Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 68 What is Living and Dying Together?
On the Lingxiao stage, Lingyun put away his sword and stood, gazing at the pair of lovers whose bodies had been dyed red by blood.

She suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance, not knowing what to do. The woman was clearly a member of the Demon Sect, yet the man, the heir of Nangong Feitian, risked his life to save her.

Why did I have to encounter such a horrible thing after only coming out of seclusion once every few hundred years?!

Lingyun looked at the Fangyuan Sword with a complicated expression, and saw that the light column was already covered with dense cracks. Thinking that there was no time to waste, she turned around and walked into the light column with the sword in hand.

He actually used his cultivation level of the Ascension Realm to forcibly repair the Sky Pillar so that it could maintain its shape and not be completely destroyed.

However, this is equivalent to tying one's own avenue to the Heavenly Pillar. In other words, Lingyun will gradually lose its "self" and "avenue" and will eventually be assimilated by the Heavenly Pillar.

As the 28th leader of the Fuyao Sect, she did not hesitate and decisively chose this unprecedented path at the critical moment of the sect's life and death.

As for whether Nangong Feitian's successor was dead or alive... he was most likely dead, and she had no time to care.

A mere ant dares to look directly into the sky. Since he chooses to be a hero for a moment, he must bear the corresponding price.

Unknowingly, Yun Yi once again found himself at the critical moment of life and death. He felt his body was light and without pain, as if he had reached a mysterious and wonderful realm.

Here, the memories of his two lives became extremely clear, such as when he finally fell off the cliff in his previous life, and the look Song Xinci gave him before he died.

Panic, astonishment, and a hint of imperceptible grief.

Yun Yi thought that with his death, Song Xinci in her previous life would likely have died from the Tongxin Gu. Although she had already reached the Hedao realm by then, she had searched for years without finding a way to remove the Gu.

The relationship between the two is like a bird tying a grasshopper, one flies high and the other flutters, but they are not from the same world after all.

And what about this life?

The gap in realm still existed, but the relationship between the two became more subtle. It turned out that I was wrong in my previous life. I always thought that only by walking side by side could we be equal, but I forgot that the most important thing was to have a mutual understanding.

Yun Yi never felt that he owed anything. His impulsive behavior just now was only because he didn't want to see Song Xinci die in vain.

Or, at least, she shouldn't have died because of me! What I've been striving for in this life is to sever my fate with her, so that we can live our own lives, each free and unrestrained.

But if everything becomes a dead end, no one will be able to get rid of the inner demons.

"Yun Yi... Yun Yi..." The cry in his ear finally made him sober for a moment, but his eyes were dyed red with blood, and he could only vaguely see the outline of the woman.

Her white dress seemed to have been dyed blood red, and at first glance she looked like she was wearing red makeup.

Are you going to get married again?

Yun Yi sighed, "Forget me."

His voice was extremely soft, but Song Xinci still heard the three words. Her expression suddenly became extremely sad, her brows knitted tightly, and her lips trembled. Even the "Supreme Forgetfulness" could not suppress the turbulent emotions at this moment.

Forgot you, you made me forget you?!

Even Song Xinci found it difficult to describe her current situation. Her originally perfect state of mind seemed to have suddenly opened a door... It was not a crack, but a door!
Her state of mind wasn't broken, it was just different. The word "forgetfulness" suddenly took on a more concrete meaning at that moment. It turned out a door had opened in her heart, leaving her with an unbearable emptiness. That was forgetfulness.

Su Qing suddenly rushed over. She knelt in front of Yun Yi and quickly poured the pill into his mouth. She also let the little red snake take a big bite at the base of Yun Yi's left hand.

However, this person's body seemed to have become a sieve, and the spiritual energy that was replenished dissipated and lost in an instant, leaving not a single bit.

Qingwei also arrived with two disciples. Qi Ling'er couldn't bear to see Yun Yi in this state, so she leaned on her senior brother's shoulder and burst into tears. Xun Ziyu's face was ashen, and he was still in shock at this moment. He hoped that the changes that had just happened were just a dream.

Perhaps the Chenghuang Trial wasn't over yet, and everything now was a test of his character. Elder Piaomiaozi and Senior Brother Meng Fan couldn't possibly betray their master, and Junior Brothers Yun Yi and Shi Yucheng should be safe.

Qingwei had been practicing for many years, and although his level of cultivation was not as high as Song Xinci's, he had more experience and knowledge than her. He had already seen that Yun Yi was in a difficult situation, and even if the Ascension Realm had restrained its strength, even one ten-millionth of the force was not something Yun Yi could withstand.

But for the sake of his apprentice, he still wanted to tell another divination, so he took out the tortoise shell from his sleeve, shook it for a while, and then arranged several copper coins in the air.

Born and destroyed, dead and reborn, it begins with separation and ends with separation.

Auspicious hexagram?!
Qingwei threw away the tortoise shell and copper coins in anger, thinking that his predictions were wrong nine out of ten.

Su Qing was still trying to rescue him, but Yun Yi's breath was weak, like a candle in a storm, which could go out at any time.

Taoist Xuancheng suddenly placed his hand on his beloved disciple's shoulder and said, "Stop."

Su Qing's pretty face was tense. She had always been kind over the years, rarely showing this expression. She continued to rescue him regardless, gritting her teeth and saying, "I promised you I'd teach you the Dao of Alchemy, and you've only learned so much. Yun Yi, do you want to make me a person who goes back on my word?"

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop Yun Yi's eyes from gradually becoming unfocused.

Taoist Xuancheng comforted him, "You have tried your best."

Tears welled up in Su Qing's eyes as she suddenly abandoned everyone and ran off to a secluded spot. Taoist Xuancheng didn't follow, but sighed heavily. Even as the Grand Elder of the Dan Pavilion, the sect's most skilled healer, he was helpless against Yun Yi.

Suddenly, Song Xinci, with empty eyes, reacted.

She lightly waved her blood-stained sleeves, and suddenly a force forced all the people nearby to retreat. She used a barrier to cover herself and Yun Yi to prevent others from detecting them.

Song Xinci frowned and gently stroked Yun Yi's cheek, afraid of hurting him in the slightest.

At this moment, Yun Yi's body was on the verge of breaking, becoming like a sieve, as if it would disappear into smoke with a gust of wind.

Song Xinci murmured, "I don't owe you anything."

After saying this, she took out the bamboo tube containing the Tongxin Gu, opened the lid, and poured the well water and Tongxin Gu into Yun Yi's mouth. It was like a lively, transparent little fish, and after a series of twists and turns, it finally entered Yun Yi's body.

Song Xinci thought to herself, "If the Heart-to-Heart Gu works, I'll go through this calamity with you. If it doesn't, I'll die with you. But no matter what, Yun Yi, I don't owe you anything."

The next moment, two small insects, one black and one white, settled in the heart veins of the two men respectively.

Yun Yi's heart had stopped beating, but the black bug was vibrating along with the white bug. The two had the same frequency, and actually made Yun Yi's heart, which had fallen into silence, move again.

Song Xinci's Hedao realm cultivation was also continuously transferred into Yun Yi's body, wrapping his body that was on the verge of breaking, and gradually mending and reinforcing it.

This is the mystery of the Tongxin Gu. If the person who is poisoned by the Gu is physically united but spiritually divided, it can only live and die with him.

But if the two people who are poisoned know each other well, they can live and die together and their lives become connected.

This is not only a bond, but also a great opportunity!
