Dafeng didn’t scream harshly but instead signaled for Ji Youzhi to climb onto its back. It was its master’s order to prepare for a breakthrough.
Ji Youzhi didn’t understand what Dafeng ant. Instead, he searched in the direction where Xiaosuisui had been dropped earlier. From a distance, he saw Xunyang’s Clone, the National Master, and Emperor Dugu Xiao entangled together.
No!
More precisely, the Emperor, the National Master, and Dugu Xiao were being tightly gripped by their respective necks by black tentacles materialized from the Witch Power in Xunyang’s Clone’s hands!
The expressions on their faces were agonizing. The Emperor, who possessed martial prowess but lacked significant Cultivation, was already turning purple.
Ji Youzhi was aghast. He drew his long sword and thrust it towards the back of Xunyang’s Clone. However, before he could get close, a small figure leaped up from a distance. Her right fist was clenched tight, blazing flas erupting from it. Ji Youzhi, his eyes wide with disbelief, hastily stopped himself mid-action.
He watched, stunned, as Xiaosuisui’s tiny fist fiercely landed on the right shoulder bone of Xunyang’s Clone.
The continuous CRACKING sound of bones breaking echoed in his ears, and flas instantly ignited on Xunyang’s body!
"AH! PHOENIX FIRE! DAMN IT! How can you control Phoenix Fire barehanded?! AHH..."
Xunyang’s voice, trembling and rent, was horrifying to hear!
Xiaosuisui stood silently, not answering. Instead, she swiftly removed the small bell from her neck and perford a hand seal. The bell instantly emitted a golden glow.
Xiaosuisui’s hands didn’t stop moving. She made the bell grow larger and larger, until it was big enough to cover a person. Finally, just as Xunyang’s Clone, seething with unwillingness and rage, was about to pounce on Emperor Yuansheng, she trapped it within the bell!
Only then did everyone heave a collective, huge sigh of relief.
Xie Pan’Er, who was supporting Princess Ata, blinked in disbelief. She felt as if she had just woken from a nightmare.
Dugu Xiao sprang up from the ground and instinctively walked towards the Soul-Calling Bell, which had transford from a small bell into a large, bell-shaped cover. He asked in amazent, "Grand Princess, may I ask what this is? It looks to like you perford a magic trick, conjuring such a great treasure out of nowhere! Hey! If you had this treasure, why didn’t you take it out sooner? You made us terribly anxious, and we nearly died!"
Ji Youzhi walked over and glared fiercely at him. "Do you think everyone is a fool like you? Who would dare take such a risk without being absolutely sure of success?"
Hearing this, Dugu Xiao rubbed his head and couldn’t help but say, "I was just kidding. We all just barely survived a calamity, right? You! You have no sense of humor at all!"
Ji Youzhi glared fiercely at him again but said nothing.
"PTOO..."
A mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed out, landing directly on the Soul-Calling Bell.
Everyone was greatly shocked.
"Suisui!" they all exclaid in unison.
The National Master rushed forward, stuffed an Elixir into Xiaosuisui’s mouth, and helped her into a seated ditative posture to circulate his energy and heal her injuries.
"How could this be? Suisui clearly wasn’t injured by Xunyang’s Clone! Why did she suddenly vomit blood?"
Dugu Xiao murmured worriedly to himself, completely bewildered.
Princess Ata, her face deathly pale, sat down with Xie Pan’Er’s support and explained weakly, "The Grand Princess carries several hundred years of Power forcibly infused into her by Old Island Master Yun. Her Cultivation is insufficient, and she is too young, so under normal circumstances, she cannot easily draw upon this Power. But just now, to shatter Xunyang’s Clone internally and destroy its bodily functions from the inside out, she had to forcibly mobilize those hundreds of years of Power that Old Island Master Yun infused into her to succeed! Now, because she forcibly used that Power, her ridians are damaged. I’m afraid she’ll be unconscious for quite so ti."
Everyone understood Princess Ata’s explanation.
"You an she’s not in life-threatening danger, right?" everyone asked in unison.
Only Li Yanyan thought, Why is it just a ridian injury? Why didn’t she just die? With her around, I’ll always be the one who’s ignored!
Indeed, at this very mont, Li Yanyan truly felt she was being overlooked again.
Normally, when everyone else was fawning over Li Suisui, she still had her Master, who would care for and cherish her. But just now, she had seen her Master rush to Li Suisui’s side before anyone else could even react. He had fed her an Elixir and was now personally healing her!
Her heart ached, as if a large stone was lodged there, making her feel aggrieved and resentful.
No one knew what Li Yanyan was thinking; none of them paid her the slightest attention. At this mont, all their gazes were fixed on Xiaosuisui.
Even though they clearly heard Princess Ata say, "Rest assured, Suisui is not in any life-threatening danger. Her body possesses a strong self-healing ability. In a few days, she will have healed on her own. When she wakes up, she will be that adorable Xiaosuisui once more!"
「A quarter of an hour later」
The National Master finally withdrew his power. He reached out to pick up Xiaosuisui, intending to take her back to the Daoist Temple to recuperate.
However, before he could, Ji Youzhi had already picked Xiaosuisui up.
"Thank you, National Master, for healing my Suisui. The Ji Family will consider this a favor owed to you. If you ever need anything in the future, I make you this promise!"
The National Master initially paid no mind to Ji Youzhi’s words. His heart was detached from worldly affairs, and the promise of a Noble Family from the mortal realm held no value for him.
However, sothing suddenly seed to occur to him. He gave a low chuckle and nodded. "You said it yourself. If I truly have a need in the future, I trust Divine Hunter Ji will not forget today’s words!"
Ji Youzhi nodded firmly. "I certainly won’t forget!"
