The sect leader of Guixu Sect also expressed his acceptance of the situation: "Zhou Bai, thank you. I haven't been able to help much this time, and I'm still troubling you and your disciples."
The two people were lying very close together.
The sect leader shook his head: "You've been a great help. Besides, this is an undeserved disaster for you. We've known each other for so many years, this little thing is nothing."
Looking up at the gradually dissipating black mist, the sect leader felt a strange sense of unease.
These people... seem to be targeting Nian Wanzhou, but what they're saying also suggests they're not letting Wei Wenru off the hook.
Of course, to outsiders, Zhang Jinchi was simply targeting all cultivators, intending to destroy them all.
If it weren't for Nian Wanzhou, they would probably all have perished here.
After settling her sect members in, Wei Wenru watched them leave with reluctance before seeking out the person in charge of the Guixu Sect to discuss the matter.
After the turmoil, everyone was extremely exhausted, but they had to stay alert and return to the sect as soon as possible.
If they are severely injured at this critical juncture, no one can protect them. With the sect leader and other powerful figures all fallen, they need to hurry back to their hometown to recuperate.
Although the elders were present, they were too busy to attend to anything else.
The female disciple of the Tianji Sect single-handedly shouldered all the affairs of the sect. Her sect suffered the most, not only injuring the sect leader and several elders in charge, but also losing an outstanding inner disciple.
Even more outrageous is that the one they were most concerned about, the little white dragon who saved everyone, also fell into a coma as a result.
The White Dragon used its power to save many disciples who were being swallowed by the black mist, and even used its own body to resist a powerful being, ultimately killing the opponent.
I don't know how she did it.
While remaining curious, the disciples also gave space to the Heavenly Mystery Sect to relocate and help them treat the wounded. They remembered this kindness in their hearts.
......
After Wei Wenru prepared all the disciples' flying ships, she watched them leave. Then she resolved their issues with the person in charge of the Guixu Sect before finally boarding the last ship to return home.
Everyone also witnessed the Tianji Sect's chief disciple's ability to handle affairs.
Of course, what impressed them most was her extraordinary strength, making her the undisputed number one.
Everyone remained silent throughout the journey, the atmosphere heavy and tense. Even Song Yan, sitting in the front row, held his breath in anticipation.
After an unknown amount of time, Nian Wanzhou, who had been lying on the warm jade artifact with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
When she woke up, she was already on the spaceship. She saw the people guarding the jade artifact and asked weakly, "Where is Third Senior Brother?"
The crowd remained silent, unsure how to respond.
Nian Wanzhou felt a surge of anxiety and struggled to sit up. Just as she was about to stand up, Nan Yu supported her with one hand: "Wanwan, don't move around! You'll only make your injuries worse. You need to rest now."
That sound...
Nian Wanzhou suddenly turned her head and asked anxiously with a sob in her voice, "Nanyu, what should we do about Third Senior Brother? I couldn't protect him and I can't save him. Does Master have a way? He must have, right?"
Song Yan looked at her, his eyes full of worry: "Wanwan...you should recover first, we'll take care of the rest, okay?"
As Song Yan spoke, he wiped away her tears and comforted her, telling her not to be too sad.
The dragon-shaped Nian Wanzhou was still covered in blood, but instead of bloody tears, it was clear tears, which was very pitiful.
Nian Wanzhou gripped his hand, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs: "Senior Brother, it's my fault for not protecting Third Senior Brother. If I hadn't been so overconfident and rushed forward, Third Senior Brother wouldn't have been there with me..."
"Waaah, I'm not afraid of that spell, but my third senior brother can't withstand it."
Nan Yu felt a pang of heartache and quickly wrapped herself even tighter around Nian Wanzhou's body.
Lexi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Wanwan, this is not your fault. You have done your best. If it weren't for you, we would all be dead."
Song Yan also felt sorry for you: "Wanwan, listen to your senior brothers. This is not your fault. What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself. Zhishan would not want to see you like this either."
Nian Wanzhou hugged Nanyu tightly and cried uncontrollably, her sobs echoing throughout the entire spaceship.
Nan Yu gently patted her back and softly comforted her.
For a moment, the cabin was quiet, except for the few infected people who were secretly sobbing.
After an unknown amount of time, Nian Wanzhou finally stopped crying, lifted her head from Nan Yu's embrace, and sobbed, "Nan Yu, I need to save my third senior brother. Where did you hide him?"
Her eyes were bloodshot, with blood vessels around them, indicating that she was in a state of extreme emotional distress and was somewhat mentally unstable.
There were also faint bruises around her eyes, probably from excessive grief.
Zhao Zhishan had them put the person inside a magical artifact, not daring to let Nian Wanzhou see it. Moreover... when he initially tried to take the person out of Nian Wanzhou's arms, she was unwilling to let go.
She was really afraid that Zhao Zhishan would just leave like that.
Nan Yu felt a pang of sadness seeing her like that and quickly comforted her, "Wanwan, don't cry. Third Senior Brother doesn't want to see you cry. Let's get some sleep and we'll see him when we get back."
As if she had thought of something, Nian Wanzhou continued to cry, sobbing like a sick child.
"I want Senior Sister Wenru, I want Mommy, waah, I want..." Nian Wanzhou cried out in a daze, but before she could finish speaking, she fainted again.
"Wanwan!" Lexi and the others rushed forward to check on her and confirmed that Nian Wanzhou had only fainted due to excessive grief and confusion, and that she was not in any danger. They breathed a sigh of relief.
After Nian Wanzhou fell into a coma, everyone's emotions stabilized a bit, and they stopped being sad. They all focused on their own cultivation and healing.
Before they knew it, they were back in the sect.
A somber atmosphere permeated the entire sect, and even the outer disciples wore sorrowful expressions, remaining quiet and undisturbed throughout the journey.
In previous competitions, everyone always returned to cheers, but this time...
Putting everything else aside, Zhao Zhishan's body has been properly collected and arranged within the sect, and they are just waiting for the sect leader and the others to return.
Moreover, everyone in the sect, including the younger generation, was assigned tasks and began to work diligently.
People from the Guixu Sect also returned.
The Guixu Sect was filled with black mist and spiritual energy, making it uninhabitable for people to stay there. They had no choice but to stay at the Tianji Sect. Fortunately, the Tianji Sect was large and hospitable, and in an instant, it became lively and bustling again.
