"Xiao Yun, calm down first!"
Yun Che pushed Xiao Yun's shoulder, but he didn't respond.
Yun Che frowned, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Xiao Yun! Seventh sister! Stop crying, calm down first… The child is not dead, he is still breathing! If you don’t calm down, he will really die!”
Yun Che’s roar instantly stopped all the crying. Number Seven Under Heaven was stunned. Xiao Yun also jumped up from the ground. He held the cold baby in his arms and said with trembling lips, “Brother… what did you say? Is what you said… true?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yun Che. Mu Yurou rushed forward and asked excitedly, “Che’er, what you said… is it true? But the child has already… already…”
No breath, body cold... It's just a baby, how could it be alive?
“He does still have life force.” Yun Che said solemnly, “But his life force is locked by a demonic energy. His entire body is icy cold because of this.”
“Demonic...demonic energy? What’s going on?” Yun Qinghong asked in surprise.
“The only person in the world who can release this kind of devilish energy is Xuanyuan Wentian. Seventh sister, think carefully, when you were resisting Xuanyuan Wentian, have you ever been directly injured by his profound energy?” Yun Che asked.
“No, absolutely not!” Xiao Yun replied while panting, “I kept Seventh Sister behind me the whole time. Although Xuanyuan Wentian’s profound energy broke through the barrier several times, neither my Seventh Sister nor I were affected.”
“…Give me the child.” Yun Che stretched out his arms towards Xiao Yun.
“Big Brother…” Xiao Yun carefully placed the cold baby in Yun Che’s hands and choked up as he said, “Is he… is he really still salvageable…”
Yun Che did not answer. He closed his eyes. In the deathly silence, the profound energy slowly flowed through the baby’s body… After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, “This demonic energy has already merged into his life veins. It should not have just recently invaded his body. It has been there for at least two or three months.”
"Two or three months..." Xiao Yun murmured. Suddenly, he was startled: "It was... it was three months ago... My seventh sister and I were both trapped by Xuanyuan Wentian's black energy. Could it be... Could it be..."
Three months ago, in the Ice and Snow Region, they were trapped in Xuanyuan Wentian’s dark cage, and were finally rescued because of the sudden awakening of Fen Juechen’s soul.
“It’s very likely!” Yun Che nodded with a heavy face. “Although Seventh Sister dispelled the evil spirit from her body that day, a very small amount of evil spirit must have invaded the fetus’ body. This part is difficult for the mother to detect, and even if it is detected, it is extremely difficult to dispel it.”
Yun Che's profound veins were crippled because he was infected by the cold poison of the Sun Moon Divine Palace when he was still a fetus in his womb. The baby in his arms now was very similar to his situation back then.
However, he was poisoned back then, while this child was poisoned by demonic energy - although it was only a very slight trace, it was a million times more terrifying than simple poison.
“Che’er,” Yun Qinghong tried to calm down and asked hopefully, “Is there really any way to save her?”
“…” Yun Che’s lips moved, but he didn’t say anything.
“Brother Yun!” Number Seven Under Heaven suddenly struggled on the bed and tried to kneel up, crying, “Please save my child… You are the most amazing doctor in the world… You must have a way…”
“Xiao Che…” Xiao Lingxi supported Xiao Lie and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Young Master Yun, as long as you can save this child, I won't even frown even if you ask me to work like a slave for you!" Tianxia Xiongtu said excitedly.
Yun Che shook his head: “You don’t have to do this. This child is the son of Xiao Yun and Seventh Sister. He is the grandson of my parents, the great grandson of my grandfather, and my half son. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best to save him.”
After saying this, he held the baby in his arms and grabbed Feng Xue'er's hand: "Xue'er, come with me. To save this child, we must rely on your strength."
Yun Che dragged Feng Xue'er to the courtyard, and everyone followed behind him in a hurry. Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Yun Che said solemnly: "This evil energy has been in his body for a long time. If it were any other child, he would have died long ago. But fortunately, Seventh Sister has an extraordinary physique, so although she looks dead, there is still a trace of life in her life veins. If we can dispel the evil energy and revive her life veins... there is a possibility of saving her."
