120: You must wait for me to come back

Chapter 120: You Must Wait for Me to Return

"Pei Xuanji!"

Looking at the limp, hanging jade-like hand, Li Yunshu completely panicked.

He grasped the jade-like hand, and it was scorching hot to the touch.

This place was a world of li fire, and the Empress specialized in ice-element Cultivation Techniques, so this place inherently suppressed her.

With her cultivation suppressed and no Cold Bright Jade to protect her, the Empress was constantly enduring the scorching heat of the li fire.

He placed her hand against his cheek, and a tear slipped down.

However, when his thumb touched the Empress's Meridians, he was startled.

The Empress was not dead yet; although her pulse was weak, she still had a breath remaining.

However, if this continued, the Empress would not last much longer.

He cried tears of joy, as if his most precious possession had been lost and found again.

"I... I'm almost at my limit."

Just then, the White-robed Yin Spirit, who had been standing beside him, spoke for the first time.

The li fire here was also constantly burning the Yin spirit's body, and in this short time, this little Yin spirit was already about to collapse.

"Bear with it a little longer."

Saying this, Li Yunshu immediately carried the Empress into the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit's space.

At this time, the battle inside had also entered its final stages.

The Blue-robed Woman's arms hung limply, clearly already crippled.

Thump.

The previous struggle had consumed too much demonic energy; she didn't even have the strength to stand and directly collapsed onto the ground.

After Chen Hong found the Cold Bright Jade, she walked up to Li Yunshu.

"Is this it?"

Li Yunshu looked at the unconscious Empress in his arms; he didn't know if this was the item.

In fact, rather than whether this was Cold Bright Jade, he was more concerned about whether this space was affected by the Secret Realm outside.

Although the Empress's cultivation was still suppressed, there was no power for his Dantian to absorb here.

"Where's Jiang Wenzheng?"

Since Chen Hong had reverted to being a Vengeful Spirit, he couldn't bear to leave such a helper in the capital.

He brought Chen Hong with him, and Jiang Wenzheng, not wanting to be separated from Chen Hong, could only stay in the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit's space.

This young couple had built a small courtyard in this space; although they couldn't contact the outside world for a long time, at least the lovers were finally together.

He followed the Empress to the Demon Realm, and this young couple also followed.

The recent battle did not affect that small courtyard; hearing his words, the courtyard door opened a crack, and a head peeked out.

Finding that the battle outside had stopped, he then walked out of the room.

"I'm here."

Seeing Jiang Wenzheng standing well in the courtyard, Li Shaoshang let out a long sigh of relief, meaning that this space had resisted the outside Law.

He looked at the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit, but the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit and Chen Hong's strength were both suppressed.

The only good news now was that although their Realm was still suppressed here, they were no longer affected by the li fire.

He let out a long breath, quickly landed in the small courtyard, and then went into the room to place the Empress on the bed.

Chen Hong also followed in, looking at the Empress on the bed.

"What exactly is going on?"

Good heavens, she hadn't been out for a long time, and the moment she came out again, the Empress was injured like this.

She also knew that they were currently in the Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm, the Empress was Li Yunshu's only reliance.

And Li Yunshu was her only reliance, so the Empress could not be in danger.

She could tell what would happen to a Vengeful Spirit if caught by a member of the Demon Race just by thinking about it.

What's more, her Jiang Lang was here.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact; if the Empress had any mishap, none of them would have a good end.

Li Yunshu had no time to explain; although this space was not affected by the li fire, the Empress's body was too severely injured and had not yet escaped danger.

Moreover, he couldn't extinguish that li fire with demonic energy at all; to save the Empress, he could only figure out this Secret Realm.

"You watch over her here; if anyone enters this place later, kill them all."

After speaking, he quickly walked out of the room.

However, he stopped at the doorway again.

He turned back and took off the storage ring from the Empress's finger.

"You must wait for me to return."

Leaving the small courtyard, he picked up the Blue-robed Woman and left this space.

Putting the White-robed Yin Spirit into the Soul Banner, Li Yunshu played with the piece of white jade that emanated a chilling aura.

Even if he had never seen Cold Bright Jade, from the characteristics of the jade in his hand, it was almost certainly it.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on with this Secret Realm?"

Having lost the Cold Bright Jade, the Blue-robed Woman was enduring the scorching heat of the li fire, and fine beads of sweat had already begun to appear on her forehead.

Her eyelids drooped slightly, and she was pondering how much hope she had left to live.

To be honest, she regretted it a bit; she should have immediately fled earlier instead of coveting the treasures on the Guardian.

Now, not only did she not get the treasures, but she also lost the chance to compete for the li fire flower.

"If I tell the truth, you have to let me go."

Crack.

Li Yunshu directly crushed the Cold Bright Jade, cutting off all the little schemes of the person in front of him.

"You should have felt it; that space just now was not affected by the li fire. If you tell the truth, I can put you in that space; otherwise—"

His voice became somewhat cold.

"I think your Senior Sisters will eventually tell me what I want to know."

After saying this, he didn't hesitate at all, turning around and leaving.

His feet tapped, and he soared into the air, his figure hidden by the vast maple forest.

The Blue-robed Woman on the ground instantly panicked and shouted loudly.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

Rustle.

The maple leaves swayed gently, and Li Yunshu descended; he was not in a hurry at all, because the other party was more anxious than him.

Enduring the scorching heat of the li fire, the Blue-robed Woman spilled the beans, revealing all the secrets of the Secret Realm in one go.

Li Yunshu nodded, roughly understanding the calculations of these people.

When the Empress and he proposed entering this Secret Realm, they had already stepped into a trap.

Moreover, they had actively wanted to come in, so the Empress had not been overly suspicious.

In fact, if he and the Empress hadn't entered this place, these six, no, seven people if Tao Yu was included, might have fought fiercely for the li fire flower and worry-relieving grass.

But now, his and the Empress's appearance had instead made the six members of the Mochazong Sect united against a common enemy.

"How can one recover from being struck by li fire?"

The Blue-robed Woman hesitated for a moment but still quickly said,

"It's incurable within the Secret Realm, but outside the Secret Realm, with that person's own cultivation, perhaps the li fire can be extinguished."

She didn't explicitly state the rest; whether that Guardian could hold on until they left the Secret Realm was something she had no way of knowing.

"How do we leave here?"

"Only when the li fire flower blooms will the exit of this Secret Realm appear."

"What!" Li Yunshu took a step forward, "When will the li fire flower bloom?"

He only cared about the Empress now and didn't care about any li fire flower.

If they had to wait for the li fire flower to bloom to leave, what if it took three to five days or even longer? Could the Empress endure it?

"Probably... probably within the next few days."

The Blue-robed Woman lacked some confidence; they only estimated that the li fire flower would bloom soon, but no one could calculate the exact time.

Seeing that the woman in front of him no longer had any use, a hint of killing intent flashed in Li Yunshu's eyes.
