Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Ethereal Void Beyond the Heaven (Part 5)

It seemed that the whole world was about to collapse in the midst of the earth-shattering collapse.

Tightening his arms to protect Qi Shuangran, Si Cang Qing used all his strength, and after several thrilling 

and barely dodging the falling rocks, he finally combined the internal strength of the two of them, blasted 

the previous gap in the chaos, and escaped from the sealed house.

However, after escaping from this heavy iron enclosure, he fell into another trap.

The Heze Poison Forest was originally a large area of ​​hills and swamps, but now the entire ground was rotating 

and sinking, and the small hills in the southwest also began to collapse. In addition to the deafening roar 

of the rocks, there was also a huge explosion underground.

Was the Misty Pavilion a thousand years ago so powerful? In this era of cold weapons, they actually knew how 

to use explosives, although the power was far less than that of modern gunpowder. However, this alone 

was enough to shake the world in a world that relied on brute force and weapons.

The final mechanism... is it the complete destruction of the entire Tianwai Tian?

It was getting lower and lower here, and the rocks and water rushed down. When they were unable to react, 

the water rushed down from top to bottom, and Si Cang Qing and the other person were swept away by 

the water mixed with rocks and sand, and their bodies could not resist at all.

Si Cang Qing had already lost all feeling due to the pain all over his body, and could only try his best to 

stay awake.

"Qingqing..."

Amid the roar of the rocks and waterfalls, Qi Shuangran's voice floated weakly into Si Cang Qing's ears, 

"There is an escape route in the northeast corner..."

A torrent came head on, and the two people were almost washed away. Mud, water and sand entered their 

bodies, mouths and ears. Qi Shuangran was stiff all over, and the hand holding Si Cang Qing's shoulder suddenly 

tightened. He rested for a while, and then spoke with difficulty: "We must lead the way upstream, only by 

combining our skills..."

"Practice Lingyuan  together."

Their internal skills are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. If the two have the same spirit and 

the same blood, they can merge their powers into one, and their strength will increase sharply in a short period 

of time, so that they can get emergency treatment in a critical moment. This was the last way for the two elders 

of Piaomiao Pavilion to save themselves, in order to prevent an irresistible crisis one day. If they practiced 

their spiritual essence together and combined them into one, they would maximize their abilities and potentials 

and get emergency treatment in time. However, practicing their spiritual essence together consumes a lot 

of physical strength. If the two are not firm enough in mind and their spiritual essence cannot be integrated, it is 

very likely to backfire, and both will have their blood and qi reversed and their muscles burst and die.

At this moment, this is a choice with no other options.

There was no time for hesitation; Si Cang Qing could only exert all his strength to avoid the impact of the rapids 

as much as possible while quickly unblocking their blood vessels and pressing closely together.

The two people's blood vessels and spiritual connections synchronized, and the residual internal energy and true 

qi within them surged forth—thus unleashing all their power. Gradually, their spiritual essences began to merge. 

With the advantage of Si Cang Qing's better condition, a tremendous force erupted outward in an instant, 

temporarily adding a protective barrier for the two.

During their joint cultivation, Si Cang Qing slowly guided their bodies, using the swift current to redirect them 

towards the northeast corner. Originally, it was quite difficult, as there was almost no support under their feet, but 

later, the two gradually swam upstream in the planned direction.

Not knowing where they had ended up, Si Cang Qing clearly felt the sudden change in the water flow around 

them; they were being swept into a massive whirlpool.

Ignoring the milestones, turning a blind eye to the warnings.

Lingyuan fellow practitioners, the two have already arrived at the realm of heaven and earth.

"Qingdi! Qingdi!"

The urgent call by his ear was an unreserved expression of concern. Si Cang Qing suddenly opened his eyes, 

and a grayish mist filled his vision, slowly revealing Qi Ping Tian's slightly haggard face.

Somewhat dazed, Si Cang Qing's mind gradually became clearer.

The person who had worried him for several days finally opened his eyes. Qiu Ping Tian, unable to catch his 

breath, suddenly bent down and fiercely hugged Si Cang Qing, but the moment he embraced him, his grip 

instantly softened.

"Qing Di..."

A soft call, like a long sigh, lingers by the ear, stretching far and wide, filled with sorrow, panic, and fear.

"Qiu..." Si Cang Qing opened his mouth with difficulty, a dry, hoarse sound escaping from his throat like a fire.

Qiu Ping Tian did not respond, merely maintaining his original posture, his arms gradually tightening, cautiously 

yet unwaveringly holding this person in a state of utter disarray in his embrace.

Si Cang Qing lay quietly, feeling exhausted all over, with most parts of his body now feeling fiery and a dull pain 

in his bones. His mind, however, was completely clear. He opened his eyes and silently allowed the person lying 

on him to tighten their arms. Now, every injury on his body, with just a slight touch, can drive him crazy with pain.

With lips lightly pressed together, as if that could suppress the bone-deep pain, Si Cang Qing's eyes 

unconsciously fixed on the few strands of messy hair that Qiu Ping Tian had slightly raised, trembling nervously 

in front of him, occasionally brushing against his face.

This silent embrace seems to last a century.

Qiu Ping Tian suddenly left Si Cang Qing's body, his arms propped on either side, hovering above him, his gaze 

deeply fixed on the other. After a long while, the corners of his lips slightly curled up, "Qing Di, welcome back."

Si Cang Qing quietly watched Qi Ping Tian, who seemed to have regained a calm expression, opened his dry 

lips, and hoarsely asked, "How is the situation?"

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palaces◇

"Qing Di," Qiu Ping Tian sighed heavily, raising a hand as if to caress the other person's cheek, but it lingered in 

the air before being reluctantly lowered. He said, "You just need to rest."

