A golden light flashed on the bald head of Sang Tugong, and a ball of green smoke quickly condensed into a ten-foot-long pangolin in the air!
The pangolin's eyes shone with a golden light, and its long red tongue kept spitting. The mucus on it dripped onto the ground in a disgusting manner, instantly corroding the ground into small pits, emitting a pungent light smoke.
Sang Tugong seemed to be in a meditative state. His eyes were wide open and motionless. In Ding Yuan's eyes, he looked like a clay statue.
The pangolin's front claws grabbed the flying tri-edged shuttle like a human. With a casual wave, a golden ripple shot out in all directions, and the nine beautiful ghosts hurriedly retreated as if they had encountered the King of Hell.
One of the women was slightly slower and was hit by the golden light. Her shrill ghost howl was instantly extinguished by the golden light.
Geng Wuxing stared fiercely at the pangolin in the air and said,""Essence Soul Leaving Body!"
It turned out that the huge pangolin was the life essence spirit of Sang Tugong. Five hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary pangolin in the Million Mountains. He had gained spirituality because he had accidentally consumed an immortal herb. After more than 300 years of cultivation, he finally became a human and took the name "Sang Tugong".
This earth burrowing technique could be said to be his method of making a living before he attained the Dao. After he cultivated it to become a demon, he was also famous in the Heavenly Continent. Most cultivators, regardless of whether they were righteous or demonic, had their natal primordial spirit, which was also the essence and life gate of the cultivator. If one cultivated to the peak, a demonic expert like Sang Tugong could also use his natal primordial spirit to wander outside the world, but it would rarely appear when he encountered an enemy.
The power of the original primordial spirit was powerful, but once it left the body, the body would lose its support, and it was easy for enemies to take the opportunity to destroy it. Secondly, the primordial spirit leaving the body consumed the most internal qi. Not to mention the lack of internal qi and the fear of losing his soul when he couldn't retrieve his body in time, even if he could successfully return to the body, it would greatly damage his vitality. It would take at least a few decades to a hundred years to recover.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous the situation was, the experts of the righteous and demonic paths rarely used their natal primordial spirits to retreat. Otherwise, even if they succeeded, they would become half a cripple, and their future decades would not be easy.
However, when he met someone like Sang Tugong, who was so simple-minded, he didn't care about anything else when he became ruthless. He actually released his primordial spirit without even saying a word.
Even someone like Geng Wuxing couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this. Even if he wanted to retreat, Sang Tugong probably wouldn't let him go. Helpless, he could only fight to the death. He was also secretly complaining in his heart. He originally wanted to make the other party suffer a little and retreat, but who knew that the Mulberry Earth Duke would really risk his life.
He focused all his attention and gritted his teeth to activate the evil sect's true qi that he had cultivated for sixty years. The Nine Nether White Jade Fan danced in his hand like a windmill, and he continuously injected his power into the eight Ghost Concubines.
The black light in the eyes of the eight female ghosts and vengeful spirits in the air intensified, and their figures grew larger and larger. In the end, they were as tall as two burly men. Under the control of Geng Wuxing's incantation, they launched a second attack at the life origin spirit of the Duke of Sang Tu.
This man, one demon, and eight ghosts engaged in a fierce battle in the Earth Temple. They killed until the world was dark and the mountains and rivers were moved.
The pangolin formed by the life essence spirit of Sang Tugong danced around like a three-edged shuttle. It was like a demon god that had descended to the mortal world, and its killing intent was unstoppable. Although the eight Ghost Concubines that Geng Wuxing was driving were powerful, they were much weaker in terms of cultivation. They only dared to fight from afar.
Geng Wuxing also had his own wishful thinking. He knew that although the life essence of the Duke of Mulberry Earth was powerful, it could not last long. As long as he could withstand the initial period of effort, the Duke of Mulberry Earth would definitely be doomed. Although he said that, if he really wanted to resist the primordial spirit of the Duke of Mulberry Earth, Geng Wuxing would have to use all his skills. If he was still alive, he would need to go into seclusion for more than ten years to recover from this battle.
