Save lives
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.
"Moon Spirit Junior Sister!" A clear voice came. "Senior Brother Liu Qisheng has arrived!"
A Qingxin Sect True Disciple wearing a green robe was seen walking quickly, his expression serious.
Behind him followed a tall and imposing young man, who was precisely Liu Qisheng.
Liu Qisheng slowly stepped forward, a faint aura of Spirit Energy swirling around him, his every move exuding the demeanor of a Cultivator.
His gaze was like a torch, scanning the surroundings, finally landing on Moon Spirit.
"Moon Spirit Junior Sister, long time no see." Liu Qisheng nodded slightly, his voice low and powerful.
A wave of joy rose in Moon Spirit's heart, and her eyes involuntarily glanced behind Liu Qisheng. "Has Brother Xiao Feng arrived too?"
Her tone was full of anticipation, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
However, when she saw that there was no one behind Liu Qisheng, the smile on her Face instantly froze.
Liu Qisheng shook his head and said apologetically, "Apologies, Xiao Feng is still dealing with some urgent matters and cannot get away for now."
Upon hearing this news, a hint of disappointment flashed across Moon Spirit's Face, but she quickly regained her composure.
She lightly sighed, secretly wondering in her heart, "Brother Xiao Feng, what exactly are you busy with?"
Just then, the Rotten Wood Staff suddenly let out a meaningful bitter laugh. "It seems the good days are over."
This sentence caused both Moon Spirit and Liu Qisheng to cast puzzled glances at it.
For the Rotten Wood Staff, as a Magical Artifact, to be able to display such human-like emotions was truly surprising.
Moon Spirit snapped back to attention and said to Liu Qisheng, "Senior Brother, please wait a moment. I'll go freshen up and be back soon."
After speaking, she quickly returned to her room.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Moon Spirit carefully combed her long hair and gently patted her cheeks.
She thought to herself, "Although Brother Xiao Feng didn't come, I should at least let Senior Brother Liu Qisheng see me at my best."
After a moment, Moon Spirit changed into a light cyan long dress, her hair styled in a high bun, looking fresh and ethereal.
Just as she reached the entrance of the Great Hall, Moon Spirit heard Liu Qisheng's anxious voice. "Elder Liu, Zhao Yuwei's situation is critical. Please lend your hand to save her!"
Moon Spirit quickly entered the Great Hall, only to see Liu Qisheng standing before her Wu Yang's Father Liu Heguang, his expression earnest. Liu Heguang's brows were tightly furrowed, seemingly hesitant about something.
Just then, Moon Spirit's gaze was attracted by an ice coffin in the center of the Great Hall.
Through the crystal-clear ice layer, she saw a woman of unparalleled beauty lying quietly within.
The woman's skin was like jade, her features exquisite, exuding astonishing charm even in an unconscious state.
"Is this Zhao Yuwei?" Moon Spirit couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly a peerless beauty!"
Coming back to her senses, Moon Spirit quickly stepped forward, tugged at her Wu Yang's Father's sleeve, and said softly, "Father, please save her. Although you and Brother Xiao Feng have some misunderstandings, Sister Zhao is innocent."
Liu Heguang showed a hesitant expression, his gaze shifting back and forth between the ice coffin and his daughter.
He pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll give it a try."
Seeing her Wu Yang's Father relent, a wave of joy rose in Moon Spirit's heart.
She knew that although her Wu Yang's Father had some prejudice against Xiao Feng, he ultimately couldn't resist her persistent pleading.
Liu Heguang slowly walked towards the ice coffin, forming hand Seals, and a powerful Spirit Energy began to gather around him.
At this critical moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the Elder who was about to perform the healing technique.
Liu Heguang formed hand Seals, and a powerful Spirit Energy gathered around him.
As his hand gestures changed, streams of golden light shot out from his palms, intertwining around the ice coffin like threads.
The surface of the ice coffin began to ripple, as if it were about to melt.
Suddenly, a crisp "crack" sound rang out, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ice coffin.
With a "boom", the ice coffin completely shattered, turning into countless crystal shards that scattered in all directions.
A powerful wave of Spirit Energy erupted from Zhao Yuwei, causing the entire Great Hall to tremble.
Liu Heguang's expression was solemn, his hands quickly forming incantations, and golden runes flashed in the air, enveloping Zhao Yuwei like a large net.
The violent Spirit Energy fluctuations gradually subsided, eventually turning into specks of starlight that dissipated into the air.
"Hoo—" Liu Heguang let out a long breath, his forehead already covered in sweat.
He turned to Liu Qisheng and said, "The sealing power has been broken, but the Spirit Energy within her body is still very chaotic and needs time to slowly recover."
Liu Qisheng was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "Many thanks to Elder Liu for saving her! May I ask when Senior Sister Zhao will wake up?"
Liu Heguang shook his head. "That's hard to say; it depends on her own recovery speed. However, I do have a method that can speed up this process."
He pointed to the Rotten Wood Staff nearby and explained, "This Rotten Wood Staff is a peculiar Magical Artifact. It can absorb and purify various Spirit Energy. If we let it absorb some of the chaotic Spirit Energy within Zhao Yuwei's body every day, it should speed up her recovery."
Moon Spirit's eyes lit up, and she immediately communicated with the Rotten Wood Staff using her Divine Sense. "Senior Rotten Wood, are you willing to help with this? If you are willing to assist, I will definitely ask my Wu Yang's Father to find excellent spiritual wood for you to restore your vitality."
The Rotten Wood Staff was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Alright, for your sake, I'll give it a try."
Saying this, the Rotten Wood Staff flew to Zhao Yuwei's side, and a faint light shot out from the staff, enveloping Zhao Yuwei.
However, after only a few breaths, the Rotten Wood Staff stopped.
"No, this girl's Spirit Energy is too powerful. I feel myself getting weaker and weaker." The Rotten Wood Staff's voice carried a hint of weakness and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qisheng quickly stepped forward to comfort it. "Senior Rotten Wood, there's no need to force yourself. This is just temporary. We can let you absorb for a short while every day. This way, it won't harm your Origin and can also help Senior Sister Zhao recover."
He turned to Moon Spirit and said softly, "Moon Spirit Junior Sister, could I trouble you to take Senior Sister Zhao to a quiet room to rest? The Rotten Wood Staff needs to absorb some of the sealing power every day, so we need to arrange it properly."
Moon Spirit nodded in agreement. "No problem, I'll go arrange it now."
After Moon Spirit left with Zhao Yuwei, Liu Qisheng's gaze followed their retreating figures, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
He slightly narrowed his eyes, the corner of his mouth curving into a faint smile.
"It seems with Zhao Yuwei as a backing, Moon Spirit Junior Sister's days in the Qingxin Sect will be better. That bastard Xiao Feng probably won't dare to bully her casually anymore."
Liu Qisheng secretly mused in his heart.
As if sensing Liu Qisheng's gaze, Moon Spirit looked back.
When her eyes met Liu Qisheng's, her cheeks instantly flushed with a hint of red.
She lowered her head in a fluster and quickened her steps as she left.
Liu Fangyi watched this scene, lightly coughed, and interrupted Liu Qisheng's thoughts.
