Li Mingke was trapped under the boulder, his body growing increasingly stiff. A chill spread from his limbs, gradually seeping into his lungs, and even the blood that flowed out congealed into a blood-red rouge.
But then, her fingertips twitched.
Suddenly, a storm swept through her once calm mind. A suppressed, absolutely domineering power burst forth, radiating boundless vitality, and surged out of her mind, rapidly coursing through her body.
Two other forces were desperately trying to suppress it, but that absolutely domineering force broke through several restraints one after another, erupting with an overwhelming force.
Thump—thump—
The heart, which had stopped beating, came back to life.
"Well……"
The already cold person moved their fingers, and a groan escaped their mouth.
it hurts……
With his five senses returning to his body and his awareness returning, Li Mingke felt pain in his body.
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
The internal organs must be ruptured.
She tried to move her body, but was pinned down by the boulder, and even the slightest movement brought excruciating pain.
How can she escape? She absolutely cannot do it on her own. If no one finds her, she will die here if she remains trapped.
Li Mingke had no idea that she had just died once, and that one foot had already stepped into the underworld.
Who can she rely on now?
Only... Master.
"Master..."
She licked her chapped, purple lips, summoning her only hope.
Tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't help but sob.
A tear traced a faint line down her face, fell onto the snow, froze into an ice crystal, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never been there.
She gave it her all:
"Master—"
"Immortal Venerable Jinyun—"
"Help me—"
But with the wind and snow still blowing, it's uncertain whether such a cry will reach another person's ears.
*
"Immortal Venerable Jinyun." An elderly immortal with gray hair clasped his hands in a salute to Immortal Venerable Jinyun. The fact that even an old man like him chose to come to the Palace of the Immortals in person shows the attraction of the Palace of the Immortals to cultivators.
When the Immortal Venerable Jinyun saw who it was, he also bowed.
"The Palace of the Stranger is just ahead. I wonder why the Immortal Venerable is still here?"
"I'm looking for someone," Jinyun Immortal Venerable replied, but his eyes were still searching in the snow.
Looking for someone?
“He is my apprentice, Li Mingke.”
He was just talking to Li Mingke behind him when he heard her call out, "Master, it's the White Fox." He didn't see her and wanted to ask where the White Fox was, but when he turned around, he found that the person behind him was gone.
He was right behind him!
He feared he had mistakenly entered the illusion of the Palace of the Stranger, so he used his divine sense to search the surroundings, but he could not find any trace of Li Mingke.
There's something strange about this palace robbery!
So he stopped going to the palace to steal things and instead started looking for his apprentice.
His only consolation now is that Li Mingke is carrying the Spirit Flame Pearl he gave her, so she won't freeze to death in the short term.
He hadn't originally planned to come to the palace; he only brought Li Mingke along because she said she wanted to. But now he's lost her.
What good is opportunity? What good is ascension? If he wanted to, he could have ascended years ago!
That feeling of helplessness returned.
She was already his, she was already by his side, but because of her own negligence, she lost everything.
He recalled that torrential rain; the boundless rain and mist were like a monster with gaping maws, mocking him while swallowing him whole.
"Hmm..."
His heart, a mixture of two people's blood, ached inexplicably. He placed his hand on his chest and pressed hard, as if trying to suppress the pain.
The rain that night has turned into snow, like arrows whistling as they hurtle towards him, leaving him nowhere to hide. It's as if it's a punishment from heaven, and he can only accept it.
We must find her!
At this moment, Li Mingke was no longer just a disciple in the heart of Immortal Venerable Jinyun, but had become his obsession, and seemed to be a substitute for the regret that he could not make up for many years ago.
He released his power outwards, sweeping across every inch of snow with himself as the center.
However, it collided with another powerful vehicle midway through the journey.
The power that was all too familiar clearly belonged to Demon Lord Luan Hua.
He knew that the person was breaking through the restrictions of the Palace of theft.
But he ignored it and continued to search carefully for the person he was looking for.
Finally, he discovered a point of heat source, imbued with his aura—it was the Spirit Flame Pearl.
Almost instantly, he arrived at his desired location.
Her frail figure was pinned to the ground by a huge rock, and the wind and snow had almost completely covered her.
For some reason, he couldn't stop trembling.
He moved his finger, and the boulder turned to dust, allowing him to see the blood-stained body beneath it.
It seems to be the only red flower in this vast world, blooming on this desolate land, shining brightly towards the boundless sky. With its blood, its hope, and its vibrant life, it tells the story of how passionate and vivid it once was.
Boom—
A thunderclap from a clear sky.
The longsword pierced through the girl's body, and a beautiful flower of blood bloomed behind her.
"Half-seen, ahh ...
The younger version of herself roared and ran desperately toward the person falling from the height, but her petals were wet by the rain, and she drifted lightly into the soil.
Why!
Why! ! !
Everything before him overlapped, and he stretched out his right hand, trembling, toward the person in front of him.
Blood……
So much blood...
It felt like all the blood in my body had been drained...
His fingertips touched soft, warm skin.
His heart skipped a beat.
Still alive!
He immediately checked Li Mingke's injuries.
His entire back was smashed, so badly that the bone was visible, and almost all of his internal organs were also damaged.
He immediately performed first aid, using almost all the useful medicines he carried on Li Mingke, and infused his own internal energy into Li Mingke's body.
That's a bit strange.
He noticed that there were four forces within Li Mingke's body. Besides the weakest one, which was her own, there were three other external forces, two of which suppressed the third.
He couldn't care less about anything else now. He slowly poured his inner energy into Li Mingke's body, and the unconscious person finally woke up.
"...Master?" A faint but delighted voice asked.
"Hmm." Despite his heart pounding, his expression remained calm.
“Master…” Li Mingke cried again.
She couldn't control herself. The appearance of Immortal Venerable Jinyun was like a dying person in the desert seeing an oasis. She even thought for a moment that it was her own hallucination.
He gently wiped away her tears. "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts...it hurts so much, Master..."
Tears streamed down his face, dampening the heart of the Immortal Venerable Jinyun.
"The pain will subside soon. Go to sleep. The pain will go away when you're asleep. Your master is here. When you wake up, we'll be back in Yixiantian." He sprinkled the celestial powder from the bottle onto her back.
"Hmm... I knew it..."
I knew that my master would come to save me.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable draped his coat over Li Mingke, picked her up, and held her in a slightly awkward way to avoid touching her wounds.
He walked downhill, but in the instant he turned around, a golden leaf flew towards his neck. He quickly turned his head, and only a lock of hair was cut off.
The golden leaf returned to its owner's hands.
"Put him down." The voice was as cold as ice.
"What are you saying?" Immortal Venerable Jinyun met the gaze of the newcomer.
"Demon Lord Luan Hua".