Ding Yuan and Su Zhiyu had already retreated to a corner. Looking at the earth-shattering battle between the two, Ding Yuan whispered,"Yu 'Er, it seems that none of them can care about you now. Hurry up and escape.”
"Brother Ding, come with me," Su Zhiyu said.”
Ding Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. If he could leave, he would have left long ago. Why would he wait here foolishly to make Chinese food for those two demons?
He urged Su Zhiyu,"Why do you care about me? We have nothing to do with each other. After today, we will go our separate ways."”
"Brother Ding, you're a good person. I can't leave you behind." Su Zhiyu shook her head. When I find my parents, I will definitely beg my father to accept you as his last disciple.”
Ding Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know much about the Immortal and Demon Dao, he knew that Su Zhen and his wife were definitely first-class figures after tonight. If Su Zhenzhen was willing to teach him the art, even if she learned half of his, it would be enough to take revenge.
However, he was a proud person and would never lower his voice to beg others for this, so he said,"I won't beg your father, and you don't have to beg for me. Hurry up and leave now, or it'll be too late.”
Su Zhiyu thought for a moment, then reached her little hand under Ding Yuan's arm and carefully helped him up."I'll take you with me."
As they were speaking, they suddenly heard Geng Wuxing's furious shriek. The two of them looked up and saw that half of the eight Ghost Concubines had been destroyed by Duke of Mulberry's natal primordial spirit!
Geng Wuxing's heart ached and he was afraid. This Nine Nether White Jade Fan was a treasure that Chu Wangtian had personally passed down to him. It was one of the personal treasures that Chu Wangtian had been proud of in his early years. It was not easy to collect the nine female ghosts. Destroying one meant one less female ghost.
Tonight's fierce battle had been broken by more than half by the Mulberry Earth Duke. Not only was his heart aching, but he also couldn't explain it to his master when he returned.
Geng Wuxing screamed in anger,"Old ghost, you destroyed my immortal treasure. I'll fight you to the death!"”
A cold wind blew in the Earth Temple, and rumbling thunder came from the sky. Geng Wuxing's clothes swelled up like balloons, and the Nine Nether White Jade Fan in his hand shot out tens of thousands of black lights.
It turned out that Geng Wuxing, in his anger, had used the "Nine Nether Heavenly Fiend Art" that he had never used since his debut. He was going to kill Sang Tugong at the cost of half a sixty-year cycle of cultivation.
This made things difficult for Su Zhiyu and Ding Yuan. The two of them could not even stand in the strong wind, let alone Su Zhiyu who had to help Ding Yuan escape from the Earth Temple. Every step Su Zhiyu took was blown askew by the strong wind. It was harder than ascending to the sky to take dozens of steps.
Seeing this, the primordial spirit released by Duke of Sang Tu was not afraid. Instead, it abandoned the four Ghost Concubines who could no longer fight and waved the tri-edged shuttle in its hand as it charged towards Geng Wuxing.
Geng Wuxing's eyes were completely black. His malevolent face was as terrifying as a demon, and there was not a hint of charm in it. Under the control of its master, the Nine Nether White Jade Fan burst out three balls of black flames, which transformed into three black-armored fiends in the air. They held axes in their hands and fought against the primordial spirit of the Duke of Sang Tugong.
The danger of this battle was many times greater than the previous one. In just a short moment, a black-armored fiend was pierced through by the tri-edged shuttle and his soul scattered. However, Sang Tugong's Essence Soul did not fare well either. The other Black-armored Demon God took the opportunity to slash down on the pangolin's thick back. Although it did not cut through the pangolin's body, its flesh was torn apart and it was dripping with blood.
Geng Wuxing spat out a mouthful of blood as if he had sensed something. He waved the fan in his hand even faster. On the other side, Sang Tugong's body also shook, and a bloody wound appeared on his back.
