As the figure landed, another figure soared through the air and appeared on the mountain peak where Du Shaofu was at in a ghostly manner, completely silent and undetectable.
"Puchi …"
In an ancient and vast space, an otherworldly woman with her eyes closed suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My heart feels like it's being stabbed. Why is it like this?"
The girl's eyes reddened as her body trembled. She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, as though someone was digging her heart out. She murmured, "Everyone says that twins can share the same sentiments. My dear brother, are you the one suffering right now?"
… … …
Energy fluctuated. Within the ancient space, a beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged. She was also as arrogant as ever.
"Chi chi …"
Suddenly, the beautiful woman opened her eyes. She placed one hand on her chest. Her eyes flickered, and her face was pale. Her chest was trembling from the intense pain. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
… … …
On the mountain peak, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair came. He was wearing a dark robe and it was unknown how long it had been since he last washed it. He looked like a beggar.
However, one could vaguely see that under his disheveled hair was an extremely handsome face.
The person walked towards Du Shaofu. His eyes were slightly red and moist, and he stumbled all the way as if he was drunk.
"You're not lucky. You're not as lucky as Shaojing. You silly boy."
The middle-aged man walked towards Du Shaofu. He waved his hand and a dazzling light enveloped Du Shaofu's chest, stopping Du Shaofu's bleeding.
"Second Young Master, give this item to this child too!"
After he sighed, Elder Ming appeared on the mountain peak. A long leaf appeared in his hand. The leaf was glowing and the mysterious runes on it shone brightly. It attracted the energy of heaven and earth.
On Elder Ming's wrinkled face, his eyes sighed. The leaf in his hand was folded into the shape of a heart. It was wrapped in mysterious runes and he passed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Elder Ming. He nodded slightly and stuffed the leaf into Du Shaofu's chest. A vast amount of energy surged into Du Shaofu's chest.
Du Shaofu still stood tall and straight as he gazed at Elder Ming, and a dazzling and powerful 'heart' throbbed within his palm as he tossed it over and said, "Quickly go save my younger sister. Remember what you promised me, otherwise, I'll absolutely not let all of you off even if I'm in the netherworld!"
"I've sinned. I've sinned …"
Elder Ming took Du Shaofu's' heart '. Light rippled on his wrinkled face and he left.
"It's finally done."
High up in the sky, Protector Qing Yu looked at Du Shaofu, who was on the mountain peak, with a cold glint in her eyes. Then, she left with Elder Ming.
"Who are you?"
On the mountain peak, Du Shaofu looked at the middle-aged man with disheveled hair. His face was pale, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were white.
"Your mother called me Second Brother."
The middle-aged man's hand seals changed and the light faded. The blood on Du Shaofu's chest had stopped, and it seemed to have healed.
"Oh."
Du Shaofu nodded slightly. He looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Can I leave now?"
"You shouldn't have come here. It's better to leave this place as soon as possible. You shouldn't have come here."
The middle-aged man nodded. He turned his head to look at the glowing figure in the sky. His eyes seemed to ripple under his disheveled hair. His voice was still hoarse as he said, "My beloved Big Brother, just give him what you promised him. He exchanged his' heart 'for it."
"Chi."
The flowing light in the sky fluctuated, and a Qiankun Bag fell. Then, the gentle voice continued, "Second Brother, pay attention to your status. Send him out of the clan. Return to where he came from."
As the voice faded, the glowing figure slowly disappeared. That terrifying aura also disappeared from the surroundings.
"This is the Boundless Wood. Keep it well. It was exchanged with your life."
The middle-aged man handed the Qiankun Bag to Du Shaofu. Then, he handed a pill to Du Shaofu and said, "This is the Vitality Pill. It can keep you alive for a short period of time. As for how long it can keep you alive, I don't know. Everything will depend on the will of the heavens. I hope a miracle will happen in the remaining time. This is all I can do for you."
Du Shaofu didn't say anything. He took the pill from the middle-aged man and stuffed it into his mouth. His body became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't hold on any longer. Finally, he fainted.
…
Stone City, Du Family.
Late at night, it was still brightly lit.
"So ruthless, so ruthless. How can they be so ruthless?"
In a room in the courtyard, Zhen Qingchun's illusory body trembled. His inverted triangular eyes were filled with rage and chilling intent. He viciously slammed his hand down, causing a wooden table in the room to shatter into pieces.
"Brother Qingchun, what happened to Shaofu?"
