Chapter 525 - 319: Purging Demons
It looked like a massive amount of cyan light had simply gathered to form a shield-like object.
But only Yang An knew that light was formed by the condensation of countless particles.
In other words, each particle was actually a Spiritual Light Net, miniaturized to its absolute limit and fused with the Treasure Light Glaze Purification Technique.
On the surface, it was just a shield, the cyan light forming a Light Giant.
But in reality, it was formed from innumerable light particles.
This was also why He’s terrifying Purple Fire, capable of burning space itself, could not reach Yang An’s body.
Countless particles fused with the Treasure Light Glaze Purification Technique had easily deflected He’s Purple Fire.
But this had actually been a risky gamble. Yang An hadn’t been completely certain it would work, but it was the best option he had at the time. He just never expected it to be so effective.
Seeing that guy He lose his composure was the most Yang An could manage right now.
’He’s probably still rampaging around the Forbidden Land looking for me, isn’t he?’ He had really gotten some satisfying revenge on that guy.
The thought of He furiously venting his anger everywhere, unable to find him at all—the feeling was just incredibly satisfying.
However, the situation just now had been truly dangerous. Bow Lady’s reaction had been much slower, causing Yang An to escape Lower Hu only at the last second before He could grab him.
If he had been even a moment slower, He would have already caught him. Whether he would have been killed is one thing, but his fate would have been absolutely miserable.
After returning to the shallow layer of the Gray World, Yang An sensed that something was wrong.
Although he had guessed that Bow Lady would be severely weakened after releasing all of her soul, he now had a very bad feeling.
"Bow Lady?"
He tried calling out to Bow Lady in his mind, but even after a long while, there was no response.
Yang An called out to her several more times, but the result was still dead silence.
He cut open the flesh of his chest and took out the Moon Talisman and the miniaturized bow.
The Moon Talisman lay quietly in his hand, the blood clinging to it retracting back into his body. But as he carefully sensed Bow Lady’s aura, he found it was faint to the point of extreme weakness.
It was like a person on their deathbed, with a breath as faint as a thread, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Yang An’s expression immediately grew grim.
’That Bow Lady... To keep me from worrying, she even told me to remember to compensate her with handsome men, using that to distract me.’
As a result, with his perception limited, Yang An had misjudged Bow Lady’s condition. Her situation had now reached an extremely critical stage.
And yet, even in that state, when Yang An faced He in Lower Hu, Bow Lady had used her last bit of strength to help him escape.
’Damn it!’
Yang An’s heart was instantly filled with grief, indignation, and guilt. He even felt the urge to return to Lower Hu and skin He alive.
But the idea was too unrealistic. Setting aside the fact that it was impossible, he couldn’t re-enter Lower Hu in Bow Lady’s current state anyway.
The urgent priority was to save Bow Lady. He absolutely could not stand by and watch her consciousness crumble and die completely!
Yang An thought of the Workshop Master. He immediately left the Xian Origin Land, returned to reality, and entered the Tree of Flesh and Blood to contact him.
The Workshop Master quickly responded, asking what had happened. Seeing Yang An in such a frantic state, his first thought was that something terrible had occurred with the Scripture Defector Association.
Yang An didn’t reveal what happened in the Xian Origin Land—that was his secret, after all. Instead, he made up an excuse about being injured by some mysterious entity, which had caused Bow Lady’s condition to worsen drastically.
He had long grown accustomed to Bow Lady’s presence. Moreover, she was in this state because she had taken the initiative to save him. No matter what, he had to save her.
"What? She released all of her soul?"
Hearing what had happened to Bow Lady, the Workshop Master’s reply was filled with surprise.
He had created this bow. As for why he had given it such an unpleasant name as "Vulgar Mouth Bow," it was because he had long known of its temperament.
But he never expected that Bow Lady would willingly give up all she had accumulated for Yang An’s sake.
For a moment, the Workshop Master didn’t know whether to say Bow Lady had changed her nature, or if the bow had been "trained" by Yang An to a point of perfect compatibility, leading to such a situation.
"Open the container’s portal and send me the bow along with the Moon Talisman. I’ll temporarily stabilize her aura so it doesn’t dissipate too quickly. But for now, there are no other options. You’ll have to find other souls to try and re-integrate into her body, to see if she can devour them and recover."
He hadn’t expected that the Workshop Master would have no immediate solution, but being able to stabilize Bow Lady’s collapsing aura was at least some good news.
"Can it be any kind of soul?"
Yang An asked immediately.
This was a task the Workshop Master had given him. To save Bow Lady, he had to do it.
"Naturally, the higher the Cultivation Level of the soul, the better. Demon Fiends will work too. Demon Fiends are creatures of extreme filth; they might have a surprisingly good effect.
I’ll send you a Magical Artifact that can temporarily preserve souls. You must be quick."
The Workshop Master said gravely, giving Yang An extremely detailed instructions.
"Okay!"
Yang An agreed without hesitation.
Soon, after sending the Moon Talisman and Bow Lady’s bow to the Workshop Master through the container’s portal, a Magical Artifact was sent back in return.
