In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

The moment the bone spur detaches from the body, a surge of resentment and malevolence will erupt. At that moment, your Heavenly Thunder will be needed to precisely penetrate the wound and cleanse the resentment and malevolence!

Lu Xueqi nodded, the Tianya Sword already drawn, pointing diagonally at the ground, purple lightning beginning to leap and condense on its blade. Her aura surged, subtly resonating with some vast power high above, making the air in the hall seem heavy and oppressive.

Su Han clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, oblivious to the blood seeping from them. He stared intently at the bone spur, his inner energy surging, ready to deal with any unexpected event.

"one."

Elder Mu enveloped the tip of the bone spur with his true essence.

"two."

The bone spur moved slightly.

Even while unconscious, Biyao's body trembled slightly instinctively.

Three! Pull!

Elder Mu gave a low shout and suddenly gathered his true essence!
laugh!
The blood-stained, hideous bone spurs were slowly drawn out of Biyao's body by a gentle yet firm force!
"Ugh—!" Biyao let out a painful groan while she was unconscious.

Just as the bone spur completely detached from the body!
A thick, inky black column of energy, filled with endless resentment and deathly silence, suddenly gushed out from that terrifying wound!

The black energy churned, vaguely forming distorted and painful human faces, emitting silent howls, carrying a chilling aura and an aura of destruction, about to explode in all directions and corrode Biyao's body in the opposite direction!
"Now!" Elder Mu's hair and beard stood on end as he fully activated Houtu True Essence, transforming it into layers of yellow light shields that firmly protected Biyao's body, especially her heart meridian, which was as solid as a rock.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple turns into divine thunder. The brilliant power of heaven is drawn with the sword!"

A clear and solemn chanting sounded.

Purple lightning flashed in Lu Xueqi's eyes, and the Heavenly Sword pointed straight at the sky!

Although they were inside the main hall, everyone seemed to hear rolling thunder coming from the heavens above!
Boom!

A pure, dazzling purple lightning bolt, seemingly piercing through the rooftop, crashed down fiercely, guided by the Tianya Sword!
This bolt of lightning was not thick and violent; instead, it was as condensed as a thread and poured into the hideous wound below Biyao's left shoulder with perfect precision!
"laugh--!!!"

When the black energy met the purple lightning, a violent reaction erupted, like cold water being poured into hot oil!
Countless distorted, vengeful faces screamed and melted away in the thunder!
The supremely yang and powerful Nine Heavens Thunder Gang is the absolute nemesis of such yin, evil, and malevolent energy!
The jet-black column of air was purified and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Biyao's body trembled violently amidst the lightning. Even with Elder Mu's Houtu True Essence protecting her, the penetrating power of the lightning still caused her immense pain, and blood once again spilled from the corner of her mouth.

But Su Han could sense that as the black energy dissipated, the cold, sinister power within Bi Yao's body that had been constantly eroding her life force was rapidly receding!

Lu Xueqi's face was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Drawing upon such pure Heavenly Thunder and controlling it with such precision was extremely taxing on her.

But she gritted her teeth, and the Tianya Sword remained as steady as a rock, continuing to guide the power of thunder and clear away the remaining resentful energy near the wound and in the meridians.

It lasted for a full ten breaths.

The last wisp of black energy was completely annihilated by the purple lightning with a soft popping sound.

As Lu Xueqi withdrew her sword technique, the brilliance of the Tianya Sword receded. Her body swayed slightly, and she used the sword to steady herself. Her breathing was erratic, indicating that she had expended a great deal of energy.

Although Biyao's wound was still a bloody mess, no more black energy was emanating from it. Instead, after being cleansed by the lightning, a faint, faint sign of new life was slowly sprouting.

"Success! The vengeful spirit has been eliminated!" Elder Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands continued to move. He quickly used his true energy to seal Bi Yao's wound, applied the best hemostatic and tissue-regenerating medicine, and carefully bandaged it with clean white gauze.

After finishing all this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly said to Su Han, "The source of the resentment has been removed, but Miss Biyao's vital energy has been severely damaged, and her physical body is seriously injured. She must take the 'Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill' immediately. Young friend Su, the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl!"

Su Han immediately picked up the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl from beside his pillow and, under Elder Mu's guidance, gently placed it on Bi Yao's brow.

The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl shone brightly with white light, its soft glow enveloping Biyao's head. A cool and pure aura seeped into her from between her brows, soothing her restless soul, which was ravaged by pain and resentment.

Biyao's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, and her breathing became more even and longer. Although it was still weak, it no longer felt like it could stop at any moment.

"Fairy Lu, please stay here to recuperate and watch over her. Young friend Su, continue to nourish Biyao's meridians with your true essence, and use the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl to stabilize her soul. I will now go and start refining the pills! I will not leave seclusion until the pills are successful!"

Elder Mu spoke rapidly, and after giving his instructions, he grabbed the spiritual materials and, in a flash, sped off towards the Earth Fire Pill Chamber at the back of the hall. Silence returned to the main hall for the time being.

Only Biyao's faint but steady breathing, Lu Xueqi's subtle spiritual energy fluctuations as she regulated her breathing, and the faint airflow brought about by Su Han slowly channeling his true essence into her body.

Shi Yue and several disciples of Zhenyue Pagoda quietly retreated outside the hall to guard the area, not daring to disturb them.

Su Han sat down again, took Bi Yao's hand, and continued to channel his true essence into her.

His gaze remained fixed on Biyao's face, observing her pale complexion and the faint shadows cast by her long eyelashes beneath her eyelids.

After a moment of rest, Lu Xueqi's pale face regained a touch of color.

She opened her eyes, walked to the jade bedside, looked at the unconscious Biyao, and remained silent for a long time.

"She will wake up," Lu Xueqi said softly, as if she were talking to Su Han, but also as if she were talking to herself.

Su Han nodded, her voice hoarse: "Thank you."

He knew that if it weren't for Lu Xueqi's precise control of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the expulsion of the vengeful spirits would not have been so smooth, and Biyao would have had to endure much more pain and risk.

Lu Xueqi shook her head, her gaze falling on Biyao's face, a subtle and complex emotion flashing in her clear, cold eyes.

"She saved me."

“I… owe her my life.”

Su Han didn't reply, but simply tightened his grip on Bi Yao's hand.

Time continued to flow as we waited.

Every minute, every second, tugged at the heartstrings of the two people inside the hall.

From the direction of the Earth Fire Pill Refining Chamber, faint traces of surging earth fire and fluctuating magical power could be heard, indicating that the pill refining process was in full swing.

After an unknown amount of time, it had become dark.

The moonstones embedded in the hall emitted a soft glow.

Biyao's breathing seemed to become more steady and powerful. Nourished by the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and warmed by Su Han's true essence, her face was no longer so pale and regained a faint trace of color.

Suddenly, her fingers twitched very slightly in Su Han's palm.

Su Han's body jolted violently, almost unable to believe his own feelings.

He held his breath and stared intently at Biyao's face.

Her long eyelashes fluttered gently a few times, like butterfly wings.

Then, those eyes, which had been tightly closed for a long time and seemed to have been asleep for a thousand years, slowly and laboriously opened a crack.

His eyes held the confusion and weakness of someone just waking up, along with a trace of lingering pain.

His vision blurred and then focused, finally settling on Su Han's bloodshot face, which was filled with anxiety and ecstasy.

Her lips moved very slightly.

Su Han quickly bent down and put her ear close.

Her voice, though faint, was incredibly clear, carrying her unique, tenacious spirit, as it reached Su Han's ears.

"Su...brother...I...think...I slept...for a long time..."

"It hurts..." (End of Chapter)
