Chapter 1769 You brat, you're going too far!
Inside the quiet room, the golden light of the dragon patterns on the Nine Dragon Sword slowly dimmed, returning to calm.
Mingchuan used his last bit of willpower to summon the dragon's energy, completely exhausting himself. His vision went black, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
But this time, his breathing was steady and long, and although his face was pale, it no longer looked dead, and the trace of pain between his brows had also disappeared.
After completing its mission, the Nine Dragons Sword seemed to be closer to Mingchuan, radiating a faint sense of nurturing, as if the remaining dragon energy was spontaneously flowing back to protect its master.
"Mingchuan!"
"Quick! Check on him!"
Leng Xi and the other two women, along with Ah Xiong, hurriedly went forward to investigate.
A moment later, Leng Xi let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy: "He... he was just overexerted and hadn't fully recovered from his serious injuries, so he fell into a deep sleep. But the vitality within him... is stronger than when he woke up! His meridians are also spontaneously absorbing spiritual energy to repair themselves! That Nine Dragon Sword... seems to be nourishing and nurturing him!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a surge of immense joy and lingering fear.
They looked at Mingchuan, who was fast asleep with a peaceful expression, and at the seemingly ordinary ancient sword beside his pillow, their eyes filled with reverence and complex emotions.
The magnificent sword aura and dragon energy that exorcised evil spirits and suppressed demons just now actually originated from this.
Ah Xiong wiped his face, looked at the three scenes in the astronomical mirror that were gradually returning to normal, and grinned, though tears still glistened in his eyes:
"Damn it... I knew it... Doflamingo is Doflamingo! Even his sword is this awesome! He could poke a hole in the sky and then patch it up while he's asleep!"
Seeing Mingchuan fall asleep again, Ah Xiong felt a pang of sadness.
If they were still in the human world, Doflamingo wouldn't have to go through so much hardship alone...
For a moment, Ah Xiong even hated himself for being useless.
He sighed, and was just about to go out to find someone else to help Mingchuan when a very slight, yet familiar, ripple suddenly came from the space outside the quiet room.
"Huh?" Ah Xiong suddenly turned his head to look at the end of the corridor, his muscles tensing instantly. "Who?!"
"You little brat! You can't even recognize your godfather's scent?"
Space distorted slightly, and Ye Yan stepped out from the void.
"Godfather! Aren't you in the Abyss dealing with the aftermath?"
Ye Yan waved his hand, hurriedly walking inside while replying, "I sensed something was wrong with Mingchuan in the Demon Abyss, so I rushed back to check on him. What happened to him?"
Ah Xiong's voice immediately became hoarse: "Godfather, Ming-ge just woke up, but then passed out again!"
He quickly recounted how Mingchuan had briefly regained consciousness, remotely controlled three dangerous locations through the Observation Mirror to resolve the crisis, and finally activated the Nine Dragon Sword's dragon energy to cleanse the evil thoughts.
Ye Yan gasped, "Holy crap, this brat is acting so recklessly!"
He clicked his tongue and quickly stepped into the quiet room.
When Leng Xi and the other two saw him enter, they quickly stood up and said, "Master!"
Ye Yan hummed in agreement, nodded, and quickly walked to Mingchuan's bedside.
He squinted and scrutinized Mingchuan from head to toe, paying particular attention to his complexion, breathing rhythm, and the Nine Dragons Sword beside his pillow.
"Tsk... Pale face, deficient in both qi and blood, the aftershocks of the shock to the soul have not yet subsided, the meridians are like a broken sieve... The injury is really serious."
He extended his fingers, placed them on Mingchuan's wrist pulse, closed his eyes, and slowly channeled a wisp of pure, gentle, yet strangely penetrating spiritual energy into him.
His brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently, and he muttered to himself, "Hey, these meridians are a bit damaged, but they're quite active, slowly growing bigger on their own... Hmm? Why does this dantian feel so empty, but it seems like there's some fire burning underneath? Strange... Hiss! This soul..."
A moment later, Ye Yan withdrew his hand, let out a long breath, and opened his eyes.
"Master, how is Mingchuan?" Leng Xi asked anxiously, her usually cold face unable to hide her worry.
The others also looked at Ye Yan with anxious anticipation.
Looking at their worried faces, Ye Yan sighed and softened his tone: "Don't worry, don't fret. This kid is tough; even the King of Hell wouldn't dare take him."
"His physical condition isn't seriously compromised; he's just overexerted. His meridians are severely damaged, but they're already recovering on their own, probably thanks to the help of the three dragons within his body. He just needs some time to rest and recuperate."
"Then... Elder, when will Brother Mingchuan wake up again?" Ya Ya asked softly, her eyes still red.
Ye Yan rubbed Ya Ya's little head: "It'll be soon. He was briefly awake this time and forcibly activated the dragon energy of the Nine Dragon Sword, which consumed the last bit of his mental energy. Now that the danger has passed, his mind has relaxed, and his body instinctively needs a deep sleep to repair itself, so he fell asleep. He will naturally wake up when he has rested enough."
"He only used up the dragon energy accumulated in the Nine Dragon Sword. Fortunately, once the three dragons have recovered, they can accumulate it again."
Hearing Ye Yan say this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Xiong plopped down on the stool next to him and exaggeratedly patted his chest: "That scared me to death... Ming-ge is such a pain in the ass. Next time, let him inform us first. This is such a damn headache!"
Leng Xi, Dong Chu, Yan Ran, and Qianqian all showed expressions of relief, their tightly furrowed brows relaxing.
But the eyes of the three of them still involuntarily reddened.
Chen Shu stood at the door, his little face tense. He looked at Ming Chuan sleeping peacefully on the bed, then at the seemingly ancient but powerful longsword beside his pillow, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination and admiration.
He suddenly turned around and solemnly bowed to Ye Yan, Leng Xi, and the others.
"Elder, my three sisters-in-law, and Brother Xiong, please rest assured and take care of Brother Mingchuan. I..." He straightened his still somewhat immature chest, "I will take Jinwa, Yaya, and my junior brothers to train even harder! Brother Mingchuan has worked so hard to protect everyone, we absolutely cannot hold him back! When Brother Mingchuan wakes up, we will let him see a stronger and more united Wanchuan Sect!"
After saying that, he looked at Mingchuan again and took Jinwa and Yaya's hands: "Jinwa, Yaya, let's go!"
"Ok!"
Jinwa and Yaya nodded vigorously, and the three small figures, with a determination beyond their years, quickly left the quiet room.
Looking at Chen Shu's straight back, Ye Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of relief and emotion: "This kid... Mingchuan is lucky to have such a group of brothers and disciples."
Ah Xiong smiled with satisfaction: "Little Tree is starting to look more and more like Senior Brother. By the way, Godfather, what about the Demon Abyss..."
"The situation in the Demon Abyss is temporarily stable." Ye Yan waved his hand. "The evil core was severely injured after being hit hard by Ming Chuan and having a portion of its origin forcibly cut off. With the barrier left by Fairy Yueyao and subsequent reinforcements, it won't be able to cause any major trouble in the short term. Now it's just a matter of slowly purifying the remaining demonic energy and repairing the earth veins."
“The other major sects have people handling it, so we don’t need to keep an eye on it. The most important thing right now is to get this brat back to health as soon as possible.”
