Ning Yitao originally thought that Duan Yushu was approaching Zhaocai to do something bad.
Unexpectedly, when Ning Yitao turned around, she saw that Duan Yushu was actually treating Zhaocai's injuries.
This really surprised Ning Yitao. She had no idea what was going on in Duan Yushu's mind. But still feeling uneasy, she shouted at him sternly:
"What on earth are you up to? Don't just inject strange stuff into Zhaocai's body."
Duan Yushu found Ning Yitao's wary look rather amusing. He drawled,
"You should be lucky. This fella is a dragon with the innate ability to foresee the future it wants to see."
Then, an unhidden look of anticipation appeared on Duan Yushu's face. He said,
"Although I'm about to see Lu Xuanzi soon, I just can't wait to catch a glimpse of her right now."
Indeed, for Zhaocai, as a member of the dragon clan, the innate ability to look into the past and foresee the future was inborn.
Duan Yushu didn't bother with Ning Yitao anymore. Zhaocai's injuries were too severe. Even though Duan Yushu had mended the damage to his body, he still couldn't wake up.
Duan Yushu wasn't annoyed. Even if Zhaocai was unconscious, he could activate the innate ability in Zhaocai's body by himself. He chose to see the scene after the formation was successfully set up.
The whole place fell into complete silence. Dark clouds roiled over the vast open ground, and the howling wind bent the tall trees in the forest. The atmosphere hinted that what was about to happen would not be simple.
As Duan Yushu channeled his evil qi into Zhaocai's body, a water curtain rose silently in the middle of the ground.
The water curtain created by Duan Yushu was huge, completely separating him from Ning Yitao.
Ning Yitao could only vaguely see Duan Yushu's figure through the water curtain, but it was blurry.
Ning Yitao was secretly glad that Zhaocai could absorb evil qi. Otherwise, Duan Yushu wouldn't have been able to save Zhaocai.
This time, Zhaocai had turned misfortune into good fortune and made a step forward in his cultivation. In the past, the water curtain Zhaocai could create was only as tall as a person. Now, it was as large as a cinema screen.
Unexpectedly, even after spending so much time with them, Duan Yushu still had such powerful strength at this moment. He was indeed a great demon.
However, it was also possible that Duan Yushu deliberately made the curtain larger. He wanted to make everyone present feel hopeless and tremble in fear of his power.
As Duan Yushu continuously channeled evil qi into Zhaocai's body, the scene on the curtain came to life.
When the scene started moving, the first thing that came into view was Lu Xuanzi.
Lu Xuanzi was lying quietly on the bed, with Duan Yushu standing beside her.
Excitement and anticipation welled up in Duan Yushu's eyes. This time, he didn't hide his emotions at all. The obsession he had held for so many years was finally about to come true.
Lu Xuanzi's eyelashes fluttered ever so slightly, but Duan Yushu immediately noticed something was wrong.
Lu Xuanzi was about to wake up.
The first thing he did was tug at his clothes. But when he looked down at his clothes, he frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
With a wave of his hand, his clothes changed into the ones he had worn when he was with Lu Xuanzi.
A rare look of shyness appeared on Duan Yushu's face.
Duan Yushu felt that only at this moment in all these years did he truly feel alive.
Lu Xuanzi was about to be resurrected.
This thought filled Duan Yushu's mind. He stared eagerly at Lu Xuanzi's face.
Then, the scene that Duan Yushu had been longing to see finally appeared.
Lu Xuanzi's eyes rolled, and her eyelashes fluttered more vigorously. She slowly opened her eyes.
Duan Yushu leaned in. He wanted to be the first thing Lu Xuanzi saw when she woke up.
But the next scene left Duan Yushu standing there stupidly.
The excited Duan Yushu wanted to embrace her, but was scared off by Lu Xuanzi's look.
After Lu Xuanzi was resurrected, when she opened her eyes, she just looked at Duan Yushu blankly.
Lu Xuanzi didn't recognize Duan Yushu.
Duan Yushu took a deep breath and forced a smile on his face. Although it was obvious at first glance that it was a fake smile.
Duan Yushu hesitated for a moment and said,
"Lu Xuanzi, it's me, Duan Yushu."
But Lu Xuanzi's look remained unfamiliar, which made Duan Yushu feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
After Lu Xuanzi took a look at Duan Yushu when she opened her eyes, she never looked at him again.
No matter how much Duan Yushu called her and tried to get her attention, Lu Xuanzi just ignored him as if she couldn't hear a thing. She didn't even want to spare him a single glance.
Lu Xuanzi sat up straight, got out of bed barefoot, bypassed Duan Yushu, and walked behind him.
Duan Yushu suddenly grabbed Lu Xuanzi's wrist. His voice tightened, and he asked hoarsely,
"Lu Xuanzi, where are you going?"
Duan Yushu never expected that the first thing Lu Xuanzi would do after waking up was to try to escape from him.
But he didn't have the courage to stop her.
If Lu Xuanzi hated him, it was understandable.
If he had arrived in time to save Lu Xuanzi, she wouldn't have died miserably at the city gate. Even now, Duan Yushu didn't dare to imagine how desperate Lu Xuanzi must have been at that time, facing the fear of death alone.
Duan Yushu felt as if all his strength had been drained away. He lowered his head dejectedly, not daring to ask for Lu Xuanzi's forgiveness.
In front of Lu Xuanzi, Duan Yushu could never say no to her.
Lu Xuanzi's expression was blank. She hung her head, seemingly lost in thought. But she firmly shook off Duan Yushu's hand.
After Lu Xuanzi walked away from Duan Yushu, her body began to change.
Her clothes were torn apart by her suddenly swelling body. She could do nothing but helplessly endure the rampaging evil qi in her body.
Duan Yushu noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to help Lu Xuanzi.
But as soon as he got closer to Lu Xuanzi, he was blown away by the violent airflow around her.
But Duan Yushu wasn't willing to give up. He stepped forward again and again, but each time he was knocked back.
Lu Xuanzi didn't know where this strange and overbearing power in her body had come from.
Duan Yushu could only watch helplessly as Lu Xuanzi's figure disappeared in the chaos once again.
Now, all Duan Yushu could see was that a new figure had appeared in the place where Lu Xuanzi had been standing.
The current Lu Xuanzi was two zhang tall, with fangs in her mouth, two black curved horns on her head, and a long scaly iron tail trailing behind her.
What was even more startling was that her whole body was covered with dark red demonic patterns, exuding an indescribable aura of killing. Her black body was surrounded by a dark mist.
Even more terrifying was that this monster was impatiently flicking its tail. Wherever the tail went, not a single blade of grass remained. Even towering trees could be easily snapped off by it.
And her next move took everyone by surprise.
Lu Xuanzi didn't seem to care at all. Instead, she suddenly turned her head and pounced on the corpses strewn all over the place.
