Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie knew that he and the Soul Hunting Hall were destined to be irreconcilable enemies.

He was already being targeted!

Once an organization like the Soul Hunting Hall targeted someone, they would never give up.

This meant that they would not rest until they had hunted his soul and origin!

Currently, he did not yet have the strength to contend with the Soul Hunting Hall.

With such a large organization, the actions of low-level soul hunters could not be dispatched by the main hall.

He carefully analyzed the situation.

It was highly likely that each branch hall acted independently, contacting the upper echelons after hunting their targets to offer up the hunted souls and origins.

"Hopefully, that's the case…"

Jun Wuxie's mood was heavy. What he worried about most was provoking soul hunters above the initial level. Those soul hunters' realms were too high, far beyond what he could currently deal with.

Furthermore, while they were targeting him, they had also noticed Yue Yao.

The reason he had killed all those soul hunters today was to anger them, to draw their attention to himself as much as possible, thereby causing them to overlook Yue Yao.

"You should recuperate well in the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. In a couple of days, I'll bring Yao'er to find you."

Upon reaching outside the capital city, Jun Wuxie said this.

Su Xiaoxiao, however, expressed that she did not want to go to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion and wanted to go directly to the Sect King Academy with Jun Wuxie.

She was very curious about that little girl named Yue Yao.

Jun Wuxie naturally would not refuse. This was for the best.

… …

Approaching Sect King Mountain, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dilapidated Sect King Academy and couldn't help but sigh, "Your sect is truly returning to simplicity."

She had never seen such a run-down sect…

Could this even be called a sect?

She couldn't even imagine that a sect could be like this.

Looking at the Sect King Academy before her, her mind couldn't help but conjure up the image of her own sect, which was like heaven and earth in comparison.

Her sect had palaces and halls, pavilions and terraces, strange peaks and odd ridges, floating islands, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Within the sect, even the roadside weeds could be used as basic materials to refine pills.

Around those mountain stream waterfalls, all kinds of spiritual essences grew, and even those over a thousand years old were commonly seen.

"Yes, this is what cultivators should pursue, being close to nature to comprehend the Great Dao."

Jun Wuxie looked at Su Xiaoxiao with an experienced air, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I suggest that after you return, you tell your sect master to move your Medicine King Sect here, to be close to nature and comprehend the heavens and earth, while we move to your current sect's location and live that superficial life."

"You big swindler!"

Su Xiaoxiao wrinkled her cute little nose, flicked her waist-length silver hair, and scolded, "You're so bad, you bad egg!"

"Wasn't it you who said 'returning to simplicity'? Isn't this realm what you pursue?"

Jun Wuxie teased. This little loli's phrase 'returning to simplicity' was clearly meant to be teasing, so he naturally had to tease back.

Even if his own sect was dilapidated, he couldn't remain silent and unprotesting when others teased it.

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you!"

Su Xiaoxiao skipped and jumped up the mountain.

At this time, Lingfei saw Jun Wuxie return and hurriedly greeted him, her expression solemn.

Jun Wuxie's heart sank, "Lingfei, what's the matter?"

"Yao'er's condition isn't very good. Her body is getting weaker and weaker. I used healing techniques to temporarily balance the energy in her body. She's asleep now, but I estimate she won't be able to hold on for too long…"

"Every ten days, Yan Qingcheng needs to forcibly suppress the fire poison and cold poison in her body! Some time ago, Yan Qingcheng was stationed in the trial grounds and saw that her illness hadn't flared up, so she probably didn't expend her true energy to perform a second suppression. Now, this fire poison and cold poison are about to erupt! It's all my fault, how could I have overlooked this matter!"

Jun Wuxie was incomparably remorseful and quickly rushed into the room, seeing Yue Yao lying on the bed with a pale face, curled up in the quilt, her small body trembling from time to time.

"Yao'er, Brother is back. The Medicine King Sect's Little Saintess has also come. You'll get better soon!"

He stroked Yue Yao's pale little face, his face full of heartache.

"Jun Wuxie, let me take a look."

Su Xiaoxiao came to the bedside, staring unblinkingly at Yue Yao on the bed.

