Chapter 840 The Last Guardian

Upon receiving the news, Cao Yi rushed to the outside of the main tent. Seeing Ran Xi emerge, he immediately stepped forward to support her as she became unsteady.

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
"It's alright, take me back, I need to heal my wounds."

"Yes."

Cao Yi immediately took Yun Xi back to the Lingyu cultivators' encampment. After watching her enter the tent and setting up a protective barrier, he did not leave but instead sat cross-legged outside the tent to protect Yun Xi.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Lian hurried to Yun Xi's tent and asked Cao Yi:
"How is Your Majesty Ranxi?"

Cao Yi frowned and said:

"His Excellency seems to have been injured and greatly weakened. His breathing is somewhat unstable. I just brought him back."

Upon hearing this, Han Lian's heart leaped into her throat, and she said:
"Is the mission to retrieve the immortal bones not going smoothly?"

Even when she was at the camp, she saw Master Ruohuai perform the "Dharma of Heaven and Earth". At that moment, her heart tightened and she had a bad feeling.

Cao Yi shook his head again and said:

"I don't know. His Majesty didn't mention any mission. He only asked me to bring her back to heal her wounds."

Han Lian herself was also injured, but if she went back now, she wouldn't be able to focus on healing. So she simply sat cross-legged beside Cao Yi and said:

"I will join you in protecting His Majesty."

The two then sat in silent meditation, waiting for Yunxi to emerge from seclusion.

On the other side, Ruohuai, without these burdens, fled quickly, but was still blocked by the pursuing Evil Lord.

The evil lord, dressed in black robes, looked at Ruohuai with a cold expression and said:
"You old bald monk, how dare you cause trouble on my turf!"

Master Ruohuai looked at the menacing Evil Lord, his face calm, and clasped his hands together, saying:

"Amitabha! When did the burial site become your territory? You desecrated the immortal bones and even tried to infiltrate the spirit realm by fusing the immortal bones, but you ended up suffering the consequences and dying without a burial place. I was just retrieving the remains of the fallen immortals. How can you say that I am running wild?"

Upon hearing this, the Evil Lord's eyes flashed. It seemed that their plan had been exposed. However, since they had caught Ruo Huai, whose aura was unstable, he would not let go of this good opportunity to take him down. So, in the next instant, he transformed into black mist and rushed towards Ruo Huai.

"Amitabha!"

Ruo Huai stood still, calmly chanting a Buddhist prayer. A golden-purple light emanated from his body, blocking the approaching evil lord.

"Woo!"

The Evil Lord groaned, seemingly burned by the golden light, and after transforming back into human form, he glared at Ruohuai with a ferocious expression.

A phantom image of Buddha slowly appeared behind Ruohuai. The figure had a compassionate face and waved his monk's robe at the angry evil lord, sending him away.

Ruo Huai immediately turned around, put his hands together, and said:

"Amitabha! Thank you for your help, senior!"

"This is all the help I can give you."

After saying this, he sighed and slowly disappeared into the air.

At the same time, Hua Yi appeared beside Ruo Huai, only to see a corner of the monk's robe disappear.

"Fellow Daoist Ruohuai, are you alright? I tracked down the Evil Lord here, and he attacked you when you weren't looking?"

Master Ruohuai turned around and said:
"Amitabha! This humble monk is unharmed. Just now, the Evil Lord did try to attack me, but I managed to evade him with a wisp of the remnant soul of a powerful Buddhist cultivator that I brought back from the burial site. I originally intended to take the senior's remnant soul back to Prajna Temple to nurture it, but in the end, the senior's soul completely dissipated."

Seeing that Ruohuai was unharmed, Hua Yi's expression softened considerably, but he still said, "Ruohuai, I'll take you back to your post first."

Master Ruohuai shook his head and said:
"No need. You need to stay at the front. Now that the Evil Lord is no longer blocking my way, I can return smoothly."

Hua Yi can temporarily leave the battlefield, but if it goes on for too long, there is a risk that the Evil Lord might use underhanded tactics against the cultivators of the Spirit Realm. Evil cultivators are known for their ruthlessness, and they suffered losses when they first clashed. Therefore, each region has sent a Mahayana True Venerable to oversee the ancient battlefield in order to prevent such incidents from happening.

After confirming that Ruo Huai was unharmed, Hua Yi returned to the battlefield to oversee the situation, while the Evil Lord, who had been sent back to the Ruins of Nothingness, was roaring in utter helplessness:

"These righteous cultivators have been dead for tens of thousands of years, what are they doing jumping out again? They deserve to be suppressed by the evil god!!!"

An aged voice boomed in the evil lord's ear:

"Hmph! Stop your powerless rage here. Go back and take charge of the battlefield. If we don't conquer the Spirit Realm, we'll be stuck in the Boundless Ruins forever. When will we ever be able to revive the Evil God!"

After venting his anger, the Evil Lord had calmed down. After being warned, he could only suppress his rage and leave the Void of Nothingness. The evil cultivators, who had been hiding in the darkness, fell silent again, with only the sound of the earth flames and magma slowly flowing echoing in the space.

After returning to her tent, Yunxi released a powerful energy shield and then flashed into the space.

Lili, leading Dian Dian and Cong Shan, went to meet them, saying with a worried expression:

"Your Excellency, are you seriously injured this time?"

Yunxi patted Lili's head and then pinched Dian Dian before saying:

"I'm going into seclusion for a while. Just keep an eye on this space."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Li Li was worried about Yun Xi's health, he knew he couldn't help much, so he could only nod in agreement and watch Yun Xi enter the cultivation room before letting out a long sigh.

Dian Dian scratched her ear anxiously, jumped onto Li Li's head, and asked:

"Lili, is Master badly injured? Why are you sighing?"

A golden light flashed in Li Li's amber eyes, and he said somewhat uncertainly:
"Your Majesty must have used a forbidden technique. She was locked onto by the Heavenly Secrets. It is only because this is an ancient battlefield, an independent space, that the Heavenly Punishment has not yet descended."

When Yunxi appeared in the space just now, Lili noticed that there was an unusual energy fluctuation around the Venerable One, but he did not ask.

Dian Dian jumped up immediately. He still remembered the trip to the underworld. Even after returning to the Weiyu Realm, his master could only stay in the Haoran Sect until he dragged the entire realm to ascension and gained merit before he could completely refine that wisp of "soul lightning". He didn't know what forbidden technique his master had used this time, so he could only anxiously spin around in place.

Lili pinned Dian Dian down with one paw and said:

"Stop spinning, it's making my eyes dizzy. His Majesty is fine now, we still have time to think of a solution. Don't disturb His Majesty's healing. Let's go to the library in the space and see if we can find a way to help His Majesty."

Dian Dian struggled for a moment, but couldn't escape Li Li's grasp, so she could only give up and say:
"Let go of me, and I'll go with you."

Congshan, standing to the side, was much calmer. He said nothing and followed Lili to the library.

Yunxi was already lying in the advanced treatment chamber, with the Immortal Spirit Grass pressed against her chest, slowly channeling spiritual energy into her body. The healing potion had begun to repair the injuries in her meridians.

Yunxi fell into a deep sleep and began to have a long dream in which she transformed into different people and experienced the ancient war from different perspectives.

"Why is this happening?"

"A great war has broken out in the realm of gods, and we have been affected!"

Why are they fighting?

"The evil god, dissatisfied with the actions of the gods, instigated a great war."
