CHAPTER 919: CHAPTER 915: LI ZHAOJUN AWAKENS (PART 2)

Li Zhaojun did not believe Fa Ying’s words; she kept shaking her head. At this time, Wu Ding had already stood up.

"You, Fa Ying, used to seem quite upright. Now, not only do you forcibly take disciples from Xuanyue Palace, but you also obstruct a husband and wife reunion. Qing Neng... Ye Fan came from Earth, enduring untold hardships. Earlier, to break the seal within this girl’s body, he even risked his life. Do you have any semblance of a teacher’s kindness?" Wu Ding angrily expressed what was bottled up inside her.

At this moment, Ye Fan was as if he had exhausted all his oil and the lamp had burned out. Except for some spiritual energy circulating within his body, he was no different from a dead person.

So many cultivators present were astonished upon hearing Wu Ding’s words.

It turns out that Qing Neng and Yun Zhao, the talented young disciples who were battling just now, were a married couple. Then why would they fight to the death?

Qing Lian was angered at the sight of Wu Ding, and she sneered, "How we discipline our disciples is none of your concern."

"Indeed, it’s none of my concern. I would rather have my junior not come to this girl’s aid, but he is so obsessed that he even risks his life. Could I stop him?" Having said that, Wu Ding continued to bend down and took over injecting spiritual energy into Ye Fan’s body from Elder Wu.

This was the only way to prolong Ye Fan’s life and preserve his cultivation.

Despite her stubborn and strong personality, Li Zhaojun couldn’t help but shed tears as she looked at her two most respected mentors and said, "Master, why has it come to this?"

Under Hua Wu’s lead, the people of Tianxuan Sect collectively left. Even Ye Fan was lifted by Wu Ding and walked down the mountain. For a moment, the scene in the hall spiraled out of control, and no one expected such a twist.

As the initiator of this gathering, Huang Ze, the host, was somewhat unable to maintain his composure. He waved his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today may encounter some troubles. I invite you all to return down the mountain to rest and gather in the hall again tomorrow."

The attendees were still waiting to see who would be the final chosen one, which turned out to be only half the show. However, the content was quite thrilling, with a scene where a couple fought to the death.

Originally, most attendees were harboring a gloating mentality, but when they thought of the catastrophe depicted on the Chenyan White Jade Stone, they couldn’t help but frown.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s soul was nearly in a drifting state. The only shadow in his heart compelled him to open his eyes and reach out.

A lot of people gathered in Ye Fan’s guest room, all disciples of Tianxuan Sect. Hua Wu continuously checked Ye Fan’s physical condition, but even with her cultivation level, she could do nothing.

"Master, we have given him many spiritual medicines, but there is no improvement at all," Wu Ding said nervously. "If we take him back to Tianxuan Sect and use the Golden Scale Pill to heal him, there may be hope for survival."

Hua Wu shook her head slightly and said, "The Golden Scale Powder cannot save his Golden Core; perhaps he is destined to be a mediocre person. He himself may prefer to be an ordinary person."

People around sighed, lamenting that Ye Fan, with excellent spirit root and talents, was the first in history, prematurely ending his cultivation path, which was quite unfortunate.

Just at this moment, a not-quite-masculine voice came from the doorway, saying, "Try our Nine Star Pill from Xinghe Sect..."

Two people came close; in front was the Sect Master of Xinghe Sect, Hai Wuzi, and behind him was the ice and fire beauty Min Shang, who had previously lost to Li Zhaojun in battle.

Hai Wuzi held a bottle of pills, handed it to Hua Wu, who opened it and saw the healing sacred Nine Star Pill from Xinghe Sect. It is said that this pill takes Xinghe Sect several years or even decades to refine a single one.

"Such a big gift, we dare not accept it," Hua Wu returned the Nine Star Pill.

"No matter," Hai Wuzi coldly smiled, "It is not a free favor for this kid; we would like him to do something in the future..."

Wu Ding coldly said, "He’s like this, and you still want him to do something for you?"

"Rest assured, what he does is advantageous rather than harmful to him. You saw his current situation; this Sect Master will help him preserve his Golden Core, which is tantamount to saving him once. Having him repay with a small favor, is that not fair?"

These words left Tianxuan Sect people speechless.

No one knows what exactly Hai Wuzi wants Ye Fan to do, but Xinghe Sect has always been upright, never doing anything against nature. Accepting this spirit pill is no big deal; exchanging it for the sacred medicine of Tianxuan Sect is always possible.

"Hmm." Hua Wu nodded, effectively agreeing to the matter.

Only then did Wu Ding take the Nine Star Pill back and fed it to Ye Fan. The Nine Star Pill was just a golden pill, instantly transforming into paths of golden light once in Ye Fan’s mouth, flowing through Ye Fan’s extraordinary meridians and eight pulses. After circulating several times, it finally gathered within Ye Fan’s Golden Core.

Hua Wu carefully checked Ye Fan’s body pulses on her face showed slight relief, saying, "The Golden Core is finally preserved, but to restore his cultivation will take decades to a century or more... During this period, his cultivation will not progress at all; if he returns to Earth..."

She didn’t finish, but the implication was that if Ye Fan returned to Earth, he would completely lose the possibility of advancing in cultivation.

"It is all Fa Ying and Qing Lian, those old nuns. If it weren’t for them forcing that young girl, junior brother wouldn’t have willingly risked his life." Wu Ding, infected by hatred like a woman, grasped her fist as if she was going to fight with Fa Ying and Qing Lian.

Wu Ding’s cultivation, already considered very high among various sects, was in the Body Integration Realm, while Li Zhaojun’s master, Fa Ying, was merely at the late stage of Body Integration Realm.

Hai Wuzi said, "The grudges between your Tianxuan Sect and Emperor Extreme Sect, Xinghe Sect cannot involve and does not wish to. Just remember, this kid owes Xinghe Sect a favor, and he will surely repay it later."

Hua Wu nodded, saying, "As long as it does not betray conscience and sect principles, this Sect Master promises on his behalf, never to regret."

"Good." Hai Wuzi didn’t even say goodbye, turning and heading for the door. But Min Shang, who was born without feelings, turned around and was quietly watching the unconscious Ye Fan.

Outside, after walking far away, Hai Wuzi suddenly looked at his disciple and said, "Still thinking about that kid?"

"Yes." Min Shang replied straightforwardly.

For someone without feelings, lying was meaningless because she didn’t need to be responsible for what she said and did.

Hai Wuzi said, "No wonder; he is of Pure Yang constitution. Though his spirit root is unknown, if not top grade heavenly spirit root, it is extraordinary human spirit root. He is the only one in the world who can change your constitution. Your Yin-Yang Everchanging constitution, though your strength is also your greatest weakness, will resonate with him, just like Yun Zhao that girl in the hall would resonate with him alike."

"Master, what is resonance?" A person without feelings cannot understand dependence.

"It is a mystery even cultivators cannot escape, also the largest obstacle for countless cultivators to attain immortality and enlightenment. In this world, who can truly cut off emotions and desires?"
