I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Chapter 1918 Are you even letting people live?!

While the crisis inside continued unabated, at the same time, on the other side...

Ah Xiong had been sitting on the ground for a long time, his eyes fixed on the direction of the teleportation array, motionless. His once robust body seemed to have weakened considerably at this moment.

Ye Chuhan leaned against the pillar, her face looking rather pale.

Although he usually acts carefree and irresponsible, he knows that in times like these, nothing he says will make a difference, and he can only wait.

Lin Ruowei stood to the side, her hand on the whip, saying nothing. Her fingers trembled slightly, whether from nervousness or something else, it was hard to tell.

Mu Yaoyao kept her eyes closed and didn't speak, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her feelings.

Everyone waited silently for any movement inside. No one spoke; the entire main hall was so quiet that you could hear everyone's heartbeat.

Suddenly, Ah Xiong stood up abruptly: "What was that sound?"

Everyone looked at the teleportation array.

The array patterns, which had been dormant for more than two hours, suddenly lit up slightly.

This is not a normal transmission of light.

Instead, it was an extremely faint and unstable flicker, as if it might go out at any moment.

"It's Ming!" Ah Xiong's voice trembled with excitement. "It's them! They're coming back!"

Master Lingxu suddenly opened his eyes, and a stream of moonlight power instantly flowed into the array patterns.

With the support of the moonlight, the shimmering array patterns suddenly became more stable.

The next instant, two figures fell out of the array of light and crashed heavily onto the crystal floor of the main hall.

"Ming-ge!!"

Ah Xiong was the first to rush forward.

Mingchuan was covered in blood, his face was as pale as paper, and there were still strange grayish-white marks on his skin. His breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

But his hand was still tightly gripping the Order Token.

Chu Huai was in a slightly better condition than him, but even so, his face was also pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, but at least he could still barely stand up.

"Chu Huai!" Ye Chuhan and Lin Ruowei also rushed over.

Chu Huai waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He looked down at Ming Chuan with complicated emotions in his eyes.

“He…” Ah Xiong’s voice trembled, “Ming-ge, he…”

"He's still alive." Chu Huai's voice was hoarse. "He's held on. We've all held on."

Master Lingxu stepped forward quickly, and a stream of moonlight power probed into Mingchuan's body to examine him closely.

A moment later, he let out a long breath, a look of relief on his face.

"His life has been saved, but he is seriously injured and will need time to recover."

Ah Xiong plopped down on the ground, his eyes instantly reddening.

"Ming-ge...you're finally back...you scared me to death, I thought you were going to die, waaaaah..."

He wiped his face hard, stood up, turned to Chu Huai, and patted him on the shoulder forcefully.

"And you? How did it go? Did you get that Xuan Shui power?"

Chu Huai slowly raised his hand, and a deep sea-blue light appeared in his palm.

As soon as the light appeared, the crystal floor of the entire main hall trembled slightly, as if in resonance.

Outside the main hall, the gray-blue stardust glow that enveloped the entire ruins suddenly brightened several times over!

Master Lingxu's pupils contracted slightly: "This is..."

"The power of Xuan Shui".

Chu Huai's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Three void behemoths, seventy thousand years of accumulation, I've taken sixty percent of them!"

"The remaining 40% will be left there to maintain balance, and we'll come back for it next time we need it."

He paused, looked at Mingchuan, and a complex and excited expression flashed in his eyes: "Without Mingchuan, I would have died inside long ago. He withstood the Void for twenty-five breaths, using himself as my shield."

boom--

Everyone was thunderstruck!

Twenty-five breaths! Hold on for twenty-five breaths at the edge of Guixu!

Is that something a human could do?!

After a long silence, Ah Xiong sniffed hard, his eyes red, and cursed:

"Ming-ge, you're fucking insane! Didn't you think about what would happen to us if you died?! Waaaaah..."

Ah Xiong, a grown man, suddenly started crying like a fool, which made everyone around him feel incredibly complicated.

Master Lingxu shook his head: "Alright, alright, let your brother Ming get some rest first, otherwise he might not be able to handle it."

……

Mingchuan remained unconscious for three whole days.

Over the past three days, with the support of the Xuan Shui power injected by Chu Huai, Xuan Shui Yuan has restored more than 70% of its energy operation.

The protective formation was reactivated, and the alert level was raised to the highest level. Everyone waited anxiously for him to wake up.

Chu Huai stayed by Mingchuan's bedside, never leaving his side. He couldn't help but feel uneasy thinking about Mingchuan's heroic deeds.

The gatekeepers, the gatekeepers... they're not guarding a particular gate, but the people behind them.

And Mingchuan did just that!

Three days later, in the evening.

Mingchuan's eyelids twitched slightly.

Chu Huai suddenly stood up: "Mingchuan!"

Mingchuan slowly opened his eyes, a moment of confusion in them before his eyes cleared. However, the first thing he said was not to ask about his condition, but to give a very faint smile.

"Did it work?"

Chu Huai paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically:

"It's done."

Mingchuan smiled.

The smile was faint and weary, yet it carried a sense of relief and ease.

"That's good……"

He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

This time, his breathing was steady and his expression was peaceful.

Chu Huai stood by the bed, looking at that pale face, and remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a helpless sigh.

"You're really concerned about the country and its people, it makes me a little embarrassed."

He tucked the blanket around Mingchuan before turning and leaving the room.

Everyone was waiting outside. As soon as Chu Huai came out, Ah Xiong rushed up to him and asked, "How is Ming? How is he? I heard you move just now. Is he awake?"

Chu Huai smiled helplessly and nodded: "Your brother has woken up and is fine. You can rest assured."

Ah Xiong jumped three feet high and roared as he tried to rush inside, but Ye Chuhan grabbed him.

"Let him rest!" Ye Chuhan snapped irritably. "What are you doing making noise in there?"

Ah Xiong then stopped awkwardly, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Just as everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, Master Lingxu looked at Chu Huai and suddenly asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"

Chu Huai was slightly taken aback, then realized something, and the Cangming mark between his brows glowed faintly.

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul, now stable."

Everyone gasped.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul!

It only took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn from the peak of Core Formation to the mid-Nascent Soul stage!

What is this concept?

Ye Chuhan opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he managed to choke out, "...Chu Huai, you son of a bitch...do you even want people to live?"

Lin Ruowei and Mu Yaoyao were both dumbfounded!

This is absolutely incredible!!

But then Lin Ruowei smiled: "That's right, you earned this with your life, it's very fair. Congratulations!"

Mu Yaoyao smiled and nodded, "Congratulations."

Chu Huai nodded without saying much. In fact, he was not in the mood to be happy at all and was still feeling down.

He looked at Master Lingxu, his voice lowering:

"Senior, how much time do we have left?"
