Hell Emperor.

Chapter 328: Southern Spirit Crane - Deadline
Seeing that the situation was becoming tense again, Li Fei'e quickly advised the two, "Okay, everyone, please stop talking. Being able to reunite in this strange land is something worth celebrating. Don't let these arguments destroy the harmony among family members."

Xia Wei closed her eyes and said no more. Su Miao was still staring at Xia Wei with a strange look in her eyes.

Xia Wei was truly extraordinary as she dared to argue with the ghost immortals with her mortal body. Compared to her, even Ren Changhong's momentum was suppressed by her.

Su Miao glanced at everyone and could tell from the way they looked at Xia Wei that she was unusual. She seemed to be the focus of everyone's attention, which made her a little concerned. Sure enough, she was the person mentioned in Shen Qingge's letter.

"Forget it... I just wanted to meet you guys, but I didn't expect it to bring up the previous unpleasantness again."

Su Miao lifted her long hair, her face slightly cold, and she didn't want to talk about the past anymore.

At this moment, Shen Qingge seemed to remember something and took the initiative to look at Yao Yin who was waiting on the side:

"Master Yaoyin, one of my friends is now suffering from a soul collapse and is extremely weak. Ordinary means cannot cure her at all. If left alone, her condition will continue to deteriorate. You are the best at making elixirs, so I beg you to take out some elixirs to save her from this dire situation."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yin, who was yawning, suddenly perked up and said, "Bring her here so I can see her."

The arrival of the two masters of the Xuannv Sect also alarmed the maids in the wine country. Many of them were staying aside and watching quietly. When they heard this, they realized that the disintegrating Nan Linghe could be saved. They did not dare to delay and quickly led Bohe and Yunzhu to bring the depressed Nan Linghe out.

With his arms lifted by two people, Nan Linghe felt weak all over. Several shocking cracks appeared on his innocent face, which was a sign of the collapse of his soul. If it was not stopped, the situation would be even worse.

Seeing Nan Linghe's appearance, the family members were silent. Everyone felt uncomfortable. The backlash of soul collapse was so violent, and this was the price of using the Nether Spirit Divine Art.

Xia Wei looked gloomy and concerned. Nan Linghe had not participated in the previous discussions of her family members. It was not that she did not want to be involved, but she was deeply troubled by the collapse. She was extremely weak and was in a deep sleep all the time.

Su Miao took a quick glance and understood Nan Linghe's situation. She said in a cold voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the collapse of her body should be caused by the Nether Spirit Divine Art, right?"

Li Fei'e pursed her lips and stepped forward to ask, "Sister Su Miao, you are the best ghost messenger in the Netherworld Palace. You have far surpassed others in the Netherworld Divine Art. You are a genius that only appears once in a century. Since you can see the cause of Sister He's injury at a glance, you must have a way to make her recover, right?"

"If I were as good as you say, I wouldn't have been defeated in the competition."

Su Miao shook her head, looked at Nan Linghe, and sighed: "The Dark Spirit Divine Art is the most proud art of Grandmaster Ming Ji. How can the injuries it causes be so easy to recover? To use the Dark Spirit Divine Art, one must be prepared for the soul to collapse or even to be scattered. She ended up like this, only to blame the practitioner for not exercising restraint and overdrawing her soul. Now, I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left."

Due to the previous unpleasantness, Su Miao didn't know who had over-used the Nether Spirit Divine Art and turned her into this state, but she thought that person was very careless and didn't even realize the state of the Transformer. The accusation in his words was not concealed.

Li Fei'e lowered his head, his face full of self-blame: "It's all my fault... When I was fighting a strong enemy, I made Sister He transform into a ghostly magic weapon, which caused her to collapse... What if she can't recover from now on? I hope she's okay..."

"is it you……"

Su Miao felt helpless. After all this time, it turned out to be Li Fei'e's fault. No matter what, Li Fei'e was the contemporary descendant of Xuannv. As the master, she couldn't blame Li Fei'e. She could only look at Yao Yin who was standing aside:

"Now that things have come to this, you should find a way to help her. Sister Yaoyin, where is your Soul Summoning Pill? Just one pill can make her soul intact."

Seeing that Nan Linghe had hope of recovery, everyone was overjoyed. The soul-healing elixir was on Yao Yin and was now within reach.