After a moment of eye contact, Si Cang Qing slowly lowered his gaze and said softly, "Qiu, I'm thirsty."

Qiu Ping Tian was slightly taken aback, then immediately smiled, his tone gentle, "It was my oversight." Saying 

this, he straightened up, reached for the prepared celadon bowl, and the delicate steam and faint aroma wafted 

gently.

Taking a small sip of water, Qiuping Tian bent down, her lips gently touching Si Cang Qing's mouth, moistening 

his lips bit by bit with water, and then carefully using her tongue to transfer the water into his mouth.

Repeating this, it actually took a whole fifteen minutes to finish a bowl of water.

"Qing di, you are seriously injured," Qiuping Tian sighed, lowering his eyelids to hide the rage and coldness 

gathering in his eyes. His words were gentle and soft, "So please don't move around too much in the next 

couple of days, you won't be able to handle it."

Si Cang Qing was silent. He didn't need anyone to tell him about his physical condition, he knew it very well in 

his heart - it had never been so bad before! Fortunately, although he was seriously injured, his roots were not 

damaged, and the internal injuries were much lighter than the external injuries.

But he would have to lie in bed for several days!

This time, he miscalculated - but it was not because of carelessness, but because he really underestimated 

the formation of Piaomiao Pavilion, and was attacked by the person who was always calculating, and... He really 

didn't expect that the secret hidden in Tianwaitian was a dried corpse-like person, or a Gu person. I thought that 

the most vicious Gu in the world was the Duan Qing Gu, but it only lived in the human body, and the most 

powerful was just the integration of Gu and people. And the living Gu...

In that case, it turned the person into a Gu!

Before the mysterious man left, Qi Shuangran said that it was the dried corpse of Qiang Renzhi? It turned out that 

Qiang Renzhi, the master of Piaomiao Pavilion, was not executed, but turned into a Gu person.

The twists and turns in this, it seems that Qi Shuangran found the answer during the days when he was trapped...

Si Cang Qing asked Xiang Qiu Ping Tian, "How is Qi Shuangran?"

Sighing, Qiu Ping Tian complained slightly, glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "I told you that you just 

need to rest now, why are you still asking questions!" Seeing Si Cang Qing's eyes full of deep thought, he said 

helplessly, "He is unconscious, but his life is not in danger, but he is seriously injured. The leg..."

Si Cang Qing looked at Qiu Ping Tian's hesitant expression, waiting for him to continue, and heard, "The injury 

on the leg is the most serious, some of the injuries are to the tendons and bones, and he may be... disabled."

Leg injury? Si Cang Qing was slightly confused. He didn't remember Qi Shuangran having any serious injuries on 

his legs. Although in the turbulent rocks, with Qi Shuangran's weakness, the injuries must be more serious than his 

own, but...

"A large piece of his leg was cut off, and the bones were exposed." Qiu Ping Tian said, frowning slightly, sighing, 

"What a pity."

The arrogant and arrogant Seventh Master might become a crippled man with limited mobility. With that man's 

arrogance, how could he accept such a reality? 

But maybe, there is still hope!

Si Cang Qing no longer pressed for answers; it seemed that Qi Shuangran's leg injury had already occurred 

before his departure, which is why Qi Shuangran couldn't use any martial arts in the secret chamber. Many things, 

he hadn't figured out. It seems that only when his injuries improved and when Qi Shuangran woke up could 

he understand everything about Tianwai Tian and... the secrets of Qiang Renzi!

"Qing Di," Qiu Ping Tian interrupted his thoughts, speaking softly, "Take your medicine, then have some plain 

porridge..."

Qiu Ping Tian, who had never served anyone before, was naturally not as swift as Feng Lan, but he was also 

very meticulous and attentive. Just like before when he drank water, he carefully fed the medicinal soup and 

plain porridge into Si Cang Qing's mouth, bit by bit, to avoid touching the wound as much as possible.

"Qing Di," after finishing the porridge, Qiuping Tian smiled and brushed aside the few strands of hair sticking 

to Si Cang Qing's face, "You should sleep a bit more!"

"Mm."

Si Cang Qing didn't think much about it either. After replenishing his energy, he realized he was utterly 

exhausted, and his eyelids felt unusually heavy. Other matters, he believed, Qiu Ping Tian could handle well. 

Closing his eyes, just as he was about to fall into a deep, dark dream, he softly instructed, "Qiu, take a rest!"

Before he could think, Si Cang Qing fell into a deep, dark sleep.

Listening to that extremely weak whisper, carrying a sense of helpless concern, Qiu Ping Tian stood frozen, not 

moving, staring at the extremely weak person on the bed. In a place where no one could see, the rims of his 

eyes turned slightly red.

This person, since they met, has always been powerful, almost omnipotent. Nowadays, barely clinging to life, 

as if he could turn into a wisp of smoke and drift away with the wind at any moment.

The hand frozen at his side slowly clenched.

The mastermind behind all this actually almost caused this person to lose their life...

Unforgivable!

Qiu Ping Tian suddenly stood up, picked up a piece of tattered silk cloth, spread it flat, and examined it closely

—this was something discovered between Qi Shuangran's clothes when Si Cang Qing and Qi Shuangran 

were found. It recorded the grievances and grudges of Piaomiao Pavilion from back then.

Qiu Ping Tian suddenly walked to the window and saw a shadow passing by. It turned out to be Feng Xiang, 

who had also been left outside the Heze Poison Forest by Si Cang Qing, just in case he needed to provide 

support.

"Your Highness," Feng Xiang said softly, "the master's teacher has arrived."
