Chapter 212 Death Song Yin: Don't be afraid, I'm here to get people out of there.
"What happened?" Song Yin's breath hitched, clearly shocked by Xia Xining's miserable state.
Chu Tang was at a loss: "I...I don't know either. I was walking along just now, and then you suddenly fell unconscious. I wanted to go up and wake you up, but then Senior Xia fell headfirst into the water. I pulled Senior Xia out, and she started bleeding. I gave her some medicine, but it didn't help. The bleeding just wouldn't stop."
In the few days since arriving in the Demon Realm, Chu Tang has finally shown the fear that is appropriate for someone of her level and age.
She spoke briefly and clearly, and Song Yin immediately understood the situation. Then she strode over to Chu Tang's side, placed her finger under Xia Xining's nose, and indeed, there was no breath.
How could a perfectly healthy high-level cultivator suddenly die?
Thump!
Then came the sound of someone falling into the water. Looking closer, Song Yin saw Han Wuyue had also collapsed. Song Yin instinctively used her spiritual energy to support her, and succeeded.
Chu Tang asked uncertainly, "Master, has your spiritual energy recovered?"
Song Yin clenched her fist and then released it. "Hmm, I've recovered." It seems she recovered only in an illusion.
The Blood Demon Pool stripped them of their spiritual or demonic energy, depriving them of their greatest reliance, and then pulled her into an illusion when they were at their weakest. In the illusion, her spiritual energy was restored, and when she saw through the illusion, her spiritual energy returned to reality.
Everything in the illusion was fake, but she was real, and her spiritual energy was real; it was all like a temporary, brief act of cultivating truth through illusion.
With her spiritual energy restored, Song Yin was able to do many things. When she supported Han Wuyue, she sensed something was wrong. Han Wuyue... was also dead.
With Song Yin regaining consciousness, Chu Tang suddenly found her pillar of support. "Master, what should we do with Senior Xia and the others?"
At this moment, Chu Tang was filled with deep self-reproach. As the only one who was conscious, she had failed in her duty, allowing Senior Xia to fall into the water. Perhaps if she had been more careful, she could have prevented Senior Xia from falling into the water.
Chu Tang attributed Xia Xining's death to falling into the water.
Song Yin: "Tell me again how you discovered Xia Xining's death?"
Chu Tang described the process in detail again, just as before.
After listening, Song Yin said, "Xia Xining didn't die from falling into the water; she died first and then fell into the water. Just like Han Wuyue."
Chu Tang froze, her mind a complete blank, before she caught the key words: Elder Han Wuyue. She turned her head to the left, and without her master's body to shield her, she saw that Han Wuyue, like Xia Xining, was also bleeding profusely.
Chu Tang opened her mouth wide silently, her teeth chattering, "Master, Master, Elder Han, Elder Han, she, she!"
Both Xia Xining and Han Wuyue bled from their seven orifices after death, and their blood dripped into the Blood Demon Pool, eventually merging with the pool water.
Song Yin used her spiritual energy to lift the group of people who were trapped in their inner demons high up, like flying kites, and then lifted Xiao Tang up as well: "I'll take you to the shore first."
Song Yin was carrying seven people. During the flight, she glanced back and upward and saw that Xia Xining and Han Wuyue's blood was flowing uncontrollably. If this continued, they might lose all their blood.
Two more streams of spiritual energy were released, sealing their bodies to prevent them from bleeding out.
In fact, the moment Song Yin saw Xia Xining die, she wanted to use her ability to go back in time so that Xia Xining could avoid death.
The next second she stopped the thought. Xia Xining was dead. Even if she went back to the past, she could not avoid Xia Xining's inevitable death, just like she had done to Hua Rong in ancient times.
Since we can't go back in time, we have to find another way to save people.
She had one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and Shi Heming had one. Her senior brother also had one.
Only two people have died so far, and she has enough pills on her.
As long as she lives, it doesn't matter if others die, because she can now refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.
Fan Tianrui had just harvested a batch of herbs, and she also planted other spiritual herbs for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill in Langhuan Cave Heaven. The two spiritual veins in the cave heaven were enough for her to accelerate the ripening of batch after batch of spiritual herbs.
Even the smallest amount of key material, Fan Tianrui, is not a concern. Jing Yue is right outside, and as long as she takes these people out, she can ask Jing Yue for help with as much Fan Tianrui as she needs.
Song Yin only thought about these things in her mind and didn't tell Chu Tang, which led Chu Tang to believe that Xia Xining and Han Wuyue were completely hopeless, and she silently shed tears in the background.
Chu Tang was now both saddened and relieved. She was saddened by the deaths of the two people in the group, but relieved that it wasn't her master who had died. Because of this feeling of relief, she also felt ashamed and kept despising herself.
Having recovered her spiritual energy, Song Yin flew at top speed, but was still lost in the Blood Demon Pool. Looking down from above, the Blood Demon Pool seemed as boundless as the sea, except that the depth of the Blood Demon Pool was no more than one meter.
Since she couldn't fly to the end, Song Yin decisively gave up flying herself and released the flying boat.
A huge flying boat appeared in the sky, and Song Yin brought them all aboard.
Stepping onto the flying boat, Chu Tang raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, then silently went to help move the other seniors.
Song Yin instructed Chu Tang: "I have moved the survivors and Mo You to one room. You stay and watch over them. I need to save Xia Xining and Han Wuyue now. If any of the survivors also die, come to the next room and call me."
Chu Tang: "Okay." Although she didn't know what method her master would use to save people, she would listen to him.
She laid Xia Xining and Han Wuyue flat on the bed, then took out the two most precious Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills and fed one to each of them.
