Chapter 0432: Jade Rabbit Detoxifies

Qin Yun was not concerned about the Life Trace Crystal Jade at the moment. He only wanted to return quickly to detoxify Feng Honglan and then wait for Zi Qingcheng to bring Yang Shiyue to the Nine Profound Mystic Gate.

"Qin Yun, let us escort you out!" said Zhuochuan.

Zhuochuan was only at the fifth level of the Martial Path realm. Even he was no match for those people outside.

But with him protecting Qin Yun, those people wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Killing a member of the Runes Hall would lead to being hunted by them.

Qin Yun was only a certified Runes Master by the Runes Hall and not officially a member, so those people weren't afraid.

If they killed Qin Yun, they could hide within those major factions and emerge after a few hundred years.

Qin Yun took a map and nodded, asking, "When do we leave?"

"The sooner the better. We'll leave from above!" Zhuochuan had just finished speaking when the door opened.

Two people in blue robes walked in. One was Lan Huayu, who had a youthful face but white hair.

The other was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a bamboo hat, none other than Lan Chen, the great palace master of the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

Seeing Lan Chen, Qin Yun pursed his lips and said, "Baldie, why did you abandon the Blue Spirit Star Palace back then?"

"Well... it was my fault! I didn't expect to lose!" Lan Chen chuckled awkwardly. "Congratulations on coming out of the Runes Hall. You are now the Head of the Runes Hall!"

"But the Blue Spirit Star Palace is gone. What's the point of being the Head of the Runes Hall?" Qin Yun said with great dissatisfaction.

"Enough of that! No matter what, we will always be disciples of the Blue Spirit Star Palace! Although we have joined different sects, we can still rebuild the Blue Spirit Star Palace in the future!" Lan Chen said.

Lan Huayu and Lan Chen had naturally heard about Qin Yun's experiences after entering Wuhuang.

Now, seeing Qin Yun here, they were quite surprised, as they had thought he was still in the ancient grove.

"Are the people outside here to kill you?" Lan Huayu asked.

"Yes! Those guys want to kill me and collect the reward!" Qin Yun clenched his teeth in fury. "I really want to go out and take them out one by one!"

Lan Chen was at the Spirit Martial stage. With him here, Zhuochuan and the others felt much more at ease.

Lan Chen was not from the Runes Hall. He and Xie Wufeng had joined a sect that cultivated sword arts.

Lan Huayu, however, had entered the Runes Hall.

"Qin Yun, I am the Chief Steward here... I just received a message from the Runes Hall's top brass saying they cannot protect you!" Lan Huayu frowned.

"Those outside are at the Spirit Martial stage! If Qin Yun goes out, he will surely die!" Lan Chen said with confusion. "Qin Yun is a young Runes Master. Has the Runes Hall gone mad? Abandoning such a talented Runes Master!"

Zhuochuan was also furious and said, "Old Lan, did the Runes Hall's top brass really say that? Why? With the strength of the Runes Hall, they shouldn't be afraid of the Lineage Clans and the Totem Hall!"

Lan Huayu sighed and shook his head. "I don't know either. I just received the message! Moreover, the Runes Hall will no longer recognize Qin Yun's Runes Master certification, and no Runes Hall can offer Qin Yun protection!"

Qin Yun suddenly realized that it might be because he didn't enter that ancient grove!

The Runes Hall was responsible for overseeing the selection process for the ancient grove. But because of a problem with his pass, Qin Yun ended up in a different ancient grove.

There must have been something crucial he was meant to do in the ancient grove, but he missed it.

This made his thoughts run wild!

He secretly speculated that over the years, some Martial Realm 3rd Layer warriors chosen by the Totem Pavilion to enter the ancient garden were searching for the Yang Spirit!

The ancient garden was sealed by the Spirit Desolation, allowing only warriors with no more than three Great Dao Life Traces to enter.

People from the Three Desolations were unaware of the Yang Spirit's fall, but the Totem Pavilion from the Spirit Desolation likely knew.

"Was it my absence that caused them to fail in obtaining the Yang Spirit? Is that why they’re taking it out on me?"

Qin Yun thought to himself, though these were just his speculations—no one knew the truth.

Lan Chen said, "Old Lan, Qin Yun is the head of our Totem Gate. The StarMoon Sigil he has is something even the Totem Pavilion lacks! Don’t let any of this leak to the Totem Pavilion!"

Zhuochuan, Duan Qian, and Lan Huayu all nodded. Though they were all Totem Pavilion members, they were close to Qin Yun and had never disclosed his affairs to their superiors.

Lan Chen said, "Qin Yun, I’m not with the Totem Pavilion. I’ll get you out!"

"Old Lan, don’t rush to leave the Totem Pavilion. Stay there and keep feeding us reliable intel. The Totem Pavilion must have some hidden agenda for not protecting Qin Yun!"

Lan Huayu nodded, "Maybe the Totem Pavilion thinks Qin Yun can’t break the Black Soul Curse, so they’re not backing him."

Lan Chen laughed, "Others might not break the Black Soul Curse, but Qin Yun’s different. The StarMoon Sigil he has is incredibly powerful—it’ll definitely help him break through!"

Qin Yun said, "Can we leave after midnight?"

"Sure! It’s already dark, and midnight’s not far off."

...

Qin Yun also took this time to rest well.

Late at night, over two thousand people surrounded the Totem Pavilion.

Lan Chen said, "There’s a growing crowd outside! Luckily, there aren’t many Spirit Martial realm warriors."