Li Fei'e said excitedly, "That's great! Sister Yaoyin's elixir is really unique. With her elixir, Sister He can recover to her original state and won't have to worry about the collapse anymore!"

Hua Xiaomei also nodded repeatedly: "This alchemy method is quite extraordinary. It can even heal the injuries of soul collapse. It's a pity that I have poor qualifications and have no talent in alchemy. Otherwise, I would also like to learn this method."

Xie Xinyu was surprised. Unlike Hua Xiaomei, she had a natural ability and a far greater understanding of alchemy than ordinary people. She looked at Yao Yin and felt that he was unfathomable. "Soul-calling Pill? What kind of pill is that? And what level of alchemist is Yao Yin..."

Xia Wei smiled with relief. Ever since Nan Linghe's soul collapsed, she felt very uncomfortable, as if a huge rock was pressing on her. Now that she saw that Nan Linghe had a chance to recover, she was sincerely happy for her: "Sister He is really lucky. I really hope she recovers soon."

However, Yao Yin's answer soon poured a bucket of cold water on everyone, extinguishing the flames of joy in everyone:

"I'm sorry, judging by the severity of her disintegration, her soul will be completely gone in a month at the latest. If I can help her, I'd be happy to do so, but all the soul-healing pills I have are left in the Netherworld Palace for other ghosts in the palace. Now I don't have any."

Hearing this, everyone felt uneasy. Even Xia Wei felt an indescribable despair at this moment.

Knowing that Nan Linghe only had one month left before he would be completely destroyed, Xia Wei began to tremble, her face was uneasy, and silent panic spread in her heart.

"How long do you think Sister He has left?" Xia Wei didn't care about the etiquette when facing the ghost fairy. She rushed to Yao Yin and asked questions repeatedly.

Yao Yin sighed, knowing that Xia Wei was extremely anxious at the moment, and did not pursue her disrespect. Instead, he explained in great detail: "She can only hold on for a month at most. Over-activating the Nether Spirit Divine Art has overdrawn all the potential in her soul. Now she is completely exhausted. Ordinary means will not be able to make her recover at all..."

"how come……"

Hearing this, Xia Wei's body trembled, her feet were unstable, and she almost fell to the ground. This was almost impossible for her to do with her current cultivation level. One can imagine how shocked she was when she heard the news. It was Li Fei'e who was quick to help Xia Wei.

After supporting Xia Wei, Li Fei'e was also in great pain, and his words were also a bit tearful: "It's all my fault... It was me who used the Dark Spirit Divine Art that caused Sister He to collapse. Sister He, please don't leave us..."

Li Fei'e felt extremely heavy in her heart. Now she finally understood why Xia Wei was so sad when she saw Ye Jie's soul was torn away. It turned out that this feeling was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but shed tears.

At the side, Shen Qingge sighed. Even with her strong self-control, she felt uncomfortable when she heard the desperate news.

She originally thought that Nan Linghe was just suffering from the backlash of the collapse, and that she could maintain her weak status quo by resting for a few months. However, she never thought that the situation would be worse than she expected. If the collapse could not be suppressed, it would continue to spread until her soul was destroyed.

"Thanks to Master Yaoyin's reminder, we were able to learn of this result... If it weren't for Master Yaoyin, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark when the last moment came..."

Shen Qingge smiled bitterly and bowed respectfully to Yao Yin.

Xia Wei refused to accept this result: "No! I don't want this! Sister He, don't worry, before the deadline, no matter what I have to do, I will definitely find a way to make you recover!"

Facing the concern of the crowd, Nan Linghe, who was surrounded in the center, forced a calm smile and said, "I am very happy to be able to become a family with you all... My family didn't treat me well when I was alive, but this period after death is my happiest time."

Everyone was indifferent, and a silent atmosphere of sorrow completely enveloped the surroundings. Everyone looked extremely miserable.

At this time, Yao Yin was a little confused and said, "What are you talking about? Although I didn't bring my elixir with me, if you can find all the materials for refining the elixir, I can also refine the soul-healing elixir."

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone opened their mouths wide. Indeed, those soul-healing pills were made by Yao Yin himself. Compared with the pills, Yao Yin, the alchemist, was the most precious.

