Chapter 945: Chapter 945

Though it was a situation with a slim chance of survival, wasn’t there the example of Shanxun?

If it were in the past, Yun Jianchu would have already spoken up to stop it. But now...

She wasn’t panicked! Not at all!

Someone would naturally speak up for her!

Nanli said, "I agreed to remove your Demon Bone earlier because I wanted to lure Shanxun out. Now, I won’t let you remove the Demon Bone to prove your loyalty. Even with the utmost caution, it would still endanger your life."

"Couldn’t have said it better!" Yun Jianchu quickly agreed. A family should help each other!

Yun Yubai’s eyes flickered with excitement. Bai Hao, although reluctant to go against Siheng and Nanli, had to consider the future generations as the eldest of the Bai family. He said, "But there are still hidden dangers..."

Siheng replied, "There are only a few Asura Protectors left. We’ll deal with them. As for the Sky-Sundering Battle Axe, I will destroy it."

"That’s a good idea," Chu Yang nodded in agreement. With this, Ximen Chuan couldn’t say anything more.

But soon, Nanli dry heaved a few times out of everyone’s sight. Siheng’s expression changed from before, and he became worried, "A’Li, what’s wrong?" After all, the child had grown much larger, and he was afraid she might not be feeling well.

Nanli waved her hand, "Shanxun... Ugh—I’ll go back first. You take care of the aftermath."

She quickly left, not wanting to stay any longer. Siheng glanced over and noticed that Shanxun’s corpse was rapidly decaying and emitting a foul odor. Anyone who saw it would feel their skin crawl. Siheng also quickly stepped back, wanting to use a spell to burn Shanxun’s body to avoid dirtying everyone’s eyes.

"Wait!" Yun Yubai was anxious, "The key! The key to the handcuffs is still on him!"

Everyone’s expressions became very awkward. It was so disgusting... Could Yun Yubai bear to reach for it?

Yun Jianchu decided to sacrifice herself for her son: "I’ll do it!"

Yun Yubai said, "Mother, thank you, but you’re just a wisp of Demon Soul now. You can’t touch the key."

Yun Jianchu remembered this and said, "Then wait, I’ll ask Nanli to give me another scarecrow." She floated back.

Yun Yubai shook his head gently, deciding to take care of it himself. The corpse continued to decay. Siheng couldn’t bear to look at it. His brows furrowed again and again.

Seeing Yun Yubai walk up as if he were facing death, Siheng quickly shouted, "Stop!"

"Your Majesty?" Yun Yubai was puzzled.

"Step back," Siheng said. After all, he was his cousin, who would likely hold his child in the future. If he didn’t see it today, it was fine, but if he did, this scene would keep replaying in his mind.

Yun Yubai said, "Your Majesty, if we wait any longer, it will become even more disgusting."

He didn’t want to step back. "Just step back," Siheng said, turning his wrist and summoning the Sky-Tearing Sword. Yun Yubai had no choice but to comply.

A flash of cold light split the air. The handcuffs were severed and fell to the ground. The force Siheng used was just right, leaving no marks on Yun Yubai’s wrists. Everyone was astonished. Those handcuffs were no ordinary magical instruments.

Siheng had long been accustomed to people showing surprise, thinking it was nothing special. He had already reached Shandu and the others.

"Your Majesty, shall I take Zen Master Cinian back?" he asked.

Shandu politely declined, "This... this isn’t quite appropriate. How could we trouble Your Majesty?"

Siheng, being straightforward, thought Shandu and the others didn’t want others to touch Cinian, so he said, "Alright, then you take him back. I’ll go and reinforce the formation barriers."

With that, he disappeared in an instant. But soon he was back. He made a hand seal, and a ball of fire shot towards Shanxun’s corpse. Only then did he leave again.

Shandu’s mouth hung open. It seemed Siheng only showed tenderness to Nanli and didn’t care about anyone else’s well-being. Poor Shandu and the others, whose cultivation hadn’t recovered much, had just been suppressed and taught a lesson by Shanxun. They couldn’t exert much spiritual power now.

Shan Yang asked, "Senior brother, we have many people. If we take turns carrying two at a time, we’ll be back at the Joy Spring Platform in no time, don’t you think?"

Shandu looked at his disciples’ pale faces. It was already difficult for them to walk, let alone carry their master back. Their master was on the brink of death and couldn’t be jostled.

He turned to look. Bai Hao immediately said, "Don’t look at me! I’ve broken two ribs!"

Ximen Chuan also winced, "My right shoulder is shattered. Don’t count on me."

Chu Yang, on the other hand, was eager: "Then let me do it!"

But Shandu’s body jolted, and he quickly said, "No, no need."

Chu Yang’s speed when flying by sword would surely worsen their master’s condition. Yun Yubai stepped forward, "I’ll do it." He had already removed the handcuffs, and his Dantian was no longer suppressed.

Shandu felt relieved, "Then I’ll leave it to Master Yun."

Chu Yang pouted, dissatisfied, "Why not me?"

Ximen Chuan was sharp-tongued, "Of course not. With your speed, Zen Master Cinian would be dead before reaching halfway up the mountain."

Chu Yang retorted, "I haven’t tried yet. How do you know?"

"I just know," Ximen Chuan said, "You and Nanli are exactly the same!"

Just then, Yun Yubai had already drawn a Teleportation Talisman. He certainly wouldn’t use a sword to transport someone. Shandu thanked him repeatedly. Using a Teleportation Talisman was the safest option. Master Yun was indeed meticulous.

Chu Yang felt ashamed and a bit uneasy. Since he had learned to fly by sword, he rarely used Teleportation Talismans. Just now, he had indeed only thought of flying by sword, not using a Teleportation Talisman.

Ximen Chuan, seeing his expression, taunted again, "I told you so, right? Master Yun is much better than you."

Chu Yang rolled his eyes. This guy’s face changed so quickly. Just now, he wanted to kill Yun Yubai, and now he was praising someone else. But he narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Ximen, then I’ll give you a ride."

Ximen Chuan’s face immediately changed. "No need!"

"I insist," Chu Yang didn’t care about his refusal and directly grabbed Ximen Chuan’s collar. In the past, Ximen Chuan could still fight Chu Yang to defend his dignity. But now, injured and slow, he couldn’t match Chu Yang’s speed. He was like a little chick.

"No!!!" he screamed, "Chu Yang, put me down!"

In a flash, Chu Yang had already taken Ximen Chuan away. His voice of cursing became much quieter, leaving only a faint echo.

The autumn wind blew. Everyone felt a chill run through their bodies. Bai Hao, fearing that he would also be "given a ride" by Chu Yang, quickly asked Yun Yubai, "Master Yun, could you draw a Teleportation Talisman for me too?"

"Sure," Yun Yubai didn’t show favoritism and drew more than ten talismans, distributing them to everyone. By the time they all safely returned to the Joy Spring Platform, they could still hear Ximen Chuan’s cursing. Of course, they couldn’t see where Chu Yang was flying. Shandu and the others couldn’t worry about that. They hastily carried Cinian into the room. Seeing Cinian’s ashen face and even weaker breath, their already anxious hearts ached even more.