But, it's just a possibility.
Xiao Yun, No. 7 Under Heaven, Yun Qinghong and the others all knew how difficult it would be to dispel the demonic energy in his body... because he was just a baby and could not bear even a slightly heavy amount of profound energy. Once the profound energy was a little too strong, or there was a slight deviation in the guidance... any slight mistake would be fatal to this extremely fragile baby.
Even Yun Qinghong, the emperor, and Tianxia Xiongtu knew that they could never do it.
“If it was poison, or some other profound energy, I would be much more confident. However, demonic energy is different…” Yun Che took a deep breath, “It is now dormant in the child’s body. Once it is touched by an external force, it will struggle and run wild like a poisonous snake awakened. Therefore, the risk of expelling it is extremely high… I can only choose to purify it!”
Feng Xue'er immediately responded: "Use Phoenix Flame?"
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded: “Xue’er, your Phoenix Flame is several times purer than mine. If I use your Phoenix Flame, it will be more likely to succeed.”
As he spoke, Yun Che had already sat on the ground and placed the baby on his knees: “Father, please help me build a soundproof and lightproof barrier.”
"Okay!" Yun Qinghong stepped forward, lightning flashing in his hand. He knew very well that if he relied on the method Yun Che had said, he had to be extremely careful throughout the process, and his attention must not be distracted in any way.
"I'll help." Tianxiaxiongtu also hurried forward.
With the combined efforts of the two emperors, an isolation barrier more than ten feet wide quickly began to take shape.
"Brother, everything... I'm leaving it to you." Xiao Yun stretched out his hand and said in a trembling voice as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
bite!
With a slight sound, the isolation barrier was completely formed, and everyone's heart was hanging in their chest... But at least, the atmosphere was no longer as sad and gloomy as before, but there was a glimmer of hope.
"My son Xiao Ying, your spirit in heaven must protect this child." Xiao Lie looked up at the sky and whispered with tears in his eyes.
The world inside the barrier was filled with white mysterious light. Feng Xue'er sat in front of Yun Che and said anxiously and seriously: "Brother Yun, what should I do?"
“Xue’er, I need a drop of your blood.” Yun Che said softly.
“Hmm!” Feng Xue’er stretched out her finger without hesitation. A bead of blood condensed on her fingertips. Then, following Yun Che’s guidance, she dripped it onto Yun Che’s fingertips.
“Hu…” Yun Che’s chest rose and fell, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat before he even started. Because the success or failure of this matter was related not only to the life of a newborn baby… but also to the future happiness of Xiao Yun and his wife, and the hope of his grandfather for the rest of his life.
He wasn't sure...but he had to shoulder this tremendous pressure no matter what.
"Child, you have a gentle father, a righteous grandfather, and a kind-hearted great-grandfather. You are the continuation of their lives... Therefore, you must be strong and never be defeated by a mere demonic energy!"
As he muttered, his finger quickly sank down and pressed the drop of Feng Xue'er's blood on the baby's heart. Soon, the drop of blood flowed like mercury on the ground, slowly sinking into his young body.
Under the guidance of Yun Che's profound energy, the blood gradually spread throughout the baby's body.
Both the Sky Poison Pearl and Phoenix Flame have strong purifying power, but the purifying power of the two is significantly different. The Sky Poison Pearl can purify poison, impurities and other pollutants, while the Phoenix Flame purifies negative forces.
And in terms of purification power, the Sky Poison Pearl is naturally far superior to the Phoenix Flame, which is not truly pure... However, it cannot purify demonic energy.
The Phoenix flame was the power of the divine way, and its burning power was so terrifying that even the tiniest flame could not possibly be endured by a newborn baby. Therefore, when Yun Che ignited the purifying flame in a certain part of his body where the demonic energy remained, he had to be extremely careful to isolate it with the power of the Great Buddha.
