Chapter 286 Something happened
Abandoned, Wei Ying blankly brushed his messy long hair, subconsciously looking around at the pitch-black surroundings, where he could barely make out the vague outlines under the faint starlight.
Staring in disbelief, he asked, "Lan Zhan, Sect Leader Wen is just abandoning us like this?"
"Wow! This place is so desolate! There's not a soul in sight, and the light is practically nonexistent!"
Lan Zhan: "I don't know."
Wei Ying: "? Never mind -_-||, it's your first time in Nightless City too, how would you know where this is!"
"Alright, let's just wait for that living ancestor, Sect Leader Wen!"
Wei Ying puffed out his cheeks, blew on the few strands of long hair that fell across his face, and said with his arms slumped over his shoulders.
The silence lasted less than a third of a cup of tea's time. Seeing that Wen Ruohan had not yet appeared, Wei Ying leaned to one side as if he had no bones, resting his head on Lan Zhan, who stood upright like a vigorous and powerful pine or bamboo.
With her hands idly playing with the moon-white hair ribbon hanging down to her chest from the blue magnolia hair crown, the same color magnolia pattern distributed in an orderly manner.
He was still muttering incoherently, "...Why isn't he here yet...This daylily has gone cold several times already...Ugh, so annoying! If it weren't for the fact that only the current and successive leaders of the Wen Clan can enter the place where these secret notes are stored, I wouldn't bother waiting for this king of lateness!!"
"Ahhh, I wonder how things are going with my older sister!"
"Wei Ying!"
In the pitch-black night, Lan Zhan's clear voice was exceptionally distinct, "Believe in Qi Ye, believe in your sister, and believe in yourself!"
"But..." But as soon as I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but see the image of my sister enduring the pain before we came, and no matter how we examined her, we couldn't find the source of the pain!
Wei Ying smiled bitterly and restlessly.
"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan stared intently into Wei Ying's eyes. "As long as we successfully trace the source of that incomplete magic array on this trip, the advantage in this decisive battle will lie with them, and everything will be easily resolved!"
Whether it's the heresy of the elder sister at this moment, or the long-standing problems of the aristocratic structure, cultivation level, and imbalance of spiritual resentment in this world, or even the hidden schemes behind the 001 system...
Wei Ying knew that in this critical moment of chaos, as the main force for breaking the deadlock, he must not lose his composure or panic!
However, the one trapped by the unknown power now is his dearest sister. If it weren't for her appearance, he would still be that humble child living under someone else's roof in Lotus Pier, instead of the famous and spirited Golden Core cultivator, Qiu Yue Han Jiang Wei Wuxian!
However, Wei Wuxian, a powerful figure renowned throughout the cultivation world, was helpless in the face of the strange changes that had recently occurred to his elder sister, Wei Chaoyan!
It turned out that nine days ago, Lan Wenjing and the others, who had gathered at the Wei residence in Yiling, had discussed their respective roles and subsequent plans with Wei Ying and the others. After they dispersed, they went straight back to the open-air blood pool in the Demon Subduing Cave, preparing to go into seclusion to sort out the results of Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's Golden Core tribulation.
After spending only one night in the mass grave, Qi Ye urgently summoned him back to the Wei residence via his personal communicator.
The two rushed back through the portal. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, Qingyan, who was guarding there, grabbed them and charged straight into Wei Chaoyan's Xizhi Xiaozhu, ignoring the closed wooden door and rushing into Wei Chaoyan's master bedroom!
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, who were being dragged by the arm and forced to stagger and run without knowing why, were about to reprimand Qingyan for his inappropriate behavior when what caught their eyes even faster than words was Wei Chaoyan, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper, whose cheeks were covered in cold sweat, whose delicate and long eyebrows were furrowed, and who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed!
At that moment, Wei Ying, whose legs were weak and collapsed to the ground, truly felt that the world was collapsing before him and all things were about to perish!
With the fastest speed he could muster, Wei Ying shook off Qingyan's hand and collapsed in front of Wei Chaoyan's bed. Trembling, he asked Qi Ye, who was standing by the bedside with a worried expression, "Ah... what's wrong with Sister? She was full of energy yesterday! How come she's like this today?"
"Get up, sister! This joke isn't funny!! You scared Aying... Waaah..."
