Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Xue'er, you stay here and watch over Lin Yaoxie. I'll be right back," Jiang Ziya said to Ouyang Xue.

Ouyang Xue nodded, telling Jiang Ziya to go about his business.

After Jiang Ziya left, Ouyang Xue sat down next to Lin Yaoxie, looking at him lying on the bed. "Junior Brother, how could you be so foolish? I don't even know how to thank you now." Looking at the person in front of her, tears welled up in Ouyang Xue's eyes.

He looked so worried. This junior brother, whom he had only known for a few days, was actually using the Nuwa Stone to protect everyone in order to protect himself.

Even if it means exhausting my spiritual energy, I'm willing to do it.

Lin Yaoxie didn't think it was a big deal, because he was the most powerful among them, and protecting them was what he should do.

Regardless of the reason or who the other party is, it's something that's on Lin Yaoxie's mind right now.

As Ouyang Xue thought about it, her eyes filled with tears.

"You're so foolish," Ouyang Xue said softly, holding Lin Yaoxie's hand.

Lin Yaoxie, 617, seemed to sense something as well. His previously anxious mood began to gradually improve.

Ouyang Xue slowly closed her eyes, lay down next to Lin Yaoxie, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

Time passed second by second, but when Ouyang Xue woke up, Lin Yaoxie still showed no signs of waking up.

"Is it because you used up too much spiritual energy?" Ouyang Xue muttered to herself. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have needed you to come." Ouyang Xue slowly helped Lin Yaoxie sit up, intending to transfer spiritual energy to him.

Chapter Sixty-Three Attracting Energy

Just as Ouyang Xue was about to channel spiritual energy into Lin Yaoxie, Nezha suddenly burst in. Nezha looked at her with surprise and asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with him?"

Ouyang Xue looked at the person in front of her, shook her head, and said, "He poured his spiritual power into the Nuwa Stone in an attempt to draw out the energy within it. However, because he consumed too much spiritual power, he now has no spiritual power left."

Nezha nodded and went to Lin Yaoxie's side. Looking at Lin Yaoxie, who was still unconscious, Nezha felt a mix of emotions. It was a feeling he couldn't quite describe; he felt incredibly sad.

"Senior sister, is this spiritual power enough?" Nezha asked, looking at the person in front of him.

The red light enveloped the two of them, and the infusion of spiritual energy filled Lin Yaoxie's body with a warm sensation. Lin Yaoxie felt his entire body becoming very comfortable.

However, Ouyang Xue's face didn't look good right now. It seemed to be because she had overused her own spiritual energy while transferring it to Lin Yaoxie. But looking at the person in front of her, it was unclear what she wanted to say.

"Senior Sister?" Looking at Ouyang Xue's current state of distress, she seemed to be in so much pain.

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Nezha was very worried about Ouyang Xue. Ouyang Xue was also feeling a lingering fear. Looking at the person in front of her, she didn't know what to say, but given her current state... Looking at the person in front of her, Lin Yaoxie was completely bewildered by the situation.

Ouyang Xue waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. However, her brows were furrowed tightly, and she looked like she couldn't figure it out.

"Why? Why is his body like this?" Ouyang Xue looked at the person in front of her in surprise. "Why? It shouldn't be like this." Seeing Ouyang Xue's surprised look, Nezha came up to her, patted her shoulder, and asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong? What happened?" Seeing Ouyang Xue's surprised look, Nezha was also very nervous.

"I'm not sure if that's true, but given how it is now, I think it is," Ouyang Xue said, puzzled.

Nezha didn't understand what Ouyang Xue was saying, because what Ouyang Xue was saying now seemed completely inexplicable.

Ouyang Xue's expression grew increasingly surprised, but now it turned into terror. Looking at the person in front of her, she didn't know what to say. She was at a loss for what to do in this situation.

"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Nezha felt that Ouyang Xue was about to go crazy, and he was getting nervous too.

Ouyang Xue wanted to say something, so she turned to look at Nezha, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

She couldn't understand why her martial uncle would take Lin Yaoxie as his disciple when he was clearly like this. What was the reason? Could it really be the Nuwa Stone?

Remembering the Nuwa Stone, Ouyang Xue hurried to find it, but found nothing.

Chapter Sixty-Four Worries

Ouyang Xue searched many places, but found nothing. A sense of unease crept into her heart.

"Junior brother, don't blame your senior sister." Ouyang Xue said quietly to Lin Yaoxie. After saying that, she began to search Lin Yaoxie's body for the female spirit stone.

However, Nezha had no idea what Ouyang Xue was looking for. In his eyes, all of Ouyang Xue's actions appeared frivolous. He never imagined that his senior sister, who had always been so kind to him since childhood, would become like this.

