Brother Gou was smiling affectionately at Jiang Yao. He wished he could stretch out his hand to touch her petite, adorable face, but alas, he could not even raise his hand.
Jiang Yao was crying her heart out, and he felt touched that she did. She might be a young girl, but she actually knew more than everyone gave her credit for. She was afraid of crying, but she was forcing herself to squeeze out tears, for she knew that that was the only way to save everyone.
The water levels in the Longevity Pond were slowly filling up, and it became clearer and clearer. As Jiang Yao's tears flowed into it, the crimson blood slowly faded away, replaced by a thick, white mist. The mist was filled to the brim with life force, and it encompassed the space that they were in.
Brother Gou and the others were engulfed within the mist, healing themselves up using the life force contained within.
Jiang Ning was feeling the life force contained in the air, and he was shocked that the mist was filled to the brim with it. He never expected Jiang Yao's tears to be as potent as they were, but he wasn't complaining. At this rate, everyone could come out alive, but certainly not unscathed. They would need time to heal their wounds.
Regardless, that was a worry for another time. The most important thing at the moment was to save everyone.
He asked Jiang Yao to stay with Brother Gou and everyone else, chatting with them and making sure they did not fall asleep. As for him, he would stand guard over them, and he checked on himself as well.
During the battle with the Demon King earlier, the ball of white gas in his dantian suddenly surged, granting him immense strength. He could go toe to toe with the dark energy the Demon King was radiating, and that was shocking to Jiang Hing.
It was the first time he ever felt that way, and it was the first time he found out he could use the white light in this way. He tried to use it once more, but weirdly enough, he couldn't even move them an inch. He didn't know how he should connect with the light in his body either.
He could feel the white light curling up into a ball in his dantian and just floated there quietly as if it was a harmless substance. However, when he went into the battle, the white light would activate and send him into a powerful frenzy.
If the Demon King hadn't escaped, Jiang Ning had a feeling he could have killed his greatest enemy, though he would have to sustain grievous injuries for it.
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to calm his soul down. It didn't take him long to enter the flow after that. He wanted to move the energy in his dantian around, but he failed. All he could do was feel their existence within him, but he couldn't even do anything about it.
