The entire world trembled as flames clashed with demonic energy.
The Demon-Suppressing Stele emitted a deafening roar, and the cracks began to slowly heal.
"No--"
The demon let out a furious roar of resentment, and her figure gradually dissipated in the golden light.
The last trace of demonic energy was swallowed by the golden light, and the illusionary demon was completely annihilated.
"boom--"
After a loud bang, the world returned to calm.
Xiao Feng collapsed in front of the Demon-Suppressing Stele, his immortal power and the power of the Bifang Fire Seed almost exhausted.
He stared blankly at the Demon-Suppressing Stele, which was gradually returning to calm, a relieved smile appearing on his lips.
"I...did it..."
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
The disciples of Huayun Sect rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, only to find Xiao Feng barely alive, while the Bifang Fire Seed had already merged with the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
"Senior brother!"
With tears in his eyes, Gan Feng helped Xiao Feng up. Xiao Feng struggled to lift his head and whispered, "I... did my best."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Feng fainted.
In the sky, the last wisp of demonic energy dissipated, and sunlight once again shone upon the earth.
The Demon-Suppressing Stele stood firm, emitting a faint golden light.
The demonic energy throughout Wushan was gradually disappearing.
Gan Feng knelt beside Xiao Feng, his trembling fingers reaching for his breath.
The bloodstains on his fingertips left a shocking mark on Xiao Feng's pale face. His heart sank. Xiao Feng's breath was barely a whisper, and he might die at any moment.
"No!" Gan Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot.
He looked around and shouted sternly at the disciples of the immortal sects present: "Xiao Feng has risked his life to protect the world. Now his life hangs by a thread. If any of you still have a shred of morality, then follow me and do everything in your power to save him!"
Gan Feng's voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the valley.
His figure was as upright as a pine tree, his fists were clenched, and he exuded a dignified and righteous aura.
The sound shook the snow off the branches, as if even heaven and earth were moved.
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Huayun Sect responded enthusiastically.
However, the other disciples of the immortal sects hesitated and whispered among themselves.
“The Bifang Fire Seed has already merged into the Demon-Suppressing Stele, what’s the point of saving him?” a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect muttered, a calculating glint in his eyes.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
Upon hearing this, Gan Feng suddenly turned around.
His eyes flashed like lightning as he stared directly at the Immortal Cloud Sect disciple, angrily rebuking him: "Xiao Feng is the pillar of the world's safety, how can you be so callous! If you stand by and watch him die today, who will protect him when the demonic path returns in the future?"
Gan Feng's words struck everyone like a heavy hammer.
Just then, a beautiful figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
"I would give my life for his life!" Su Xueqing cried out, stumbling as she ran to Xiao Feng's side.
“If it weren’t for Xiao Feng, my father would already be dead. I’m willing to save him.”
Su Xueqing knelt beside Xiao Feng and gently stroked his face.
"I am willing to give my life to save him. I would do anything to ensure Xiao Feng's safety."
Su Xueqing's words stirred up a great deal of emotion, moving all the disciples of the immortal sects present.
Finally, a disciple of the immortal sect dressed in a blue robe stepped forward.
“I’m willing to lend a hand!” he said loudly.
This sound seemed to shatter some invisible barrier.
Immediately afterwards, several more disciples from the immortal sects stepped forward.
"Young Master Xiao Feng is fighting for the sake of all living beings. How can we stand idly by?" a burly disciple said in a deep voice.
“Yes, if we stand by and watch them die today, who will protect us when the demonic forces return in the future?” another female disciple chimed in.
Seeing everyone express their support, a hint of relief flashed in Gan Feng's eyes.
His sharp gaze swept over the crowd, and he quickly instructed, "Everyone, to save Xiao Feng, we need to gather nine kinds of immortal herbs and the ancient elixir 'Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill'."
His voice was powerful and resonant, like a sharp sword slicing through the silent air.
"The nine kinds of immortal herbs are: Ice Soul Snow Lotus, Blood Ginseng Fruit, Dragon Bone Grass, Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed, Purple Cloud Immortal Mushroom, Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Grass, Phoenix Wood, Seven Star Grass, and Moon Essence Immortal Dew."
As Gan Feng spoke, he quickly drew the shape of each herb in the air with his finger.
"These nine kinds of immortal herbs each have their own miraculous effects. Ice Soul Snow Lotus can strengthen the body and nourish the vital energy, Blood Ginseng Fruit can generate blood and continue the blood vessels, Dragon Bone Grass can set bones and tendons, Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed can repair the heart vessels, Purple Cloud Immortal Mushroom can cleanse the meridians, Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Grass can repair the primordial spirit, Phoenix Wood can be reborn from the ashes, Seven Star Grass can harmonize the five internal organs, and Moon Essence Immortal Dew can nourish the soul."
Everyone was stunned. Some even took out jade slips and quickly recorded this precious information.
Gan Feng continued, "The 'Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill' is an even more miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life. It requires these nine immortal herbs as the main ingredients, supplemented with rare medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and must be refined for eighty-one days to become a pill. Once this pill is taken, it can help people rebuild their physical body, repair their primordial spirit, and bring them back to life!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
Such miraculous medicines are simply unheard of!
Gan Feng looked around at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Su Xueqing.
"Miss Su, you must immediately go to the Taixu Secret Realm to find the Ice Soul Snow Lotus. I will go with the disciples of the Huayun Sect to venture into the Demon Realm Abyss to retrieve the Blood Ginseng Fruit. The rest of you, split up and make sure to gather all the immortal herbs within three days!"
"Yes, sir!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.
Su Xueqing wiped away her tears and nodded firmly.
She gave Xiao Feng one last affectionate look, then turned and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Taixu Secret Realm.
Gan Feng led the Huayun Sect disciples, charging headlong into the Demon Realm Abyss with overwhelming momentum.
The other disciples of the immortal sects also went their separate ways, rushing off in different directions.
Only a few disciples remained in the valley to guard Xiao Feng.
When Xiao Feng regained consciousness, he found himself transformed into a lonely soul, drifting outside the Immortal Cloud Sect.
How did I end up in this place?
Xiao Feng was a little confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that during the time after he sealed the Demon-Suppressing Stele and died, his soul must have been in a state of confusion, which is why he came here.
Just as Xiao Feng was immersed in reminiscing about the past, a strange black aura suddenly descended from the sky, like a ferocious black dragon, heading straight for the Immortal Cloud Sect.
The aura exuded a strong evil aura; wherever it passed, vegetation withered and birds fell to the ground.
"Demonic energy!" Alarm bells rang in Xiao Feng's mind: "How could such a dense concentration of demonic energy have entered the Immortal Cloud Sect?"
As a wandering soul, Xiao Feng could only watch helplessly as the demonic energy invaded the Immortal Cloud Sect.
He was extremely anxious.
"The Immortal Cloud Sect might be in big trouble! But what can I do in this wretched state?"
Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and decided to follow the demonic energy to find out what was going on.
Since he's currently in a wandering state, no one can see him, which makes it easier for him to move around.
He passed through the wall and easily entered the Immortal Cloud Sect.
Following the trail of demonic energy, Xiao Feng arrived at a dark, secret chamber.
He cautiously peeked out, and the sight before him astonished him.
