Attract souls
Senior Brother Yan, you are suffering so much. I am here to save you. You cannot refuse.
Yan Tianhua glanced silently at what was in front of him. Suddenly, he felt dizzy, but he forced himself to stand up straight and showed no sign of anything amiss.
Back in his room at Jin Yulou, he vaguely realized that something was wrong with his senior brother.
"Senior Brother Yan..." Chi Wangyue met his gaze with joy, but he was about to collapse. At that moment, the terror in Chi Wangyue's eyes was impossible to hide.
"Senior Brother? Senior Brother!!!"
Hearing this, Gu Shuoxing immediately helped to support him. Bai Hanxin, as an alchemist and skilled in medicine, took a look and it seemed as if something was haunting him.
She told them to go back to their rooms immediately.
Yan Tianhua was carried into the room. Her eyes showed some pain, but she still insisted on enduring it.
For some reason, Chi Wangyue's heart clenched.
Bai Hanxin and the others were also in a hurry, and their pace became increasingly rushed, with the group moving at nearly two or three times their usual speed.
They put Yan Tianhua to bed, and Bai Hanxin carefully observed his condition. Then she took out a few pills from her brocade pouch, the effects of which softened the pain in Senior Brother Yan's expression.
Chi Wangyue subconsciously recalled the incident from last time, but her senior brother had also forgotten what had happened.
He just didn't say it at the time, perhaps because he really didn't remember.
Chi Wangyue pursed her lips, relying on her own guesses to worry for a long time.
He closed his eyes and took three deep breaths.
Bai Hanxin had already handled the situation professionally. She patted Chi Wangyue on the shoulder and said in a comforting tone, "The situation isn't bad. I can handle it. And you have to believe that Senior Brother Yan will recover soon."
Bai Hanxin continued, "However, I've noticed something amiss. Senior Brother Yan seems to be missing something in his soul. I'm not sure if my diagnosis is correct, as I haven't seen anything similar before, and my judgment is based solely on what I read in an ancient book."
"The contents of this ancient book are somewhat incomplete, but I have a unique solution from Danxin Peak. Chi Wangyue, you don't need to worry. Also, you have to learn to trust me. After all, concern can cloud judgment."
Bai Hanxin kept talking, but in the end, Chi Wangyue could only remember the four words "missing soul".
He hurriedly asked, "Bai Hanxin, how can he be treated?"
Bai Hanxin looked at him with a mixture of heartache and veiled meaning, "Of course, use yourself."
"Cough cough." Chi Wangyue couldn't help but drift in a certain improper direction, but halfway there she was pulled back by the neck because she couldn't stand it anymore.
Please explain in detail—
Bai Hanxin looked at him tenderly and said slowly, "I can use the Soul-Guiding Incense to make him fall into the depths of a certain memory, but someone needs to risk their life and use their own soul as a guide to lead the unconscious person. This fragment may directly annihilate the intruder, and it will contain the unconscious person, which is the part of Senior Brother Yan's most intense emotions."
No one can do this for you.
She lowered her eyes and murmured, "Do you want to?"
Chi Wangyue smiled and ruffled her loose hair, saying, "Why is my junior sister Bai so fussy? She has no chivalrous spirit at all."
In response, Bai Hanxin immediately bristled. She shook off the goosebumps that had risen on her body and said in a serious tone, "Chi Wangyue, are you out of your mind?"
Chi Wangyue smiled faintly, "I'm not sick. If I were sick, how could I escape the discerning eyes of our Junior Sister Bai?"
Also, when do we begin?
Looking at Chi Wangyue, who was eager to get to the point, Bai Hanxin couldn't help but advise, "Things aren't as simple as you think. You need to protect yourself and the person you want to protect."
Although she was talking, she was not slow in her actions, and she didn't have too much of the soul-summoning incense.
"Finally, I only have three soul-guiding incense sticks left. Before these three incense sticks burn out, please be sure to bring him back. Otherwise, you will also suffer mental damage or lose a few souls."
"If you're ready, let's begin."
After settling the two people in, Bai Hanxin lit incense to guide their souls.
Bai Hanxin also assigned herself a task: to protect them. In the event of an unexpected situation, she would do her utmost to save them.
Looking at the two people in front of her, she sincerely prayed, "Please don't let the black-haired bury the black-haired. You both have to be well."
Chi Wangyue felt as if his brain had been spun around in a washing machine hundreds of times. Only when his soul returned to his body did he feel much better.
Before him lay his dwelling, which should be the Ruthless Peak deep in Yan Tianhua's memory.
He got up and looked around. Everything was as before. He searched for his senior brother, but when he arrived at his residence, he found that the man was not there.
