The beast tide suddenly attacked and was unstable, Luo Xi came back to life
"All we can do now is wait and see." Fan You sighed.
Everyone sighed softly as they looked at the person on the bed, their eyes filled with worry. Yin Yin and the others used their spiritual power to maintain Chi An's weak breath, and Yun Xue could only pray to the heavens.
Chi An was stabbed repeatedly. After the hundredth stab, her blood-stained hand suddenly grasped the sword. The surrounding cold water once again soaked her body. Once again, she saw the dark figure swimming towards her in a daze.
Chi An forced himself to wake up through the pain, letting his body sag like a puppet with its strings cut. As expected, the shadowy figure approached. Just as its cold fingers were about to touch his neck, Chi An thrust his sword into the shadowy figure's heart with uncanny precision. His movements were fierce and decisive, without a moment's hesitation. Then, he stepped on the figure's body and swam upwards.
As soon as he surfaced, Chi An slowly opened his eyes. Yin Yin was overjoyed and shouted, "Big Sister is awake, Big Sister is awake!"
Nangong He immediately stepped forward, his brows gradually relaxed, "Aan, how do you feel?"
Chi An closed his eyes and felt with his heart. There was a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation in his body. His meridians seemed to be washed and his whole body relaxed, but the pain did not stop.
"Where's 'Lo'? Are they okay?"
Everyone looked at each other, Chi An stared intently, Yin Yin forced a smile and changed the subject, "Senior Sister, you just woke up, why don't you rest a little longer."
Chi An didn't say anything, just stared at her. Qiu Mucan reluctantly explained, "Senior Sister, you've been in a coma for three days. Jiang Ye woke up on the first day, and Nangong Wan woke up on the second day."
"So where are the two of them? Haven't they woken up yet?" Chi An couldn't help but frown.
Nangong He slowly lowered his eyes and shook his head. Chi An was dissatisfied, "Why can they wake up in such a short time?"
"Jiang Yeqing only ate a little, Nangong Wanqing only ate half, but you guys ate the whole thing." Nangong He explained.
Chi An looked out the window, his mind racing. The clouds in the sky drifted with the wind, falling on Tongjianzong.
Shangguan Yi's breath faded away like a candle in the wind. Shen Yuanming's pupils trembled, and he took out the treasured life-extending pill from his sleeve with trembling hands, carefully pried open his pale lips and fed it to him.
"puff--"
As soon as the pill was fed to Shangguan Yi, he vomited out the pill and blood, which splashed on Shen Yuanming's snow-white clothes, which was shocking.
Shen Yuanming's heart was in his throat. He clasped his fingers together tightly and pressed the back of Shangguan Yi's weak hand against his forehead, gradually transferring the spiritual energy in his body to him.
"Master...you must not be in any danger..."
Shen Yuanming felt so helpless for the first time, his eyes reddening. Shangguan Yi's spiritual power was about to be exhausted. Shen Yuanming's voice was extremely hoarse, "Ayi... you must hold on... I'm here... I'm here... Don't be afraid... Overcome it... Please..."
Shangguan Yi's numb gaze fell on the sword in his abdomen, but his heart ached. He subconsciously thought of someone and gritted his teeth. Before the next sword was stabbed, Shangguan Yi kicked it away and stood up shakily. "Anyone who hurts this young master will die!"
As soon as the words fell, the chains binding his hands exploded instantly. A flash of white light appeared, and Shangguan Yi slowly opened his eyes. Shen Yuanming hugged Shangguan Yi tightly, tears streaming down his face. Shangguan Yi said aggrievedly, "It hurts..."
Shen Yuanming's tears fell hotly on his neck. He forced a smile, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, "Thank you for your hard work, Master. I specially prepared some preserves."
Qin Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shangguan Yi had woken up safely. He waved his hand and asked his disciples to spread the news. Fan You, who received the news, was anxious. Now only Linghu Luoxi had not woken up yet.
"Master, something bad has happened! Junior Sister's spiritual power is running out!" Lin Junming said in panic.