The pangolin let out a mournful cry and bravely used the three-edged shuttle to cut off the arm of the black-armored fiend that had stabbed it. However, it also took another blow. In just a moment, the pangolin was covered in wounds and blood. However, it had also killed one of the black-armored demonic spirits and half of the four Ghost Concubines.
The two of them panted more and more violently. Geng Wuxing kept spitting out black gas, and Sang Tugong's primordial spirit also kept gasping. But at this moment, they could not stop and could only fight to the death.
The pangolin suddenly let out a low growl, and the triangular shuttle killed the two Ghost Concubines on both sides. However, its chest was also slashed open by the black armored fiend's sharp axe, and even its intestines flowed out.
Su Zhiyu had never seen such a bloody scene before. She couldn't help but exclaim and almost vomited on the spot.
Geng Wuxing spurted out a mouthful of blood as his body bounced up. The Nine Nether White Jade Fan turned into a blade light and slashed at the pangolin's head.
The tri-edged shuttle in the pangolin's hand quickly bounced up to block the jade fan, but the black-armored fiend next to it raised its axe and slashed again. Geng Wuxing took the opportunity to wave his jade fan, and the nine fan ribs shot out like sharp arrows. The primordial spirit of the Duke of Sang Tu was so close that he did not even have the time to dodge.
The pangolin swung its head and ignored the axe and the fan ribs. It spat out its long tongue like a spear and pierced through the black-armored fiend's heart. The black-armored fiend was destroyed, but the axe still struck its back before it died.
Puff! The nine fan ribs pierced into the pangolin's body, and blood spurted into the sky.
The pangolin roared in pain, and the tri-edged shuttle in its hand stabbed deeply into Geng Wuxing's chest. Geng Wuxing did not expect the Duke of Sang to be so powerful. He let loose his jade fan and flew backward.
Sang Tugong's primordial spirit was also at the end of its rope. It could not even pull out the three-edged shuttle. Its huge and heavy body fell heavily to the ground. It could not move at all. Blood flowed out of its body. It looked like it would not live any longer.
" Pa!" Geng Wuxing's body also fell solidly at the temple entrance. He could no longer move like a dead fish, and the triangular shuttle was still stuck in his chest.
It was a fierce battle, but he did not expect that in the end, both sides would suffer.
Su Zhiyu was helping Ding Yuan to escape to the door when she saw a black shadow fall in front of her. It was Geng Wuxing who fell to the ground. She couldn't help but be shocked.
However, when he lowered his head and saw that Geng Wuxing was already breathing out more than he was breathing, he heaved a sigh of relief and lifted his leg, wanting to walk past Geng Wuxing.
Who knew that Geng Wuxing was not really dead. He suddenly jumped up and opened his hands to pinch Su Zhiyu."Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!”
Su Zhiyu was stunned, unable to move. Although Ding Yuan was also stunned, he was still quick-witted and stood in front of Su Zhiyu to protect her. Geng Wuxing's pair of bloody hands were grabbing his throat, causing him to be unable to breathe, and even his bones were about to break.
Ding Yuan relied on the last bit of consciousness he had left to grab the triangular shuttle in front of Geng Wuxing's chest and twist it with all his strength. If it was the Mortal Armament Plains in the human world, it would not be able to do anything to Geng Wuxing, but this Tri-edged Shuttle was a demonic treasure cultivated by Sang Tugong for a hundred years.
Geng Wuxing let out a loud cry. His hands gradually loosened, and his body fell backward. Ding Yuan felt his throat relax. Just as he took a deep breath, he saw Geng Wuxing's eyes suddenly widen. He grabbed the three-edged shuttle with both hands and pushed it forward. The three-edged shuttle actually pierced through Ding Yuan's chest and came out from his back.
The two of them were pierced by the triangular shuttle and fell straight down.
"Brother Ding!" Su Zhiyu was shocked by the scene in front of her and screamed.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder as if someone was holding her. She subconsciously cried out again, almost crying out.
