Chapter 685: Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Nine

As a Soul Condensation entity, it was hard for him to imagine that he could survive such grievous wounds and still retain his sanity.

The bones and flesh of his wrist had been crushed into powder, he had lost half a lung, and all his other internal organs were shattered. Now, his life force was only maintained by the fungal mats controlled by Luo Xiran.

However, as long as he could hang on to a breath of life, and reinforcements arrived, with the top-tier medical treatment of this world, bringing back the dead and mending white bones wasn’t really difficult.

Releasing a long breath, Xu Yuan said with a light laugh,

"Xiran, thank you for just now."

Luo Xiran did not take it to heart and replied with a gentle laugh,

"If it weren’t for you, young devil, I might have slept in the Underground Palace until I even dissipated. My life was saved by you, so this is merely what I should do."

Xu Yuan smiled wanly.

This righteous character of his sister should indeed make Old Man Luo feel ashamed.

After these words, a silence fell for a moment.

Watching the great battle in the sky between Mortal Transcendence powerhouses, Xu Yuan’s eyes carried a hint of complexity as he suddenly asked,

"Xiran, there are still two Mortal Transcendence hidden in the dark within the city, do you... have a way to deal with them?"

Although he had temporarily escaped the death crisis brought by the withered old man, he had not escaped from the assassination deathtrap.

Hearing Xu Yuan’s question, Luo Xiran was silent for a short while before exhaling a single word,

"Yes."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s mind was abruptly startled.

He was well aware that there were only two methods to break this deadly situation.

The first was for his older sister Lou Ji to explode in power.

The second, for his maternal uncle Feng Jiuxuan to arrive in Huizhou County at the critical moment.

Thus, his question to Luo Xiran was merely casual, and to his surprise, he received an affirmative answer.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan reminded in a low voice,

"Xiran, there are still two Mortal Transcendence within the city, and moreover..."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to the battle above, where the Mortal Transcendence elder fought against the iron-faced woman.

Although the elder was still insane and aggressive, his body had sustained serious injuries, while the robust woman’s wounds were pitifully few in comparison.

"That elder has lost his reason and likely won’t last too long against that woman."

"Mhm, I know,"

Luo Xiran’s voice was very light, "The other two have not made a move until now, they are likely waiting for that woman to inflict grave injuries on the old man, and when she has spare capacity to steer the direction of battle, they will then use the aftermath to blast you to death."

Xu Yuan heard this and fell silent.

He had also heard the words of the woman in the sky.

Obviously, the elder, who was infected by the terrifying plague, had already been used as a pawn by the lead assassin.

The relationship between Jiatiange and Fenglan Sect was unclear to everyone, and only the elder had acted in slaughtering the city. As long as he was killed, the stance of the assassin would reverse, turning into a hero who saved the people from the dire straits.

And under the flames of battle from Mortal Transcendence powerhouses, the death of a Soul Condensation should seem natural, right?

Even if manipulated properly, due to the terrifying disease that caused the loss of sanity, Fenglan Sect might even be extracted from behind the withered elder.

All the blame and evidence would then fall upon this one man.

While thinking this, Xu Yuan realized something was amiss.

What about Qian Xi?

With Qian Xi, a Mortal Transcendence, by his side, how could he, a Soul Condensation, be injured by the overflow of their power?

With this thought, Xu Yuan started searching around for the silhouette of Li Junqing’s beauty, but to no avail.

"Are you looking for the woman named Qian Xi?"

Luo Xiran seemed to understand what Xu Yuan was thinking, "She lured the elder away while you were unconscious and drew his attention to that woman. After that, she went to find the Third Prince."

"....."

Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment, sighing slightly in his heart.

The Protective City Formation of Huizhou County no longer had any protective effects, instead it had become a high wall that trapped everyone inside.

The aftermath of the battle between the two in the sky could reach Li Junqing inside the city at any moment.

If he put himself in her place, if she encountered danger and let the Big Ice Lump protect others, even if the Big Ice Lump was obedient, it would definitely come back to protect him first.

Therefore, he was not surprised by the choice of this woman named Qian Xi.

It was just... she wouldn’t have taken Jing Xuelan with her, would she?

With this thought, Xu Yuan suddenly asked out of concern,

"What about Jing Xuelan?"

Luo Xiran replied softly,

"She took her away too."

Joy.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan felt a bizarre urge to laugh.

He could even imagine the constipated expression on the face of Li Junqing when he heard the reasons and consequences.

He had risked coming here to find this woman; Li Junqing wouldn’t fail to realize her importance to the assassins this time.

It was just unknown whether the kid would directly throw away Jing Xuelan, a ticking bomb...

Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan felt it was better to focus on his own situation, and brought the topic back,

"Xiran, what is the method you mentioned just now?"

Instead of a direct answer, Luo Xiran asked back,

"Changtian, do you still remember Qi?"

The final primeval Ghostification, Qi.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s heart came to a sudden halt,

"Of course, I remember."

When they had escaped from the Underground Palace last time, Luo Xiran his younger sister had directly absorbed the flesh and all of Qi’s remnants left behind thousands of years ago.

"Hmm."

Luo Xiran’s voice was light, "Her Demon Crystal is with me."

Xu Yuan’s breathing became somewhat rushed, "What do you mean by that? Let me undergo Ghostification again? Now there is no more Life Reversal Liquid."
