Chapter 92 A Sudden Turn of Events

Having resolved the demonic barrier before him, Yun Bai did not pause for a moment!

Like a crazed Vicious Beast, he rushed to the side door of the schoolhouse, which had been somewhat deformed by the explosion, and kicked it hard with his spiritual power infused into his foot!

Bang!

The wooden door shattered in response, and Yun Bai, carrying a thick, almost tangible aura of blood-evil and cold Killing Intent, rushed into the chaotic schoolhouse like a hurricane.

"Ah—!!"

"A monster! Another monster has come in!"

"Help!"

The students, already shaken and having just experienced a mental shock, saw a strange man with a malevolent aura, blood-red eyes, and the appearance of a god of slaughter break through the door; they were immediately frightened into a state of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, letting out even more terrified screams, and scrambled to shrink into the corners, thinking a more terrifying demonic creature had broken in.

Teacher Gao was also deeply shocked; suppressing his injuries, he immediately stood in front of the students, his spiritual power surging again, putting on a posture of fighting to the death, and shouted sternly: "Stop! Who are you?!"

"Brother Yun!!" Just then, Shen Qi's tearful, heartbreaking cry rang out.

She struggled to squeeze out of the panicked crowd, her small face covered in tear tracks and bloodstains, and pointed at Yun Qian's seat next to the classroom podium, her voice distorted by fear, "Qianqian... Qianqian is dying! Please, save her!"

Only then did Teacher Gao suddenly recognize that the person who had rushed in with such intense Killing Intent was actually Yun Qian's brother, the mysterious talent Yun Bai, who had risen to fame among the newly promoted Cultivators of the State Religion in Chu Prefecture!

"Quick! Go over!" Teacher Gao hurriedly stepped aside to clear the path, while waving his hand to signal the surrounding students to keep quiet, "Everyone, don't be afraid! It's Yun Qian's brother! He's here to save us!"

Yun Bai had no time to pay attention to the surrounding gazes and sounds; his heart was already in his throat, as if it were about to jump out.

He rushed to his sister's seat in a few steps, and the sight before him made his blood almost freeze instantly.

He saw Yun Qian's small body slumped helplessly in her seat, her face pale without a trace of color, like the most fragile and breakable porcelain.

Her whole body was trembling violently and uncontrollably, her slender fingers clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, her knuckles white from the force.

What was most shocking was—bright red blood was constantly seeping out slowly from her mouth, nose, corners of her eyes, and ears! It stained half of her cheek red, soaked through the collar of her clothes on her chest, and even pooled into a small, glaring puddle of blood on the floor beneath her.

"Qianqian!" Yun Bai let out a low growl like an injured beast, his voice hoarse and distorted.

He reached out with trembling hands, his fingertips infused with spiritual power, and carefully checked his sister's breath—it was so faint he could barely feel it! He then quickly placed his hand on her slender wrist—her pulse was weak, chaotic, and intermittent.

[Warning! Target detected: Yun Qian. Vital signs are extremely weak! Large-scale structural collapse occurring within the Sea of Consciousness! The spiritual core has suffered an unknown high-intensity spiritual contamination shock and is on the verge of annihilation! Estimated effective survival time: no more than twelve standard hours.]

The cold notification sound of the System, Xiaoliu, rang in Yun Bai's mind, and every word was like a red-hot steel awl, ruthlessly chiseling into the depths of his Soul.

"No... impossible... this can't be..." Yun Bai's face instantly turned as pale as his sister's, his lips trembling, and immense panic and despair submerged him completely like a cold tide.

He almost instinctively released his Divine Sense, like the gentlest warm current, wanting to probe into his sister's chaotic Sea of Consciousness, attempting to soothe the violent spiritual storm.

However, the Divine Sense soothing that had always been effective for his sister was now like a clay ox entering the sea! His sister's Sea of Consciousness seemed to have turned into a violent vortex filled with destructive energy; the moment his Divine Sense made contact, it was ruthlessly torn apart and repelled, with minimal effect.

Looking at his sister's lifeless, blood-seeping little face, and feeling her life breath that was as weak as a candle in the wind, Yun Bai's heart felt as if it had been grabbed and crushed by an invisible hand!

Boundless regret gnawed at his heart like a poisonous snake—why hadn't he come to pick her up earlier?! Why wasn't his cultivation stronger?! Why hadn't he been able to protect her?!

"Qianqian! Don't be afraid! Brother is here! Brother is taking you to get treated right now! We are going to find Great Master Jiang! Hold on!" Yun Bai's voice was tearful; he carefully, as if holding the most precious and fragile item in the world, lifted his sister's cold and light body into his arms.

The weight in his arms was so light it broke his heart, yet it felt heavy enough to crush his entire world.

He wished he could tear through space instantly, wished he could sprout wings! Every second that passed felt like a slow slicing of his heart! Holding his sister, he smashed through the tables and chairs blocking his way, and like a bolt of desperate lightning, rushed out of the schoolhouse again!

"Great Master Jiang! Great Master Jiang!! Help—!! Please, save Qianqian!!"

Yun Bai, holding the dying Yun Qian, whose orifices were still slowly seeping blood, rushed to the closed gate of the Jiang family residence like a madman.

He slammed his shoulder hard against the door panel, his hoarse roar completely distorted by extreme fear and despair, sounding exceptionally shrill in the silent alley.

The courtyard gate opened with a creak.

Jiang Shuanger hurriedly poked her head out; seeing Yun Bai in such a disheveled and frantic state, her brows instinctively furrowed, carrying a trace of annoyance and reproach at being disturbed: "Yun Bai? Are you crazy? Why are you being so loud?! My father is in the Alchemy room, focusing his mind and adjusting his state, preparing to open the furnace tomorrow to refine the soul-stabilizing pill for you! You..."

Her reproachful words came to an abrupt halt.

When her gaze fell upon the small figure in Yun Bai's arms, half of whose body was stained red with blood and whose breath was so weak it had almost vanished, the expression on Jiang Shuanger's face froze instantly, then turned into extreme shock and bewilderment!

She covered her mouth, her eyes wide, and her voice changed pitch: "Qian... Qianqian?! What... what happened to her?! What happened?!"

"Don't ask! Quick! Call your father! Hurry—!!" Yun Bai's eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped beast on the verge of death, and he roared hoarsely, the veins on his arms holding his sister bulging from the force.

Immense fear instantly gripped Jiang Shuanger! She finally snapped out of it, no longer caring about etiquette or manners, and turned to run towards the inner courtyard with all her might, her tearful screams echoing throughout the residence: "Dad—! Dad—!! Come out quickly! Something terrible has happened! Qianqian... Qianqian is dying! Help—!!"

Rapid footsteps and fluctuations of spiritual power came from the inner courtyard.

Soon, the figure of Great Master Jiang appeared in the front courtyard as if teleporting.

He hadn't even had time to fasten his green Daoist robe, and his face bore the gravity of having his meditation interrupted. When his gaze fell upon the small, blood-stained figure in Yun Bai's arms, this Alchemy Great Master, who had seen much life and death, also had his expression change drastically in an instant!
