“Master…” Shi Chan reached out his hand in vain, but could not grasp anything.
He withdrew his hand, supporting his limp body on the ground. His face was covered in blood and tear stains, and his eyes, filled with sorrow, had a dark, gray hue, as if shrouded in gloom. Tears streamed down his face as he choked out, "Master, you won't let Shichan die, but do you know that if Shichan lives, he will ultimately suffer a fate worse than death?"
The words that Zen Master Daming had just spoken echoed in Shi Chan's ears again and again. After a long while, he adjusted his posture, sat down cross-legged, placed his hands on his knees to form the meditation mudra, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.
As time slowly passed, the expression on Shi Chan's face gradually disappeared. Gradually, golden light emanated from his body, illuminating his expressionless face, giving him a dignified and solemn appearance. However, the tears that kept flowing from his tightly closed eyes were completely incongruous with that dignified and solemn appearance.
--
Yu Ke and the others waited outside the golden light for half an hour, but the golden light showed no sign of dissipating.
Yu Ke had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He shook his head and said, "Never mind, let's go ask the young master first."
Ji Jue and Lang Yuan responded, and Yu Ke and Ji Jue flew off in the direction Li Molin had left. Lang Yuan turned his head and looked at his shoulder. Although Ling Xi was no longer crying, she still looked listless, lying weakly on his shoulder with her eyelids drooping and an aura of sadness emanating from her.
Lang Yuan sighed softly and followed behind Yu Ke and Ji Jue.
At that time, snowflakes were still falling from the sky, turning the small village white. They also slowly covered the corpses, concealing the bright red blood.
The surviving villagers were gathered together, discussing the matter. They were all staring at the golden orb of light from the alleyway where it was located, their faces filled with fear.
Yu Ke and the others flew in the direction Li Molin had left for a short while before discovering black demonic energy emanating from a cave in a low mountain not far from the village. Yu Ke, through the swirling snowflakes, saw the overwhelming demonic energy emanating from the cave and frowned, her expression changing.
He suddenly increased his speed and rushed into the cave.
The cave wasn't large; you could see the end of it at a glance. Because of the gloomy weather outside, the cave was particularly dark, but fortunately, it was much warmer inside than outside.
Upon entering the cave, they saw Liuli lying face up in the middle of the cave, a black outer robe spread out beneath her. Her face and lips were deathly pale, her expression serene, completely devoid of her usual mischievousness. Large patches of blood stained her body, a horrifying sight at first glance.
Yu Ke looked up and saw Li Molin sitting cross-legged beside Liu Li, with a huge amount of demonic energy surging into Liu Li's body from his hands, repairing the wound on her heart little by little.
The heart is the most important organ for living beings. Its blood vessels are intricate, its ligaments and chambers are numerous, and its flesh and blood are extremely fragile. Repairing a penetrating wound in the heart is no easy task.
Li Molin's face was somewhat pale. He was intently looking down at Liuli. He had been carefully using his magic to repair Liuli's heart. Half an hour had passed, and he had used up seventy or eighty percent of his magic and was almost exhausted.
With a somber expression, Yu Ke rushed up to Li Molin and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, Miss Liuli is already dead! Why are you still going to the trouble of repairing her heart?!"
Li Molin didn't even look up, and said coldly, "Go wait outside and don't bother me!"
Yu Ke paused for a moment, then said with a grim expression, "Could it be that the young master intends to use a soul-summoning technique?"
"Don't bother me!! Get lost!" Li Molin looked up and gave Yu Ke a cold look.
Yu Ke paused for a moment, then suddenly knelt on the ground. He looked up at Li Molin and said in a deep voice, "This subordinate dares not fail to remind the young master that if you really use half your life to save Miss Liuli, not only will your own body be damaged in the future, but you can also forget about ascending to the Nine Heavens Demon Realm! Most importantly, how can the people of your clan submit to a demon lord who only has half a life left?!"
The demonic energy emanating from Li Molin's hand paused slightly for a moment. After a while, he looked up and said coldly, "Yu Ke, I'll say it one last time: Go out and wait!"
Yu Ke's expression changed, and he pleaded, "Young Master, please reconsider!"
Li Molin lowered his head to look at Liuli, and his voice softened slightly as he said, "Don't say any more, Yu Ke. My mind is made up. You may leave."
Yu Ke's heart sank. He remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head and saying, "This subordinate will not go out. If the young master insists on using the soul-summoning technique, then this subordinate will do it in his place."
At this moment, the wound on Liuli's heart had been completely healed. Li Molin withdrew his hand, took out the best pill for restoring magic power, the Enriching Demon Pill, and ate three in succession. He regulated his breathing slightly, shook his head, and said, "Yu Ke, your cultivation is not enough. Go out."
"Young Master!" Yu Ke's expression changed again, almost to the point of despair.
Li Molin looked up at Yu Ke and said earnestly, "Yu Ke, if I don't have Liuli for the rest of my life, I will wish I were dead. Please, I'm begging you, go out and protect me, okay?"
Yu Ke's face was grim, and he remained silent for a long while before nodding helplessly and saying, "Yes."
His face darkened as he watched Li Molin take out the Soul-Summoning Staff. He could only silently rise, turn, and walk out of the cave. At that moment, Ji Jue, Lang Yuan, and Ling Xi were waiting outside the cave. They heard the arguing inside. Ji Jue, his face filled with worry, frowned and asked, "Yu Ke, even you can't persuade the young master?"
Yu Ke shook his head in silence.
