Chapter 184 Leaving with Support Against the Wall [Requesting Double Monthly Tickets!]
There was a sudden spin.
Three figures fell from the sky.
Qi Sheng, feeling the bone-chilling cold, struggled to steady himself, raised his sword, and flew downwards carrying two ice lumps.
As he looked around from the air, he saw that this was no longer the Prisoner Dragon Ridge. There was no more mist or poisonous miasma. He was soaring above the clouds in the azure sky, under a clear and bright sky that stretched to the horizon. Cities, mountains, and rivers were all within his sight, and even ants and leeches seemed to appear in the water. The frustration and bitterness he had felt in the Prisoner Dragon Abyss for the past few days vanished, and he suddenly felt as if he had met with the heavens, and his heart was filled with a sense of expansiveness.
Facing the biting wind, the bone-chilling cold instantly vanished.
The mysterious ice on Changsun Bing and Granny Xian did not melt away so quickly.
Qi Sheng dared not delay, and quickly lowered his sword light. When he looked down from the clouds, he saw towering mountains and great rivers below, with some hills and ridges rising and falling like waves.
Beautiful mountains!
It's truly unlike any scene from the human world.
Qi Sheng raised his sword, enveloping the two women, and landed in a sunny spot.
Looking at himself, he saw that he was completely soaked. Then he looked at his fourth sister-in-law and mother-in-law in his arms; their bodies were stiff, covered by several inches of black ice, with only their mouths and noses slightly showing.
He quickly used his pure Yang palm power to melt the ice on the two women's bodies, not knowing if their chests were still warm.
Fortunately, the inside and outside of the deep cave are completely different worlds. The cold wind cave is bitterly cold, while this place is hot in summer. The contrast between the cold and the hot is like being in another world.
In no time under the sunlight, the ice melted away, revealing Granny Xian and Changsun Bing's entire bodies.
Qi Sheng first looked at Changsun Bing and saw that this fourth sister-in-law had a lifelike face, but her complexion was pale, her eyes were closed, her upper and lower jaws were clenched, and her whole body was stiff.
Upon removing the wet clothes and touching the area, I found that while the front of my chest wasn't warm, it wasn't as cold to the touch as other parts of my body.
Then, they removed Granny Xian's wet clothes and touched her chest; it wasn't cold either.
"Fortunately!"
Qi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing there was still hope. He quickly pried open the two women's lips and teeth with the elixir he carried and stuffed it inside.
But this only stabilized the two women's vital signs; truly eliminating the severe cold was no easy task.
Qi Sheng thought to himself, "They suffered greatly from the wind and frost in the Cold Wind Cave and were encased in mysterious ice. Their bodies were numb and they had lost all sensation. Although the two women have been rescued, their limbs and essence have all turned to ice. Not only are they in great pain, but they are also waiting for the cold energy in their bodies to change and mix with their essence and vital energy to form a cold poison, like a maggot clinging to their bones. At that time, it will not only be painful, but also deadly dangerous."
Qi Shengyun used his "Yang Sheng Palm" to repeatedly rub the two women's arms, legs, and heads. His palms were almost smoking from the rubbing, but the two women's skin still did not turn rosy and remained deathly pale.
"no!"
Qi Sheng tried many different techniques, including the "Spark Technique" and the "Purple Cloud True Method," but to no avail. Instead, he noticed that the two women were developing a faint cold poison within their bodies, and their injuries were getting worse.
The situation is critical.
If they are not rescued soon, they will probably die before they can survive any longer.
Save or not?
How to save?
After much thought, Qi Sheng had only one last method left: "Only by using my blazing primordial yang, in the fusion of mind and spirit, and then contacting my perfect 'sensory perception' and 'subtle perception,' can I hope to dispel that coldness for them."
But what about them?
Would you be willing?
Unfortunately, both women were unconscious and disoriented, so Qi Sheng had no way of asking them for their wishes.
Between life and death, there is not a single hair's breadth.
"When it is broken, it will be disrupted."
Qi Sheng gritted his teeth and decided to save them first, regardless of the consequences.
If the two men blame him after they wake up, he will apologize.
After they are rescued, whether they live or die will depend entirely on their own will, and Qi Sheng will certainly not interfere at that time.
Mind this.
Qi Sheng immediately did his best to help.
……
After a day and a night.
Qi Sheng appeared somewhat weak.