Fan You's heart trembled as he rushed into the room. Linghu Luoxi was radiating spiritual energy from within, and she was dying. Fan You turned around and ordered, not daring to delay for a moment, "Quickly call the other sect leaders!"
“Oh no!”
"What happened again?"
"Sect Master, all the monsters from the secret realm trial have escaped, and a large number of them are now rushing here. A crack has also appeared in the barrier to the west, and the other sect masters are repairing it, so they can't get here in time."
Xuan Xuan was anxious and angry. "One thing is not over yet, another thing is happening. Why would this happen out of the blue?"
The inner sect disciple knelt and said, "The other clan leaders hope that you will arrive quickly and repair the crack."
"Master, Junior Sister is dying." Lin Junming was visibly panicked.
Both sides were in a state of urgency. Fan You turned around with a flick of his sleeve. Jiang Lingli entered Linghu Luoxi's body with a serious expression, "Let them repair the barrier. How could a sect leader not be able to do it?"
Qin Ling had just finished repairing the barrier when Linghu Nuanwei suddenly arrived with another report. The disciples were scattered around the various barriers, repairing them. The monsters were charging relentlessly, wave after wave. Xie Cihuai frowned, drawing his sword to escape the barrier and slay the monsters.
"Hey! Are you going to show off by yourself first?"
Xie Cihuai looked back and saw Song Zhiye holding a long sword with a contemptuous expression. Jiang Yeqing, dressed in white, drew his long sword indifferently. The three of them smiled at each other and simultaneously jumped out of the barrier to kill the monster.
Wherever the sword energy passed, beast corpses were scattered across the ground, and blood flowed for thousands of miles. A demon beast was injured by the sword energy and struggled desperately, but Jiang Yeqing remained merciless, raising his sword and stabbing it into the demon beast's heart. No matter how the demon beast struggled, it could not escape its fate of death.
Ye Lingyou and the others gradually patched up the cracks and reinforced the barrier. Song Zhiye and the other two shakily climbed up from the ground and cleared out the incoming monsters bit by bit, finally getting the situation under control.
"Oh no! Linghu Luoxi..."
Chi An and the other man immediately turned around, without stopping their movements, and asked in a somewhat aggressive tone, "What happened to her?"
The disciple said nothing, lowering his eyes and shaking his head. This news was like a bolt from the blue. He wanted to go see for himself, but he couldn't ignore the matter at hand. Seeing the number of monsters gradually dwindling, Chi An and the other two ran away without a care in the world.
"Bang--"
The door opened, and Yun Suiqi and the others looked blankly. Following their gaze, they saw Linghu Luoxi lying there quietly. Shangguan Yi's face was full of disbelief. He sniffed and his pupils shrank slightly.
"'Luo', you are really doomed. You still say you are lucky, tsk! Not even as lucky as this young master~" Shangguan Yi forced a smile and said heartlessly.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet. Jiang Yeqing and the others rushed over after finishing their business, and everyone's face was grim. Si Yanqing pursed her lips tightly, "Big brother..." Turning to look at Meng Fu, tears gleamed in her eyes, "Master, aren't we cultivators? Don't we have elixirs? Can we bring Big brother back to life?"
"The dead cannot be resurrected..." Meng Fu said with a serious expression, shaking his head.
“…”
Although Song Zhiye usually disliked Linghu Luoxi, after seeing her die right before his eyes, his breathing became lighter and his heart felt like it was suffocating. Ye Lingyou clenched his fists, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Jiang Yeqing lowered his eyes and looked at it, then walked forward step by step and took out the red bead from his sleeve. For some reason, Jiang Yeqing had an intuition that seemed to tell him that if he gave the red bead to Linghu Luoxi, she would be resurrected.
Jiang Yeqing held the red bead between his fingertips and, under the desperate gaze of the crowd, slowly placed it between Linghu Luoxi's pale lips. Three breaths later, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from Linghu Luoxi's body. The spiritual energy in the bedroom madly poured into her body, the gauze curtains danced wildly, and the candlelight was completely extinguished.
