Longcheng.
Yinzu Headquarters.
Dongfang Mingyue frowned as she looked at the news from the entrance of the Huaxia Ruins, her face so dark it looked like blood would drip.
She was anxious, but the Yinzu had no one to send.
After all, someone had to be stationed in the Huaxia Ruins; otherwise, various villains would likely emerge.
Boom!
Just then, a deafening explosion resounded, and the entire Yinzu trembled.
Dongfang Mingyue was startled and rushed out of her office.
Upon arriving at the scene, she found it was a room specially approved by her for Yao Bao'er.
The room was nearly destroyed. Yao Bao'er lay in the rubble, spitting blood, her face ashen.
"Bao'er!"
Dongfang Mingyue rushed forward first, pulling Yao Bao'er out of the debris.
She subtly checked Yao Bao'er's condition and was surprised to find that her internal organs were injured, and the situation was quite grave.
The next moment, Dongfang Mingyue quickly took out a Great Returning Pill and placed it in Yao Bao'er's mouth.
After a moment's hesitation, she finally took out a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and put it into Yao Bao'er's mouth.
She had already examined Yao Bao'er's injuries. For such severe injuries, taking only one Great Returning Pill would at most relieve the pain but would not heal the wounds.
Even if she miraculously survived, she would likely be left with permanent damage.
Life was at stake, so she could not afford to be hesitant.
"What the hell, Sister Mingyue? Are you trying to blow up the headquarters..."
"Bao'er!"
Just then, a surprised voice called out. It was Ye Cangtian, who had just returned.
The loud noise had been heard far and wide, so he had rushed over, only to see Dongfang Mingyue among the onlookers.
However, as he spoke, he saw that Dongfang Mingyue was holding Yao Bao'er in her arms. In an instant, Ye Cangtian pushed through the crowd and went directly to Yao Bao'er's side.
"I've already given her a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, she should be fine," Dongfang Mingyue glanced at Ye Cangtian and said.
She knew that Ye Cangtian would be heartbroken to see Yao Bao'er like this.
Then, she handed Yao Bao'er over to Ye Cangtian and turned to the other members of the Yinzu, saying, "Restore this place!"
With that, Dongfang Mingyue left with Ye Cangtian and Yao Bao'er.
Yinzu lounge.
Ye Cangtian placed the injured Yao Bao'er on the bed and then looked at Dongfang Mingyue, a glimmer of confusion in his eyes.
She had kept Yao Bao'er in the Yinzu to treat Shangguan Yanran and Elder Long.
Why was Yao Bao'er at the Yinzu headquarters?
And why was she injured after a loud explosion? What had happened?
He desperately wanted a clear answer.
Meanwhile, sensing Ye Cangtian's gaze, Dongfang Mingyue understood his thoughts and immediately began to explain.
After a period of treatment, Shangguan Yanran had completely recovered and was now in seclusion for cultivation.
Elder Long's injuries had also eased considerably, and his cultivation had recovered to the Quasi-Heavenly rank, finally showing hope for complete recovery.
As for today's events, they had to be told from the beginning.
The Guangming Palace had risen forcefully and launched an attack on the Yinzu.
During this period, under the continuous attacks of the Guangming Palace, the Yinzu's casualties were steadily increasing.
Moreover, as time passed, the Yinzu's strength was being gradually eroded. This situation could not continue.
Finally, Dongfang Mingyue came up with a plan: to ask Yao Bao'er to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
If Yao Bao'er could successfully refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, then the Yinzu would continuously produce Heavenly-level experts, and at that time, resisting the attacks of the Guangming Palace would be no problem.
All of this was not impossible.
Yao Bao'er's talent in elixirs was considerable, and coupled with Dongfang Mingyue having a finished Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, it was theoretically possible to deduce the ingredients of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
Once these ingredients were deduced, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could be refined.
Therefore, Yao Bao'er began a series of research and quickly achieved some results.
As for today's explosion, although Dongfang Mingyue was not entirely sure, she could still guess that it was likely an alchemy furnace explosion during the refining process.
"Sister Mingyue, you guys are too reckless!"
"Throughout history, how many alchemy masters have there been? If the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill were so easy to refine, how could it be so difficult to find in the Huaxia Ruins..."
Hearing Dongfang Mingyue's words, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but frown, and said with displeasure.
"I had no other choice!"
"I can't just stand by and watch the soldiers of the Yinzu be worn down by the Guangming Palace! I had to try something, do you think I wanted this?"
Dongfang Mingyue immediately retorted when she heard this.
She knew that her actions were impulsive, but she also felt wronged!
"Sigh!"
Ye Cangtian glanced at her a couple of times and finally sighed.
He understood Dongfang Mingyue's predicament. If he were in her shoes, he would likely make the same decision.
Meanwhile, seeing Ye Cangtian fall silent, Dongfang Mingyue changed the subject and asked, "What are you back for, kid? Did something happen in Huaxia again?"
"Nothing happened in Huaxia."
Ye Cangtian glanced at her and continued, "I heard you've been having a tough time lately, so I came back to help you solve your problems."
"Ah?"
Dongfang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "I appreciate your good intentions, but what can you do now?"
Dongfang Mingyue admitted that with Ye Cangtian's return, she had another useful card in her hand.
Whether facing the undercurrents within the ruins or the Guangming Palace outside, he would be of great assistance.
However, this was just a superficial solution. Even with his powerful individual strength, Ye Cangtian could not change the overall situation. After all, as the saying goes, "many ants can kill an elephant."
"Heh, Sister Mingyue, you don't trust my abilities!"
"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll go back and rest."
Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and pretended to leave. Dongfang Mingyue frowned at this.
She knew that Ye Cangtian was joking with her, but at this time, she really wasn't in the mood.
So she snorted and said, "You brat, speak your mind, I'm telling you, I'm in a bad mood lately, and you'd better not provoke me!"
"This... Why are you so humorless!"
Ye Cangtian gave Dongfang Mingyue a displeased look and then said with a smile, "If you want to know the specific solution, just close your eyes!"
"You'd better not fool me, or I'll never let you off!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Dongfang Mingyue warned impatiently, and closed her eyes.
After about a few seconds, Ye Cangtian's voice came again, "You can open them now."
When Dongfang Mingyue opened her eyes again, the empty desk was filled with small white porcelain bottles. She was sure they contained pills.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's playful smile, she was stunned. She then picked up a small porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and poured the pill into her palm.
"This..."
Heavens!
Dongfang Mingyue was instantly dumbfounded. What she held in her hand was none other than the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill she had been longing for.
The next moment, Dongfang Mingyue thought of a terrifying possibility. The porcelain bottles on the table were all the same. Could they all be Nine Revolutions Golden Pills?
To verify, Dongfang Mingyue, not bothered by the trouble, checked them one by one.
Just as she had suspected, they were all Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
In an instant, Dongfang Mingyue stared at Ye Cangtian with a dazed expression.
After a long while, she swallowed and walked to Ye Cangtian's side, extending her graceful hand, and then pinched his arm fiercely.
"Hiss!"
Ye Cangtian gasped in pain. To be honest, he had been admiring Dongfang Mingyue's surprised expression and hadn't paid attention to her actions at all.
Moreover, he trusted Dongfang Mingyue completely and never believed she would attack him.
It was precisely this lack of preparedness that caused him to sweat profusely from the pain.
"Sister Mingyue, are you kidding me? I brought you so many pills, and this is how you repay me?"
