Chapter 406: Ye Shiyuan Disappears

Although this technique was only a single move, its power was extraordinary. It absolutely could not be used unless the situation had become truly desperate.

It hurts the enemy by a thousand, while causing yourself eight hundred points of damage. With a technique like this, once it was used, either you died or I died.

"Master, do not hold onto me. It hurts." Bai He released Xu Feng and asked, "Do you know about The Goal of All Life Is Death?"

"I remember. I know. This is one of the highest-level sword techniques. The stronger the user’s abilities, the greater the power of this technique. However, after using it, the user will temporarily lose their cultivation for a short period of time." Xu Feng immediately understood. "Master, are you saying that Senior Brother used The Goal of All Life Is Death?"

As Xu Feng’s questioning voice ended, a violent explosion had already occurred on the arena. After the white smoke disappeared, it seemed that nothing could be seen.

The entire scene was completely silent and there was not even the slightest sound.

Bai He anxiously looked toward the arena and hurriedly said, "Mo Zhu, hurry."

Mo Zhu immediately understood what Bai He meant and allowed Bai He’s eyes to see through the scene inside.

Where was Ye Shiyuan? Why could he not be seen? Not only was Ye Shiyuan nowhere to be seen, why was Qin Tao also missing?

Bai He no longer cared about looking at the result of the match. Even if everyone ultimately assumed that Ye Shiyuan had lost, he could no longer care about that.

Bai He immediately jumped onto the arena.

"Shiyuan, Shiyuan..." He kept calling Ye Shiyuan’s name, but there was not the slightest response.

Bai He’s eyes felt somewhat sore. Ye Shiyuan... would he be alright? He wanted Ye Shiyuan to win, but if the price he had to pay was something like this, then what meaning would winning have?

"Shiyuan..."

Xu Feng came to stand in front of Bai He. "Master, calm down."

"Xiao Feng, Shiyuan is gone."

"Yes, Senior Brother is gone, and Senior Qin Tao is gone too. Let us go back first and discuss this properly with Zhang Hao."

Bai He was in a daze as Xu Feng led him back. Even after returning to the ninth room, he still had not come back to his senses.

Xu Feng poured Bai He a cup of tea and said, "Master, drink some tea first. Zhang Hao will be here soon."

"Why did this happen? Xiao Feng, do you know?"

"Master, I..." Bai He knew that he was putting Xu Feng in a difficult position. They had come to this place together, so if there were things that Bai He did not know, how could Xu Feng possibly know?

"Host, stop worrying. If Ye Shiyuan had died, all your missions would have automatically ended, and this world would have disappeared completely. Since everything here is still perfectly fine, that means the male lead is still alive."

Bai He had been too anxious just now, so he had not thought of that. Now that he had heard Mo Zhu’s words, he was indeed slightly relieved.

"Mo Zhu, investigate where Ye Shiyuan went immediately. I want to know right now."

"Host, please do not make things difficult for me."

Mo Zhu indicated that Bai He could not be this willful.

Bai He had always been somewhat willful by nature. The news that Ye Shiyuan had disappeared filled him with nothing but panic.

"Host, what I can confirm right now is that Ye Shiyuan is still alive. Other than that, I cannot guarantee anything."

Mo Zhu simply refused to tell him where Ye Shiyuan had gone.

...

The ninth floor.

Xu Feng hurriedly ran in from outside and Zhang Hao came running in with him.

"Master."

"Did you find Shiyuan?"

"Master, Senior Qin Tao seems to be on the first floor."

Bai He immediately rushed out and headed toward the first floor. Qin Tao had returned. Did that mean Ye Shiyuan had returned as well?

He stood at the entrance, feeling somewhat nervous, but he still gathered his courage and knocked on the door.

This time, the door opened.

"Little boy, you really did come."

"Where is Shiyuan?"

"He..." Qin Tao paused for a moment before turning around and walking inside. "Come with me."

Bai He did not hesitate and followed him without another word. If there was anyone in this world who knew where Ye Shiyuan was, it had to be Qin Tao.

Following Qin Tao, he walked into the room.

They walked for quite a while before finally arriving at the entrance of a room.

"That kid is inside. He is really troublesome. I have never seen anyone who cares so little about his own life."

"Shiyuan just wants to win."

"You certainly speak up for him."

Bai He was stunned. It seemed that this had already become a habit.

"Is he alright?"

"I cannot use The Goal of All Life Is Death, so how would I know whether he is alright?"

Bai He walked into the room and saw Ye Shiyuan lying there. He was completely motionless, without any reaction.

"Shiyuan?"

"Stop calling him. He will not wake up."

"Is he injured? I still have plenty of medicine here."

Qin Tao was also somewhat puzzled. "I already examined him. He is not injured. As for his exact condition, I do not know either. After all, I am not particularly proficient in this area."

Qin Tao had not left this place for a very, very long time. He had barely even seen anyone... Being completely isolated from the outside world inevitably meant that there were many things he did not know.

Since even Qin Tao could not figure out what was wrong, Bai He could only examine him himself.

With Mo Zhu’s help, before even the time it took to burn an incense stick had passed, Bai He withdrew the spiritual power surrounding Ye Shiyuan.

He then let out a slight sigh of relief.
