Soul and spirit scattered
There was complete silence in the deserted house. Yunti and Xianyoulin listened carefully to what Fang Jinghe had said.
That's why Fang Jinghe was so weak when he appeared. His spiritual power was already very low, and he had to control the magic weapon to take them away. With his spiritual power exhausted and his heart unstable, he must have been in great pain...
Thinking of this, Yunti couldn't help but hug Fang Jinghe. She was standing, Fang Jinghe's head resting on her waist and his arms around her thighs.
What made Fang Jinghe suffer more than the physical pain was the emotional hurt. Although he said that he had severed the father-son relationship with Fang Jiming, he knew that he was reluctant to do so in his heart... After all, Fang Jiming had everything except love.
"Do you blame him?" Yunti asked.
"I don't know, but he has done so many excessive things, I am very disappointed..." Fang Jinghe said confusedly.
"I need to make it clear to you, he harmed the three of us, mother and daughter, and I will definitely seek revenge on him!" Yunti said stiffly. Although she didn't like Fang Jiming, he was Fang Jinghe's biological father after all. She didn't want to make Fang Jinghe embarrassed, and if he proposed to separate, she would not blame him.
Fang Jinghe wanted to say that he had severed ties with his father but couldn't say it.
At this moment, An Luoyi woke up, and Xian Youlin called softly: "Luoyi, Luoyi."
An Luoyi noticed that Xian Youlin was in a trance. She was about to ask why she was here when she remembered the matter of the altar. An Luoyi eagerly pulled Xian Youlin's sleeve and said, "Where's the ladder? The ladder!"
Yunti immediately rushed in front of her: "Sister, I'm here."
Seeing her sister An Luoyi was slightly relieved, but she soon thought of her mother again. She looked around and saw Fang Jinghe there, but no sign of her mother. She asked Yunti, "Where's mother?"
Yunti's excited eyes turned lonely. An Luoyi sat up and Xian Youlin supported her gently for fear of tearing the wound.
"Say something, where's mother?" Yunti's silence made An Luoyi uneasy. This was the first time she spoke loudly to Yunti.
Yunti sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, sister. Mother insisted on returning to the Immortal Palace, and I couldn't stop her."
"What!" An Luoyi was so angry that he couldn't help vomiting blood when he stood up.
"sister!"
"Luo Yi!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, and Fang Jinghe also looked over worriedly.
An Luoyi pushed away the supporting hands of Xian Youlin and Yunti: "Get out of the way, I want to go find my mother."
"Sister, I'll go with you!" Yunti took a step forward.
An Luoyi frowned and looked at her: "You are not allowed to go."
"Why!" Yunti said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't you know how dangerous the fairyland is to you and me now?" An Luoyi scolded.
"If it's dangerous, why don't you let me go with you?" Yunti complained softly, "Please don't leave me alone again, okay?"
An Luoyi's face was bitter. If he hadn't let Yunti leave the fairyland alone, why would she be captured? It was all his fault. Looking at Yunti's clear and aggrieved eyes, An Luoyi made up his mind: "Okay, I won't let you be alone in the future."
Yunti smiled and hugged An Luoyi with tears in his eyes.
"Neither of you are allowed to go." Xian Youlin, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
An Luoyi looked at Xian Youlin coldly: "Mother is under attack from all sides in the Immortal Palace, how can I not go!"
Xian Youlin was furious: "Don't you think your injuries are bad enough? Who can you save with all these injuries?"
"Xian Youlin!" An Luoyi said angrily, "This is my family affair and none of your business."
It turned out... that she was just an outsider. An Luoyi's cold words made Xian Youlin's heart ache as if it were being pricked by dense needles.
Xian Youlin is usually as gentle as jade, and although An Luoyi is intimidating without getting angry, he has never been truly angry. They didn't expect that the two of them would speak so harshly at this moment, and Yunti and Fang Jinghe were both shocked.
"Sister." Yunti quietly pulled An Luoyi's sleeve.
Fang Jinghe also put his arm around Xian Youlin's shoulders and laughed: "We are all friends, why should we be so serious?"
"Yes, sister, why not let Xian Youlin and Fang Jinghe join us, and the four of us can still travel together like before." After saying that, Yunti paused. She subconsciously equated Fang Jinghe with herself. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Fang Jinghe to face Fang Jiming together?
Fang Jinghe was also stunned when he heard this, but he did not refute Yunti.
An Luoyi seemed to realize that she had spoken too much, so she relaxed her anger and stopped talking.
A strange silence hung between the four of them until Mu Qianyu arrived, breaking the awkward atmosphere. She looked downcast, and it was Fang Jinghe who first noticed her and called out, "Great Sima."
"Qianqian, why do you look so haggard? The Elders' Hall is making things difficult for you!" An Luoyi hurried forward.
Mu Qianyu shook her head and took out a phoenix feather. An Luoyi suddenly widened his eyes and snatched the feather.
Seeing An Luoyi staring at the Phoenix Feather Ladder infatuatedly, he hurriedly asked, "Qianyu, how is my mother?"
Mu Qianyu lowered her head and said, "The Immortal Lord's true fire atoned for your sins and preserved your two positions in the Immortal Realm... From now on, Xiaoyi will be the Immortal Lord, and Yunti will be the Immortal Saint."
An Luoyi fell to the ground with a thud. Xian Youlin bent down to help her up, while Fang Jinghe was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Yunti asked in confusion, "What does that mean? What does it mean to wash away sins with true fire?"
Mu Qianyu glanced at An Luoyi deliberately and said, "This is an ancient precept of the Phoenix Clan. Those who have committed unforgivable sins can burn themselves with the Phoenix True Fire to wash away their sins. From then on, they will still be members of the Phoenix Clan."
