Eternal vanity
Chapter 61
Bai Chen only felt that this person had a decisive and murderous aura that only belonged to the strong!
Bai Chen could only think of one person due to the aura of loneliness!
The "Solitary Sword" ranked first on the list, known as the world's number one loner — Han Xing!
Han Xing instantly felt a kind of awe-inspiring sword intent rushing straight in front of him!
His whole person was like a sharp sword that had just revealed its edge. His every movement was light and casual, but his eyes were cold and ruthless, as if he had gone through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. There was only one person who could match him!
The peerless swordsman ranked second on the list, the terrifying Exalted Sword — Bai Chen!
Bai Chen felt that he didn't need to lie anymore. The other party must have recognized him, so he took a step forward and bowed. "Loner, Mr. Han Xing, I've heard a lot about you."
Han Xing's heart, which had been calm for a long time, finally stirred up ripples. He suppressed the urge to fight and invited them to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard.
"But the Moon Hall has been destroyed, and the Nine Super Clans have released news that the Exalted Sword is dead. What is this?"
Han Xing looked at Bai Chen's white hair and red eyes and asked doubtfully.
Bai Chen smiled and said, "I had some lucky encounters, so I didn't die."
Mumu emerged from behind Han Xing and said, "Are you really Bai Chen?
Wow, Brother Seven has picked up another treasure. "
Ling Qi and Han Xing were speechless when they heard this. They couldn't help but touch their foreheads.
Mumu smiled and said, "Brother Seven picked me up in the Imperial Garden. Later, he picked up the world's number one loner at the edge of the Imperial City. Now, he picked up the Exalted Sword. Brother Seven is indeed the best."
Bai Chen laughed and said to Ling Qi, "I remember that Gudu Ke has announced to the world that he is loyal to the Seventh Prince of the Suchen Empire, Ling Fan. Then you should be the Seventh Prince.
And Miss Mumu is Su Chen's little princess, Ling Mu, right? "
Mumu stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "Oh, I've been recognized."
Ling Mu revealed his identity with just a few words. If Bai Chen still couldn't guess their identities, then she would be really stupid.
Ling Fan seemed to be very uncomfortable. He coughed twice and said, "What Highness? It's all in the past. Just call me Ling Fan."
Bai Chen frowned and glanced at Ling Fan. He felt a very familiar aura coming from Ling Fan, but it didn't seem like it.
Han Xing said, "The late Emperor Su Chen passed away. The Seventh Prince didn't want to fight for the throne. In addition, his health was not good, so he lived in seclusion in the Sunset Moon Forest and ignored the mortal world."
"Anyway, wherever Brother Seven goes, Mumu goes."
Ling Mu smiled and then looked down. "It's just that Brother Seven's health is getting worse and worse recently. He fainted when he was a little tired."
Bai Chen felt that it was necessary to check Ling Fan's body. He had definitely encountered this aura before!
Bai Chen said honestly, "Can you let me take a look at His Highness's body?
I seem to have felt this aura somewhere before. "
Han Xing's eyes shone brightly. "Can you cure Ling Qi?
I've checked many times, but I couldn't find anything. "
Ling Fan stretched out his hand. His hand was pale and skinny, and one could even see the tendons and veins under it.
Bai Chen smiled and reached out to hold Ling Fan's wrist. He closed his eyes and checked.
Bai Chen deliberately used the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal. In front of such a god-level technique, all demons and ghosts would appear!
He didn't expect that just as he carefully checked Ling Fan's weak and damaged tendons and veins with his source energy, the result would give him a shock!
Inside Ling Fan's dantian, there was a black ball of light that was slowly sucking away Ling Fan's blood, Qi, and life force!
When it encountered Bai Chen's source energy, it shrank back in fear.
Ling Fan was weakening day by day because of this black ball of light.
Bai Chen finally knew why there was a familiar aura. It was a parasite poison!