"There's a reaction!" Xue Nianchao exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Lingyou was the first to step forward, pressing his palm against Linghu Luoxi's vital point. Pure spiritual energy poured out like a flood. That cold body was like a bottomless abyss, greedily devouring all the spiritual energy.
Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and they all formed seals to cross the soul. Countless streams of spiritual energy, like tiny starlight, all sank into Linghu Luoxi's heart.
In Linghu Luoxi's dantian, the red bead was emitting a bloody light, and the dim golden light beside it was the golden elixir. The red bead, which was filled with spiritual energy, slowly merged with the golden elixir.
"Ah—" Linghu Luoxi suddenly arched her body and screamed, the red beads and golden elixir tearing wildly inside her body, as if to crush and reconstruct her soul.
Ye Lingyou gritted his teeth and increased his spiritual energy output. Just as everyone's spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, the red bead and the golden elixir merged with a bang. The eyes of the various sect leaders were stern, and they rushed forward, opening the barrier. The powerful energy wave almost blew everyone away.
Linghu Luoxi's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly jumped up from the bed, her pupils slightly shrunken, and she gasped heavily.
"Junior sister? Junior sister, are you okay?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Linghu Luoxi was still recalling what had just happened, Shangguan Yi waved his hand in front of him. Linghu Luoxi's nerves did not relax, her body trembling, and she muttered, "Stone Cave... Demon Lord... Book... Heavenly Dao... Destiny... Ah! Ah——"
Linghu Luoxi collapsed and screamed, holding her head. The next second, Linghu Luoxi fell unconscious.
"Junior sister!"
“Big Brother!”
Chi An and the other man looked at each other, feeling something was wrong. Shen Chuwei covered Linghu Luoxi with the quilt and said, "Okay, let's go! I'll take care of her."
"Junior Sister, what's going on? Why does it feel like she's crazy?" Xuan Yu turned his head in confusion.
Lu Heng looked at Shangguan Yi and the others, frowned, and asked, "What on earth did you see there?"
Chi An was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I was thrown into the icy lake and felt suffocated."
"I was stabbed a hundred times. It hurts so much." Shangguan Yi continued crying.
Nangong Wanqing also spoke up, "These two cycles repeat over and over again, making people feel suffocated, helpless, and finally numb."
Everyone was silent. Yan Hui was puzzled. "Then why were you able to survive? But she couldn't?"
Chi An answered with three words expressionlessly, "The ruthless way." Shangguan Yi looked back, Shen Yuanming smiled gently, and Shangguan Yi's ears turned red.
"Report! We caught a woman near the entrance to a secret place!"
A disciple suddenly came to report.
Qin Ling frowned and walked away, followed by the others. Su Yao was being pinned to the ground by the other disciples. Zi He saw the Sect Master approaching and immediately stepped forward, offering him with both hands.
Everyone was stunned. It was Xiyuedi and Xianjingjian. Su Yao struggled desperately, but her mouth was sealed with a silence spell. Yunxue's face was ashen. "Suppress it. Don't let her escape again."
"yes!"
Zihe pressed Su Yao down, and Yunxue handed the flute to Chi An, saying gently, "Chi An, this magic weapon is in your custody. You must protect it well."
Chi An nodded and took it. Qin Ling held the Xian Jing Sword and pondered for a moment. Finally, he handed the sword to Jiang Yeqing and said, "Don't let me down."
"Yes, don't worry, Sect Master." Jiang Yeqing saluted with a cold tone.
"Alright, alright, let's disperse! Jiran has obtained two magical weapons, so there's no need to worry about the remaining ones. We'll get them back sooner or later."
Chi An looked at Su Yao's back and felt something was wrong. "I always feel there is a conspiracy. Why was she caught with such a powerful magic weapon?"
"What's the big deal? 'When the enemy comes, we fight them with our soldiers; when the water comes, we block it with earth.'" Shangguan Yi shrugged.
At the moment when Su Yao was about to leave their sight, the two heard Su Yao's voice again.
"System, pass the message to them and tell them that the plan is going well."
