  "Qingyun, brother, wait...!" Qingxue's voice was extremely weak. This caused Lieteng, who had just flown out a zhang, to stop in his tracks. Although Lieteng was wary of Qingxue, the weakness in her voice made him somewhat perplexed. With Qingxue's cultivation, if she wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as turning over her hand, but now...

  Suddenly, Lie Teng's eyes lit up, could it be that Qing Xue was injured? After a moment of contemplation, he turned around and landed beside a small cave on the mountain peak. He looked down towards the entrance of the cave and found a figure lying in the dimly lit opening. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't Qing Xue, but who else could it be? Lie Teng had no good feelings towards Qing Xue, instead he felt some disgust. He said calmly: "Qing Xue shi jie, what's going on?"

  Qing Xue lay motionless on the ground, but her spiritual eyes were fixed anxiously on Lie Teng, her gaze filled with a hint of astonishment. Previously, she had only recognized his voice and asked impulsively, but now that she saw Lie Teng standing there unscathed, she couldn't believe he was still alive, and his cultivation had even reached the third layer of gathering spirits. She pursed her pale lips and whispered: "Qing Yun, brother, past matters were unavoidable for sister, I hope you can put aside past grudges."

  Lie Teng sneered inwardly and calmly said: "Qing Xue Shijie, speak quickly, why beat around the bush?"

  Qing Xue lightly bit her lip, a pale face with a hint of pitifulness, her high and protruding chest slightly heaving, said: "Qing Yun Shidi, you must have also seen it, I've suffered quite an injury, it's not convenient for me to move around. Do you see the white Ling medicine in the blood-red lake below the small mountain down there?"

  Lie Teng didn't respond, but instead coldly stared at Qing Xue.

  "Can Qingyun Shizong help Shijie take down that white Lingdan?" Qingxue said in a soft voice, with a hint of pleading in her tone. Her pale face flushed slightly as she spoke, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty thinking about what had happened in the cave, but at this moment, she was unable to move and had no choice but to ask.

  Lieteng coldly said: "Why should I help?"

  Lie Teng's answer was within Qing Xue's expectations, she hesitated for a moment and said: "If Master Qing Yun can help his sister with this matter, I will compensate him with a genuine artifact."

  "Is that so? Why didn't I just take the storage bag directly, I suppose there must be some precious items inside?" Lie Teng sneered, his heart unmoved. He was always on guard against Qing Xue, if she were to suddenly recover and counterattack, then Lie Teng would have no way out but death.

  "Qīng Xuě heard this and her face changed, but it quickly passed. She coldly said: 'Although I am injured, I won't die for the time being. The secret realm will close in thirteen days, I'm afraid it can't be done as you wish, young master.'"

  "Is that so? Then I'll just kill you now!" Lie Teng coldly snorted, and the scarlet spirit sword emitted a clear ringing sound, its blade pointing towards Qing Xue. Qing Xue's face greatly changed, her eyes flashing with shame and anger, her chest heaving violently, her voice as cold as ice, like the chill of a thousand years, she said: "Although I'm heavily injured, I still haven't lost all my strength to resist, Qing Yun, if you want to take my life, it won't be that easy."

  Liè Téng was taken aback, and he had said so much to Qīng Xuě only because he was afraid that Qīng Xuě could use the Four Directions Seal; otherwise, Liè Téng would have taken her life long ago. Immediately, he coldly snorted: "In that case, junior brother will take his leave first." After finishing speaking, Liè Téng stepped onto the Crimson Red Spirit Sword and drove the sword to depart.

  "Junior Brother Qingyun, if you leave now, you will never know what happens to Qingyi." Qingxue saw Lie Teng leaving and used all her strength to shout loudly. After she finished speaking, her entire body seemed to have fainted away.

  Lie Teng's body shook all over, if there was anyone in the cultivation world that Lie Teng still had feelings for, besides Qing Yi it would be Zhang He Zi. At this moment, hearing what Qing Xue said, Lie Teng's face instantly turned icy cold, his eyes bursting with anger, he returned to the entrance of the cave and jumped down, his right hand grasping Qing Xue's snow-white neck like an eagle's claw.

