After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Just as Lin Fengmian's consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness—

A sudden change has occurred!

Suddenly, a look of extreme struggle appeared on Wen Rushuang's beautiful face!

Those crimson eyes trembled violently, and deep within them, a familiar spark of life appeared—

That was the original Wen Rushuang!

"Master...

She spoke haltingly, her voice hoarse and pained, each word seeming to be forced out from between her teeth:

"Please...please don't...hurt Young Master Lin..."

Her voice was filled with pleading and pain, a stark contrast to her usual aloofness and arrogance.

Her body was trembling violently, as if two forces were tearing her apart inside her!

"snort!"

Another voice emanated from within her, aged and chilling, carrying an undeniable authority:

"You mere remnant soul dares to defy me? Suppress it immediately!"

That was her master's voice!

Lin Fengmian could clearly sense that a fierce battle for souls was taking place within Wen Rushuang's body.

Two soul forces collided wildly in her sea of ​​consciousness, and the consciousness that originally belonged to Wen Rushuang was now fighting desperately for him!

She was actually using her own soul to resist the old monster's attempt to possess her!

"Young Master Lin! Let's go quickly!"

Wen Rushuang's voice suddenly became clear for a moment, filled with determination!

Then, her face changed wildly, sometimes in pain, sometimes in a ferocious expression, her features so distorted that her original beautiful face was almost unrecognizable!

In her crimson eyes, clarity and madness flickered alternately as she used her willpower to desperately hold onto the old monster's soul!

Taking advantage of this brief window of opportunity she had secured—

Lin Fengmian discovered that the invisible chains binding him seemed to have loosened by an inch!

It's now!

His eyes suddenly blazed with fury, and a look of hatred appeared on them!

Immediately afterwards, he frantically activated the "Great Sun Pagoda Technique" without any regard for the consequences!

The pure yang energy erupted from the remaining foundation, like a volcanic eruption, and the violent power swept through the whole body!

"Break it!"

He roared inwardly!

"Bang--!"

The invisible chains shattered inch by inch!

Lin Fengmian was instantly free!

Without hesitation, he withdrew and retreated rapidly, his figure flashing as he leaped several meters away! At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"Wen Rushuang! Wake up! Do you want to be a puppet for the rest of your life? Or do you want to be yourself again?!"

This loud shout, like a thunderclap, exploded in Wen Rushuang's mind!

Wen Rushuang's body trembled violently, and a clear struggle suddenly flashed in her bloodshot eyes!

She bit her lower lip hard, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, staining her snow-white chin red. With all her remaining strength, she roared hoarsely:

"Master...you can't...control me!"

Lin Fengmian's scalp tingled instantly!

He could clearly feel that Wen Rushuang's life force was rapidly weakening! Her soul was already severely damaged, and now she was having to distract herself to buy him time; she was clearly burning her own soul!

This woman was actually doing her best to buy him time!

"Young Master Lin...you go first...I'm fine for now..."

Wen Rushuang's voice was broken and weak, almost inaudible:

"If it gets any later... it will be too late!"

Lin Fengmian instantly regained his senses!

Escape! We must escape immediately!

What a load of bullshit! What a load of bullshit!

If we don't leave now, not only will we die, but Wen Rushuang's sacrifice will also be in vain!

His spiritual root was running wildly, and his whole body was enveloped in a layer of pale golden light. His figure instantly transformed into a burning streak of light, and he fled desperately into the depths of Xuan Yin Valley without looking back!

"Young man! You can't escape!"

Behind them came the old monster's sharp, soul-piercing roar, mixed with Wen Rushuang's painful groans and resistance.

Lin Fengmian's heart was pounding; he knew that simply running wouldn't do!

That old monster possessed a Nascent Soul level soul, and his speed was far beyond what he could match!

His eyes hardened, and he darted into a secluded crevice in the rocks, a thought forming in his mind—

He directly entered the jade pendant space!

"Damn it! That was terrifying! Finally, we're safe..."

He collapsed onto the ground of the Frozen Cave, gasping for breath, his body drenched in cold sweat. But the next moment, he suddenly leaped up:

"No! That woman probably won't last much longer! I can't just stay in the jade pendant space forever!"

His gaze swept across the space, and suddenly he fixed his eyes on the Yin-Yang Water he had collected earlier.

"I'll give it my all! I must become stronger as quickly as possible!"

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth and directly drew a drop of Yinming Water into his body!

The biting cold instantly froze his meridians, and the excruciating pain nearly made him faint! But his body, strengthened by the Great Sun Floating Pagoda Technique, withstood it! The clash of Yin and Yang actually loosened his long-standing bottleneck slightly!

"it works!"

Lin Fengmian's eyes were bloodshot as he fixed his gaze on the two Yinming Corpse Kings that he had casually acquired earlier.

Refine it!

Only by refining a corpse monster might there be any hope of turning the tide!

First attempt, failed!

The backlash from the corpse demon's dark and deathly aura caused him to spit out blood, and his internal organs were churning!

The second attempt failed!

The bones in his right arm were creaking and cracking from the erosion of death energy, as if they were about to shatter at any moment!

"Give it to me... okay!!!"

The third time, Lin Fengmian cast the Blood Burning Curse, decisively burning his essence blood! Pure Yang essence mixed with a wisp of Yin energy that he had just refined was brutally poured into the Corpse King's head!

Om-!

The Corpse King suddenly opened its eyes, and a ghostly green soul fire ignited within them!

But just as Lin Fengmian was overjoyed, a broken yet vast ancient battle spirit phantom suddenly appeared inside the Corpse King's body!

Lin Fengmian's expression changed drastically!

No way? How come there are old monsters everywhere?!

"Young friend, don't panic."

The ancient war spirit's voice was weathered, yet its tone carried a hint of relief:

"I have been fully aware of everything you have done for the Land of Desolation..."

Lin Fengmian was stunned.

The phantom of the ancient war spirit grew fainter, yet its voice clearly entered his mind:

"I am an ancient demon-suppressing guardian, my remnant soul is about to dissipate. Young friend, you have an extraordinary destiny; before reincarnation, I can still do one thing for you to settle your karmic debts... Speak."

Lin Fengmian did not hesitate, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes:

"Senior, I beg you to save my companion! She's being possessed!"

"Okay, take me there."

The ancient war spirit nodded, and its remnant soul's will transformed into a golden light that entered the Corpse King.

……

Before the boundary marker of the underworld.

Wen Rushuang lay in a pool of blood, her eyes unfocused, with only a sliver of clarity desperately resisting the erosion of her master's soul.

Her clothes were stained red with blood, her beautiful face was completely pale, and her breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

"My disciple, why struggle? Just obey me, and I promise to let your soul reincarnate..."
