My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Xian Ge burst forth from the void and shoved Luo Han Ying: "Luo Han Ying! Stop Wenren Ya's time!"

As Bai Yan and Su Daiyu finished speaking, the silk documents in their hands burst forth with dazzling golden light.

The disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect and a cultivator from the Golden Cauldron Sect screamed in agony under the golden light. People's heads exploded one after another, blood splattering everywhere, the air filled with blood mist, and the nasal cavity was filled with the metallic smell.

The visually striking scene left almost everyone present stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening—an act that resembled mass suicide.

"What?! Time?!" Luo Hanying's mind went blank from the suddenness of Xiange's words.

The moment Wenren Ya saw the silk scroll, he drew his wooden bow and shot an arrow overhead: "I have always followed the rules of propriety and served at your side. I have always obeyed the will of the gods and have never been disloyal."

Now facing great calamity, I fear I may lose my life. The believer bows three times, praying for God's protection!

The arrow shot straight into the sky and then scattered like petals, landing on Wenren Ya's shoulders. Bathed in the light, her expression was distorted, just like those whose heads had exploded, with veins bulging on her forehead.

Fortunately, Luo Hanying had already realized what was going on. When the time was mentioned, she subconsciously thought of a common allusion in poetry, so she took out her brush and drew out her spiritual energy: "I only fear that the man who rotted the axe handle will arrive, I fear that time will not be the same as that of the world."

As she finished the last stroke, the brush that had been with Luo Hanying for many years broke in her hand, piercing her finger. Blood gushed from her fingertip and flew towards the characters, startling her into wide-eyed stare.

The words swirled rapidly counterclockwise around Wenren Ya, and like a carousel, images of celestial children playing chess and singing appeared. A man dressed as a woodcutter put down his axe and watched from the side. Wenren Ya was frozen in place by the words and images.

"Quickly, save Wenren Ya! You all need to think of something!"

Luo Hanying clutched her dantian, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Double images appeared before her eyes, her breathing became rapid, her ears rang, and a straight line of tinnitus filled her mind. She could no longer stand steadily.

Ruan Chayan quickly helped Luo Hanying up and looked at Cangya Zi urgently, saying, "Your Excellency! Please save Wenren Ya and Xiaoxue!"

The power to sever space and stop time is something only immortals can possess. Only cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm or above can touch this threshold, or cultivators with divine artifacts can also try it out.

Luo Hanying's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, so it was unprecedented for her to be able to do this. The spiritual power in her dantian was insufficient to support such a massive formation.

Fortunately, Cangya Zi did not intend to cause trouble for them at this time.

He was furious at being tricked by the Sword Inquiry Sect. Seeing that Wenren Ya could still be saved, he walked up to her and sent the Gu King he had carefully cultivated into her body.

Now, apart from Wenren Ya, all the cultivators on the field who were related to Canghai Realm and Taibai Pavilion are dead. The information Wenren Ya knows will be their only way to understand the enemy.

Ji Daoyun could see that Luo Hanying was struggling. Fearing that Luo Hanying would not be able to hold on, he summoned the Heavenly Rain and played a melody. The sound waves, carrying spiritual power, surged towards Luo Hanying, helping to fill her bottomless dantian.

Jin Caiyu and Ran Jie heard a familiar melody in Ji Daoyun's konghou music. The two walked to Luo Hanying's vicinity and gestured for everyone to make way. They hummed ancient phrases and danced to the accompaniment of Ji Daoyun's playing.

As the three of them worked together, the surrounding spiritual energy became richer, and Luo Hanying's pained expression eased somewhat.

Cangya Zi formed hand seals and chanted incantations to guide the Gu King to travel within Wenren Ya's body. Finally, he found the Gu worm hiding in her heart meridian. The Gu worm used Wenren Ya's body as a battlefield to fight, and Cangya Zi actually felt a little strained.

While playing, Ji Daoyun paid close attention to his surroundings. He could tell that Cangya Zi was struggling, and he could not switch to help Cangya Zi in order to cooperate with Jin Caiyu and Ran Jie to protect Luo Hanying's dantian.

A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Cangya Zi's forehead, and the smile on his lips was full of evil. He seemed excited as if he had finally found his opponent.

The blood vessels under Wenren Ya's skin bulged, and time seemed to stand still on her body, but it wasn't truly stagnant.

Jinhua Cat sensed Ruan Chayan's nervousness. It tilted its head and looked blankly at Luo Hanying, who was having difficulty breathing in Ruan Chayan's arms. It opened its mouth and exhaled a faint wisp of moonlight, which entered Luo Hanying's body as she breathed rapidly.

The Jinhua cat's fur had lost some of its luster, and the kitten lay trembling at Ruan Chayan's feet.

Luo Hanying felt that the dull pain in her chest and the stinging pain in her lower abdomen seemed to have eased a bit. She had felt nauseous, but that feeling was slowly fading away.

The situation was rapidly changing, and everyone watched the group intently, not daring to breathe.

In her dazed state, Luo Hanying heard the system announcement that the task was completed.

【"bite--

Congratulations to both hosts for completing the eighth stage of the main storyline!

According to system simulations, the seventh phase of the main storyline has been completed ahead of schedule!

The 2000 reward points have been credited to your account. However, given the long-standing debts of both hosts, the points have been automatically deducted, leaving a current debt of 5800 points.

Cangya Zi's fingertips touched Wenren Ya's major acupoints, and with the spiritual power of his fingertips, he cut her wrist, and the round, white Gu King crawled out along the blood.

Cangya Zi held his Gu King, laughing maniacally, "Nothing special! Nothing special!"

None of them can compare to even the slightest bit of my wicked intentions!

The Gu King he created was named Calamity Heart.

Ji Daoyun suddenly poured his spiritual power into Tian Jiangyu, which continued to play while floating in the air. He quickly walked to Luo Hanying's side, formed a hand seal, and touched her forehead: "You've worked hard, take a rest."

Luo Hanying's vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

The rain, as if suddenly losing its support, plummeted toward the ground, but was promptly recalled to the dantian by Ji Daoyun.

As Luo Hanying fell into a coma, the words and images surrounding Wenren Ya dissipated. She took a deep breath, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her face filled with lingering fear, her expression dazed.

Jin Caiyu and Ran Jie exhaled a breath of stale air and went to sit down and rest.

Under these circumstances, the Bone Carving Sect had already fled, the Golden Cauldron Sect was surrounded by the disciples of the White Feather Sect and could not leave, and the monks of the Sorrowful Inquiry Temple carefully examined the corpses of the Sword Inquiry Sect disciples, trying to find some clues.

Song Yingshi and Sun Wei quickly took Luo Hanying from Ruan Chayan's arms, examined her body, discussed medication, and helped her recover as soon as possible.
