As soon as Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao regain consciousness, he immediately moved the jade lotus away and shook her hurriedly.

"Miao Miao! Miao Miao!" Li Huowang, who was extremely nervous, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Lingmiao open her eyes.

"Senior Brother Li," Bai Lingmiao's pink eyes were filled with grievances and sadness.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Li Huowang, feeling extremely fortunate, hugged her and patted her back gently.

His gaze gradually shifted upwards, looking at Zhuge Yuan in the air, and silently said thank you.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

If it weren't for his broad knowledge, he might not have realized the usefulness of this jade lotus, and Bai Lingmiao might have been in danger.

"Brother Li, no need to be polite. It was just a small favor. I never expected to find the Twelve Merit Jade Lotus here with you. I searched for it for a long time."

Li Huowang took a deep breath, his left hand slid under Bai Lingmiao's knee, and his right hand held her waist, carrying her horizontally as he walked out of the dark room. Twin Soul, who had covered herself with a red veil again, followed silently behind.

Li Huowang lowered his head and kissed Bai Lingmiao's fragrant white hair, whispering softly, "I know you're feeling sad, but there's a sequence of events. Let's get through this deadly disaster first, and then we can talk properly."

Listening to Li Huowang's heart beating, Bai Lingmiao, who buried her head in his arms, nodded slightly. Compared to before, the current Bai Lingmiao was much quieter.

The tunnel dug by the White Lotus Sect underground was not long. Li Huowang quickly passed through the White Lotus Hall and walked out of the White Family Ancestral Hall along the stairs.

When the sound of fighting came from the direction of the White Family Courtyard, Li Huowang's expression slightly changed. It seemed that things over there were not over yet, so he quickened his pace to go and help.

But just as he took a few steps, Li Huowang's expression froze, and his body stiffened in place. His keen perception felt that something was watching him.

Gradually, Li Huowang's body trembled involuntarily. He didn't know why he was trembling, but his body seemed to have its own thoughts, and the tremors became stronger and stronger.

"That is..." Li Huowang slowly raised his trembling head and looked at the pitch-black sky.

The pitch-black curtain gradually lifted, revealing the constantly churning Mirovani Qi underneath, the overlapping rotation of the heavenly path, and the purple light shining on the Vermilion Mansion.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Li Huowang's cheek and fell onto Bai Lingmiao's hand.

Bai Lingmiao, who was buried in Li Huowang's arms, raised her head and looked at Li Huowang, who was completely frozen at the moment. She followed his gaze towards the top, but she didn't see anything.

"Senior Brother Li, what's wrong with you?" Bai Lingmiao's voice began to sound uneasy.

When she tried to pull Li Huowang's red Daoist robe with her hand, Li Huowang's mouth began to open wider and wider.

"Crack!" With a sound, as his jaw completely dislocated, a sharp and hoarse crane cry came from deep within his throat.

Once this sound appeared, it spread like an infection, almost assimilating all the surrounding sounds into the same sound.

Under the spread of this strange crane cry, some roots began to extend from Li Huowang's black shadow.

When Bai Lingmiao felt something pulling her shoe in the darkness, she anxiously called out, tears welling up in her eyes. "Senior Brother Li!"

The rapid and overlapping crane cry didn't stop, but Li Huowang heard Bai Lingmiao's cry for help. He tried hard to close his eyes, trying to isolate the influence of the things in the sky, but his eyes seemed to be completely out of his control, completely useless.

Suddenly, he raised his hands holding Bai Lingmiao and directly extended his index and middle fingers, forcefully inserting them into his own eye sockets. He forcefully gouged out his own eyeballs.

But it didn't work. His bloodshot eyeballs stared fixedly at the thing in the dark sky!

After Li Huowang clenched his hands and burst these two things, his screams replaced the strange crane cry, and everything gradually returned to normal.

Li Huowang's body went limp, falling to the ground together with Bai Lingmiao in his arms.

Twin Soul and Bai Lingmiao quickly supported Li Huowang. At this moment, Li Huowang's jaw was completely dislocated, his mouth wide open, gasping heavily with saliva mixed with blood and sweat flowing down.

He looked extremely weak, as if his soul had been sucked away.

Seeing Bai Lingmiao about to use the drum, Li Huowang held her hand holding the drumstick and forcefully lifted his chin, putting the bone back in place.

"Don't summon the immortals. In this situation, the evil spirits have gone crazy! The immortals may not listen to your command. They might even stay here."

Bai Lingmiao touched the two blood holes on Li Huowang's face with a heartache, tears in her eyes, and asked, "Senior Brother Li, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly gouge out your own eyes?"

This question made Li Huowang tremble violently, and his mouth involuntarily opened wide again.

Immediately, Li Huowang raised his trembling hands and covered the blood holes on his face, murmuring to himself, "Don't want... don't want... all beings are troubled, all troubles are suffering. All troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increased nor decreased."

The scenes he had just seen appeared and disappeared in Li Huowang's mind.

After repeatedly reciting the calming mantra hundreds of times, when Li Huowang was about to lower his hands, he found that his palms were stuck to his face by the scabs and couldn't be removed.

With determination, Li Huowang forcefully pulled his hands, causing the eye sockets that had just stopped bleeding to gush out blood and tears again.

Li Huowang listened carefully to the surroundings, enduring the pain as he said, "Where am I now?"

"Master, you're in the White Family Courtyard. Endure it, I'll apply some golden wound medicine to your eyes."

Hearing Lv Xiucai's words, Li Huowang stood up with great effort, holding his sword, ready to go outside.

"Master, Master, you're already injured like this, you don't need to go. Master's wife, the fool, and Xiaoman have almost killed those evil spirits. Besides, if they can't handle it, there's still me."Just as Lv Xiucai finished speaking, the others hurried over to persuade him. Seeing that there was no real danger, Li Huowang finally sat back down and took out the "Fire Robe Scripture" to heal his wounds.

Accompanied by the sizzling sound of flames scorching his flesh, a layer of charred scabs blocked the flowing blood.

After Lv Zhuangyuan wrapped Li Huowang's eyes with a roll of gauze, he sat quietly, his ears twitching slightly, listening to any movement outside, and calculating in his heart the possibility of worse things happening in the future.

Just then, Li Huowang suddenly felt a warmth on his arm and cheek, and he heard a loud cheer around him.

"What's going on?!" Li Huowang gripped the hilt of his sword and stood up abruptly.

"Young Taoist! The sun has returned! Hahaha! It seems that someone else is beating a gong somewhere, scaring away the Tengu that eats the sun!!"
