Everyone was astonished.
Ye Zichen suddenly woke up. Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei stared at his majestic back, their eyes filled with shock.
However, Xiao Yumei's eyes were filled with even more joy than astonishment.
"Zichen, you're awake!"
Xiao Yumei called out his name in delight, but Ye Zichen, who was standing just half a meter in front of her, acted as if he couldn't hear her.
His gaze was fixed on Bai Jinsheng, and his hand was tightly gripping his arm.
In contrast to Xiao Yumei's delight, Pu Jingwan furrowed her brows when she saw this.
As a bounty hunter in the Outside, she spent eighty percent of her time out on missions. She was bound to get injured on missions, so in her spare time, she studied medicine. As time went by, her medical skills had earned her a reputation in the Outside.
She was certain that Ye Zichen's injuries were severe. His heart was damaged, his meridians were broken, and his internal organs had deviated from their original positions. Injuries like this couldn't be healed with just a few pills. He'd have to receive systematic treatment first.
Before his injuries healed, never mind waking up, he'd be hanging on the edge of a cliff.
But now, he'd woken up, taken Bai Mingli's attack for her, and grabbed Bai Jinsheng's arm with his bare hands.
What kind of figures were these two ancestors? Even the God of Wine, Drunkenness, couldn't last more than a hundred moves against them. Furthermore, Pu Jingwan was an emperor-level ruler. There was no way Bai Mingli hadn't sensed her. Bai Mingli's attack couldn't have suppressed her casually.
Ye Zichen was at the diviner level, yet he'd taken it head-on and wasn't injured in the slightest.
How could he do this?
The two Bai Family patriarchs' expressions grew solemn. Ye Zichen's eyes shone with a purple light, like a pillar of light. It was terrifying, and the illusory figure behind him ….
The illusory figure's head reached the sky and his feet touched the ground. Just like Ye Zichen's, his eyes glowed with purple light.
A surging pressure emanated from the illusory figure. Anyone who met its gaze would feel their temperature plummet, as if they'd fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Bai Jinsheng's senses were the most direct. As Ye Zichen stared at him, a familiar yet unfamiliar emotion welled up in his heart.
After a while, he confirmed that this emotion ….
He was trembling!
It was a trembling that emanated from the depths of his soul!
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt this way, but the young man in front of him, who exuded the aura of a Celestial Being, made him feel this way. The Bai Family clansmen surrounding the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's yao servants all stopped in their tracks. Their eyes brimmed with terror as they looked at Ye Zichen. The appearance of the demonic shadow doubled the pressure on them, and their skin all over their body felt vaguely stinging. It wasn't that the Devil's shadow had actually touched them, but …
This kind of pressure makes them vulnerable.
"Don't touch her!" Ye Zichen muttered.
"Zichen?"
At that moment, Xiao Yumei felt that Ye Zichen was acting strangely. She called out his name softly and looked at him nervously.
Even the Bai Family patriarchs, who hadn't dared to act rashly, sensed something was wrong. They looked at Ye Zichen, and before long, heard him mutter again.
"Don't touch her."
Suddenly, the two Patriarchs looked at each other.
When he saw Bai Mingli attack Xiao Yumei, Ye Zichen, who grabbed Bai Jinsheng's arm, immediately dashed over and punched.
"Don't touch her!"
When he saw Ye Zichen attack, Bai Mingli instantly stopped.
Just now, he hadn't really wanted to kill Xiao Yumei. He was just testing her.
Judging from Ye Zichen's reaction, the patriarchs already understood his situation.
"He has no will of his own. He's just an obsession in his heart."
As one lived for a long time, one would naturally see more of such things. They had seen people who were on the brink of death suddenly awaken without any self-awareness. They only relied on a wisp of obsession to protect the important people they wanted to protect, and they had seen this before.
In order to do this, someone or something had to hold a certain weight in their heart.
Ye Zichen was just like that. Everything he did was unconscious.
But what about the image behind him?
Was it a dharma body?
The Bai Family patriarchs couldn't help but look at each other. They were all familiar with the one hundred and eight dharma bodies. Could it be that this dharma body existed outside of the one hundred and eight recorded in the records?
But did dharma bodies like this really exist?
It was tens of thousands of feet tall, and the pressure it emanated made even the patriarchs feel pressured!
"Zichen."
Xiao Yumei called out, but Pu Jingwan reached out and grabbed her. Pu Jingwan shook her head. By now, Pu Jingwan understood Ye Zichen's situation.
He'd sensed Xiao Yumei was in danger, and based on his obsession, he'd controlled his body to protect her.
"Jingwan, what's going on with Zichen?" Xiao Yumei's eyes were filled with worry. Pu Jingwan looked at Xiao Yumei's worried expression, then at Ye Zichen's back. She sighed in admiration. "He really does love you. You don't need to know anything else. Just remember this."
So someone like that really did exist!
Pu Jingwan couldn't help but sigh. Ever since she'd arrived in the Third Era, she'd come into contact with far too many things she'd never come into contact with before, yet she'd always heard about them from the older generation.
A peerless expert of the Primordial Era had such a sincere, faithful, and devoted obsession ….
"Ye Zichen, you've really taught me a lesson."
….
"Hmph, how laughable."
When he heard that Ye Zichen was acting on his obsession, the Bai Family patriarchs snorted disdainfully.
Anyone who could do this was worthy of respect. Sincere, faithful, and devoted obsession … no matter which aspect you reached the pinnacle of, you were worthy of respect.
But in their eyes, this was laughable.
This was especially true of Bai Jinsheng. He'd actually shuddered on behalf of a diviner brat. This was a disgrace to him.
A disdainful smile tugged at his lips, and nine flying swords appeared above Ye Zichen's head.
Not only was he going to kill him, but he was going to do it in the cruelest way possible.
"Zichen!"
Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei moved at practically the same time, but to their surprise, Bai Mingli appeared right in front of them. He tapped the air and placed a seal in front of them.
This kind of person, who was the embodiment of obsession, would turn all those who were important to him or were hostile to him into enemies.
On the other hand, so long as they weren't hostile, he wouldn't act.
Just now, if Bai Mingli had tried to stop Ye Zichen, Ye Zichen wouldn't have attacked.
