Falling into the Crack
Chapter 1271 Falling into the Crack
Those immortals who still retained their rationality were secretly glad that they hadn't acted rashly, and all of them respectfully bowed to the Demon Emperor.
Mei Huan looked at the Sacred Corpse Star-Slaying Blade in her hand, a hint of relief flashing in her charming eyes. Then she snapped her fingers, and dozens of immortals instantly perished on the spot. The Ghost Immortal's soul returned to heaven and earth directly, and the souls of the other immortals were crushed. Their eyes looked unwillingly at the Ghost Emperor Mei Huan, already lifeless.
The Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm then spoke lazily:
"Baili, you stay behind to clean up the mess."
Baili Yanque respectfully replied:
"Yes."
The Demon Emperor then took Di Fei and the other four and left. Baili Yanque looked at the remaining immortals:
"Everyone, an evil immortal has infiltrated the Langhuan Secret Realm, causing it to close prematurely. I am here on the orders of the Ghost Emperor to investigate this matter, and I hope you can cooperate."
How could anyone refuse? They all wore expressions of relief, indicating that they would tell them everything they knew without reservation.
Baili Yanque released his magic chamber and selected several people to assist him as they began to investigate what had happened during the time the secret realm had been open.
On the other side, Di Fei and the other four were recounting what happened after they entered the secret realm, and why they teamed up with Ran Xi, ultimately converging on the Holy Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
Di Fei was the last to recount her experience. She was the only one who witnessed Dugu Ye rushing forward to embrace Yun Xi and self-destruct, as well as Yun Xi falling into the spatial rift. Finally, she couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, will Ranxi be alright?"
The Demon Emperor smiled slightly and said:
“Look at the ‘soul-binding thread’ on your wrist. As long as it’s not broken, Ranxi is not dead.”
Di Fei touched her wrist, looking uncertain, and said:
"The Soul-Binding Threads are not severed, yet they cannot deliver me to Ranxi's side. Why is that?"
The Demon Emperor of the Enchanted Realm raised an eyebrow and said:
"After Ranxi fell into the spatial rift, she should have landed far away from our Immortal Realm. The power of this Soul-Binding Thread is limited and cannot cross too far to send you to her side. Please wait patiently."
Di Fei withdrew her hand from the Soul-Binding Silk, concealing her worry, before looking at the Demon Emperor and saying:
“Lord Ghost Emperor, Dugu Ye’s self-destruction at the end was very strange. I think he was being manipulated, and he probably didn’t even realize it himself.”
Mei Huan nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Baili will investigate this matter. You have done a good job on this mission, this is your reward."
After saying this, she handed over five soul rings, waved for them to leave, and then sent a message to Immortal Emperor Lin Yuan that Yun Xi had disappeared in the Langhuan Secret Realm, and she needed to inform Lin Yuan, who had brought her.
When Immortal Emperor Lin Yuan received the message from Mei Huan, he was initially delighted, but then his brows furrowed. He was delighted because the spirit of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade had been severely injured and almost completely destroyed, so it could not cause any trouble for the time being and had been sealed by Mei Huan.
He frowned because Ranxi, whom he had sent to the secret realm to retrieve the defensive soul artifact, had contributed the most, but at the last moment she was ambushed by the Ghost Realm Immortal and fell into a spatial rift, disappearing without a trace.
Immortal Emperor Lin Yuan raised his hand and issued an order to You Jun, instructing him to activate his intelligence network to search for Ran Xi's whereabouts and to bring her back as soon as possible, lest she fall into the hands of the evil immortal.
As Yunxi, who was on everyone's mind, fell into the spatial rift, golden immortal armor instantly appeared to protect her body, the Seven Star Deadly Staff returned to her dantian, the Sea of Consciousness Shield firmly protected her sea of consciousness, and the Seven-Colored Lotus guarded her dantian. Before completely losing consciousness, Yunxi withstood the tearing of the spatial gale and finally turned into a blood gourd and fell into an open rift.
Yunxi's consciousness became increasingly blurred, but she knew she was seriously injured. The inconspicuous Dugu Ye had actually embraced her and self-destructed at the critical moment. His completely black eyes confirmed that he was the puppet of the evil god.
As she fell into the crevice, she heard Di Fei's cries, but she no longer had the strength to respond. Torn and tossed about by the spatial gales, she went from excruciating pain to numbness. Just as her protective immortal armor began to dim, she saw a glimmer of light and heard a prayer. With her last ounce of strength, she rushed into the light, and then completely lost consciousness. She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard cries of pain, followed by a slightly aged, comforting voice:
"Madam, you need to conserve your energy; it's not time to give birth yet."
Yunxi felt something was strange. She moved her limbs, trying to open her eyes to see where she was, but even with her eyes open, she couldn't see anything clearly. However, she could hear intermittent cries of pain in her ears.
"Nanny, she's moving! She's finally moving! I'm in pain!"
"Madam, breathe in! Exhale! This is a sign of labor. Don't get too excited; the baby is entering the birth canal."
Yunxi felt herself entering a narrow passage in the next instant, which made her very uncomfortable. She subconsciously wriggled her body, trying to get rid of the space that was suppressing her as soon as possible. At the same time, there was a pushing force pushing her forward.
"Madam, give it a little more effort, I can see the child's head!"
Yunxi suddenly had a bad feeling, and her body froze on the spot. Then she heard an even more shrill scream, which frightened her so much that she didn't care about anything else and continued to wriggle out.
After her efforts, she finally crawled out of the tunnel, took a breath of fresh air, and the sounds around her became even clearer.
"Madam, half of the baby's body is out! One last push! Exhale! Inhale! Push! It's out! It's out!"
Surrounded by joyful congratulations, Yunxi couldn't see anything clearly. She only felt herself being lifted up and slapped on the butt. She opened her mouth to curse, but instead, she started sobbing, which made her body freeze instantly.
Just as she extended her divine sense, a scream rang out:
"Quick! Get a doctor! The young lady is bleeding all over!"
Then came a flurry of activity, and Yunxi also heard a slightly weak voice:
"Save my child."
Yunxi already had a general idea in mind, so she immediately withdrew her probing divine sense, actively sealed 90% of her soul power, and fell into a deep sleep the next moment.
After a period of chaos, the little baby was covered in needle marks from the doctor's needles, but the bleeding was stopped.
The wet nurse asked with a worried expression:
"Dr. Ye, how is my young lady?"
The man, addressed as Doctor Ye, removed the needles and replied:
"Excuse my bluntness, but your young lady has a congenital weakness. If she is well cared for, she may live to the age of sixteen. However, if she is not taken care of, she may die young. You'd better be prepared."
The wet nurse gasped upon hearing this, her already wrinkled face deepening with each passing moment. She asked, her voice pleading:
"Dr. Ye, is there no other way to ensure that the young lady lives to be a hundred years old?"
Physician Ye had already put away all the silver needles and gestured to the maid beside him to wrap the baby up before looking up and saying:
"If your prime minister can get the imperial advisor to intervene, there might still be a chance."
Good night~
