Chapter 119 The Backlash of Extreme Cold, the Immortal Venerable's Wrath and Decision
Lu Yuan's figure flashed. One second he was in the yard, the next he was standing on the living room carpet.
The air temperature dropped below freezing. A thick layer of white frost covered the surface of the leather sofa, and the leather fibers made a soft crackling sound due to the extreme cold.
Lu Qingxue was curled up in the corner of the sofa. Her clothes were covered in a hard, icy shell. Icicles hung from her eyebrows and hair, and her small face had a deathly bluish-purple hue.
The girl didn't even have the strength to tremble. Only the faint rise and fall of her chest proved that she was still alive.
Lu Yuan reached out and pressed his hand against his sister's forehead.
The moment his fingertips touched his skin, an overwhelmingly cold aura surged through his fingers and into his meridians. That chilling aura, with a ferocious, tearing quality, attempted to freeze the true energy within his body.
This is not a pathological reaction on Earth at all. This is the original cold poison of the Nine Yin Mystic Meridian.
The surge of spiritual energy triggered by the eruption of the Western Mountain spiritual veins acted as a catalyst. Coupled with the forced activation of the remaining medicinal power of the flawed Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, the cold poison within this girl's body went completely berserk.
Lu Yuan tightened his knuckles. The bone was pressed against a thin layer of skin.
The true essence of a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage alone is not enough to suppress it.
Forcibly using Mahayana-stage divine sense to cleanse her would only cause her fragile mortal meridians to burst.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes. The golden ocean deep within his sea of consciousness began to churn.
Forcibly summoning the phantom of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron will instantly drain one-third of the body's spiritual power. Now, the hyenas from the Bauhinia family in the capital are watching this place, and such a significant loss of spiritual power is definitely not a good sign. If those people possess a powerful weapon, trouble is brewing.
But there was no other choice.
"凝 (Ning)."
An ancient syllable rolled out of Lu Yuan's throat.
A palm-sized, three-legged bronze cauldron phantom emerged from between his brows and hovered above Lu Qingxue's forehead.
The cauldron was shrouded in wisps of yellowish-brown mist. That was the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang, capable of suppressing the fortunes of all things.
The primordial energy transformed into countless strands, entering Lu Qingxue's body through her seven orifices. The violent cold poison, upon encountering the primordial energy, retreated swiftly into the depths of her dantian, like a mouse encountering a cat.
Lu Yuan's face paled slightly. The true essence in his dantian was being pumped away like water.
It was at this time that...
A dull creaking sound of iron chains scraping came from the deepest part of his mind.
The black chain phantom solidified slightly. The curse aura of the Heavenly Dao Life-Stealing Curse spread along the meridians, attempting to slip in through the opening.
Lu Yuan clenched his back teeth tightly. A distinct, metallic taste of blood filled his mouth.
"You nine old geezers, once I return to the Immortal Realm, the first thing I'll do is rip your skulls off and use them as chamber pots," he cursed inwardly.
Ten minutes later.
The illusory image of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron exhausted its energy and dissipated into the air.
The icy shell on Lu Qingxue's body melted into water. Her breathing became steady again, and some color returned to her cheeks.
Lu Yuan withdrew his hand.
While suppressing the cold poison, he sensed a trace of an ancient star totem, not belonging to Earth, deep within his sister's blood. The patterns on that totem shared a strange sense of origin with the array patterns on the mysterious bronze plate he had seen in Youmingzi's memories.
This girl's Nine Yin Profound Meridian has a more complex origin than you might think.
The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The first layer of seal has already been broken, and the next eruption will only be more violent.
We must go to the East Sea Ruins Secret Realm to extract the Extreme Flame Dragon Marrow in order to completely neutralize the cold poison in her body.
Lu Yuan carried his younger sister back to the bedroom and covered her with a blanket.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
A deafening roar came from the sky outside the window.
The strong wind pressed the weeds in the yard flat against the ground. A black military helicopter hovered over Panlong Mountain, its searchlight casting a blinding beam of light, fixed on the gate of Villa No. 1.
The helicopter's side door opened. Two men in black tactical uniforms rappelled down a rope into the yard.
They held out extravagantly designed silver firearms, their muzzles crackling with eerie blue arcs of electricity.
Lu Yuan pushed open the door and walked out.
He's in a very bad mood right now. Extremely bad.
Those ants had better give him a reason not to kill.