A gentle voice came from behind him,""Yu 'Er, don't be afraid. Father and Mother are here.”
Su Zhiyu turned around and saw Shui Qingqing standing behind her. Although she looked tired, her eyes were full of love and comfort.
Beside Shui Qingqing, Su Zhen's face was ashen. His black clothes were damaged in several places, and dark red blood seeped out.
Su Zhiyu's nerves, which had been tensed up for half the night, suddenly relaxed. She cried,"Mother!" He threw himself into Shui Qingliang's arms.
Shui Qing gently caressed her daughter's back and comforted her gently,"Alright, daughter. It's okay now."
Su Zhen walked to Ding Yuan and Geng Wuxing's side. Geng Wuxing was already out of breath, and Ding Yuan was also on the verge of death.
Su Zhen knew that he could not rashly pull out the triangular shuttle from Ding Yuan's chest, so he reached out and pressed several acupuncture points on Ding Yuan's body, temporarily sealing his blood with his immortal zhenqi.
"Father, quickly save Brother Ding!" Su Zhiyu broke free from Shui Qingliang's embrace and said anxiously.
Su Zhen frowned and shook his head."I'm afraid your Brother Ding won't live.”
Su Zhiyu was stunned. She cried," I don't want to. Father, you are so resourceful. There must be a way."”
Su Zhen and Shui Qingling looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They fought hard with the nine masters of the Azure Mountain for half a day and finally defeated the enemy. A second-generation disciple of the Bi Luo Mountain was killed by Su Zhen on the spot and five others were injured. If it wasn't for Shui Qingying's persuasion, perhaps none of them would have made it back alive.
However, Su Zhen and Shui Qingying had also consumed a large amount of their energy, and they would have to return home to cultivate for at least a few years. They missed their daughter and hurried back to the inn. However, they saw that the guest room was empty. Only the Skyheart Lamp was still there.
Fortunately, there was a silver bell bracelet on Su Zhiyu's wrist. There were two silver bell bracelets called the "Rhinoceros Bracelet", each with eight silver bells the size of a small fingernail. As long as he used his zhenqi to activate one of them, the other would be able to respond even from a thousand miles away.
The activated bracelet could ring the corresponding silver bell according to the location of the other bracelet. It was with this Rhinoceros Bracelet that Su Zhen and his wife found the Earth Temple.
They saw Geng Wuxing pounce on his daughter from afar. It was a pity that distant water could not quench the thirst of the present, so they could only watch helplessly. Shui Qingliang even closed her eyes and could not bear to watch anymore. Who would have thought that Ding Yuan would appear out of nowhere and save Su Zhiyu at a critical moment? Su Zhen and Shui Qingming were extremely grateful to him.
Therefore, if there was a way, the couple would try to cure Ding Yuan. Unfortunately, the Three-edged Shuttle penetrating the body was not a child's play. Even with Su Zhen's divine power, he was helpless.
Suddenly, he heard a stuttering voice sigh faintly,""This, this doll, is really-not bad. Unfortunately, it has to-have to go to hell with me, Old Monster!”It was the primordial spirit of the Duke of Mulberry who was talking on the ground.
Su Zhensui had not seen the Duke of Sang kidnap his daughter, but he had guessed most of it. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of him and only snorted coldly.
Su Zhiyu looked at Sang Tugong's dying appearance, but her heart was moved. She pleaded,"Dad, this person is actually not bad. You should save him too.”
Su Zhen wanted to ignore it, but his heart softened when he looked at his daughter. In his early years, he was also a top figure of the demonic path and had always acted arrogantly. However, after meeting Shui Qingqing, he restrained his temper quite a bit. After sixty years of quiet cultivation, his temperament had become much gentler.
Looking at Su Zhiyu's face, Su Zhen thought to himself,"I can't save Ding Yuan. That Sang Tugong doesn't have any evil intentions other than coveting the treasures in my hands. He's also a straightforward person.”
