"What? Soul Severing Pill?" Chen Nan's face turned ashen!
He knew the Soul Severing Pill was a poison specifically targeting the soul!
Once this poison was ingested, there was no possibility of survival!
The moment the poison took effect, one would instantly be annihilated, body and soul!
"Ninth Uncle, is there an antidote for the Soul Severing Pill?" Chen Nan asked anxiously. waP.kanshu伍.net
At this moment!
He finally understood the grave price spoken of by Liu Yingying!
Fourth Uncle shook his head with a solemn expression: "The Soul Severing Pill is the most potent poison in the world. Let alone Miss Yu having only the strength of a Golden Immortal, even if she were a ninth-level Immortal Emperor, she could not withstand its toxicity!"
Yu Fei's complexion was gaunt, her lips tinged purple: "Brother Chen, I feel a bit cold. Can you hold me tight?"
"Brother Chen will hold you!"
Chen Nan hugged Yu Fei tightly!
The feeling of his heart being sliced apart surged within him once more!
It almost suffocated him!
Because on Earth, Nangong Wan had also died in his arms!
"I'm sorry... I can't wander the world with you anymore!" Yu Fei leaned into Chen Nan's embrace, scalding tears streaming down her cheeks. "My parents gave birth to a younger brother for me. That little fellow is quite... quite adorable!"
"But..."
"I haven't held him!"
"It's not that I don't like children..."
"I just want to hold our child!"
"I had intended to have a child of our own..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chen Nan was grief-stricken. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't spared Liu Yingying back then, this would never have happened today!"
At this moment!
Chen Nan finally understood Cao Rufeng's words: only a heart of stone could be immune to all methods.
If he hadn't been merciful and let Liu Yingying leave!
How could Yu Fei have suffered such a fate?
He paid a bitter price for his own leniency!
Yu Fei's face held a hint of happiness, and she tremblingly reached out a hand to caress Chen Nan's face. However, due to the poison's effects, even this small movement was difficult to execute.
Just as her hand was about to fall, Chen Nan grabbed it and placed it on his own face.
Her hand was cold!
And it was gradually losing its warmth!
"My master once told me that everyone's life is a journey!"
"Since there is a beginning, there is bound to be an end!"
"I regret not being able to reach the end with you!"
"But I am fortunate to have left a mark on your life!"
"Don't speak yet!" Chen Nan, in utter despair, channeled his merit power into Yu Fei's body!
In his eyes!
Merit power was omnipotent!
However!
Yu Fei's body could not store that merit power at all!
"Brother Chen, I have one last thing to say!" Yu Fei's body suddenly convulsed. The intense pain almost made her cry out!
But she didn't!
There wasn't even a pained expression on her face!
Because she knew their journey together was about to end!
Even if she was in pain!
She wanted to show Chen Nan her most beautiful side!
She said weakly: "In the future, learn to be a bit more heartless, okay?"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
"I promise you!" Tears instantly streamed down Chen Nan's face!
Yu Fei slowly closed her eyes in Chen Nan's arms.
Chen Nan was plunged into despair!
He thought of the first time he met Yu Fei in the Myriad Demon Cave!
Memories flashed through Chen Nan's mind!
The more beautiful the memories!
The more pain he felt at this moment!
Fourth Uncle patted Chen Nan's shoulder and said softly, "Miss Yu is right. Our lives are a journey!"
"No one can accompany us to the end of our lives!"
"The only thing we can do is learn to be strong in loss!"
"Learn to grow!"
"It's just that the price of your growth this time is incredibly bitter!"
"But Ninth Uncle believes that Miss Yu's departure will undoubtedly become the greatest fortune in your life!"
Chen Nan wiped the tears from his face, his eyes filled with confusion: "She is my woman. How can her departure be called the greatest fortune in my life?"
Suddenly!
Chen Nan remembered what Luo Yuan, the previous master of the Heaven-Connecting Pagoda, had said!
The Human Emperor used all living beings as pawns!
Could it be that Yu Fei was a pawn he had placed beside him?
But Chen Nan immediately dismissed this thought!
Luo Yuan controlling the Immortal Mansion to appear in the Demon Realm had already disrupted the Human Emperor's plan!
And he and Yu Fei had met in the Demon Realm!
Fourth Uncle looked towards the distant western sky: "There are some things I still haven't fully understood!"
"But I can tell you responsibly!"
"You must become heartless!"
"Only then will Miss Yu's death not be in vain!"
Chen Nan looked at the woman in his arms who seemed to have fallen asleep: "She's not dead, just asleep. One day, I will wake her from her slumber!"
Fourth Uncle hesitated and said, "Chen Nan, Ninth Uncle doesn't want to dampen your spirits!"
"But some things must be said!"
"Becoming a Saint can indeed bring the dead back to life!"
"However..."
"Those people's souls did not disappear!"
"But Miss Yu's soul has already been scattered!"
"Her soul has transformed into invisible rule power!"
"She has become a part of this world!"
"Even if you become a Saint, it will be difficult to revive her!"
He had to tell Chen Nan the truth!
Otherwise, if he found out after becoming a Saint!
It would be an extremely cruel thing for him!
Chen Nan remained silent. With a thought, the Pillar of Merit appeared in his hand!
He held the Pillar of Merit in his left hand!
And used his right index finger as a pen!
Using the merit power!
He inscribed Yu Fei's name upon it!
"What is this? Why do I feel a terrifying divine power?" Fourth Uncle was moved, sensing the power of the Pillar of Merit!
In front of this stick!
Even the supreme Human Sovereign!
Felt a sense of being as humble as an ant!
Chen Nan put away the Pillar of Merit with satisfaction!
Qing Long had said!
As long as one inscribed another's name on the Pillar of Merit!
That person would immediately ascend to godhood!
Although Yu Fei was dead and could not immediately ascend to godhood!
The Pillar of Merit could protect her soul!
However!
This physical body could no longer contain her soul!
"Fei Fei, you sleep first!"
"After I go to the Central Continent and deal with the Human Emperor, I will find a way to revive you!" A look of determination flashed in Chen Nan's eyes!
Then, Yu Fei's body floated in the air!
Boom!
With a surge of terrifying energy!
Yu Fei's body vanished into the heavens and earth!
Although he wanted to bury Yu Fei!
The precedent of Nangong Wan's death forced him to do this!
He was truly afraid that the Human Emperor would steal Yu Fei's body as well!
"It seems you have truly grown!" Fourth Uncle looked on with gratification!
Chen Nan forced a smile: "I cannot fail Fei Fei's expectations. As for your question just now, about the origin of this stick, actually..."
Fourth Uncle sternly warned: "Don't tell me its origin, nor use it in front of others, lest it bring about the peril of death!"
Chen Nan put away the Pillar of Merit!
Then he took a deep breath: "Ninth Uncle, activate the teleportation array and send me to Yan Country!"
He had to go and learn the art of artifact refining!
And thus open the Heaven-Connecting Pagoda!
Only by reaching the ninth level of the Heaven-Connecting Pagoda!
Could he glimpse the role he played in the Human Emperor's grand game!
