Chapter 106 Yuanlu (4 points)

Yun Muhan frowned, his gaze as sharp as a falcon's, ready to deal with any potential threats.

The girl followed closely behind him, her eyes revealing a hint of dependence and trust. Her hand unconsciously gripped the hem of Yun Muhan's clothes, as if it could bring her a sense of security.

As they cautiously moved forward, the divine stone suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, as intense as the sun, instantly engulfing their figures.

Yun Muhan and the girl felt a powerful force pulling at them, a force so strong it almost tore their bodies apart. Their eyes were closed by the light; they could only feel their bodies moving involuntarily.

The surrounding scenery began to blur, as if swallowed by distorted spacetime. They felt as if they were in an endless tunnel, the walls of which shimmered with strange lights that seemed to be telling ancient secrets.

Time lost its meaning here; they could only feel the pulling force constantly increasing, as if it were about to carry them to an unknown shore.

"Hold on tight!" Yun Muhan shouted, gripping the girl's hand tightly.

The girl gripped his hand tightly, their hands intertwined in the light, and their figures gradually disappeared into the light.

When the light faded, they found themselves standing in a lush forest, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and plants, a stark contrast to the desolation of purgatory.

"We did it!" the girl shouted excitedly, her eyes glistening with tears of joy.

Yun Muhan breathed a sigh of relief; they had escaped that terrifying place. Yun Muhan took out the divine stone from his robes, only to find that its radiance had vanished, making it indistinguishable from an ordinary stone.

"It seems the divine stone has fulfilled its mission," Yun Muhan remarked.

The girl nodded. "Now, we can start a new life."

The girl smiled and extended her hand to Yun Muhan.

Dugu Jianling: Kid, you haven't forgotten why you came here, have you?

Yun Muhan: I haven't forgotten. Yuanzhou was all a tool for me to become stronger... For Xi Ling, Yun Xi, Ling Shuang, Miss Su, and Liu Li, I have no reason to be complacent, nor any reason to relax, not even for a moment.

Yun Muhan did not take the girl's outstretched hand, saying, "Miss, may we meet again someday!"

"Why... why?"

Yun Muhan ignored him and turned to leave.

The girl quickly hugged Yun Muhan's slender waist, "Don't go... please!"

Yun Muhan's body suddenly stiffened, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and his vision began to blur. He tried to steady himself, but his body wouldn't obey him, and the world before him began to spin.

The girl sensed his abnormality and quickly tightened her grip on him, trying to support his swaying body. Blood began to gush from Yun Muhan's seven orifices, and several holes appeared in his body at the same time.

Dugu Jianling: ...Demonic energy...how could it be...at this time?

"What's wrong?" The girl's voice was full of concern.

Yun Muhan wanted to answer, but found he didn't even have the strength to speak. His consciousness began to blur, and he could only feel the girl's warm embrace and rapid breathing.

Yun Muhan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally, amidst the girl's gasp, he lost consciousness and his body slumped softly into her arms.

The girl panicked. She clung tightly to Yun Muhan, feeling his body grow colder and colder, and a fear she had never felt before surged in her heart.

"Princess, what brings you here?" An aged voice came, but it sounded like salvation to the girl.

A glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's eyes. She looked up at the source of the sound and saw an elderly man with white hair hurrying towards her, his face full of anxiety.

He was the girl's personal attendant and one of the people she trusted most; his name was Old Li.

"Old Li, he suddenly fainted, I... I don't know what to do!" The girl's voice was trembling with sobs, clearly on the verge of collapse.

Mr. Li quickly walked to the girl's side, his eyes revealing determination and composure.

He first checked Yun Muhan's breathing and pulse, then said to the girl, "Princess, rest assured, I will do my best to save the young master. Now, we need to take him back to the palace immediately and ask the imperial physician to come and treat him."

The girl nodded, knowing that in this situation, Old Li's experience and wisdom were her greatest support. She held Yun Muhan's hand tightly, as if that could transfer some strength to him.

"Guards!" Old Li shouted, and several guards immediately responded and arrived.

"Immediately prepare a sedan chair and carefully carry the young master back to the palace. At the same time, send someone on horseback to fetch the imperial physician at top speed; there must be no delay!"

The guards sprang into action, carefully lifting Yun Muhan into the sedan chair, with the girl following closely behind, each step filled with worry and unease.