He walked out of the cave, leaning against the mountain wall, when he suddenly felt a cold breeze on his face. He thought it was due to overwork and excessive depletion of his vital energy, which made him weak.
But when his dizzy eyes finally focused, he immediately shuddered and his hair stood on end: "What monster!"
But then, a white thing stood three feet away from him. It was shaped like a cicada, about a foot long, neither human nor non-human, and was shrouded in white mist. The cold fog was chilling and the air was biting. It was slowly walking towards him.
In this deep mountain forest, Qi Sheng, having just exhausted himself, was suddenly startled by these strange-looking things. Even with his skills, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the thing had a face as white as death, with its eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth all blurred. It was breathing cold air at one of them, and when it walked, one could only see its body moving slowly forward without actually moving.
Qi Sheng guessed it was some kind of ghost or demon from the deep mountains, estimating it might not be very powerful. With his finger pointed, the Sorrowful Cloud Sword transformed into a white rainbow and flew straight towards the white thing.
In the white rainbow light, only a white shadow flashed and disappeared without a trace, and it was impossible to tell how it got away.
Qi Sheng suddenly awoke, and a chill ran down his neck again. He turned around and saw another white thing, exactly the same as the one he had seen before, right behind him, less than two feet away, close enough to reach out and hug him.
Qi Sheng was startled. This figure was ghostly and silent, and he had no idea what it was or what its origins were.
Unfortunately, he is now separated from Mingxuzi and Laiwen. Granny Xian and Changsun Bing's cold poison was cured last night, and they are currently paralyzed in the cave and cannot get up. They need to rest well.
Qi Sheng had no one to consult and had to deal with things on his own.
Seeing that the two white things were trying to corner him and attack him from both sides, he couldn't help but laugh and curse: "You audacious monster, you don't know how powerful I am, yet you dare to plot against me."
The shout, seemingly meaningless, actually subtly employed the wondrous use of thunderous sound to subdue demons and ghosts from the "Rain Gate Rain Door Technique".
The moment the words were spoken, they worked.
No sooner said than done, the two white figures suddenly clanged twice and surged forward like a whirlwind. Qi Sheng was already prepared, and with a light touch of his feet, he leaped away first.
Just as he was about to unleash the 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword' again, he suddenly saw the two white things twisting and rolling around in a ball. He felt a chill creeping in, sand and stones flying everywhere, and trees as thick as a man's embrace could be broken with a single touch; their strength was truly astonishing.
Sometimes, even when it was not far from Qi Sheng, it seemed as if it had not seen him at all, still twisting and turning.
Qi Sheng, curious, stopped fighting and watched quietly, wondering to himself, "Why are they fighting amongst themselves?"
He didn't understand the origin or purpose of this.
As dawn broke in the east, the two white figures were still locked in a tug-of-war, neither gaining the upper hand. Qi Sheng ignored them, unleashing the light of his 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword' to split and sweep across the area. The two white figures vanished in a flash.
Looking around again, he still couldn't see her.
"eccentric!"
Qi Sheng, unaware of what was going on, turned and went into the cave. He saw that Granny Xian and Changsun Bing were both sound asleep in the cave, their pretty faces regaining their color. Reassured, he drew a golden circle around the two women and then came out of the cave again.
Little did they know that he had just stepped out.
Inside the golden circle, Changsun Bing and Granny Xian opened their eyes almost simultaneously, both looking at Qi Sheng's back at the cave entrance. Then, as if sensing something, they hurriedly looked at each other, only to find their eyes locked.
"..."
"..."
Changsun Bing's cheeks flushed.
Grandma Xian's cheeks flushed.
The atmosphere inside the cave became extremely awkward.
Fortunately, Qi Sheng was not there. He soared into the sky with his sword, piercing through the clouds and riding the wind, descending upon the mortal realm. Wherever he passed, there were towering mountains and great rivers, with overlapping ridges and peaks that seemed to surge and recede behind him like waves. Sometimes, he would pass through the clouds, the dense clouds around him being broken by the sword light, swirling and billowing, forming clumps and fluff that could be easily grasped.
In a casual game, it lightly touched my hand; when I opened my palm, there seemed to be a trace, but it vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a cool, moist feeling.
As one soars beyond the clouds, amidst the clear blue sky, the city walls and mountains are all within sight, even the smallest creatures seem to resemble ants and leeches. One feels as if one has joined with the heavens, and one's heart expands with a sense of grandeur.
