A chill swept over him, but Xiao Feng paid no attention, focusing intently on the figure inside the coffin.
Inside the ice coffin lay a woman of exquisite beauty, her face serene, as if she were merely asleep.
Xiao Feng's gaze lingered on her, his eyes revealing complex emotions.
His fingers gently brushed across his senior sister's cheek, feeling the cold touch.
Liu Qisheng stood aside, carefully observing Xiao Feng's every move.
He noticed a hint of tenderness in Xiao Feng's eyes, and a slight upturn of his lips, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.
However, when his fingers touched his senior sister's wrist, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Impossible..." Xiao Feng muttered to himself, his voice trembling with disbelief.
He checked it again carefully, but the result still broke his heart.
My senior sister's pulse didn't fluctuate at all.
Xiao Feng's expression froze instantly, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
His hand trembled slightly as he held his senior sister's hand tightly, as if trying to convey a sense of warmth.
However, the cold reality, like a sharp blade, ruthlessly pierced his heart.
"Senior Sister..." Xiao Feng's voice was filled with pain.
His eyes were slightly red, but he stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
Seeing the change in Xiao Feng's expression, Liu Qisheng felt a pang of anxiety.
He saw that Xiao Feng's fists were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep sorrow.
“Brother Xiao…” Liu Qisheng hesitated for a moment and said softly, “Is it…”
Xiao Feng did not answer, but slowly turned around, his gaze deep.
Liu Qisheng shuddered as he looked into his eyes.
Xiao Feng slowly shook his head, his gaze falling on the crystal-clear ice coffin. After a moment, his emotions returned to normal.
"Don't worry, the ice coffin can temporarily maintain a person's vital signs, and Senior Sister will be fine."
The ice coffin emitted a faint blue light, as if an invisible force was flowing within it.
Through the semi-transparent coffin lid, Zhao Yuwei's peaceful face could be vaguely seen, like a sleeping fairy.
This miraculous ice coffin can not only preserve human vitality, but also isolate all harmful external influences, making it a treasure of the cultivation world.
Zhao Yuwei opened her eyes in the coffin, nodded slightly, and acknowledged Xiao Feng's statement.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt dizzy.
"Xiao Feng, I..." Before she could finish speaking, she coughed up blood.
Xiao Feng noticed that Zhao Yuwei's face was even paler than before, her lips had lost all color, and faint bluish-black tinges appeared under her eyelids. Her breathing seemed as if it might stop at any moment.
Liu Qisheng was startled by this sudden turn of events: "Brother Xiao, what's going on?"
Xiao Feng quickly checked Zhao Yuwei's condition, and his expression changed drastically.
"Oh no! The sealing power on Senior Sister's body has been almost completely absorbed!"
The power of sealing is a mysterious force used to suppress powerful demons. Once it enters the human body, it will become like a bone-deep infection, constantly eroding the host's vitality.
Under normal circumstances, it takes months or even years for this power to be fully absorbed by the human body.
However, the sealing power within Zhao Yuwei's body was completely exhausted in just a few days, which far exceeded Xiao Feng's expectations.
"Oh no!" Xiao Feng exclaimed inwardly.
He knew that once the sealing power was completely absorbed, Zhao Yuwei's life would quickly slip away.
Without giving him a chance to think, Xiao Feng immediately turned around and carefully picked up the weak Zhao Yuwei.
His movements were gentle, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Xiao Feng could feel the coldness of Zhao Yuwei's body, and a wave of heartache and self-reproach washed over him.
"Senior sister, don't be afraid, I will definitely save you." He secretly vowed in his heart.
Holding Zhao Yuwei in his arms, Xiao Feng walked towards the ice coffin without hesitation.
He carefully placed his senior sister inside, and then followed her in.
Although the interior space of the ice coffin was limited, it did not feel crowded enough to accommodate two people.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the spiritual energy within his body.
Strands of golden light slowly flowed from his palm, wrapping around Zhao Yuwei like silk threads.
As spiritual energy was injected, Zhao Yuwei's pale face gradually regained some color, and her breathing became more steady.
"Senior sister, hold on!" Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and continued to increase his spiritual energy output.
He could feel his life force rapidly draining away, but he couldn't care less at that moment.
Liu Qisheng watched this miraculous scene. He thought to himself, "Brother Xiao didn't hesitate to sacrifice his own life force to save Senior Sister. This kind of friendship is truly admirable."
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and took the initiative to carry the ice coffin forward.
"Brother Xiao, don't worry about healing. I'll carry this ice coffin; let's hurry on our way!"
Liu Qisheng spoke as he walked, his tone filled with determination.
Xiao Feng nodded slightly and continued to focus on the transmission of spiritual energy.
He knew that his only hope was to find the River of Immortality as soon as possible.
It was a legendary, magical place where it was said that soaking in it for three days and three nights could cure all diseases and even bring the dead back to life.
“The River of Immortality…” Liu Qisheng murmured to himself, “I never imagined that such a magical place truly existed in this world.”
His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and he quickened his pace.
Just then, a snow-white carrier pigeon suddenly descended from the sky and landed steadily on Xiao Feng's shoulder.
This homing pigeon is pure white.
Xiao Feng was taken aback and carefully removed the small note tied to the pigeon's leg.
Xiao Feng reached out and took the note, opened it, and frowned slightly.
It turned out that the matter in the main hall had become known, and many people in the underworld began to search for someone to hunt down and kill Xiao Feng.
Faced with this sudden threat, Xiao Feng remained unusually calm.
He was already used to this life of swords and shadows, and the thought of being hunted down did not faze him at all.
Xiao Feng casually crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it aside; the paper ball traced a graceful arc in the air.
When Liu Qisheng saw Xiao Feng's actions, a glint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He secretly exclaimed, "Brother Xiao is so handsome!"
Filled with this admiration, Liu Qisheng followed closely behind Xiao Feng, afraid of missing any of his moves.
Just then, a slight noise came from behind, and Xiao Feng immediately turned around alertly.
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, his muscles tensed instantly, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, scanning the surrounding environment.
The sound came from a dense patch of grass not far away.
The grass was lush and green, about a meter tall. A gentle breeze blew, and the blades of grass swayed softly, making a rustling sound.
