Xiao Qi looked at him. "Let's go!"
Chu Li said, "Why don't I seal my sleeping acupuncture point and I'll be there after a nap!"
"No need," Xiao Qi said.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Chu Li knew that it was useless to try and persuade her otherwise, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
Activating So Close, Yet Worlds Apart to the extreme, he was like a shadow flashing between heaven and earth. Every flash was at least two miles away, and the interval was a few seconds.
The heart technique that Xiao Qi cultivated had created a strong physique, allowing her to adapt quickly. She could not see her surroundings clearly, only the distorted light and shadows. She closed her eyes and the image of her second sister, Siao Shi, appeared in her mind.
From then on, they would be separated forever. Even with the suppression of the mental cultivation method she cultivated, the pain still surged.
Xiao Qi's Life Jade Union was broken, and they returned to the High Duke's Public House. Two hours later, the two of them entered Whistling Wind Tower with pale faces.
In the hall on the first floor of Whispering Wind Tower, Mulin, Zhao Qingshan, and Shan Shanquan could not stop sighing.
Mulin's face was gloomy and gloomy. He gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked.
He had been taking care of Siao Shi all these years, pouring his heart's blood and love into Siao Shi. His feelings for her were no less than Siao Tieying's. When Siao Shi passed away due to illness, he blamed himself and was in pain. He hated himself for being powerless.
Zhao Qingshan silently circulated his internal energy to regulate his breathing. There was a sense of sorrow in his heart. The Second Miss was really pitiful. She passed away at such a young age when she was in the prime of her life.
From time to time, he would raise his head to look upstairs. The Second Lady had passed away and the Eldest Master was grieving. If anything were to happen to her, the Public House would really be done for.
Chu Li and Xiao Qi suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Third Miss!" Lin Quan's eyes widened and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. "Third Miss, you're finally back. Quickly go up and see Young Master!"
"Second Eldest Sister, she …?" Xiao Qi asked calmly.
Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Third Miss, you should go up."
Xiao Qi turned around and looked at Chu Li.
Chu Li said, "I want to go up and have a look!"
Guo Mulin sighed, "Young Chu, the Second Lady has already left. It's useless to see her."
"There's no hope at all?" Chu Li frowned.
He could already see the Second Miss in his mind. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, but there was no trace of life, only a beautiful shell.
Mulin shook his head.
"I heard that there's a secret art. It's called the Eclipse Purloin, do you know about it, Elder Guo? "Chu Li asked.
Mulin frowned. "You know about this too?"
"I want to try!" Chu Li said.
Mulin shook his head and said, "A life for a life, and your lifespan will be halved."
"It's alright." Chu Li said, "My life is not as valuable as the Second Lady!"
"Only Enlightened Masters can use it," Guo Mulin said.
Chu Li said, "I want to try!"
Mulin said, "It doesn't matter if the Second Lady survives or not, you won't!"
"Elder Guo. Cut the crap and tell me! "Chu Li said.
Xiao Qi frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Third Lady, this is a type of secret skill. You can use your own life in exchange for another person's life." Mulin shook his head. "Only Enlightened Masters are qualified to perform this skill."
Xiao Qi looked at Chu Li and said, "The dead can't be resurrected. Chu Li, stop fooling around! "
Chu Li said, "Maybe the Second Lady isn't fated to die yet!"
"You don't want to live anymore?" Xiao Qi scoffed.
She was very sad about the passing of her second sister, but she was still rational. She did not want Chu Li to do such a crazy thing.
Chu Li smiled. "I'm tough. I won't die so easily."
He had records of this secret skill in his mind. It was not a life for a life, but a soul recovery skill. As long as the soul that was scattered between heaven and earth returned to its original position within twelve hours, the person could be resurrected.
However, this skill was a fight against fate. There would be a backlash, and lightning would strike.