Facing the biting wind, Qi Sheng hadn't felt so exhilarated in a long time, and he grew happier with each flight.
He immediately activated the "body and sword as one" technique, a white rainbow piercing the sun, as swift as a shooting star. At times he would plummet downwards, dozens of feet above the ground, and then suddenly soar upwards again. He dodged and weaved all the way, like a phoenix dancing and a dragon soaring, flying forward at breakneck speed.
They really had a blast.
Of course, he wasn't playing around; he was familiarizing himself with the environment and searching for Lai Wen and Ming Xuzi.
As dawn broke, Qi Sheng took to the air and looked around.
At this moment, the morning sun was gradually rising, the distant mountains were tinged with purple, the nearby ridges were tinged with green, the sky was clear and the air was bright.
However, Qi Sheng noticed that several dozen miles north of the mountain where Granny Xian and Changsun Bing were not far apart, there was a gray mist covering an area of several dozen feet in diameter behind the mountain, as if it were fog, and there were faint flashes of light and shadow in the atmosphere.
In recent years, Qi Sheng has made great progress in both internal and external cultivation, and has been able to discern some signs.
Knowing that there was another world beneath the Cold Wind Cave, Ming Xuzi and Lai Wen's fate was uncertain. Moreover, those two white ghosts were strange. They secretly thought that even if this area was not a den of demons, it was not a good place either. That cloud of gray mist might be a demon playing tricks.
Thinking of this, he flew towards the foggy place.
After flying over the northern cliff, Qi Sheng looked down and exclaimed in surprise. Below lay an extremely secluded valley, stretching for over a thousand fathoms. Ancient trees surrounded it, blocking out the sun.
The fog, when viewed from a distance, was not very thick.
When you get close, you can see hundreds of black wisps, each a foot wide and tens of feet long, swirling and dancing there.
You can vaguely see two figures inside, one flashing with firelight and the other surging with wind and thunder, charging left and right.
Qi Sheng was overjoyed, knowing that it must be Ming Xuzi and Lai Wen, and quickly called out, "Master, Fourth Brother!"
The two men couldn't hear Qi Sheng speaking.
Qi Sheng saw that the two were entangled, and wherever they flew, the black mist followed, forming a black net that enveloped them. Although Lai Wen used wind and thunder to sever the black mist, it seemed to be alive, dispersing and gathering again. Just as it was dispersed by wind and thunder, it would condense into streaks of black silk, covering them from above, making it impossible for them to escape.
Seeing that the two were in danger, Qi Sheng shouted, "Master! Fourth Brother! Don't worry, I'm coming!"
Before he could finish speaking, the sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning, piercing straight into the thicket of black mist.
The Sorrowful Cloud Sword is no ordinary weapon.
At this moment, Qi Sheng used his sword technique of "dragging the sword like silk" to its fullest extent. But as soon as the white silk circled slightly into the black shadow, a ghostly wail was heard, and the black atmosphere in the sky turned into dark clouds and scattered.
Qi Sheng was overjoyed, and his spirits and courage were greatly boosted.
It is said that Xu Zi and Lai Wen fought on this ground for most of the night, and were exhausted and confused. They were so focused on using fire and wind that they did not see Qi Sheng arrive. Even though their magic had been broken, they did not stop.
It was Lai Wen's sharp eyes that caught sight of Qi Sheng descending from the sky after the sword light, calling out "Fourth Brother" and "Ancestor" repeatedly, which startled him awake. He hurriedly said, "Little Brother!"
Ming Xuzi also calmed down at this moment, and exclaimed with delight, "Young friend!"
Both of them were surprised and touched.
It wasn't just because Qi Sheng had rescued them earlier, but also because Qi Sheng's presence here at this moment meant that he must have also entered the Cold Wind Cave.
Considering the extreme danger of the Cold Wind Cave, Qi Sheng still dared to enter even after witnessing the two of them, along with Changsun Bing, all fall into it. The value of their friendship is immense and truly immeasurable.
Qi Sheng, not caring about the conversation and fearing further danger, hurriedly asked the two, "What kind of sorcerers are you?"
Lai Wen, panting, replied, "It's the old man from Tian Tan of the Ghost King Sect, right there on that rock."
