. Instead, they will all be in the palm of my hand.”
Qi Tianli finally raised his head, his cloudy Qilin eyes were deeply dimmed: "The Demon Queen wants to... bestow... a slave seal?"
Qi Tianli, who had long since become indifferent to death, could not help but feel his soul twitch when he saw the word "Slave Seal". Chi Wuyao's magic voice slowly said, "If I were to use something as harmful as the Slave Seal on you, wouldn't I be condemned by the world? Besides, have you forgotten what I am best at? If I want to control people's souls, what else do I need?"
A mere slave seal? " Qi Tianli raised his head slightly and accidentally touched Chi Wuyao's devilish eyes that were as dark as the abyss. His whole body instantly turned cold and he hurriedly lowered his head.