The power of lightning was impressive and supreme. Even an Enlightened Master would not be able to withstand it. There would be no chance of survival. Hence, there was the saying of a life for a life.
Chu Li dared to perform this skill because he had the Life and Death Scripture. He felt that he would not die.
"An Enlightened Master can't live under an Enlightened Master. How can you not die?" Guo Mulin said impatiently. "I know you love the Second Lady, but she's already gone. Even if an Enlightened Master came, he would be powerless. You should just accept reality! "
Chu Li frowned. "Elder Guo, do you know about this secret skill?"
"… Fine, just you wait!" Guo Mulin glared at him. He turned around and left the Wind Tower.
Chu Li turned around and looked at Xiao Qi. "Lady Xiao, you should go up first."
Xiao Qi shook her head and slowly walked up to the third floor. She saw Siao Tieying hugging Siao Shi. He was curled up into a ball and crying silently. His body was trembling, and he was so sad that he could not make a sound.
"Big Brother." She came to Siao Tieying's side. She patted his shoulder.
Siao Tieying buried his head in Siao Shi's shoulder and did not say a word.
Xiao Qi sighed and did not speak anymore. She stood by the bed and accompanied him. The surrounding was so quiet that it seemed like it was frozen. Siao Tieying's breathing was especially loud.
Guo Mulin slowly walked back to the first floor and threw a thin book to Chu Li.
Chu Li reached out and caught it. He looked down and flipped through it.
Guo Mulin shook his head.
He dared to give this secret skill to Chu Li because he was sure that Chu Li would not be able to cast it. Only an Enlightened Master could cast a secret skill. Chu Li would not be able to cast it successfully and he would not be in danger.
Chu Li's cultivation level was high. If a Grandmaster could cast it, Chu Li might be able to do it. However, this was an Enlightened Master's Boundary secret skill. It was worlds apart from the Innate Mastery's Boundary. No matter how strong Chu Li was, he would not be able to succeed.
Chu Li passed the thin book back to Guo Mulin with both hands. "Elder Guo, I want to try!"
"You really want to try?" Guo Mulin frowned.
Chu Li calmly said, "Yes!"
"You're crazy!" Guo Mulin shook his head. "Don't mess around. Master Siao and Lady Xiao Qi are upset!"
Chu Li shook his head.
Guo Mulin frowned and looked at him. "Even if you succeed, you won't be able to live!"
"I know," Chu Li said.
"Alright, you won't give up until you try!" Guo Mulin scoffed. "Then let's go up!"
Chu Li fist saluted and slowly walked up to the third floor.
Lin Quan stomped his feet and said anxiously, "Elder Guo, why are you watching Chu Li mess around!"
"He's infatuated with the Second Lady. He won't give up until he tries. Let him go!" Guo Mulin shook his head and sighed.
"Sigh … Master will be angry if he messes around like this," Lin Quan said. "I don't know what will happen if he provokes Master at this time!"
Guo Mulin scoffed. "Chu Li is trying to save the Second Lady. Why is Master Siao angry?"
Chu Li stepped onto the third floor.
Siao Tieying and Siao Qi were immersed in grief. They did not know that he had come up.
Chu Li did not disturb them. He sat cross-legged on the floor and began to visualize a statue of God in his mind.
At the beginning of visualization. It was a blur. Only the outline of the statue could be seen. There was an invisible force hindering his visualization. It was similar to when he visualized the Scripture of Life and Death.
He did not panic. He was patient and meticulous. He pushed forward bit by bit. It was as if he was looking at a statue of God from afar. As he got closer, the statue became clearer. In the end, it appeared in the void of his mind. It was vivid.
The statue's facial features were clear. Its hands were forming a mudra. It stepped on the void. He could see it clearly but he could not remember it. He could only remember its furious expression.
Chu Li formed a mudra with both of his hands. It was the same mudra as the statue. He spat out a strange incantation, "Moo — Mi — Ba —???? Chen???
