Saving Ning

True Lord Chi Sui activated the Edict he had left behind to guide Li Fuchan and Wei Xinyun away from the Blessed Land.

As a beam of light appeared, Wei Xinyun's figure materialized within the Grotto Heaven.

In a daze, she looked up and was met with the young True Lord, dressed in a tall crown and wide belt, his white robes as pure as snow Wei Xinyun's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly bowed and said, "Junior greets True Lord."

No need for such formalities.

True Lord Chi Sui's gaze swept around her, but Li Fuchan was nowhere to be seen. He asked, "Where is Li Fuchan?"

Having received permission from True Lord Chi Sui Wei Xinyun stood up. Hearing his question, her expression became quite complex. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "He... went to rescue someone."

Upon hearing True Lord Chi Sui's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

He naturally admired Li Fuchan's foundation of never Blood-Consuming Cultivation, but he also saw through him clearly: this person always acted for profit.

I thought he would at most save Wei Xinyun and that would be enough to fulfill his duty as a fellow disciple, but I never expected that he would turn back to save others.

Seeing that Wei Xinyun didn't know much either, he didn't ask any more questions and activated his Divine Ability. "Nightlight Mansion" spread out and instantly enveloped the entire Grotto Heaven.

He used his status as the master of the Grotto Heaven to look at the Blessed Land associated with the Grotto Heaven.

Then they saw Li Fuchan grabbing a young man by the back of his collar, half-dragging and half-lifting him to hold him in front of her. The young man's eyes were closed, and his face was ashen. He was the Third Disciple Pivot Court who had never shown himself before.

Li Fuchan's brow split open, revealing a vertical eye that shone with Silver-White Illuminating Light that shone directly onto Ning Xiu Cong's forehead.

At Ning Xiu Cong's brow, a ball of white light was moving under his skin, struggling left and right, but it could not break free from the lock of that silvery light.

"I only ask for a way to live."

Li Fuchan said coldly, "This road is blocked. Let's try another one."

Yu Gongtan's voice was no longer as composed as before, but rather tinged with urgency and resentment. "The Human Reversal has begun to decline. My grand plan to conquer the world has been abruptly interrupted by you. When the Human Reversal rises again, I fear I will find it difficult to manifest myself. Only by using this body can I survive. You have no deep-seated hatred for me, so why must you be so ruthless!"

Li Fuchan remained calm, a silvery light steadily enveloping Ning Xiu from the ball of light between his brows. He spoke unhurriedly, "This isn't your only path. Wouldn't it be better to seize the body of the Regent of Yu Kingdom?"

Yu Gongtan's remnant soul throbbed violently within the luminous mass, seemingly wanting to argue. Li Fuchan, however, didn't give him a chance to speak, "You merely want to use his identity to escape this Blessed Land. Do you think that with your meager skills, no one will be able to tell after you've possessed someone?"

Yu Gongtan silent for a long while, and when he spoke again, his voice was urgent as he pleaded, "Then please show me a way."

Li Fuchan looked down at the ball of light, his gaze calm, his tone devoid of any emotion. "Like the millions who died in this Blessed Land, being buried here is your best resting place. There are already enough people outside who Blood-Consuming Cultivation and eat people; there's really no need for another one like you."

Yu Gongtan finally understood.

This person had no intention of letting him go from beginning to end. His voice suddenly turned sharp and shrill, like a venomous resentment rising from Six Hundred Years of decay. "You say I Blood-Consuming Cultivation and eat people. But if I Blood-Consuming Cultivation and eat people, how can I escape from this absurd world? Didn't the person you fought and battled with also eat people? Didn't the sects of the cultivators who traveled with you also eat people? And you..."

He shouted sternly, "You keep talking about righteousness, but if you were in my desperate situation, if you were seriously injured, wouldn't you eat people?!"

He gritted his teeth. "I recognize you. You're just like me, selfish, treacherous, and despicable—no better. What right do you have to use righteousness to decide my life or death?"