Thus, he made a seal with his right hand and activated his true essence. A green light flashed on his face as he withdrew the life origin spirit of Sang Tugong back into his body.
Sang Tugong's body trembled and he slowly fell to the ground. He sighed and said,""Thank you, thank you, but, but I'm afraid, I won't live, either!”
Su Zhen raised his hand and threw three red pills at Sang Tugong's feet. He said coldly,""Take it first, then find a quiet place to regulate your zhenqi. After that, go home and enter seclusion for a few years. Even if you can't recover your strength, it's enough for you to protect yourself.”
Sang Tugong was stunned. He naturally knew that these three pills were the famous Carefree Pills. Although Su Zhen had refined them, it would take at least decades, and he would never refine more than twelve pills at a time. The other party had never met him before, but he had given him three pills at once. He could not help but be moved.
Although he was one of the nine demons of the Heaven Continent, he had always been alone and had no friends. Many people were in awe of him to his face, but behind his back, they all laughed at his stuttering. Who knew that not only did Su Zhen spend his True Essence to help his Essence Soul return, he even generously gave him three Carefree Pills. He could not help but feel a myriad of emotions.
Sang Tugong put away the Carefree Pill and said with difficulty,"Th-thank you!"
Su Zhen did not appreciate it and said coldly,"There's no need. I'm only doing this for Yu 'Er's sake."”
Sang Tugong didn't say anything else. He silently consumed the Carefree Pill, and a sweet warm current instantly spread throughout his body. At this moment, he made up his mind that he must repay this favor no matter what. A few years later, Sang Tugong went through fire and water for the sake of today's love, becoming a legend in the world.
Ding Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and vaguely saw Shui Qingming and Su Zhiyu. He smiled in relief and said in an almost inaudible voice,"I, I finally didn't break my promise!”
Hearing this, Su Zhiyu's tears flowed again. She sobbed and choked,"Father, Mother, quickly think of a way!”
Shui Qingqing knew that this was Ding Yuan's final moment of life, and even the Carefree Pill could not save him, so she could only shake her head and remain silent.
Su Zhen sighed and said in a rare gentle tone,"Child, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me. Even if it's to move mountains and overturn seas, I, Su Zhen, will definitely do it for you!”
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be shocked. Su Zhen had always been a man of his word. No matter what wish Ding Yuan had, Su Zhen would definitely fulfill it. Even if the entire Heaven Continent was turned upside down, Su Zhen would not hesitate.
Dante had an extremely stubborn personality. He shook his head slightly and said,"What wish can a small character like me have? If I die, so be it. There's nothing to be afraid of. I only need to trouble you to bury me in a place where no one is around. From now on, no one will give me the cold shoulder.”
Even Shui Qingqing couldn't help but tear up as she looked at her husband and said,""Is there really no other way?”
Su Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"There's only a slim chance of survival. I'll go to Emerald Cloud Sect and Daoist Master Danyi to ask for a Nine Reversal Heaven Golden Pill. Then, I'll use Emerald Cloud Sect's Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Heart Technique to cleanse this child's marrow, change his body, and reconstruct his physical body. Not to mention that the Emerald Cloud Sect only had four Nine Reincarnation Golden Pills, the Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Heart Technique required the six old fogeys of the Emerald Cloud Sect to work together for thirty-six days before it could be completed. It was extremely dangerous and could easily lead to Qi deviation. Even if the child was saved, the six old men would each lose several years of cultivation. Although Daoist Dan Yi is a righteous person, I have no relationship with him at all. How could he be willing to help me?”
When Su Zhiyu heard that there was still hope for Ding Yuan to be saved, she hurriedly pulled on her father's clothes and begged,"Father, I beg you, you must let that Master Daoist Dan save Brother Ding!”
Shui Qingying pondered for a moment and said slowly,""I can't say. I can only give it a try. After all, this child became like this because of Yu 'Er.”
