Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Revival of Withered Tree_1
The soul of Lv Yong also gently floated out of his corpse, a lost look on his face as he gazed at his surroundings. But when his gaze fell upon Brother Bao, finally his expression cleared.
Forget it, forget it, ten years ago, acting undercover, he had to betray Brother Bao for the sake of his duty and honor.
At that time, he had tried to persuade Brother Bao to surrender, promising to do everything he could to save his life.
Unfortunately, Brother Bao was the kind of man who would hold his ground to the end, steadfastly refusing to surrender, which eventually resulted in him being shot dead by the police.
He had felt guilty about it. But his duties hadn’t allowed him to make any other choices. Even if he could do it all over again, he would stick to his original decision.
He knew naturally enough, Brother Bao would harbor extreme resentment towards him. Today, his death didn’t feel regrettable, it was just unfortunate for his family.
"Lv Yong, your time in the yang world is up. Leave behind this life and follow me to the underworld!" The ethereal voice of the Messenger of Death rang out.
A complicated look on his face, Lv Yong gazed back at the world, sighed deeply, and slowly floated toward the Messenger of Death.
Qin Sisi was not sure if this Messenger of Death was one of those two people who have a fate and grudge with her, so she didn’t dare to speak. She just quietly stood aside and watched.
Though she couldn’t make out the Messenger of Death’s face, she could feel the Messenger’s gaze lightly sweeping over her.
However, the Messenger of Death didn’t linger. Seeing that Lv Yong had agreed to go to the underworld, he immediately turned around and floated forward, with Lv Yong’s soul closely following behind.
Qin Sisi knew their destination: the Land Temple.
The Messenger of Death is only responsible for escorting the soul to the Land Temple. The rest of the journey, like the road of the underworld and the Nostalgic Terrace, is for the soul to complete by itself.
Qin Sisi was somewhat relieved, that Brother Bao’s ghost was also there. Despite its physical form right now, the Messenger of Death should be able to perceive it. But he hadn’t questioned or challenged it.
She didn’t know if the Messenger was giving face to Qin Sisi, or simply not wanting to butt into other’s affairs.
At this point, Qin Sisi didn’t have time to ponder the Messenger’s intentions, she had more pressing matters to attend to.
Watching the Messenger of Death leading Lv Yong’s soul slowly vanish into the expansive night, Qin Sisi immediately turned to Brother Bao, "Are you reassured now?"
The soul had been taken away by the Messenger of Death, it should indeed be dead, right!
Brother Bao’s face showed satisfaction, as he raised his eyebrows and replied to Qin Sisi, "I am."
"Then please fulfill your promise." Qin Sisi urged Brother Bao again to offer up his Soul Power.
Brother Bao looked around and asked tentatively, "Little girl, what will you do if I don’t give you my Soul Power?"
Without waiting for Qin Sisi’s reply, Ye You suddenly made a move. A ball of purple flame rushed towards Brother Bao at an astonishing speed.
Brother Bao didn’t even have time to dodge. Before he could react, his whole form was enveloped by the purple flame.
Being burned is an especially painful sensation, not to mention that this is Divine Fire.
Even though Brother Bao is tough, he couldn’t stand the unbearable pain. He involuntarily howled in pain, begging for mercy.
Ye You just waved his hand casually, and the purple flame immediately left Brother Bao’s body, flying back into Ye You’s hand, where it vanished instantly.
Brother Bao, full of wounds, collapsed on the ground, moaning incessantly.
Qin Sisi’s eyes were icy as she coolly said, "Don’t test my patience. You should know the consequences."
Brother Bao was panting heavily, no longer having the mood or the guts to push his luck.
His wish was already fulfilled, so why should he seek the dead end of scattering his soul? Just a little more time, and there will always be an opportunity for rebirth.
Brother Bao reassured himself in his heart, then supported himself up with the help of a table, saying to Qin Sisi, "Alright. I am willing to give you my Soul Power, as a token of gratitude for you helping me fulfill my wish."
Upon hearing these words, Ye You immediately waved his claw and took out the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle slowly rotated, radiating a sanctified and mysterious silver light.
Brother Bao’s ghost gradually transformed into a cloud of gray-black smoke and floated into the Spirit Conversion Bottle. Even though there was a slight twist, he finally delivered on his promise.
Seeing that Brother Bao’s Soul Power was fully collected, Ye You immediately withdrew his claw, put the Spirit Conversion Bottle back into the Portable Space, and told Qin Sisi, "Notify Lan Di", before leaping in front of Lv Yong’s corpse to quickly channel the Magic Source, and concentrated a green glow over Lv Yong’s wounds with his claw.
Qin Sisi nodded, ran over to the cabinet, and took out the yellow paper Ye You had previously infused with Spiritual Power.
In the northwest corner of the room, Qin Sisi lit the yellow paper with Fire Magic. The flames spread and the ashes scattered.
But Lan Di didn’t appear, because this wasn’t a summoning, but a notification.
A Messenger of Death is only responsible for delivering souls to the Land Temple. There could be many variables on the journey from Land Temple to the Nostalgic Terrace.
Once at the Nostalgic Terrace, gazing at the homeland with no return.
Only when at the Nostalgic Terrace can a soul be considered completely disconnected from the body, and it can never return.
What Lan Di has to do is intercept Lv Yong’s soul on the way to the underworld and bring him back.
What Ye You needs to do is to heal Lv Yong’s damaged body as quickly as possible.
The green glow at Lv Yong’s heart flickered non-stop, repairing the wound caused by Brother Bao’s fruit knife.
Ning Hao couldn’t interfere in any way, he could only wait in the corner, quietly and anxiously.
After Qin Sisi burned the yellow paper, she returned to Ye You’s side, looking worriedly at him and Lv Yong.
But the look in Ye You’s eyes was getting heavier and heavier.
"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart.
Magic wasn’t omnipotent. To revive the dead was essentially against the laws of nature and extremely consuming of Spiritual Power.
Ye You, whose Magic Source was now damaged and his Spiritual Power severely restricted, found this task particularly challenging.
If it was just a stab wound, he would have a lot of confidence in treating it successfully.
But he hadn’t expected that Brother Bao would be so ruthless. The final twisting action had nearly shattered Lv Yong’s heart.
So now, Ye You needed to repair the whole heart. This was far more difficult than healing a stabbing wound. Plus, Lv Yong had lost a lot of blood and his physical function was very weak.
Ye You stopped using Magic Source for the moment and took out a healing pill, putting it into Lv Yong’s mouth, so that his body functions would not quickly fail. Then he continued to channel his Magic Source to heal Lv Yong’s wounds.
"Revival of Withered Tree!" Ye You murmured the name of the magic skill, once again concentrating a green glow over Lv Yong’s heart.
Qin Sisi was nervously staring at the green glow at Lv Yong’s heart. The green light was lush, like a sprout just emerging in the early spring.
Even though it looked frail, it radiated unlimited vitality. Just waiting for a sprinkle of rain and a gust of warm wind, the hills and fields would suddenly be teeming with life.