Du Xiaoman looked at the young man lying on the bed. His face was pale, his breathing was weak, and his body was covered in blood. Her eyes were wet with worry. Hearing Zhen Qingchun's words, she became even more nervous.
"Heart Gouge, his heart has been gouged out."
"It's all my fault. I knew I couldn't let him go alone. Nothing good will come out of those people's arrival. It's all my fault. Those bastards, no matter who they are, I, Zhen Qing Chun, swear that I won't let them go!" Zhen Qing Chun's eyes were filled with anger as he shouted, "It's all my fault. I knew I couldn't let him go alone.
"Heart Gouge …"
Hearing this, Du Xiaoman's body trembled violently. Her delicate body staggered and sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes instantly turned white.
"Cough …"
On the bed, Du Shaofu coughed softly. His eyelashes moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes. Two familiar faces appeared in front of him.
"How did I come back?"
Looking at the two familiar faces, Du Shaofu's pale face revealed a smile.
"Seven days ago, you suddenly lay at the gate. We didn't know who sent you back. Third Brother, what happened to you? Don't scare me!"
Du Xiaoman was worried. Seven days ago, someone found Du Shaofu at the gate. His body was covered in blood and his breathing was weak. The whole Du Family was worried.
"It's been so many days. I didn't think I would still be alive."
Du Shaofu struggled to stand up. He smiled bitterly. It seemed that those people had sent him back.
"Did they do it?" Zhen Qingchun looked at Du Shaofu and asked, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
With the help of his elder sister Du Xiaoman, Du Shaofu stood up dispiritedly. The Purple Gold Heavenly Tower was still on his body. He let out a sigh of relief and looked at Zhen Qingchun. "Brother Qingchun, do you know everything?"
"You don't even have a heart. How could I not know? You're still alive because there's life force in your body supporting you. There's a treasure in your chest, but all of this can't last for long. The heart is the most important of the five organs. There's no way to reverse the situation. What did they do to you?"
Zhen Qingchun asked as he stared at Du Shaofu. His illusory eyes were filled with rage, and they were also moist.
"I did it myself."
Du Shaofu looked at Zhen Qingchun and smiled.
Hearing this, Zhen Qingchun seemed to understand something. His illusory body trembled and he asked, "I understand now. Your sister's illness has something to do with the heart. They needed your heart, so they came to find you. Is that right?"
"It's all in the past."
Du Shaofu didn't say much. He looked at his elder sister Du Xiaoman and said, "Elder sister, uncle and the others don't know about this yet, right?"
"My father and second uncle only know that you're seriously injured. They don't know that even your 'heart' is …"
Du Xiaoman's words were on the tip of her tongue, but her throat began to choke. She had heard Zhen Qingchun's serious words just now. What's more, if one's' heart 'was not there, how could one live?
"Promise me that you won't tell uncle and second uncle. I don't want them to worry," Du Shaofu said to Du Xiaoman.
Du Xiaoman choked with sobs and nodded. She looked at Du Shaofu and said, "What about you? What will you do?"
"I don't have much time left."
Du Shaofu felt that although there was still life in his body, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
In addition, he had used the Heavenly Palace of Purple Gold. There was also a terrifying Evil Spirit in his body that even the Golden-winged Roc Technique couldn't suppress. Misfortunes never come singly. This time, Du Shaofu knew that he really wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
"By the way, Brother Qingchun, I found what you wanted. See if it's the Endless Wood. However, it doesn't seem to be the bark of the Endless Wood. It's a section. I don't know if it'll be useful to you." Du Shaofu handed a Qiankun Bag to Zhen Qingchun.
Zhen Qingchun was slightly stunned. He opened the Qiankun Bag and an arm-length branch emitted a multicolored light. Energy fluctuated and an endless aura fluctuated.
"Endless Wood. This is the branch of the Endless Wood. It's much better than the bark. I really need this kind of treasure."
Zhen Qingchun was shocked. Then, he was pleasantly surprised. However, his expression changed immediately. He looked at Du Shaofu and asked, "Did you exchange for this?"
Du Shaofu shook his head and said to Zhen Qingchun, "How long can I live?"
"I don't know. No one can live without a heart. You're already a miracle now. You're also supported by the life in your body."
Zhen Qingchun's gaze was extremely serious. He thought of countless methods in his mind, but none of them worked.
"Is that so …"
Du Shaofu was absent-minded for a moment. Then, he said to Du Xiaoman, "Big Sister, has anyone from the imperial capital come to Stone City recently?"