Su Zhen smiled bitterly." There's no harm in giving it a try. But I'm afraid that he'll take the opportunity to ask me for that thing. Should I give it to him or not?"”
Shui Qing trembled and lowered her head. Looking at Ding Yuan's serene face, she gritted her teeth and said,"Then give it to him! In any case, you and I won't be able to understand the profundity of it in the past sixty years, so why don't we give it to him? He was an upright person. Even if he could really get that thing, it would be a blessing for the Heavenly Continent.”
Su Zhen looked at his wife's determined expression. After a long while, he nodded heavily and said,"Alright, let's go to Emerald Cloud Mountain now. However, I won't give that thing to Dan Yi so easily even if he wants it!”
Su Zhiyu listened to her parents 'conversation and quietly lowered her head to look at Ding Yuan."Brother Ding, hold on a little longer. You will definitely survive!”
A teardrop fell silently on Ding Yuan's face.

Sang Tugong's primordial spirit was also at the end of its rope. It could not even pull out the three-edged shuttle. Its huge and heavy body fell heavily to the ground. It could not move at all. Blood flowed out of its body. It looked like it would not live any longer.
" Pa!" Geng Wuxing's body also fell solidly at the temple entrance. He could no longer move like a dead fish, and the triangular shuttle was still stuck in his chest.
It was a fierce battle, but he did not expect that in the end, both sides would suffer.
Su Zhiyu was helping Ding Yuan to escape to the door when she saw a black shadow fall in front of her. It was Geng Wuxing who fell to the ground. She couldn't help but be shocked.
However, when he lowered his head and saw that Geng Wuxing was already breathing out more than he was breathing, he heaved a sigh of relief and lifted his leg, wanting to walk past Geng Wuxing.
Who knew that Geng Wuxing was not really dead. He suddenly jumped up and opened his hands to pinch Su Zhiyu."Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!”
Su Zhiyu was stunned, unable to move. Although Ding Yuan was also stunned, he was still quick-witted and stood in front of Su Zhiyu to protect her. Geng Wuxing's pair of bloody hands were grabbing his throat, causing him to be unable to breathe, and even his bones were about to break.
Ding Yuan relied on the last bit of consciousness he had left to grab the triangular shuttle in front of Geng Wuxing's chest and twist it with all his strength. If it was the Mortal Armament Plains in the human world, it would not be able to do anything to Geng Wuxing, but this Tri-edged Shuttle was a demonic treasure cultivated by Sang Tugong for a hundred years.
Geng Wuxing let out a loud cry. His hands gradually loosened, and his body fell backward. Ding Yuan felt his throat relax. Just as he took a deep breath, he saw Geng Wuxing's eyes suddenly widen. He grabbed the three-edged shuttle with both hands and pushed it forward. The three-edged shuttle actually pierced through Ding Yuan's chest and came out from his back.
The two of them were pierced by the triangular shuttle and fell straight down.
"Brother Ding!" Su Zhiyu was shocked by the scene in front of her and screamed.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder as if someone was holding her. She subconsciously cried out again, almost crying out.
A gentle voice came from behind him,""Yu 'Er, don't be afraid. Father and Mother are here.”
Su Zhiyu turned around and saw Shui Qingqing standing behind her. Although she looked tired, her eyes were full of love and comfort.
Beside Shui Qingqing, Su Zhen's face was ashen. His black clothes were damaged in several places, and dark red blood seeped out.
Su Zhiyu's nerves, which had been tensed up for half the night, suddenly relaxed. She cried,"Mother!" He threw himself into Shui Qingliang's arms.
Shui Qing gently caressed her daughter's back and comforted her gently,"Alright, daughter. It's okay now."
Su Zhen walked to Ding Yuan and Geng Wuxing's side. Geng Wuxing was already out of breath, and Ding Yuan was also on the verge of death.
Su Zhen knew that he could not rashly pull out the triangular shuttle from Ding Yuan's chest, so he reached out and pressed several acupuncture points on Ding Yuan's body, temporarily sealing his blood with his immortal zhenqi.
