Chapter 369

It was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't eventually step in to help the Lingjiu Palace.

Old Man Wu decided to wait and see how things developed first.

Meanwhile, Gu Hanyuan was still carrying Wu Xingyun as they flew through the sky.

Humanity's pursuit of the heavens is eternal.

Even Wu Xingyun found herself unable to restrain her emotions at this moment.

Wu Xingyun had never experienced the feeling of looking down upon the world like this before.

She only felt that her heart and mind had broadened significantly in this instant.

At first, Wu Xingyun had been very interested in flying.

However, not long after,

Wu Xingyun, whose internal energy was meager after dispersing her cultivation and starting over, found it difficult to withstand the cold wind brought about by "Sword-Flying."

Naturally, this was because Gu Hanyuan had intentionally refrained from using his spiritual power to provide her with protection.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan seemed to have noticed her embarrassment,

he reached out and pulled Wu Xingyun completely into his embrace,

letting her bury her head against his chest.

Gu Hanyuan's warm body temperature made Wu Xingyun's face flush slightly.

That sense of security truly left Wu Xingyun, who had drifted alone her entire life, feeling somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

At this moment, she even felt as if she had grown accustomed to being held.

Suddenly, she no longer had the heart to resist.

She comforted herself by thinking of him as nothing more than a mount for transport.

Wu Xingyun sighed faintly in her heart.

Right now, she was extremely conflicted.

If Gu Hanyuan were to discover her true identity,

the dignified Tianshan Tonglao would have actually taken a junior as her master,

and was even being cared for like a real little girl.

Where would she be able to hide her face?

Moreover, Gu Hanyuan taking her away allowed her to avoid Li Qiu's pursuit.

She could only hide the truth for now and take things one step at a time.

However, just as Wu Xingyun helplessly made this decision,

the midday sun beat down upon her,

and her young, delicate body began to tremble.

When Wu Xingyun cultivated the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Sole Sovereign Art" and dispersed her cultivation to start over,

she had to consume fresh blood at noon every day to practice.

Otherwise, her internal energy would boil and churn,

and she would fall into a state of madness.

Gu Hanyuan asked with feigned concern:

"What's wrong with you? Why are you shaking so violently? Are you too cold?"

Yet, at this moment, Wu Xingyun didn't have a shred of strength left to answer.

Wu Xingyun struggled to lift her head and look into Gu Hanyuan's worried eyes.

Although Gu Hanyuan's care warmed her heart slightly,

her internal energy was now so agitated that she was on the verge of losing her sanity.

Especially when she saw the clear lines of Gu Hanyuan's neck,

she subconsciously licked her lips, ready to bite down.

Gu Hanyuan, seeing through her intentions, dodged Wu Xingyun's pounce,

reached out, and tapped a point on the back of her neck,

knocking Wu Xingyun unconscious.

Just then, they happened to be passing through Luoyang.

Gu Hanyuan brought the unconscious Wu Xingyun down to Green Bamboo Alley.

Green Bamboo Old Man only heard a sound of air being torn,

and looked in surprise at Gu Hanyuan descending from the sky.

Thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him, he rubbed them.

"Green Bamboo Old Man. Is Yingying here?"

It wasn't until Gu Hanyuan called out to him that Green Bamboo Old Man reacted.

It was rare to see Gu Hanyuan at a time like this,

so he hurriedly said:

"Young Master Gu. The Holy Maiden was captured by people from the South Shaolin some time ago."

Gu Hanyuan asked, knowing the answer already:

"Captured by the South Shaolin?"

"Yes. The Holy Maiden's subordinates have already gathered at Five Tyrants Hill, preparing to go to the South Shaolin to demand her release."

Green Bamboo Old Man explained the gathering at Five Tyrants Hill to Gu Hanyuan.

Gu Hanyuan said with a solemn expression:

"I understand. Once I finish my business, I will also make a trip to the South Shaolin."

Green Bamboo Old Man looked somewhat surprised at the young girl in Gu Hanyuan's arms and asked:

"Young Master Gu, this is?"

Gu Hanyuan had already prepared his excuse.

He said helplessly:

"This is a disciple I just took in. Her cultivation went awry, and I happened to be passing through Luoyang. First, I came to check on Yingying, and second, to borrow a place to treat my disciple."

Green Bamboo Old Man hadn't expected Gu Hanyuan to take on a disciple at such a young age.

However, given his martial arts, there was nothing wrong with taking a disciple.

Green Bamboo Old Man led Gu Hanyuan to a bamboo hut

and arranged a room for him.

Seeing Green Bamboo Old Man leave,

Gu Hanyuan pondered for a moment,

then revealed a playful smile.

After a long time,

Wu Xingyun opened her bewildered eyes.

Gu Hanyuan's voice came from behind her.

"Disciple, your Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian is severely damaged, and your yin and yang are out of balance. I am currently adjusting it for you. Do not move around."

Gu Hanyuan wasn't just talking nonsense.

The "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Sole Sovereign Art" was originally a supreme yang divine art,

which was not originally suitable for women to cultivate.

But Wu Xingyun was proud and arrogant,

and had forcibly reversed the supreme yang internal energy to cultivate it as supreme yin.

Therefore, during the period of returning to youth,

the original supreme yin energy dissipated into her meridians and could not return.

Wu Xingyun's Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian was severely damaged,

so at noon every day, the yin and yang energy in her body would begin to lose balance,

causing her internal energy to boil.

That was why she needed to consume blood to replenish the blood-yin to harmonize the yang energy.

Gu Hanyuan's "Yin-Yang Art" was peerless in the world when it came to transforming yin and yang.

Never mind adjusting the unbalanced yang energy in Wu Xingyun's body.
