Zhao Yuwei stared blankly at the pill in her hand, her face full of guilt, and refused to swallow it no matter what.
Although she came from the lower realm, she understood just how powerful the elixir truly was.
If I weren't the one they had their eye on, there would be no way they would have gotten the pills into her hands.
Beside him, Bai Zhao saw that Zhao Yuwei had not swallowed the pill for a long time, and his face showed extreme impatience.
"Take this pill as soon as possible to restore your spiritual power."
Zhao Yuwei sighed, "If I take this pill, I'm afraid I'll owe Liuhuo Mountain Manor even more debts."
She initially only wanted to go back with Bai Zhao to visit, and had no intention of getting engaged to Bai Zhao at all.
Right now, the more things I gain, the more naturally the worries in my heart become.
With a bitter expression, he shook his head, swallowed the pill, and felt his spiritual energy recover.
"Do I really have to marry you?"
He looked at Bai Zhao with both eyes, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Bai Zhao noticed that Zhao Yuwei's eyes kept glancing at him, so how could he not know that she was thinking about him?
"Although this pill is precious, I am willing to let you use it. Swallow it as soon as possible and don't worry about anything else."
On the other side, Su Xueqing led Xiao Feng to the entrance of a cave and put him down.
The injuries inside his body caused him to feel dizzy, making him unable to even continue walking forward.
Left with no other choice, Su Xueqing had to put the man down temporarily, allowing him to recover his strength at the entrance of the cave.
He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, slowly recovering his spiritual energy, his heart filled with extreme sorrow.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuwei not only found her other half in the upper realm, but also attacked her.
Fortunately, his strength was formidable, which prevented a major disaster from occurring.
Otherwise, he believed he was most likely already dead at Zhao Yuwei's hands, with no other possibility.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was still reminiscing about Zhao Yuwei, Su Xueqing walked up to him with a blank expression.
"If you can't even protect your own body, don't even talk about anything else."
Looking into Su Xueqing's eyes, Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, "Well, that's all I can say."
For some reason, he already had plans to leave the upper realm.
He risked his life to bring Jing Shen to the Upper Realm, only to end up like this.
If it weren't for the severity of his injuries, he believed he would have found an opportunity to leave right now, and would never have stayed in the Upper Realm to recover his strength.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was ignoring her, Su Xueqing walked to his side and whispered, "Recover your strength as soon as possible, and I will protect you."
They are currently in an area patrolled by prestigious and righteous sects.
If someone were to spot the two of them, they would very likely cause them trouble.
Xiao Feng was well aware that his poison skills were extremely formidable, and anyone who discovered them would surely understand their identities.
As soon as Su Xueqing arrived at the cave entrance, she immediately sensed that someone was watching them from not far away.
The spiritual energy within his body surged fiercely into the mountains and forests, and a loud bang echoed through the mountains.
"Bang..."
Master Yuan Yue emerged from the forest with an indifferent expression, his face appearing extremely cold.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed about to make a move.
"Judging from your appearance, you must have been following us for quite some time. Why bother following us in this way?"
When he heard what Su Xueqing said, he sneered: "If I didn't use this method, how could I have followed behind you and taken your lives?"
Don't be fooled by her seemingly casual attack; she actually used a considerable amount of power.
The two clashed, which allowed both to understand each other's strength.
Su Xueqing understood that with her strength, she did not have the ability to deal with Yuan Yue Zhenren, and might even die at his hands.
The message reached Xiao Feng's ears: "If you haven't entered a meditative state, come out quickly. The people outside are extremely troublesome."
Xiao Feng was thinking about other people and had no idea that someone would come to cause him trouble.
A wisp of spiritual energy seeped out from his body and landed on Yuan Yue Zhenren.
When his spiritual energy struck the person, he felt a familiar sensation.
It seemed he had dealt with such people before, but he couldn't believe he had never caused them any trouble.
Yuan Yue Zhenren sensed that Xiao Feng was probing his strength, so he snorted coldly and completely dispersed the power.
"Don't try to fathom my power. You beat my disciples to such a state, am I wrong to take your lives?"
Upon hearing Master Yuan Yue mention those two people, Su Xueqing immediately realized that this person must be the powerful figure from her sect who killed them.
"Xuanqing's master?"
Xiao Feng understood perfectly that the spiritual power within this person and Xuan Qing's spiritual power were of the same lineage.
No wonder he followed me to take my life; it turns out he came here specifically to seek revenge.
Su Xueqing had already clashed with Master Yuanyue once and understood that Master Yuanyue's strength was above her own.
If things really come to a head, she will have to use her trump cards.
However, the place they are in is where righteous people reside, and if they use their trump cards, they might be targeted by others.
Neither of them could use their trump cards in such a place, otherwise they would have no ability to escape.
Quietly returning to the cave entrance, she looked down at Xiao Feng and said, "What should I do? I am no match for him."
Xiao Feng had already guessed that Master Yuan Yue had come seeking revenge, and that peace talks were definitely out of the question.
After a moment's consideration, a cold glint appeared on his face: "If we are no match for him, we might as well hand me over to them temporarily and give them a disciple in return."
"Nonsense."
The two of them came from the Ming Cult together, so how could they possibly intend to leave one of them behind?
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
Two figures flew over from not far away and landed in front of Su Xueqing and Xiao Feng.
When the two of them looked at the figure in front of them, their faces were full of surprise: "You two...have been following us?"
Zhu Chen and Liu Qisheng exchanged a glance and bowed slightly: "That's right, we will always follow behind you and protect your safety."
Without their secret protection, Xiao Feng and Su Xueqing would have died at the hands of those righteous people long ago.
When Su Xueqing saw the two of them appear, her face was filled with joy: "Now that you two are here, I can finally relax."
Zhu Chen and Liu Qisheng saw Su Xueqing looking at them with that kind of gaze, and they knew perfectly well that she wanted to stop the person herself.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Master Yuan Yue and gasped, "This person is not easy to deal with."
