However, the white dragon circled very quickly on the water's surface, causing the entire pool to rotate as well. The speed was so fast that Lexi couldn't see whether its movements were in the water or on the surface, let alone maintain its balance.
With a series of loud "booms", Le Xi heard the sound of an explosion next to her ear, but upon closer inspection, nothing had changed, as if it were just an illusion.
When I closed my eyes and opened them again, the white dragon, the explosion, and the shaking were all gone, and the pool returned to calm.
Le Xi frowned and tentatively scanned the barrier with her divine sense again. However, before her divine sense could spread out, it encountered great resistance and bounced back.
Continuing to look down, we finally saw Nian Wanzhou, his eyes lifeless, perched on a rock at the deepest part of the pool.
She lay quietly on the rock, without saying a word.
Le Xi frowned, and was about to go down and wake Nian Wanzhou, but a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, pulling him backward.
\"hiss!\"
As Le Xi gasped in pain, he felt as if his internal organs were being pulled out. The intense pain spread through every part of his body, causing him to let out a soft cry.
It hurts so much...
Le Xi gritted his teeth, trying desperately to break free from the restraints, but to no avail. Only when the force dissipated again did he finally have a chance to reach the bottom.
What exactly happened?
He was clearly in the middle of the pool, and there was a protective barrier around him, so why was he being drawn into this mysterious force?
In the blink of an eye, Le Xi had already arrived beside Nian Wanzhou.
At this moment, Nian Wanzhou had fallen into a trance-like state, her face pale and bloodless, lying on the stone slab like a corpse, completely unconscious.
Even when someone came to her side, she didn't get up, and didn't even blink.
Le Xi frowned, reached out and felt her pulse, and found that it was still beating very steadily, but it was too weak, and her spiritual veins were throbbing.
This was extremely dangerous. He quickly tried to pull Nian Wanzhou up, but just as he was about to act, he felt himself being blocked by an invisible barrier. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get any closer to Nian Wanzhou.
What... what's going on?!
Le Xi's eyes widened in astonishment. Why were there so many strange phenomena today? Junior Sister, what's going on...?
"Junior Sister, wake up! What's wrong? Junior Sister!" Le Xi called out anxiously, but Nian Wanzhou seemed not to hear her at all and did not react at all.
"Wanwan, look at me! It's your second senior brother! Wake up quickly, your senior sister is coming to take you out for something delicious!"
But Nian Wanzhou still did not respond, and her open eyes gradually turned gray.
Le Xi was almost frantic with worry, fearing that if he wasn't there, Nian Wanzhou would face even bigger problems, but her desperate pleas for her to wake up were to no avail.
Left with no other choice, he could only climb up, hoping that his senior sisters could come and wake Nian Wanzhou up.
But as he was getting ready to stand up, his heart pounded violently, as if it were about to shatter, and the pain made him fall straight down.
Le Xi collapsed to the ground, only to be thrown far away by the aura emanating from Nian Wanzhou.
"What happened?" Le Xi stared in surprise, straightening up shakily. Could it be that Nian Wanzhou's condition was more serious than she had imagined?
What caught the eye was the scene of the White Dragon being destroyed. The image floating on the pool was clearly that earth-shattering battle from ten thousand years ago, and what appeared on Nian Wanzhou's body was the scene of the White Dragon being struck and sacrificed, and then sinking to the bottom of the water!
The scene was breathtaking.
What exactly happened? Ten thousand years ago... Could it be that Junior Sister was truly the reincarnation of the White Dragon?
Le Xi stared wide-eyed in astonishment, his mind filled with confusion as he watched everything unfolding in the sky, utterly bewildered and tormented by the events.
Not to mention Nian Wanzhou, who was already numb and whose eyes had lost their luster.
"Nian Wanzhou, wake up! That white dragon isn't you, and it can't be you!" Le Xi suddenly realized something and immediately roared at the unconscious Nian Wanzhou.
But the only response he received was silence.
Le Xi was stunned. How could he have said such a thing? But he really did say it. If his junior sister really had to go through that fate again, he would be the first to object.
Absolutely not.
All that reached her ears was the agonizing roar of the white dragon after its sacrifice, and Lexi felt her heart tremble. Time passed second by second, but for Lexi, each second felt like an eternity, each moment an unbearable torment.
He didn't even know how Nian Wanzhou had gotten through it, or why she had maintained that expression. He didn't even know if she was still alive.
Lexi wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't. He could only watch the pain the white dragon had endured in the pool.
We share the same feelings.
After everything was over, he heard Wei Wenru calling his name from above, her voice gentle yet urgent: "Second Junior Brother, wake up!"
Le Xi, as if grasping at a lifeline, frantically responded, "Senior sister, I'm here! Junior sister and I are both here!"
He desperately tried to find the source of the sound; that bright light was the only source of light he could see.
The moment he looked up, he found that what was hanging above him was the warm sun, not the icy water of the pool, and that what was holding him was... his senior brother.
Lexi: ...It's better if I don't wake up.
"Wasn't I below the pool? How could I be here..." Le Xi coughed several times, the warm sun gradually dispelling the chill on his body. Even so, he didn't forget to ask about Nian Wanzhou's condition: "How is Junior Sister?"
"I saw her still motionless under the pool, as if she had lost her soul, and the pool was actually frozen."
Wei Wenru looked rather unwell. When they arrived, the pool was completely frozen, and Le Xi was frozen to the surface, her face filled with terror and unease. As for Nian Wanzhou…
Curled up under the ice, its eyes half-closed, pupils appearing gray.
This state is terrifying.
Fortunately, Lexi's tail caught Nian Wanzhou, preventing him from completely losing his mind.
“Junior Sister has been taken away by the Sect Master. It was the Sixth Elder who broke the ice and saved the two of you. The Sixth Elder’s condition after breaking the ice was also very bad…” Song Yan carried Le Xi on his back so that his other side could bask in the warm sun.
The warm sun emanated from the sect leader's magical artifact, which was just right to soothe Le Xi's frozen body and dispel the chill from the inside out.
However, this didn't work on the junior sister.
"What exactly happened between you and Wanwan at the bottom of the pool? Why are you so terrified?" Wei Wenru reviewed what they had seen and asked Lexi what had happened.
"I... saw the scene ten thousand years ago, after the white dragon was sacrificed." Le Xi buried her head in Song Yan's back and spoke in a muffled voice that could only be heard by the two people nearby. Her emotions were unreadable, but she revealed a deep sadness.
"What did you say?" Wei Wenru was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. A white dragon sacrifice...
