Transforming into a stunningly beautiful fox spirit, leaving a scar on the heart of a prodigy.

A strong wind swept back.

The icy snow of the far north, mixed with the nauseating stench of blood, poured into the tent through the cracks in the array.

The heavy curtain of the logistics wounded soldiers' camp, made of high-level demon beast hide and weighing hundreds of pounds, was blown away by this tangible shockwave. The thick iron rings that held it in place broke, and the curtain spun and flew several feet away, smashing several medicine shelves in the corner.

The blast wave continued its relentless advance, heading straight for the inside of the tent.

Luo Qingxue stood in front of Su Chang'an without turning around, her right hand pointing forward with her sword.

Make a hand seal with one hand.

A small, icy blue spiritual energy barrier opened up in front of Su Chang'an, just enough to completely cover the gray cloak that was lying on the ground.

Rock fragments and ice shards, enveloped in the shockwave, crashed against the barrier, creating dense ripples layer upon layer.

The gale-force winds, powerful enough to tear low-level wandering souls to shreds, were forcefully cleaved apart by this barrier, splitting into two streams.

Su Chang'an huddled under the cloak, his semi-transparent body trembling, his eyelids drooping.

Before the gale subsided, the sect jade pendant at Luo Qingxue's waist emitted a sharp buzzing sound.

A crimson light burst forth from within the jade tablet, turning her white Taoist robe a deep red.

The highest level of mandatory conscription order.

From within the jade tablet came the hoarse roar of the Elder of the Enforcement Hall: "All inner disciples! Immediately proceed to the southeast corner, the 'B' shaped array eye! Defend the node to the death! Anyone who retreats even half a step will be killed without mercy!"

Luo Qingxue's eyes grew even colder. She gripped the hilt of her sword with her other hand and turned to look at Su Chang'an on the ground.

Time was of the essence, so she didn't waste any unnecessary words.

Luo Qingxue pointed her fingers together to form a sword, forcing out a bit of icy blue sword energy from her fingertips. She pressed down with her sword fingers and quickly slashed around the spot where Su Chang'an was lying.

The sword energy left a deep mark on the ground, connecting end to end to form a circular trapping array.

A pale blue light curtain rose along the engravings, completely locking Su Chang'an inside.

"Stay inside and don't move."

Luo Qingxue looked down at the grayish-white light and shadow, her tone icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

"This barrier is both to protect you from being shattered by the aftershocks and to prevent you from running around."

"The camp is now under complete martial law. If you dare to step out of this area, the patrol team of the Law Enforcement Hall will treat you as a spy and kill you on the spot."

After speaking, Luo Qingxue didn't linger. She turned around and strode out of the dilapidated tent door. Her white cloak fluttered in the wind and snow, instantly blending into the chaotic crowd and the dazzling light and shadow outside.

A brief silence returned to the tent.

Only the howling wind and snow raging outside the barrier could be heard.

Su Chang'an lay prone on the cold ground.

Those eyes, which had been unfocused due to extreme weakness, shed all pretense the moment Luo Qingxue's aura completely left their sensing range.

Extreme calmness and sharpness emerged from the depths of his dark eyes.

She slowly straightened up, and the gray cloak slipped off her semi-transparent shoulders.

Su Chang'an raised his hand and placed his semi-transparent fingers on the pale blue trapping array light screen.

Luo Qingxue's sword intent was cold, and her barrier was very strong, enough to trap an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, Su Chang'an did not use any force to forcibly break through.

She closed her eyes and probed the light screen with her consciousness along her fingertips.

She had already thoroughly understood the formation methods of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect back in the Guiyuan Hall.

Following the direction of the array patterns, his divine sense found the most crucial node of spiritual energy.

With a gentle flick.

A faint, crisp sound that only she could hear.

The pale blue light screen flickered, and a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through appeared on its surface. The foundation of the formation remained intact, and the warning mechanism was not triggered.

Su Chang'an stood up silently and stepped out of the barrier.

The moment she stepped out of the barrier, a series of chaotic footsteps and mournful wails came from outside the tent.

A large number of blood-stained sect disciples were forcibly dragged by their companions and poured into the wounded soldiers' camp.

The atmosphere inside the tent grew colder and colder.

Su Chang'an immediately retreated to the shadows in the corner, pulled down his hood, and concealed his presence.

"Quickly! Healing spell! Seal the wound!" A deacon, his face covered in blood, yelled at the physician inside the tent.

Several physicians quickly stepped forward, their hands glowing with a rich green spiritual light, and pressed them against the disciples' wounds.

The disciple who was being held down let out an even more agonizing scream, his body convulsing violently on the ground, his eyes rolling back.

Su Chang'an saw it clearly from the shadows.

The disciples' wounds were extremely horrific, with flesh torn open and bone exposed.

