Chapter 1310 - 1336: Saving Chu Linfeng

Nangong Ming personally went to find Wei Qun, as it was the first time he encountered something like the situation with Chu Linfeng. He had no clue what was happening to him. Despite being covered in wounds himself, he could no longer feel the pain, with his entire heart completely focused on Chu Linfeng.

"Lin Feng, don’t scare us like this. What would us sisters do if anything happened to you? Wake up, Lin Feng, it’s me, Yueyan. You can’t leave us behind!" Xuanyuan Yueyan sobbed.

Perhaps Xuanyuan Yueyan’s tears affected everyone else, as both Fairy Lingxiao and Ice and Snow Fairy began to cry too. Only Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture showed no expressions. Though concerned for Chu Linfeng, they knew he would be fine. If anything truly happened to him, they would instantly know.

"Sisters, why are you crying? Big Brother isn’t dead, so why are you panicking? If Big Brother really had something happen to him, Xiaoying and I would follow him too. Look, we’re perfectly fine right now, so Big Brother surely wouldn’t have any issues," the Golden Demon Vulture said.

His words snapped Xuanyuan Yueyan out of her panic; when the heart is restless, it can’t think straight. Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture had a Soul Contract with Chu Linfeng, and if anything happened to him, they certainly wouldn’t be standing here unharmed.

"What exactly is happening to Lin Feng? With his power, there shouldn’t be anyone who could oppose him. Why is he unconscious? And his wounds are terrifying. Could this be the doing of the Yin Yang Demon Emperor?" Xuanyuan Yueyan asked.

"We don’t know the reason. I only know that Big Brother asked me to quickly take away Meng Ji’s body. Beyond that, I am unclear," said the Golden Demon Vulture.

"I’m clueless too. Don’t stare at me like that; all I did was drive away the Soul Body and bring Big Brother back. I know nothing more," Xiaoying said.

"I understand now; the reason is because the master’s soul has left his body. To make the Yin Yang Demon Emperor’s soul leave Meng Ji’s body, he had to separate his own soul from his body. Only by doing this could he attract the Demon Emperor’s interest and rescue Meng Ji’s body.

The greatest concern is not knowing where his soul is at the moment. If his soul is destroyed by the Demon Emperor, it will be troublesome," commented the Jade Immortal Emperor.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s doubts were cleared; perhaps it was truly as he said that Chu Linfeng’s current unconsciousness was due to the absence of his soul. Suddenly, everyone was worried about the direction his soul could have gone.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng’s soul had completely returned to his body, and he heard everyone’s words clearly yet did not speak. The thing he was most concerned about was whether Meng Ji’s soul had any residual fragments left. If Meng Ji truly had no soul, she would be considered dead.

This was a situation he could not allow to happen. If it was truly the case, he would have to forever resemble Meng Ji’s body in ice. How would Chu Chenlin react upon learning about his mother’s plight?

Not long after, Wei Qun and Nangong Ming entered the tent, with Wei Qun immediately rushing to Chu Linfeng’s side to check his injuries. Just as he was about to pulse-check Chu Linfeng’s hand, Chu Linfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

"Wei Qun, check Meng Ji’s condition. We can talk about my situation later," Chu Linfeng said. Everyone’s hearts surged with excitement upon hearing his voice, and their prior worries instantly vanished.

Wei Qun began examining the unconscious Meng Ji, his expression shifting between thoughtful and puzzled. He was immensely aware of Meng Ji’s identity; without her, neither he nor Chu Linfeng would be alive. She had saved their lives, and while she eventually became Chu Linfeng’s lover, it couldn’t negate the duty of repaying such a great favor.

After a while, Wei Qun commented, "Meng Ji’s current situation is dire. Her soul no longer exists, and only her body remains. No matter my capability, it’s beyond salvation.

However, there’s an exceptionally unusual area within her body, appearing sealed off. With my power, I cannot decipher what the Seal is, but perhaps Lin Feng could investigate once he awakened."

"Is she ultimately saveable or not?" asked Chu Linfeng, anxiously.

"It depends on what’s sealed there. My feeling is that it might be a wisp of Residual Soul. She used her vital power to seal it, possibly hoping you might save her one day. She foresaw the imminent Immortal-Demon War expeditiously, understanding that you possessed the technique to restore a Soul Body. Perhaps, it was an act made under compelling circumstances," Wei Qun explained.

Hearing Wei Qun’s explanation, Chu Linfeng’s anxiety subsided slightly. Meng Ji could not afford to falter; none of his women could afford to falter. Even if he’d claimed he treated everyone equally, bias still existed.

Regarding the ranking of significance among women in Chu Linfeng’s heart, Meng Ji was third; Sima Jingyi, whom he couldn’t possibly replace, was fourth.

Wei Qun approached Chu Linfeng and asked, "Boss, what caused you to pass out? Did you separate your soul from your body to make the Demon Emperor leave Meng Ji’s body? That kind of suffering isn’t something normal people can bear."

"Wei Qun, explaining this situation is rather complex. I used the Eye of Ice and Fire; do you know about it?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Yes, I’ve seen the description of this Heaven-Defying Technique in ancient texts. It’s extremely terrifying, but has a fatal drawback: encountering a cursed person can result in backlash, a decrease in Power Level. Did you encounter a cursed person? Is the cursed person the Yin Yang Demon Emperor?" asked Wei Qun.

"Are you just asking what you already know? You previously mentioned the Yin Yang Demon Emperor was formed from hidden aura, a cursed being from birth. I used the Eye of Ice and Fire on him, causing this mess. Under exigent circumstances, I separated my soul and attached it to the Golden Body.

The aim was for him to desire possessing my body, making him vacate Meng Ji’s body. Only then can I save Meng Ji. At present, however, my Chaotic Immortal Power remains unexecutable, preventing my injuries from healing, as if restrained," explained Chu Linfeng.

"I understand now. But don’t worry; in those texts, I found a salvation method. It’s somewhat troublesome and requires some time," Wei Qun replied.

"As long as this method can alleviate the current symptoms, please tell me what it is. This instant drop from peak strength to feeling useless is truly distressing," said Chu Linfeng.

Instead of immediately answering Chu Linfeng, Wei Qun asked him, "Why did you use the Eye of Ice and Fire on that guy?"
