In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 391: Internal Conflict

Yue Mingxuan’s eyes remained silent and frightening.

He resembled a dangerous beast poised to leap forward and tear Rong Zishen into pieces.

But right now, he was incapable of doing it.

If Shang Qinghua had not been there to assist him moments ago, Yue Mingxuan probably would not have been able to force Rong Zishen back at all.

In the worst possible scenario, Rong Zishen would have killed him.

Yue Mingxuan did not doubt that possibility in the slightest.

Rong Zishen had always been a terrifying person.

He never cared about the lives of those around him.

That was why, when he killed Rong Qinglei back then, he had done so with such complete indifference.

Yue Mingxuan merely stared fixedly at Rong Zishen’s retreating figure.

It felt as though all the strength had been drained from his body.

In the next instant, he collapsed weakly.

There was no particular expression on his face.

There was no visible sorrow.

There was no visible grief.

Yet Shang Qinghua could clearly feel Yue Mingxuan’s pain.

Yue Mingxuan simply stood there, unable to summon even a trace of strength.

Shang Qinghua stepped forward and embraced him, lifting his already slender body into his arms.

He had always been light, but now he had become so thin that it made one’s heart ache.

Yue Mingxuan said nothing.

Nor did he struggle.

That feeling of powerlessness lingered for a very long time, until it eventually caused him to lose consciousness and fall asleep.

And during the time he remained unconscious, the cultivation technique within his body continued operating without pause.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery, which had been trapped at a bottleneck for a very long time, suddenly seemed to go mad.

It circulated frantically throughout his body.

Even his body itself seemed to have slipped beyond his control.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery was gradually changing as well.

Only after Shang Qinghua carried Yue Mingxuan back into the room did he discover that something was seriously wrong.

Yue Mingxuan’s body was burning with an alarming heat.

Yet his dantian and the point between his brows were as cold as ice.

Shang Qinghua knew very little about medicine.

Even so, seeing Yue Mingxuan in this condition was enough for him to realize that the situation was far from good.

"Mingxuan, what’s wrong with you?"

Shang Qinghua gently patted Yue Mingxuan trying to wake him.

However, Yue Mingxuan showed no reaction whatsoever.

He remained deeply asleep as though he had simply fallen into an ordinary slumber.

There was nothing unusual about his appearance.

He merely slept on and on as though he would never wake up again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shang Qinghua immediately summoned Xie Yunlan.

Although Xie Yunlan took his orders directly from Yue Mingxuan, the moment he saw Yue Mingxuan’s condition, he instantly understood why Shang Qinghua had called for him.

Less than two hours later, Gongsun Xing was brought over.

At the time, Gongsun Xing had only recently gotten married, so he was quite surprised when he saw Xie Yunlan arrive.

After listening to Xie Yunlan’s description of the situation, he did not waste a single word.

He immediately followed him.

Wang Jian had been somewhat reluctant at first, but he also understood the seriousness of the matter and came along as well.

No matter what, Yue Mingxuan was a great benefactor to both him and Gongsun Xing.

Without Yue Mingxuan, there was no way he and Gongsun Xing could have ended up together so smoothly.

He was not the type of person who accepted kindness without repaying it.

Because of that, he cared deeply about anything related to Yue Mingxuan.

"How is Mingxuan now?"

When Shang Qinghua finally saw Gongsun Xing arrive, the burden weighing on his heart eased considerably.

With Gongsun Xing here, it felt as though more than half of Yue Mingxuan’s life had already been saved.

"His condition is indeed very troubling."

Gongsun Xing shook his head.

At first glance, it resembled cultivation deviation.

Yet at the same time, it clearly was not cultivation deviation.

Yue Mingxuan’s body was currently trapped in an extremely strange state.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery was a cultivation technique aligned with yin energy, which was why only women and Ger were capable of cultivating it.

If a man attempted to cultivate it, this kind of situation would occur without exception.

But Yue Mingxuan was different.

His body possessed an Extreme Yin Physique, making him exceptionally suited for cultivating the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

It was almost as though the technique had been created specifically for him.

Even so, there was still a possibility that Yue Mingxuan could suffer cultivation deviation while practicing it.

A large amount of internal energy had already existed within his body from the beginning.

However, that internal energy could not be completely controlled by him.

Previously, during his sparring sessions with Li Xunhuan, he had managed to refine a portion of it.

That in itself was very strange.

Those energies had clearly existed within his body all along.

Yet they did not obey his commands.

Such a thing was truly bizarre, Gongsun Xing explained.

And it was precisely because of this that Yue Mingxuan’s body had developed such a severe rejection reaction.

The internal energy that had originally resided within him had begun rejecting the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

It was also rejecting Yue Mingxuan’s own consciousness.

"I have practiced medicine for many years, but this is the first time I have ever encountered a case like this."

Gongsun Xing’s expression finally grew solemn.

After hearing Gongsun Xing’s explanation, Shang Qinghua felt as though he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

Then his Mingxuan...

Was his Mingxuan really going to die like this?

So many hardships and dangers had failed to take Yue Mingxuan’s life.

Yet now a single cultivation technique could so easily kill him?

Shang Qinghua refused to believe it.

The internal energy had been cultivated by Yue Mingxuan himself.

The Ninefold Celestial Mystery had also been cultivated by Yue Mingxuan himself.
