Ye Xiruo's purple figure soared into the sky once more and disappeared into the air.
"Peak Master, you're back."
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—after seeing Ye Xiruo's figure descend from the sky, everyone rushed forward.
"You're back. You can all go and rest now."
Ye Xiru waved her hand and walked directly to Xiu Qiyu's room. The formation had been intact all day, and now that she was back, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure at the door, dressed in scarlet clothes, with delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes that revealed a coldness that kept people at a distance.
"Greetings, Senior Feiyue."
"Peak Master, there's no need for such formalities."
"What happened to Junior Brother?" Fei Yue's tone was very calm.
"With me here, nothing will happen to him."
"Take care of yourself. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Thank you, Senior Feiyue. Now, with Uncle Bai in seclusion and Master far away, Lingyun Peak is not as safe as we imagine. Please be careful."
As soon as Ye Xiruo stepped inside, she felt a chill wash over her. Even with her current cultivation level, she felt the biting cold without using her true essence.
Everything in the room was covered with a thick layer of frost. Ye Xiruo stepped carefully forward on the ice, which was bluer than ice.
Although she longed to appear before Xiu Qiyu immediately, her hesitation and fear made her stop in her tracks.
Even the greatest distance has an end. When Ye Xiruo saw with her own eyes that Xiu Qiyu was already encased in a huge layer of ice, she was still somewhat devastated.
My foot slipped and I fell onto the ice. How could it be so serious? I was perfectly fine when I left this morning. How did it suddenly turn out like this?
"System, system."
"Owner."
"What should I do?"
"wait."
Was Brother Xiu Qi in the same despair and pain when he faced his unconscious self every day just half a month ago?
"He was born as the son of the Ice Spirit. Even without external help, he would still awaken sooner or later."
Ye Xiruo was not comforted.
"You should trust him, just as he once trusted you."
Ye Xiruo stood up and glanced at the water-attribute spirit crystals she had put down that morning. Sure enough, those spirit crystals had now turned into grayish-white powder.
Ye Xiruo took out more water-attribute spirit stones and set up three spirit-gathering arrays.
"Brother Xiuqi, I believe in you. You will definitely pull through."
Golden drops of blood slid from Ye Xiruo's fingertips and landed on the water-attribute spirit stone. The Azure Lotus Heaven and Azure Sun True Qi rose simultaneously. Half an hour later, three blood-red spirit crystals appeared in Ye Xiruo's palm, radiating abundant spiritual energy and vitality.
Ye Xiruo refined eight blood-colored spirit crystals in one go before stopping. She formed hand seals again, and the eight spirit crystals flew out from her palms and fell into the formation, hoping that the blood energy would be useful to Brother Xiu Qi.
"Your own realm is unstable, and you are likely to fall into a lower realm." The system's voice rang in Ye Xiruo's ears.
Ye Xiruo forced a weak smile: "You don't understand. If you lose your cultivation, you can cultivate it back. But once I lose it, I lose everything."
"It's best to soak in the sacred spring."
Ye Xiruo did not immediately go into seclusion, but instead directly sealed off Lingyun Peak.
"Peak Master, are you alright?" Spring quickly helped the swaying Ye Xiruo up.
They had a vague suspicion that something must have happened to Xiu Qiyu, because the peak master's face was almost expressionless.
Normally, the peak master would never leave Lingyun Peak, but yesterday he left without saying a word and didn't return until the evening.
He looked extremely tired, and now, with the peak master having sealed off Lingyun Peak, his body temperature had dropped significantly.
Spring felt like she was hugging a block of ice, not a living, breathing person.
"What are you panicking about? I'm fine." Ye Xiruo stood up and tidied her slightly disheveled hair and clothes.
"Peak Master, it is this servant who begs you to take good care of your health, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the Divine Master."
"I'm fine, I'm really fine."
However, her pale face and increasingly frail body were not enough to convince Spring and the others.
Autumn and Winter couldn't help but cry at this moment.
"Stop crying, you'll look ugly if you keep crying."
"Peak Master, this servant will make you something to eat; you haven't eaten all day."
"Okay, go ahead."
Summer and Autumn got up to prepare food for Ye Xiruo.
In winter, she clung to Ye Xiruo's leg, crying her heart out, her tears falling like raindrops.
"stand up."
"Peak Master."
"I'm really fine. I won't abandon my master or any of you. Don't worry."
"It's my fault, I didn't take good care of the peak master."
"You have done very well. Starting tomorrow, I will be going into seclusion. I will be entrusting Lingyun Peak to you."
"Please rest assured, Peak Master, we will certainly not let you down."
"Go and invite Senior Feiyue over. We'll have dinner together tonight."
"Yes, Peak Master."
If Ye Xi had chosen the pavilion on Wangyue Peak as the location, it would have been perfect since it was the fourteenth of the month, with the bright moon hanging high and casting its gentle light. Wangyue Peak, with its expansive terrain, is the highest peak of Lingyun Peak, and the Wangyue Pavilion is also a great place to admire the moon.
"Let's drink and sing, I'd like to raise a toast to Senior Feiyue."
"You're too kind, Peak Master."
"Senior, there's no need to be so polite. I am only temporarily serving as the peak master. To put Master's mind at ease, this Lingyun Peak will always have only one master, and that is Master."
"I understand. I heard you closed off Lingyun Peak."
"This is a last resort. With my martial arts skills, I have no way to protect this pure land. As long as my master does not return, my heart will not be at peace."
"The same situation exists at Tianjian Peak. Fourth Junior Brother probably made the same choice as you."
"Did Master Zhang Hua also go to the Western Regions?"
"That's right. Master went into seclusion for a hundred years, just as the demon race was rampaging. Master decided to go down the mountain."
What would happen if we lost?
"I believe we will never fail. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. I believe in everyone on the Azure Continent. If it really comes to that, even the most unarmed and fearless will rise up in resistance. This is a matter of life and death for humanity."
"The biggest goal of all of you seniors going to the Western Regions should be to reseal the passage. Otherwise, if the seal is expanded, more demons will rush into the human race, and demonic energy will also flood into the human realm. At that time, the situation will be very unfavorable to the human race."
"I hope they succeed, and I hope my junior brother can wake up soon. Also, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt my own brother for my own selfish reasons."
“I understand your feelings. You also want to protect Senior Qin Wu and Brother Xiu Qi. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, and you don’t want them to take risks.”
