"Dazhuang..."
Before she could stop him, Da Zhuang had already spread his limbs out, and his spiritual power suddenly surged.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of blood spread, and Da Zhuang's tortoise shell shattered into pieces in an instant, his body gradually merging into the formation.
Before it departed, it left only one sentence: "Don't forget to bury me and Big Flower together. Also, I entrust my and Big Flower's child to you..."
Rong Zi watched this scene with wide eyes, her eyes bloodshot.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
With Dazhuang's sacrifice, the already crumbling formation suddenly shone brightly.
Moreover, the formation was faintly covered with a layer of earth core fire capable of burning everything.
...
My condolences.
On the way back, Jun Moyao sighed and gently patted Rong Zi's shoulder.
After Dazhuang sacrificed himself to reinforce the Immortal Realm Array, Chu Qingyu and Feng Yuan not only failed to break through the array, but were also backfired by the array and suffered considerable injuries.
Although unwilling, they still slunk away.
It can be said that Dazhuang saved them all.
Rong Zi held Rong Xuan tightly in his arms, his head lowered, without saying a word.
It all started because of her.
Her brother was on the verge of death trying to save her, yet she couldn't even protect his spirit beast...
Although her heart was so broken with grief that she was almost numb, Rong Zi could only endure it, because she had more important things to do.
After returning, Rong Zi settled Rong Xuan in and devoted all her efforts to treating him.
Countless rare and precious materials, elixirs, and spiritual plants were thrown in like there was no tomorrow.
But it still couldn't stop Rong Xuan's life from slipping away.
Seeing that she was acting like a madwoman, Jun Moyao couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to grab her wrist. "Don't waste your energy, it's useless."
Rong Xuan's life had completely withered away.
There was no way to reverse the situation.
"No, there must be another way."
Rong Zi flung Jun Moyao's hand away and frantically continued to take out various rare and precious herbs, muttering to herself, "I still have many rare and precious herbs here, I'll use them all..."
Perhaps Rong Zi's rare and precious materials really came in handy, because Rong Xuan seemed to have a final burst of energy before death, and slowly opened his eyes.
Jun Moyao was the first to see it.
He strode forward and called out, "Rong Xuan!"
Rong Zi froze, immediately looking in the direction of the sound, and met Rong Xuan's gaze.
His eyes seemed less clouded than before.
When she looked at Rong Zi, her eyes were filled with doting affection and tenderness, just as always.
Almost instantly, Rong Zi's tears flowed freely.
She bent down beside Rong Xuan, her voice choked with sobs as she called out, "Brother..."
Rong Xuan smiled at her and spoke in a hoarse voice.
But the very first sentence is...
"Little sister... I'm leaving now."
Rong Zi's tears fell in a steady stream as she shook her head vigorously and replied, "No! I won't allow it. Brother, believe me, there's still a way, there must be a way. I can save you."
"Don't cry..." Rong Xuan used all his strength to gently wipe away the tears on her face. "Don't waste your time and energy anymore, talk to me for a while, okay?"
Rong Zi grasped his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then obediently nodded.
Jun Moyao also bent down and sat down.
Rong Xuan grasped Rong Zi's hand in return and said, "Chu Qingyu also practiced that evil technique of the Demon Clan."
Upon hearing him mention Chu Qingyu, both Rong Zi and Jun Moyao's expressions turned cold.
Rong Xuan continued, "The reason he wanted our spiritual roots was because... cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, coughed several times, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Rong Zi and Jun Moyao immediately became anxious.
"elder brother!"
"Rong Xuan!"
Rong Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright."
He continued, "Although practicing this technique can rapidly increase Chu Qingyu's strength, because he is human, practicing the evil arts of the demon race will have side effects... and only the all-encompassing Chaos Spiritual Root can resolve these side effects, so..."
"So he wanted to dig out your spiritual roots?" Jun Moyao said angrily, "How shameless!"
Rong Zi's long eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Rong Xuan's breathing was somewhat unstable.
He added anxiously, "Chu Qingyu is different now than before. You must remember to be careful of him..."
Rong Zi could tell that Rong Xuan had reached his limit, so she gripped his hand tighter and tighter.
Rong Xuan raised his hand and gently rubbed her tear-streaked cheek with his fingertips, holding on to his last breath, and murmured a sentence.
"I really can't bear to part with it..."
His eyes slowly closed, and his hands fell limply to his sides.
Rong Zi caught his hand, her eyes wide with fury.
"elder brother!"
The hysterical voice was filled with a heart-wrenching despair.
...
After Rong Xuan's death, Rong Zi seemed to have lost all vitality. She locked herself and Rong Xuan in a mountain cave and forbade anyone to disturb them.
Jun Moyao was anxiously waiting outside, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Inside the cave.
Rong Zi knelt on the ground, still dressed in blood, without even changing his clothes.
The corpses of Rong Xuan, Da Hua, and Da Zhuang lay quietly before her.
She held a large pile of glowing stones in her hand, and with trembling fingertips, she pieced them together one by one into a pattern on the ground, muttering incantations.
"Brother, you must remember the way home..."
After piecing the pattern together with the luminous stones, Rong Zi took out a dagger and made a deep, bone-revealing cut on both of his palms.
