Fantasy: I Can Randomly Refresh My Realm

Mingjiao’s actionsSeeing Xiao Feng’s sharp gaze, that person immediately trembled all over, his teeth chattering, unable to even speak clearly.

He stammered, answering, ”It...it was the Ming Cult...the Ming Cult sent us!”

”Nonsense!” Xiao Feng roared, pointing his sword tip directly at that person’s throat.

”Don’t think I don’t understand the Ming Cult! Even if the Ming Cult is capable, they couldn’t possibly destroy the Three Immortals Island!”

Xiao Feng pondered inwardly. He had dealt with the Ming Cult several times and knew well that although the Ming Cult had a bad reputation, they were not people who indiscriminately killed the innocent.

Moreover, although the Ming Cult’s strength was great, destroying a major sect like the Three Immortals Island was by no means easy.

There must be someone else pulling strings behind this.

However, no matter how Xiao Feng threatened or tortured them, those two insisted it was the Ming Cult and wouldn’t change their story.

At this moment, Zhao Yuwei, who was nearby, sighed softly. She crossed her arms, analyzing calmly, ”It seems someone used the Ming Cult’s name to make them do this. So no matter how much you interrogate them, they will only insist it was the Ming Cult.”

Xiao Feng still had a trace of persistence in his heart. He shook his head and said, ”It’s absolutely impossible for it to be people from the Ming Cult. Although they are called the Demon Sect, I know the Ming Cult acts openly and honestly and would never do such a thing.”

Zhao Yuwei nodded and said in a calm tone, ”This matter needs to be investigated slowly and thoroughly in the future. The top priority now is to take Miss Mingyue away. The Three Immortals Island has been destroyed, and we cannot stay here any longer.”

Xiao Feng looked around, seeing only devastation and broken walls.

The former immortal sanctuary had now become a ruin.

He looked at Ouyang Mingyue, seeing her huddled in a corner like a startled little bird.

Xiao Feng’s heart softened, and he gently picked up Ouyang Mingyue.

Feeling the slight trembling of the person in his arms, he couldn’t help but tighten his grip, secretly vowing in his heart that he must uncover the truth!

Just like that, Xiao Feng, holding Ouyang Mingyue, left this sorrowful place with Zhao Yuwei.

The figures of the three gradually disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a scene of devastation, recounting this tragic and brutal event.

Before long, the three arrived at a secluded inn.

This was an ancient two-story wooden building, with a dim yellow lantern hanging before the door, swaying gently in the night wind.

Pushing open the creaking wooden door, they were met with a faint scent of sandalwood mixed with the aroma of wine and dishes.

Xiao Feng carefully placed Ouyang Mingyue on the bed in the guest room, while Zhao Yuwei busied herself preparing hot water and clean cloths.

She gently wiped Ouyang Mingyue’s face and arms, her movements meticulous, fearing she might hurt the traumatized woman.

”Zhao Yuwei, I’ll go buy some food for you.” Saying this, Xiao Feng turned and left.

Zhao Yuwei nodded.

”Miss Mingyue, you should rest well first. I’ll go boil some calming herbal medicine for you.”

A moment later, Zhao Yuwei said softly, gently patting Ouyang Mingyue’s hand.

However, just as Zhao Yuwei turned to leave the room, she keenly sensed a movement behind her.

Turning back sharply, she saw that Ouyang Mingyue had already wrapped the bedsheet several times around her neck and was about to pull hard.

”No!” Zhao Yuwei cried out in alarm, rushing forward to stop Ouyang Mingyue’s suicide attempt.

Ouyang Mingyue’s eyes were vacant, and she murmured, ”Why did you stop me? The Three Immortals Island is destroyed, what meaning is there in me living? It’s better to die with my sect elders, so we can meet in the netherworld...”

Zhao Yuwei held Ouyang Mingyue tightly and gently comforted her, ”Miss Mingyue, you can’t do this! Although the Three Immortals Island suffered this great disaster, not everyone may have perished. As long as we search diligently, we might find other survivors. By then, we can uncover the truth and avenge the Three Immortals Island! If you take your own life like this, wouldn’t you be letting down those fellow disciples who might still be alive?”

Hearing this, Ouyang Mingyue’s eyes flickered with a ray of hope, but it quickly dimmed again.

She smiled weakly, slowly extended her right hand, and said, ”Miss Zhao Yuwei, please take my pulse.”

Zhao Yuwei’s heart tightened, but she still pressed down on Ouyang Mingyue’s wrist.

As her true energy probed, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

There was surprisingly no Spirit Energy fluctuation within Ouyang Mingyue’s body, just like an ordinary person.

Zhao Yuwei was shocked in her heart, thinking, ”Could it be the work of those villains? To be so vicious as to even cripple her Foundation!”

Ouyang Mingyue looked at Zhao Yuwei’s expression and smiled bitterly, ”You found out, didn’t you? My Spirit Energy has been completely crippled. I am now a complete and utter cripple. Even if I knew who destroyed the Three Immortals Island, what ability do I have to seek revenge?”

Seeing Ouyang Mingyue’s painful and despairing appearance, Zhao Yuwei felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She knew well that any comfort at this moment would be futile and might even provoke Ouyang Mingyue.

After much deliberation, Zhao Yuwei gritted her teeth and quickly pressed Ouyang Mingyue’s sleeping acupoint.

”I’m sorry, Miss Mingyue. I can only protect you like this for now.” Zhao Yuwei said softly, carefully placing the unconscious Ouyang Mingyue on the bed and covering her with a blanket.

A moment later, Xiao Feng pushed the door open and entered, carrying several oil-paper packages in his hand.

”I bought some food back, you—”

His words stopped abruptly. Seeing the unconscious Ouyang Mingyue on the bed, he couldn’t help but frown and ask, ”What happened?”

Zhao Yuwei sighed and revealed everything that had just happened.

After hearing this, Xiao Feng’s brows were tightly furrowed, deep in thought.

He put down the food in his hand, came to the bedside, and carefully examined Ouyang Mingyue.

”How strange.” Xiao Feng whispered, ”Why were almost all the people on Three Immortals Island massacred, yet Ouyang Mingyue was only crippled in Spirit Energy but not killed?”

”Could it be...” Xiao Feng suddenly thought of something, ”Is there something special about Ouyang Mingyue that those murderers needed?”

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Yuwei’s eyes, ”You mean, those people might come back for her?”

Xiao Feng nodded, ”It’s very possible.”

Zhao Yuwei fell into deep thought, her brows tightly furrowed.

”If it’s really as Xiao Feng said, wouldn’t Ouyang Mingyue’s situation be even more dangerous?”

The night grew deeper, and the inn was silent both inside and out.

The dim yellow candlelight flickered in the room, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere to this restless night.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky, breaking the silence.

Zhao Yuwei was guarding Ouyang Mingyue’s bedside. Hearing this sound, she couldn’t help but be startled.

What surprised her even more was that Ouyang Mingyue suddenly jumped off the bed.

”Miss Mingyue, where are you going?” Zhao Yuwei asked hastily, watching Ouyang Mingyue rush towards the door.
