Chapter 229 Weighing the Pros and Cons
Although Shao Ji Qianxue's obsession wasn't deep, seeing Xiaoyao Lang being affectionate with another woman right in front of her still caused her an indescribable bitterness! Fortunately, that person was Murong Hanchan, so she wasn't too disgusted.
Xiaoyao Lang turned to Shen Qianying and said, "Speak, what did Chan'er promise you? I will do it for her, but you must remove the sword energy from her heart."
Shen Qianying glanced at Shao Ji Qianxue, knowing that the barrier seal was no longer a secret, and immediately said, "As long as she helps to break the seal of this realm, I will remove the deadly sword energy in her heart for her."
"Do you think we're three-year-olds?! I'll help! But you must remove the sword energy from Chan'er's body right now, or we're out of the question!" Xiaoyao Lang said resolutely.
"Impossible! It can't be done!" Shen Qianying responded firmly.
Murong Hanchan glanced at her, then turned to Xiaoyao Lang and said, "Let's go! We can't be bothered with them!"
"Alright!" Xiaoyao Lang put his arm around Murong Hanchan's slender waist and was about to leave.
Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, Shao Ji Qianxue immediately stepped in to mediate between the two sides, saying, "Please wait here, both of you!"
Upon hearing Yi Qingxue's call, Xiaoyao Lang and Murong Hanchan stopped and turned to look at Yi Qingxue.
Shao Ji Qianxue continued, "You are all cultivators, but your path to immortality is blocked by a seal. To break the seal, you need the resonance of the seven-colored dragon souls and the combined power of nine supreme saints to succeed! Your entire life's cultivation depends on this, and I'm sure it's what you all dream of."
A melodious voice lingered in everyone's ears, and no one spoke. Shao Ji Qianxue turned her gaze to Shen Qianying, "If you don't mind, I'm willing to act as the middleman! You can remove the deadly sword energy from Miss Murong in exchange for their help in breaking the seal. Would you be willing?"
A lifetime of arduous cultivation, all for the sake of ascending to immortality! Shao Ji Qianxue's suggestion suddenly brightened everyone's eyes. Shen Qianying's expression remained complex. She secretly pondered the situation: "That eccentric couple, Murong Hanchan and her lover, are more daring than immortals. Killing them would only bring me harm. Now, Shao Ji Qianxue is giving me the choice, a way out for both of us. If I don't understand, I fear everyone will turn against me..."
After a moment of contemplation, Shen Qianying immediately said, "Since Senior is willing to vouch for me, then Shen Qianying will respectfully comply! Furthermore, I have no enmity with Murong Hanchan. The reason I left this move inside her was for the purpose of sealing her. I hope Miss Murong will not take offense!"
Having said that, he nodded respectfully to Murong Hanchan. Then, he flashed to her side, his true energy exploding, and with a wave of his jade pen, he dispelled the three deadly sword energies within Murong Hanchan's body.
With the internal technique released, Murong Hanchan lowered her eyes and then raised them again. "Since you have made such a concession, we will naturally lend a hand. As for how to contribute in the future, we will follow your instructions." After she finished speaking, she and Xiaoyao Lang looked at each other and smiled.
"Very good!" Shao Ji Qianxue's gaze swept over everyone present. "Now that the seven-colored dragon souls have gathered! There are already eight people with the cultivation level of Saint, and we are still missing one! The great undertaking can be accomplished!" She then turned her gaze to Ling Qichen.
Xiaoyao Lang looked at the white-haired Ling Xueyan lying on the ground and was suddenly shocked. He then remembered the seriously injured Yue Ruchu! "Alas! I am a terrible person!" he cursed himself and hurriedly ran to Yue Ruchu, who was not far away. He immediately helped her up and began to heal her and restore her strength.
Seeing Xiaoyao Lang's flustered expression, Murong Hanchan followed him to find out what was going on. She saw him healing Yue Ruchu with his internal energy, so she spontaneously stood by and silently protected her.
Shao Ji Qianxue walked towards Ling Qichen, and Zhu Ziyue and the others followed. In a short while, the five of them surrounded Ling Xueyan and her companion. Yu Linglong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to go to Xiaoyao Lang's side.
Seeing Ling Qichen sitting quietly, holding the withered Ling Xueyan, his eyes glazed over, clearly overwhelmed with grief, Shen Qianying sighed, "It's a pity that her cultivation has reached the Saintly Realm, and her inner energy has dissipated. To recover to her former state, she would need to reassemble her inner energy, which this body certainly cannot withstand."
Zhu Ziyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, bent down and used her Yin-Yang magic to probe Ling Xueyan's body, excitedly saying to Ling Qichen, "Young Master Ling, do not worry, your little sister can still be saved!"
"Hmm?" Shao Ji Qianxue murmured, seemingly having also seen the opportunity.
"Really?!" Ling Qichen was the most excited. Hearing that Ling Xueyan could still be saved, he immediately grabbed Zhu Ziyue's arm. "My little sister can still be saved! Please save her! Miss Ziyue, I beg you..." As he spoke, he kowtowed to Zhu Ziyue.
Zhu Ziyue hurriedly helped him up. "Young Master Ling, it wasn't me who could save her, but yourself! Normally, once a person's inner energy collapses, there's no way to save them. But fortunately, someone planted a forbidden technique in her heart, which protected her heart from failing! And the only person who could plant such a forbidden technique is this senior!" After saying that, she turned her gaze to Shao Ji Qianxue.
Ling Qichen stared blankly at Shao Ji Qianxue, unsure of what to say. Shao Ji Qianxue immediately said, "This forbidden technique was indeed left behind by me! It was only because she came to my door that day and made things difficult for me that I had no choice but to leave this move behind! I never expected that she would actually benefit from this misfortune!"
"If that's the case! You must have a way to save my sister. Please lend a hand! I will never forget your great kindness!" Ling Qichen immediately pleaded with Shao Ji Qianxue.
Shao Ji Qianxue glanced at Ling Xueyan, "As Miss Zhu said, saving your little sister depends on you alone; we are powerless to help. However, if you agree to help us break the seal, I can help you remove the forbidden technique on her heart! With Miss Zhu's help, your little sister's life might be saved!"
“I agree!” Ling Qichen replied without hesitation.
"Very well! Your little sister's body is already beyond its limits, there's no point in keeping her any longer!" With that, he waved his hand and slashed a gash across Ling Xueyan's chest. Then, with a quick movement, he held her beating heart in his hand!
At the same time that Shao Ji Qianxue made her move, Zhu Ziyue also used Yin-Yang magic to temporarily protect Ling Xueyan's soul.
Once the forbidden technique on the heart was lifted, the two joined forces. Shao Ji Qianxue donated Ling Xueyan's heart to Ling Qichen's body; Zhu Ziyue also transferred Ling Xueyan's soul to Ling Qichen's body, thus creating a body with two souls.
Ling Qichen's body trembled slightly, her mind somewhat dazed. Shao Ji Qianxue said crisply, "We've preserved your little sister's soul and heart using this method! When the time is right, you can resurrect her as before!"
"What timing is needed? Please enlighten me." Ling Qichen asked, puzzled.
Shao Ji Qianxue pointed to the side and said, "We have found the ancient dragon bone!"
Seeing Ling Qichen's blank expression, Zhu Ziyue felt sorry for her and immediately comforted her, saying, "You don't need to worry too much. As long as the seal on this world is broken, I will help you find the dragon bone and rebuild your little sister's true form."
Hearing Zhu Ziyue's words, Ling Qichen's heart was filled with hope. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she choked up and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you!"