Just like the Soul Devouring Parasite Poison that Yun Qingxiao was poisoned with, it was an extremely domineering and terrifying curse poison!
Although he couldn't name this parasite poison, it was essentially the same as the Soul Devouring Parasite Poison. They were both extremely domineering and difficult to neutralize.
This parasite poison wasn't as powerful as the Soul Devouring Parasite Poison. Instead, it absorbed the victim's source energy, blood, soul, and vitality bit by bit to strengthen itself. When the victim's life essence was completely absorbed by the parasite poison, the victim would die.
If it weren't for Bai Chen's special constitution and pure darkness source energy, he wouldn't have been able to detect this parasite poison. In other words, Bai Chen's darkness source energy could be considered the ancestor of parasite poisons. He also had the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal, which made it impossible for the parasite poison to escape. He could even suppress it.
Han Xing and Ling Mu saw Bai Chen's serious expression and their hearts clenched. They asked in unison, "How is it?"
Ling Fan was very calm and gentle. He retracted his hands into his wide sleeves, as if he had accepted life and death and had resigned himself to fate.
Bai Chen truthfully told them the results he had obtained.
Han Xing's brows furrowed. He said, "Parasite poison?
Is there a way to neutralize it? "
"Seventh Prince, this parasite poison was probably planted by someone a long time ago. Otherwise, it wouldn't have developed to this stage. His meridians are almost destroyed and his vitality is constantly draining. I'm afraid that he won't be able to hold on for more than a few days before …"
"This parasite poison is rather special. I've never seen it before. The victim won't die immediately. On the surface, he will be fine, but he will gradually weaken until his soul and vitality are completely devoured."
Bai Chen paused and looked at Ling Fan. Ling Fan was still smiling calmly, as if Bai Chen's words had nothing to do with him.
"Bastard!
Who did it!?
Brother Seven is such a good person. Why did they harm him!? "Ling Mu stood up angrily. Her eyes reddened unconsciously.
"Ling Qi lived in the palace before he left the imperial city. Therefore, the person who planted the parasite must be one of his bastard brothers!" Han Xing's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water. His words carried a hint of anger.
Bai Chen continued, "The situation is very critical. Seventh Prince has been deeply poisoned by the parasite. If this parasite poison isn't neutralized soon, it's possible that …"
Han Xing said anxiously, "Is there a way?"
They had watched Ling Fan become thinner and weaker day by day. Every day, they worried that he would really leave them one day.
They were both extremely important to each other. To Ling Mu, Ling Fan was the most important brother who loved him dearly. To Han Xing, Ling Fan was his savior who was worth everything. He was his confidant and brother!
As long as there was a glimmer of hope to snatch Ling Fan back from the hands of the King of Hell, Ling Mu and Han Xing would do it regardless of the cost. This friendship was very precious.
Bai Chen said, "There is a way, but it's very difficult."
Han Xing and Ling Mu's eyes lit up. It was very difficult!
It was not hopeless!
Bai Chen was sure that the parasite was very afraid of his dark origin power. If he used his dark origin power and the Nine Arts of the Fallen Immortal to seal or suppress the parasite, there might be a glimmer of hope!
"If you break half of your dantian to suppress the parasite, you might be stuck at your current cultivation level for the rest of your life. The process is very painful. Moreover, I only have a fifty percent chance of success."
Han Xing said, "Fifty percent is better than nothing. Ling Qi?"
Ling Fan smiled and said, "I had a feeling that my time was coming. If I can accompany Mumu for a few more days, I'm willing to suffer any hardship."
Ling Mu said hesitantly, "Brother Seven …"
After all, after the late Emperor passed away, Ling Mu, who lost his mother at a young age, only had Ling Fan left.
Bai Chen said to Ling Fan solemnly, "With my ability, I can only suppress the parasite for two years. If I haven't found a way to cure it by then, then …"
Bai Chen didn't say it, but the three of them understood.
