Captain Wu's eyes lit up as he gave me a thumbs up, praising me enthusiastically.
He then walked over to those people, drawing their attention, while I took this opportunity to bring the Paper Man to life.
Now, three red dots had gathered on my chest. According to Xiaomei, I could freely manipulate the hidden power within my body.
I distributed this power among the Paper Men, sending them closer to the members of the Ghost Gate Cult.
At that moment, the Ghost Gate Cult members were engaged in a fight with Captain Wu and were completely oblivious to the presence of the Paper Men. I seized this chance to rescue the captured individuals, placing them aside while the Paper Men transformed into their likenesses, becoming their substitutes.
I snapped my fingers at Captain Wu. Upon hearing it, he smiled at me and removed the paper clothes he was wearing, tossing them toward the Ghost Gate Cult members.
In an instant, a spark erupted as the paper clothes turned into swirling black mist, enveloping the Ghost Gate Cult members.
Captain Wu approached and said, "Little brother, let's quickly get them to safety. I'm afraid this black mist won't hold for long."
I nodded and followed Captain Wu as we led these people toward the large tent.
"Wait," I said, grabbing Captain Wu's arm.
He looked at me in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Don't let them in?"
I shook my head. "There's a barrier set up here. If we just rush in, they'll die. We need to wait a moment."
After saying that, I instructed Captain Wu to step back with these people. I summoned my energy to open the barrier, and a sphere of light appeared before us.
The light slowly receded to both sides, creating a path in the middle. I turned around and gestured for Captain Wu to lead them inside.
Captain Wu nodded and was about to lead the person inside when Xiaomei, with a cold expression, walked out. In an instant, her true form as a fox revealed itself.
I was taken aback and didn’t have time to react as Xiaomei's nine tails lunged at me fiercely. Without any defense, I was knocked to the ground by her tail, blood appearing at the corner of my mouth. I knew Xiaomei was angry with me, so I didn’t call Captain Wu over.
"You can vent your anger for Ruoxi, but don’t hurt them. If you want to hit something, take it out on me; just don’t harm anyone else," I said.
Xiaomei’s expression darkened even further. She directly bound me with her tail and dragged me away to another location.
Once we arrived, Xiaomei unceremoniously threw me down, causing me to wince in pain.
"How can you be so cruel? You are supposed to be my guardian spirit," I couldn’t help but snap at Xiaomei. I had thought she would show some mercy since I was her protector, but it seemed she had no humanity at all. It appeared that a woman could be terrifying when she got angry.
Xiaomei rolled her eyes at me and said coldly, "You don’t deserve my mercy."
With that, she unleashed her nine tails towards me again. Having learned the power of her tails, I quickly dodged to the side.
I couldn’t harm Xiaomei, so I could only defend against her attacks, which was quite exhausting.
"Fight back! Let me see how strong your energy really is; or are you still the same?" Xiaomei mocked me.
I wasn’t angry; I understood that her actions were meant to vent her frustration for Ruoxi.
After a while of this back-and-forth, Xiaomei grew bored and stopped, but her gaze remained fixed on me. "I really can’t tell if you’re genuinely foolish or just pretending. It’s clear what I said, yet you still don’t understand."
With that, Xiaomei turned and walked toward the direction of the tent.
I looked at Xiaomei's back in confusion, feeling that her earlier words carried a hidden meaning, but I couldn't decipher it. So, I decided to follow her into the tent.
Once inside, I realized the tent was quite spacious, divided into several areas. At that moment, Captain Wu approached me and said that he had already settled those people.
I nodded and thanked him before heading towards where Ruoxi was. Captain Wu followed closely behind me. Upon entering, I saw Xiaomei channeling energy to Ruoxi.
I walked over silently, waiting for Xiaomei to finish. After a while, she finally withdrew her hands.
I cautiously asked Xiaomei how Ruoxi was doing now.
Xiaomei shot me a glare without saying a word and then left the room. Captain Wu noticed and hurried after her.
I glanced at them but didn't pay much attention, redirecting my focus to Ruoxi, who lay on the bed. A wave of guilt washed over me again.
Taking a deep breath, I sat beside Ruoxi and naturally took her hand in mine.
Ruoxi's complexion changed dramatically within an hour; she had been fine just moments ago due to Xiaomei's energy transfer, but now her face had turned pale.
Furrowing my brows, I suddenly noticed Ruoxi's lips moving. Thinking she wanted to say something, I leaned closer. To my surprise, I heard her calling out, "Wang Jun, don't leave me."
I froze for a moment, inexplicably feeling that Ruoxi's call of "Wang Jun" was directed at me.
A warm sensation spread across my face as I realized it was my own tears sticking to the corner of Ruoxi's eye. I stood up and saw tears streaming down her cheek.
My heart ached once more as I reached out to wipe away the tears from the corner of Ruoxi's eye.
In an instant, a sharp pain surged through my head, causing me to lose my senses and collapse to the ground uncontrollably.
Within my mind, vague images began to emerge, gradually becoming clearer.
The scene unfolded by a stream, revealing two figures.
"Wang Jun, what are you doing here?" asked the woman in the vision, addressing the man sitting on a rock.
The man turned his face to look at her. "I am contemplating how humanity will endure this calamity."
"Wang Jun, are you going to intervene?" The woman gazed at him in shock.
His expression was serious as he nodded at her. "As the King of Humanity, I must concern myself with their lives and deaths. If you fear punishment from above, you may stand aside; I will not hold it against you."
With that, he stood up from the rock and walked away. After he left, the woman suddenly shed tears and turned to another place.
It was a stone cave. When she opened the stone door, the interior was surprisingly similar to the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
I was taken aback as she entered. Among hundreds of bookshelves and books, there was a very narrow path. The woman walked into this path, and the vision followed her closely.
She reached the back of the bookshelf and placed her hand upon it. Suddenly, a light emanated from her hand.
The light became blindingly bright, and after a moment, a path appeared before her. She stepped into it, entering a special place surrounded by spring water, where a Lotus Seat stood in the center.
A book hung above the Lotus Seat. The woman hesitated for a moment but then seemed to recall something that made her expression resolute.
The woman flew up to the Lotus Seat and took down the Heavenly Book that was suspended in mid-air. As she opened the Heavenly Book, the entrance began to shake violently.
There was no trace of fear on her face; her gaze quickly scanned the pages of the book. Then, I noticed her lips move slightly, as if she were reciting something. When her lips stopped moving, the book in her hands suddenly caught fire, and one of its pages was burned away.
Not only that, but beams of light shot up towards the sky. After it was done, a sorrowful smile appeared on the woman's face.
Then, her figure slowly became transparent, gradually disappearing before my eyes. For some reason, my heart ached intensely, even though I knew this was just an illusion.
The scene faded away, and darkness enveloped me.
A celestial female voice then reached my ears: "Did you see? She took a hit for you this time, and she paid a painful price for it."
After the voice faded, images slowly reappeared around me.
The scene shifted to a cave; more precisely, it was a Flame Cave where flames erupted everywhere, accompanied by the sound of boiling fire.
The woman from before was bound in the center. Every ten minutes, waves of flames would surge toward her from all sides. She let out a heart-wrenching scream as the flames washed over her, leaving behind ugly scars on her body—marks left by the fiery waves.
The woman endured this cycle of torment repeatedly. Then the scene shifted once more.
What had once been a dark and fog-covered world transformed into something beautiful, and men no longer had to resist against the heavens for humanity's sake.