Yun Che was extremely familiar with the structure of the human body. He knew clearly where the human body was weak, where it was fatal, where the devil energy was likely to be hidden, and where the profound energy could not reach... Soon, he confirmed all the remaining devil energy in the baby's body, and then he started from one corner and used the Phoenix Flame to purify it bit by bit.
A strand of phoenix blood touched the demonic energy, and a tiny phoenix flame instantly burned weakly using the demonic energy as a medium.
This process is difficult and slow, and it will certainly take a very long time. Even if there is nothing wrong, the baby's extremely fragile life may be cut off at any time.
He thought about injecting the breath of heaven and earth to strengthen his vitality first... but he was deeply afraid that this would instantly trigger the demonic energy in his body to riot and kill him instantly. Therefore, he could only hope that the remaining vitality of this child would be strong enough.
This consumed very little of Yun Che's profound strength, but it consumed his spirit to an extreme degree. His injuries had not yet healed, and his heart and soul were deeply traumatized by the words left by Jasmine, but facing this little life that only he could save, his heart and soul quickly became clear.
Feng Xue'er looked at him silently. She was nervous at first, but gradually, her eyes became infatuated. That focused face left a lasting mark in her heart and soul.
——————————
Outside the barrier, everyone held their breath, waiting nervously. Not long after, the Little Demon Queen also arrived after hearing the news and waited with them.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
Three hours passed...
The sky gradually darkened. Although the waiting became more and more torturous, no one left. Number Seven Under Heaven also insisted on getting out of bed. With the support of Xiao Yun, he stared at the isolation barrier without blinking.
bite……
A slight sound came from the barrier, which severely touched everyone's nerves.
Ping!
A crack spread across the barrier, and then the entire barrier was completely shattered from the inside, dispersing into fragments of mysterious light... and before the mysterious light dissipated, the sound of a baby crying rang in their ears.
Yun Che walked out of the mysterious light with a smile on his face, holding a crying baby in his arms. His crying was not weak at all, but very loud. In Yun Che's arms, he was not at all honest, and his short and delicate limbs kept struggling.
“……”Everyone stayed there, as if they heard a voice from heaven.
Xiao Yun opened his mouth wide, and stretched out his arms tremblingly, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, and his eye sockets became completely hazy... The whole person seemed to have suddenly fallen into an illusory dream.
“Xiao Yun, Seventh Sister…” Yun Che’s tired face showed a gentle smile: “Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission.”
Number Seven Under Heaven woke up as if from a dream. She quickly stepped forward and carefully took the child from Yun Che’s arms with trembling hands. She looked at her child who was kicking and crying loudly. Before she could open her mouth, tears instantly burst out. She hugged her lost and found son tightly in her arms, no longer caring about anything else, and burst into tears.
"Seventh sister..." Xiao Yun stood beside Number Seven Under Heaven, looking at his wife and son, his whole body filled with an indescribable warmth and satisfaction. He turned around, looked at Yun Che, and said in a trembling voice: "Big Brother..."
“There’s no need to say thank you.” Yun Che smiled and said, “We are brothers. Your son is my son. It’s only natural for me to save my own son.”
"Hmm..." Xiao Yun bit his lips hard to prevent himself from crying out loud, then nodded very hard: "Hmm!!"
“Hahahahahahahahaha…” Tianxia Xiongtu turned around and laughed out loud. The original haze in his heart and the pressure from Xuanyuan Wentian were all dispelled at this moment, and there was only endless pleasure and satisfaction in his chest.
Mu Yurou cried with joy. Yun Qinghong looked at his two sons standing together with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. He once again deeply felt that God was really kind to him.
Cang Yue's beautiful eyes had been staring at Yun Che the whole time. Slowly, the corners of her lips curled up into a very beautiful smile. She felt that Yun Che's smile was no longer the forced smile from before, and the dark haze and gloom that enveloped his heart had dissipated a lot.
While saving the child's life, he also redeemed his own soul.