Ning Xiu's brow trembled violently, the white light almost bursting through his skin. Li Fuchan's vertical eye between his brows suddenly brightened, its silvery-white light blazing brightly, firmly suppressing the struggling brow.

Why talk about the future?

"Since my birth, through my spiritual practice, I have faced death countless times."

"How could a frog like you, at the bottom of a well, possibly imagine my path?"

"For decades, I have never Blood-Consuming Cultivation or eaten people. No matter how selfish, cunning, or despicable I may be, I can still stand upright in this world."

"How can I not use the greater good to kill you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silvery-white light in his vertical eye between his brows was suddenly tinged with a layer of dark magic light. The two colors intertwined and transformed into a cold beam of light that pierced straight into the ball of light.

The lump of light trembled violently, letting out a resentful hiss, before shattering into countless tiny fragments of light that vanished completely amidst the interwoven beams of Silver-White and black light.

Li Fuchan's face suddenly turned pale. Looking at Ning Xiu Cong, who had collapsed unconscious in his arms, Li Fuchan couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air. "Finally, I've saved him once." He hadn't just abandoned Ning Xiu Cong; having saved him, he had to take him away from the Blessed Land.

He turned to look for Wei Shuo.

They eventually spotted him not far away, and with a swift movement, they took Ning Xiu Cong chase.

Wei Shuo he saw a Spell Light rushing towards him from afar, so he immediately rode the wind and rose up. He saw Li Fuchan stop steadily a few dozen steps away from him, her sleeves fluttering and her long sword held upside down.

He was carrying a young man on his back.

Wei Shuo's gaze sharpened, and he blurted out, "Ning Xiu Cong."

He looked at Li Fuchan and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you save him?"

Li Fuchan, however, did not want to answer him, but instead asked, "Why didn't you save him?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shuo was speechless for a moment.

Ning Xiu Cong and he both belonged to the Pivot Court, and from a moral standpoint, he did indeed have a duty to save Ning Xiu Cong.

Li Fuchan didn't want to say more to him, so she tossed Ning Xiu Cong to Wei Shuo. Wei Shuo didn't refuse and caught Ning Xiu Cong steadily. He then looked at Li Fuchan and said, "You're not a direct descendant of Azure Ram Temple Direct Lineage, but you seem quite similar in your ways."

"If you hadn't come looking for me, I wouldn't have thought about you. But now that you've appeared before me, I'm going to test whether you're truly a direct descendant of the Azure Ram Temple Direct Lineage." Li Fuchan's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. Since he dared to come to Wei Shuo, he naturally wouldn't put himself in a dangerous situation.

Wei Shuo that his cultivation level had recovered, and the aura of a direct descendant of the Purple Mansion Direct Lineage was fully revealed. Twelve Flying Sword jumped out from his sleeves at the same time, their killing intent chilling, and pointed at Li Fuchan.

Upon seeing this, Li Fuchan raised an eyebrow, held the [Ten-Thousand-Li Subduer] in his hand, and the "Wu-Gui Di-Yin Spell Light" poured out from between his eyebrows.

He blocked the twelve Flying Sword in an instant, and just as he was about to take another step forward, a voice rang out from the Unseen.

Upon hearing that voice, Li Fuchan immediately stopped her attack.

Seeing this golden opportunity, Wei Shuo was overjoyed, and his twelve Flying Sword pierced towards Li Fuchan without any hindrance.

At the brink of life and death.

Li Fuchan's figure suddenly disappeared.

The Grotto Heaven guides us.

At the same moment, all twelve Flying Sword that Wei Shuo aimed at Li Fuchan shattered.

Caught off guard, he suffered a severe blow in an instant, nearly dying.

Just then, a hand pressed on his shoulder, stabilizing his injury.

Wei Shuo his vital energy was weak, so he should perform the rites.

True Lord Changyin shook his head slightly, looking at the spot where Li Fuchan disappeared, and murmured, "Chi Sui, how long can you remain so domineering?"
