Gu Qianying had no time to worry about her own body.
“Unless, demonic power, only demonic power can save him, but… you have completely lost all demonic power within your body, and Su Cheng’s body can only last for three hours. After three hours, he will…”
Xuan Ling Nü poured Gu Qianying a cup of hot tea and helped her wipe the blood from her face and hands.
This blood was not Gu Qianying’s. Xuan Ling Nü saw that it looked like Su Cheng’s blood.
It was likely that Su Cheng’s life would be even shorter than an hour.
Xuan Ling Nü did not tell Gu Qianying this.
She could tell how Gu Qianying felt about Su Cheng.
Furthermore, although she had been in seclusion cultivating in Gu Qianying’s sea of consciousness, she was aware of everything Gu Qianying had experienced.
Before, she had wanted to end her seclusion, but the heavy Yin energy in the cellar had prevented her from doing so.
But now it was different; she had completed her seclusion and could emerge.
After taking Gu Qianying’s pulse, Xuan Ling Nü understood why Gu Qianying was so weak.
“Master, you have been infected with a蛊 (gu). This kind of poison cannot be detected by taking the pulse, and ordinary doctors are also incapable of detecting it.”
As she spoke, Xuan Ling Nü used her spiritual power to remove the gu poison from Gu Qianying’s body.
It was a worm, red and resembling a caterpillar, parasitizing on Gu Qianying’s wrist.
After pulling out the gu worm, Xuan Ling Nü used her spiritual power to heal the wound on Gu Qianying’s wrist.
Gu Qianying, sitting on the chair, felt spiritual power return to her body the moment Xuan Ling Nü pulled out the gu worm.
At the same time, her strength also returned.
Gu Qianying immediately stood up and went to the bedside, sitting next to Su Cheng.
Seeing Gu Qianying moving freely, Su Cheng’s lips curved into a smile.
“Qianying, it’s so good that you’re alright, so good.”
Su Cheng’s voice was very weak at this moment, and his complexion was even worse than before.
Seeing Su Cheng still concerned about her even in his final moments, Gu Qianying’s tears flowed uncontrollably again.
She raised her palm, gathering all the spiritual power within her body into her palm.
Gu Qianying began to transfer spiritual power to Su Cheng.
Xuan Ling Nü watched from the side.
“Master, it’s useless. Spiritual power is of no use to him.”
After several attempts, the result was the same as Xuan Ling Nü’s efforts.
Su Cheng’s body rejected spiritual power and could not absorb it.
“Qianying, don’t do this. Protect yourself well, don’t waste time on me.”
Su Cheng knew his body very well.
It was precisely because of this that he wanted to dissuade Gu Qianying.
Spiritual power was cultivated by those of higher status.
As someone with Yin gu, he was unable to cultivate spiritual power.
In both the Nan Yi Kingdom and the Bei Ling Kingdom, there were not many people who cultivated spiritual power.
Some people still possessed spiritual power, but it was not strong.
Some people, after acquiring internal energy, could not break through any further.
At this moment, all he wished was for Gu Qianying to live well.
To not care about him.
It was his fate.
“It seems only demonic power can save him.”
Gu Qianying covered Su Cheng with a blanket, keeping him warm.
She walked away from the bedside and took the tea that Xuan Ling Nü handed her.
“How can I regain demonic power? Do I need to abolish the spiritual power within my body?”
Gu Qianying put down the teacup and looked up at Xuan Ling Nü.
Her question startled Xuan Ling Nü, who immediately knelt at her feet: “Master, absolutely not. Demonic power has completely disappeared from your body. You have finally gained spiritual power within your body. If you discard your spiritual power to regain demonic power, you will become a demonic person again.”
“Demonic ladies cannot marry people from the immortal realm, and demonic people are also enemies of the immortal realm. If the Lotus Emperor’s reincarnation and tribulation end and he returns, how will you be with him then?”
Xuan Ling Nü had learned of the feelings between Nan Gong Mo and Gu Qianying.
“But… Su Cheng is Nan Gong Mo. If he dies now, has Nan Gong Mo’s reincarnation and tribulation ended? Or has his mission not been completed?”
“What? Are you saying he is the Lotus Emperor?”
Xuan Ling Nü looked at Su Cheng, who was lying on the bed, with surprise.
She had never imagined that Su Cheng was Nan Gong Mo.
“But… Master, if he is truly the Lotus Emperor, why is there not a trace of spiritual power within him, and why can he not accept the transfer of spiritual power?”
Xuan Ling Nü was filled with confusion.
Gu Qianying closed her eyes.
“In this life, he is just Su Cheng.”
This question was actually quite easy to understand.
Reincarnation and tribulation, a new identity, and rebirth into the next life would all be different from the previous life.
And the new identity would have to experience new things, new environments, all of which would be different.
In this life, Nan Gong Mo was just Su Cheng.
And when she discovered that Su Cheng was Nan Gong Mo, it was because she was very familiar with Nan Gong Mo, which allowed her to recognize him in this life.
If she were not familiar with him, she might not have recognized Nan Gong Mo in this life.
“I see. Then, Master, you are going to…”
“Save him, so that he in this life can complete his tribulation mission and welcome the next reincarnation and tribulation.”
“If that’s the case, then Master, are you prepared to become a demonic lady again?”
Xuan Ling Nü remained kneeling at Gu Qianying’s feet.
Gu Qianying turned her gaze to her and helped her up: “Do you have a way? Hurry and tell me, Su Cheng’s time is running out.”
“Yin Mountain, Yin Land, evil spirits, all need to be summoned. Evil souls are also what Master needs to summon. But before that, Master needs to completely dissipate all the spiritual power within your body. And when you regain demonic power, you need someone to protect you under the Yin formation.”
“Otherwise, all your summons will attract the attention of other demonic individuals. At the same time, you will also need to drink the blood of Yin spirits to gain the trust of those evil spirits that are summoned.”
Having said this, Xuan Ling Nü thought for a moment and then added: “Master, if you cannot control yourself when regaining demonic power, you will fall into a state of madness. Do you truly wish to do this?”
Xuan Ling Nü asked with great concern.
Gu Qianying nodded without hesitation: “Yes, I have made up my mind.”
“Xuan Ling Nü, your appearance will be sensed by Bai Ze. Summon Bai Ze and the Flood Dragon A Mu. You and Bai Ze will guard Su Cheng and protect his safety. Let the Flood Dragon A Mu accompany me to… find Yin Mountain and Yin Land… actually, no need to search. Return to the Su Mansion with me. We will be back within three hours.”
All the people in the Su family had died, and blood flowed like a river. Therefore, this place of the Su family was a Yin Land, where there would be many Yin souls…
“Yes, Master.”
Xuan Ling Nü obeyed Gu Qianying’s command.
Then, she spread her arms, facing the door, and chanted the summoning spell…
This was the secret code between her and Bai Ze…
Under Xuan Ling Nü’s summons, the sky changed abnormally. Under the dense dark clouds, a giant dragon appeared in the sky.
“Roar…”
As the roar of the giant dragon approached from afar, many citizens on the street exclaimed: “Look quickly, what is that?”
“It’s a dragon, a giant dragon…”