"Father, quickly save Brother Ding!" Su Zhiyu broke free from Shui Qingliang's embrace and said anxiously.
Su Zhen frowned and shook his head."I'm afraid your Brother Ding won't live.”
Su Zhiyu was stunned. She cried," I don't want to. Father, you are so resourceful. There must be a way."”
Su Zhen and Shui Qingling looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They fought hard with the nine masters of the Azure Mountain for half a day and finally defeated the enemy. A second-generation disciple of the Bi Luo Mountain was killed by Su Zhen on the spot and five others were injured. If it wasn't for Shui Qingying's persuasion, perhaps none of them would have made it back alive.
However, Su Zhen and Shui Qingying had also consumed a large amount of their energy, and they would have to return home to cultivate for at least a few years. They missed their daughter and hurried back to the inn. However, they saw that the guest room was empty. Only the Skyheart Lamp was still there.
Fortunately, there was a silver bell bracelet on Su Zhiyu's wrist. There were two silver bell bracelets called the "Rhinoceros Bracelet", each with eight silver bells the size of a small fingernail. As long as he used his zhenqi to activate one of them, the other would be able to respond even from a thousand miles away.
The activated bracelet could ring the corresponding silver bell according to the location of the other bracelet. It was with this Rhinoceros Bracelet that Su Zhen and his wife found the Earth Temple.
They saw Geng Wuxing pounce on his daughter from afar. It was a pity that distant water could not quench the thirst of the present, so they could only watch helplessly. Shui Qingliang even closed her eyes and could not bear to watch anymore. Who would have thought that Ding Yuan would appear out of nowhere and save Su Zhiyu at a critical moment? Su Zhen and Shui Qingming were extremely grateful to him.
Therefore, if there was a way, the couple would try to cure Ding Yuan. Unfortunately, the Three-edged Shuttle penetrating the body was not a child's play. Even with Su Zhen's divine power, he was helpless.
Suddenly, he heard a stuttering voice sigh faintly,""This, this doll, is really-not bad. Unfortunately, it has to-have to go to hell with me, Old Monster!”It was the primordial spirit of the Duke of Mulberry who was talking on the ground.
Su Zhensui had not seen the Duke of Sang kidnap his daughter, but he had guessed most of it. Naturally, he did not have a good impression of him and only snorted coldly.
Su Zhiyu looked at Sang Tugong's dying appearance, but her heart was moved. She pleaded,"Dad, this person is actually not bad. You should save him too.”
Su Zhen wanted to ignore it, but his heart softened when he looked at his daughter. In his early years, he was also a top figure of the demonic path and had always acted arrogantly. However, after meeting Shui Qingqing, he restrained his temper quite a bit. After sixty years of quiet cultivation, his temperament had become much gentler.
Looking at Su Zhiyu's face, Su Zhen thought to himself,"I can't save Ding Yuan. That Sang Tugong doesn't have any evil intentions other than coveting the treasures in my hands. He's also a straightforward person.”
Thus, he made a seal with his right hand and activated his true essence. A green light flashed on his face as he withdrew the life origin spirit of Sang Tugong back into his body.
Sang Tugong's body trembled and he slowly fell to the ground. He sighed and said,""Thank you, thank you, but, but I'm afraid, I won't live, either!”
Su Zhen raised his hand and threw three red pills at Sang Tugong's feet. He said coldly,""Take it first, then find a quiet place to regulate your zhenqi. After that, go home and enter seclusion for a few years. Even if you can't recover your strength, it's enough for you to protect yourself.”
Sang Tugong was stunned. He naturally knew that these three pills were the famous Carefree Pills. Although Su Zhen had refined them, it would take at least decades, and he would never refine more than twelve pills at a time. The other party had never met him before, but he had given him three pills at once. He could not help but be moved.
