"Soul as the guide, the profound chant repeats!"
Yun Xiao, whose mind was in a haze, suppressed the feeling of almost fainting, and a low chant akin to a religious singing erged from his mouth. Imdiately, it seed as if a mysterious force entered the bamboo whistle in his hand, releasing an invisible fluctuation.
"Co out!"
With these eight characters as a true phrase, Yun Xiao seed to return to his peak in that instant. His eyes flashing fiercely, after a loud shout, the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, which had been stationary on Xuan Jing’s wrist for so ti, burst forth directly from the body.
"This... this is..."
The Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm is transparent and almost invisible inside a human body, yet the mont it attacked from Xuan Jing’s body, it transford into a small worm emitting a faint light, and without hesitation, it darted toward the bamboo whistle in Yun Xiao’s hand.
"Good timing!"
Yun Xiao was waiting for just such an opportunity. The profound sound from the whistle was only a ans to attract the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, but to completely remove it, everything depended on this mont.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao reached at his Waist Storage, and a black pouch suddenly appeared in his left hand. He then turned the mouth of the bag, and the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm directly burrowed into the black pouch, after which he stored it inside his Waist Storage.
The change of events in this mont was as quick as a lightning strike. By the ti everyone regained their senses, the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm had already disappeared.
Many cast subtle glances towards Yun Xiao’s white Waist Storage, especially Ran Xing, whose eyes seed about to spew fire. He truly had not expected that at this critical juncture, Yun Xiao could still pull off such a powerful scene.
Earlier, Ran Xing did not believe that Yun Xiao could last until the final mont, and even though the latter endured, he was confident that after the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm erged, he could secretly kill this fellow here.
It is known that the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm is a special thod of Ran Xing, and his control over it could even compare to his control over the ridian Spirit.
Yun Xiao, alias Bo Ku, had only the Cultivation of the ridian Rushing Realm Late Stage after all. Ran Xing believed that as long as he controlled the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, he could even turn Yun Xiao into another dormant person like Xuan Jing.
Little did he know that the mysterious power of Yun Xiao’s bamboo whistle’s sound seed to montarily wrest the control of the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm from even Ran Xing, the initiator, catching him completely off guard.
Yet Yun Xiao’s movents were so swift, and who knows what the black pouch was made of, as it instantly took away the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm. How could this not shock and enrage Ran Xing?
Ran Xing was shocked by the ans of Yun Xiao, but the anger in his heart was even greater, for the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm was a treasure he had finally obtained from a hidden place, and now that it was taken by Yun Xiao, how could he just let it go?
However, under these circumstances, Ran Xing could not ask Yun Xiao to return it openly, which would be like admitting that he was responsible for Xuan Jing’s current condition.
Once the matter was exposed, even Xianging Xuanyue as the Crown Prince of the Empire might not be able to protect Ran Xing. Thus, he could only swallow his grievances for now.
But after this incident, the na Bo Ku was probably on Ran Xing’s blacklist. If there was a chance, he would definitely strike fiercely to take back his own Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm.
"Humph..."
Amid this absolute silence, a muffled grunt suddenly ca from sowhere. When everyone turned to follow the sound, they saw that Bo Ku, who had just captured the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, slightly staggered and almost fell.
"Mr. Bo Ku!"
Seeing this, Xuan Haoran was greatly startled and was about to step forward to support him, unexpectedly, a fragrant breeze arrived, and another person moved faster than him, stabilizing the about to faint Yun Xiao.
"Ah, this ti, it was really a miscalculation!"
Yun Xiao slled a familiar fragrance and knew Liu Hanyi was the one supporting him. A bitter smile appeared on his face, yet the excitent in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
Though this ti Yun Xiao barely managed and even sustained internal injuries, the final outco was undoubtedly satisfying, and the capture of a Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm alone made it extrely worthwhile.
"Are you alright?"
Listening to Yun Xiao’s emotional voice, Liu Hanyi asked concernedly, and then reached out her hand to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sensation in her heart.
Even though the current Yun Xiao was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, this fellow, acting as the Royal Thief, had ventured deep into the Imperial Palace and eventually truly made a difference in Xuan Jing’s condition.
Such audacity, such ans, far beyond what Liu Hanyi knew of the younger generation in the Xuanyue.
Adding on to the techniques displayed by Yun Xiao, it strengthened Liu Hanyi’s belief that he could cure her hidden ailnt. If that were truly the case, she would owe Yun Xiao a trendous favor.