"What..." Yunti said tremblingly, "Can my mother still survive?"
Mu Qianyu couldn't bear to say it, Yunti looked at Fang Jinghe with tears in his eyes, and said: "True fire washes away sins, and the soul is scattered."
Tears streamed down Yunti's face. She said unwillingly, "Why... Mother only took the demon necklace. Why do you say she is guilty of a heinous crime?"
The soul and spirit are scattered... that means there is no chance of reincarnation. Most people probably wouldn't choose this. No wonder Xian Youlin had never heard of the Phoenix Clan having such a punishment. He shouldn't have spoken to An Luoyi like that just now... He looked at An Luoyi with heartache.
An Luoyi disappeared with a wave of her sleeves. Everyone was shocked. Yunti immediately chased after her and shouted, "Sister!"
Mu Qianyu said in panic: "She must have returned to the Ninth Heaven! What should I do?"
After hearing this, Yunti flew after her, saying that she couldn't leave her sister alone no matter what!
Seeing the ladder flying away and disappearing, the three of them no longer hesitated and cast spells to catch up.
An Luoyi flew through the air, and the wounds on her body were torn open again due to the big movements. Drops of blood bloomed like plum blossoms, but she felt no pain and kept speeding up.
"Mother, Mother, wait for me." An Luoyi's mind was always on her mother. She regretted saying so many harsh words and having been in a cold war with her mother for so long. When she thought about never seeing her mother again, tears flowed uncontrollably.
As soon as An Luoyi stepped into the Ninth Heaven, the cloud ladder arrived right after him, but the two of them, one in front and one behind, never met each other.
An Luoyi finally arrived at the altar, only to see An Nanchi tied to a pillar, her entire body surrounded by raging flames. Her soul was burning, and An Nanchi's face was distorted with pain, but she never cried out.
An Luoyi stumbled into the fire. Before she could get close, a powerful immortal force pushed her away. She tumbled down the Phoenix Terrace. An elder shouted sternly, "No one is allowed to disrupt the execution ground!"
The powerful pressure fell on An Luoyi, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, and she climbed up the stairs bit by bit against the pressure of gravity. Her blood-stained clothes had long red marks, but she still climbed up stubbornly.
An Nanchi naturally saw her daughter. She, who had been strong all her life, shed two lines of tears: "Luo Yi! Don't come any closer, you will be hurt!"
An Luoyi continued to climb the stairs regardless: "Mother... don't abandon us..."
The two people suffered different torments, yet speaking was equally labored. Between them lay a boundless sea of fire... endless...
After a lot of effort, An Luoyi climbed up to the Phoenix Terrace. A barrier separated the mother and daughter. An Luoyi's bloody hands beat against the barrier in an attempt to break it, but her remaining spiritual power was completely useless!
An Nanchi's soul burned away bit by bit, and despite her unwavering resolve, she couldn't help but wail. An Luoyi could only watch her mother struggle, the pain piercing her body and soul like a knife, as if a hand were twisting her heart, choking her.
"Mother, mother!" An Luoyi cried over and over again, "Someone can save her, someone come and save her!"
The elders stood by and watched, the immortal soldiers couldn't bear to watch, and many of the tribesmen who were watching the execution sighed and groaned, but no one made a move to save her mother! An Luoyi gathered all her heart's blood at all costs, as long as she could transform it into a blood arrow, she would be able to break the barrier. The arrow slowly took shape, and her face became paler and paler, as if she would die at any moment.
"Bang!"
It sounded like a barrier shattering. An Luoyi, overjoyed, looked up as the unfinished arrow in his hand dissipated. Though dressed in red, the newcomer was clearly bloodstained. She wielded two swords, one named "Bai Ying" and the other "Qing Yan." Her movements were swaying, and her swords were fierce... A cross of sword energy pierced the air, shattering the barrier.
Yunti took An Luoyi's hand and pulled her up. An Luoyi called out blankly, "Sister..." For the first time, she felt that she was not so isolated and helpless...
"Let's bring mother back together..." Yunti said softly.
An Luoyi felt the heat around her eyes, and she smiled and responded, "Okay."
"Don't... don't come over." Annan said reluctantly.
"Mother!" The two sisters looked at An Nanchi at the same time.
"Why... don't you listen?" An Nanchi felt a burning pain as if his soul was being torn apart. "I said... go!"
"No! Mother! Since our family can no longer be reunited, let's go to Purgatory together!" Yunti roared, "I've already lost my family once, I can't lose them again..."
"My sister is right. Mother, our family must stay together no matter what!" An Luoyi said firmly.
"You...you...are...confused..." Annan said word by word.
An Nanchi had no choice but to use the last of her spiritual power to push the two sisters away. The Phoenix True Fire suddenly became more violent, and the flames swept across the entire Phoenix Terrace and seemed to extend outward. No one could get close within three feet!
"No! Mother!" the two shouted.
But in a moment, the flames shot up into the sky and then dissipated! Annan's body and soul disappeared as the fire died out. From then on, this person no longer existed in the world!
An Luoyi collapsed into Yunti's arms exhausted and passed out, while the phoenix feather in her arms was shining brightly, as if it was transporting something to her.
Yunti fell down at the foot of the Phoenix Terrace, holding her sister. She was terrified and shouted, "Someone come! Someone come!"
The previous Immortal Lord has disappeared... The current Immortal Lord must not be in any danger again. The elders hurriedly called the immortal servants and ordered them to send An Luoyi back to his residence.
Mu Qianyu and the other two arrived late and happened to witness this scene. Xian Youlin did not let anyone else touch An Luoyi, but instead carefully picked her up.
The four returned to Chaoyun Hall, and the punishment finally ended with the soul of Annan Chi Shen disintegrating...
