Chapter 1458: Miserable

"Boom!"

At this moment, within the light screen evolving from the memory scene, the great battle continued.

Although Xuanyuan Qishang was very strong, he ultimately could not withstand so many opponents.

He fought ten alone, but after Wang Chi and others failed to persuade him, several of them also made their moves.

At such a time, they cared nothing for ganging up on a single opponent; after all, this was happening within their own sect's gates, and as long as they captured Xuanyuan Qishang, no outsider besides the participants present would ever know the truth.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Wang Chi struck out with a palm, causing Xuanyuan Qishang to instantly fly like a kite with a cut string, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting a mouthful of fresh blood from his lips.

"Eh?"

Xu Que and the others watching this scene were suddenly startled.

The blood Xuanyuan Qishang spat out was actually golden.

Duan Qide was very surprised, having never seen blood of this color before.

Xu Que was even more surprised; after his own Overlord Body leveled up and transformed into a Saint Body, his blood had long been golden, so now seeing Xuanyuan Qishang also spit out golden blood filled Xu Que with disbelief.

If not for the fact that Xuanyuan Qishang's golden blood lacked the same brilliance as his own, he would have almost thought Xuanyuan Qishang also possessed a Saint Body!

"What a pity, my first successfully experimented-upon Beast Bloodline; although it was also the weakest, for it to die just like this is quite regrettable!" At the same time, Xue Po in the scene clicked her tongue while speaking; though she spoke of regret, her face was full of mockery.

Xu Que's heart already understood; Xuanyuan Qishang had also undergone Beast Bloodline modification, which was why he possessed golden blood.

But from the implication in Xue Po's words, Xuanyuan Qishang was actually the weakest among the Beast Bloodline modifiers, so wouldn't that Heavenly Demon team hidden by the Heavenly Palace Academy be defying heaven itself?

"Father!"

The young Xuan Yuan Wanrong cried out, her voice hoarse from shouting, tears streaming down her face.

"Rongrong, be good, don't cry, your mother is coming right away!"

However, Xuanyuan Qishang, lying on the ground with a pale face, smiled at Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

His words caused Wang Chi and the others present to change their expressions instantly.

"Not good, there is a change at the Back Mountain!"

An Elder exclaimed in shock.

"Boom!"

Immediately following, a sound of breaking the void came from the sky, and a cloud of purple qi carrying a woman with a bloodless face descended from heaven, landing before Xuanyuan Qishang and Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

"Mother!" Xuan Yuan Wanrong immediately cried out in joy and surprise, actually rushing out from Xuanyuan Qishang's confinement circle and running toward that woman.

At the same time, after that wisp of purple qi touched the ground, it transformed into a young man with a stern expression, his entire body radiating an icy chill.

"Presumptuous! Li Xiangchen, what are you doing?" Upon seeing the young man, Wang Chi immediately shouted in anger, trembling all over with rage.

This was his most trusted and most proud Direct Disciple, yet now he was actually helping outsiders.

"What you have done has indeed gone too far, but I am a person of the Heavenly Palace Academy, so naturally I will not betray you; however, I also harbor compassion, and since they are destined to be killed by you anyway, what harm is there in letting them reunite before death?" the young man replied indifferently.

"You..." Wang Chi was so angry he pointed his finger at Li Xiangchen but did not speak the rest of his words.

"Enough, I am too lazy to deal with these troublesome matters; looking across the entire Heavenly Palace Academy, only Xuanyuan Qishang earns my appreciation and admiration, so I am willing to help with this small favor, and whatever punishment comes afterward, I will accept it all!" Li Xiangchen replied with full impatience, showing not a shred of awe toward Wang Chi.

But no one present dared to open their mouth to scold him; everyone clearly understood that this Direct Disciple of the Dean possessed unfathomable strength, and apart from the Dean himself, truly no one could deal with him!

Yet how much did Dean Wang Chi cherish this disciple; if anyone else had done such a thing, they would likely have been slapped to death on the spot by Wang Chi.

"Xuanyuan, this is all I can do for you, you..." Li Xiangchen looked down at Xuanyuan Qishang lying on the ground, paused in his speech, then shook his head with a bitter smile: "Heh, never mind, never mind!"

Having said this, he laughed loudly, transformed once again into a wisp of purple qi, shot toward the high sky, and vanished without a trace.