  "Say, where is Qingyi!" Lie Teng suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted. He disliked it most when others used his loved ones to threaten him. At this moment, Qing Xue had undoubtedly touched Lie Teng's reverse scales, but she had no choice but to do so. With only thirteen days left before the secret realm closed, if she didn't let Lie Teng help her retrieve that corpse blood flower, she would surely die.

  "If you don't help me get that white flower, I'll die before I tell." Qing Xue's face turned even paler, but her voice was firm and powerful, her eyes not flinching in the slightest from Lie Teng's murderous gaze.

  Lieteng's breathing became more and more labored, his face almost twisted in a fierce scowl, which was quite frightening. His gaze was like a sword, staring fixedly at Qingxue. The force of his right hand grew stronger and stronger, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from Qingxue's neck. After a moment, Lieteng released his grip and shouted loudly: "Where is Qingyi? If anything happens to her, I will hunt down the killer for my whole life, until their soul is scattered."

  Qing Xue saw Lie Teng's gaze, her heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't make a decision at this time. As the so-called heavenly pampered daughter, when had she ever received such treatment? Her beautiful eyes sparkled with tears as she said: "Bring that spiritual medicine over, and even if you know the secrets of the realm, it's hard to find. Once my injuries are healed, I will definitely bring her back unharmed."

  "What makes you think I believe?" Lie Teng said sternly.

  "Because I'm the only one who knows where she is." Qing Xue said fearlessly.

  Lieteng's face changed drastically, staring tightly at Qingxue. He couldn't choose, he couldn't gamble with Qingyi's life. He loosened his grip, took a deep breath and said: "I can take out that spiritual medicine, but you must swear that after your injuries are healed, you will find Qingyi, and you cannot kill me or Qingyi!"

  "Alright!" Qing Xue said.

  "I swear!" Lieteng shouted loudly!

  "I, Qing Xue, swear that once I recover from my injuries, I will not lay a hand on Qing Yun and Qing Yi. If I break this vow, may heaven and earth destroy me." Qing Xue said weakly.

  Lieteng gave Qingxue a cold glance, his sword flying out of the cave, but Qingxue hastily stopped him: "Wait, that spiritual medicine is called Corpse Blood Flower. It's both a sacred and poisonous medicine, the white part above the lake surface contains highly toxic substances. If a cultivator touches it during their practice, they will be severely restricted. If they don't use the sacred medicine from the lower part of the Corpse Blood Flower to treat themselves within a month, their body will rot and die. You must stretch your hand into the lake and retrieve the Corpse Blood Flower, only then won't you be poisoned."

  "Corpse Blood Flower? Practitioners who touch the cultivation under Dan Yu will be sealed and will also rot to death?" Lie Teng was shocked, took a deep breath, and indeed, the cultivation world had such a strange spiritual medicine. Lie Teng wouldn't doubt Qing Xue's words, after all, if he were poisoned, no one could save him. However, Lie Teng suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Qing Xue. Since his cultivation was sealed, how could he resist? But it was useless to say this now, the handle of Qing Yi was in Qing Xue's hands, and he had to do as she said.

  Qing Xue seemed to have also reacted, her face slightly red as she dared not look at Lie Teng.

  At once, Lie Teng flew out of the cave entrance and slowly descended to the foot of the mountain. He came to the side of this blood-red lake and looked at the lake water that was like fresh blood. Lie Teng fell into deep thought, wanting to retrieve the Corpse Flower from the bottom of the lake, but he could only insert his hand into the lake water. He took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hand into the blood-red lake water.

  "This...this!" Lie Teng's expression changed, his eyes disbelieving as he stared at the bright red lake water. The soul within him began to stir on its own, and the red lake water seemed to contain a rich soul power that surged into Lie Teng's hands, flowing along his meridians and entering his soul.
