The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 173

Fu Sheng and the others were completely caught off guard by this situation and were momentarily at a loss. It was Xuan Ying who stepped forward and quickly said, "This place is not suitable for a breakthrough. Your Highness, you must leave quickly."

After saying this, he moved to take Ruan Li out, but Ruan Li stepped back to avoid his outstretched hand and turned into her original form with a spin.

At that moment, a golden long dragon emerged from the swirling stardust, and wherever it flew, the scattered dragon clan spiritual energy in the air, like fireflies, followed her as if the Milky Way trailed behind her.

Luo Qingci, sensing something wrong outside, immediately stood up and hurried towards the Dragon Clan's Sacred Land.

The Dragon Clan members stationed outside saw this and quickly chased after her. "Immortal Huai Zhu, what are you doing?"

Luo Qingci didn't have time to explain and simply left a message, "Your Highness is in trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qingci arrived at the entrance to the Dragon Clan's Sacred Land. Ignoring the rules, she pushed aside the guards and rushed inside. She could feel that Ruan Li's condition was very dire.

Just as Luo Qingci entered the third layer, she saw Ruan Li stumbling out. Her expression changed, and she leaped toward Ruan Li, urgently calling out, "Ah Li, don't be afraid."

Luo Qingci's anxious voice gave Ruan Li an indescribable sense of security. She looked up at Luo Qingci rushing toward her and instantly lost her strength, turning back into human form and falling straight down.

As she fell into the soft and slightly cool embrace she had anticipated, despite the intense pain she couldn't control, she still gritted her teeth and hugged Luo Qingci. She was anxious, aggrieved, and in pain, murmuring, "Master, I'm scared."

Her voice trembled and even choked up a bit, which made Luo Qingci's heart ache terribly. She understood what Ruan Li was afraid of. She held her tightly, saying, "Ah Li, don't be afraid. I'm here. Let's get out first."

Luo Qingci couldn't continue comforting Ruan Li. The spiritual power within Ruan Li was in chaos. The spiritual energy that had followed them was the remnant of the Dragon Clan's powerful beings, continuously drilling into Ruan Li's body. If this continued, Ruan Li would surely be torn apart.

Holding Ruan Li, Luo Qingci broke through the void and used a few teleportations to exit the Sacred Land. Since Ruan Li's breakthrough did not involve crossing a tribulation, Luo Qingci didn't need to avoid it.

She set Ruan Li down, raised her hand, and drew a circle around them. Instantly, an ice-blue spiritual barrier rose, enclosing them inside while she also sat down cross-legged.

Outside the spiritual barrier, the spiritual energy that had followed them was blocked and, after circling around for a while, retreated back into the Sacred Land.

Luo Qingci didn't have time to worry about that. The spiritual power inside Ruan Li was too violent and needed to be cleared immediately. The situation had far exceeded her expectations. When she raised her hand to meet Ruan Li's four palms, Luo Qingci's brows involuntarily furrowed.

The unbearable spiritual power inside Ruan Li finally had a place to be released, and it surged into Luo Qingci's body.

Even though Luo Qingci was prepared, she was still overwhelmed, her meridians aching severely, her face turning pale, and cold sweat pouring from her forehead.

She gritted her teeth and endured, trying to circulate the spiritual power within her body to help Ruan Li refine the excess Dragon Clan spiritual power.
