The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

As time went by, the spiritual materials in the furnace gradually melted under the scorching fire and the catalysis of spiritual power, emitting an increasingly strong medicinal fragrance. Everyone looked at the furnace nervously and expectantly, looking forward to the final success.

Suddenly, a blinding light shot out from the alchemy furnace, illuminating the entire alchemy room. Song Hanyi and Ling Xiao, who were transmitting spiritual power, felt that their mission had been completed, so they withdrew their hands together. However, due to the long-term spiritual power output and physical exhaustion, both of them felt weak and eventually fainted due to exhaustion.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan and Mu Jingxuan immediately stepped forward to support Song Hanyi and Ling Xiao and took them down to rest. The two needed to recover their strength, after all, the road ahead was still long.

At this time, Xuan Yi was the only one left in the alchemy room. He concentrated on controlling the fire and continued to refine the elixir. He knew that this was the most critical moment and he could not relax at all.

After several days of unremitting efforts, the Soul-Restoring Pill was finally successfully refined. The pill was crystal clear, emitting a faint light, as if it contained endless vitality. Everyone looked at it, their hearts filled with expectations and hope.

The one-month deadline has arrived, and everyone has gathered outside the Demon King's cave. The atmosphere is tense and solemn. Except for Ling Xiao, who has not yet woken up, the rest of the people have arrived. Everyone's face is full of determination and firmness, as if foreshadowing the upcoming decisive battle.

Yun Li stood in front of everyone, his eyes were as bright as torches, firm and deep. He stared at the thick fog in front of him, as if he could penetrate all obstacles and see the truth deep in the cave.

Soon, Yan Xiao led Lu Qingxi out of the cave slowly. Seeing this scene, Yun Li's heart tightened, and he immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Yan Xiao, release Lu Qingxi immediately!"

When Yan Xiao heard Yun Li's words, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at Lu Qingxi in his hand, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, and then he responded coldly: "You want me to let him go? Hand over the Holy Spirit Pearl first!"

Yun Li frowned upon hearing this. He knew Yan Xiao's cunning and cruelty, and knew that he couldn't easily compromise at this moment. However, looking at Lu Qingxi's confused and flustered eyes, his heart couldn't help but surge with a wave of emotions.

At this moment, Song Hanyi stood beside Yun Li. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yan Xiao, we can hand over the Holy Spirit Pearl. But you must promise to release... release Junior Sister."

Hearing this, Yan Xiao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, nodded, and said, "As long as you hand over the Holy Spirit Pearl, I will naturally let her go."

Yun Li glanced at the sky, the midday sun was shining brightly, he nodded slightly, and cast a firm look at Song Hanyi. Song Hanyi understood, he took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the courage and strength into his body. He closed his eyes and clenched his hands, as if he was gathering the final determination.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with determination and resolve. He slowly stretched out his hand, palm up, and saw a dazzling holy bead slowly emerging from his body, flashing a dazzling light.

As the holy bead appeared, Song Hanyi's body began to tremble violently. He felt a powerful force being drawn out of his body, as if it was sucking his soul away. His face was as pale as paper, and sweat dripped from his forehead like raindrops, but he gritted his teeth and held on without falling down.

Seeing this, Yan Xiao's eyes flashed with greed and ecstasy. He couldn't wait to stretch out his hand, wanting to take the holy bead for himself. However, his hand seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, unable to touch the holy bead at all.

It turned out that although Song Hanyi was willing to hand over the Holy Pearl, the Heavenly Dao did not seem to allow him to let it go easily. There seemed to be some mysterious connection between the Holy Pearl and him, which made it difficult for him to give it up easily.

Song Hanyi took a deep breath and pushed the Holy Spirit Pearl towards Yan Xiao with all his strength. At this moment, his body seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, and the pain was indescribable. But he gritted his teeth and did not make any sound, just silently enduring it all.

Finally, with Song Hanyi's persistence and efforts, the Holy Spirit Pearl finally left his body and fell into Yan Xiao's hands. Yan Xiao laughed triumphantly, as if he had seen the dawn of the rise of the demon world. Song Hanyi fell to the ground like a body without a soul, his face pale and frightening. Mu Jingxuan behind him hurried forward to help him up and put the Soul-Restoring Pill into Song Hanyi's mouth.

Seeing that Yan Xiao had the Holy Spirit Pearl tightly in his hand, Yun Li suppressed his reluctance and urged him hurriedly, "Yan Xiao, you have obtained the Holy Spirit Pearl, release Lu Qingxi immediately!" His words were filled with urgency and determination. He hoped that the other party would fulfill his promise as soon as possible and release the trapped Lu Qingxi.

However, Yan Xiao's expression changed. He frowned, and a hint of hesitation and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. This was the third time he had heard someone asking him to release someone today. For some reason, his anger and reluctance grew stronger and stronger, and he actually wanted to keep Lu Qingxi by his side forever.

Lu Qingxi also noticed Yan Xiao's abnormality at this moment. She was panicked. Fortunately, the restraints on her body had been removed by Yun Li. She struggled to run to Yun Li's side. Seeing this, Yan Xiao was anxious and wanted to intimidate her with his power. He snorted coldly, unconsciously revealing a trace of murderous intent, and at the same time flew out his own life sword, which was horizontal in front of Lu Qingxi.

At this moment, a sharp sword light suddenly flashed and blocked Yan Xiao's natal sword. It turned out that the Duan Nian on Lu Qingxi's waist sensed the murderous aura and immediately appeared to protect its master. Seeing the appearance of Duan Nian, Yan Xiao was stunned, and a trace of astonishment and joy flashed in his eyes.

Lu Qingxi's identity was self-evident at this moment, and Yan Xiao felt a strong desire in his heart, wanting to keep her even more. He wiped the sweat from his hands and tried to reach out to touch her, but was blocked by Yun Li.

A hint of coldness flashed in Yunli's eyes, and he took the opportunity to attack, severely injuring Yanxiao. Yanxiao was caught off guard and fell to the ground after being hit. He stared at Yunli with wide eyes, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

Yun Li did not give him any chance, and he led everyone out of the cave quickly. Before leaving, he looked back at Yan Xiao who was lying on the ground and the Holy Spirit Pearl in his hand, with a hint of determination and coldness in his eyes. He knew that although they had won the battle today, there was still a long way to go in the future, and they had to stay vigilant at all times to cope with the next challenge.
