Slender willows sway in the breeze

Chapter 260 Together with You

Xu Hechen's eyes turned crazed again, and he struggled violently, trying to break free from Liu Sijun's spiritual power restraints.

"No, we can't let him break free!"

Gu Changzhou shouted and brandished the Molin Sword, unleashing a sharp sword aura towards Xu Hechen in an attempt to stop him.

However, Xu Hechen's power became exceptionally strong under the blessing of the Demon God's Heart. He easily dodged Gu Changzhou's sword energy and struck Gu Changzhou with a backhand palm.

Gu Changzhou quickly dodged to the side, but Xu Hechen's palm grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep mark.

Upon seeing this, Li Qing immediately controlled the Fire Phoenix and pounced towards Xu Hechen.

The Fire Phoenix's wings burned with Netherworld Purifying Flame, emitting a blazing light as it attempted to trap Xu Hechen once again.

Seeing the approaching fire phoenix, a ruthless glint flashed in Xu Hechen's eyes. He raised the demon god's heart high above his head and rapidly chanted an incantation.

Suddenly, a black energy wave shot from the Demon God's heart toward the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix was struck by the energy wave, letting out a mournful cry. Its body swayed in the air a few times and nearly fell to the ground.

Li Qing's heart tightened, and she quickly summoned back the Fire Phoenix, protecting it behind her: "Sister, brother-in-law, what should we do next?"

Liu Sijun gritted her teeth; she could feel her spiritual energy being rapidly depleted.

He also wanted to break free from the control of the Demon God's heart, but his power was too weak. If they also gave up, their master would be completely beyond saving.

How could she bear to do that?

She took a deep breath, her gaze hardening once more: "We cannot back down, we must find a way to free Master from the control of the Demon God's heart!"

Just then, Liu Sijun suddenly thought of a solution.

She concentrated her mind, merging the power of the Taixu Spirit Crystal with her own spiritual power, and then separated a portion of her spiritual power to inject into Xu Hechen's body.

This spiritual energy carries warmth and possesses healing power; it should be able to repair Xu Hechen's meridians that have been eroded by evil forces.

Xu Hechen's body trembled slightly as he felt a warm power flowing through his body.

The pain in my heart lessened somewhat as a result.

A glimmer of clarity flashed in his eyes once more.

Li Qing's face lit up with joy: "Sister, it worked!"

Liu Sijun nodded, ignoring the throbbing pain in her meridians, and continued to inject spiritual energy into Xu Hechen's body.

The mist around Xu Hechen gradually dissipated, and he looked at Liu Sijun with a mixture of gratitude and guilt in his eyes.

"It's all because Master's Dao heart was unstable that he was bewitched by the Demon God's heart."

They did so many unforgivable things.

"Master, now is not the time for guilt and self-blame. Stabilize your resolve and persevere!"

Liu Sijun shouted loudly, increasing the injection of spiritual power. Seeing Liu Sijun's actions, Gu Changzhou and Li Qing also joined in.

Gu Changzhou infused the power of the stars into Xu Hechen's body, while Li Qing used the power of the Netherworld Purifying Fire to purify Xu Hechen's meridians.

With the combined efforts of the three, the evil power within Xu Hechen was gradually dispelled.

Once he regained some clarity, he also took the initiative to fight against the demon's heart.

Finally, he released his grip on the demon god's heart and slowly collapsed to the ground.

The group breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also very tired.

He was powerless to stop the Demon God's Heart from disappearing before his eyes after it left Xu Hechen.

"First, settle Master down, and then figure out how to deal with the Demon God's heart."

"Sister, how about we send Master back to Yougu Palace first?" "No."

Liu Sijun shook his head: "Master is controlled by the heart of the demon god. Other sects want to get rid of him as soon as possible. They have sent people to keep an eye on Yougu Palace. Once they discover Master's whereabouts, they will definitely demand an explanation from the sects."

He did indeed do many wrong things when he was incoherent, and he will have to bear the consequences once he recovers.

Liu Sijun and the others settled Xu Hechen in a relatively safe place so that he could rest and recover.

Although Xu Hechen had broken free from the control of the Demon God's heart, his body and mind had suffered great trauma. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak.

Gu Changzhou looked at Xu Hechen and sighed slightly, but his vigilance did not relax.

He knew that the escape of the Demon God's heart would inevitably bring an even greater crisis.

"Jun'er, the Demon God's heart has suddenly disappeared, and we don't know where it went. It's really worrying."

Liu Sijun nodded slightly, her delicate brows furrowing, a hint of worry in her eyes: "The Demon God's Heart possesses powerful evil energy. If it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. We must find its whereabouts as soon as possible."

Li Qing bit her lip, her eyes filled with self-blame: "It's all my fault. I couldn't stop the Demon God's heart from escaping."

Liu Sijun walked over, gently patted Li Qing's shoulder, and comforted her, "Qing'er, this isn't your fault. We did everything we could back then. The most important thing now is to find it."

Just then, Liu Sijun suddenly remembered the Eye of the Void that he possessed when he merged with the remnant soul of the Creator God.

Perhaps we can find traces of the demon god through these special eyes.

However, she was too exhausted at the moment, and activating it required powerful spiritual energy as support.

"The matter is urgent, but our health is equally important. Let's rest for a few days and recover our spiritual power before searching for it. That way, even if there are any unexpected changes, we can cope with them."

Each of them took a pill to regulate their breathing.

Three days later, Xu Hechen opened his eyes, and his condition had improved significantly.

Li Qing: "Master, you're finally awake."

Xu Hechen opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Liu Sijun said, "Master, I know you feel guilty right now, but since it has happened, we have to face it."

“You’re right. What has already happened cannot be changed. What I need to do now is to atone for my sins. Even if it means my death, I will have no regrets.”

After regaining his spiritual power, Liu Sijun activated the Eye of the Void.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the limitations of space, searching every corner.

Finally, she saw the figure of the Demon God's heart in a black mist.

"found it!"

Liu Sijun stood up. "Fortunately, the Demon God's Heart did not fall into the hands of the Tianxu Palace people. Let's set off quickly, get the Demon God's Heart, and seal it away so that it can no longer wreak havoc on the world."

"Wait!"

Just as they were about to set off, Xu Hechen suddenly stopped them.

"Master, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go with you."

Liu Sijun disagreed: "You yourself are an alchemist, you should know how weak your body is right now."

It looks better than the previous three days.

But that's only on the surface.

Having been controlled by the demon's heart for so long, his body had long been riddled with wounds, and it was impossible for him to recover in just three days.

Xu Hechen said, "During the time I was controlled by the Demon God's Heart, I was indirectly living with it day and night. I understand the Demon God's Heart better than you do. Maybe I can be of help."
