"Your Highness!"
Long Tengxiao's subordinates rushed forward to help him up.
Unexpectedly, the moment her hand touched Long Tengxiao's arm, it felt as if she had stepped on his vital parts.
Long Tengxiao instantly let out an even more agonizing scream: "Ahhh! It hurts... Don't touch me!"
Clang!
The subordinates were so frightened that they instinctively let go.
Long Tengxiao fell to the ground.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!..."
Master Lingyuan: ...
He had never seen a prince in such a miserable state.
Coming to his senses, Master Lingyuan's expression changed slightly.
As a cultivator, and a master among masters, he could naturally see that Long Tengxiao was in so much pain, yet had no wounds on his body, clearly indicating that his soul had been injured.
Master Lingyuan pricked his fingertip and touched it to his brow, whereupon he saw Long Tengxiao's mangled and bloody soul.
At this moment, Long Tengxiao's soul, with his hands severed at the shoulders, was emanating waves of bloody energy.
This is the soul and blood essence of royalty, protected by purple aura and possessing great fortune; it's an extremely precious and highly nourishing item.
Master Lingyuan's eyes gleamed with a green light, and his fingers were itching to move.
Without making a sound, yet with lightning speed, he collected a tiny bit of the blood energy emanating from Long Tengxiao's soul.
Then he made a hand seal and quickly drew silver talismans in the air, completely enveloping Long Tengxiao's soul.
The talisman shone with silver light, forming a protective barrier while also releasing wisps of healing energy that entwined around the severed limbs of Long Tengxiao's soul.
The severed limb, which looked as if it had been cut off by a sharp weapon, was beginning to repair itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, after only two inches of healing had been completed, a terrifying black aura suddenly surged up and instantly swallowed up the silver threads of healing.
The two-inch severed limb that had been repaired instantly seemed to melt away like flesh and blood, turning into a pool of blood that dripped down.
It turns into gray smoke in the air and disappears.
"I said I wanted his hands and his mouth, so I won't take either of them. If you help him again, you'll have to share the burden."
A casual, melancholic male voice echoed in Master Lingyuan's mind.
He was instantly terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and turning deathly pale.
The fact that this person could speak directly into his mind's sea without him even noticing shows that their cultivation level is absolutely terrifying!
"May I ask which esteemed person this is?"
Master Lingyuan's heart pounded wildly, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He bowed to the air, his posture extremely humble.
Unfortunately, the sound never came again.
Instead, Long Tengxiao let out an even more shrill and frantic roar and scream.
Master Lingyuan looked over and saw Long Tengxiao's soul, its mouth gushing blood, wide open, screaming wildly.
The open mouth was a bloody mess, empty.
His severed tongue burned to ashes and disappeared into the air.
Master Lingyuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously took a large step back.
He distanced himself from Long Tengxiao, his face filled with terror.
Because he saw that on every wound on Long Tengxiao's soul, there was a faint, eerie soul mark.
He couldn't be sure what the soul imprint was, but he could tell that it had completely blocked the possibility of recovery from the wound on Long Tengxiao's soul.
In other words, from then on, Long Tengxiao's soul was incomplete, without arms or a tongue.
Without hands, unable to speak, and with the indelible mark on their soul, they can never be cured or restored.
Even if Long Tengxiao's body, hands, and tongue were intact, they would all become decorations and ornaments.
Long Tengxiao is finished...
This realization is precisely the source of Master Lingyuan's fear.
With his high level of mastery in Yin-Yang metaphysics, he couldn't even sense the trajectory of the opponent's attack.
They were even powerless against the damage the other party had inflicted on Long Tengxiao.
This clearly demonstrates just how terrifying the other party is.
If at that time, that person's target was him...
Master Lingyuan's face paled even more.
If the target is him, he has no chance of escaping.
Thinking of what that person said, even if Master Lingyuan could still save him, he wouldn't dare to intervene casually.
He didn't want his body to be alive while his soul was incomplete.
Fortunately, the other party did not take Long Tengxiao's life, but only cut off Long Tengxiao's soul arms and tongue.
This kind of trauma to the soul is a one-time event, rather than a continuous and escalating injury.
So once Long Tengxiao gets through these few days of pain, he will gradually adapt and eventually the pain will disappear.
However, the subordinates who were with Long Tengxiao were terrified.
Their faces were even paler than Master Lingyuan's, and they looked utterly hopeless and despairing.
Their master was in trouble right before their eyes, and as his subordinates, they were powerless to protect him.
Then, is there any need for them to live?
Not only did Long Tengxiao get into trouble, but even the dozen or so who were the most vocal in their clamor, including Yin Yang Ji Chaoyun, who cursed him to die, all followed in Long Tengxiao's footsteps and got into trouble one after another.
The first to be affected are Qi Guanyu's siblings.
Qi Guanzhan posted a blog on the World Star Network, stating his position, and then stopped paying attention.
These past few months have been his turn to lead the army to inspect the eastern border between the Holy Yuan Empire and the Desolate Abyss.
At this moment, he was patrolling the city with more than ten personal guards.
Suddenly, the people around him, who had been looking at him with admiration and respect, stared wide-eyed and pointed at him in fear.
Qi Guanzhan frowned, his anger rising quickly from the offense, his already cold and stern face becoming even more icy.
His personal guards also looked grim when they saw this.
