Watching Song Yun's departing figure, Chu Feng felt a complicated ache in his heart.
This girl was no saint in any absolute sense, but she had always been good to him.
Chu Feng believed that a person could be called a villain by everyone else in the world — but if they were good to you, then in your eyes, they were a good person.
Song Yun's illness was no trivial matter. Although the power of the formation had extended her lifespan, unless the disease was cured at its root, her life would inevitably come to an end — and that time might not be far off.
"Chu Feng, is Song Yun's illness very serious?" Eggy could sense the worry in Chu Feng's eyes and couldn't help but ask.
"Very serious. That Great Treatment Formation can only delay it — it cannot cure her at all," Chu Feng said.
"That serious? It seems she paid a steep price for that opportunity," Eggy sighed.
"Mm," Chu Feng confirmed.
"Grandmother's condition is worse than we expected too, isn't it?" Eggy asked again.
"Yes. Grandmother's situation is equally difficult to handle."
"However, that Divine Curse seems even more troublesome."
"Originally, through the Great Treatment Formation, I planted a method inside Grandmother's body that could awaken her."
"But after that Divine Curse appeared, it actually rendered my method ineffective," Chu Feng said.
"Regardless, the Great Treatment Formation still served some purpose."
"Don't worry too much. Grandmother is so powerful — there are few in the current martial cultivation world who could truly harm her, right?" Eggy said.
"Mm. There will always be a way to cure her."
"Eggy, let's head out too. We're going to the Ancient Tomb," Chu Feng said.
"You go ahead. This Queen needs to rest." As Eggy spoke, she opened the World Spirit Gate on her own and slipped into the World Spirit Space, actually going to rest.
Chu Feng rose to his feet and began searching for a teleportation formation to travel toward the Ancient Tomb.
But he quickly halted, projecting his consciousness into the World Spirit Space.
Whenever Eggy said she was resting before, she had always returned to the World Spirit Space to cultivate. But now she lay sprawled on the ground, fast asleep and completely still.
She wasn't merely tired.
The backlash from using her soul power earlier had left her far too weakened.
The furrow between her brows — which never smoothed — made it clear that Eggy was still suffering, even in slumber.
Although Chu Feng had used the Great Treatment Formation to treat her as best he could, he had only managed to ease the backlash. It still remained.
Eggy had barely used a fraction of her soul power, and it had already left her like this. If she had truly pushed herself to the limit, the consequences were unimaginable.
Chu Feng took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, and then gently lifted Eggy onto it.
The blanket was a treasure that could ease some of her pain.
But Chu Feng's eyes were still full of heartache.
"I'm not letting you use that power again for the time being."
He made a quiet resolve.
...
Meanwhile, the warship of the Ye Immortal Clan had also set off, sailing through a teleportation tunnel.
Many of the clan members were still unconscious, undergoing treatment.
But the powerful ones had all awakened.
Inside the grand hall, every high-ranking member of the Ye Immortal Clan had gathered.
Ye Xiancheng sat in the patriarch's seat.
His parents occupied the chairs on either side of him.
Yet aside from Ye Xiancheng himself, everyone kept their heads lowered in silence. Even his parents looked like children who knew they had done wrong.
"Now you understand my good intentions?"