"Senior sister, what exactly do you want to do?" Nezha grabbed Ouyang Xue and asked anxiously, looking into her big eyes.

Nezha is very worried that Ouyang Xue might be frightened, but now that 620 has come, he doesn't know why.

Ouyang Xue turned to look at Nezha. She seemed to want to say something, but then, as if she had thought of something, she said nothing. Nezha was very anxious seeing Ouyang Xue like this. He wanted to ask, but Ouyang Xue dismissed him.

Nezha left with a sullen expression.

Ouyang Xue came to Lin Yaoxie again and searched him once more, but found nothing.

"Junior brother, do you really know nothing?" Ouyang Xue looked at the still unconscious man and asked softly, "It would be good if you knew nothing, but what if you did know..."

Ouyang Xue glanced at Lin Yaoxie one last time before turning and leaving.

After Ouyang Xue left, Lin Yaoxie slowly opened his eyes.

What is it? Senior sister, why don't you tell me?

Lin Yaoxie slowly closed his eyes and entered meditation once again. Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yaoxie didn't know what he was thinking.

And what exactly is this Nuwa Stone? In his memory, the Nuwa Stone was just a very powerful stone, but now, Ouyang Xue seemed very anxious about this Nuwa Stone, and he didn't know what it was.

According to Jiang Ziya, the Nuwa Stone in his hand is the main stone, while the Nuwa Stone in Shen Gongbao's hand is the secondary stone. But what is the difference between the main stone and the secondary stone? What are their respective abilities? Jiang Ziya seems to have never told him any of these things.

However, the fact remains that the Nuwa Stone in his possession has indeed caused some inexplicable phenomena. Moreover, Jiang Ziya has not told him anything about these phenomena.

For example, when he used the Nuwa Stone, it would devour his spiritual power. Moreover, it was as if some terrifying monster was endlessly sucking away his spiritual power. Just thinking about it now made Lin Yaoxie feel very nervous.

"Master, what else are you hiding from me?" Lin Yaoxie asked quietly. But Jiang Ziya was no longer there, and now, looking at the person in front of him, he didn't know what he wanted to say.

Lin Yaoxie had only just woken up, and he didn't know how long Jiang Ziya had been gone. He only remembered feeling very comfortable the moment Ouyang Xue channeled her spiritual energy into him.

She slowly woke up.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Secret

Lin Yaoxie found it strange, because he had never heard of the Nuwa Stone absorbing a person's spiritual energy. Moreover, the Nuwa Stone was different from the one in the legends, so Lin Yaoxie decided that he should be more careful.

Lin Yaoxie then sat down for a moment and began to restore his spiritual energy. Lin Yaoxie didn't believe a Nuwa Stone could possess such power, which could only mean that the Nuwa Stone held a secret.

After a while, Lin Yaoxie stood up. Although he didn't know what secrets the Nuwa Stone contained, his spiritual energy had almost recovered.

He believed that his senior sister must know something, but why didn't she tell him?

What could possibly make my senior sister, who never hides anything from me, refuse to tell me even when I'm unconscious? This Nuwa Stone must hold a secret.

Lin Yaoxie immersed himself in the story again. Today, he was determined to find out what this Nuwa Stone was. According to his master, Jiang Ziya, this Nuwa Stone was used by the Goddess Nuwa to mend the sky.

In essence, spirit stones have nothing special about them, but Nuwa stones are different because they accompany the goddess Nuwa, and thus possess powerful spiritual energy.

When Lin Yaoxie went back inside, he found that the entire Nuwa Stone had changed. The Nuwa Stone was now unusually calm, but Lin Yaoxie knew this.

Since I didn't experience this when I was using the Nuwa Stone, there can only be one explanation: some entity within the Nuwa Stone is absorbing my spiritual energy.

Some evil spirits in the spiritual forest don't take him seriously, but he can't keep something that can devour his spiritual energy by his side at any time, as that would leave him with hidden dangers.

The deeper Lin Yaoxie's divine sense immersed himself, the more he discovered the subtleties of this Nuwa Stone. Deep within the Nuwa Stone, there was a phantom figure, which Lin Yaoxie recognized at a glance as the Goddess Nuwa.

Although it is just a phantom, it should be a record made by Nuwa Stone itself when Nuwa was cultivating. If this phantom were to open its eyes, then Nuwa Stone would probably be reduced to ashes.

Because his strength was utterly worthless in the face of such a powerful being, he cleverly walked past him.

Lin Yaoxie discovered that the Nuwa Stone seemed to be a self-contained space, and the scenery inside was very strange. Unlike the outside world, it did not have day and night.