He searched everywhere, including the place where his master had been, but the results were unsatisfactory. Then, it belatedly dawned on him that he seemed to be the only person there.
Chi Wangyue didn't believe in superstitions, so he went to Danxin Peak next door and found that everyone was gone, in a physical sense.
Furthermore, Chi Wangyue went to Fufeng, but Fufeng was still deserted.
He returned to Yan Tianhua's residence in despair, hoping she would magically reappear by his side.
The result is always heartbreaking.
Chi Wangyue was unaware of the true nature of the Ruthless Peak hidden deep within Yan Tianhua's heart. Suddenly, he remembered that he had a cheat code.
[Hu Li? Calling Hu Li!]
Chi Wangyue urgently called out in her heart.
[Beep beep beep... Host... I... am... here...]
Chi Wangyue hurriedly asked, "Hu Li, how are you? Is the main system failing? Please don't leave me."
"Yes," Hu Li replied clearly.
[Please rest assured, host. What happened just now was simply a disconnection between the main system and this location. It is currently being repaired...]
I will never leave you; Hu Li will always be with you.
Chi Wangyue immediately realized her earlier blunder, coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment.
"Hu Li, can you check what happened here?"
Sorry, everything here is based on unknown data.
"I want to increase Yan Tianhua's favorability."
[Yan Tianhua's favorability rating: 95%]
Chi Wangyue was deeply shocked. Then, he opened the system panel and saw the message sent by the main system.
After a pause, he said, "I understand."
He smiled and said to Hu Li, "Thank you."
Suddenly, he said in his heart, "Wang Yue, are you there? I know you exist, but I hope you can help him."
Wang Yue sat on the vast expanse of blue flowers, silently listening to Chi Wangyue's calls in his ear.
"Not here."
"You agree. Please begin..." Chi Wangyue knew that the other party was stubborn but soft-hearted. He himself was also happy, but he always acted like a wooden doll without joy or sorrow.
The little wooden figure, Wang Yue, said, "I didn't agree."
Chi Wangyue continued, as if the signal was bad, "Oh, go on."
Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Yue simply retorted, "I'll try my best."
Chi Wangyue smiled and said, "Look, little wooden man."
Wang Yue ignored him; he didn't want to know how the other person came up with it from some unknown corner of the wall.
Chi Wangyue sat in the sea of blue flowers, watching their story unfold.
The origins of various things have been partially revealed by Chi Wangyue's rambling and unreasonable arguments. Although there is a lot of blood and tears involved, he does not want to be kept in the dark, and he does not want the person he loves to lose their soul.
"Wang Yue, it's too late for you to come out now," Elder Liu Wushuang said earnestly.
"Tens of millions of disciples on Danxin Peak are either dead or crippled. Your emergence from seclusion is not merely a case of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted; it's a case of one wrong move leading to a series of mistakes... Perhaps, even we cannot save you."
He heard his voice say, "How can you know if you don't try?"
Elder Lu Qingyun stood beside Elder Liu Wushuang. He was originally a carefree person, but now he was more reserved. "Then proceed as you wish."
Elder Liu Wushuang looked at Lu Qingyun with a helpless expression in his eyes. He was always quite helpless about some of the man's actions.
"Wang Yue, if you've put in 100% effort and still end up with a devastating result, then perhaps you shouldn't have done it at all, or at least do it to the best of your ability."
Wang Yue knows, Wang Yue understands.
He bid farewell to the two elders.
With Elder Xingjuan and Xu Nian missing and unable to contact them, his only option was to search for Yan Tianhua.
Yan Tianhua was in a thatched hut at this time. The conditions inside the thatched hut were terrible, but he had no choice but to endure it.
His master might die, the sect's safety was uncertain, and the sect leader was nowhere to be found. He only had Gu Shuoxing by his side. Gu Shuoxing was also injured.
The demons' attack was premeditated, giving them no time to react. Everything was utterly destroyed before the Ruthless Peak.
At that time, Yan Tianhua was the only person on Wuqing Peak.
Xing Juan had already gone out to fight the enemy, and each of the major peaks was guarded by its disciples. Yan Tianhua held off hundreds of demons by herself.
Not only was he celebrated, but opinions also varied. They recognized his contributions, but failed to see the injuries he had suffered.
The other peaks and sects are like evaluation platforms, each worse than the last. When faced with such situations, they shirk responsibility faster than anyone else.
Yan Tianhua remained on Wuqing Peak, not daring to leave, surrounded by thousands of demon minions. He did not fall, but held on tightly with his sword, guarding the mountain even with his eyes closed.