The first word was said in a low voice. The second word was even lower. Each word was lower than the last. By the last word, there was no sound.
There was an invisible force in the void. It was as if it had been awakened. It came from all directions.
Inside the house, the windows were tightly shut. A gust of wind blew. In the blink of an eye, it turned from a gentle breeze to a violent gale. The curtains and clothes were fluttering.
The two people who were immersed in grief looked at Chu Li blankly.
Chu Li's face was filled with anger. He formed another mudra with both of his hands. He pointed at Siao Shi and shouted, "Quick!"
The violent gale seemed to obey Chu Li's command. It rushed towards Siao Shi.
The violent gale turned into a tornado. It pushed Siao Tieying and Siao Qi three steps away. Siao Shi was in the eye of the tornado. The violent gale howled around her. The momentum was shocking. Her clothes did not move. She floated a meter high and then stopped. She lay quietly in the void.
Siao Tieying widened his bloodshot eyes. He looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Siao Qi frowned. She guessed that Chu Li had used that secret skill. It was very likely that he would succeed.
Chu Li changed the mudra with difficulty. He slowly said, "Return!"
A whirlpool suddenly appeared a foot above Siao Shi's head. It instantly swallowed all the violent gale. It condensed into three bright spots and drilled into Siao Shi's forehead.
Siao Shi fell onto the bed with a thud.
Siao Tieying did not have time to react. He slapped himself in frustration. He quickly looked at Siao Shi.
Siao Qi also looked at Siao Shi curiously.
Chu Li sat cross-legged on the floor. He formed a mudra with both of his hands. His face was pale. The spiritual force from all directions drilled into his body.
Siao Shi's face was rosy. It was completely different from the green color from before.
Under the gaze of Siao Tieying and Siao Qi, her long eyelashes gently trembled. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at them blankly.
"Second sister!"
"Second sister!"
The two of them were overjoyed. They went forward to grab her hands.
"Big brother, third sister …" Siao Shi's eyes gradually became clear. She looked at their surprised expressions in confusion.
"Rumble …" The faint sound of thunder came from the horizon. The sky suddenly darkened.
Chu Li opened his eyes, "My Lady, bring the Second Lady away!"
Siao Qi turned her head and looked at him, "Chu Li, you …"
Chu Li said, "You guys go first!"
Siao Tieying looked at Chu Li and then at Siao Qi, "Third sister?"
Siao Qi said, "You used the Eclipse Purloin, right?"
Chu Li nodded. He smiled at Siao Shi who was sitting up, "Second Lady, congratulations."
Siao Shi smiled sweetly, "I'm alive again?"
Her smile was bright. The dark room seemed to be brightened. She was so beautiful.
When the darkness slowly came up and swallowed her, she felt like she was sinking into a bottomless abyss. She knew that she would never wake up again. It was a true eternal sleep.
She did not know how long she slept. Suddenly, a bright light appeared and guided her forward. Finally, she pushed open a door and truly woke up.
"Rumble …" The sound of thunder came again. It was closer than before.
Chu Li said, "Second Lady, you guys should leave this place first."
"Chu Li, it was you who saved me again?" Siao Shi asked.
Chu Li smiled and looked up at the sky, "Let's go! My Lady, Second Lady, Master Siao Tieying, if you don't leave now, it'll be too late! "
Siao Qi pursed her lips and looked at him deeply.
"Rumble …" The sound of thunder seemed to be right in front of them. It exploded right above their heads. The Wind Tower was shaking.
Chu Li's expression changed. He quickly said, "My Lady!"
"Alright!" Siao Qi retracted her gaze from Chu Li and took a deep breath, "Big brother, let's go first!"
Siao Tieying frowned, "What happened?"
"I'll tell you later!" Siao Qi said. She carried Siao Shi and walked out. When she was out of the room, she turned to look at Chu Li, "You're not allowed to die!"
Chu Li smiled.
