Chapter 86 Soul Realm Wanted
The fawning surprise on Ji Yuan's face didn't seem to be feigned.
Luo Sifan frowned slightly. He had absolutely no liking for this ruthless Soul Realm henchman who used his companions and then discarded them.
Instead of stopping, they dodged even faster.
The consequences of Shu Hongyi's lightning strike were somewhat unexpected.
The cloud pillar sword energy, carrying the power of divine thunder, collided with the spiritual energy spear emitted by the Martial Hall statue. With a series of muffled thuds, it completely devoured the spear from head to tail.
The residual power of the sword energy impacted the statue's radiance, causing only chaotic spiritual light and shaking of the hall; the massive explosion that Luo Sifan had anticipated did not occur.
Shu Hongyi had no intention of adding fuel to the fire. She casually sheathed the Dragon-Slaying Sword, ignored the statue in the Martial Hall, and helped up the injured man who had collapsed to the ground.
This person was barely breathing; his physical body and energy channels had been severely damaged and he was on the verge of death by the powerful spiritual energy.
Seeing that there was no hope of saving him, Shu Hongyi still did what she could by taking a pill from her bosom and putting it into his mouth.
The second-tier healing pill, the Life-Saving Pill, that the Mu family presented to her was originally intended for her disciple. Although it couldn't save this person's life, it was still enough to keep him alive.
The Jisheng Dan melted instantly upon contact with the mouth, freezing the blood and qi that had been continuously draining from the dying wounded man. The power of the pill was activated, and an abnormal crimson appeared on his pale face, mingling with the red blood on his face.
"Hello…"
The man opened his eyes groggily, his swollen and bloodshot eyes looking somewhat dazed. When he saw Shu Hongyi's concerned expression, he paused for a moment before seemingly remembering something.
The massive explosion caused by the collision of the different spiritual energies of water and fire had severely shaken his soul.
"Thanks…"
The man's eyes lit up briefly before dimming again, likely because he sensed his imminent death.
Her already haggard and thin face now seemed even more devoid of hope, her lips moving as if she were talking to herself:
"Senior! I'm going to die."
Shu Hongyi nodded silently and sighed softly:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. I am Shu Hongyi from the Qishan Sword Sect. Perhaps I can even help you settle things after your death."
The Qishan Sword Sect, with a history spanning a thousand years, is quite well-known in the Silverfrost Empire.
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, as if something had happened to him, and began to cough violently.
The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and his broken body trembled violently.
Shu Hongyi had no choice but to transfer some spiritual energy to him to stabilize his scattered pulse.
The man calmed down a bit, swallowed the blood he coughed up, and looked at Shu Hongyi with a hint of gratitude in his red eyes.
"Thank you, senior..."
"My name is... Jiang Wanfeng. I was originally a scout in the Western Expeditionary Army. More than twenty years ago, I strayed into this place and never expected to die here. My parents and sisters probably just think I've disappeared forever, right?"
Jiang Wanfeng spoke with difficulty, panting heavily. When he mentioned his elderly parents at home, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
"Do you have anything to give them? Perhaps I can do it for you."
Shu Hongyi felt a little reluctant and said something extra.
A hint of joy flashed across Jiang Wanfeng's face. He slowly raised his left hand, enduring the pain, and it seemed that something was hidden in the torn sleeve of his robe.
Shu Hongyi reached out and untied it. It turned out to be a small leather pouch tied to her arm. It was bumpy and textured, and she couldn't tell if it was gold, silver, or gemstones.
"Is this all? Tell me your address. If I can get out of here, I'll at least have someone deliver it to your house."
To avoid arousing Jiang Wanfeng's suspicion, Shu Hongyi was too lazy to open it, so she put the leather bag into her bosom and said indifferently.
As if a huge weight had been lifted from Jiang Wanfeng's chest, his pent-up emotions suddenly eased.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior! I will repay your great kindness in my next life!"
The cheers and excitement aggravated Jiang Wanfeng's injuries, causing him to cough violently again.
At that moment, Luo Sifan flew in from outside the main hall with a depressed expression, just in time to witness this touching scene.
As a master alchemist, he could naturally tell at a glance how serious Jiang Wanfeng's injuries were.
