Chapter 1094: Qi Destiny and Karmic Debt Running Wild

Yu Hongdou's gaze fell on the soldiers held at the edge of sabers and swords before him.

His eyes were calm, observing their every move.

Yu Hongjin didn't have the patience for such things. Controlling so many Lotus Flowers transformed into sabers and swords—that was all Yu Hongdou's doing, naturally.

In the application of Arts and Techniques, Yu Hongjin was far inferior to him. After all, there were truly very few situations where the methods of qi destiny could be used.

Even so, Yu Hongdou was certain that few people in this world would dare cross blows with Yu Hongjin.

He had seen the karmic debt within her.

Truth be told, even the Old Dragon King of the Tongtian River probably couldn't withstand that karmic debt!

Daoist Wuwei and Yu Hongjin locked eyes.

Ultimately, Daoist Wuwei chose to yield.

He let out a soft sigh and lowered his head.

...

"Immortal Master, are we really just letting them go?"

"If we don't, not only will you die, but I too will find it hard to escape a calamity."

"But what about Shangjing..."

"This poor Daoist will bear the consequences alone."

"Understood..."

One by one, the group passed through Yingfeng Valley.

Upon emerging, Tang Yuerong felt the immense relief of surviving after a catastrophe.

The rest of the group likely felt the same.

Meanwhile, the person who had saved their lives was currently sitting cross-legged atop the horse carriage, cradling a rather mismatched wine pot and taking massive gulps.

"Hah..."

Yu Hongjin wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth, gazing into the distance in seemingly high spirits.

From inside the horse carriage, Tang Yuerong asked, "Little Auntie, how did you know we were in danger?"

Yu Hongjin said, "Everyone on the road was talking about it. The Local Government even issued a wanted poster. I'm not deaf or blind, so how could I not know?"

She chuckled. "Hehe, so? I arrived just in time, right? Have you figured out what good wine you're going to use to thank your Little Auntie?"

Tang Yuerong gave a helpless smile. "When the time comes, I'll definitely find you the best wine in the world."

"You'd better keep your word."

"Naturally."

Yu Hongdou sat to the side, resting his chin in his hand.

Compared to Yu Hongjin, his eyes held a pure, utter bewilderment.

Indeed!

The bewilderment of not knowing what to do.

Most of the time, he pondered the meaning of his existence. Where was he to go? What was he to do? These questions could leave him sitting in a daze for an entire afternoon. Only Yu Hongjin's occasional teasing could snap him back to reality.

"Want a sip?" Yu Hongjin offered.

Yu Hongdou snapped out of his daze and repeatedly shook his head.

Yu Hongjin let out a soft scoff and went back to drinking by herself.

Yu Hongdou cast a sidelong glance at her. "Are you really okay? Can you hold out?"

Yu Hongjin narrowed her eyes. "Little Hongdou, you sure know quite a lot."

Yu Hongdou turned his head away. "I know your cultivation method is unique. It relies on circulating qi destiny and karmic debt to grow stronger. Although you can seize the qi destiny of others, if you rashly draw upon it and break the balance, you'll suffer a backlash. Your current condition is dangerous."

Yu Hongjin merely smiled. "What's so dangerous about it? I just brought it out to scare them a bit; I didn't actually use it. It was only for a moment. It's nothing."

She waved her hand dismissively, putting up a stubborn front.

Until she suddenly broke into a violent coughing fit the very next moment.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

She coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Yu Hongdou froze, then immediately circulated his energy to stabilize her injuries.

But Yu Hongjin pushed him away.

Because of that push, the chaotic, surging karmic debt didn't endanger him.

Yu Hongdou stared in shock. "You..."

Yu Hongjin promptly sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing.

The surging karmic debt and qi destiny calmed down a fraction, but it was merely a temporary fix.

Yu Hongjin knew clearly enough that she was in huge trouble!

Hearing the commotion atop the horse carriage, Tang Yuerong called out, "Little Auntie?"

But only a single sentence drifted down from the roof.

"I'm fine."

However, her voice sounded low and hoarse.

Yu Hongjin paused before adding, "Good niece, your Little Auntie still has things to do, so I won't be accompanying you any further. I'll come back and see you all later."

"Little Auntie, you're leaving?"

Before Tang Yuerong's words could fade, the horse carriage suddenly jolted.

By the time she stepped out of the carriage to look, Yu Hongjin was already gone, having vanished to who knew where.

.

.

"Cough, cough..."

Deep within the mountain forest.

Yu Hongjin coughed, her complexion growing increasingly pale and ghastly.

"Don't come any closer!"

Rebuked, Yu Hongdou stood far away.

His heart seized slightly. "In your current state, you have to find a way to resolve the chaotic surging of the qi destiny and karmic debt in your body!"

Yu Hongjin took a deep breath. "I know. I have a way. Just don't come over. Give me a few days and I'll be fine..."

Yu Hongdou could no longer bear to watch.

He simply declared, "I'm going to beg the Dragon Lord of the Tongtian River for help! Wait for me here!"

"Don't go!"

"You rebellious son, I told you not to go!"

But Yu Hongdou could no longer hear her.

To reach the Tongtian River as quickly as possible, Yu Hongdou used his Magical Power to travel the entire way. His figure was extremely light; with the support of an Art, he could fly through the air.

He dove headfirst into the Tongtian River, darting through the currents until he arrived at the Dragon Palace.

After he explained his origins, the Turtle Prime Minister was called forth, and he soon met with the Dragon Lord.

Upon hearing the situation, the Old Dragon King's heart skipped a beat. He stroked his dragon whiskers, momentarily stunned.

"I know of that red fish, but that karmic debt..."

The Old Dragon King also felt deeply troubled. The karmic debt inside that girl's body was a heavenly punishment sent down when the Human Sovereign tampered with the laws of the Mortal World in the past. As a Water God bound to the Human Dao, this was the absolute last thing he should be tainted by.

It could even damage his very foundations.

After a moment of thought, the Old Dragon King said, "This Lord is also powerless regarding that karmic debt. However, I can introduce you to someone. Perhaps he can help."

"Does this person have a method to deal with it?"

"He isn't afraid of death."

...

When the Turtle Prime Minister tracked down Mo Yuan, Mo Yuan was somewhat taken aback.

After all, making a trip from the Mortal World to Beicang was no easy feat. The Desolate Sea was fraught with danger on every front; a single misstep would cost one their life.

What could have made the Turtle Prime Minister make this trip personally?

"Yu Hongjin? Something happened to her?!"

Upon learning the news, Mo Yuan immediately set off for the Mortal World.

A True Dragon overturned the seas and soared into the clouds, arriving in the Mortal World in merely an instant.

A heavy downpour began to fall over the Tongtian River.

When dragon destinies collided, unusual phenomena were bound to occur.

The current Mo Yuan was no longer the same as before. Meeting with the Old Dragon King inevitably triggered anomalies due to the clash of their qi destiny and Dragon's Might.

"Where is she?"

Upon seeing him, Yu Hongdou hurriedly said, "I'll guide you there!"

No sooner had he spoken than he was snatched up by Mo Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived high above the clouds.

"Which direction?!"

Yu Hongdou stared blankly for a second before pointing.

"Over there!"

When Mo Yuan arrived at the location...

This stretch of mountain forest was already shrouded in karmic debt. The beasts and vegetation here exuded an aura of death, and all living creatures within a radius of over twenty li had long since fled, not daring to approach in the slightest.

Yu Hongjin's condition was grim!
