LZX Chapter 68.2

“If not done, one would certainly regret it for the rest of their life.” Ling Nianwu recalled the moment he had sent Lu Xiaochan to the Wuyi Jingtian, and he sighed, “Go ahead.”

Lu Xiaochan let out a sigh. “He indeed would come…”

“Thank you, Lord Ling!” Ye Linshuang rose and approached Lu Xiaochan, “Xiaochan, I know your medical spell’s power. Having met, I beg you to help me with one thing!”

“Sword Master Ye, please speak freely. As long as I, Lu Xiaochan, can do it, I would not hesitate to brave fire and water!”

“Please give me a medical spell, the Purification Spell will do.”

Lu Xiaochan immediately understood what Ye Linshuang wanted to do.

Lianyue Yuan’s elixir core had been riddled with evil qi. Only by using the Purification Spell to cleanse the miasma could Lianyue’s elixir core be saved. Even so, once entered into the Demon Capital, there might be no chance of ever leaving.

But being able to be together completely, even if turning to ashes, left no regrets or fears.

“Sword Master Ye, do you know that a medical spell also involves exchanging one obsession for another? Purifying the evil qi in his elixir sea with the purity of your heart?” Lu Xiaochan spoke seriously.

“I understand.”

Lu Xiaochan closed his eyes, remembering how he had once saved Shu Wuxi over a thousand years ago. The pain of flesh separating was nothing in front of the most beloved person.

“I hope… you can help Lianyue Yuan rise from the dead and come back to life.”

Lu Xiaochan condensed a Purification Spell at his fingertip and touched Ye Linshuang’s forehead.

Ye Linshuang closed his eyes and received it, saying “Thank you.”

At this time, Miaochen Yuan had already arrived. She called out to Ye Linshuang, “Linshuang! Catch!”

A sword fell into Ye Linshuang’s hand, which was the Lianyue Sword.

Previously, to deceive the Demon Infant, Miaochen Yuan had exchanged the Lianyue Sword with her own Twilight Sword and remotely controlled it.

Now the Twilight Sword had returned, but the Lianyue Sword had lost its connection with Lianyue Yuan due to the separation by the myriad of evil spirits.

Ye Linshuang said, “Master, receive this disciple’s bow. This time, I’m afraid…”

This time, they might not meet again.

“Linshuang, we shall meet again. Master awaits your return.” Miaochen Yuan smiled faintly, using a sword formation to open a path into the Hopeless land for Ye Linshuang.

Ye Linshuang leaped in and was quickly engulfed by evil qi.

Evil spirits surged, and Ye Linshuang dragged countless frost flowers directly into the Demon Capital.

Lu Xiaochan looked at Shu Wuxi and said, “I want to lend them a hand. Otherwise, before Ye Linshuang reaches the Demon Capital, Lianyue might already be gone.”

“Then I will refine these evil spirits.” Shu Wuxi said softly.

Lu Xiaochan laughed. “Brother Wuxi, you’ve changed.”

“How have I changed?” Shu Wuxi lowered his eyes, looking at Lu Xiaochan.

His eyes seemed cold, yet were tenderly affectionate.

“You never used to care about such trivial matters.”

“What cannot be managed are the endless trivial matters. Once in a lifetime, how can it be a trivial matter?”

After speaking, Shu Wuxi sent a spiritual energy straight to the ninth heaven, like a light breaking through dawn.

Everyone was shocked, watching the spiritual energy reach the clouds, rolling clouds being drawn down, rushing and roaring, charging toward the evil spirits escaping the Hopeless land.

Like a deep abyss being illuminated, a massive sword formation emerged above the crevice, causing everyone to widen their eyes.

Miaochen Yuan spoke, “It’s the Soaring Sky Sword Formation.”

This was the most murderous sword formation among Shu Wuxi’s formations.

All killing intent disappeared, transforming into a qilin that continuously devoured the evil spirits.

Ye Linshuang, who had been pressed back by evil spirits, now supported by this sword formation, was like an autumn goose riding the long wind, charging into the Demon Capital in one breath.

Lu Xiaochan’s emotions surged, and he clenched his fist.

When the qilin vanished, most of the thick evil spirits had been refined. Everyone looked at Shu Wuxi’s calm and detached appearance with stunned expressions.

Even Miaochen Yuan bowed to Shu Wuxi, confirming he was indeed the Sword Master from the Wuyi Jingtian.

Lu Xiaochan saw their various expressions of worship, disbelief, and reverence, unsure whether he should feel proud.

But Shu Wuxi remained expressionless, seeming almost imperceptible if not for that sword formation.