Qi Sheng looked where Lai Wen was pointing and saw a protruding, steep rock halfway up the cliff. On the rock was a gourd, and there was nothing else.
He immediately pointed to the sword light, and in a single swipe, the gourd shattered into pieces.
Upon closer inspection, there was nothing unusual about it.
But no one knew where that sorcerer had gone.
He secretly thought that the sorcerer had probably seen his power and retreated now, but he would most likely still play tricks in the shadows. He and Lai Wen were newcomers to the place and unfamiliar with the people, and they were in the open, so they must not be careless, let alone pursue him too relentlessly. They needed to plan carefully.
Just then, Lai Wen asked, "Did you see your fourth sister-in-law when you came in?"
Mingxuzi also asked Qisheng, "Where is Granny Xian now?"
Qi Sheng said, "Don't worry, both of you. Fourth Sister-in-law and Mother-in-law are both safe and sound. They are in a cave not far away. Please come with me."
He immediately led the two back to the cave. When they were still far from the cave entrance, he exclaimed with delight, "Grandma! Fourth Sister-in-law! Come out and see who I've brought back!"
He shouted twice, his voice loud and clear.
There was a rustling sound from inside the cave, and finally two women emerged, supporting each other. Lai Wen and Ming Xuzi looked at them and realized that they were none other than Changsun Bing and Granny Xian!
……
Qi Sheng and the other four narrowly escaped death. In particular, Granny Xian and Changsun Bing had already experienced a life-or-death situation once. Now, having survived the ordeal, they were able to reunite, and everyone was overjoyed.
Although Granny Xian's reputation was ruined in her later years, fortunately, the one who lost his virginity was a handsome young hero like Qi Sheng, who was also chivalrous and eager to help others, so she did not blame him.
Although Changsun Bing was no longer chaste, she was wise and knew that if Qi Sheng hadn't rescued her, she would have died if she had stayed at the cave entrance for even a short while longer. This was truly a life-saving grace, and she felt only gratitude in her heart.
After their awkward moment in the cave, the two women had already reached a consensus: not for their own reputation, but for Qi Sheng's reputation, they would keep quiet about what happened last night. Otherwise, if Qi Sheng's hard work in saving lives and his chivalrous heart were to be criticized by outsiders, that would be their fault.
The two women are not mentioned.
Qi Sheng gave them an apologetic look, and the two women returned the look with reassuring eyes.
After the group finished catching up, Qi Shengcai asked, "Who is 'Old Man of Tiantan'?"
Ming Xuzi said, "The Ghost King Sect has 'Twenty-Eight Eccentric Elders,' each of whom is a patriarch-level figure. 'Old Man of Heavenly Pool' is one of them, an absolute top expert."
Lai Wen said helplessly, "Normally, neither I nor my ancestor are afraid of encountering the Old Man of Tiantan. However, we were seriously injured in the Cold Wind Cave and could not exert our strength, which is why we were trapped and almost died."
The cold wind in the Cold Wind Cave was truly terrifying. Qi Sheng was fortunate to have an extremely strong physique cultivated by the 'Tian Gang' and the 'Three Diagrams of Heaven', which allowed him to ignore it.
But Lai Wen couldn't do it.
Mingxuzi wouldn't work either.
The two were corroded by the cold air. Although they were not frozen like Granny Xian and Changsun Bing, and their strength was now less than one-tenth of what it used to be, they were still greatly damaged. They could not exert half of their strength. Their condition continued to deteriorate and decline in the life-and-death battle last night. They were corroded by the cold air and cold poison, and their strength was damaged even more and their injuries were more serious.
Lai Wen said in a deep voice, "It will take at least two or three years of careful recuperation to fully recover."
Mingxuzi smiled bitterly: "In the short term, the only thing I can rely on is the 'Fire Crow Pot'."
Lai Wen and Ming Xuzi suffered significant losses.
Changsun Bing and Granny Xian's strength has been reduced to less than one-tenth.
Of the five people in the group, only Qi Sheng remained unharmed and was still in his prime.
He immediately said, "You four just need to take good care of yourselves, I'll take care of everything else!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed far and wide, causing Qi Sheng's 'Sorrowful Cloud Sword' to tremble, while Changsun Bing's Ice Soul Divine Light Sword beside him hummed softly.
Qi Sheng and Changsun Bing exchanged a glance, both shocked: "A top-tier swordsman?!"