Inside, it was only daytime, and the sun's rays made the air quite hot. Lin Yaoxie was still somewhat unwilling to give up; if he couldn't find it himself, then he would have no choice but to seek help from his master, Jiang Ziya.

..0

Jiang Ziya probably didn't want to die inside the Nuwa Stone either. Besides, the Nuwa Stone absorbs his spiritual energy every time it's used, and even if he's incredibly powerful, he doesn't have that much spiritual energy to sustain it.

Lin Yaoxie didn't believe that the Nuwa Stone would absorb his spiritual energy for no reason, so he walked inside. He believed that as long as he explored the entire space, he would eventually find out the reason.

Persistence pays off. After walking for an unknown distance, Lin Yaoxie finally spotted a colossal figure deep within the Nuwa Stone. He swallowed hard, never expecting such a massive creature to be found here!

Chapter Sixty-Six: A Divine Dragon

Lin Yaoxie was completely taken aback to find a divine dragon here—no, there were two. One of them was a smaller one, which greatly surprised him.

"Young man, how could you possibly get in here!" An aged voice rang out, causing Lin Yaoxie to feel a sense of dread from the depths of his soul.

As if his thoughts had been seen through by that voice, Lin Yaoxie knew he couldn't dwell on it, because the more he agonized over "June 20th," the more he would lose.

"How could we cultivators be frightened by a mere two shouts! Break!" Lin Yaoxie roared, then made a hand seal, but unfortunately, not a trace of spiritual energy appeared.

"Everything you rely on is useless here. This is hell for human cultivators. Rest in peace!" After this voice fell, there was no more sound.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was feeling happy, before a smile could even appear on his lips, a tremendous pressure pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

This pressure actually surpasses the pressure Jiang Ziya exerted on me; it seems I really won't be able to get out this time.

But the thought of dying here made Lin Yaoxie very unhappy. Why should he die here?

Besides, he hadn't done anything yet, and to perish here like this was truly unpleasant. But he had absolutely no way to resist this oppressive aura; he was certain that even if Jiang Ziya were here, Ye would still fail.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Blood Burning Technique!" Lin Yaoxie had already given it his all, but the voice from the other side came again, and then a force struck his body. It was his infallible technique!

"Here, all magic is ineffective." The voice rang out once more, but this time, he saw a person appear before him.

“I am the voice from just now,” the old man said, revealing two horns on his head. Lin Yaoxie understood.

"Are you this dragon?" Lin Yaoxie couldn't believe it. He hadn't expected the dragon to still be alive. He wished he hadn't come in. But if he hadn't come in, he wouldn't have been able to find out what secrets the Nuwa Stone held.

"Yes, as you can see, I am indeed a dragon, but I am about to die," the dragon said. He had no choice; it was already extremely difficult for him to hold on any longer.

"What does the old man need me to do?" Lin Yaoxie was smart enough to know that the only way to get out was to listen to this dragon. He knew that with his strength, he had no hope of escaping.

"Not bad, you're still quite calm, but your strength is a bit lacking. However, with the Nuwa Stone, your future achievements are limitless." The dragon hadn't seen anyone in a long time.

"This is the space of the Nuwa Stone. This is my grandson. We were framed, otherwise we wouldn't have needed to hide here. I want you to help take care of my grandson. In return, I will tell you how to get out. How about it?"

Old Dragon already knew his days were numbered. If he remained inside, he probably wouldn't last two or three years. With his abilities, he couldn't break free from the barrier set up by Nuwa.

Since this young man was able to get in, it means he must have already obtained the Nuwa Stone, and he doesn't want his grandson to die here as well.

Moreover, time inside the Nuwa Stone is completely different from that outside; he no longer knows how much time has passed outside.

Chapter Sixty-Seven was originally for you.

"Alright, I can agree to your request and take Xiaolong out, but you have to let me out first. Also, I need to ask you why my spiritual energy was devoured by the Nuwa Stone?" This was a common problem for Lin Yaoxie; he didn't want to leave without knowing why, so he had to get an answer.

"You mean the Nuwa Stone is devouring your spiritual energy?" The old dragon was somewhat incredulous, because he didn't believe anyone could gain the Nuwa Stone's recognition.

"Don't worry, you will never have your spiritual energy devoured by the Nuwa Stone again. Also, you must not tell anyone about what's inside the Nuwa Stone, understand? I'll send you out now!"

Old Dragon could say no more; he could only send them out quickly so they would be affected by the barrier and never be able to get out again.

"Then I'll leave it to you, sir." Lin Yaoxie knew that the most urgent thing now was to get out, otherwise he didn't know what might happen to him inside.

When Lin Yaoxie woke up, he found himself lying in bed, and he was still conscious.
