Chapter 169: The Death of Yu Batian (1)_1
The method at hand was indeed the only way to save Mo Zhenting, but he had two choices. He knew Dugu Qianye would definitely come to save Mo Zhenting, but he didn’t expect her to trust him this much! She must have considered the consequences, yet she still went forward.
Jiang Yu struggled internally, while Dugu Qianye was struggling within Mo Zhenting’s sea of consciousness as well. She felt the suction force growing stronger, but she no longer had the strength to contend with it. Finally, she was pulled into midair and quickly flew toward the center of the storm. Just as she was about to reach the edge of the storm, she suddenly disappeared.
"Ugh." Jiang Yu withdrew the Spiritual Mist, slumped to the ground, and watched the person on the bed with a pale face.
Dugu Qianye slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Jiang Yu, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Yu’s face was now as pale as his silver hair. All of his Spiritual Mist had been drained. Even a child could easily kill him now.
He still didn’t have the heart to do it! In the past, he had killed without batting an eye, and manipulated so many people, yet now he couldn’t bring himself to do it! If he had waited just one more second, he could have regained his freedom! But thinking of her calling him "companion," he gave up what might have been his only chance. Moreover, since she stayed inside longer, he expended more energy to pull her out.
"No problem," he replied faintly, "he should wake up in a while." After speaking, he vanished back into the Skeleton Earring.
Dugu Qianye didn’t speak, touched the earring, got out of bed, and helped Mo Zhenting to lie down. Then she let Mo Chi and the others come in while she found a place to rest. Entering Mo Zhenting’s sea of consciousness was very dangerous and exhausting, her spiritual power was extremely depleted, and she needed to rest well, or it would affect her cultivation in the future.
When Mo Chi and the others came in and saw how tired Dugu Qianye was, they told her to go rest. Dugu Qianye informed them and then vanished into the Refining Demon Pot.
"I wonder when dad will wake up," said Mo Laodi, looking at Mo Zhenting on the bed, who showed no change.