"No worries, it’s just excessive consumption of Soul Power!"
Yun Xiao felt the softness at the corners of his mouth, his mind swayed, and it seed even his weakened body wasn’t that hard to endure anymore. He managed a small smile and responded.
However, what Yun Xiao said was not without reason. To activate the bamboo whistle’s mystical sound, besides needing strong ridian Qi, it required the enhancent of Soul Power; otherwise, it wouldn’t have lured out the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm.
Now Yun Xiao was drained of both Qi and Soul, even if a cultivator from the ridian Gathering Realm ca, he might not be able to escape unscathed. Luckily, here in the Xuanyue Royal Family, considering he might cure the Second Prince Xuan Jing, presumably no one would dare make a move, right?
"That... Mr. Bo Ku..."
Right when Yun Xiao and Liu Hanyi were softly conversing, an inappropriate light laughter suddenly ca from the side, causing everyone’s gaze to swiftly turn towards it. The speaker was none other than Ran Xing, the Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master.
Ran Xing paid no attention to the onlookers’ gazes but stared at Yun Xiao with implications, saying, "Sir, I am very curious about that Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, I wonder if you could part with it to allow so research?"
As soon as Ran Xing spoke, the others looked even more strangely at him. His words implied he wanted the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, but that was Bo Ku’s spoils of war. Why should he give it to you?
At this mont, Ran Xing seed to have forgotten how he had mocked and ridiculed Yun Xiao earlier. The Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm was extrely important to him. Even knowing the slim chances, he had to try.
Besides, Ran Xing, priding himself as an Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master, if a small individual of Mortal Rank Advanced had any self-awareness, wouldn’t offend him to death, right?
"Hehe, Mr. Ran Xing wants the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm so badly, could it be you have so special connection with it?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao forced a smile on his face, which made Ran Xing’s face twitch violently, and he also subtly guessed that this Mr. Bo Ku might have figured out sothing.
Even Xuan Haoran on the other side was moved. It was indeed quite mysterious that Xuan Jing remained asleep, and despite so many ridian Refiners being called in, none could diagnose the ailnt. It was too strange.
It just so happened that upon Bo Ku’s arrival, claiming he had a solution, Ran Xing appeared. If there was no connection, it probably couldn’t be justified.
However, Xuan Haoran couldn’t accuse an Earth Rank Low Level ridian Refining Master without proof, and at this mont, there were more important matters to attend to.
"Great! Great! Ran Xing, you are the first one to deny face!"
Knowing he had no hope to get back the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, Ran Xing could only utter this threatening phrase, then changed the conversation, pointing at the still unconscious Xuan Jing, saying, "But sir, it seems you have forgotten sothing?"
"Earlier, you said not only to awaken the Second Prince but also to restore his ridian Qi Cultivation to its peak. I shouldn’t have rembered incorrectly, right?"
Pointing at Xuan Jing, Ran Xing spoke confidently, and with those words, Xuan Haoran and the empress turned their hopeful gazes towards Yun Xiao, thinking this guy really did say that earlier.
When Ran Xing first ca here, although he could save Xuan Jing’s life, he declared that the Second Prince could never cultivate again. Later, Bo Ku ca out, saying not only could he awaken Xuan Jing but also restore his cultivation talent to its original state.
Initially, Xuan Haoran and the empress just hoped that Xuan Jing could survive, without considering the rest, but now, the insatiable nature of humanity was showing.
"I indeed ntioned that before..."
"Well then, please Mr. Bo Ku, show us another demonstration of your skills!"
As Yun Xiao was just beginning to reply, Ran Xing interrupted loudly, his tone full of mockery, as if believing this task was utterly impossible.
Indeed, the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm was originally released by Ran Xing, and he was very clear about the effects of this toxic worm. Moreover, Xuan Jing had been eroded for so long, and the Qi within his body had long been devoured by the Energy-devouring Worm.
In such a case, even Ran Xing himself, who had reached the Earth Rank Low Level as a ridian Refining Master, might not be able to restore Xuan Jing’s cultivation talent, not to ntion the re Mortal Rank Advanced ridian Refiner Yun Xiao.
Perhaps only those at least reaching the Heaven Rank ridian Refiner, harnessing the powerful forces of heaven and earth, might have a sliver of hope. But in this little Hidden Dragon Continent, how could there possibly be a Heaven Rank ridian Refiner?
