Chapter 942: Each Goes Their Own Way (3/2, Requesting Moon Tickets)

"Master Qiankun? He was once a disciple of the Thousand Lies Palace—he might indeed be able to cure Lin Ling, but getting Master Qiankun to act… we're probably not worthy enough…" Wei Ba said calmly.

Fang Yue suddenly stood up with a rustle and walked out in silence.

Everyone froze.

"Wait! Ye Ge, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Sisi. If she asks Master Qiankun, he'll likely grant the You Family some face."

"... But we can't return right now."

We just clashed with You Xingchen, and now we're going back boldly? That's too brazen.

"I'll go. This was supposed to be my and Chen Qing's responsibility—we failed, and the experiment results went off track." Jing Yan clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

Chen Qing's fate was still unknown, and now Lin Ling was in trouble—he hated his own helplessness.

Seeing this, Wei Ba fell silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I'll go. None of you have legitimate standing to enter the You Mansion—only I…"

Boom!!

Before she could finish, ice flowers exploded across her palm, and a blooming lotus pattern emerged, radiating blinding crimson light.

Wei Ba's face instantly changed.

"Crimson Light Ice Lotus?!"

Crimson Light Ice Lotus?

Fang Yue and the others stared blankly at Wei Ba.

She grimaced and said: "This is the highest-level emergency distress signal of the Extreme Ice Sect. It only activates when the sect faces annihilation—triggering the Crimson Light Ice Lotus on every disciple's palm!"

Any disciple of the Extreme Ice Sect who has trained its Martial Arts carries this Crimson Light Ice Lotus within them, invisibly seeded.

Now that the Extreme Ice Sect has issued this ultimate distress signal, it means the sect is in dire peril.

Wei Ba looked at the unconscious Lin Ling, then at her right hand—where the crimson glow had faded, leaving only a tattoo-like ice lotus mark—and clenched her tiny fist.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I… I have to go."

"Wait!"

Fang Yue quickly blocked her.

"If you go to the Extreme Ice Sect now, you'll die for sure. Stay here and help me cure Lin Ling—then I'll go with you to crush the Flame Sect…"

Before Fang Yue finished speaking, Wei Ba's left eye burst into flame, her right eye spread frost—her entire aura transformed instantly!

"S-Seven Ba Jiu Daren?"

Unlike her usual approachable demeanor, Seven Ba Jiu Daren now radiated an ancient, terrifying presence.

"Don't stop Wei Ba. The Extreme Ice Sect is in danger. I don't want to waste power traveling, and I don't… want to kill you for trying to stop me."

Her voice was icy, carrying absolute authority.

Only by standing directly against Seven Ba Jiu Daren and feeling the overwhelming, primordial aura could Fang Yue truly grasp how terrifying she was.

That indescribable strength was utterly beyond ordinary Rain Realm cultivators!

Only someone like Lord Han at the Xian level might have the power to challenge Seven Ba Jiu Daren!

As for himself, his combined strength barely reached the Rain Realm—only with the help of the Sheepskin Paper could he possibly stand against a being like Seven Ba Jiu Daren.

Still… too weak!

Fang Yue clenched his fist. His recent surge in power had made him lose perspective—but compared to true masters, he was still far behind.

The 【Weird Realm】 progress had completely stalled, frozen at 【Li-level High Stage 100%】.

It seemed only when a human cultivator's realm advanced could the Weird Force strengthen enough to push the 【Weird Realm】 into the Rain Realm!

Under Seven Kill Jiu Daren's overwhelming pressure, no one dared utter a word. Among those present, only Fang Yue could barely speak—everyone else could hardly stand, and merely staying conscious was a miracle.

This was likely because Seven Ba Jiu Daren had restrained her aura—if not, no one here except him could have remained standing.

When Seven Ba Jiu Daren closed her eyes, the primordial aura faded and vanished.

When she opened them again, the frost and flame in her eyes had receded—she was Wei Ba once more.

She looked apologetically at Fang Yue and the others.

"Ye Ge, I'm truly sorry—I have to go."

Fang Yue said nothing.

He was thinking.

Without his help, Wei Ba going alone was a death sentence.

Letting her leave now meant watching her walk to her death.

But Lin Ling's condition was urgent—and Chen Qing's situation too…

Fang Yue scanned those around him, considered the situation carefully, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"Niu Niu, take my message to the You Mansion—ask You Sisi to contact Master Qiankun and get him to treat Lin Ling. Your two little brothers stay here to protect Lin Ling and Jing Yan."

Jing Yan blinked in surprise and asked instinctively: "What about you?"

Fang Yue looked at Wei Ba.

"I'm going with Wei Ba to bring reinforcements to the Extreme Ice Sect. She's heading straight to the emergency distress point to meet the sect members. I'll go with her, help them resolve the crisis, then get them to send troops to Jingcheng to protect you. You just need to hold out for about a day—you'll get reinforcements."

Fang Yue had foreseen Jing Yan's situation here—he'd faced no real danger.

Only on the final day would Black Cloud from the Wu Yu tribe cover Jingcheng, cutting off his foresight—he just couldn't return in time.

Now that he knew this outcome, he'd finish this quickly—resolve the Flame Sect's threat, then return to Jingcheng to protect Jing Yan and the others.

He would save Wei Ba, and Jing Yan and Lin Ling too—everyone.

Jing Yan listened, thought it over, and nodded: "Alright. Let's split up! Lin Ling is my and Chen Qing's research achievement—I won't let him die like this, and I won't let Lord Han die a second time!"

With the plan set, the group immediately split up.

Jing Yan and the others watched Fang Yue and his tail leave, and Niu Niu immediately set off for You Mansion with Fang Yue's verbal message.

Lin Ling's condition, despite the medicine Fang Yue had left, grew more dangerous with every moment of delay.

You Mansion seemed to have been mobilized because of You Xingchen's recent near-disaster, sending people out to search for news of Fang Yue and the others.

Niu Niu, however, took the chance to sneak into You Mansion quietly, and with the map Fang Yue had provided, quickly found You Sisi.

"Sisi-jie is so pretty!"

The moment she stepped through the door, Niu Niu launched straight into flattery mode.

Come on, this was the woman Ye Ge had taken a fancy to—of course she had to butter her up properly.

You Sisi was startled on the spot, and upon discovering Niu Niu's strength was nothing special, frowned and began to question her.

"So it was Ye Se who sent you. Captain Lin and Lord Han…"

You Sisi's brows knit tightly; she was worried about Fang Yue's safety. After all, Xingchen Shu had not flown into such a rage in a very long time—even Xu Shu standing beside him had been unable to talk him down.

Can't sleep, got up to get some air