"His life hung by a thread, and no medicine could cure him," and there were not enough people available to treat him at the time.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuoxing traveled through the night without sleep, exhausting several horses to death. By the time he finally found him, the little blood left on his body had gone cold.
Gu Shuoxing's eyes reddened at that moment. He touched his neck with trembling hands. Fortunately, it was still warm... He carried his battered body, stumbling and falling again as he got up, and left Luoshu.
He didn't know how to treat it, so he could only use his connections to seek medical help everywhere. After a long time, a doctor finally came to treat him.
"My name is Bai Hanxin. Follow me." Bai Hanxin said coldly, calmly dealing with the situation before her.
They arrived at the thatched house in the rain. His wounds had penetrated deep into his bones, but as a cultivator, his physical strength was exceptional. Even so, he was beyond saving.
Just when Gu Shuoxing felt helpless, Wang Yue arrived. He was soaking wet, and when he saw Bai Hanxin, he nodded slightly in greeting, "Junior Sister Bai."
Junior Sister Bai asked him, "Are you out?"
He simply replied with one word, "Mm".
Afterwards, he sat down next to Yan Tianhua, looking at his injuries, and asked, "What should we do?"
Bai Hanxin didn't care for the consequences for a moment. "I'll give you half your life in exchange. Senior Brother Chi, are you afraid?"
“Come on.” He said succinctly.
Gu Shuoxing looked at Wang Yue, "You're out."
Wang Yue replied, "Mm."
He heard him say in a hoarse voice, "You're late."
“Perhaps,” Wang Yue replied.
"Did Bai Hanxin send you?" Gu Shuoxing paused.
Bai Hanxin quickly distanced herself from the messy relationships of Wuqing Peak, saying, "That's not true. It was Senior Brother Chi who wanted to come. He just happened to pick this up on the way, and then, on a whim, he insisted on coming along."
Gu Shuoxing remained silent for a long time before saying, "Junior brother, you did nothing wrong, and I don't blame you."
However, we both made a mistake. When faced with a difficult situation, only he stepped forward. I regret it. I shouldn't have lingered in the mortal world, staying there—no, not going home. I was wrong. If there is an afterlife, I would like to stay on Heartless Peak, playing with you all, chatting with Master to relieve his boredom.
"But is it too late to say all this now? Is it too late?" I am in so much pain, so much regret, and so sad, for myself, for my senior brother, for Wuqing Peak, for Luoshu, and for all the innocent people on their side.
However, it seems I was never able to save them.
By the end, Gu Shuoxing's voice was hoarse, and he was utterly exhausted.
By the time Chi Wangyue spoke again, he had already fallen asleep.
"No, there's hope for everything." Chi Wangyue felt no pain; he felt numb in the face of it all, passively moving forward.
He draped a clean but somewhat worn and not-so-warm blanket over Gu Shuoxing.
Then, with a blank expression, he said to Bai Hanxin, "Let's begin."
Bai Hanxin stared at him. "You really came? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Wang Yue offered no further explanation, simply replying, "Hmm."
Seeing his reaction, Bai Hanxin readily took action. Her touch was rough and forceful, but Wang Yue remained expressionless, except for the cold sweat constantly trickling down his face.
"Tsk, stubborn brat, you'll get what's coming to you later," Bai Hanxin commented impatiently.
"Thank you, Junior Sister Bai."
Wang Yue watched as the person in front of him became increasingly blurry, and finally, he too collapsed.
Bai Hanxin felt that she must have done too many bad things in her past life, otherwise, why would these three people, all injured, be clinging to her? She endured it, and with one burst of energy, she had the idea of throwing them out the door.
They were given a simple and basic shelter.
When Gu Shuoxing woke up, he saw the three of them lying on the bed, each with a blanket, while Bai Hanxin sat on the bed and said calmly, "Awake? Come and help if you're awake."
Gu Shuoxing was in soreness all over his body and felt terrible, but he patiently suppressed his temper and diligently helped with the cleaning.
When Wang Yue woke up, he also helped. He had shared half of his life, so he didn't have many emotions.
Gu Shuoxing was left grumbling and cursing, going on and on like an endless old woman.
"..."
When Yan Tianhua woke up, both of them were there.
"you?"
Gu Shuoxing said, "We're here."
Wang Yue ignored him, but she clearly heard him.
Bai Hanxin squinted as she watched the three of them regain their senses, then immediately kicked them all out.
Yan Tianhua was thrown out of the house as soon as she woke up.
...
Gu Shuoxing kept saying, "Senior Brother, you have to take good care of yourself."
"Okay, I understand," Yan Tianhua said, rubbing her forehead.