After feeding her, she didn't stay by the bedside, but went to a more spacious place, moved the table and chairs away, and took out the Nine Heavens Secret Treasure Furnace to start refining pills.
Song Yin had a vague guess that the living people might have fallen into the illusion she had experienced. Because she didn't have any inner demons, it was easier for her to see through it. But it was different for others; each of them had their own inner demons, so it would definitely be difficult for them to see through it.
To ensure they always have the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, she has to race against time to refine the pill.
Of the two Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills she possessed, one belonged to Shi Heming, so she was determined to refine one and leave it for him no matter what.
To ensure the alchemy process proceeded smoothly and materials were not wasted, she set up a small barrier and restrictions to prevent anything from disturbing her mind.
This is why she had Chu Tang guard several living people instead of her using her divine sense to watch over them.
Song Yin took out the corresponding spiritual herbs and quickly processed them. With a boom, flames erupted, the flames engulfing the Nine Heavens Secret Treasure Furnace, and Song Yin methodically placed the corresponding spiritual herbs inside.
When the alchemy process was one-third complete, Song Yin's pupils contracted, and she immediately protected herself and the two people on the bed.
Bang--!
The oven exploded.
Fortunately, the Nine Heavens Secret Treasure Furnace was a ninth-order magic artifact, so even if the furnace exploded, it was not damaged.
The explosion was contained by the barrier and restrictions; the sound did not escape, and the energy of the explosion did not affect anyone else.
Song Yin let out a breath, reviewed the pill refining process, and then began a new round of refining.
...
Chu Tang received the task assigned by her master, and she dared not relax her guard over the remaining few people and the demon for a moment.
As the airship sailed in one direction, she would occasionally look out the window to see if the shore appeared in the distance.
Of the remaining few, some had smiles on their lips, some had expressions that shifted between joy and anger, and Shi Heming had a furrowed brow and was covered in sweat.
After surveying the surroundings and confirming that she still couldn't see the shore, Chu Tang turned her gaze away, walked to the table, sat down, and continued to stare at the living people and demons.
Do you want to ascend?
In a daze, Chu Tang seemed to hear a voice, indistinguishable between male and female, the voice both distant and close.
Chu Tang didn't pay much attention and ignored the strange sound.
While in the Blood Demon Pool, one must ignore all strange phenomena and instead concentrate on avoiding disaster.
When a person hears a question, even if they don't answer aloud, they will subconsciously think about the answer in their mind.
Chu Tang thought to herself that ascension or not didn't really matter; she just wanted to live each day to the fullest. Sometimes she wanted to ascend, influenced by the cultivators around her, and made ascension her primary goal.
"Do you want to become an elder of Danque Peak and the sect master of Xianxiao Sect?"
The sound rang out again.
Chu Tang thought to herself, "Is this ever going to end? All this useless questioning. Should I go next door and talk to my master about the situation?" But then she thought, "Never mind, my master is saving people; I shouldn't disturb him."
Do you want to be incredibly wealthy?
Chu Tang remained silent, still internally complaining.
Do you want to become the strongest person in the world?
Chu Tang kept a close eye on her seniors, trying not to miss any changes.
The voice lingered for a long time, yet Chu Tang couldn't utter a single word.
Her questions did not cause Chu Tang's emotions to change much.
Do you want to resurrect your mother?
Finally, upon hearing these words, Chu Tang's eyes widened slightly, and her heart skipped a few beats.
Good heavens, this voice is constantly bewitching people, it must be some kind of evil cult, block it!
Unfortunately, Chu Tang currently lacks spiritual energy and cannot shield herself from it.
“Next to you, your master has brought the two dead people back to life. She was able to save those two, but she couldn’t save your mother back then.”
Seemingly sensing Chu Tang's change in mood, its voice was like a venomous snake crawling in the shadows, seizing the prey's weakness and then tightly constricting it.
Chu Tang's heart was churning. She crossed her hands on the table and slowly lowered her head.
This was the first time she had been distracted since receiving the task assigned by her master.
Senior Xia and Elder Han, were they really brought back to life by Master? Can cultivators really come back from the dead?
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Chu Tang turned around, got up and opened the door.
Upon seeing who was outside the door, Chu Tang subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Senior Xia, Elder Han." Chu Tang couldn't believe it; the dead had really come back to life!
Xia Xining and Han Wuyue still had bloodstains on their faces; they simply wiped them off.
Xia Xining said, "Your master is refining pills in the next room. We didn't want to disturb her, so we came to find you after we woke up."
Han Wuyue: "We haven't been awake for long, and we're not sure when we'll fall under the control of our inner demons again. Can you tell us what happened between us?" In order to clarify the current situation, Han Wuyue also said a lot of things in one breath.
Xia Xining: "That's right. We can't disturb your master, so we have to ask you. Your master said that you know the answers to any questions we have."
Chu Tang opened her mouth, then stepped aside to let the two of them in first.
“See? Your master can bring the dead back to life. Your most respected and beloved master can resurrect her fellow disciples, but she won’t resurrect your mother. That’s because your mother was a mortal, not a cultivator.”
Chu Tang tried her best to ignore the noise and sat down next to Xia Xining.
“In your master’s eyes, they are the most important people. You and your mother are nothing more than dogs on the street. He wouldn’t care if you died. Just like when you asked her to bury your mother, she refused, didn’t she?”
Chu Tang: "Actually, Elder Han and Senior Xia were already dead before they woke up. It was Master who brought you back to life."
Xia Xining picked at her ear with her blood-stained fingers. "What?"
She couldn't have misheard, could she? "Elder Han and I are dead?"
Xia Xining and Han Wuyue exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
