The green light passed over Ghost Mask, and the wound in his chest pierced by the Celestial Sword instantly healed more than half, but he was shocked to find that the power suppressing him still rendered him incapacitated. Jiang Baishan, feeling refreshed, kicked him twice once more.
The flowers, grass, and ancient trees affected by the earlier battle also went wild, growing explosively. In the blink of an eye, they were restored as new and continued to grow fiercely, extending widely, turning into a vibrant capital city full of life.
This scene resembled a miracle.
The three of Jiang Baishan couldn't help but think that just the leaked aftermath was already so magical, how would Qin Yun, who was at the center, be?
At this moment.
Qin Yun's body was suspended in the air.
A dense force of life was erupting.
Ning Qi kept searching for the almost invisible hint of life hidden within Qin Yun. This Seed of Life served as "bait".
He fully unleashed his Divine Intent, even feeling tired, almost as much as when exploring the White Ape's bloodline.
Fortunately.
The heavens do not disappoint those who strive.
Ning Qi raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of joy.
"I've found it!"
He followed the nearly invisible trace of life, allowing the Seed of Life to fully explode and then merge with it.
In Ghost Mask's incredulous eyes.
The lifeless Qin Yun, originally like a block of wood, suddenly moved. A surge of life spread through him, and in a speed visible to the naked eye, a hint of flush appeared on Qin Yun's face.
"How... how is this possible?" Ghost Mask looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Reviving someone with severed life force is something even a Martial Saint couldn't achieve; who exactly is this True Man Tianjian?
Meanwhile, Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua were full of joy.
They watched as Qin Yun's aura of life grew more intense, their bodies trembling with excitement.
But suddenly.
Ning Qi's expression changed.
A hint of anxiety appeared in his pupils, and then his internal Gang Qi instantly transformed into an extreme chill. With a wave of his hand, Qin Yun's body was immediately covered with layers of frost, turning into an ice statue in the blink of an eye, exuding a bitter coldness.
The states of life and extreme cold were intricately intertwined.
This sudden change altered the expressions of both Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua. Seeing Ning Qi's heavy expression, Jiang Baishan quickly asked:
"Jiu, has Ba not already regained his vitality?"
Before Ning Qi could answer, Ghost Mask immediately understood and burst into loud laughter:
"I understand now! To stop me, Qin Yun burnt through all his lifespan entirely. Even if you, True Man Tianjian, have Heaven-Reaching means to revive his life force, so what? He has no lifespan left, and even if you save him, he will age and die immediately! No one understands the Sad White Hair Secret Technique better than I do!"
"In the end, it's like drawing water with a sieve!"
He laughed wildly, knowing his fate wouldn't be good, and could only use his words to the fullest to disgust the enemy.
Jiang Baishan glared at him fiercely.
But he hoped Ning Qi would refute him.
Ning Qi was uncharacteristically silent for a moment, then calmly said:
"You're right; Senior Brother Ba indeed has his lifespan near the end. If we awaken him now and exhaust the last bit of his lifespan, then there's truly no hope."
Jiang Baishan's face turned ashen, while Lin Ruhua's eyes lit up as she asked:
"Ninth Brother, what about using life-extending items? Would that be effective?"
Jiang Baishan's eyes lit up too.
Life-extending items are rare treasures in the world, but at least there is hope.
Just as Ghost Mask was about to speak, Ning Qi casually waved his hand, sending him flying with a slap from a distance for being too annoying. He slowly shook his head:
"I'm afraid it's not possible; for any life-extending item, one must have a certain base of lifespan themselves. Have you ever seen any being in the world with a lifespan nearly gone still using life-extending items? They usually have ten or twenty years left to live at least."
Both fell silent at once.
"So... is there really no way?"
Jiang Baishan's voice was hoarse, unwilling to look at Qin Yun. Although now sealed in ice, Qin Yun's body was full of life, looking no different from an ordinary person except for his elderly appearance, causing him great heartache.
Ning Qi sighed softly:
"For now, we can only temporarily encase Senior Brother Ba in ice and think of a solution later."
His voice gradually became firm:
"Rest assured, I will find a way."
Being powerless now does not mean it will always be so.
He would continue to grow, and with his comprehension, he would surely be able to create a Lifespan Secret Technique, and if not in the Celestial Human Realm, then in the Martial Saint Realm. If not in the Martial Saint Realm, then beyond!
Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua were inspired by the determination in Ning Qi's eyes.
They nodded in unison.
Ning Qi was qualified to say these words.
After all, he was only eleven years old and had already achieved such unprecedented accomplishments; both his terrifying strength and the divine means shown while saving Qin Yun were astonishingly impressive.
In ordinary times, they would have long been stunned, unable to believe their own eyes, only suppressed previously by their worry for Qin Yun.
"Let's first return to the mountain together. In any case, this matter must be reported to Master," Ning Qi said softly.
Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua exchanged a glance and both nodded.
Having gone through this ordeal, they had no more hesitation. Since that was the case, there was no need to remain secluded in the outside world.
"Jiu, how should we handle him?" Jiang Baishan harbored intense hatred for Ghost Mask.
Ghost Mask's body quivered imperceptibly.
Ning Qi's gaze was indifferently cold:
"I originally descended the mountain to seek trouble with the Southern Border, never thought you would deliver yourself willingly, perfect then, I'll start with your Demon Sect."
