Being called by Wei Qinghe at this moment made Daoist Fuyue feel very happy.
Even when Qinghe was not fully conscious, she could still call him, which shows that he held an extraordinary position in Wei Qinghe's heart.
Especially at this crucial moment, Wei Qinghe needs him.
However, Wei Qinghe's current cultivation level was not yet sufficient... He felt a slight sense of disappointment and helplessness.
He accelerated the transfer of the toxins, firstly because he didn't want Wei Qinghe to continue suffering, and secondly because he didn't want to give the demon race a chance to cause trouble.
As more and more toxins were transferred to his body, and he was facing Wei Qinghe, who was disheveled, his face quickly flushed.
If it weren't for his excellent self-control, he probably wouldn't have been able to continue.
As the toxins spread, Wei Qinghe's body temperature dropped rapidly.
At the same time, the sounds of fierce fighting came from outside.
Qiao Luoning felt a pang of panic; the demon race was approaching.
She immediately drew her sword, worried about both the situation outside and the two people inside the formation.
The originally dim candlelight, flickering in the cold wind, became even more eerie and sinister.
A figure rushed in from outside, carrying a strong smell of blood. "Fairy..."
"Village chief, you're still alive." Qiao Luoning recognized the person as the village chief of Yongquan Village.
The village chief had a hideous bloody hole on his forehead, and his clothes were tattered and covered in bloody cuts.
It's clear that he suffered a great deal before returning.
The village chief wiped away a tear, "I thought I was going to die too. After I was separated from the fairies and immortals, I fell unconscious. When I woke up, I rushed back..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the two people inside the formation. Wei Qinghe had his back to him, so he could only see Fuyue Daozun's face getting redder and redder.
"Is this fairy alright? Is Daoist Fuyue able to go out now? There are so many demons outside..."
Daoist Fuyue opened his eyes again; how could he not know about the flashing swords and clashing blades outside?
"It will be ready soon."
The situation outside is critical, and Wei Qinghe is in even greater danger.
As the village chief spoke, he glanced towards the door, his expression growing increasingly anxious.
"Daoist Fuyue, time is of the essence. We would like to leave this place now. The fissure in the ground is expanding rapidly, and I'm afraid this village will collapse very soon."
"The demon race is coming in with overwhelming force..."
Another huge explosion was heard, and the ground shook violently.
Fuyue Daozun had no choice but to stop what he was doing. He looked at Wei Qinghe with self-reproach and shame, and his hand, which was originally pressed tightly against Wei Qinghe's palm, was now clenched.
A brief handshake filled him with a mix of emotions. Perhaps he had a thousand words to say, but after a moment of hesitation, he said to Qiao Luoning, "Qinghe is in your hands now."
Qiao Luoning understood what Fuyue Daozun meant. With the demon race launching a sudden attack, Fuyue Daozun was definitely the better choice to take action than she was.
"Rest assured, Daoist Fuyue, I will protect my junior sister."
Even if Daoist Fuyue didn't say it, she would still risk her life to protect her junior sister.
As soon as she got close, she felt as if she had suddenly entered a steaming hot steamer.
As Daoist Fuyue departed, the intense heat was instantly dissipated.
Qiao Luoning helped Wei Qinghe up and found that Wei Qinghe's body temperature had basically returned to normal, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, Daoist Fuyue turned back and looked at her again, saying, "Qinghe should be waking up soon. Protect her well."
Qiao Luoning felt that Daoist Fuyue was being a bit long-winded, but since it concerned her junior sister, she nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Daoist Fuyue, my junior sister is here, and she is here even if I am not."
After Daoist Fuyue left, the village chief said even more anxiously, "Fairy, let's go first."
As a louder commotion came from underground, Qiao Luoning dared not delay. She could not risk her junior sister's safety, so she carried Wei Qinghe and left with the village chief.
Although the village chief limped, he walked quickly, and the group soon crossed a patch of reeds and arrived at the riverbank.
Wei Qinghe woke up in a chill, hearing the reeds rustling in the cold wind, and the dark sky seemed to have been robbed of its light.
"Senior Sister..."
Even now, she can still recall the strange sensations she experienced in her body.
In a hazy state, she seemed to be in the embrace of Daoist Fuyue, and her breath was filled with the faint snow fragrance emanating from Daoist Fuyue.
When he opened his eyes again, he didn't see Daoist Fuyue, but instead saw Qiao Luoning's tense face.
"Junior Sister, you're awake."
Qiao Luoning was overjoyed and quickly put her down, then asked with concern, "Junior Sister, how are you feeling now? Are you still in pain?"
Wei Qinghe was still feeling a little unwell, but overall she was alright.
"It's alright now."
She knew she had been infected by the mimosa flower, and it seemed that she didn't necessarily have to do anything indescribable.
"Who gave me the antidote?"
She had no idea how to detoxify it, but she was very curious about who had such a great ability.
“It’s Daoist Fuyue.” Qiao Luoning didn’t think much of it; in her opinion, as long as her junior sister was well, nothing else mattered.
"Daoist Fuyue?" Wei Qinghe found it unbelievable that Daoist Fuyue had such abilities. She would thank him properly later and ask him for guidance.
The village chief suddenly turned around, and the candlelight from the lantern illuminated Wei Qinghe's naturally beautiful face.
“Two fairies, there is a tunnel here, left by our ancestors. We can go in temporarily.”
"Village chief, lead the way." Qiao Luoning only wanted to protect Wei Qinghe right now, and could help her after Wei Qinghe recovered.
Wei Qinghe glanced at the village chief and said, "Senior Sister, you should go help. I'll go with the village chief. My spiritual energy is exhausted and I won't be able to recover for a while."
Qiao Luoning was unwilling to leave. "Junior Sister, Daoist Fuyue and other fellow Daoists are over there."
"Senior Sister, the demon race is making such a blatant move; they must have some kind of conspiracy. There are probably quite a few demons here this time. You should go and help them," Wei Qinghe said again.
"I just haven't recovered my spiritual power yet. I'll be safe as long as I follow the village chief into the tunnel."
Qiao Luoning thought for a moment, met Wei Qinghe's clear phoenix eyes, and finally chose to listen to Wei Qinghe.
Seeing Qiao Luoning leave on his sword, Wei Qinghe turned to look at the village chief.
"Thank you for leading the way, village chief."
The village chief's expression remained anxious. "Fairy, you are too kind. You were poisoned because of us, which is why you have no spiritual power now."
Wei Qinghe followed behind the village chief. The two walked along the riverbank through the dense reeds and came to a high slope, where there was a stone covered with moss.
The village chief stepped forward and pressed on the stone a few times, and the stone moved to the right like a sliding door.
An irregularly shaped door appeared, and the passageway was chilly and cold. My first impression was that this tunnel must be very deep.
“Fairy, this is the secret tunnel of our Yongquan Village. It’s a bit damp and cold inside, please don’t mind.” The village chief turned around and looked at Wei Qinghe with some unease.
