891 14.167 Last Violet Star – Last man standing.

Jin Shiyan finds it hard to accept that his wife was exposed to death qi and was completely unaware of it. Even immortals can die from death qi, which is why the Devil Race and the God Race were at each other’s throats because of how strongly their respective elements clashed.

“The Teleportation Array is almost complete. We should prepare to go as well,” a voice from outside the bedroom said.

When Yun Huaxia reunited with the Bai Family after speaking with the elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect, he was perplexed to see them with grave expressions.

“Hm? What’s wrong?” asked the First Young Master Yun of the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

Bai Qiyin seeks comfort from his lover and hugs Yun Huaxia’s waist, “We need to return as soon as possible. Lili was inflicted with Death qi. Only gege could remove it.”

“We must treat Meimei as quickly as we can, so Father Bai, Mother Bai, and Shiyan, please go back to Lan Zhuayun Sect and join the first wave of survivors,” Yun Huaxia stated.

Bai Yuyan asked, “Is the Teleportation Array already made?”

“The big one isn’t but for a small group, it should be possible to go ahead. I and Yin’er still need to supervise here and head south afterward. Please go back first.” The First Young Master of Yun Clan said.

Bai Yuyan agreed with Yun Huaxia’s statements. He was aware that his daughter would be in less danger the sooner the death qi was extinguished. A death qi is very lethal for immortals, especially for the young ones who are unable to gather and isolate that qi inside themselves and stop the internal decomposition of their bodies.

.....

Xue Wuyue said to Jin Shiyan, “Shiyan, can you still carry Bai Lili? If not, let her dad do it.”

“Mother Bai, I can do it,” responded Jin Shiyan as he carefully carried his wife into his eyes.

He felt so bad for not knowing that a concealed threat was growing inside his wife’s body. Why didn’t they notice anything at all? As Bai Qiyin stated, he is a failure as a spouse. Until they returned to the western city, at least, Bai Yuyan made sure his daughter’s internal organs were safe by gathering and isolating the death qi in her body.

“The Ice Pill and my qi would restrain the death qi from rampaging in Lili’s body. We still need to get her treated as soon as we can. Let’s go!”

After a while without explaining to the elders remaining in the sect, Bai Yuyan, Xue Wuyue, Jin Shiyan, and Bai Lili left the building and went to the center of the array. They made advantage of a small teleportation array that Yun Huaxia had ordered to be built. Each person watched as the four vanished from view, shocking them all.

A few remaining elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect asked Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin...

“Oh?? They’ve really disappeared! Is this the teleportation array in the rumors?”

“Amazing! This is the first time in this old man’s life I had seen something like this!”

“Me too. How could these complicated symbols... Hm? Are these ancient runes?”

“Truly mesmerizing.”

These old men surrounded the little teleportation array to study, but Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin didn’t prohibit them from doing so because doing otherwise would have wasted time. Bai Qiyin talked to them, but he wasn’t as nice as his sister since he himself is a Sect Master like Jin Shiyan.

“Stop wasting time! Unless you want to stay here and feed the new waves of demons coming over!”

“Y-Yes, Sect Master Bai!”

“We will arrange a few disciples and an elder to help control the civilians and prevent some commotion.”

“Sect Master Bai, can we ask what happened to our Sect Master and Madam?”

Bai Qiyin answered, “You didn’t know? My sister had been inflicted with Death qi. We let them return to the Lan Zhuayun Sect as soon as possible to see my elder brother and treat Lili.”

“Madam has inflicted death qi!? Is she alright? Is that why the madam fainted?”

“I didn’t see you this worried when you thought Jin Shiyan had died. You old men even forced my younger sister to go home back him with her son.” Bai Qiyin said with a taunting tone in his voice and a mocking expression on his face.

The elders felt a little guilty. They recognize their faults. They had been actually the people who had compelled Madam Bai to leave the sect at that time because they believed Young Lord Jin Shiyan to be deceased. They have no choice but to bow their heads and behave like misbehaving kids so that their parents may correct them.

“We’re sorry. It will happen again.”

Yun Huaxia had to play the middle man between the two and said, “Yin’er let go. They still need to do their job. Once most of them had been transferred we need to go to the south as soon as possible. I’m a bit worried about Brother Tian and Lu Er.”

The elders, seeing that they are freed from the grumpiest Sect Master of all, bow their heads towards Sect Master Yun Huaxia with his usual gentle smile and watch the coaxing his wife as they walk away to do their duties. Taking one last glimpse of the couple, the old men thought that these two great cultivators hadn’t changed at all.

Bai Qiyin stared at his husband’s anxious expression and inquired, “Is there something wrong with Xiao Lu and dage?”

“Hm~ I’m a bit worried about what I heard from the elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect. They said that the demons were more cunning than before. They’ve sneaked inside the Sect and destroyed their communication crystal. Because of this, they were unable to contact us at all. If this situation happened to Lu Weifeng then it is no wonder I received no news from Brother Tian at all. Moreover, I am feeling uneasy all this time. What is this uncomfortable feeling?” said Yun Huaxia as he placed his hand above his throbbing heart.

Seeing his Dao Companion’s dark expression, Bai Qiyin comforted him as well and helped him rub his chest above his heart.

“Let’s hurry them back. Or leave an elder here who would control the people and leave one heavenly soldier to destroy the array afterward while we head south,” suggested Bai Qiyin.

“Un. Let’s do the second option. Let me speak with an elder and wait for the heavenly soldier to finish the cleanup.” Yun Huaxia said.

