Yunxi worked hard to calm the surging blood and qi within her. With a sweep of her divine sense, she knew that cracks had appeared in her Meridians again. She said to Venerable Yuling,
"Master, that Evil Soul's Nascent Soul self-destruction shattered my 'Wind Snow Domain.' I... I suffered a backlash."
As soon as she finished speaking, blood seeped from the corner of her lips again. She could only barely keep herself standing, and even her voice lacked strength.
Yuling's already cold expression turned two shades colder. His gaze swept over Hao Song, making Hao Song's face stiffen. He immediately cupped his hands and said,
"Venerable Yuling, I mishandled this matter. I am willing to accept punishment."
There was no expression on Yuling's stern face. He merely nodded and said,
"You handle the remaining matters. I will take Yunxi back to treat her injuries first. Fellow Daoist Xun Kun, come with me to Lingxue Peak."
"Yes."
This time, both of them answered swiftly.
Yuling then swept up the unsteady Yunxi and Xun Kun and departed from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Only after they had left did Hao Song straighten up and wipe away the nonexistent cold sweat from his brow. He could tell that Yunxi's injuries had made Venerable Yuling very displeased. He also blamed himself for being careless. He had never expected that, with three Nascent Soul cultivators present, the evil cultivator's Nascent Soul would actually self-destruct without regard for anything, clearly intending to drag all three of them down with him.
At that moment, three streaks of Escape Light descended before the Law Enforcement Hall. Once they revealed themselves, someone immediately asked,
"Senior Brother Hao Song, what happened?"
"Senior Brother Hao Song, I have sealed off Law Enforcement Peak and the nearby peaks, and temporarily closed the dungeon."
