Chapter 468: Chapter 465: Crisis Approaches

”I’m at the hotel now!” Xiao Tian, afraid that Le Yaoyao might ask to speak to Lin Bingxuan, quickly explained.

”I don’t believe you!”

Le Yaoyao said sullenly, ”I’ve called her several times now, but her phone is always off!”

”Uncle Xiao, is Aunt disappointed in me?” The little girl’s voice was visibly anxious, ”Is she deliberately ignoring me?”

”How could that be!” Xiao Tian hadn’t expected the little girl would think this and hastily comforted, ”Your aunt loves you the most. She even said she wanted to come see you just a few days ago!”

”But I still feel something’s not right!” Le Yaoyao said suspiciously, ”Uncle Xiao, are you lying to me?”

Before Xiao Tian could deny it, feeling a chill run down his spine, Le Yaoyao tentatively called from the other end, ”Aunt, Aunt, are you there?”

The little girl’s voice wasn’t quiet. If Lin Bingxuan were conscious, she would clearly hear the girl’s call.

Just as Xiao Tian was about to explain that Lin Bingxuan was really not beside him, he was surprised to see Lin Bingxuan, who had been in a deep sleep on the hospital bed, slightly frown?!

Although it was just a fleeting moment, Xiao Tian caught it precisely. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again, only to find Lin Bingxuan still lying quietly as if nothing had changed.

Xiao Tian shook his head. Could he have been hallucinating?

”Cough, cough!”

A faint cough caught Xiao Tian’s attention. This time, it wasn’t a hallucination!

Lin Bingxuan was slightly frowning, emitting two faint coughs like the buzz of a mosquito. Seeing this, Xiao Tian quickly made an excuse to end the call and hurried to the bedside.

Gripping Lin Bingxuan’s wrist as usual, Xiao Tian’s joy slowly turned to horror, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and his forehead began sweating like a stream.

The last trace of life force in Lin Bingxuan was now showing signs of fading. Once this last spark is extinguished, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save her.

Xiao Tian once again channeled True Qi into Lin Bingxuan to combat the mysterious force, only to find that the True Qi, which could once contend with it equally, now collapses at the touch, unable to stop its advance.

In desperation, Xiao Tian took out the Life Seal and pressed it against Lin Bingxuan’s forehead, allowing True Qi from his body to rush furiously into the seal.

Previously, Xiao Tian dared not easily use the Life Seal to save Lin Bingxuan because he did not know the correct method. He had always tried to find the most reliable way to ensure her safety!

But now, with the previous method of channeling True Qi into her body completely failing, the Life Seal was his only hope!

Fortunately, the Life Seal soon began to change, slowly emitting a hazy glow until the entire room was filled with a golden light.

The light, though strong, was not glaring. As more and more of Xiao Tian’s True Qi rapidly poured in, the light began to spread and float across the room beautifully!

Like fireflies in the dark, or twinkling stars in the sky, blinking their eyes, but Xiao Tian had no heart to admire this beautiful scene.

At the moment, all his attention was on Lin Bingxuan, leaving no room for anything else.

Had he spared a thought to notice, he would have discovered these airborne light points were the exact opposite of the dark light emitted by Saintly Judge Doist that day—one was as dark as eternal night, the other as bright as day!

As Xiao Tian infused a third of his True Qi into the Life Seal, its power finally began to show!

The Life Seal acted like a True Qi filter, compressing, filtering, and purifying the True Qi before channeling it into Lin Bingxuan’s body, with surprisingly good results.

Since the True Qi began to enter Lin Bingxuan’s body through the Life Seal, the situation reversed completely. Where previously Xiao Tian’s True Qi shattered at a touch, now it was the mysterious Power of Death retreating hastily!

While Xiao Tian was overjoyed, he was also horrified by the consumption of more than half his True Qi, though the amazing and commanding effect of the Life Seal was gratifying!

But it was like a bottomless pit, seeming that no amount of True Qi could fill it!

Once nine-tenths of Xiao Tian’s True Qi was poured in, he finally stopped, panting, his face frighteningly pale.

Unconcerned with his own weakness, Xiao Tian immediately checked Lin Bingxuan’s condition.

The situation was unprecedentedly better than before; the Power of Death was pushed into a corner. If he could pour all his remaining True Qi into her, he could eradicate it completely!

However, if Xiao Tian really did this, it meant all his previous efforts would be in vain. His hard-earned current state would plummet, and he’d have to start all over again!

Xiao Tian wasn’t reluctant to lose his strength—it was something that could be rebuilt—not worth mentioning compared to Lin Bingxuan’s life.

But the enemy wouldn’t think so. Once Xiao Tian lost his cultivation, he would face a storm of retaliation from former enemies. While he wasn’t afraid of death, those around him would undoubtedly be dragged into the revenge, leaving him helpless!

Thinking this, Xiao Tian began to hesitate...

Xiao Tian had considered channeling his True Qi in batches, but the Power of Death endlessly pushed back the Life Seal’s power.

When he recovered his True Qi, the Power of Death also regained its strength, meaning its recovery rate matched that of Xiao Tian.

This created a deadlock; unless Xiao Tian eradicated it all at once, even if he dedicated all his time to recovering his True Qi without eating or drinking, he would only push it into a corner, unable to destroy it!

Seated cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Tian exhausted every means to speed up his True Qi recovery, constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind...

——

In the Dao Yi Sect’s main hall, Saintly Virtue Daoist dialed a number with a heavy heart...

...

”I don’t think it’s because Xiao Tian is too powerful!” Master Guanghuai, usually calm, lost his temper upon hearing Saintly Virtue Daoist’s account and cursed, ”It’s because you’re utterly useless!”

”The Five Elements Array is broken, the Mountain Protection Array destroyed, the Sect’s Treasure—the Life Seal—is taken!” Master Guanghuai coldly recounted Saintly Virtue Daoist’s ’glorious achievements’ with icy and merciless words, ”Junior Saintly Virtue, it seems you’re desperately looking to reunite with your three seniors?!”

Listening to the death threat, Saintly Virtue Daoist hurriedly excused himself, ”Senior brother, see reason, it’s Xiao Tian who caused this. I’ve been diligently staying on the mountain, not even stepping outside, he came to my door himself!”

Master Guanghuai, no longer willing to hear his explanations, abruptly hung up the phone. Treated in such a manner, Saintly Virtue Daoist became deeply unnerved, knowing the Sect Leader wasn’t one to lose his temper easily!

On the other side, a thoroughly enraged Master Guanghuai coldly ordered, ”Junior Guangmie, I must trouble you to make a trip and retrieve the sect’s precious belonging!”

”Xiao Tian, this time you’ve really angered me!”

Master Guanghuai’s eyes slowly grew colder as he spoke, a sinister plan forming in his heart...
