Xianxia: My Disciples are Insane!

Chapter 517: You Cannot Succeed Without Going Through Hardship

“Fellow Daoist Ye, this is…”

Zhan Xianyi looked at Elder Wan, who was still in her twilight years.

Elder Wan, who was still extremely beautiful just a moment ago, suddenly turned white-haired.

And the beast who caused Elder Wan to become like this was this strange-looking beast in front of them.

This was too strange.

It was simply impossible to defend oneself against.

Could it be that he could suck away a person’s life force?

This was also the ultimate question that the others were pondering.

They had seen all kinds of demonic beasts that were bloodthirsty and who could absorb cultivation.

But it was the first time they had encountered one that could absorb life force.

After Huan Caiyi fed Elder Wan the Vitality Pill, Elder Wan regained a trace of her color.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, Elder Wan…”

She wanted to ask if there was any possibility of Elder Wan recovering.

Everyone loved to be beautiful.

Anyone who was in their prime would not be able to accept the fact that they had become like this.

Ye Changge went before the monster and pondered for a moment.

To be honest, he was not absolutely sure.

Apart from its transparent body, the other parts of the monster were no different from demon beasts.

What was special was its tube.

How did it absorb a person’s life force?

This was a little strange.

“Elder Wan, when you were attacked earlier, did you feel anything strange?”

Since they could not break through the monster’s body, they could only ask the person involved.

During this period, everyone did not let down their guard.

Although this monster appeared and disappeared mysteriously, its defenses were clearly not high.

Otherwise, it would not have been killed by a single palm strike.

Being able to silently absorb a person’s life force was already terrifying enough.

If its defense ability was also high, it would truly be invincible.

All living things were born with weaknesses.

No one was without flaws. Ye Changge believed in this unfailing law.

There was no absolute thing in the world.

If there was Yin energy, there would be Yang energy. If there was water, there would be fire. All living things followed the law.

Elder Wan shook her head. Her body was now extremely weak.

Not only was the vital essence in her body completely gone, even a simple movement was like traversing a chasm to her.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, is there really no other way?”

Seeing Ye Changge frown, Huan Caiyi’s expression became anxious.

Elder Wan also revealed a hint of despair.

If Ye Changge was powerless right now, she was probably really finished.

Rather than living till her last breath, she might as well die and be relieved.

She did not want to become a burden to everyone.

Ye Changge shook his head.

He really did not have a way to save her.

Maybe the way to save her was ahead of him.

But everyone knew that he was just comforting her.

Who could guarantee that there would be a way to save her?

Everyone’s mood was very gloomy.

Especially Miao Kexin. Her eyes turned red.

If she had not persisted, she would not have encountered such a problem.

She had even caused Elder Wan to suffer such a calamity.

She blamed herself very much.

Huan Caiyi said, “Xin ‘er, you don’t have to do this.

“No one wants this to happen.

“This was beyond our imagination. You don’t have to assume all the blame.”

This was the reason.

But if she insisted on coming here, would such a thing still happen?

Huan Caiyi also knew that she was stubborn, so she did not try to persuade him.

She knew that if Elder Wan could not recover, this responsibility would be shouldered by Miao Kexin alone.

No one could help her.

The medicine could heal the wound, but the heart could not be healed.

That was exactly what they were talking about.

But at this time, Elder Wan was sobbing, as if she had something to say.

Huan Caiyi immediately injected the vital essence into her body, making her feel a bit more relaxed.

Only then did her voice become much clearer, but it was still very soft.

Soul undulation.

Ye Changge muttered.

When Elder Wan was attacked, her soul undulated a few times.

But what did this have to do with the loss of her lifespan.

The others were also puzzled.

The two were completely unrelated.

“Fellow Daoist Ye, what plan do you have?”

The few of them looked at each other, unable to come up with a solution.

Ye Changge was also pondering over the key point.

Just as the few elders had said, the soul represented a person’s essence, qi, and spirit.

Wait a minute, essence, qi, and spirit.

There was an ancient saying that if a person fought for a breath, an enlightened person fought for an incense stick.

If it represented that a person’s spirit was extracted, it would also affect a person’s lifespan greatly.

Could this be the reason?

Seeing Ye Changge’s expression disappear, Huan Caiyi said, “Fellow Daoist Ye, you’ve found a way.”

“I do have some clues, but we’ll know after we try.”

Ye Changge stretched out his hand and placed it on Elder Wan’s head.

The power of void in his body circulated.

Soon, the reason was found.

Elder Wan’s soul power was dimming, and her origin was almost dry.

This could be the reason why her lifespan had decreased.

Hearing Ye Changge’s explanation, Zhan Xianyi looked at the monster under her feet and said, “Elder Wan, what happened to your soul power?”.

“If that’s the case, where did Elder Wan’s soul power go?”

It could not be said that the monster had absorbed it, right?

The spiritual energy of a Sage Heaven Realm was so immense that it was impossible for all of it to be completely absorbed in such a short time.

Moreover, everything had a refining process.

It did not have time either.

Could it be that there was more than one monster, and there was also the existence of a parent body?

This was the only explanation.

The soul origin that these monsters absorbed was transferred to them by some unknown method. It was just a being that was used as a laborer.

The cultivators were their targets. Then, they would absorb the power of the divine soul and use special methods to move it away.

And the one they had encountered was just a coincidence.

As they went deeper, they would encounter more monsters.

Ye Changge nodded.

When they received a response, everyone’s expressions were very grave.

Just one was enough to make them fall for the trick. If there were more than ten, there would be more than a hundred.

Moreover, this beast could turn invisible, making it difficult for people to guard themselves against it.

This was a hidden ghost killer.

But now there was no better way. If he wanted to solve Elder Wan’s health issues, he had to go into the tiger’s den alone.

You cannot succeed without going through some hardships first.