Even more terrifying, a layer of dark red mist clung to the edges of the wound.

That's the malevolent energy of Geng metal.

These dark red malevolent energies seemed to be living creatures, constantly wriggling at the wound.

The moment the high-level physician's healing aura touched the wound, it was completely devoured by the malevolent energy. Following the trajectory of the healing technique's spiritual power, the malevolent energy instead accelerated its corrosion into the disciple's meridians.

The flesh and blood emitted a faint hissing sound under the baleful aura, quickly turning black and dying.

"It's no use! The healing technique can't stop this evil energy!" A doctor withdrew his hand in horror. His fingertips were also stained with dark red. He was so frightened that he immediately swung his sword and cut off a piece of his own flesh.

A sense of despair spread through the wounded soldiers' camp.

Su Chang'an stood in the corner, his gaze fixed on the dark red malevolent energy dissipating in mid-air.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, but beneath that stench, Su Chang'an detected an incredibly familiar scent.

That was Bai Yin's obsession.

It is the obsession left on these wounds by that tiger who went berserk in the far western battlefield, after crossing millions of miles of void and smashing through the spatial barrier.

An uncontrollable tremor ran through the core of Su Chang'an's soul.

She could sense that there was nothing fancy about these malevolent energies; they contained only the most primal and violent destructive desires.

That was Bai Yin's madness as she searched for her in despair.

He risked his life just to be a little closer to her, and then a little closer still.

Su Chang'an's breathing became heavy.

The extremely powerful spiritual energy from the far north that had been forcibly pulled into her body was raging wildly at the edge of her soul, constantly stripping away her energy.

Her time is running out.

Looking at the Geng metal evil energy that had left the physicians of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect helpless, an extremely crazy idea flashed through Su Chang'an's mind.

She neither retreated nor continued to hide.

Su Chang'an stepped out of the shadows and walked towards the most seriously injured disciple who was closest to her.

The disciple had been tormented by the evil energy to the point of losing consciousness. A deep claw mark on his chest revealed the bone, and a large amount of dark red evil energy was churning at the wound.

The people around were in a state of chaos, and no one noticed the wandering spirit wearing a gray cloak.

Su Chang'an walked up to the disciple.

She slowly squatted down.

Beneath the grey cloak, her translucent body was extremely weak.

She stretched out her hands, without any defense, and directly exposed her shattered soul core.

Come.

She silently recited it in her heart.

An invisible suction force emanated from her soul.

The dark red Geng metal evil energy that was originally attached to the disciple's wounds was attracted by something fatal and stopped corroding the meridians.

The malevolent energy paused in the air for a moment, then transformed into strands of dark red thread, flowing into Su Chang'an's body through her translucent fingertips.

excruciating pain.

An excruciating pain that threatened to tear his soul apart instantly overwhelmed Su Chang'an's consciousness.

The killing energy of Geng metal is the most domineering killing power in the world. It has a natural and fatal restraint on the soul. Ordinary wandering souls will be instantly reduced to ashes if they come into contact with even a wisp of it.

But Su Chang'an did not struggle, nor did he cut off the suction.

She clenched her teeth, letting the dark red malevolent energy rush into the depths of her soul.

The moment the malevolent energy entered her body, it directly collided with the aura of the extreme north that lingered at the edge of her soul.

The Qi of Absolute Spirit attempted to devour the Qi of Evil, while the Qi of Evil Metal unleashed its destructive instincts, frantically tearing at the Qi of Absolute Spirit.

Two potentially lethal forces engaged in a brutal struggle on Su Chang'an's shattered soul battlefield.

Chi Chi Chi.

A faint sound of energy collisions emanated from Su Chang'an's body.

Fight poison with poison.

This is a high-stakes gamble, like walking a tightrope.

The sharpness of the Geng metal's malevolent energy shattered the deathly stillness of the spirit-suppressing energy.

The stubbornness of the spirit-severing energy further depleted the ferocity of the Geng metal's malevolent energy.

The two forces, locked in a struggle, somehow managed to create a strange, precarious balance.

Su Chang'an's body trembled violently beneath his cloak.

But in this extreme pain, a miracle occurred.

The forces that were originally meant to tear her apart canceled each other out, and the remaining energy was forcibly suppressed and absorbed by the Heavenly Fox Origin deep within her soul.

With the help of the power that Bai Yin sent from thousands of miles away, Su Chang'an's translucent body, which was on the verge of disintegrating, stopped dissipating.

The grayish-white light and shadow gradually stabilized.

It even briefly solidified by three-tenths.

She looked down at her hands, which no longer frequently pierced through solid objects.

"You silly tiger."

She murmured softly.

The sound was barely audible, yet it carried a weight powerful enough to overturn the extreme northern snowstorm.
