Luo Xue coughed violently twice, and black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth again.

You Ruo turned pale with fright and dared not disobey again.

She bit her lip hard, glared at Lin Mo fiercely, and finally could only leave the stone chamber with tears in her eyes.

As the heavy stone door slammed shut, the room fell silent again, save for the occasional dripping of water.

Lin Mo rubbed his shoulders, which were still numb from the shock, and looked at Luo Xue again.

"Your disciple is at the peak of the Integration Stage, you're quite the impressive master. But how did you end up in this terrible state?"

Luo Xue stared at the dark cave ceiling, her eyes so empty it was unsettling.

After a long silence, she let out a helpless sigh and slowly recounted her experience of returning to the upper realm.

Back then, when she forcibly opened a cross-realm passage back to the Canglan Realm, the first thing she did was head straight for the former site of the Blood Demon Sect.

She wanted to recuperate, find her master's whereabouts, and take the opportunity to seek revenge.

However, reality dealt her a harsh blow.

Centuries have passed, and the once mighty Blood Demon Sect has long since turned into ruins.

She acted with extreme caution, hiding deep within the Sea of ​​Blood.

But in the end, their trail was discovered by another behemoth entrenched in the same sea area—the Myriad Souls Sect.

"The Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect has his eye on my body, which has been tempered by the power of blood, and wants to capture me alive and possess my body."

Luo Xue's voice was completely flat, as if she were telling someone else's story.

"I lost all my cultivation, and the remaining Chaos True Blood in my body was also completely exhausted. I fought desperately, but in the end, my heart meridian was severed."

"If You Ruo hadn't arrived in time, I would have been annihilated."

Lin Mo frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Since You Ruo is your disciple, why did she go to the mortal realm to capture me?"

"She was an orphan. I rescued her on a whim and taught her a little bit of my cultivation technique. I never expected her to be so talented; she actually cultivated to the Integration Stage."

Luo Xue turned her head away, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"She captured you only to retrieve the jade pendant I gave you as your birth year charm."

"She thought that as long as I had the jade pendant, I could save my life. Don't blame her."

"Whose fault is it if not hers?"

Lin Mo snorted coldly.

"I finally destroyed the Xuantian Sect, and I was just about to enjoy the bliss of having a wife and kids in a warm bed, and savoring the happiness of having two wives."

As a result, before I even had a chance to celebrate, that woman dragged me to the Upper Realm without saying a word. It was simply...

Lin Mo stood by the bedside, grumbling incessantly, venting his dissatisfaction.

But when he saw Luo Xue lying on the bed, looking extremely weak, he could only sigh helplessly.

Sigh... never mind.

Since things have come to this, let's save lives first.

"I still don't understand why you wanted to die. My blood should have been able to save you."

Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue gave a bitter laugh.

"The people from the Myriad Souls Sect told me something before they made their move."

Luo Xue's voice began to tremble, and a deep despair welled up in her eyes.

"Yunxi... that fellow disciple who betrayed me and stole my 'Nine Heavens Profound Yin Bone'. She has already ascended to immortality using my bone."

Become an immortal! ?

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

That transcends the legendary realms of fusion and Mahayana.

"She is now the supreme being of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, a deity whose power cannot be shaken by the entire Canglan Realm."

A single tear slid down Luo Xue's cheek, her voice terribly hoarse.

"I thought the Myriad Souls Sect was deliberately lying to me to disrupt my Dao heart. But I asked Youruo... and it's true."

The enemy is high above, looking down on all living beings.

My master's whereabouts are unknown, and his fate is uncertain.

The Blood Demon Sect was completely destroyed, and its lineage was severed.

She herself became a cripple, having lost all her cultivation and with her meridians severed, unable to even stand up.

These four layers of despair, stacked together, were like an insurmountable mountain, completely crushing the Dao heart of this "Nine Netherworld Empress".

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this mess."

Luo Xue turned her head and looked at Lin Mo, her eyes full of apology.

"The Upper Realm is not like the Mortal Realm; the Nascent Soul stage is simply not enough here. I no longer have the ability to open a spatial rift to send you back..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face darkened so much it looked like it was about to drip water.

He ignored Luo Xue's words and instead roughly rolled up his sleeves again.

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, inhale, let's save our lives first."

Luo Xue looked at the warm arm in front of her, but gently shook her head.

"No."

She closed her eyes, her voice conveying a sense of utter relief and deathly stillness.

"The Blood Demon Sect is gone, my master is gone, I'm not even as good as a cripple."

"Revenge? That's a joke. I'm really tired, I don't want to struggle anymore..."

Lin Mo's arm froze in mid-air.

Looking at Luo Xue's lifeless face, he felt a surge of anger rising within him.

This woman truly had no will to live.

If she doesn't want to live, even if she bleeds herself dry, she can't be saved.

The dimly lit stone chamber was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Lin Mo ignored Luo Xue's disheartened words and stared intently at the cracked black jade pendant on Luo Xue's chest.

That was the jade pendant that Luo Xue gave him when she left.

Lin Mo reached out and ripped the jade pendant off, then held it between his fingers and shook it.

"I remember you telling me this before you left."

Lin Mo looked at Luo Xue, who was on the verge of death on the Xuanbing bed.

"If we ever meet again, I can exchange this jade pendant for one of my wishes. Do you still stand by that promise?"

Luo Xue looked at the broken jade pendant that symbolized her destiny, a bitter look flashing in her dim red eyes.

She managed to move her bloodless lips with difficulty and nodded slightly.

"It's true. But... my meridians are broken and my heart meridian is depleted, so I really have no ability to help you anymore."

"Just do the math."

Lin Mo interrupted her without any politeness.

Immediately afterwards, under Luo Xue's unsuspecting gaze,

Lin Mo suddenly leaned down, placed his hands on her ears, and kissed her pale lips.

"Hmm!"

Luo Xue's eyes widened, her ashen face filled with astonishment.

She instinctively wanted to turn her head away, but Lin Mo released his lips and stared intently into her eyes.

"What...what are you doing?"

Luo Xue's voice was still trembling.

"I'll save you."

Lin Mo uttered two words, then silenced her with a kiss.

At the same time, his hands were no longer at rest.

The burning hands slid down Luo Xue's shoulders and gently tore open the outer robe stained with black blood that she was wearing.

The sound of the cloth slipping was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent stone chamber.

Luo Xue froze, too weak to resist.

Surprisingly, after the initial shock, she did not speak up to stop Lin Mo.

She looked at Lin Mo's face, which was so close to hers, and her eyes gradually became complicated, finally turning into a deep desolation.

She knew what Lin Mo was going to do.

He simply wanted to possess her before she died.
