Chapter 180 Death Imminent! Xia Liangqing
Xia Yuhui's physical strength was terrifying. Although Xia Yuhui held back his strength, the two of them were still knocked hard and winced.
"Clan leader! Clan leader!" the two said in unison.
"If you're going to guard the mountain gate, then guard it well." After saying that, Xia Yuhui rode Lion Rock Roar slowly into the mountain.
When Xia Yuhui was there, the two were very respectful. After he left, they started chatting again. "Wow, the clan leader's mount is so majestic. I wonder if I will ever have the chance to own such a ferocious beast in my life."
Xia Liang said, "You wish! If such a monster were released into our Maple Spirit Mountain, then apart from the clan leader, no one in our family would be a match for it. You think you can possess it? Keep dreaming!"
Xia Liangshi immediately became unhappy upon hearing this, glared at Xia Liangdao, and finally muttered, "What's wrong with daydreaming? What if it comes true?"
After many years, Lingfeng Mountain is still covered with maple trees, with clear waters and beautiful scenery, just like a beautiful painting.
However, Xia Yuhui had no time to appreciate the picturesque scenery. He was extremely anxious and rushed to find a member of his tribe to inquire about Xia Qiu's whereabouts. He then hurried there without stopping.
Before long, he arrived outside Xia Qiu's house. After greeting the two cultivators who opened the door, Xia Yuhui rushed into the house like a gust of wind.
Inside the room lay Xia Qiu, her face as pale as paper, her body emaciated, and her whole body radiating black energy. Upon seeing this, Xia Yuhui's eyes instantly turned red, as if they were being burned by fire.
He quickly arrived at Xia Qiu's side, then mobilized all his magical power to carefully examine Xia Qiu's physical condition like a detective.
Upon learning of Xia Qiu's physical condition, Xia Yuhui's face instantly turned ashen, and a surge of despair welled up within him.
At this time, Xia Qiu's internal organs, tendons, and bones had already been eroded beyond recognition by the ghostly energy. Although the Xia family managed to stop the ghostly energy from spreading further with the help of medicine, it was probably too late to reverse the situation.
Xia Yuhui was extremely anxious. He quickly activated his crimson lightning, which poured directly into Xia Qiu's body like a surging torrent.
The crimson lightning had long since merged with Xia Yuhui's magic power and flesh. Although it was ruthless and merciless to its enemies, under Xia Yuhui's skillful control, it became gentle and tender as soon as it entered Xia Qiu's body, quickly clearing away all the ghostly energy within Xia Qiu's body.
As the ghostly energy dissipated from Xia Qiu's body, Xia Qiu's originally pale face miraculously regained some color, no longer appearing pale and bony.
After clearing away the ghostly energy, Xia Yuhui used the Undying True Thunder Technique to gently nourish Xia Qiu's internal organs, just like a spring breeze.
After doing all this, Xia Yuhui sat down quietly to the side.
Two hours later, Xia Qiu finally slowly opened his eyes from the bed. When he opened his eyes, he saw his elder brother sitting to the side with his eyes closed, resting.
He was slightly startled and instinctively wanted to stand up and bow. However, Xia Yuhui seemed to have a telepathic connection with him and immediately noticed his movement. She quickly reached out and gently pressed him back down, thus preventing Xia Qiu from being seriously injured.
"Brother, you've finally arrived." Xia Qiu uttered these five words weakly, as if a candle were flickering in the wind.
Upon seeing Xia Yuhui, he was overjoyed, and the pain in his body was instantly forgotten. However, when he opened his mouth, he felt an excruciating pain, as if a thousand arrows were piercing his heart, and as if a million ants were ravaging and gnawing at his body.
At this moment, his mind was spinning, as if he had been in another world. He felt as if he had been asleep for a thousand years, and most of his memories were gradually receding like the tide.
"Xia Qiu, it's my fault for harming you. Judging from the current situation, you probably only have two more months to live," Xia Yuhui said painfully, his heart breaking.
He was filled with remorse, regretting that he hadn't brought Xia Qiu to Lingfeng Mountain. He had always been mindful of the so-called difference between immortals and mortals. At the same time, he hated the Ghost Taoist even more, hating him for being so heartless and cruel as to kill mortals.
“Brother, please don’t say that. I have relied on you for my whole life, which allowed me to spend these romantic years. Now that my time is coming, I can die with a smile on my face.”
"Ah! Don't worry, I have found out the truth about the person who attacked my Xiliu Village. I will go and seek revenge on him in a moment, to avenge the blood feud of thousands of mortals in my Xia family."
Xia Qiu nodded slightly. He knew that his brother would never fight a battle unprepared. If he said he could take revenge, then he would definitely succeed and return safely.
"Brother, I wonder how many days have passed since I fell into this deep sleep?"
Xia Yuhui frowned, looking puzzled. After silently considering the matter for a moment, he replied, "It has been more than two months."
Upon hearing that more than two months had passed, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Xia Qiu's eyes, like rain after a long drought, or a shooting star streaking across the dark night. "Brother, shouldn't it be time to examine the spiritual roots of my two sons and grandsons? Do they have spiritual roots?"
"Oh, you, even in this state, you're still thinking about these things."
"I have only recently returned to the family and am unaware of this matter yet. However, you can rest assured that if any of your descendants possess spiritual roots, I will keep them by my side and carefully supervise their cultivation."
"Then thank you very much, brother. To be honest, although I am living a fulfilling life in this mortal world, I always think about the matter of cultivating immortality. Every time the night is quiet, my thoughts run wild. I always wonder, why doesn't Heaven grant me spiritual roots? Why is it treating me so poorly?"
"But now that I think about it, I'm at peace with it. Only one in millions of people possesses spiritual roots. How could I possibly aspire to be more outstanding than those millions? In the end, I'm just content to be an ordinary person."
Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, two clear footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Don't worry, your youngest son already possesses spiritual roots, and he's even a gifted triple spiritual root." Xia Guangchang walked in from outside, holding the hand of a beautifully sculpted little boy.
"Father!" As soon as the child saw Xia Qiu lying on the bed, he couldn't wait to break free from Xia Guangchang's hand and ran over as quickly as a happy little deer.
Fearing that he might hurt Xia Qiu, Xia Yuhui quickly used her magic to gently pull him over and then carefully held him in her arms.
"What? Qing'er has a spiritual root! Cough cough!" Xia Qiu hadn't taken this matter to heart, but upon hearing that his youngest son possessed a spiritual root, his face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. However, due to his extremely weak body, he immediately began to cough violently, even coughing up blood.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui dared not delay in the slightest and immediately activated his magic power, slowly injecting it into Xia Qiu's body like a trickle to stabilize his fragile internal organs.
"Do not get too excited, lest you aggravate the injury." After saying this, Xia Guangchang took out a crystal-clear jade plate from his storage bag and gently placed Xia Qing's chubby little hand in the jade plate.
After Xia Guangchang infused a powerful magical force into the jade plate, it instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, like a brilliant star in the night sky, shimmering with three bright lights. Three characters slowly appeared on the jade plate: Fire, Earth, and Wood.
