The group moved at an extremely fast speed, almost flying at full speed.

Su Han held Bi Yao tightly in his arms, using his own true essence to form a stable protective shield, isolating her from the impact of the airflow brought about by the high-speed movement.

He lowered his head, his gaze almost never leaving Biyao's face.

The life force of the earth vein spiritual milk circulated within her body, barely sustaining the flame of life, but the resentful aura was like a bone-deep sore, constantly consuming this life force and spreading at the wound, preventing it from healing.

Biyao's brows would occasionally furrow slightly in pain, and her long eyelashes would tremble slightly, but she never woke up.

Lu Xueqi silently followed beside Su Han, looking at the person in his arms with complicated emotions, and then at Su Han's tense profile.

She had cultivated herself in seclusion for many years, and her heart was rarely disturbed. But today, Biyao's resolute collision and her blood-stained yet smiling face left a deep mark on her heart.

It was an emotion she had never experienced before, so intense that she was willing to sacrifice herself.

She couldn't understand it, yet she was deeply shocked.

"Why...why did she save me?" Lu Xueqi's voice was very soft, almost inaudible in the howling wind.

Su Han's body trembled slightly. He didn't turn around, but simply hugged Bi Yao tighter, his voice low and deep:

"She... has always been like that. She seems quirky and sometimes even a bit willful and mischievous, but her heart... is more genuine and warmer than anyone else's."

Lu Xueqi fell silent.

She recalled the way Biyao usually looked at Su Han, and the complex and unfathomable look in her eyes when she occasionally glanced at her, and she seemed to understand something.

“I will save her,” Lu Xueqi suddenly said, her tone firm, “no matter the cost.”

Su Han glanced at her, saw the determination in her clear, cold eyes, and nodded: "Let's go together."

The stone mountain ahead frequently consulted the map and adjusted its direction.

This mountain range is vast and deep. Although the vengeful corpse has been eliminated, no one can guarantee that there will be no other dangers.

Eight hundred miles is not a long distance for cultivators of their level under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, with Biyao critically injured, every minute and second felt exceptionally long.

Su Han could clearly feel the life force of the person in his arms slowly but steadily slipping away, like sand through his fingers.

"Faster!" he urged impatiently, his eyes bloodshot again.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Su, we're not far ahead! Once we pass through this black pine forest, we'll see the stronghold!" Shi Yue was also extremely anxious, and he used all his magical power.

……

Half an hour later, a simple camp made of gray-white rocks came into view.

The camp was built against the mountain, with simple warning and defense formations set up around it. A faint earthy yellow spiritual light flowed around it, just like the style of Zhenyue Pagoda.

"We've arrived!" Shi Yue's spirits lifted, and he landed first, casting a spell.

A portal opened in the camp's array of light, and two disciples dressed in the attire of the Zhenyue Tower came out to greet them. Upon seeing Shi Yue, they quickly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Shi! You're back! This is…"

Their gazes fell on Biyao, who was seriously injured in Su Han's arms, and they were immediately shocked.

"Don't ask any more questions! Activate the teleportation array immediately, we need to return to the mountain gate right away! This young lady is seriously injured and urgently needs treatment!" Shi Yue hurriedly ordered.

"Yes!" The two disciples dared not delay, and one of them immediately turned around and ran towards the center of the camp.

There was a simple teleportation array there, made of several mid-grade spirit stones and special ores. It wasn't large, and the light was somewhat dim, clearly only for short-distance, fixed-point teleportation. Su Han, carrying Bi Yao, stepped into the array.

Lu Xueqi, Shi Yue, and others followed closely behind.

"Start!" Shi Yue shouted.

The disciples guarding the formation immediately embedded several spirit stones into the grooves, formed hand seals, and activated the formation.

hum!
A spatial fluctuation occurred, and a grayish-white light enveloped everyone.

After a brief period of dizziness, the scene before my eyes had changed drastically.

It was no longer a deep, secluded forest, but rather the mouth of a relatively open valley.

In the distance, the outline of a majestic, continuous mountain range could be vaguely seen, and the concentration of spiritual energy had also increased significantly.

This is already the outer area of ​​Zhenyue Pagoda Mountain Gate.

"Let's go! Head straight to the 'Hou Tu Hall'. Elder Mu is on duty today; he's an expert in healing and exorcising evil spirits!" Shi Yue determined the direction and immediately led the way.

Su Han remained silent, holding Bi Yao and following closely behind Shi Yue.

Lu Xueqi remained by his side throughout. The Tianya Sword was sheathed, but a faint sword intent emanated from her, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Along the way, they encountered some disciples of Zhenyue Tower. Seeing Shi Yue leading a group of strangers at a rapid pace, especially the blood-stained green-clad woman in Su Han's arms, they all cast surprised glances, but no one dared to step forward and ask questions.

Before long, a grand hall built of thick, yellowish-brown stone appeared in front of them.

The hall doors are open, ancient and weathered, with the three simple characters "Hou Tu Dian" (meaning "Hou Tu Hall") carved on the lintel.

Before even entering, a unique aura of rich herbs mixed with earth elemental energy wafted over.

"Elder Mu! Elder Mu! Quickly save people!" Shi Yue's voice arrived before he did, filled with urgency.

Inside the hall, an elderly man dressed in a brown robe, with a lean face and three long wisps of beard, was flipping through a jade slip. Hearing the sound, he looked up and frowned slightly: "Shi Yue? What's the matter that you're in such a hurry... Hmm?"

His gaze was instantly drawn to Biyao in Su Han's arms, especially to the grotesque bone spur still piercing through her body, which made his pupils shrink.

"Such a heavy aura of resentment! Quickly, put it on that 'Soul-Soothing Jade Bed' over there!" Elder Mu suddenly stood up and pointed to a pure white jade bed with a soft, warm luster on one side of the main hall.

Su Han immediately and carefully laid Bi Yao on the jade bed.

The jade bed warmed her body, and the soft white light it emitted seemed to have some effect on stabilizing her soul and calming her breath. Biyao's body, which had been trembling slightly due to pain, calmed down a little.

Elder Mu flashed to the bedside, quickly placing his fingers on Biyao's wrist pulse point, and probing in with a wisp of pure, thick, earth-yellow true essence.

After a moment, his brows furrowed tightly.

"A penetrating wound, severe damage to her lungs and internal organs, but that's not the most troublesome thing," Elder Mu said in a deep voice. "The most troublesome thing is the resentful aura attached to these bone spurs. It's extremely pure and poisonous, and has already invaded the vicinity of her heart meridian. It's also showing signs of intertwining with her own magical power, constantly eroding her life force. Earth Vein Spirit Milk? You gave her Earth Vein Spirit Milk? Fortunately, otherwise she wouldn't have lasted this long. But the power of the spirit milk is also almost completely worn away by this resentful aura."

"Elder Mu, is it possible to save him? If you need anything, just say the word!" Su Han's voice was a little hoarse from nervousness, and his eyes were fixed on Elder Mu.

Lu Xueqi also stepped forward, her cool eyes filled with earnestness.

Elder Mu glanced at Su Han and Lu Xueqi, then at the anxious Shi Yue, knowing that this person must be of great importance.

"There is a way to treat it, but it is extremely dangerous and requires several things." (End of Chapter)
