However, the Three God Pill had a weakness, which was that it could only be consumed when the person was still alive. Once the person was dead, the pill would not dissolve.
For example, Chu Li was already dead, but the Three God Pill was useless. It would not dissolve even if it was put into his mouth.
"Sect Leader, are you going to feed the Three God Pill to Yuan Si?" Hu Tianlai asked in surprise.
Zhao Lingfeng nodded. "He's worth it."
"Sigh …" Hu Tianlai sighed. "He almost died this time. Yuan Si's loyalty is undeniable. His breadth of mind and magnanimity are rare in this world. It's the Flying Heaven Faction's fortune!"
To be able to put life and death behind him meant that he could think about the gains and losses of his own interests. He would not be impulsive, and he was intelligent. It was the Flying Heaven Faction's fortune to have such a person as the sect leader.
Zhao Lingfeng nodded. "I almost regretted it. Thanks to Murong Chou, Yuan Si's friend was right!"
"After Yuan Si wakes up, he must thank Murong Chou for saving his life." Hu Tianlai smiled.
He lowered his head to look at Chu Li, then pressed on his chest. He frowned. "Sect Leader, with such heavy injuries, can Yuan Si really wake up?"
His internal organs were all shattered, especially his heart. Otherwise, he would not have died. Without the support of his heart, no matter how strong his inner energy was, he could only die.
He was a little worried that it would be difficult for him to recover from such injuries. A shattered heart was no different from having his head removed.
"Yes!" Zhao Lingfeng said. "I believe he can come back alive!"
"Yes, yes," Hu Tianlai quickly said. "Heaven helps a good man. Yuan Si will definitely wake up."
At that moment, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard from outside. Dozens of elders had entered Chu Li's courtyard.
Hu Tianlai floated out. When he saw them, he closed fist saluted. "Elders."
Zhao Lingfeng stepped in front of everyone and said calmly, "Everyone, disperse."
"Sect Master, Yuan Si is gone?" An old man asked calmly.
Zhao Lingfeng said softly, "Actually, there's something I haven't told you."
Everyone looked at him in silence. Their eyes were filled with anger. They wanted to kill their way to the Abstruse Heart Faction and destroy it.
A dead Wu Yuansi was completely different from a dead Huang Heming.
Although Huang Heming was talented and had a high cultivation base, he was still far behind Wu Yuansi. They had already determined that Wu Yuansi would be the next Sect Leader.
Especially the fact that Wu Yuansi had single-handedly killed batch after batch of Profound Heart Sect's elders, which made them even more excited and proud, and they sighed at their inferiority.
But this time, he had actually died in front of the sect, and this was truly something they were unable to accept. Their hatred and sorrow were difficult to suppress. They had already passed the age of being impulsive and reckless, yet they still wished for nothing more than to take action immediately.
"Sect Master, let's move out!" An old man said in a deep voice, "Avenge Yuan Si!"
"Everyone might not know yet." Zhao Lingfeng looked at them calmly and said, "The Profound Heart Sect has joined forces with the Heavenly Wind Sect and the Mountain Shaking Sect. They want to fight us head-on. If the three sects join forces, we won't be able to defeat them."
Everyone was silent, their faces still gloomy and solemn.
Zhao Lingfeng said slowly, "I made peace with Sect Leader Huang, but she had one condition: Yuan Si had to die."
Everyone's eyes widened in anger.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "I didn't agree to this condition before, but Yuan Si told me that he had obtained a secret technique that allowed him to fake his death. As long as his head isn't cut off, he can come back to life."
Everyone was stunned, but after thinking about it, they slowly nodded.
Although it sounded inconceivable, it was not impossible. It was just a legendary technique, and no one had ever heard of it before. They did not expect Wu Yuansi to have such a technique. They were really lucky.
However, such a secret technique was useless, and it was rarely used. Even if it was used, it would be extremely dangerous. Faking one's death was the same as putting one's life in someone else's hands. Whether or not to cut off one's head depended on a single thought. Once one's head was cut off, the fake death would become real death.
Instead of using such a secret technique, he might as well use the Sky Demon Body Disintegration Technique and die together with his enemies.
Zhao Lingfeng continued, "He was determined to use this secret technique to resolve the enmity between the Profound Heart Sect and the three sects."
Everyone sighed.
Zhao Lingfeng said, "His head was almost cut off by the people from the Profound Heart Sect, but he's fine now. Let's see if he can come back to life. Everyone, don't worry too much. Let's go back!"
"Sect Leader, let's wait outside," an elder said. "Let's see if he can come back alive."
"… Alright." Zhao Lingfeng nodded slowly and returned to his bed.
Hu Tianlai looked at the elders, closed fist saluted, and followed him into the bedroom.
Time passed slowly. Everyone stood in the courtyard without moving, not making a sound. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Zhao Lingfeng and Hu Tianlai stared at Chu Li without moving.
Chu Li's body was getting colder and colder. In the end, his body was as stiff as a rock. It was obvious that he was completely dead.
Seeing this, Hu Tianlai could not help but sigh. "Sect Leader, I'm afraid …"
If there really was a secret technique for faking one's death, one would at least have to maintain a breath of life. Then, with that weak breath of life, one's body wouldn't become too stiff, but it wouldn't be as stiff and cold as it was now.
Zhao Lingfeng glared at him.
Hu Tianlai was shocked. He felt that Zhao Lingfeng's eyes were bloodshot.
"Sect Leader Huang, she …" Hu Tianlai changed the topic and sighed. "Fortunately, Sect Leader Huang did not make a move, or else …"
"Shut up!" Zhao Lingfeng shouted.
Although Huang Tianyi did not make a move, he sent out these four old demons. They should be four of the ten strongest people in the Profound Heart Sect, which meant that Wu Yuansi was not going to survive. No matter how strong the technique was, there was a limit to it. He was not sure if Wu Yuansi could wake up from such a serious injury.
Hu Tianlai shut his mouth and touched Chu Li's wrist with his tentacles to feel the changes.
Unfortunately, as time passed, Chu Li was still getting harder and colder. The coldness even traveled up his fingers, causing him to shiver and want to pull his hand back.
He felt that Chu Li was completely dead. However, he could see that if he said that, Zhao Lingfeng might attack him. He knew that he should not say anything more.
The sun went from the east to the middle of the sky, then to the west, and finally to the bottom of the mountain.
The elders outside the courtyard were already disappointed. They thought that Chu Li would not wake up, but they did not say anything. Even if he was really dead, he died for the sect. It was only right for them to accompany him.
Dusk came, then night came, and the moon shone in the sky.
Under the hazy moonlight, everyone stood solemnly and motionlessly.
The night made their hearts heavier, and they did not want to talk. The entire courtyard was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Hu Tianlai touched Chu Li again, but he was already as stiff as a rock.
"Sect Leader …" Hu Tianlai sighed. "Why don't you get a coffin for Yuansi?"
"No need!" Zhao Lingfeng said. "I believe he will wake up."
"Boom!" A muffled sound was heard, and thunder could be heard from the sky.