Bai Qiyin spoke, “It’s okay, Brother Hua. Uncles had gone ahead of time. They... They should be able to at least support them until we arrive. I also truly wish nothing bad had happened to them.”

“Yes, I hope so...” Yun Huaxia said while looking at the crimson sky above their heads. This is proof that demons had truly invaded the human race’s land.

In the Southern Territory...

It was already too late when Xue Yueguang and his husband Fan Yanyu arrived in the region. The entire city had crumbled. The Lu Weifeng Sect itself has been demolished, and there are no longer any standing buildings. Even though Xue Yueguang and Fan Yanyu appeared to be furious as they observed the spectacle of blood, murder, and gore beneath them yet at the same time they maintained composure.

Fan Yanyu said, “We are too late. The Lu Weifeng Sect is no more.”

“I don’t believe it! There must be survivors in the area, even a few... No, even at least one!” Xue Yueguang said.

He couldn’t help but grip his Dao Companion’s hand strongly to indicate his presence as he saw his wife’s grief at seeing the extinction of their own race. Xue Yueguang and Fan Yanyu met the young sect masters of the present generation despite staying at the Lan Zhuayun Sect as respectable seniors and felt proud of them. It is like watching their grandchildren grow up and assume responsibilities.

Fan Yanyu said, “Yue’er, first calm down. Use your heavenly eyes and check for human presence. I will protect you until then.”

“Un...” said Xue Yueguang as he gripped his Dao Companion’s hands. The strength on his hand showed his nervousness and hope altogether.

Xue Yueguang turned on his Heavenly Eyes and carefully scanned his surroundings. In his opinion, cultivators have colorful auras that represent the elements they are proficient in, while regular mortals have white auras. Demons, on the other hand, have a black aura.

As Xue Yueguang thoroughly examined his landscape, he noticed a dark aura practically everywhere. Up until he caught a glimpse of a little green light within the black one. In the middle of all the black auras, it was flickering as if it were ready to fade away, yet for some reason, it was still blazing.

“Found one!” Xue Yueguang exclaimed as he flew towards the fading green light. He flew so fast that Fan Yanyu had no choice but to go after his wife and protect him all the way.

When they plunged down the evil monsters started to attack them. These lowly demons, however, are nothing in the sight of immortals. Fan Yanyu just needed to make a few sword gestures to clear the way for his wife while dispatching the creatures in his route.

As they got closer to the ground, they finally saw the owner of the flickering light. It was Lu Yi. Both of his hands were missing. He bit his saber in his mouth and waves his body like an aggressive wild beast. Clearly, in his state, it was very hard to believe that the man is still alive.

“White Glaciers! Destroy!”

Xue Yueguang immediately used a large area attack and froze all the demons surrounding the dying youth.

BOOM. BOOOM. BANG!

After giving the youth some tablets for healing and regeneration, Fan Yanyu and Xue Yueguang whisked them away and flew away from that location. As they reached the location where there were fewer demons, Xue Yueguang began to help the young man with all of his strength, but when he noticed that his body was producing powerful death qi, he realized that the boy could no longer be rescued. Just the fact that he is still alive is a miracle itself.

The youth was being treated by Xue Yueguang, but as he watched what was occurring, his hand began to tremble. Lu Yi, who was only able to stay awake thanks to his strong will, recognized the two men who had saved him.

“U-Uncle Xue, Uncle Fan?”

Cough. Cough. Cough.

Fan Yanyu supported the boy in sitting upright so that he wouldn’t choke on the blood in his throat. He probably realized why his wife began to tremble since he had a grimace on his face. This is due to the young man’s condition being beyond their means. If Hei Anjing is here the possibility of saving this boy was a small fraction but with just them. It is impossible.

“Speak slowly. Breath slow. Say what you wish to say.” Fan Yanyu said with a soft voice as if comforting a child.

Chuckles~ cough!

While blood poured out of his lips, Lu Yi chuckled while gazing up at the blood-red sky. Yet despite his vision becoming blurry, he believed he had last seen the sky become blue.

“Xiao Er... Escape. Run... Towards... the west. Leave it... to you... Ah~... I want... to see... a blue... sky... one... last time...”

Together, Xue Yueguang and Fan Yanyu lifted their hands as they exchanged glances. They cleansed the skies above them and opened a little path with their qi. Inside that red heaven, there was a little hole that abruptly turned blue again. The divine qi of Gods was able to expel demonic miasma, but it was unable to get rid of the death qi that was embedded in Lu Yi’s flesh.

Lu Yi was looking when a tiny patch of the azure sky filled his field of vision. The withering hope in his heart had, in his opinion, sprung back to life. His face broke into a broad grin, and he said,

“Humanity. I. Wish. For. You. Victory!”

Lu Yi’s eyes gradually closed and their lifeless radiance faded after that. Both the Great Elder of the Lu Weifeng Sect and Sect Master Lu Er’s elder brother gently passed away with the hope and faith that the human race will endure. The two elders could only close their eyes in awe after seeing this spectacle. This young man is terrific all the way through. A warrior who carried a weapon in his mouth and stood on the battlefield while dying for his people and family. Like no other hero.

Fan Yanyu said, “Yue’er, froze his body. Let’s bring him home.”

“Un,” said Xue Yueguang whose eyes were bloodshot from overloaded emotions after freezing Lu Yi’s corpse. They flew away towards the direction of the west slowly trying to look for the survivor’s Lu Yi had exchanged his life for to save.
