It was only after he relaxed that the white-robed cultivator felt his entire body aching. His spirit energy was almost depleted and his clothes were already drenched in sweat, sticking to his body.
His stamina was already at its limits after that escape!
Instinctively, the white-robed sword cultivator looked towards Su Zimo.
What he saw gave him a fright.
Under normal circumstances, Su Zimo was at the front and took on most of the impact. He released the Candlelight Sword Formation and released that terrifying spirit art and was naturally the most drained.
But now, Su Zimo was standing on the spot with a calm expression. His breathing was long and steady, as though he still had energy left – he wasn't even sweating!
What sort of stamina was that?
Was he a monster?
The white-robed sword cultivator took out a few elixirs and swallowed them. After catching his breath, he cupped his fists towards Su Zimo and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Su. I'm Li Ziyue, a cultivator of Misty Peak. I was initially out traveling and only returned a few days ago."
Su Zimo nodded and shifted his gaze towards Li Ziyue's sleeve.
There was an image of a flying sword tattooed there.
That was the symbol of Spirit Peak's peak master!
Xuan Yi said, "Ziyue is one of the few cultivators in the sect who comprehended the Jin Dan phenomenon. Furthermore, he's a sword cultivator and can be considered as the number one cultivator of the Jin Dan realm in the sect. Now that he's back, he's taking over the position of peak master of Spirit Peak. "
"I'm ashamed,"
Li Ziyue shook his head hurriedly and smiled bitterly. "I'm not worthy of being the number one cultivator of the Jin Dan realm. Fellow Daoist Su, your strength is above mine. Truly, it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you. Impressive. "
In the cultivation world, cultivators had lifespans of up to thousands of years and strength reigned supreme.
Right now, although Su Zimo was only a young man in his twenties, he had already formed his core and was on the same level as Li Ziyue. There was no problem for the two of them to address each other as fellow Daoists.
If Li Ziyue were to speak to Su Zimo with the tone of an elder just because he was more than a hundred years old, he would be insensible.
It might not be a big deal within the same sect.
However, if they were to fight outside, there was a high chance of death!
"Peak Xuan Yi, how did the three of you enter this place?"
Su Zimo changed the topic, feeling puzzled.
What was it that made the three Chiefs of Misty Peak descend the mountain at the same time?
Xuan Yi sighed. "Your master's foundation was damaged during the battle at Misty Peak and needs a Calamity Surmounting Pill to heal. Otherwise, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that he'll fail and die in his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. "
Su Zimo felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that the old man was injured, but he didn't expect the impact to be so great!
"The Crossing Adversity Pill is a Rank 3 Spirit Pill. There are a few Spirit Herbs in it that are too hard to find. I couldn't find them in the various markets. However, there are some rumors that we might be able to find these spirit herbs in the Great Qian Ruins. That's why we came. "
Xuan Yi continued, "I didn't find those few spirit herbs at the periphery of the ruins. I didn't listen to Ziyue's advice and entered the center of the ruins … Sigh, I almost lost my life here. I've harmed everyone."
"Cough cough!"
Right then, Liu Hui who was lying in Xuan Yi's embrace coughed gently. Opening her mouth slightly, she spat out a pool of black blood with a sinister malevolent qi.
Su Zimo glanced sideways with a calm expression.
However, Li Ziyue's gaze froze as he realized that something was amiss. "Malevolent qi has entered the blood!"
"Liu Hui, how are you?"
Xuan Yi's expression changed starkly as he took out a few jade bottles hurriedly. Opening the stoppers in a fluster, he fed the elixirs within to Liu Hui.
"It's useless."
Liu Hui sighed gently.
As long as the malevolent qi did not enter the bloodline, elixirs and the rich spirit energy of Jin Dan realm could resolve it.
However, her injuries were way too severe!
The malevolent qi had already entered her bloodline and was corroding her heart as well.
Before long, her heart would stop beating.
"Don't, don't …"
Xuan Yi's heart was in a mess as his voice trembled.
Naturally, he could sense that Liu Hui's condition was getting worse. Her body was turning colder and her heartbeat was slowing down as well!
However, there was nothing Xuan Yi could do about this situation.
If Liu Hui drank the fresh blood of a pure-blooded ferocious beast, she might be able to resist the malevolent qi in her bloodline.
However, right now, they were in the ruins with countless otherworldly soldiers patrolling their surroundings – they could not get out at all.
The surroundings were silent. Apart from the few of them, there were no other living beings, let alone pure-blooded ferocious beasts.
Right then, Su Zimo suddenly arrived before Liu Hui and squatted down. A wound appeared on his wrist – it was clear that he had just cut it.
Su Zimo placed the wound on his wrist beside Liu Hui's lips.
The wound healed the moment a single drop of blood flowed out!
Xuan Yi's mind was in a mess as he watched everything unfold instinctively.
That drop of blood shone with a divine light and exuded a pure and terrifying aura.
The moment the drop of blood entered Liu Hui's mouth, it released a massive amount of energy that surged through her limbs like a tornado!
The malevolent qi in Liu Hui's body could not defend against it at all and was expelled by the energy before long.
Her heart thumped vigorously!
How was this like consuming a single drop of blood?
It was as though she had swallowed a blazing sun!
The entire process happened in the span of a few breaths.
By the time Xuan Yi returned to his senses, Liu Hui's face had already regained some color and her body was gradually warming up. Even the massive wound on her abdomen was starting to heal!
"This …?"
Xuan Yi and Li Ziyue were stunned.
Although there was a saying in the cultivation world that blood was like lead mercury and tides, the power of bloodline was way too far away for cultivators who focused on spirit energy and Dharmic arts.
Most cultivators did not have a direct understanding of the power of bloodline either.
But now, Li Ziyue and Xuan Yi, two Golden Cores whose combined ages were almost 500 years old, had finally witnessed what the power of bloodline was!
Li Ziyue sized up Su Zimo from head to toe as though he was looking at a monster and lamented internally, "A single drop of blood contains such immense power. It's no wonder his stamina is so strong."
A while later.
Liu Hui's condition was much better and she could barely walk with Xuan Yi's support.
"Thank you, Zimo,"
Delighted, Xuan Yi turned to thank him hurriedly.
Looking at the otherworldly soldiers gathered outside, Su Zimo frowned and said in a deep voice, "Peak Master Liu Hui is fine now. Let's continue heading in and leave the sight of those otherworldly soldiers first."
Although the otherworldly soldiers could not barge in, it might not be a good thing for them to be gathered here.
"Alright!"
Xuan Yi supported Liu Hui and the three of them followed behind Su Zimo, heading into the depths of the forbidden ground.
Along the way, Su Zimo walked and stopped occasionally to check out his surroundings.
Through the many traces left behind, Su Zimo deduced that there was a high chance that this was a woman's bedroom in the past.
Judging from the size of this place and the intricate architecture, this woman must have had a high status in the palace in the past!
Su Zimo led Xuan Yi and the other two through the place and disappeared from the sight of the otherworldly soldiers before long.
After all, the otherworldly soldiers outside did not have much intelligence and began to disperse after loitering for a while.
