Under the influence of the Other Shore Flower, Ji Qian attacks He Linghan in a frenzied state, believing Ye Shikai has abandoned her. Ye Shikai attempts to intervene, but Ji Qian's enhanced abilities and erratic behavior incapacitate him. Despite Ye Shikai's efforts, Ji Qian fatally wounds He Linghan's illusion before turning her attention to the unstable energy cluster Ye Shikai needs to return home. Her subsequent attack on the cluster causes a massive explosion that throws Ye Shikai into unconsciousness.

When the members of the Chen family and the Ji family arrived, the entire hall had already turned into a scene of chaos, with rubble and dust everywhere, the air thick with dust, making it impossible for everyone to clearly see the situation in front of them. However, it was obvious that something major had happened here. Neither family knew what had transpired, but simply analyzing from the current conditions and the sound of the explosion just now, it was certain that there was a "secret" hidden in this hall.

"Quick, find someone." Chen Yuxin and Ji Tao immediately ordered. Thousands of people rushed forward to search, with rubble everywhere and dust rising, visibility was extremely low, and everyone was groping around searching.

"Cough, cough."

Suddenly, a violent coughing sound came from a distance. Ji Tao hurried forward and Ji Qian, covered in dust, slowly stood up from the pile of stones.

"Qian’er, are you okay? How is your body, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Tao was very concerned, but except for a few superficial wounds, Ji Qian seemed fine.

"I’m fine." Ji Qian gently tapped her head, only feeling a dizzy spell. The killing intent in her eyes had vanished, replaced with clarity, as if she had returned to normal.

"Ji Qian, what exactly happened here, where is Kai?" Chen Yuxin was very anxious. Since they found Ji Qian, Ye Shikai should be nearby too. She didn’t know what had happened here, but such a violent explosion was no joke.

"He, he is..." Ji Qian mumbled, a sudden sharp pain striking her head.

"I seem to have... hurt him." Suddenly, Ji Qian seemed to recall something horrifying, her face showing signs of terror and regret. She finally remembered what had happened earlier. At that time, her consciousness had vanished, leaving only a solitary voice in her mind.

Destroy the energy orb, Ye Shikai must not return.

Ji Qian remembered stabbing He Linghan in the heart and attacking Ye Shikai too. She recalled a massive energy orb suspended mid-air, rumored to be capable of warping time and space. Utilizing this energy, one could travel through time, and she disrupted the orb’s internal waves with water elements, causing the entire orb to explode.

If it was really like that, then how was Ye Shikai’s situation?

"What are you saying, you hurt him?" Chen Yuxin was very shocked, her heart skipped a beat. Although she detested Ji Qian, she knew very well how deeply Ji Qian cared for Ye Shikai; how could she possibly hurt him?

"It was an accident." Ji Qian found it difficult to explain at the moment, looking down to find the wound on the back of her hand had healed. She also realized, it was all due to the "enchantment" of the Other Shore Flower.

The Other Shore Flower was best at "attacking the heart". In front of it, anyone seemed transparent, unable to hide any secrets, while it could use a person’s secrets and weaknesses to create illusions, thereby subtly manipulating a person’s consciousness.

Ye Shikai might not understand Ji Qian’s actions, but she herself was very clear. Ultimately, it was because deep down, she didn’t want Ye Shikai to go back, whether out of feelings or concern for his safety. She felt that way, but due to certain reasons, she never voiced her true thoughts. In reality, she was a woman whose emotions remained hidden. She saw how determined Ye Shikai was to return to the Qin Dynasty and had stopped trying to dissuade him.

But she was injured by the fragments of the Other Shore Flower, and its energy entered her body. Even though she didn’t feel anything unusual, the energy was always present in her body, extremely concealed, but unbeknownst to her, it understood the secrets of her heart, gradually interfering with her will, eventually completely occupying Ji Qian’s consciousness, which drove her to commit such a crazy act.

Ji Qian vaguely remembered that, to stop Ye Shikai from using the massive energy orb to traverse time and space, she used water elements to destroy it. But at the moment of the orb’s explosion, she was blasted away by a powerful shockwave, knocking her out. She didn’t manage to see what had happened to Ye Shikai...

Thinking of this, Ji Qian hurriedly started searching too, turning over the stones. Ye Shikai might be buried underneath them, or maybe...he had traveled back again.

Everyone continued their search, but with rubble all around, finding one person was not easy.

Half an hour later.

"Master, I found him." Xue Ming shouted loudly, looking at a bloodied hand, quickening his pace to clear away the stones, finally revealing Ye Shikai’s body.

Hearing the call, Chen Yuxin rushed over, as did Ji Tao and Ji Qian.

"How is he, is he okay?"

"Reporting to Master, the young master’s pulse is very weak, and his breath is feeble."

Seeing Ye Shikai covered in blood, Chen Yuxin felt a gripping pain in her heart. His body had multiple wounds, mostly from impacts, and when she tested with her Inner Strength, she found many internal injuries as well. His internal organs were severely damaged, he was bleeding heavily, and it seemed his head had suffered a hard blow too. Normally, a person with such severe injuries would have already died. Ye Shikai not dying was entirely due to his Inner Strength keeping his last breath alive.

Ji Qian also felt immense heartache. Ye Shikai was gravely injured, nearly killed, entirely due to her actions. Although it wasn’t her intention, the Other Shore Flower itself had no independent thought. It merely "amplified" the secrets within Ji Qian’s heart. To put it simply, this was entirely Ji Qian’s subconscious at work.

Chen Yuxin channeled her Inner Strength into his body, then took out a "pendant" from her bosom. This was her life-saving charm, a major treasure of the Chen family, which only the Family Head could wear to ensure survival in times of danger.

"Family Head, the young master has sustained severe injuries. If we wish to save his life, we must descend the mountain immediately for treatment." Chen Ruoya knew where Chen Yuxin’s affections lay. Regardless of the treasures hidden ahead, Ye Shikai’s life was beyond price.

"Everyone, heed my command, descend the mountain immediately."

"Yes."

"Yes."

.................................

Ye Shikai fell into a coma, and after a long while, his consciousness began to "wake" again. However, his body still couldn’t move, as if he were dreaming.

This was a long dream, where Ye Shikai met He Linghan again. In the dream, he returned to the Qin Dynasty, to that execution ground, where he dueled Mi Wen. In reality, he had dreamt of this scene countless times, but each time, he lost under Mi Wen’s sword.

"No!"

With a startle, Ye Shikai sat up suddenly, eyes wide open, gasping for air. He wasn’t on the execution ground, nor was he in the Kunlun Secret Realm, but in a room.