Qi Ye replied in a low voice: "I don't know what happened either. This morning at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), my heart suddenly felt an extremely suffocating feeling, but it returned to normal in a moment. I had a bad feeling and got up abruptly. I looked inside myself several times but couldn't find the source of the problem."
"I don't know why, in this situation, I impulsively came to Xizhi Xiaozhu to find my older sister. And then..."
Qi Ye lowered his head and pursed his lips: "I knocked on the door for a long time, but my sister didn't answer. In a panic, I kicked the door open and found my sister lying face down on the ground, fully clothed, without moving!"
"I was shocked and rushed forward to help my sister up. Whether I channeled spiritual energy or probed her body with my divine sense, I couldn't find the reason why she was unconscious!"
Lan Zhan asked in a worried voice, "Have you found a doctor?"
Qingyan answered hoarsely, "We searched, we looked for doctors in the vicinity, and we even used the teleportation portal to go to the Lan, Wen, and Nie clans to find the most skilled doctors to come and consult, but all to no avail!"
"Where are they?" Wei Ying rolled his blank eyes, looked at the empty room, and asked in a deep voice.
"The chief physicians treated my sister all day, and they were quite exhausted and still couldn't find the cause, so I sent them back to their quarters to rest as soon as night fell!" Qi Ye pinched his aching brow with two fingers and explained helplessly, "I had no choice but to urgently recall you two!"
"Second Brother, you and Second Brother Lan are Golden Core cultivators, so you have a more accurate ability to detect the soul. Use your spiritual sense to see if Sister has a problem with her soul!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ying abandoned his intention to seek out several more medical experts. He directly reached out and grasped Wei Chaoyan's cool hand, closed his eyes, and extended his spiritual sense into her sea of consciousness, carefully examining her inch by inch.
At the same time, Lan Zhan also reached out and placed his hand on Wei Zhaoyan's forehead, making the same gesture as Wei Ying.
After a long while, the two, whose spiritual energy was almost exhausted, reluctantly opened their eyes, and a surge of disappointment and bitterness flowed from their eyes.
Seeing this, without the two needing to say anything more, Qi Ye and Qing Yan, who had been hoping for something, were utterly disappointed and understood that they had gained nothing!
"Sigh...!" With a long sigh, Qi Ye covered his face and asked in a sullen voice, "We can't find the root cause anywhere, so how can we solve the problem? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan naturally could not agree to this. Subsequently, with the help of Lan Wenjing, Lin Yingsu, Nie Changfeng, and other top doctors who rushed to the scene, as well as the assistance of many national experts urgently mobilized by the modern government through the live broadcast comments, it took two days of effort to confirm that Wei Chaoyan's coma was indeed due to a problem with his soul.
They managed to wake Wei Chaoyan, but were unable to eradicate the problem.
As time passed after she regained consciousness, Wei Chaoyan felt pain all over her body, even though she was not injured. At the most intense time, she wanted to roll on the ground, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Only when Qi Ye sat close to her could she find some peace.
When Wei Ying and the others, who were in a state of panic and had no other choice, discovered this, they almost burst into tears. After having a little free time, Wei Ying followed his most instinctive intuition and ran back to the Burial Mound.
After traversing several locations in the Burial Mound that evoked certain thoughts within a single day, Wei Ying pieced together a fragment of a broken magic array.
After Wei Ying drew this broken magic array in Wei Chaoyan's room, the effect was immediate. The pain on Wei Chaoyan's face, which was almost welded shut, disappeared instantly. However, perhaps because the array was too broken and incomplete, its effect was weak. Wei Chaoyan could not move more than three zhang away from it, and as time went by, the effect was visibly decreasing.
Therefore, Wei Ying and the others were in a hurry to complete this magic array in order to cure Wei Chaoyan's sudden illness.
However, this formation was too obscure and ancient, and the fragment of the formation that Wei Ying found was too small to deduce the complete formation pattern.
Wei Ying lacked sufficient knowledge of the native formations of the demonic cultivation world, so he could only rely on the profound and historically significant Gusu Lan Clan and Qinghe Nie Clan, finally finding a clue in a handwritten note from the Lan Clan.
It points directly to the fact that the Qishan Wen clan had relevant records of this magic array, and that it has many connections with the curse wall surrounding the current mass grave!
This is the main reason why Wei Ying and Lan Zhan appeared at the Qishan Nightless City Discussion Meeting, and the only reason why the two anxious people patiently sat in the Nightless City training ground, waiting for Wen Ruohan to return!
