Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 268 Go

"Shanren, what's the situation in Qingshui Mountain? What's the situation over there with Grandpa Yun and the others?" Yun Zhonghe asked again.

"Grandpa, that Madir secretly set up a Nine Nether Thousand Evil Blood Formation on Qingshui Mountain. That formation is very powerful, a hybrid version of three evil formations. There is a spiritual vein on Qingshui Mountain that is very important to our country. He wanted to cut it off and absorb the energy inside. But he failed and has now been captured alive by our people. However, the energy fluctuations generated by the battle still affected the surroundings. Grandpa Zhuyun and the others should have set up a formation there to suppress the evil spirits that were roaming around. I'm afraid they won't be back so soon."

There are only three Xuanmen people that the Yun family fully trusts: Zhuyun, Shanren's master, and Shanren himself. But the first two are just in Qingshui Mountain. Yun Jixing is not at all confident that someone else can perform a ritual to save Yu Ru. It's not because the other party's skills may not be up to par, but because he is afraid that the other person will have evil thoughts about Yu Ru's fate and covet her like Madir. Letting Shanren perform the ritual is also not reassuring. This incident is more dangerous, and Shanren's skills may not be enough.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhu Yun still hadn't come back, and Yu Ru's body was getting colder and colder. If she continued to go, it might be bad for her. Yun Jixing decided to let Shan Ren try first, otherwise waiting any longer might be a dead end.

Yun Jixing and the believers worked together to carry a beauty couch to the side of Yu Ru's bed and put it next to the bed. After placing the beauty couch, Yun Jixing took off his shoes and socks and prepared to lie on it.

Shanren caught him in time and said, "Brother Yuan, don't be anxious. Why don't you wait until your uncle and aunt come? They should be quick."

"Yes, Shanyuan, wait until your parents come before starting. If something unexpected really happens, they won't even be able to see you for the last time. That would be such a pity." Situ Ningzhai advised.

Yun Jixing turned his head and glanced at Yu Ru beside him, hesitated for a moment, and nodded. At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside. He heard the sound before he saw the person.

"Stars! Stars!" It was the voice of Sang Zhuxian.

Sang Zhuxian and Yun Bianzhi rushed over. After entering the house, they looked around in panic. Seeing that there was no one around and all the figures were gathered behind a screen, they strode in.

Behind the screen, they successfully saw Yun Jixing. "Dad, Mom." The two of them simply greeted Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe, and hurried to hold Yun Jixing's hand.

"Hello, uncle. Hello, aunt." The children from Yunwen's house greeted them immediately when they saw them.

"Hey, okay, okay." Sang Zhuxian and Yun Bianzhi responded hastily, and then looked at Yun Jixing. Sang Zhuxian looked him up and down, and asked nervously, "Xingxing, how are you? Did Aren perform a ritual for you? Was it successful?"

"Aunt, we haven't started yet. We'll start when you and uncle get here." Shanren replied.

"Mom, it's okay, it will work, don't worry you and dad." Yun Jixing hugged Sang Zhuxian, "We can't delay any longer, Aru's body temperature is now lower than that of a normal person."

"Okay... then you must come back."

"Yeah." Yun Jixing let go of Sang Zhuxian and hugged Yun Bianzhi again. Yun Bianzhi didn't say much, just hugged him tightly.

……

After falling into a coma, Yu Ru completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, she slowly woke up, and the coldness beneath her made her tremble all over. She turned her head and saw that she was lying in a cave-like place, with huge rocks beneath her. She supported herself on the ground with one hand, and then she sat up and looked around.

The cave was filled with a bright blue light, and the mist was hazy, condensing into clusters and sinking in the air, like clouds falling into the world. Looking forward, I saw a winding stone road extending into the darkness in the distance, with tall rocks standing on both sides, and white water gushing out from the gaps between the rocks, as white as melting snowflakes.

Yu Ru looked at everything in front of her in confusion, not knowing why she was here. She also felt confused about who she was. The strange and dim environment made her feel scared.

"Yu Ru, Yu Ru." Suddenly, a soft voice came from somewhere. It was a woman's voice.

When Yu Ru heard the voice, she immediately stood up and stepped aside. She leaned against a stone wall, her eyes alertly observing everything around her.

"Yu Ru, don't be afraid, it's me."

The voice appeared again, this time it was clearer. Yu Ru could tell that the voice was probably coming from the northeast. She stared at everything in that direction, not daring to let down her guard. The next moment, a red fox appeared in front of her. The fox was not small, about the size of half a car. It didn't look like a physical entity, but translucent, with a circle of red light all over its body. The most amazing thing was that it had eight tails.

Yu Ru looked at it and didn't dare to act rashly. She had never seen such a big fox before. Of course, she didn't remember anything now and was very confused. She didn't know if she had seen a fox before. It was really weird.

"Yu Ru, come with me, I will take you out of this cave." The voice appeared again, and as it appeared, the fox's mouth opened and closed, as if the voice came from it.

"Are you talking, Fox?" Yu Ru asked.

The fox nodded. "Don't be afraid. I held you in my arms when you were little. The place you are in now is an illusion to your original self. You don't belong here and you must leave as soon as possible. I don't belong here either. I am just a part of you created by my magic power. I sensed that you were in a different kind of danger, so I came here."

"Then it must be very dangerous here. Why did you come to save me? Are you a monster or a fox fairy?" Yu Ru's face was tense, still on guard against everything.

"I am a demon." The fox responded to her words and took a few steps forward to get closer to her. "I came to help you because you have been worshipping me devoutly in your original world and have given me a lot of power. You are my only believer. I will help you for this reason alone. Child, don't waste any more time. Come with me. Ride on my back and I will take you out."

Yu Ru turned her head to look at the surrounding environment. This kind of place made her feel a little short of oxygen. If she didn't follow the fox, she would either be scared to death or die of shortness of oxygen if she stayed here. She would die anyway, so it would be better to die at the hands of the fox. Dying alone would be too miserable.

She accepted the fox's invitation. Unexpectedly, the fox looked like an imaginary being, but she could sit on it. The touch was quite good, like sitting on a soft cushion, and it was very warm.