At this time, Lianyue, after releasing the “Heaven’s Palace” sword formation to destroy the Demon Infant, was also utterly exhausted.

He knew that even with his heart nearby, he lacked the strength to retrieve it.

What a waste of the Sword Master Yang Cang’s Heaven’s Palace sword formation.

Lianyue self-deprecatingly smiled, suddenly wanting to know how he appeared in Ye Linshuang’s eyes.

At the moment he closed his eyes, a figure broke through the evil spirits, scattering pure white frost flowers in all directions!

Lianyue’s heart trembled. He opened his eyes wide, seeing Ye Linshuang holding the Lianyue Sword, riding the sword past him, grabbing Lianyue’s collar and lifting him up.

“How… did you come!”

Lianyue, who had already accepted everything, was like awakening from a deep dream.

“If it’s the karmic fire of purgatory, who besides me could retrieve your heart?”

Ye Linshuang softly laughed, but Lianyue was almost driven mad.

“Leave here! Immediately! Otherwise, when Sword Master Yang Cang seals this place, you’ll never return!”

Lianyue’s eyes turned red, his emotions in complete turmoil.

“If I can’t return, then I’ll stay here with you, Martial Uncle.”

“You don’t know how much I’ve…”

“Suffered just to save me? Do you know that I’m a Lie spirit beast, the coldest spirit beast that can enter purgatory, while you cannot!”

Ye Linshuang’s body made crackling sounds, instantly transforming into a silver-white Lie spirit beast, charging into the purgatory’s karmic fire.

“Linshuang—” Lianyue cried out, barely touching him.

Ye Linshuang went without hesitation. The Linshuang Sword sensed its master’s intention, blocking Lianyue’s chest, firmly preventing him from approaching the purgatory.

Lianyue activated his sword formation, experiencing intense pain in his elixir core. Numerous evil spirits constricted him, nearly causing him to fall from his sword.

Although Ye Linshuang’s true form was the coldest spirit beast, the purgatory’s karmic burned his skin and flesh, gradually melting him. In the depths of purgatory, he finally saw Lianyue’s heart!

Enduring excruciating pain, Ye Linshuang swallowed Lianyue’s heart, protecting it within his body, and turned to escape the purgatory.

He grew weaker, the karmic burning into his bones. He could sense Lianyue trying to break through the Linshuang Sword’s obstruction, but his mind was made up, determined never to let Lianyue suffer again.

Martial Uncle, let me protect you this time!

Ye Linshuang, covered in bloody flesh, burst out of the purgatory.

Lianyue was almost insane. He had never seen Ye Linshuang so severely injured, with most of his flesh gone, karmic fire burning between his exposed bones.

“Linshuang… Linshuang…”

Though his heart was not in his body, the pain was unbearable.

A thousand years of purgatory suffering could not compare to this moment.

He wanted to hold Ye Linshuang tightly but dared not even touch him.

Ye Linshuang struggled to transform back to human form, leaning toward Lianyue, gently touching his lips and returning the heart to Lianyue.

Lianyue finally understood that a thousand years of karmic fire could not match the sight of his beloved, completely wounded.

“Martial Uncle… this is the last thing I can do for you…”

In that instant, Lianyue realized that besides his heart, Ye Linshuang had also sent a Purification Spell into his body.

The medical spell instantly permeated his five organs, pure and profound. Such a powerful spell could only be cast by a highly skilled medical cultivator.

The stronger the purification power of the spell, the more extraordinary the borrowed energy.

As the spell thoroughly purified and repaired Lianyue’s elixir core, he saw Ye Linshuang seemingly losing all strength, continuously falling, reverting to his original form and becoming smaller, as if he had not grown in over a thousand years, turning back into a young Lie spirit beast.

Lianyue dove down and caught the young beast.

His elixir sea now full, he gritted his teeth facing the layered evil spirits.

Ye Linshuang had closed his eyes, breathing weak and dying.

Lianyue transferred his spiritual energy into Ye Linshuang’s body, holding him tightly, preventing any evil qi from harming him.

Above Xiyuan, the immortal sects could no longer restrain themselves.

“If the Sword Master Yang Cang is here, please lead us to seal the Hopeless land!”

“What are we waiting for! While the Demon Capital’s momentum is suppressed, let’s attack together!”

Lu Xiaochan looked at Shu Wuxi, finding him expressionless, still indifferent to everything.

Miaochen Yuan turned to Shu Wuxi, “Senior, we should act now.”

Lu Xiaochan’s emotions tightened. Although he knew that in the face of greater righteousness, personal feelings were insignificant, he still hoped to see Lianyue and Ye Linshuang return.
