Chapter 269 The Collapse of Water [Part Four]
【Mutian Pavilion】
Shui Qingli woke up not long after returning to Mutian Pavilion. With Yue Yuanming's help, his injuries healed quickly. However, he remained expressionless and his eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost all his energy.
Only his tightly clenched hands, with nails digging into his palms, could reveal the turbulent state of his heart, which he was trying so hard to control.
Moreover, during this time, Shui Qingli had kept her heart completely closed off, and had no time to tell Yue Yuanming about the mysterious white-clad man she had met. This made Yue Yuanming very regretful about sending Shui Qingli to supervise Atlantis.
Yue Yuanming was very anxious about this change, but he didn't know how to help Shui Qingli.
After all, it's a psychological issue, and it takes time to heal.
If only he had arrived in time...
However, this situation did not last long. Shui Qingli, who had been enduring the endless noise every day, finally broke down.
"Enough! Stop it, all of you!"
Shui Qingli clutched his forehead in anguish. The lack of peace over the past few days had finally driven him to madness. A massive amount of immortal power poured out, shattering the furniture and decorations in the Shiyan Palace.
This commotion not only startled Yue Yuanming, who was in the middle of a routine meeting, but also alerted the other Dharma Aspects. As a result, all the Dharma Aspects followed Yue Yuanming straight to the Shiyan Hall to see what had happened.
When Yue Yuanming opened the door to the Shiyan Palace, he saw Shui Qingli's appearance—a face that had only appeared a few times but left a deep impression on him.
His long, dark blue hair, reaching his waist, moved without wind, and his flowing, messy bangs covered his pale, lifeless eyes. A pair of black horns grew from his head, and two dark blue lines appeared on his handsome face.
At the same time, all the Dharma Aspects also felt the sudden surge of water molecules in the air. The invisible pressure caused all the Dharma Aspects except Yue Yuanming to secretly circulate their immortal power to resist it.
"What's going on here?"
Seeing that something was clearly wrong with Shui Qingli, the other Dharma Masters looked at each other, all completely baffled.
Only Yin Chen looked solemn, after all, she had personally experienced how terrifying Shui Qingli was in this state during the previous battle for status.
"Qingli, you..." The demonized version of Shui Qingli made Yue Yuanming subconsciously wonder if his power had gone out of control again.
Upon seeing the intruding Dharma Images, Shui Qingli unhesitatingly gathered her magic and attacked them face-to-face. Fortunately, Yue Yuanming, who was at the front, intervened in time and stopped her.
"Qingli, wake up!" Yue Yuanming's expression was solemn. In an instant, he arrived in front of Shui Qingli, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and tried to bring him back to his senses.
"What am I..." Shui Qingli came to her senses and returned to her original appearance. That annoying voice finally disappeared briefly.
Looking at the chaotic state of Shiyan Palace, he fell silent.
"Qingli, I'm so glad you're alright." Yue Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to Shui Qingli. "You still haven't told me what exactly happened that day."
"That day?" Shui Qingli immediately understood that Yue Yuanming was asking about the day he met the man in white, but before he could say it, a feeling of weakness originating from his primordial spirit suddenly struck him.
Then came the sound that had just disappeared, like countless tiny insects, devouring his sanity.
Then, right before the eyes of all the Dharma beings, he once again fell into a coma…
……
Yue Yuanming thought the trouble was over, but Shui Qingli was no longer the closed-off person she used to be. Instead, she began to sleep endlessly, remaining unconscious for a long time.
But when Shui Qingli wakes up, it will inevitably be another burst of power that exhausts his immortal energy, as if he is torturing himself and Yue Yuanming.
(Pear Pear reminds you: The following is the content of Chapters 24 and 25, which will be briefly mentioned in this chapter.)
"Water overflows, water is ethereal, sea shakes!" Shui Qingli once again unleashed a massively wide-range spell, completely losing her composure.
"The Mark of Heaven." Yue Yuanming interrupted Shui Qingli's spell without hesitation, then stood in front of him with practiced ease, forcefully calling out to his consciousness: "Qingli, wake up! Don't let negative emotions control you!"
The spell ended, and the raging flood inside Mutian Pavilion dissipated. The extremely weak Shui Qingli didn't even have time to say anything before falling into a coma again, and was quickly caught in Yue Yuanming's arms.
Seeing Shui Qingli's pale face, Yue Yuanming was extremely anxious—this was the fifth time this month, and if she continued to exhaust her immortal power every time, Shui Qingli's primordial spirit would probably not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, he always felt that Shui Qingli was waking up less and less, and even her primordial spirit was becoming weaker and weaker for no reason, as if something he couldn't see was eating away at her primordial spirit.
Yue Yuanming intended to help Shui Qingli, but little did he know that his unintentional mistake was pushing him into an even deeper abyss...
