Chapter 157 Release Him, Or Die!
Hurting someone from afar?
Nalan Susu was utterly shocked! And it was caused by those two seniors of unfathomable realm.
Fortunately, she had not stepped in to stop them, Nalan Susu thought to herself. Had she intervened, she likely would have ended up like the other elders of the Azure Cloud Sect—buried alive in the ground, completely losing all her dignity.
As the strongest cultivator of the Azure Cloud Sect, if even she were to be buried, it would not just be Nalan Susu losing face; it would be a disgrace to the entire Azure Cloud Sect.
Once word of this spread, her Azure Cloud Sect would have absolutely no face left in the world, and might even become a laughingstock!
Seeing that the young girl in white had already entered the courtyard, for some reason, Nalan Susu felt an odd sensation in her heart.
Without a second thought, she quickly flew toward the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard!
The young girl in white stood quietly at the doorway of the house, gazing at Ye Wuya, who lay unconscious on the bed.
Her very first encounter with Ye Wuya had been on that tranquil night!
She had knocked him unconscious and buried him!
Everything had felt so natural...
And now, upon their second meeting, one stood at the threshold looking on, while the other lay unconscious on the bed.
She did not even know who she was; she only knew she was searching for someone, waiting for someone. How long had she been waiting? Ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years?
No!
She could no longer remember how many years she had waited. She was like a solitary wandering ghost, drifting aimlessly wherever the wind took her.
Through wind and rain, she had walked on and on in her bewilderment...
From the era when dragons and phoenixes roamed the earth, all the way to the present day when true dragons were completely extinct!
It was only after she consumed the Immortal Memory Grass half a month ago that she finally recalled a single name!
Ye Wuya!
Filled with hope, she had believed that once she found Ye Wuya, she would finally know who she was, where she came from, and where she was headed.
Yet when she witnessed this scene before her, an inexplicable irritation welled up in her heart, hovering faintly on the verge of eruption.
"Who injured him like this?" the veiled girl in white asked coldly. Her voice was crisp, but the invisible intent to kill made Nalan Susu's hair stand on end!
Nalan Susu was certain that apart from Ye Wuya and the young girl before her, there was no one else here. This question was directed at her—no, it was an interrogation!
When the veiled girl in white uttered those words, the spiritual energy within Nalan Susu's body inexplicably began to burn, slowly dissipating into nothingness.
"I only know he did it to himself; I don't know the reason," Nalan Susu said hastily, her aura thoroughly chaotic. With only her and this young girl present, it did not take a genius to know the girl was responsible. Fine beads of cold sweat covered her forehead.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her spiritual energy gradually stabilize.
Panting heavily and gazing at the girl with lingering terror and shock, she retreated rapidly until she was four or five meters away before finally stopping.
Without asking any further questions, the girl walked inside and closed the door behind her!
Nalan Susu stared in terror at the shut door. This young girl was even more terrifying than Jiang Xiaoxiao!
With a single sentence, she had ignited Nalan Susu's spiritual energy and pinned her in place, rendering her as immobile as if struck by a binding spell.
She possessed zero capability to resist!
Against Jiang Xiaoxiao, she could at least put up a brief fight.
What kind of people were these? Nalan Susu wondered inwardly, feeling entirely lost. Ever since Ye Wuya's arrival, her Azure Cloud Sect had been reduced to the status of ants on the ground, at the mercy of anyone who wished to squash them!
"Sigh!" With a heavy sigh, she cast one last look at the tightly closed door. She knew well enough that she and Ye Wuya were simply people from completely different worlds.
Turning around, she walked away. Since the girl harbored no hostility toward Ye Wuya, she no longer had anything to worry about.
Inside the house!
The veiled girl in white sat down by the edge of Ye Wuya's bed, gently placing her fingers on his wrist. After a moment, she withdrew her hand.
His soul was exceptionally weak, his meridians were entirely severed, and his dantian was completely destroyed—this was the conclusion drawn by the veiled girl in white!
It was safe to say that Ye Wuya was now reduced to nothing more than a cripple.
The veiled girl in white lifted Ye Wuya up and slowly stripped away his garments.
When she saw that his entire body was covered in ghastly, horrifying scars, she froze once again!
With a slight hook of her hand toward the void!
Ye Wuya's entire body slowly floated into the air. With a beckoning gesture of her other hand, seven rare and miraculous herbs materialized, radiating terrifying waves of energy.
Among them, the alluringly bright red flower was none other than the Immortal Memory Grass she had once consumed!
Of all the herbs, the Immortal Memory Grass struggled the fiercest!
"What do you want to do? Let me go!" the Immortal Memory Grass actually spoke in human words, roaring in panic.
The veiled girl in white remained unmoved, as if she heard nothing at all. With a firm squeeze, she erased the spiritual consciousness of the Immortal Memory Grass. The herb instantly stopped thrashing and fell still.
Immediately afterward, a flame of nine colors appeared around the Immortal Memory Grass, enveloping it entirely.
In less than a moment, the Immortal Memory Grass melted into a pool of translucent red liquid.
The nine-colored flame then split into six parts, surging toward the other six rare herbs respectively.
Before long, all seven miraculous herbs had been transformed into liquids of six different colors!
The six pools of liquid emitted such terrifying auras that the very space within the room began to distort.
Following that, the girl made a grasping motion toward the seven streams of spiritual liquid, attempting to fuse them all together!
Yet the seven streams of liquid acted like layers of oil and water, mutually repelling one another, refusing to blend.
Seeing this, the girl produced a silver needle and pricked her own finger.
"Boom!"
The sky above Yandi suddenly darkened in an instant, and violent bolts of lightning churned within the heavy black clouds!
A single drop of golden blood emerged, and the girl channeled its volatile energy straight up into the heavens!
The sky shattered into pieces, unable to calm down for a long time. Millions of pairs of eyes near the Azure Cloud Sect stared in absolute shock at the miraculous phenomenon unfolding over the sect!
As the blood of the veiled girl in white appeared, the seven streams of spiritual liquid instantly quieted down, slowly drifting toward that single drop of blood and merging into it!
Seeing that all seven streams of liquid had successfully integrated into her blood, the veiled girl in white rapidly formed hand seals, weaving strands of runes into the sphere of blood.
The sphere of blood grew blindingly bright, radiating dazzling, multicolored light.
The girl quickly laid down a restrictive array around the room to prevent any leakage of energy from destroying the mountain peak.
She continued to channel various magical incantations and dazzling patterns into the blood sphere.
After lasting for a full minute or so, the girl finally stopped!
A red medicinal pill now rested in the palm of her hand!
The girl pried open Ye Wuya's mouth and made him swallow it.
Then, she produced a handful of silver needles, rapidly piercing them into Ye Wuya's body.
In no time at all, Ye Wuya's entire body was covered in silver needles, making him look just like a human hedgehog.
The medicinal pill transformed into a tremendously powerful force that exploded within Ye Wuya's body, causing a thin film of blood to seep from his pores! Fortunately, those silver needles successfully sealed and contained that immense power!
"Release him, or else—"
"You die!"