Xia Wei's face brightened, and then her eyes lit up, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, and she quickly asked, "What alchemy materials do you need?"

Yao Yin blinked and counted on his fingers, "Let me think... If you want to refine the soul-healing elixir, it's best to use thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, hundred-year-old Bodhi leaves, ten-foot-long earth dragon heart... and a bunch of common materials that can be bought in the market in ordinary immortal sects. As long as you can collect these materials, I can refine it."

Xia Wei silently wrote down the materials Yao Yin mentioned. Although Xia Wei had never heard of the names of some of the materials, she still said, "Don't worry, I will definitely collect all the materials."

After learning the news that Nan Linghe could be saved, everyone's tense expressions relaxed a little, but the deadline of one month was still like a sword hanging over their heads. If they couldn't collect all the materials before the deadline, they would most likely lose a vital family member.

At this time, Li Fei'e seemed to have thought of something and suggested, "By the way, Sister Su Miao, you just said that Grandmaster Ming Ji gave you a secret mission. What is that mission?"

Su Miao was speechless. She couldn't help but reach out her hand, pinched Li Fei'e's face and said, "Didn't I say it was a secret mission? If I tell you, how can it be a secret? But you, why do you care about this matter? Are you trying to spy on the secrets of the sect?"

Li Fei'e felt pain, but still said, "I'm just worried. What if I don't collect all the alchemy materials? Then Sister He will be hopeless. However, if you two sisters complete the task, we can return to the Nether Spirit Palace openly and get the elixir that Sister He needs. That's why I dare to ask. If you two sisters don't mind, I can help you complete the task."

Hearing this, everyone understood what Li Fei'e meant. Even Shen Qingge's eyes when she looked at Li Fei'e became different. Although Li Fei'e was always lively, willful and unruly on weekdays, when it came to a critical moment, she was also quite reliable and immediately thought of the key to the problem.

"Prepare for both situations... That's a good suggestion." Shen Qingge nodded and continued, following Li Fei'e's words, "Two Grandmasters, you can rest assured to tell us the mission. Everyone around me is trustworthy and will never reveal the secrets of the sect. If there is anything you need, just tell us and we will do our best to help you complete the mission."

Su Miao curled her lips, a little skeptical: "Trustworthy people? Are you really sure? Why do I feel that some of them are not trustworthy?"

In response, Shen Qingge simply said: "I swear as the 169th generation descendant of the Xuannv Sect that this is absolutely true. If anyone leaks the mission information, I am willing to give up my identity as the descendant of the Xuannv Sect."

Hearing this, Su Miao's pupils shrank. Shen Qingge used the title of Xuannv's descendant as a guarantee, which could be said to be quite weighty. No descendant of Xuannv would easily swear with this title. If there was the slightest mistake, she would lose everything in the Xuannv sect!
Everyone also heard Shen Qingge's words, and they were particularly touched at this moment. Although Shen Qingge usually looked aloof and unkind, he trusted his family in his heart, and even used the title of Xuannv's descendant as a guarantee for his family.

"Well... since you've said so, how can I, as your master, refuse?"

Su Miao shook her head and finally agreed. She did not shy away from telling others the task that the Lord of the Nether Spirit Palace had assigned her:

"Soon, the Vajra City ruins will be opened, and many immortals will gather there. A relic of my sect's founder is hidden in the Vajra City ruins. The task that Grandmother Mingji has given me is to enter the Vajra City ruins and take out the relic."

Hearing Su Miao's words, Hua Xiaomei was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but touch her chin: "King Kong City... Have I heard of the name of this city somewhere?"

This time it was Su Miao who was stunned. Seeing that Hua Xiaomei didn't seem to be lying, she asked, "Have you heard of King Kong City? Are you the ghost of the Golden Wheel Palace? Many of the artifacts and skills of the Golden Wheel Palace were excavated from the ruins of King Kong City."

Xia Wei reacted at this time: "The six senses are enlightened throughout the body, and the three realms are transformed into a diamond city... This is clearly the poem engraved on the golden wheel. There is a strange power in it. Even I, who can't read, can deeply understand its meaning."

After hearing what Xia Wei said, everyone suddenly realized that they had seen the golden wheel up close in the Vajra Temple before and had also seen the poems engraved on it.
