Yun Che and Lan Xueruo suddenly jumped down like this, and Xiao Zaihe was completely caught off guard. When he stopped the Storm Eagle abruptly, he could no longer see their figures.
"Humph, that's crazy. If I fall from this height, even I will be smashed to pieces. But that kid has been poisoned by the musket, so he is doomed."
There seemed to be a vast wasteland below, with a hint of danger in the calm. Although he was sure that the two people who jumped down were dead, Yun Che had emptied his sect's treasure house, and he might have space equipment that could accommodate a huge space. It didn't matter whether Yun Che lived or died, his sect's things had to be retrieved. Otherwise, their sect would decline at a very fast speed.
Xiao Zaihe fell straight down at an extremely fast speed. As soon as he landed, he was attacked by a violent True Mystical Beast. He quickly took action to kill it, but he didn't expect to stir up a hornet's nest. A large group of True Mystical Beasts roared towards him from all directions, forcing him to flee quickly in fear.
This wasteland area stretched for hundreds of miles. Xiao Zaihe searched for more than two hours like a headless fly, but he didn't find any trace until it was completely dark. The mysterious beasts here were unexpectedly dense, and most of them were ferocious and violent. In the two hours that were not too long, he suffered dozens of attacks, including one from a low-level mysterious beast. Although he escaped with the help of the Storm Eagle, he was still scared out of his wits.
The aggressive profound beasts here were extremely dense, and such a long time was long enough for these profound beasts to completely devour Yun Che's body, making it impossible to find him. Thinking of this, although he was very depressed, Xiao Zaihe had to give up the search and flew towards the direction of New Moon City on the Storm Fierce Eagle.

Yun Che let Lan Xueruo hold him and jump down. It was not a desperate choice made out of helplessness. Rather, if they did not jump down, they would definitely die at the hands of Xiao Zaihe, but if they jumped down, they would definitely survive.
Because of Jasmine.
“Are you crazy?” Yun Che’s action shocked Jasmine.
His body was falling at a high speed, and another soft and tender body was holding him tightly. But he had no time to enjoy this wonderful touch. He raised his left hand, and seven kinds of medicinal herbs quickly appeared in his lightly clenched palm. With a slight squeeze, the seven kinds of medicinal herbs turned into a small pill under the tempering power of the Sky Poison Pearl, and then he struggled to put it into his mouth and swallowed it. Then he said to Jasmine hurriedly: "Jasmine, don't save me! Otherwise you will die. Now, lend me some of your power! Just let me achieve the level of 'Xuandu Void'."
After killing the Flame Dragon, the backlash from the poison prevented Jasmine from using her power for three months. But if she transferred a small portion of her power to Yun Che instead of releasing it herself, the backlash would undoubtedly be much smaller. But...
"'Xuan Du Xukong'? Don't you know that to achieve 'Xuan Du Xukong', one must be at least at the Heavenly Profound Realm! With your current body, how can you possibly withstand the power of the Heavenly Profound Realm! If things go wrong, in just a few breaths, your Xuan Veins will burst directly!"
"Don't forget, my current Profound Veins are Divine Profound Veins! I believe it is not so easy to be destroyed! And I don't need too long, just a few seconds before landing!!"
The sound of the wind in her ears became sharper and sharper, and the scene below was magnified faster and faster. Lan Xueruo closed her eyes tightly, and subconsciously hugged Yun Che with her arms. It was a protection for him, but also a subconscious fear.
Although his consciousness was dispersing, Yun Che kept his eyes wide open and looked down. The airflow under his feet began to change significantly, proving that he was very close to the ground. In a few more breaths, he would hit the ground hard...
"Jasmine!!!!"
As he shouted in his heart, an immense force suddenly and frantically filled his Profound Veins… It was a force that made him feel powerful enough to control space, and it was also a force so strong that his Profound Veins almost collapsed instantly.
Yun Che's eyes widened, and his expression instantly became extremely cold. He released all this profound energy without reservation, with part of it impacting the airflow below, and part of it protecting his body. Suddenly, as if something was holding them up from below, the speed at which he and Lan Xueruo fell slowed down, getting slower and slower... But in just a few breaths, even the power of the Sky Profound Realm could not dissolve this exaggerated impact force. At the moment before they were about to hit the ground, their falling speed was still quite fast... Almost without hesitation, Yun Che hugged Lan Xueruo with his arms, and with a force, he pushed her delicate body upwards.
Lan Xueruo opened her eyes all of a sudden, and what she saw was the faint smile on Yun Che’s lips, but this face gradually became farther away in her pupils… At that moment, she felt as if her heart was hit hard by something warm and sour. She opened her lips, but it was too late for her to make a sound.
