Li Fire sat down beside Xun Wind, reached out, and gently grasped his hand, which trembled slightly with nervousness and unease. "Since you once doubted your own abilities, the future you foresaw may not necessarily come true."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in this atmosphere.
Xun Wind, who had been looking down, suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief. He turned to look at Li Fire beside him, as if seeking some kind of confirmation. The others understood this as well.
Kan Water thoughtfully picked up a piece of Xun Wind's favorite dish with his chopsticks and handed it to him, saying gently, "You've always relied on your Intuition, and you can never keep anything to yourself. Whatever you've seen, you can tell us so we can face it together, right?"
"I..." Xun Wind's voice choked as soon as he opened his mouth. He tried hard to suppress his emotions, his chest heaving violently, as if he was fighting a fierce battle with the pain in his heart.
After a long period of contemplation, as if he had finally made up his mind, he slightly parted his lips, wanting to tell everyone everything he had heard and seen.
However, after he opened his mouth for a long time, the sound seemed to be stuck in his throat by an invisible hand. No matter how hard he tried, even when his face turned red, he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Kun Earth turned around, found paper and pen, and quickly walked to Xun Wind's side, handing them to him. Xun Wind quickly took the paper and pen, preparing to write.
However, as he made his first stroke, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his arm, and it began to tremble uncontrollably.
Xun Wind gritted his teeth, the muscles on his face contorting slightly from the effort, as he struggled to write each stroke. Each stroke seemed to require the utmost of his strength.
As he struggled to make the gestures, a trickle of blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the pristine white paper and spreading into glaring blood flowers.
Seeing this, Kan Water immediately reached out and used his spiritual power to heal him. However, strangely, Xun Wind showed no signs of improvement, and Kan Water encountered the same situation.
Blood was also seeping from the corner of Kan Water's mouth. He stared at his hand in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
"Xun Wind, stop..." Kan Water said weakly, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he tried to stop him.
Seeing this, Fan Daoyi reached out and grabbed the top of the pen, stopping Xun Wind's writing. Xun Wind's movements were stiff; his hand remained firmly gripping the pen, not loosening its grip even slightly.
"No..." Xun Wind said with difficulty, his voice hoarse but firm, "I don't want that kind of future to come true!"
After saying that, he drew several more lines on the paper, his movements carrying a hint of determination.
The pen tip was pressed too hard, piercing the paper. Even so, with all these obstacles, Xun Wind's body had reached its limit, and he could only manage to write two words.
Five Three.
Li Fire reacted swiftly, quickly placing his hand on the table so that Xun Wind's head, drooping from exhaustion, wouldn't hit the table hard. Everyone gathered around him, their faces full of worry, while Kan Water raised his hand to continue the treatment.
Qian Heaven stared intently at Xun Wind, his eyes filled with concern, and asked, "Is something the matter?"
Kan Water stopped the blood flowing from Xun Wind's seven orifices, manipulated the water to clean the blood off his body, and then gently opened his sleeping eyelids to check on him.
After a moment, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's alright. It must be the rules of the world that are preventing him. As long as he doesn't leak the secret, he'll be fine."
"The rules of the world... There are many futures that can be changed by Intuition, so why is this being stopped this time..." Gen Mountain said in a low voice, his words filled with worry for Xun Wind, his brows furrowed.
Upon hearing this, Kun Earth fell into deep thought for a moment. She analyzed, "Perhaps there is only one path forward, and it cannot be changed."
"Five Three..." He Piaojian stared at those two words, a few unpleasant thoughts inexplicably flooding his mind. He shook his head violently, trying to shake these thoughts off, and asked with a puzzled look, "What exactly do those two words mean?"
"Five Disadvantages and Three Deficiencies." Fan Daoyi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice low and calm. His gaze was as still as water as he slowly revealed his conjecture.
Before anyone could say anything more, Fan Daoyi noticed a transparent thread wrapped around their wrists.
Something has happened in Azure Cloud City, come quickly.
They received the message together, their expressions grave.
"Kan Water, you and Feiyin stay here and take care of Xun Wind." Qian Heaven quickly realized what was going on and began to assign tasks methodically. He turned to Dao Yi and nodded, "Thank you for your help."
Upon hearing this, Kan Water immediately manipulated the water element, creating a water-like being identical to himself amidst the gurgling sound of flowing water, and asked Dao Yi, "Dao Yi, can you Teleportation with the element?"
Fan Daoyi stared at the water figure for a long time before nodding.
"Healers are rare to begin with, so please be extra careful on this trip."
He Piaojian smiled and said with a hint of nonchalance and confidence, "Don't worry, I want to try out my new ability at the Governance Realm."
Feiyin, her face also full of concern, stepped forward and instructed, "Come back safely."
His gaze fell on Zhen Thunder, his expression gentle. "Be careful."
Fan Daoyi didn't say much, but simply snapped his fingers lightly, the crisp sound echoing in the air. Everyone only felt a flash of light before their eyes, and in a daze, they had already arrived in Azure Cloud City.
Looking up, one sees a black hole, and beside it is a crimson entrance to the Guixu.
A flower blooms from the mouth, and as the vibrant flower blossoms, the seeds seeking a host also emerge one after another from the body.
The puppets of the Four Fiends Cult were contorted, their minds consumed by flowers. Crimson evil energy shot into the sky, pulling at the black hole and helping it expand.
The main combat personnel of [Twelve Hours] and [Twenty-Eight Mansions] have all arrived. They lead their troops in formation, solemnly facing the black hole in the sky.
"The number of black holes seems to differ from what Xun Wind Intuition." Chen Dragon frowned slightly and looked at Azure Dragon, whose expression was cold and stern.
A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. Based on Xun Wind's Intuition, there should have been more than just this one black hole.
There's only one black hole right now. Although they're guarding the entrance and killing any that come out, it seems unlikely that there will be a widespread Insect Disaster infestation.
But the sudden difference from his Intuition made Chen Dragon feel vaguely uneasy.
Azure Dragon's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "We cannot let our guard down. Have we captured those cult members of the Four Fiends Cult?"
"Yes, just barely clinging to life." Chen Dragon nodded slightly, his tone tinged with weariness and worry. "The strange flower's life-draining rate is still increasing; it can probably only sustain this for less than ten more minutes."
Everyone understood that if the lives of these controlled cult members were in danger, the situation would become even more difficult to control.
"Something's not right..." Azure Dragon murmured.
As expected, after Azure Dragon uttered these words, the sky changed again. The previously calm sky suddenly began to ripple.
A humanoid creature, half bone and half flesh, appeared in the air, with a black Scales perched on its head and holding a gilded scale in its hand.
With a disdainful look, he met Fan Daoyi's gaze below, then smiled and picked up the chips on the Scales side.
The Scales's center of gravity is starting to tilt to the right!
