"The Young Master's in bad shape. What should we do?"
Jiu Lan withdrew her gaze and asked.
Green Yaxin had to keep Xiao Wu suppressed and could not intervene in Qian Renyue's condition at all. She shook her head. "There's nothing we can do. Even the Nine Pity Sword has been corrupted. It looks like this heart demon has been inside the Young Master for some time."
"Ugh-"
While Green Yaxin and Jiu Lan were talking, the Nine Pity Sword embedded in the ground began stirring restlessly, the black aura around its blade growing thicker and thicker. Qian Renyue suddenly dropped to her knees, a ring of black flames igniting around her. She clutched her head, seemingly struggling fiercely.
"Young Master!" Jiu Lan cried worriedly. "Yaxin, are you sure she'll be all right?"
She turned to look at Green Yaxin.
Green Yaxin fell silent for a moment. Jiu Lan did not know what she was hesitating over, but she felt certain that something terrible would happen if Qian Renyue went on like this. She could not let anything happen to Qian Renyue!
"Don't go!" Sensing that Jiu Lan was about to move, Green Yaxin immediately reached out to stop her. "You'll only get attacked for nothing! Neither of us is strong enough to stop this!"
"Then are we supposed to just stand here and watch?" Jiu Lan demanded, frantic.
Just then, countless streams of black aura suddenly erupted from Qian Renyue's body. Green Yaxin immediately formed a protective barrier around herself and Jiu Lan. The powerful impact made the barrier begin to crack slightly. Most of her soul power was being used to suppress Xiao Wu. If Qian Renyue went berserk now, things would take a turn for the worse.
The Green Vine restraining Xiao Wu slowly began to loosen.
