Intense beams of light then refracted from all directions.
They were all reflections from mirrors.
Qi Yu scanned through the multitude of light beams, the surrounding temperature gradually rising.
Yu Yuan worried that the refraction from so many mirrors might set the lawn ablaze, so he snapped his fingers. A subtle chill continuously emanated from him, and dark clouds in the corner of the sky were always prepared to extinguish any flame the moment it sparked.
Qi Yu kept her eyes tightly shut, still searching.
Using the mirrors behind her, she and Si Qing faced off against one refracted beam after another.
After searching for a long time without success, Qi Yu recalled that she had split the Yan Zhen Mirror in two. Her movements suddenly paused, and then she separated the now-recombined Yan Zhen Mirror once more.
She changed tactics, having herself and Si Qing face each other, allowing the two mirrors to reflect each other.
Soon, Qi Yu discovered that the Yan Zhen Mirror, when split in two and reflecting each other, would transform into a Xiàn Shì Mirror.
And within the Xiàn Shì Mirror, the Hui Guang Mirror was located at the deepest part of the Evil Cold Hell.
"..." Qi Yu touched her chin and stood up. "Wait for me, I'll go catch it."
Si Qing rolled up his sleeves and followed to help enter the Evil Cold Hell.
Yan Hua and Chen Xi followed closely behind.
Jin Yan also wanted to join the fun, but Yu Yuan whipped him back with his tail.
"Why are you going to join the fun? Don't you see you're needed here? The West Sea Dragon King's power is limited and won't last much longer."
Jin Yan rolled his eyes.
But he did stop.
The West Sea Dragon King, currently focused on his own cage, hadn't heard what Yu Yuan was saying.
It wasn't until Yu Yuan walked over, moved him aside, and infused Chu Xian with stronger magical power that the West Sea Dragon King and his wife came back to their senses, expressing their profuse gratitude.
Less than half an hour later.
Qi Yu emerged from the Evil Cold Hell, holding a mirror in her hands, followed by a large group.
The so-called Hui Guang Mirror was not as magnificent as imagined; it was merely a very simple mirror.
Small and round.
As Qi Yu held it, the Hui Guang Mirror twitched restlessly, as if trying to escape.
The West Sea Dragon King hurried forward and, upon seeing the mirror, his face lit up with joy, but then he became worried. "Will it really work? I can pay any price, but I don't know if there will be any other problems afterward. Will my son still be in pain after using it?"
The West Sea Dragon King didn't dare to touch Chu Xian now.
"After being illuminated by the Hui Guang Mirror, your son should recover completely, just as he was before. However, I've thought of another solution for now." Qi Yu held the Hui Guang Mirror with both hands, pondering. "The reason the Hui Guang Mirror requires a price is mainly because the mirror has its own will. It believes people are wicked and inherently greedy."
"But honestly, our current situation isn't very good. Chu Xian just said someone wanted to seize his body, and that hasn't been cleared up yet. If the West Sea Dragon King is also severely injured, it will be very disadvantageous to our current situation. Therefore, in special times, we need special treatment. I want to save Chu Xian without paying a price."
"How can that be done?" Si Qing looked at Qi Yu.
"We'll take the Hui Guang Mirror as a magic artifact," Qi Yu mused. "We'll temporarily subdue it and control it. Then, when we rescue Chu Xian, the West Sea Dragon King won't need to pay a price."
Because spiritual artifacts and magic artifacts have owners, they must obey the owner's will.
Si Qing touched his chin.
"Although this action is a bit immoral, if the ones who acted were the Blood Demon Fiends of the Thirteenth Heaven, it proves they have some plan, and they might have already acted. At this point, injuring the West Sea Dragon King would be the worst possible outcome."
After all, at this moment, one more person meant one more helper.
Yan Hua listened for a while and nodded. "That makes sense. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. However, subduing the Hui Guang Mirror won't be easy. With the combined power of our four individuals, Chu Xian can only hold on for three more days at most."
Jin Yan raised an eyebrow. "I suddenly feel something is wrong. Weren't two people lost? Chu Xian is back, but what about Jing Xiu?"
