Chapter 605

"Chief!"

Xiao exclaimed, quickly stepping forward, carefully supporting Zhongli.

But Zhongli frowned tightly, his face pale, clearly in a near-death state.

At this time, everyone else had already arrived.

Seeing the situation clearly, they were shocked.

"Miko, what's the situation?"

Venti looked at Zhongli with some worry and asked.

"I don't know either. I was just taking Ei and the others on a tour, and just as we walked here, Chief Zhongli was thrown out by the Demon-Locking Tower."

Alice remained silent, observed for a moment, turned her head, and said in a deep voice:

"Mind damaged, meridians broken, soul also torn apart, blood almost drained, and the worst thing is that his sea of consciousness has also been shattered a bit."

Cloud Retainer said urgently:

"So, Elder Alice, what's the situation?"

"Simply put, he's dying."

Alice said heavily.

Everyone panicked, looking at Zhongli, whose breathing was becoming weaker and weaker in Xiao's arms.

Ei and others were also at a loss.

How did the invincible Martial God of Teyvat become in a near-death state now?

Demon-Locking Tower, what happened?

"What to do? Elder Alice, can he be saved?"

Venti said anxiously. Seeing that everyone was about to see good days, suddenly Zhongli became like this.

Although he often caused trouble for Zhongli on weekdays, Zhongli was also his best friend.

Alice shook her head and said in a low voice:

"If the Sect Master were here, perhaps it would be possible... but..."

"We don't have such pills for damage to the sea of consciousness and soul."

Xiao's eyes were red.

"Are we just going to watch the Chief..."

Ganyu pondered for a while and suddenly said urgently:

"I have it! I have a bottle of pills the Sect Master left before he left, saying that if someone is injured, they can use this."

"Ganyu, quick! Zhongli is not going to make it."

Alice hurriedly urged Ganyu.

Ganyu gritted her teeth. She didn't know the specific effect of the pill, but at this moment, she could only treat a dead horse as a living horse.

Pouring out a pill, the refreshing fragrance made everyone feel refreshed.

Xiao took the pill and hurriedly fed it to Zhongli.

A stream of light flashed, and Zhongli's figure seemed to become transparent.

Everyone saw clearly that the pill melted upon entering the mouth, becoming a murmuring, glowing stream, wandering on Zhongli's body.

The broken meridians were forcibly straightened and repaired, and the soul and sea of consciousness were also slowly recovering under Alice's perception.

Everyone stared nervously, not knowing how long it had been, before Zhongli's aura slowly recovered a bit.

"This seems to be... Nine-Spirit Golden Pill! It's a recovery pill used by cultivators at the Refining Spirit into Void stage!"

Bai Zhu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

"Then Chief Zhongli he..."

Xiao looked at Bai Zhu expectantly, and the latter nodded.

"It should be fine. If it's the Nine-Spirit Golden Pill, although it can't make him recover immediately, it can repair the injuries to his body and soul."

"Afterward, just adjust and recuperate on his own."

Only then did Xiao breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Ganyu.

The situation happened too suddenly, and Ei and others were still dazed.

They only knew that Zhongli was dying for no reason, and then Ganyu took another pill...

They really couldn't understand the situation in the cultivation world.

"Cough cough..."

A cough made everyone hurriedly pay attention to Zhongli, who opened his eyes weakly.

Seeing Xiao after the first time, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice:

"It seems I'm still alive..."

"Chief Zhongli! It's great that you're okay."

Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly said:

"It was Ganyu who used the pill left by the Sect Master to save you."

"Is that so... thank you."

Zhongli tried his best to stand up. The meridians were still being repaired, and that kind of pain made Zhongli couldn't help but frown.

"Chief Zhongli, what happened in the Demon-Locking Tower? Didn't you go to break through? Why did you become like this?"

Furina looked at Zhongli with some worry.

Now, he was out, but Jiang Yan was still inside.

Zhongli didn't rush to answer, just looked up at the real sun, with some relief in his eyes.

"One day in Shushan, one year in the tower..."

"I went in this time... it's been almost three years, I guess. The power of time is truly terrifying."

Everyone didn't interrupt Zhongli, waiting quietly for the latter to continue.

Venti walked behind him, gently channeled True Qi into his body, helping him recover from his injuries.

Zhongli nodded at him and spoke slowly:

"I entered the Demon-Locking Tower with the Sect Master. A few months later, we arrived at the fourth floor, and after that, the Sect Master separated from me."

"And I, explored the fourth floor alone."

"About a year later, I arrived at the fifth floor, encountered a monster at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, and after a battle, successfully broke through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"I wanted to return immediately, but considering that I still needed to stabilize my realm and hone my spells, I stayed behind."

"Even, after there were no opponents on the fifth floor, I climbed to the sixth floor."

"But I didn't expect..."

A coldness flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and his whole aura became explosive.

"After climbing to the sixth floor, not long after, I met a young man who looked harmless."

"He claimed to have accidentally fallen into the Demon-Locking Tower and was originally a Shushan person, but later, by mistake, was trapped in it."

"I observed that he indeed used the sword-flying technique well, had a Shushan disciple token, and his strength was only at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"I figured nothing would happen, or perhaps he used some strange means on me, so I agreed to travel together."

"After traveling together for a few months, he took advantage of one day when I let down my guard and poisoned me, making my True Qi unable to recover."

"At that time, I knew that he was a demon cultivator who had infiltrated Shushan and was imprisoned in the Demon-Locking Tower by Shushan."

"And he himself was also at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

Zhongli clenched his fists tightly and said coldly:

"He intended to use my life essence as a guide to forcibly break through the seal of the Demon-Locking Tower and break through his realm."

"He wanted to refine my life into medicine to take."

"My True Qi couldn't be mobilized, and I was forcibly bled by him for three months..."

"My soul and sea of consciousness were also eroded."

"If it weren't for the final moment, an existence at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit came to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid I would have..."

"But because of this, in the battle, I was affected, and all my meridians were broken."

Speaking of these things, Zhongli's hatred spread overwhelmingly.

This was the first time Xiao had seen Zhongli hate someone so much, his eyes were red.

But just thinking about it, it felt terrifying.

Being tied up, forcibly bled for three months, and having his soul torn apart. ===== CHAPTER 606 =====