Jun Wuxie nodded and gave her the space.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao reached out and grasped Yue Yao's wrist, strands of true energy flowing with an ancient aura permeating through her palm into Yue Yao's body, flowing along the meridians to her limbs and bones.

Jun Wuxie's mood was extremely tense, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao's pale face, he remembered that her injuries hadn't healed yet.

Immediately, he had Lingfei cast the Great Healing Technique to heal her injuries.

A word 'Heal' floated above Su Xiaoxiao's head, with pure life energy falling down, pouring into her body, making her feel that every cell in her body was full of vitality.

Moreover, it seemed that a dormant power within her was being awakened, slowly recovering under this life energy, breaking out of the soil!

She was incomparably shocked and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lingfei.

At this time, Lingfei also looked at her with surprised eyes.

Two beauties, one big and one small, looked at each other, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Su Xiaoxiao turned her head back, her gaze falling on Yue Yao's face.

Before, she had heard Su Lan say that this little girl had no heart, only a leaf replacing the function of the heart.

Now, she personally confirmed it!

Just as Su Lan had said, she had no heart, only a heart-shaped leaf, beating in the original location of the heart.

Moreover, her Primordial Beginning True Energy sensed an indescribable, vast energy within her flesh and blood!

It was just that those energies were in a dormant state, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep, making it difficult to awaken them!

This situation made her heart sink.

This was something she had not expected!

If it was just the absence of a heart, she would have a way to perfectly solve this problem!

But now, there was terrifying energy sleeping within Yue Yao's body.

She looked like an ordinary little girl, but the truth was not so.

The energy dormant in her body was too terrifying, causing her body to need extremely powerful life functions to maintain it.

Without a native heart, a leaf would naturally be difficult to sustain for long, which led to an imbalance of yin and yang in her body, giving rise to fire poison and cold poison.

In fact, this was not poison at all, but a sign of life declining, unable to bear the needs of the body, and about to reach its end!

Before coming, having cultivated the Primordial Beginning Nine Needles, she thought she could completely cure Yue Yao.

Now it seemed that it was very, very difficult…

"How is it? My sister's condition, are you confident?"

Jun Wuxie saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao released Yue Yao's wrist, looked at him with a solemn expression, and said, "There are some things I need to understand clearly. Let's go out and talk."

With that, she got up and walked outside.

Jun Wuxie looked at Yue Yao and then followed her out.

Su Lan and Lingfei also left the room.

In front of the stone table in the courtyard, they sat together.

Jun Wuxie looked at Su Xiaoxiao anxiously.

She was silent for a long time, until Jun Wuxie was about to lose his composure, and then solemnly said, "With this Lingfei sister here, we can work together to help Yue Yao reshape her heart, but the reshaped heart will inevitably not be comparable to her native heart, so even if the heart is reshaped, it can only be maintained for several decades…"

"You… what did you say?"

Jun Wuxie's face was pale, and he looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief, "Reshape her heart?"

"Yes, Yue Yao doesn't have a heart, so she has become like this…"

"No! Impossible!"

Jun Wuxie stood up abruptly, feeling darkness in front of his eyes, his body swaying, almost falling down.

"Yao'er… how could Yao'er not have a heart, are you mistaken?"

He couldn't accept this fact. How could Yao'er not have a heart?

How could a person survive without a heart?

"I'm not mistaken, she really doesn't have a heart…"

"Look again, look again!"

Jun Wuxie grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand and pulled her towards the house.

"Calm down!"

Su Xiaoxiao circulated her Primordial Beginning True Energy, wanting to shake off his hand.

Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, looking at Jun Wuxie in horror, her eyes full of disbelief.

"You… you…"

Her eyes were fixed on his chest, and then she suddenly broke free from him and retreated repeatedly.

"What's wrong with me?"

Jun Wuxie was startled by Su Xiaoxiao's reaction. That look was as if he was an unforgivable, terrifying demon.

"Your…"

"Xiaoxiao!"

Lingfei suddenly interrupted Su Xiaoxiao's words.

Jun Wuxie looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then at Lingfei, and frowned, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Young Master, no, don't overthink it…"

Lingfei quickly said.

"You still want to hide it from me now?"

Jun Wuxie was a little angry. Su Xiaoxiao and Lingfei seemed to know something, but Lingfei seemed unwilling to say it.
