Xuanhe stared at him without blinking for a long time, then staggered a few steps as if he had lost all his strength, and the expression on his face gradually became stiff.

"You knew it a long time ago, right?" he asked in a hoarse voice.

Venerable Yuhua paused slightly, his eyes and eyebrows full of calmness and composure, like a clear spring flowing, and his voice was gentle.

"No, I just realized now that the Heavenly Compass only provides guidance under certain circumstances."

Xuanhe closed his eyes tightly, and the hands hanging by his sides were so tense that the knuckles turned white. In an instant, he lost his usual calmness and composure.

Why is the last piece of ancient fragment on Jiang Yuxia?

Why?

Xuanhe really didn't understand. It was bad enough that Li Nian was tortured like this, but now even Jiang Yuxia was trapped in the swamp. What a damn fate.

"Is there any way to remove the ancient fragment from that Yuxia child?"

Yuhua seemed to sigh, her eyes fell on the smiling girl in the hall, with a compassionate expression.

Especially after noticing the fragments on Jiang Yuxia's body.

"The ancient fragment has been in her body for more than ten years. It has become one with her body and cannot be removed."

"More than ten years?!"

"I adopted them when they were eight years old. If the fragment was really inside Yuxia, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed it."

Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, then retorted

Upon hearing this, Venerable Yuhua was also slightly surprised. "If the ancient fragment recognized her as its master and was buried deep within her body, it's normal that you didn't see it."

Xuanhe pursed his lips into a straight line, his expression almost collapsed, and he could not accept such a result at all.

"What will happen if it is taken out forcibly?"

At this moment, his mind was blank, and even he himself didn't know what he was asking or what he was hoping for.

"If someone else died, their life force would be extinguished. But this child is very strange. The fragments recognized her as their master and became the endless source of life force within her body."

"Once the fragments leave the body, the life force will be destroyed. This child will surely die."

Venerable Yuhua looked at Jiang Yuxia carefully, and then said these words.

Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, took a short and spasmodic breath, and stood there as if rooted.

If you want to save Li Nian, you need the five ancient fragments.

But the last piece is in Jiang Yuxia's body, and all roads are blocked now.

"Hahaha, that's ridiculous."

Xuanhe smiled easily, but only he knew that his heart felt as if it was split in half by a sharp blade from top to bottom, and it hurt terribly.

He searched hard for a way to have the best of both worlds, but in the end this was what happened.

More than ten years of hard work and adversity have all become a joke at this moment.

Venerable Yuhua lowered his eyes slightly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

But that's the truth, absurd and hopeless.

The noise here was too loud. Jiang Yuxia in the hall turned her head to look over. When she saw Xuanhe, her eyes instantly lit up and became crystal clear.

"I'll go out first."

Jiang Yuxia hurriedly explained to Rong Jinhua and walked out of the hall, after she was out of their sight.

She immediately rushed into Xuanhe's arms like a little cannonball, "Old man, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

"Why have you been gone for so long? Niannian and I haven't seen you for a long time..."

Before Xuanhe could speak, Jiang Yuxia talked a lot to herself, but she didn't get a response for a long time. She looked up in confusion.

"Old man, why are you ignoring me?"

Tremendous pain surged in his chest, his eyes were red, and he couldn't speak.

"Old man?!"

Jiang Yuxia was shocked when she saw Xuanhe's appearance and hurriedly asked what happened.

Venerable Yuhua on the side wanted to help him out, but when he was about to speak, Xuanhe suddenly glanced at him with a warning in his eyes.

He suppressed his heartache and touched Jiang Yuxia's head. "It's nothing. I just lost my mind. Weren't you accompanying your mother? Why did you run out?"

Jiang Yuxia gave him a strange look, half-believing and half-doubting, "I saw you, but you haven't answered me yet. Why are you here?"

"Why, can't I come and see you?" Xuanhe pretended to be angry and said

"Of course, but why are there other people here?"

As Jiang Yuxia spoke, he looked towards Venerable Yuhua on the other side.

Xuanhe was silent for a moment, then said, "This is Venerable Yuhua. I was traveling with him, and he just happened to come here."

Jiang Yuxia blinked and bowed to Venerable Yuhua, "Yuxia greets Venerable Yuhua."

Venerable Yuhua nodded slightly, his gentle gaze fell on her face, and he sighed deeply in his heart.

"No need to be polite."

Jiang Yuxia thought of something and turned to Xuanhe and said

"Old man, you don't know what those people did to Nian Nian. Not only did they cause her father to lose his life, but now they are forcing her to offer sacrifices to the lanterns."

Xuanhe frowned and wanted to say something, but he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest and he couldn't speak.

Of course he knew this, even better than anyone else. It was precisely because he knew this that he was searching so desperately for the ancient fragments.

"Well, I know." He said with difficulty

Jiang Yuxia's eyes flashed with anger. "They are simply going too far. Niannian is also a human being. Why should Niannian sacrifice herself to save others?"

"Old man, you have to protect Nian Nian well. There are many people who want to kill her now."

Xuanhe's hands hidden under his sleeves were shaking violently, and he randomly touched Jiang Yuxia's hair.

"Okay, I understand. You should go back quickly. It's so hard to be together with your parents."

Jiang Yuxia didn't notice anything wrong. After she finished what she wanted to say, she went back obediently.

After she left, Xuanhe felt dizzy and his eyes were sore. He covered his face with his hands and remained silent.

"Xuanhe, there's no time."

Venerable Yuhua raised his eyes, looked towards the distant sky, and said in a deep voice, "At most, there is still a month left before the Hunyuan Heluo Realm can no longer hold on."

Every word hit Xuanhe like a sharp blade, cutting his heart and every part of his body, causing him so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

Finally, he reached a dead end again.

In fact, the time estimated by Venerable Yuhua was much more conservative, and the world of cultivation was far less optimistic than he said.

Among the four major countries in the world, the dragon energy of Longyuan Kingdom and Qingluan Kingdom has been exhausted. Even with the protection of the next monarch, the situation is still not optimistic.

Fortunately, the situation in Shanglingzhou is stable, and the eight major families are united as one, barely holding up the world.

Can protect one, two, three...

It was unable to protect the millions of people in the world, who were displaced and suffered countless casualties.

There is no grass growing on the earth, no life anymore, and it is a desolate place.

At this moment, Yunzhong City, the main battlefield of the cultivation world, was in chaos and could not be salvaged.

After receiving the news that Qi An was captured and taken back to the demon clan, Wangyou, who was usually gentle, became cold and manic.

Regardless of everyone's obstruction and the sect leader's orders, he avoided everyone and went to the demon clan alone.