At night, Qin Yun could use his shadow power to vanish into the darkness. Even without Lan Chen's escort, he could safely leave the Totem Pavilion.

"Lan Chen, is that pattern on your head a totem mark?" Qin Yun asked.

"Of course! It’s innate. Keep it quiet—I don’t want the Totem Pavilion on my back," Lan Chen said.

"What kind of totem is it?" Qin Yun asked, curious.

Lan Chen felt a bit strange under Qin Yun's gaze and said, "A star totem! Don’t go getting any ideas!"

"No time now... Later, I’ll borrow your star totem!" Qin Yun joked.

He could have Mo Mo replicate Lan Chen's totem without harming him, but it would take a lot of time.

"We’ll see!" Lan Chen said, a bit worried Qin Yun might do something reckless.

Qin Yun paced back and forth in the main hall of the Totem Pavilion and said, "Here’s the plan: you lure them away, and I’ll slip out on my own!"

"Are you sure? They were chasing you hard during the day!" Zhuochuan said, concerned.

"I can vanish into the darkness at night—no problem!" Qin Yun laughed.

Zhuochuan and the others followed Qin Yun's plan. After discussing it, they left the Totem Pavilion and flew quickly in one direction.

Many assumed warriors from the Spirit Martial realm were escorting Qin Yun, so they immediately pursued him.

When the crowd thinned out, Qin Yun, hidden in the darkness, slipped away from the Odd Pattern Hall and ran towards the direction of the Nine Extremes Mystic Sect.

Although there were still hundreds of people outside the Odd Pattern Hall, they did not notice Qin Yun.

Qin Yun smoothly distanced himself from the Odd Pattern Hall and embarked on the journey back to the Nine Extremes Mystic Sect.

...

After half a month of travel, Qin Yun finally returned to the Nine Extremes Mystic Sect!

At dusk, the crimson glow of the Nine Suns illuminated the nine towering pillars, casting an even more mysterious aura on the sun totems etched into them.

The one who came out to open the formation was none other than Wei Zhongzheng.

"Xiao Yun, I heard that the time spent in the Ancient Arboretum is never less than a year. Why did you return half a year early?" Wei Zhongzheng asked, already aware of Qin Yun's return.

"Sect Leader, the Odd Pattern Hall will no longer protect me!" Qin Yun said with a grave expression.

"I’ve already heard about this. I’ve inquired with Mu Fengxiao for the specific reasons. He said he would come to the Nine Extremes Mystic Sect in a while to discuss this with us in detail!"

Wei Zhongzheng sighed and patted Qin Yun on the shoulder: "Don’t fret, we’ve got your back! The Nine Extremes Mystic Sect will always be your home, no matter what!"

Qin Yun felt a warm surge in his heart and urgently said, "Sect Leader, I’ve found a way to detoxify! Take me to see Hong Lan quickly! How is she now?"

"I gave her the Hong Lan Martial Soul, but somehow she managed to create a dual Hong Lan Martial Soul... However, as the toxins accumulated more and more, her condition worsened, and she can’t practice normally anymore!"

Wei Zhongzheng hurriedly grabbed Qin Yun and flew to the herb garden, with a helpless look on his face, "The poison in her system is far stronger than I anticipated, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to suppress!"

Feng Honglan had been staying in the bronze pavilion in the herb garden, cared for by Yuan Yanying.

When Qin Yun arrived at the herb garden, he saw Yuan Yanying wearing a deeply troubled and sorrowful expression.

"Yanying, what’s wrong?" As soon as Qin Yun arrived, Yuan Yanying threw herself into his arms.

"Hong Lan’s condition is getting worse, brother. Please save her!" Yuan Yanying whispered, sobbing.

Qin Yun quickly reassured her, "Don’t worry, I rushed back just to save her!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yanying hurriedly led Qin Yun and Wei Zhongzheng into a room.

Feng Honglan lay on the bed, her eyes slightly open, her entire body blackened and emitting dark fumes.

Qin Yun quickly took out the Jade Rabbit and woke her up.

The Jade Rabbit, having slept for ages, was ravenous and began by devouring over a dozen beast crystal eggs.

The weak Feng Honglan, seeing Qin Yun, her eyes lit up with joy. She whispered, "Qin Yun, I’m so happy to see you one last time!"

"Don’t talk like that. You’ll be fine!" Qin Yun smiled.

The Jade Rabbit bit Feng Honglan’s wrist with its teeth and began absorbing the toxins in her body.

"Brother, will this little rabbit be okay? The poison is very potent!" Yuan Yanying, awed by the Jade Rabbit’s extraordinary nature, grew concerned, as it had quickly devoured so many beast crystal eggs.

Wei Zhongzheng also watched in amazement, as the Jade Rabbit absorbed a lot of toxic blood without a hitch.

"Sect Leader, could you help me gather more beast crystal eggs? I need a thousand!" Qin Yun said, as the Jade Rabbit, being a mystical beast, demanded substantial resources to maintain.

"Alright, I'll have the elders take care of it!" Wei Zhongzheng hurriedly left, now feeling much more relieved.

The Jade Rabbit was absorbing the poison at a rapid pace.

Feng Honglan, who had been surrounded by a dark aura and had numerous dark spots on her skin, was gradually clearing up, which brought great joy to both Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan.

Qin Yun also began to feel more at ease.

Before long, Wei Zhongzheng returned. He brought with him a woman draped in a purple robe—none other than Zi Qingcheng!