Seeing that Shu Hongyi and this person got along quite well, Luo Sifan didn't think twice. He plucked a leaf of Crimson Pearl from the Mirage Pearl, crumpled it into a ball, and put it into Jiang Wanfeng's dry lips.
"Brother, chew this medicine and hold it in your mouth; it will naturally turn into saliva and enter your stomach."
Luo Sifan gave the instructions softly, while Shu Hongyi beside him remained unmoved.
Even with a fifth-tier healing elixir like the Great Rejuvenation Pill, it would be difficult to revive Jiang Wanfeng's sliver of life given his injuries.
Not to mention the blade of grass that Luo Sifan casually kneaded.
Jiang Wanfeng, however, was different. The fragrance of the Crimson Pearl Grass filled his nostrils, and his spirits soared. He involuntarily raised his waist and opened his lips to ask for the grass, and it seemed that he had recovered 20% of his strength.
As the herb entered his mouth, Jiang Wanfeng gently bit through the grass, and a rich saliva rolled down his throat like a living thing, flowing into his body and limbs.
Having learned from Liu Yuzhi's experience, Luo Sifan gently slashed with his palm, striking Jiang Wanfeng on the back of the head.
Jiang Wanfeng's Qi channels were blocked by Luo Sifan's Taiyi Qingxuan spiritual energy. His eyes rolled back and he fainted, not even having time to show the joy brought by the Crimson Pearl Grass Liquid.
"Lin Xiaozhi! What are you doing now?"
Shu Hongyi was getting a little anxious. Jiang Wanfeng hadn't even had time to give his address or his last words. Now that Luo Sifan had done this, he might not wake up before he died.
"Don't worry about me! I've saved you twice already, senior!"
Luo Sifan replied helplessly.
"you!"
Shu Hongyi blushed, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell. But Luo Sifan's words were ultimately reasonable, and she couldn't refute them.
Shu Hongyi glanced at Jiang Wanfeng, who was lying in his sleep with a sudden frown and pain on his face, and sighed inwardly. If this person still doesn't come back to life, it can only be blamed on his bad luck in meeting the wrong person. It's fate.
"Where's Ji Yuan? Did he run away?"
Shu Hongyi then turned her attention to Ji Yuan, who had acted wickedly and fled during the crisis, her voice cold and menacing.
"Ran!"
Luo Sifan seemed somewhat distracted.
He never expected that when Ji Yuan approached him with a smile, he would suddenly change his expression and attack him.
He also mumbled a bunch of strange things out of nowhere.
They said that Luo Sifan had offended the Holy Son of the Celestial Palace, and everyone had the right to kill him, and that they themselves were acting on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice, and so on.
Although Luo Sifan was alert, his soul was still struck by Ji Yuan's soul-controlling technique, and he stood frozen for several breaths, helplessly listening to Ji Yuan's overjoyed rambling.
What "acting on behalf of Heaven"? It's clearly a case of the reward being too high. It seems that the benefits promised by the Holy Son of the Immortal Palace in the Soul Realm for capturing Luo Sifan's soul alive are enough to make Ji Yuan feel elated.
Luo Sifan's own understanding of the Soul Control Technique had been completely plundered by Xiao Yi, leaving his mind blank and rendering him immune to this technique. Na Jiyuan was helpless against him.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan was still wary of Luo Sifan's swordsmanship and did not get too close to his physical body. Apart from the Soul Control Technique, he did not touch anything else.
After his nagging, Ji Yuan rubbed his hands together and unleashed his treasure, a jade-tipped whisk, which he was about to use to extract Luo Sifan's soul from a distance.
Unexpectedly, Luo Sifan's immortal soul was stimulated by something, causing a powerful backlash. Not only did the Jiyuan whisk shatter, but he also coughed up blood on the spot, and his face turned ashen.
Seeing that the soul-controlling technique was about to disappear, Ji Yuan's greed for wealth and advancement vanished in terror. He lost all confidence in taking the risk of attacking Luo Sifan and, in a fit of rage, let out a series of strange cries and turned to run away.
When Luo Sifan came to her senses, Ji Yuan had already vanished without a trace.
Since there was no sound from Shu Hongyi in the Martial Hall, Luo Sifan had no choice but to abandon Ji Yuan and go in to check the situation.
Shu Hongyi fiercely inquired about Ji Yuan's whereabouts, so Luo Sifan's mood was naturally not good either.
