Chapter 49: Shut Up!

"Stop right there!"

An angry roar came from Lieyang Peak, causing Jing Yueqin, who had just regained her senses, to fall back into a state of shock.

"Don't worry about that side, cough, cough, he..."

Ren Yidao's weak voice sounded from behind, tugging at Jing Yueqin's arm.

"But, Senior Brother Zuo he... Yidao! What happened to you!!?"

Turning her head, Jing Yueqin's expression changed abruptly, and she hurriedly embraced her junior brother's limp body as he collapsed.

Ren Yidao's appearance looked extremely miserable; a large amount of blood seeped from his pores, soaking his entire body and turning his white robes into blood-stained garments.

And what looked even more miserable was his face.

The face that usually held an eerie charm amidst its delicate features could only be described as tragic at this moment.

All seven orifices were bleeding to varying degrees, mixing with the bloodstains he had smeared between his brows, looking both tragic and sinister.

"Who is it!"

Who hurt you?

"Who exactly did this!?"

Rustle...

Suddenly looking toward the source of the sound, Jing Yueqin saw a sneaky figure in black, carefully retreating, who then suddenly accelerated the moment they were discovered!

It's him!

"You get back here!!?"

In a fit of rage, Jing Yueqin did not hold back at all, almost crushing the space around the figure in black directly!

"Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! I'm on your side!!!"

Shi Anqi fled for his life, shouting loudly:

"I really am on your side! Junior Brother Ren, say something!!!"

Why did you stop talking again!?

This old brother really needs you right now!

Junior Brother Ren!!!

"Hmm!? Ah, cough, cough, who's calling me?"

Perhaps his inner cries reached Ren Yidao, for Ren Yidao, who was being protected in Jing Yueqin's arms, opened his eyes and raised a hand to pull her, saying:

"Senior Sister, stop chasing, he really is on our side."

Taking advantage of Jing Yueqin's hesitation, Shi Anqi, who was running for his life, fled all the way back to his subordinates and was surrounded by them layer by layer.

But even so, he didn't feel much sense of security in his heart.

It was too terrifying.

Is this what a Wuxiang Realm cultivator is like?

No, is this what a Wuxiang Demon is like?

How terrifying!

It's not that the Beigan Dynasty lacks Heaven Realm cultivators, but those few are either imperial retainers or royal relatives, and they don't show themselves easily.

One rarely even sees them, let alone gets them to go all out.

And the Divine Path Sect, just on the surface, has a Sect Leader in the Ask Dao Realm and Zuo Su in the Wuxiang Realm, and now a Jing Yueqin has been exposed as well...

"As expected of a super sect."

With hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and keeping a low profile year-round, just how much strength they can accumulate in the shadows is truly an unpredictable matter.

"This matter must be reported to the Emperor; with the Emperor's wisdom, he will surely be able to think of a perfect solution."

While Shi Anqi was already thinking about reporting to the Emperor, Jing Yueqin was still in a state of panic.

She busily and clumsily wrapped Ren Yidao up with a sleeve she had torn off her own garment, looking exactly like she was binding a rice dumpling.

"Stop, stop, stop, I was fine, but I'm afraid I'll be near death by the time you finish binding me."

I think you're trying to strangle me and then inherit my tail!

"But..."

Seeing Ren Yidao's fierce glare, Jing Yueqin finally let go of her hands in dismay.

"How did you end up like this? You're too careless! Uh... did I say something wrong?"

Jing Yueqin watched the fist slowly coming toward her and took this soft, weak punch head-on.

She didn't dare to dodge at all, mainly for fear that if Ren Yidao missed, he would throw his back out and drop dead...

Heavens, the rice dumpling is hitting people!

"You still have the nerve to say that, cough, cough, it was all to wake you up, you fellow with such terrible sleeping habits!"

Lowering her head, Jing Yueqin finally noticed that the place where she was had undergone tremendous changes again.

The mountain of flesh piled up from severed limbs had completely vanished, and the ground was pitted and scarred, as if it had been trampled by some kind of monster.

"Don't guess, it was you."

Jing Yueqin: "... Oh."

So it was me.

"No need to make that face; you vented your desire to attack onto the environment, and not a single fellow disciple died because of you."

"You can be a little more proud."

After saying this, Ren Yidao took a deep breath again and struggled to open his eyes wide.

The miserable state of Ren Yidao's physical body was only superficial; his Fox Demon body was still resilient enough to endure it.

What was truly in trouble was his spiritual power.

It was not just a matter of being completely dried up; just now, he had even blacked out for a few seconds as a self-protective measure.

There really wasn't a single drop left!

Even tomorrow's supply had already been overdrawn...

Slap.

Gasping for breath, Ren Yidao slapped himself and forced himself to perk up to explain:

"No one can get close to you, not even me."

It was a pity that the scene of using true feelings to restore the sanity of one who had Fallen into Demon did not come to pass.

"Later, I could only have Shi Anqi take me to forcibly break through to your side, and then try to connect with your spirit..."

Smiling triumphantly, Ren Yidao was just short of wagging the Tail behind him.

"Forcibly squeezing into the Consciousness Sea of a Formless cultivator—you know how difficult that is."

Jing Yueqin certainly understood the difficulty of this matter.

Even if she had already fallen into chaos, this was an almost impossible thing to achieve.

Only by trying again and again, failing again and again, and then trying again and again, was it possible to hit that slim probability.

And every failure would result in the pain of mental tearing.

But the youth did not show a shred of this in his attitude; instead, he boasted of his own merits with great pride:

"But I did it! Hmph hmph, you can praise me now! It doesn't matter if you say it loudly, I won't... oh."

Before he could finish bragging, he was tightly embraced.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Jing Yueqin sobbed, constantly begging for forgiveness.

Even though she least wanted him to be hurt, she had brought him pain time and time again.

Gently hugging her back, Ren Yidao held her shoulders and chuckled:

"At a time like this, you know that besides apologizing, there is something else you should do, right?"

"It's to thank me."

Laboriously raising his hand, he hooked the Senior Sister's chin and asked with a smile:

"How are you going to compensate me?"

Gazing at the youth with moist eyes, Jing Yueqin lifted her head and offered her gift of thanks.

Using a finger to press against the approaching red lips, Ren Yidao smiled and waved his hand.

"Ah, wait a moment."

The Heavenly Fox Dao God walked out from behind and stood between the two.

The giant white fox lay down, used its Tail to curl the two into its embrace, and used its connected head and tail to completely block their figures.

Feeling the faint scent of blood in his mouth and the softness that probed in, Ren Yidao smiled.

That's right.

Having gone through so much effort, enduring so much pain and torment.

Wasn't this exactly what it was for?

However...

Did we forget something?

Boom!

Lieyang Peak shook violently, as if it were about to be flipped right out from the ground!

Peeking his head out from the Heavenly Fox, Ren Yidao suddenly realized.

"Oh, so that's what it was!"

I almost forgot!