Bang!!!!
Yun Che’s body finally fell and hit the ground heavily. The hard ground instantly broke into pieces. Before he could even feel the pain, his consciousness completely collapsed in an instant.
“Junior Brother Yun!!”
It took four full breaths for Lan Xueruo to land on the ground after Yun Che fell. The force he used to push Lan Xueruo upward was very gentle, but unexpectedly long, like a gentle and irresistible wind, causing her descent to become slower and slower. When she was about ten meters away from the ground, she even stopped in the air. When she fell, it was equivalent to falling from a height of ten meters.
At such a height, it was impossible to cause any damage. Lan Xueruo landed on the ground very steadily, and then rushed towards Yun Che like crazy, looking at the shocking pit under him and the countless cracks on the ground that spread out ten meters away, tears burst out wildly.
“Junior Brother Yun! Junior Brother Yun…Junior Brother Yun!!”
Lan Xueruo knelt beside Yun Che, crying out sadly. She hadn't shed tears in more than ten years, but now she was crying very hard. Her tears quickly soaked her entire cheeks like a flood. She covered her lips with all her strength, but she couldn't suppress her sobs no matter what.
She told Qin Wuyou that he would be a man who values friendship and loyalty. If she helped him in his time of need, he would definitely repay her. At least, he would not refuse her request at that time. Before the Xiao Clan, she did save him and used her contracted beast to save him from Xiao Zaihe's pursuit, but she did not expect that his repayment would be so fierce and resolute. He desperately protected her with his body and life twice in a row.
In this world, there are many people who treat her well, and even more who try their best to please her. However, she has grown up accustomed to seeing heartlessness, false feelings, ruthlessness, sweet words, and wicked ambitions... Among them, there are also the family members she always thought were the closest to her. She was discouraged again and again, and even almost desperate. Otherwise, she would not have left home and traveled to seven Xuanfu in two years just to find a glimmer of hope.
She treats people sincerely and gently, which is her nature, but she has never opened her heart to anyone because she has suffered too much coldness and trauma in her heart. Every time she laughs and talks with people in close proximity, she is thousands of miles away from them in her heart.
She never thought that there would be someone in this world who would be willing to protect her with his or her own life when her life was in danger... At least, her relatives wouldn't, and those who tried to please her wouldn't...
But Yun Che, the little "junior brother" she had ambitions for, made her heart tremble deeply and made her cry like rain. It also made her realize for the first time in her life that there really was someone in this world who was willing to protect her with his life... twice in a row.
However, she may have known it a little too late, because this person, at the moment she knew it, might never wake up again. Such a terrible fall could not be endured by someone with only the profound strength of the Entering Profound Realm. The only consequence was death.
Lan Xueruo felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her tears completely blurred her vision. In her sorrow, she did not notice that although Yun Che's body had created such a huge hole and so many cracks on the ground, there was no blood pooling under him.
As she was crying, her palm suddenly felt a warm touch. At that moment, she felt as if she had received an electric shock, her whole body trembled, and her beautiful eyes suddenly widened. In her still blurry vision, she saw Yun Che slowly open his eyes. It seemed that she cried too miserably, her face was completely tearful, and he smiled slightly when he saw her, and his hand was placed on her palm, telling her that he was not dead.
“Junior Brother Yun…” Lan Xueruo instantly felt as if she had suddenly arrived in heaven from hell. Her voice became vague and hazy due to her great surprise. “You…are you okay?”
“Originally… I was dead.” Yun Che moved his lips. His voice was hoarse and weak, but the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was still as good as usual. “It’s just that the King of Hell said that a beautiful and kind girl cried so hard because of my death that he couldn’t bear to watch, so he sent me back…”
Lan Xueruo was filled with sadness and surprise. She didn't know whether to cry or smile. She wiped the tears from her face in a somewhat awkward manner and tried very hard to make a reproachful expression. However, this reproachful expression was tearful and indescribably beautiful and moving: "Even now, you still... still don't forget to talk nonsense. I don't know how many girls you will harm with this mouth of yours in the future."
“Hehe…” Yun Che laughed, but the moment he laughed, his wound was affected, causing the corners of his eyebrows to twitch in pain: “Then, is it possible… that I could harm Senior Sister…”
From the first day they met until now, Lan Xueruo and Yun Che had not spoken much, and a large part of it was this kind of slightly teasing jokes. She was used to hearing this kind of words from him, and she would find it funny and interesting, but this time, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing deep in her heart. She moved her lips and was about to speak, but she found that Yun Che had closed his eyes and fainted.
