“Yue Zhao, wake up!”

At this critical moment, all Gu Qingqing could think of was to use her own spirit of speech technique.

As the mysterious voice fell, Yue Zhao’s movements were immediately frozen on the spot. Gu Qingqing hurriedly retreated more than ten steps away from Yue Zhao.

Because of Gu Qingqing’s spirit of speech, the blood in Yue Zhao’s eyes slightly retreated. His expression was somewhat hesitant. The runes on his body would disappear for a while before appearing again, causing Gu Qingqing to be extremely nervous.

Fortunately, every time the runes appeared, the color would fade. Otherwise, Gu Qingqing felt that she would really have to die here today.

She felt it for a while. She realized that there was still some spiritual energy left in her body. She looked at Yue Zhao and was a little hesitant.

A moment later, Gu Qingqing gritted her teeth and spoke again.

“Second senior brother, wake up!”

A mysterious voice floated out of Gu Qingqing’s mouth once again. Only she herself could see the white light falling on Yue Zhao’s body. She did not care about the meridians in her body that were slightly painful due to her spiritual energy being sucked out. She nervously watched Yue Zhao’s expression.

…

It was unknown when Yue Zhao had gotten into the habit of drinking by the cliff of the second peak. When he had nothing to do, he would come to the edge of the cliff and drink a pot of wine. After that, he would practice his zither and blow the wind at the edge of the cliff. The things that usually bothered him seemed to disappear, making him feel very comfortable.

It was the same today. He brought a pot of peach blossom drunkenness that he liked to drink and sat by the edge of the cliff. After drinking, he took out his zither and began to play.

Perhaps it was because Gu Qingqing had chosen that zither today, but when he was playing the zither, he actually remembered the memories that had been sealed away by him. His emotions grew stronger and stronger, and it just so happened to trigger the poison that was suppressed in his body. In the end, he actually had the feeling of going crazy.

Just as his mind began to become muddled, he felt something approaching him. However, his vision was blood-red. He could not see clearly what it was and could only subconsciously attack, trying to protect himself.

In his daze, he seemed to see Gu Qingqing’s face. However, in the next moment, his vision was replaced by blood red.

Just as the violent elements in his body could not suppress themselves and wanted to kill the person in front of him, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in his ear. However, he could not hear it clearly and subconsciously stopped, wanting to hear what it was… However, his current state was really not good. He actually could not control his body.

Just as he was about to sink into it again, the mysterious voice from before once again appeared in his ear. This time, he heard it clearly.

“Second senior brother, wake up!”

It was Gu Qingqing’s voice. It was the last disciple that his master, Holy Lord Spirit Fox, had recently accepted. He remembered that the other party’s talent seemed to be the spirit of words technique. Previously, he had only heard that the spirit of words technique was more powerful, but now he had personally experienced it.

The instant he heard the voice, the thoughts that he had been unable to control suddenly cleared up. The blood in front of his eyes faded, and he saw Gu Qingqing looking at him worriedly with a pale face. In that instant, it was as if a beam of light had shone into his heart, he instantly remembered this face.

He wanted her to not worry. He was already fine, but his vision turned black and he fainted.

…

When she saw the blood in Yue Zhao’s eyes disappear, Gu Qingqing was still relatively happy. She saw Yue Zhao’s mouth move and was about to step forward to hear clearly when Yue Zhao’s body suddenly fell forward. She subconsciously rushed forward to support him, but she forgot about her small and weak body. She was directly hit by Yue Zhao and also fainted.

When Rong Ye arrived, he saw Yue Zhao pressing onto Gu Qingqing’s body as both of them fainted.

He was shocked and quickly ran over.
