Chapter 467 - The Jade of Spiritual Enshrinement
Chapter 467 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts with thrilling twists: Su Qiyun chose to confront the âNight Attackâ; of course, she wouldnât do so simply... Continue the story!
Su Qiyun chose to confront the âNight Attackâ; of course, she wouldnât do so simply to seek death.She must have had something to rely on, and it was only after running out of other options that she decided to take this risk.
Everyone had merely met by chance in the Forest Sea Source Realm and had cooperated briefly; they got along fairly well.
But that was all.
Su Qiyun had made her decision, and Jiang Wang had no reason to interfere.
He simply watched, along with Wu Quji, as Su Qiyunâs silhouette faded into the night.
Bang!
Su Qiyun suddenly collapsed.
She couldnât resist the drowsiness, and the moment she stepped out of the range of the Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance, she fell asleep.
She had not even left their line of sight.
Wu Qujiâs eyes were fixed on her.
Without turning his head, he simply asked, âShould we wake her up?â
Qing Jiuye once said, âAs long as someone who has fallen asleep is being watched, they wonât be assaulted.â
This was one of the methods the Senhai Holy Clan used to counter the nocturnal attacks.
But it only worked in the Divine Shade Land, as no one could stay awake during the outer night.
The Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance was obviously an exception.
However, the Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance, derived from the heartwood of the Divine Dragon Wood, was extremely valuable and could not be considered a common occurrence.
Under the influence of the Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance, both Jiang Wang and Wu Quji remained awake.
Jiang Wang also kept his gaze fixed on Su Qiyun, afraid that if both he and Wu Quji blinked at the same time, they would lose the âwatch.â
âWake her up,â said Jiang Wang, rising to his feet.
If she couldnât even resist the drowsiness, resisting the âassaultâ would be even more unlikely.
This was clearly not the result Su Qiyun had hoped for.
Both men kept their eyes on her, moving towards Su Qiyun with the Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance in tow.
Su Qiyunâs sudden slumber made them pay even more attention to the effect of the Divine Dragon Woodâs fragrance.
Previously, they were just being extremely cautious, concerned that the âNight Attackâ hadnât disappeared with the demise of Yan Xiao.
Now, Su Qiyunâs slumber had undoubtedly confirmed this.
âSu Qiyun.
Su Qiyun.â
âQiyun!
Qiyun!â
In her dazed state, Su Qiyun thought she heard someone calling her.
That voiceâŚ
it sounded so familiar.
Fish, is that you?
She called out in her heart.
She wanted to open her eyes and see Fishâs face, but her eyelids were too heavy, as if a mountain pressed down on them, and she couldnât lift them.
Is it you, Fish?
The voice continued, âQiyun!
Qiyun!â
âWake up, wake up!
You canât sleep!â
Su Qiyun struggled to keep her eyelids open.
Let me see you, where are you?
Let me hold you.
Where are you?
âQiyun!
Qiyun!
Donât sleep anymore, donât sleepâŚâ
Walking through the woods, she saw the empty, swaying dress.
With both daggers in hand, she danced among the snakes.
She exhausted all her intellect, poring over records and documents.
She gritted her teeth, fighting a life-or-death battle with Yan Xiao.
She had never cried.
She pinned up her hair, hiding her features.
She was not a man, but she aspired to outdo men.
She had to endure hardship, bear tears, she had to persevere.
But now, hearing this voice.
She felt anxious and distressed, struggling and aggrieved.
Her defenses collapsed in an instant.
Tears suddenly surged forth.
They rained down, a torrent of helplessness and pain.
Her eyesâŚ
burst open.
Su Qiyun opened her eyes and saw the faces of Jiang Wang and Wu Quji, confirming they were the two partners who had teamed up to kill Yan Xiao.
She sat up abruptly, looking around.
It was still in the Hanging Skull Woods, still in front of the wooden house.
There was no Fish.
Jiang Wang and Wu QujI looked at each other, not understanding why Su Qiyun had tears streaming down her face after waking up.
âJust now you didnât resist the sleepiness, we woke you up,â Jiang Wang explained, and then he asked, âWhat did you see?â
Su Qiyun shook her head, âI didnât see anything.â
She asked, âWas it you guys calling me all this time?â
âYes,â Wu Quji said, âWho else could it be?â
âDid your method not work?â Jiang Wang asked again.
