Xuan Xiao went from being young, energetic and majestic before to becoming old and weak.
The change between before and after was so great that Shen Lang almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, but it's just that most of the soul power has been consumed, and you can't die yet."
Xuan Xiao waved his hand and said hoarsely.
"My little lady has met Senior Xuan Xiao."
Lian Xing, who was beside Shen Lang, calmed down and quickly saluted Xuan Xiao.
"Boom boom boom!"
At the same time, the gate of hell above the sky was closing, making a roaring sound that shook the universe.
With a loud "bang" sound, the gate to hell closed completely and gradually disappeared from the sky.
The divine bird pattern on Lu Dongbin's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and his eyes glowed with bright golden light. Emperor Donghua occupied his body again and thanked Xuan Xiao in a deep voice: "This time, I would also like to thank fellow Taoist Tongtian for helping me get out of trouble in advance.
I owe you a favor."
Xuan Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the noble prince of the demon clan, please don't try to discredit me, a junior. I am not the all-powerful Tongtian Cult Master back then. I am just the reincarnation of the remnant soul of Tongtian Cult Master, and I am not worth mentioning."
"Xuan is willing to help you get out of trouble mainly for the sake of the Chosen One. I hope fellow Taoist Donghua can help the Chosen One next."
Xuan Xiao politely clasped his fists towards Emperor Donghua.
Originally, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of years for Emperor Donghua to break through the seal. In order to help Emperor Donghua escape, Xuan Xiao almost exhausted his own vitality and the thread of law, and by the way, he accelerated the fusion of Gonggong's arm for Ouyang Changfeng.
At the cost of this, Xuan Xiao's own soul power has been consumed to some extent, and his aura has also weakened to the extreme.
He thought very clearly that his combat power could not compare with that of Emperor Donghua who had a complete soul body, plus Ouyang Changfeng who had Gonggong's arm transplanted.
If these two people can help Shen Lang deal with Yuanshi Tianzun together, their combat power will be much higher than what they can exert alone.
After considering these things, Xuan Xiao chose to sacrifice himself to help Emperor Donghua and Ouyang Changfeng.
Emperor Donghua, who broke out of the confinement, did not disappoint Xuan Xiao. He used his own divine power to forcefully open the door to hell and return to the underworld.
Shen Lang had a sad look on his face. He could probably guess that Xuan Xiao had to pay a considerable price to help Emperor Donghua escape from trouble, but he didn't expect that Xuan Xiao would become as old as he is now.
Emperor Donghua said bluntly: "You don't need to be reminded repeatedly by fellow Taoist Tongtian, I will naturally do the same. Little friend Shen Lang is my half-sworn brother, and I should do my best to help you, not to mention that I don't want to see it."
This fairyland will turn into a wasteland."
"With these words from fellow Taoist, Xuan is relieved."
Xuan Xiao let out a long breath.
He had previously decided to help Emperor Donghua get out of trouble because Lu Dongbin was Shen Lang's sworn brother.
Although Emperor Donghua can dominate the physical body, Lu Dongbin in his soul consciousness will not be wiped out. Lu Dongbin can also control the physical body, and the two people's ideologies maintain an excellent balance.
Generally speaking, no powerful monk would dare to let his soul separate and retain an independent consciousness. Emperor Donghua's ability to accept Lu Dongbin's soul consciousness meant that he gave up part of his control, and the price was not low.
Emperor Donghua dared to retain Lu Dongbin's soul consciousness, which proved that he was indeed an emotional person, which was why Xuan Xiao believed in him.
Ouyang Changfeng also solemnly clasped his fists towards Xuan Xiao and said: "Senior Xuan Xiao and juniors will do their best to help Brother Shen, even if they are broken into pieces!"
"Yes, the people Shen Lang trusts are indeed quite reliable."
Xuan Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Shen Lang was moved and said: "How virtuous and capable is Mr. Shen, worthy of the two of you taking such a risk for me? In any case, I hope that everyone will be safe and sound after experiencing this disaster. Then we will have wine, talk, and have fun together."
"good!"
Ouyang Changfeng's eyes shone and he smiled.
Emperor Donghua laughed and said: "Hahaha, Shen Lang, don't forget to call me when the time comes."
"certainly!"
Shen Lang smiled and nodded.
"Oh, I hope I can live until that time..." Xuan Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, with a trace of undetectable helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Shen Lang noticed Xuan Xiao's lonely expression and couldn't help but suggest: "Senior Xuan Xiao, your physical condition is not good, why not let this junior treat you for a while?"
