Realm of the Night God

With Yang Haoran's help, Xu Meijing's internal chaos caused by the backlash was sorted out, and she was relieved of a major hidden danger. Her breakthrough would be less troublesome without this hidden threat.

Yang Haoran could only help Xu Meijing sort out her internal chaos, but he couldn't assist her in breaking through. Whether Xu Meijing could break through and how long it would take depended solely on herself.

"Do you still have the elixir I gave you? If you've used it up, I have some more here," Yang Haoran asked, and Xu Meijing nodded slightly.

Yang Haoran wouldn't forget that Xu Meijing had the elixir. After obtaining various medicines from Feng Xiao, he had sent some to Xu Meijing, including the elixir.

In their current situation, both of their physical bodies had suffered certain injuries. Taking Feng Xiao's specially prepared medicinal pills would be extremely beneficial to them.

The two of them immediately took out the elixir and consumed the appropriate amount based on the severity of their injuries.

In comparison, Xu Meijing's injuries were not as severe as Yang Haoran's, so she only took one drop of the medicinal elixir. Yang Haoran's injuries were much more severe, so he took two drops.

The effects of Feng Xiao's elixir were immediate. After consuming the elixir, their injuries began to recover rapidly, with a speed that was several times faster than their physical bodies' natural recovery rate.

Yang Haoran's wounds didn't bleed fresh blood because he had used his Yin spirit power to temporarily seal them.

Xu Meijing was the same. Although she didn't have many external injuries, the internal injuries caused by the backlash were still very severe. After taking the elixir, her damaged internal organs began to recover rapidly.

Time passed minute by minute. Yang Haoran focused on recovering from his injuries and replenishing his consumed Yin spirit power, while Xu Meijing concentrated on breaking through.

During their previous battle, Yang Haoran had taken a soul pill, which still hadn't been fully absorbed when he brought Xu Meijing to the mountain cave. Therefore, he didn't take another soul pill after consuming the two drops of elixir.

An hour later, Yang Haoran's complexion gradually returned to normal, his power fluctuations increased, and his condition improved.

Xu Meijing's condition also underwent a significant change. Although her power fluctuations were still unstable and frequent, her face no longer showed signs of pain, replaced by a serious expression.

Everything was developing in a good direction. As long as they continued like this, Yang Haoran would recover to his peak state, and Xu Meijing would successfully open her earth soul. It was only a matter of time.

However, the great spirit master who was searching for them would definitely not want to see this happen.

The quiet mountain cave suddenly shook violently, and Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, who had enjoyed an hour of peace, simultaneously opened their eyes.

They didn't hear any loud noises because the mountain cave had a restriction barrier that blocked external sounds from entering.

The fact that the mountain cave was shaking violently could only mean that the mountain it was located in was under fierce attack, causing the entire mountain to tremble, and the mountain cave was no exception.

Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing didn't need to see it to know that the mountain was being attacked.

Yang Haoran stood up and pressed down on Xu Meijing, who was trying to stand up.

"You've just adjusted, so don't get involved. Let me handle the outside situation."

Xu Meijing looked up at Yang Haoran, seeing a faint smile on his face and a relaxed expression.

She knew that Yang Haoran's heart was not as calm as his face showed, because their opponent was not a spirit master, but a great spirit master. Although Yang Haoran was very powerful, the gap between him and a great spirit master was enormous, and the pressure in his heart was immense.

"You alone are definitely not his match."

Xu Meijing's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of worry as she spoke.

"Heh, I certainly know I'm not his match, but I'm not going to kill him. I just want to buy you more time."

Yang Haoran's face wore a habitual faint smile, and he spoke in a carefree tone.

Xu Meijing's eyebrows didn't relax due to Yang Haoran's words; instead, they furrowed even more tightly. She seemed to want to say something, but the cave suddenly shook more violently at that moment.

"This isn't the time to talk about this. You know my personality; I won't take the initiative to seek death. Since I've decided to do this, I must have my own considerations and plans, so you don't need to worry about me."

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, then stretched out his right hand to wipe the bloodstains from Xu Meijing's face.

Since some time had passed, the fresh blood on Xu Meijing's face had already dried, and ordinary methods wouldn't be able to wipe it clean. However, Yang Haoran's right hand, wrapped in Yin spirit power, easily wiped away the bloodstains.

Although the wiping wasn't very thorough, some areas still had residual bloodstains. However, compared to before, it was much better.

Xu Meijing quietly looked at Yang Haoran, saying nothing. She seemed to want to deeply imprint Yang Haoran's appearance in her mind.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. She focused all her attention on Yang Haoran and didn't notice that Yang Haoran's hand on her shoulder suddenly produced an escape talisman. T!h$is# v$ers$i.o^n was so!urc.ed f#rom M.|V!|^L#^$E*M%P$YR.$

"Don't worry, I'll break through everything!"

Yang Haoran smiled and spoke, but these words didn't sit well with Xu Meijing. She had said the same thing to Yang Haoran before, but now she not only hadn't done it but had also become a burden to Yang Haoran. This was a huge blow to her proud and arrogant self.

However, Yang Haoran suddenly slapped the escape talisman on Xu Meijing's shoulder at this moment.

The instant the talisman touched Xu Meijing's shoulder, Yang Haoran's body shifted to the side, creating some distance between them.

Yang Haoran's sudden movement made Xu Meijing's face change color. She was shocked and hadn't reacted yet when the escape talisman, driven by Yang Haoran, ignited on her body and instantly turned to ashes.

At the same time, the restriction barrier inside the cave rapidly contracted and shrank, treating Yang Haoran as nothing and directly passing through his body, only enclosing Xu Meijing within.

Xu Meijing realized something, and her expression suddenly became anxious. She wanted to say something to Yang Haoran, but before she could speak, the escape talisman's power took effect, forcibly pulling her into the ground.

Looking at the spot where Xu Meijing disappeared, Yang Haoran's face still wore a faint smile, but his smile had become somewhat forced.

Moreover, his eyes revealed a hint of hidden sadness that couldn't be concealed.

"You should continue to stay here, not only will it affect your breakthrough, but it will also make your situation extremely dangerous. Rather than letting you continue to stay here, it's better to let you leave, so I can be somewhat at ease."

Yang Haoran's mouth uttered a self-muttering voice, and as his words fell, a cold voice came from outside the cave.

"Are you going to come out and die, or do I need to invite you?"

This voice was not unfamiliar to Yang Haoran; it was the great spirit master's voice.

Yang Haoran shifted his gaze from the spot where Xu Meijing disappeared and looked towards the cave entrance.

He didn't hesitate at all, and his body flashed as he directly rushed out of the cave.

As he rushed out of the cave, he waved his hand and set up a defense, sealing the cave entrance.

Xu Meijing had already been transferred to another location by Yang Haoran using the escape talisman. Now that he had left the cave, the cave was naturally empty, and he had also consumed Yin spirit power to seal the cave, with the sole purpose of misleading the great spirit master.

Just now, when he forcibly transferred Xu Meijing, he didn't directly dispel the restriction barrier surrounding them. Instead, he contracted and shrank it, only affecting Xu Meijing. He used this method to secretly send Xu Meijing away, so the great spirit master shouldn't know whether Xu Meijing was still in the cave or not.

It was precisely because he considered this that Yang Haoran pretended to seal the cave entrance after rushing out, wanting to mislead the great spirit master with this method.