They all tacitly didnât mention her crying.
Su Qiyun quietly wiped away her tears and took off a piece of round jade from around her neck.
The jade was beautifully crafted, with a frost-white color.
âThis is the Divine Thought Jade that my mentor passed on to me, it can split and lodge divine thoughts.
I was thinking that if I couldnât resist the sleepiness, I would split my divine thought and lodge it in the jade.
That way, I could stay awake until dawn.
I didnât expectâŚ
I fell asleep before I had the chance.â
Su Qiyun had faith in dividing her divine thought and lodging it in the jade, certainly feeling some certainty about it.
But she had fallen into a deep sleep the moment she stepped out of the range of the Divine Dragon Incense, without any time to react.
It is clear now that what Qing Jiuye said about no one being able to stay awake outside the Divine Shade Land at night without Divine Dragon Incense was not overstated in the least.
âThere was absolutely no chance to resist itâŚâ Wu Quji murmured.
When Su Qiyun was asleep just now, he observed her carefully.
She seemed to be in a normal deep sleep, perhaps a bit deeper, with no other abnormalities.
Of course, for a Transcendent Cultivator, such sudden âsound sleepâ itself was difficult to explain.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then asked again, âWhen you were asleep just now, did you hear, or feel, us calling you?â
Su Qiyun was silent for a while, then said, âIt seemed like I heard Fishâs voice.â
She wasnât certain of her tone.
Because FishâŚ
was already gone.
âWas it an auditory hallucination?
Maybe you also had a dream.
When thereâs something on your mind, it evolves into a dream after you fall asleep,â Wu Quji analyzed.
âPerhaps.â Su Qiyun thought about it and said, âI also heard another voice, a very unfamiliar one.â
âWhat was it saying?â Jiang Wang asked.
âIt seemed to beâŚ
go back?â Su Qiyun struggled to remember, âI canât recall clearly.â
This was very strange.
As a formidable Transcendent Cultivator, Su Qiyun wouldnât have hallucinations without reason.
If it was just a dream, dreaming of Fish made sense, but where did that unfamiliar voice come from?
Having a dream was a very common thing, but in the Forest Sea Source Realm, to fall asleep under the influence of the night and to immediately have a dream was something worth pondering over.
Falling asleep during the night in the Forest Sea Source Realm was certainly dangerous, but it also seemed to touch upon some kind of secret.
Thus, Jiang Wang asked, âIf you fall asleep again now, do you think you can wake up?â
Su Qiyun knew what he meant and thought seriously, âIâm not sure.
It was especially hard just after waking up.
I was conscious and wanted to open my eyes, but I couldnât muster any strength.
In the end, I donât know what happened, my tears came out, and then my eyes opened.â
She described her state at the time frankly.
Jiang Wang was somewhat inclined to have Su Qiyun try again.
To âlistenâ to those voices and determine if there really was someone communicating with her in her âdream,â or if it was just an ordinary dream.
The night had piqued his curiosity.
But he wasnât sure if this kind of deep sleep was easy to wake from, because he and Wu Quji had called her for a long time just now.
If she couldnât be awakened, then he and Wu Quji would have to watch over Su Qiyun all night until dawn.
For Su Qiyun, the Divine Thought Jade had already been proven unreliable, and if she slept again, sheâd be entrusting her life entirely to Jiang Wang and Wu Quji.
Could there be that level of trust?
She could simply be watched all night or not worry at all.
But to give a straightforward example, if danger struck, would Jiang Wang and Wu Quji risk maintaining their vigil during the crisis?
The trust was definitely not enough.
So, could the investigation into the true nature of the âNight Attackâ make her disregard everything?
After much thought, Su Qiyun finally bit her lip, âI can try.â
This undoubtedly required great courage.
Jiang Wang simply said, âYou can trust me.â
With that, he and Wu Quji got ready to retreat with the Divine Dragon Incense and watch Su Qiyun as she fell asleep again.
But at that moment, the Divine Thought Jade around Su Qiyunâs neck suddenly emitted frost-like light.
The red cord that held the jade untied itself, and the Divine Thought Jade began to float in the air, suspended and facing the three of them.
âSigh.â
A sigh sounded.
Su Qiyun quickly stood up, retreating next to Jiang Wang.
âItâs that voice!â she said cautiously.
