Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246: Medical Marvel Shocks the World (31)

"Stop!!"

The shout burst forth, accompanied by a sudden wave of air expanding in the atmosphere.

Meng Weihan darted swiftly from the sky, but it was too late; Chuzheng had already uprooted the entire tree.

The wave of air centered on the tree and rippled outward in successive circles into the distance.

Below the dried riverbed, something seemed to stir, and in the next second, scarlet liquid surged from the cracks in the riverbed.

Everyone was watching beneath their feet; though the water was red, it carried no strange odor.

Yet in this brief moment, the water had already risen to the ankles.

"Why can’t I move my body??" someone suddenly shouted.

"Damn it, this is the River of Forgetfulness water!!"

"Run!!"

The rumbling of the river echoed from afar, drawing closer, the crimson waves threatening to engulf them all.

Chuzheng retreated immediately, sprinting to midair, recalling her card, and hurriedly using Yin Xian to pull the coffin up.

Out of the corner of her eye, Chuzheng noticed Meng Weihan heading towards Yan Hongni. Her eyes flickered slightly as she landed on the shore with the coffin.

She turned around just in time to see Meng Weihan swept away, disappearing in the river’s current.

Yan Hongni also vanished in a wave.

Wu Yue climbed up awkwardly, holding two people, swaying slightly before half-kneeling on the ground.

The two others were sprawled on the ground like dead dogs, motionless.

It all happened too quickly, giving no one a chance to react.

The river water rumbled toward the distance, and who knows how long it took for the river surface to gradually calm down.

"Look!"

Green branches extended from the surface, gradually growing along the river.

It wasn’t as Sister Miao had described, blocking out the sky; it merely revealed its canopy.

Like a small green island afloat in the river.

The blue-clad girl kept staring at her hands, and even as the surroundings quieted, she remained.

She hadn’t vanished...

"Sister Miao, we’re still here!!" The blue-clad girl excitedly grabbed Miao Lan.

"...Mm."

It seems their thoughts were influenced by the formation, giving them a sense of certainty.

If not for the Demon Spirit Lord tasked with breaking the formation, the spiritual bodies would likely have surged forward long ago.

The only one who could unravel this formation... is the Demon Spirit Lord.

Those people not only imprisoned them here but also had them guard this formation...

Miao Lan’s long-dormant resentment surged again.

-

In the water, Meng Weihan had caught hold of Yan Hongni, the current was rapid, and he couldn’t use his own strength because it was the River of Forgetfulness water.

Meng Weihan saw the tree growing from beneath the water and gritted his teeth, swimming over to grab the branches and climb onto the top.

"Nini? Nini, wake up."

Despite Meng Weihan’s efforts, the person in his arms showed no signs of waking.

Meng Weihan reached out to check Yan Hongni’s breath.

No breath.

No...

With a pale face tinged with fear, Meng Weihan clutched Yan Hongni: "Nini... wake up!"

"Brother Weihan..."

"Nini!" Meng Weihan’s expression lit up with joy as he looked at the person in his arms.

The person in his arms remained with eyes closed, motionless.

"Brother Weihan..."

Meng Weihan jerked his head up, a semi-transparent figure drifted in the air, tearfully gazing at him.

That face...

"Nini??"

Originally, Yan Hongni was just a step away from completely and freely using the original body’s powers.

Since Chuzheng arrived, Meng Weihan hadn’t had the chance to act.

An ordinary person would instantly be pulled out of their body by the River of Forgetfulness water, let alone Yan Hongni, who was an incomplete soul.

Meng Weihan wanted Yan Hongni to return to the body, but after several attempts, he failed.

Gurgle, gurgle...

The calm river surface began to bubble, as if boiling.

Something emerged from beneath the river, grotesque in appearance, madly rushing toward the tree’s canopy.

"Brother Weihan!!" Yan Hongni looked in horror at the approaching entities.

Meng Weihan remained calm, understanding that the river water was filled with evil spirits...

They want this temporarily unoccupied body?

"Don’t be afraid, they can’t come up," Meng Weihan reassured Yan Hongni.

However, Meng Weihan was mistaken; they can come up.

They could climb up the tree crown, aiming for the abandoned body.

Meng Weihan’s strength hadn’t yet recovered, while these evil spirits thrived in their domain, leaving him struggling to protect the body and Yan Hongni’s spiritual form.

If Yan Hongni’s soul were caught by these evil spirits, there was no rescuing her.

"Nini, don’t be afraid, I’ll think of something."

"Think of what?"

Suddenly, Meng Weihan’s back felt a chilling sensation, and the next second his embrace was empty. He instinctively reached out but merely caught a corner of her clothes.

The evil spirits, realizing the body had been seized, instantly switched targets.

Chuzheng looked at them coldly: "Want to die?"

Evil spirits: "..."

Meng Weihan watched as the evil spirits retreated to the water, their hands clawing at the tree’s edge.

Chuzheng held the lifeless body: "Is my body useful to you?"

Meng Weihan’s expression turned dark: "Give it back!"

"Elder Meng, this is my body," Chuzheng reminded Meng Weihan.

How could I possibly return it!

Even if it can’t be used now, I will keep it rather than give it back to you, scoundrel! Hmph!

Meng Weihan: "..."

He couldn’t let her take it; finding a suitable body was not easy.

The vessel he’d spent years nurturing couldn’t be so easily taken away!

Absolutely not!

"I’m saying once more, give it back to me."

"I won’t!"

Chuzheng tossed the original body into the coffin, kicked it forward, propelling it toward the riverbank.

At the same time, she retreated, floating in the void.

Below were the swirling river waters, evil spirits occasionally emerging, attempting to snatch something.

Meng Weihan dared only pursue to the edge, knowing recovery from the River of Forgetfulness water was uncertain.

"Elder Meng, rather than chasing me, why not look after your Little Beauty."

Nini!

Meng Weihan turned his head immediately, seeing evil spirits climbing up, aiming to harm Yan Hongni.

"Brother Weihan..."

Yan Hongni, weak beyond measure, could only call for Meng Weihan and nothing more.

"Don’t be afraid!"

Meng Weihan hurriedly stepped over, shielding her with his body.

Chuzheng turned and returned to the shore, with Jing Po rushing over: "Are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

The boy, in his rush, had his hood slip down, revealing his silver-white hair and handsome face.

Chuzheng reached to fix it back, but Wu Yue had already seen.

The boy seemed familiar, as though encountered before.

And that hair... it was white!

Chuzheng calmly adjusted the hood back, the boy tugged slightly on the brim.

He wasn’t concerned about people seeing his face, but rather his silver-white hair.

Therefore, Jing Po wasn’t worried about people recognizing him.

"Are you really alright?" Jing Po asked quietly.

Chuzheng didn’t mind being surrounded by so many... spiritual bodies, reaching out to wrap an arm around the boy’s waist: "Do you need to feel it to be sure?"

Jing Po shook his head in a panic: "...No... no need."