"Qishang! Rongrong!" At the same time, Guan Chuchu, her face completely pale, held Xuan Yuan Wanrong in one arm while looking at Xuanyuan Qishang lying on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Qishang no longer had the strength to even crawl up; the Life Force in his body was ebbing away, yet he wore a smile, gazing ignorantly and affectionately at Guan Chuchu and Xuan Yuan Wanrong embracing each other.

His eyes were full of longing and also full of unwillingness, yet his heart was filled with helplessness.

"Rongrong, quick, go to your father's side!" Guan Chuchu, holding Xuan Yuan Wanrong, crawled toward Xuanyuan Qishang.

Her Beast Bloodline had been extracted countless times, but that torment was nothing compared to the heartache she felt at this moment!

She had never expected that the man she loved most deeply in this life would depart even earlier than she.

"Wu... Father, get up, don't lie on the ground anymore!" The young Xuan Yuan Wanrong had already cried until her voice was completely hoarse.

Her slender, tender, and weak little hand shook Xuanyuan Qishang's hand vigorously, her crying sounds heartbreaking to hear.

"Father, please get up, okay? Rongrong will be obedient from now on!"

"Rongrong will never be mischievous again; Uncle Dean and the others are bad people, they beat Father and injured him."

"Mother, hurry and save Father!"

In the vast Back Mountain Plaza of the Heavenly Palace Academy, nothing could be heard but Xuan Yuan Wanrong's hoarse, childish, and innocent crying.

Xuanyuan Qishang's eyes were already filled with tears; he struggled to raise his hand and touched Xuan Yuan Wanrong's head: "Rongrong, you must be good, you must remember, these people are all Evil ones; one day, if your cultivation succeeds, do not seek revenge, nor blame the entire Heavenly Palace Academy; you must escape and live well... cough cough..."

Speaking to this point, Xuanyuan Qishang coughed violently, fresh blood continuously surging from his mouth.

Tears filled his eyes; a man who once stood tall between heaven and earth, at this moment looked at Guan Chuchu with overwhelming reluctance and a tearful voice: "Chuchu, I'm sorry, I... failed to protect you both!"

As his voice fell, the hand he had placed on Xuan Yuan Wanrong's head slowly slid down!

"Qishang!"

Guan Chuchu whispered softly with a gentle sob, without the heart-rending scream one might have imagined.

Tears slid down her face as she pulled Xuan Yuan Wanrong into her embrace, holding her tightly.

"Rongrong, you must remember your father's words, but... if one day your strength reaches the heavens, your mother wants you to annihilate the Heavenly Palace Academy." She leaned close to Xuan Yuan Wanrong's ear and whispered these instructions softly.

Having said this, she suddenly pushed Xuan Yuan Wanrong away and placed her hand on her dantian position.

"Not good! She wants to destroy her Flesh Body!" Seeing this scene, Xue Po immediately shouted loudly.

And at the same time as she shouted, Wang Chi and the others already struck out with Dharma Spells one after another, attempting to stop her.

Boom!

However, it was ultimately one step too late; Guan Chuchu had kept a trick up her sleeve. Just when everyone believed her Immortal Yuan Power was exhausted, her blood and qi depleted, and her state weaker than that of a Mortal, she unexpectedly retained one final Secret Technique, smashing her own Dantian Mansion and exploding her Flesh Body into ash and smoke.

"Mother!"

Pushed several hundred meters away, Xuan Yuan Wanrong witnessed this scene and let out a desperate scream, coughing up fresh blood directly from her Throat.

Simultaneously, several black figures suddenly darted out, landing beside Xuan Yuan Wanrong; one palm pressed against her back, channeling Immortal Yuan into her to prevent her from suffering further injury.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong, whose vision had been blurred and who was nearly unconscious, now found her sight gradually clearing once more.

At the same time, several voices reached her ears.

"The matter has been exposed as a Loser's doing, but the Chosen One must still be preserved."

"Bring the Memory Pearl and extract this segment of memory!"

The moment the words fell, a palm pressed down upon Xuan Yuan Wanrong's head.

Her vision, which had just regained clarity, gradually blurred again.

Just before slipping into unconsciousness, she still heard Xue Po's furious roar from not far away: "Damn it, the Beast Bloodline is gone!"

"Li Xiangchen, look at the good work you've done!" Wang Chi also roared.
