The man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his rage palpable, left the scene without looking back, carrying Xu Yuehuai away. Sect Leader Yan and the others stared in disbelief, pointing at the man's retreating figure and questioning Zisangyi, "That's your eldest disciple! He's unconscious, his life hanging in the balance, and you just let him take him away like that?!"
He even felt indignant on Xu Yuehuai's behalf, pondering how to snatch her from Qingtao Valley once she arrived. Keeping such a talented person in Qingtao Valley was a waste of her potential. Sect Leader Yan was indignant. With the matter concluded, everyone returned to their room, leaving behind the deceased Ji Yuanchi and her family and friends.
Pu Erge was a man of few words, and even less now. His eyes were icy cold as he looked at Pu Tianyi, as if the two were enemies. Pu Tianyi remained silent, holding Ji Yuanchi's body, trying to keep the corpse warm. Before the others could even grieve, her body gradually crumbled into pieces, which were scattered by the wind.
"Little sister..." When he watched the person in his arms disappear in front of him, Pu Tianyi admitted that he panicked at this moment. The man who was usually as calm as Mount Tai was like a child at this moment, trying to grasp the slim chance. But heaven will not show mercy to mankind, and justice will be delayed.
Ji Yuanchi's last trace in this world has vanished. If anyone mentions her in the future, they will at most take out a portrait, point to the person in it, and say, "Look, this is Fairy Ji Yuanchi, who perished in the war between humans and demons."
Perhaps in this effort, she gained the title of "fairy," which sounds pretty good either way.
Zi Sangyi used her magic to stabilize Ji Yuanchi's body, her tone tinged with melancholy, "Bury her as soon as possible, my magic won't last much longer."
These words silenced the two brothers. How were they going to bury her? This wasn't their home. After her death, their sister probably wanted to return to her hometown. If that was the case, they might as well go back, back home, the place where it all began.
After figuring things out, Pu Erge did not hesitate. He took Pu Tianyi down the mountain to choose a top-quality coffin for Ji Yuanchi, carefully placed her inside, and closed the lid. This was Ji Yuanchi's final resting place.
...
In her dazed state, Xu Yuehuai felt that it was very hot around her. She felt as if she was trapped in a certain place and could not move. She wanted to open her eyes, but she could not.
For a moment, she gave up and planned to just fall asleep, but the heat from the outside world was getting higher and higher. She tried to break free and kept trying to open her eyes again, but it was no use.
Time and again, something was holding her back. Why? She was so tired and wanted to give up, but a force was urging her forward.
Qi Guze sat beside her, holding her tightly in his arms and continuously channeling spiritual energy into her body, his eyes reddening. "Wake up, please don't sleep, okay?"
Qi Guze didn't know what he could do to bring Xu Yuehuai back to life if she died again, or if she would simply disappear from his world forever.
Rewinding to when Xu Yuehuai planned to confront the Demon Lord, she knew she was not capable enough.
Qi Guze sensed the danger she was in and communicated with her through the jade pendant. Xu Yuehuai was startled and told Qi Guze what had happened. He planned to come over, but he couldn't get away. So he told Xu Yuehuai that he would lend her all the spiritual power he had to use, and the jade pendant was the medium.
Previously, when Qi Guze was injured, Xu Yuehuai had given him a blood transfusion, continuously injecting blood into the jade pendant to help him heal.
It was on the third floor, in the north, that she entered a secret realm of a heretical cultivator. Her jade pendant cracked strangely, and she realized this at that moment.
This time, when he was far away on the first floor, he lent his spiritual power to Xu Yuehuai, wanting to help her. She was very adaptable, and even though she had just received the power, she was able to use it perfectly within a few moves.
After Ji Yuanchi came out, the two cooperated. Even without speaking, it was as if the other party already knew what Xu Yuehuai was going to do. So there was no need for them to say much. However, Xu Yuehuai did not expect that Ji Yuanchi would do such a thing.
She exerted all her strength, using Qi Guze's power to break through the Demon Lord. Doing so would bring some side effects to her body. Her pale face and black lips were partly due to these side effects.
A single, hot tear fell onto Xu Yuehuai's forehead. Her eyelids trembled slightly, as if sensing something. She heard faint, intermittent sobbing sounds beside her ear. Who was it? She wanted to open her eyes and see who it was.
...
Life went on. The people in the ruins, still shaken by the betrayal of Dragon Roar Valley, joined forces to storm the valley. They discovered that Dragon Roar Valley had long been eroded and overgrown with weeds. The disciples of Dragon Roar Valley were shocked by the sight.
"This isn't how it is here! It was perfectly fine when we left, how did it become like this!"
"Illusion," several people with profound spiritual power immediately concluded upon hearing this.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air. The fact that Dragon Roar Valley had become like this meant that all the remaining disciples of Dragon Roar Valley had nowhere to go.
Those people didn't believe it and were unwilling to leave their familiar sect, only to find that there was no trace of life there anymore. Behind them were several people from the sect, following closely behind.
Everywhere they went was overgrown with weeds, and these people were probably left behind to participate in this grand competition.
There aren't many people left in Dragon Roar Valley. Most of these people are kind-hearted, innocent, and unaffected by the demonic energy, and they survived by sheer luck.
As the group looked inside, they suddenly remembered that they should visit the former valley master's residence. After considering this matter, they headed in that direction without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, the place where the former valley master lived was even more desolate, with nothing growing around it and only a house standing there all alone. The house looked like it had been eroded by demonic energy, suggesting that someone had lived there before and was trapped inside.
Several disciples excitedly approached, though with some trepidation. When they reached the house and saw the scene inside, they all froze in place.
The inside had completely changed; it was a huge pool of blood, emitting a foul stench that made many people nauseous, and some even vomited. Some unidentified objects were soaking in the pool, and there were maggots on them.
It's a huge test of mental fortitude.
