"Are you ready, Master?"

Yunyao did not seem to notice the little Vermillion Bird's change of heart as her pretty eyes stared fixedly at Gu Ruoyun.

"I'm ready."

Gu Ruoyun nodded gently with a rarely seen seriousness on her face.

"Alright. Master, I want you to follow whatever I tell you to do next. If you find that you absolutely can't continue the process, call me and I will find a way to help you." Yunyao's eyes slowly filled with a somber air but her gaze was filled with resolution as she spoke.

Gu Ruoyun did not reply as she slowly released her mental energy and seeped into Zixie's body.

The situation within Zixie's body then entered Gu Ruoyun's mind through her mental energy.

When she laid her eyes upon the condition in Zixie's body, Gu Ruoyun gasped in surprise.

She looked on as countless forms of energy turned into beams of light and clashed against each other within Zixie's body. His vital organs were all bleeding from the sheer force of the conflict as the energy reverberated inside him as if looking for a way to itself out of his body.

Gu Ruoyun's expression sank. She then took a deep breath and said, "This cannot continue, I must hurry and move quickly. Otherwise, Zixie will be in grave danger. However, the power source has scattered all around his body so I'll have to seal it for him one by one."

Boom!

As Gu Ruoyun's mental energy came into contact with a wave of energy, she felt as if a powerful force had slammed into her head. It was so painful that she could not help but wrinkle her brow. Even so, she still continued to direct her mental energy into Zixie.

That power source was indeed very powerful! Furthermore, without anything to bind it, Gu Ruoyun could not possibly control it and all it wanted to do was to leave Zixie's body.

...

Within the Ancient Divine Pagoda, Yunyao observed the increasingly pained look on Gu Ruoyun's face. Yunyao's gaze slowly displayed a sense of anxiety. She then bit her lip and spoke hesitantly, "Tianqiong, was I wrong? Master should not have found out about this matter. If anything happens to her, I..."

That power source was something which not even Lord Zixie had been able to suppress. While Master is indeed highly talented, this power source was not something that she can control in her current state.

"Yunyao," Tianqiong furrowed his brows, "We must believe in her."

Believe in her?

Yunyao laughed bitterly. This is not whether I believe in her or not but, based on her current level of power, she can't possibly accomplish what she has set out to do.

"Tianqiong, if anything goes wrong, we must pull her mental energy out even if we have to give our own lives."

Actually, Yunyao was right, Gu Ruoyun was indeed in a dangerous condition now. Each wave of energy was extremely powerful. Based on her level of power, she would not be able to suppress it just yet. Based on this, one could imagine the kind of terrifying power that has been generated from this power source.

This power had come from Zixie's past life!

"Since my powers are not at your level, I'm going to weaken you first. I'll cripple you to a level where I can resist you!"

Gu Ruoyun smiled icily as she stared at the beams of light which were clashing and shooting all over the place. Her gaze filled with resolve and determination!

"Be restrained!"

Whoosh!

The light from one of the power sources' energy fluctuations was instantly extinguished at the sound of Gu Ruoyun's command. Upon careful examination, it almost looks like a gust of wind was absorbing the power source's energy.

Of course, Gu Ruoyun could not absorb the power source completely! Otherwise, even though the power source has been dispersed into countless light beams, each small beam of light was enough to explode her on the spot!