They would die without a doubt!
"Okay, then let's start immediately. We can't delay this any longer.
Han Xing, protect me. It's best if no one disturbs me.
Leave the rest to me. "Bai Chen helped Ling Fan up and entered the wooden house.
He had a fifty percent chance of success. After all, the pain of having his dantian shattered was no less than the pain of having his heart pierced by a sword in his previous life.
Han Xing circulated his origin power and nodded solemnly. Green light flashed continuously.
Ling Fan smiled helplessly and said, "Sigh, don't worry about me. I'll be fine this time."
Ling Mu's tears fell like a broken string of pearls, but he smiled and said, "Brother Seven."
Thousands and thousands of words were contained in this one call.
Ling Fan nodded and entered the wooden house with Bai Chen.

At the same time, in the capital of the Daliang dynasty, Jiu Qi City.
"Bai Qing, keep up. Don't get lost." Bai Chuchu frowned and pulled the brim of his hat.
The brightly lit main street of Jiu Qi City was bustling with noise and the sound of hawking filled the entire imperial city. People coming and going had joyful smiles on their faces. The warm light reflected on Bai Ling's pale and stiff face had a hint of gentleness.
Yun Qingxiao laughed unhurriedly. He quickened his pace and bypassed the crowd. He caught up and asked, "Why is Jiu Qi City so lively today?"
Bai Ling turned his head stiffly and said, "Today is the Daliang dynasty's God's Prayer Ceremony. It is held once every three years and is very grand. It can be said to be one of the most important festivals of the Daliang dynasty."
Bai Chuchu raised her head and looked straight at the cold moon in the sky. She suddenly stopped and stood in place.
"Daliang worships the heavens and reunites all families." Bai Chuchu said quietly. The cold moon in the sky was surrounded by clouds and mist. It was lonely and desolate.
Now, all families were reunited, but her family was no longer here...
They would never come back.
Brother, father, Chuchu misses you so much. I miss you so much...
Yun Qingxiao was stunned. He saw that Bai Chuchu's eyes were slightly red. A line of tears flowed down her cheeks and fell to the ground.
Although he was under the illumination of the human world, Yun Qingxiao could feel a lonely and sad aura around him.
Yun Qingxiao knew what Bai Chuchu was thinking. He felt very guilty. It was he who caused her to be forced to wander around. It was he who caused her to be alone and not know where her home was.
She did not know that the person in front of her was the enemy she hated to the bone - Yun Qingxiao.
"Here."
When Bai Chuchu came back to her senses, her white jade-like face was already sobbing. Her eyes were full of tears as she looked at Yun Qingxiao handing her a small piece of sweet cherry cake in the oiled paper bag.
Yun Qingxiao revealed a smile like a spring breeze. His handsome face immediately made people feel happy. He said softly, "Don't cry. Flowers bloom forever. There will be a time when we meet again."
"If you can't help it, then cry to your heart's content."
After Bai Chuchu heard this, she could no longer hold back her tears. Big drops of tears fell as she sobbed and wailed.
Yun Qingxiao smiled and stuffed a small piece of sweet cherry cake into Bai Chuchu's mouth.
"Bai Qing, you're using my money to buy food again …" Bai Chuchu's mouth was stuffed full of sweet cherry pancakes, and she sobbed as she spoke. "Bai Qing, you're using my money to buy food again …"
Yun Qingxiao sighed helplessly. He gently reached out and wrapped his arms around Bai Chuchu's delicate and trembling shoulders. It was as if he did not know that he was taking advantage of her.
"The emperor worships the heavens!
The silver moon shines together!
Great Liang will prosper! "
Accompanied by a loud and clear phoenix cry, dazzling fireworks instantly blossomed high in the sky!
Then, countless beautiful fireworks bloomed, illuminating the night sky, illuminating you and me!
Dispelling the dark clouds, the moonlight shone brightly!