Although he was one of the nine demons of the Heaven Continent, he had always been alone and had no friends. Many people were in awe of him to his face, but behind his back, they all laughed at his stuttering. Who knew that not only did Su Zhen spend his True Essence to help his Essence Soul return, he even generously gave him three Carefree Pills. He could not help but feel a myriad of emotions.
Sang Tugong put away the Carefree Pill and said with difficulty,"Th-thank you!"
Su Zhen did not appreciate it and said coldly,"There's no need. I'm only doing this for Yu 'Er's sake."”
Sang Tugong didn't say anything else. He silently consumed the Carefree Pill, and a sweet warm current instantly spread throughout his body. At this moment, he made up his mind that he must repay this favor no matter what. A few years later, Sang Tugong went through fire and water for the sake of today's love, becoming a legend in the world.
Ding Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and vaguely saw Shui Qingming and Su Zhiyu. He smiled in relief and said in an almost inaudible voice,"I, I finally didn't break my promise!”
Hearing this, Su Zhiyu's tears flowed again. She sobbed and choked,"Father, Mother, quickly think of a way!”
Shui Qingqing knew that this was Ding Yuan's final moment of life, and even the Carefree Pill could not save him, so she could only shake her head and remain silent.
Su Zhen sighed and said in a rare gentle tone,"Child, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me. Even if it's to move mountains and overturn seas, I, Su Zhen, will definitely do it for you!”
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely be shocked. Su Zhen had always been a man of his word. No matter what wish Ding Yuan had, Su Zhen would definitely fulfill it. Even if the entire Heaven Continent was turned upside down, Su Zhen would not hesitate.
Dante had an extremely stubborn personality. He shook his head slightly and said,"What wish can a small character like me have? If I die, so be it. There's nothing to be afraid of. I only need to trouble you to bury me in a place where no one is around. From now on, no one will give me the cold shoulder.”
Even Shui Qingqing couldn't help but tear up as she looked at her husband and said,""Is there really no other way?”
Su Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"There's only a slim chance of survival. I'll go to Emerald Cloud Sect and Daoist Master Danyi to ask for a Nine Reversal Heaven Golden Pill. Then, I'll use Emerald Cloud Sect's Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Heart Technique to cleanse this child's marrow, change his body, and reconstruct his physical body. Not to mention that the Emerald Cloud Sect only had four Nine Reincarnation Golden Pills, the Six Harmonies Rejuvenation Heart Technique required the six old fogeys of the Emerald Cloud Sect to work together for thirty-six days before it could be completed. It was extremely dangerous and could easily lead to Qi deviation. Even if the child was saved, the six old men would each lose several years of cultivation. Although Daoist Dan Yi is a righteous person, I have no relationship with him at all. How could he be willing to help me?”
When Su Zhiyu heard that there was still hope for Ding Yuan to be saved, she hurriedly pulled on her father's clothes and begged,"Father, I beg you, you must let that Master Daoist Dan save Brother Ding!”
Shui Qingying pondered for a moment and said slowly,""I can't say. I can only give it a try. After all, this child became like this because of Yu 'Er.”
Su Zhen smiled bitterly." There's no harm in giving it a try. But I'm afraid that he'll take the opportunity to ask me for that thing. Should I give it to him or not?"”
Shui Qing trembled and lowered her head. Looking at Ding Yuan's serene face, she gritted her teeth and said,"Then give it to him! In any case, you and I won't be able to understand the profundity of it in the past sixty years, so why don't we give it to him? He was an upright person. Even if he could really get that thing, it would be a blessing for the Heavenly Continent.”
Su Zhen looked at his wife's determined expression. After a long while, he nodded heavily and said,"Alright, let's go to Emerald Cloud Mountain now. However, I won't give that thing to Dan Yi so easily even if he wants it!”
Su Zhiyu listened to her parents 'conversation and quietly lowered her head to look at Ding Yuan."Brother Ding, hold on a little longer. You will definitely survive!”
A teardrop fell silently on Ding Yuan's face.
