Joohyun felt chilled in her limbs. She stumbled and fell down beside Elder Wu. Her trembling hands didn't dare to touch the limp body on the ground.
"Old Man?" Joohyun's choked voice was filled with fear.
"I'm not dead yet." Elder Wu suddenly turned over and sat up from the ground.
"Old Man!" Joohyun was even more surprised at his reaction. Then she complained with tears and laughter, "You scared me to death."
Lisa, who was standing behind Joohyun, surveyed Elder Wu's condition and frowned. He wanted to say something, but seeing Joohyun's surprise, he finally just pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
"Are you crying?" Elder Wu smiled weakly. "The last time I saw you cry was when you were in primary school, when I scared you to keep you from studying."
"You are still in the mood to talk about this. How do you feel? Is there any discomfort? I'll take you back to rest." Although the Old Man's body seemed to have suffered little trauma, his complexion was ghastly white. Joohyun was not at ease.
"There's no need to go to such trouble." Elder Wu stopped Joohyun and said, "In a moment or two, the ghost messengers should be here."
Joohyun stiffened from supporting Elder Wu. She turned her head incredulously and looked at him: "What did you say?"
"Irin." Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Lisa reached out and pressed Joohyun's shoulder.
"What ghost messenger?" Joohyun did not move, looking fixedly at her grandfather.
"Stop lying to yourself. You should be able to sense that I'm already losing my vitality." Elder Wu sighed.
"Don't be afraid. I know a forbidden technique. I will help you to snatch your vital qi back," Joohyun said. She was about to mobilize her spiritual power, but her magic technique had only just taken shape when Lisa reached out to block it.
"Third Brother?" Joohyun turned around in confusion.
Lisa's eyes brimmed with distress, but he still shook his head and said, "It's useless."
"How do you know it's useless if you don't try?" Joohyun shook off Lisa's hand and stubbornly wanted to use the forbidden technique.
"Girl, don't waste your energy. It's useless." Elder Wu sighed. "You have also seen the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique. You know very well what the cost is, don't you?"
"You still have the nerve to mention the Profound Fiend Purification and Destruction Technique. What did you promise me before? You promised me that you would not use it. You promised me that you would not act the lone hero. With so many Celestial Masters here, why did you meet with a mishap?" Joohyun angrily questioned, shedding tears uncontrollably as she spoke.
The bigwigs around noticed that Elder Wu's vital qi was gradually fading away. Seeing Joohyun's heartbroken tear, they unknowingly express their sympathy.
"Grandpa is not being a hero. I was just taking revenge." When Elder Wu uttered the word revenge, a pleasant expression surfaced on his face. "I have waited for twenty years. I thought I would never have this opportunity again."
"What?" Joohyun was a little puzzled.
"Wu Li, you haven't forgotten Miaomiao." For the first time, Yan Chongming asked Elder Yan calmly without going at him tit-for-tat.
"Asshole, cough... Is Miaomiao someone you can just call?" As if his reverse scale was touched, Elder Wu angrily jumped up from the ground.
"You..." Yan Chongming reflexively wanted to return the favor, but considering that he was now a dying man, he held himself back.
