Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: You Guys Should Care About Me Too, Wahhh

"No!" Ye Yanran cried out in agony, suddenly standing up and chanting loudly, casting the Heavenly Rain Divine Healing Technique.

Her entire mental state was poured into the chanting, and due to the excessive use of Divine Thought Power, her eyes were filled with blood threads, even the tears she shed carried a hint of red.

However, although the Heavenly Rain Divine Healing Technique was miraculous for healing, her mother’s condition was not just a simple injury but rather the depletion of her vitality, like a lamp running out of oil. Despite Ye Yanran’s utmost efforts, her mother’s body grew colder.

Beside her, Huayue and others looked at Ye Yanran sympathetically, wanting to console her but not knowing how to start.

"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, if I hadn’t been so confused back then, how would you have ended up like this." Xia Youchen, tears streaming down like an old man, muttered to himself self-reproachfully.

Mu Hanyan also felt a deep empathy; in this life, she hadn’t witnessed loved ones leaving before her, but in the previous life, her parents and brother died because of her. Having endured so much pain, she deeply sympathized with Ye Yanran’s sorrow at this time.

Her tear-filled gaze lingered on the blood pool at Yao Xinlan’s side. All the blood had coagulated into Blood Pearls, and then, as the Primordial Contract was broken, turned to dust, yet there seemed to remain faint golden star points at the bottom of the pool.

Suddenly, Mu Hanyan, with a spark of inspiration, quickly stepped forward and cut her wrist with a sword.

Blood gushed out, drop by drop, onto the wound on Yao Xinlan’s wrist.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the blood fell onto the wound, seeping into Yao Xinlan’s body as quickly as raindrops into desert soil. From the center of the wound, gentle golden light emanated, shimmering like evening glow.

Pure life essence gathered from all directions; Yao Xinlan’s ashen face gradually regained its rosiness, wrinkles slowly disappeared, and her white hair gradually turned black.

"Am I dead?" Yao Xinlan opened her eyes again and was shocked to see Ye Yanran, "Yanran, why are you here too, what happened, I clearly remember..."

She looked as if she had woken from a nightmare, not only was her appearance restored, but her body was brimming with vitality, healthier than most people.

"Mother, you’re alright, you’re really alright." Ye Yanran, finally awakening from a dream, embraced her mother joyfully.

"Han Yan!" Meanwhile, a voice filled with heartache came from Ye Lanfeng beside her.

Turning her head, she saw Mu Hanyan, pale-faced, tightly held in Ye Lanfeng’s arms.

Just now, to save Yao Xinlan, Mu Hanyan had let nearly one-third of her blood; if not for the support of a Great Sword Master’s strength, she wouldn’t have saved a life but sent herself to the netherworld.

Although her life was not in danger, losing so much blood at once left her dizzy, nearly fainting to the ground.

"Han Yan..." Ye Yanran left her mother’s side and knelt before Mu Hanyan.

Mu Hanyan quickly supported her, looking into her eyes, and said solemnly, "If you still consider me a friend, never do this again."

"Okay." Ye Yanran nodded forcefully, tears brimming in her eyes.

Looking at Mu Hanyan’s pale face, Ye Yanran said nothing more, but her resolve became even stronger: No matter who it is, no matter how powerful, wanting to hurt Mu Hanyan, they would have to step over her dead body!

"Han Yan, are you alright?" Huayue and others also gathered around, looking at Mu Hanyan with concern, while Xia Youchen was both worried and deeply grateful.

Knowing the truth of what happened years ago, he was full of regret for his past actions and felt a deep guilt towards Yao Xinlan and Ye Yanran; if it weren’t for Mu Hanyan saving Yao Xinlan today, he would never have forgiven himself.

"No big deal." Seeing the concern in their eyes, Mu Hanyan felt a slight warmth in her heart. Fearful of causing them worry, she immediately took out an elixir and took it, and soon her complexion regained its rosiness, putting Huayue and others at ease.

"Sigh, she hasn’t even fallen, and you are all so worried. I’ve been lying here for quite a while, and no one even cares to ask about me." Nearby, Qu Shanling’s hoarse and resentful voice sounded.

Only then did everyone notice that the old god-man was already lying on the ground; it was just that everyone was so concerned about Mu Hanyan’s safety that no one paid any attention to him.

Ye Yanran quickly stepped forward to help Qu Shanling up and gave him an elixir. Like Mu Hanyan, Ye Yanran always had elixirs on hand, although most of Mu Hanyan’s elixirs were self-refined. Where Ye Yanran’s came from was her own secret.

"I never thought your strange and mysterious arts could be so profoundly fascinating." Mu Hanyan also stepped forward, admiringly speaking to Qu Shanling, and Huayue and others shared her admiration.

When they first met Qu Shanling, everyone thought of him as a charlatan with an empty reputation, but later they realized this guy indeed had some real skills. Especially after Qu Shanling left Fang Town to follow Mu Hanyan, they felt an inexplicable depth in him, faced with this once old god-man.

"You don’t need to tease me. When my master taught me this hand formation back then, he said it was called the Heavenly Seal Divine Power Divine Prohibition Technique and could break the ancient contract technique. I thought he was joking. I’ve been in the field for so many years and never had the chance to use it until I saw the Primordial Contract earlier. Then I realized its similarity with what my master taught, tried it, and found out the hand formation was indeed this powerful. It’s a pity I didn’t learn it wholeheartedly back then, otherwise, I wouldn’t have struggled so much now." Qu Shanling replied with a bitter smile.

Mu Hanyan was again moved upon hearing this. Lu Guankong had taught Qu Shanling these hand formations and strange techniques, which generally weren’t put to use unless he encountered her. Techniques like the Heavenly Seal Divine Power Divine Prohibition, the Divine Summoning Technique, and the earlier Heavenly Star Seal Breaking Technique wouldn’t have had the chance to shine. But following her occasionally brought unexpected surprises.

This suggests that what Lu Guankong taught him was indeed related to her. What heavenly secrets had that mystical recluse unraveled, what was the purpose behind all his actions?

"By the way, should we open the Ancient Relics and have a look?" Qu Shanling asked excitedly.

With the collapse of the Primordial Contract, the palace regained its tranquility, standing quietly amidst the stone walls, yet making one feel it was more majestic than the towering stone cliffs.

"Maybe we should leave it alone, I saw those Sword Spirit Puppets earlier with such sinister aura and vicious methods; there’s probably nothing good hidden in those Ancient Relics." Jiang Yuzhe shook his head.

"That’s not necessarily the case; their sinister and vicious methods are their business, but the treasures concealed within the Ancient Relics might not be wicked. To miss out on them would be a pity." Zirong opposed.
