Fairy Valley.
"Master, is there really no cure for the illness in one's heart?" Zhongli He asked listlessly, looking at the physician Juechen sitting under the peach tree.
They finally managed to snatch He You back from the clutches of Yama, the King of Hell.
Unexpectedly, He Ji seemed to have developed a dissociative identity disorder, spending his days in the cold Hanxian Cave, staring absently at Li Nannan's body.
Although the Ice Jade Bed and the Beauty Condensation Pearl made her body look exactly the same as when she was alive, it could not change the fact that Li Nannan had passed away.
"A mental illness requires a mental cure; I have no solution." Juechen slowly opened his eyes. Although he was over sixty, his spirit was as vibrant as a young man's, showing no signs of aging.
His hair was white, yet he looked vigorous and powerful, as if an endless wisdom and tranquil power permeated everything around him.
The Fairy Valley is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It seems that an endless spiritual energy nourishes the entire mountain range. The peach blossoms in the valley bloom for a long time without fading, and everywhere you look, you can feel the vitality of life.
"Sigh~" Zhong Lihe sighed deeply, looking silently at the peach blossom forest behind him.
Is there really no other way?
He continued, "Master, is there any magic in the world that can bring the dead back to life?"
He knew it was impossible; he had studied in the Immortal Valley for so many years and had never heard of any method to bring the dead back to life.
If there were any, his master would have told him long ago, but he still didn't want to give up. Just thinking about He You's zombie-like appearance gave him a headache.
Juechen stood up, walked to the stone bench in the pavilion, and calmly picked up the teacup that had just been heated to a warm temperature.
Zhong Lihe followed and leaned against the wooden pillar of the pavilion, looking at Juechen with a puzzled expression.
He couldn't help but squint and scrutinize him. Why was his master being so secretive today? Something was wrong! Absolutely wrong!
He spoke abruptly, his voice filled with disbelief: "Could there really be such a method?"
After a long silence, Juechen nodded slightly. "Legend has it that the national treasure of the Southern Kingdom is a pill called the Resurrection Pill, which can bring the dead back to life and revive withered trees. But no one has ever seen the Resurrection Pill, so we don't know if it's true or not."
Southern country?
Zhong Lihe observed the situation intently, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered. Wasn't He You the future emperor of the Southern Kingdom? If he returned, the Rejuvenation Pill would be easily within his grasp…
Whether it's true or false, you have to try it to find out.
“Yes, that’s right~” Zhong Lihe’s eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly, “Master, you really are a god incarnate.”
After saying that, he ran away.
Juechen glanced at the departing figure and shook his head helplessly. This legendary thing was hard to tell if it was true or false. Even if it existed, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack, a long time coming.
Zhong Lihe was walking on the road to Hanxian Cave when a junior disciple came running up behind him, shouting, "Senior Brother, something terrible has happened! There's a man lying outside Xianshan Valley covered in blood, and he looks terrifying."
The excitement vanished instantly, and Zhong Lihe's face turned cold. "Don't tell Master yet. I'll go with you to take a look."
"Okay." The two figures quickly walked out of the valley.
As soon as Zhonglihe left the valley, he saw Sun Qi, who was barely alive and leaning against the wall.
He had seen this person several times by He Ji's side, but he didn't know why he was lying here with serious injuries.
Seeing someone approaching, Sun Qi slowly lifted his heavy eyelids, looked up, and struggled to speak: "Someone wants to kill He Heyou! Run! Run!"
He used all his strength to speak, but eventually collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness.
...
He You looked at Li Baobei lying on the cold jade bed. His tears had dried up, and he didn't know what to do next.
What can he do to wake her up? What exactly should he do?
A cold voice rang out, "So you were here all along? What a stroke of luck, huh~"
The man in black stared bloodthirstyly at He You. He had been searching for over a month since he set out from the South, and now he had finally found him.
If someone wants his life, then he must die.
He You slowly raised her empty eyes, looking at the man in black with a blank expression, not understanding what was going on.
He looked down at the person lying there and said in a low voice, "Nannan, you don't like me killing people, and I don't want to kill people either, but they won't let me go."
"Once we kill them all, no one will be able to bother us."
The man in black looked at the woman lying on the jade bed. Although her appearance was stunningly beautiful, it was obvious that she was not breathing and was dead.
He snorted coldly. "He's talking to a dead man. What a madman."
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and coldly thrust it towards He You with incredible speed.
He coldly shouted, "Prepare to die!"
He You's empty eyes instantly turned bloodthirsty, and he rushed towards the man in black. With a flick of his finger, the cold sword in the man in black fell straight to the ground.
Bang!!!
Caught off guard, the man in black was slapped out of the cave. As soon as he regained his footing, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. In an instant, He You had his neck firmly in his grasp, his eyes cold and sinister.
The man in black struggled to speak, his voice strained: "He Ji, you...you can't escape. Those who want to kill you will come one after another..."
"You...can't escape~".
Click~
He You tightened his grip and gently twisted, and heard the sound of bones breaking. The man in black's head drooped down, and he was dead.
He slowly released his grip, and the corpse fell heavily to the ground, devoid of any warmth.
After settling the people in the valley, Zhong Lihe rushed to Hanxian Cave. Upon seeing the corpses outside the cave, he breathed a sigh of relief.
