Chapter 1778 Saving Her Life
Ruan Yu crushed the Qing Shen Dan (a type of pill) and scattered it into the air.
A short while later, the person who had fallen to the ground gradually regained consciousness. At this time, Jun Ran and the Tower Master had already entered the duel space.
Confused, they asked, "What just happened? Why did you suddenly faint?"
"I don't know, my head is splitting with a headache, did someone hit me?"
"Where is the Tower Master? And where are the guards? Am I dreaming? Did the Tower Master not actually come? That can't be, tonight is the night of the full moon, the Tower Master usually comes at this time..."
The snake woman and the moon bear are quite influential figures.
They stepped forward and asked, "Has anyone's cultivation level declined?"
"I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out, but now that you mention it, it's actually true!"
"My cultivation level hasn't improved for hundreds of years, and I clearly still have a long lifespan, so why has it suddenly decreased? I haven't suffered a cultivation deviation either!"
"My cultivation level has indeed declined, what happened?!"
The Moon Bear's voice was imbued with divine power, "It was the Tower Master who used the power of moonlight to devour our cultivation!"
The snake woman also said, "Anything with fire attributes... will be..."
After hearing what the snake woman and the moon bear said, everyone in the Demon Suppression Tower felt dizzy and lightheaded.
They simply couldn't believe that the tower master could be such a wicked person!
"How could this be! The Tower Master... the Tower Master wants to harm us!"
"Where is the tower master?"
Why did the tower master do this?
"Because the Tower Master wants to transfer our cultivation into his body!" the snake woman's voice was high-pitched.
But still, not many people believed her: "I don't believe it! The tower master couldn't possibly be that kind of person!"
"That's right. The tower master provides us with so many cultivation resources and ensures we have enough to eat and stay in. How could he be as bad as you say?"
"We want the tower master to say this to us in person!"
"Yes, we must trust the Tower Master!"
"You..." The snake woman was getting impatient with these people. She'd already explained everything, so why couldn't they understand?
"Enough, they're about to die, why stop them?" Ruan Yu comforted the snake woman.
Bathed in the power of the moonlight, these people's lifespans were numbered. Her Mind-Clearing Pill only temporarily restored their consciousness; it could not save their lives.
“Ruan Yu, Night Lord is no match for the Tower Master. I’ll take you away.”
Zi Chen flashed to Ruan Yu's side, his eyes filled with pleading.
Ruan Yu resolutely refused to leave. Jun Ran had not returned yet, and she would not leave alone. If she were to leave, she would not go with Zi Chen: "Give me back the Water Spirit Orb, and I will go with you."
"Okay." Zi Chen was genuinely anxious.
He genuinely cared about Ruan Yu, and without hesitation, he took out the Water Spirit Orb and handed it to her: "Can we go now?"
Ruan Yu: "?"
Water Spirit Orb... You got it so easily? Are you sure it's not fake?
Just as Ruan Yu was filled with doubt, a voice exploded in her mind.
"Master! I've missed you so much, waaaaah... You have no idea what kind of miserable life I've been living these past few days! Waaaaah..." Most of the water essence power within the Water Spirit Pearl's body had been stolen.
He was so weak that he could only communicate with Ruan Yu through the bond between them.
Seeing its pitiful appearance, Ruan Yu hurriedly put it into the cold spring water in the space to soak.
Cold spring water can restore some of the original source of water.
Seeing that Ruan Yu was standing still, Zi Chen simply reached out and took her hand.
"I want to wait for him to come out." But Ruan Yu avoided the question, saying, "You can go first."
Zi Chen felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, a dull pain shooting through him: "Night Lord... how long have you known him? And you love him so much? Trust him so much?"
He stubbornly walked up to Ruan Yu, saying, "I was the one who met you first."
As a man, he could certainly sense Jun Ran's hostility towards him.
He also liked Ruan Yu.
“You can help kill the tower master, then the crisis will be resolved, and we won’t have to flee in such a sorry state.” Ruan Yu slowly looked at Zi Chen.
She was eagerly awaiting his answer.
"..." Zi Chen deflated like a punctured balloon and stopped talking.
He realized that she didn't want to go with him at all.
Perhaps it was during his absence that Ye Zun found an opportunity.
A bitter smile appeared on Zi Chen's lips: "Fine, if you don't leave, I won't leave either."
Ruan Yu: "I thought you would agree to kill the tower master."
“The tower master has given me a second life, and I can’t possibly turn against him.”
Hearing this, the snake woman felt another pang of pain in her heart. Fortunately, she was already used to it, and numb to it: "I even saved your life, and you haven't been that kind to me. A cricket's life-saving act makes you this grateful?"
Zi Chen faced the snake woman and said, "I'm sorry. Once the Tower Master's great cause is completed, my life is yours to do with as you see fit."
"What would I do with your life? It's worthless." The snake woman shook the goosebumps off her body and walked away with obvious disgust.
She is very sensible.
Now that she knew that she held no importance in Zi Chen's heart.
Then she shouldn't like him anymore.
An unusual fluctuation was felt in the air.
The two emerged from the duel space. The tower master was in a sorry state, his luxurious clothes were torn to shreds, and he was covered in blood, a truly shocking sight.
Jun Ran didn't fare well either; he even ended up with bruises on his face.
"Night Lord!" Ruan Yuxin felt a pang of pain and rushed over to support him. She placed one hand on his back and channeled her divine power into Jun Ran's body to heal his injuries.
"With the power of the moonlight, I am no match for him," Jun Ran said, panting heavily.
"But if we fight with all our might, we might as well fight." With that, he charged forward again.
Ruan Yu held him down tightly: "I'll do it."
She didn't have the habit of hiding behind men.
"Ruan Yu!" Zi Chen shouted, his eyes wide. "Come back! You can't possibly defeat the Tower Master!"
"Overestimating yourself!" The tower master had been on guard against Jun Ran ever since he came out.
Of all the people present, he was only afraid of Jun Ran.
In his eyes, the rest of the people were no different from cannon fodder.
As expected, Ruan Yugang was suppressed by the tower master after only a few rounds.
Keep in mind that the tower master is currently in a state of serious injury.
It's unimaginable how powerful the Tower Master would have been at his peak.
"Master, we're here to help you!" Moon Bear roared, patted its chest, and charged toward the tower master.
"You're all alright!" The tower master was stunned for a moment. "And you even recognized a human as your master? Very good! Excellent!"
His face trembled with rage: "The bunch of beasts I raised have recognized someone else as their master!"
"In that case, you may all die!" A ferocious smile appeared on the tower master's face.
For some reason, Zi Chen lunged forward and blocked the fatal blow for Ruan Yu.
“Tower Master, you promised me... you wouldn’t hurt her.”
In that instant, his brain didn't even have time to think, but his body...
He only had a slight liking for her; it wasn't enough for him to sacrifice himself for her. So why would he risk his life to save her?
Zi Chen couldn't understand it.
Ruan Yu couldn't understand it even more.
