Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 876 870: Soul Lamp—Knowing Life and Death

"By the way, Zilan, why didn't Qin Yang come back with you?"

Ruan Xinxue's gaze shifted to Zilan, her eyes filled with even more anxiety as she hurriedly asked.

"Brother Qin Yang didn't come back?!"

Upon hearing Ruan Xinxue's words, Zilan's face immediately turned pale, looking utterly lost, to the point where she didn't even hear Ruan Xinxue's subsequent questions.

Behind Zilan, Nangong Feng, Nangong Chen, Nangong Feiyang, and others all had expressions that turned equally grim.

Even if Qin Yang didn't inform them, if he was returning, he should have returned to his Feipu Manor. Why hasn't he come back yet?

"How could it be, Sister Xinxue? How could Brother Qin Yang not be back?!"

Tears were brimming in Zilan's beautiful eyes, about to fall.

"Zilan, speak quickly, what happened to that rogue?"

Seeing Zilan and Nangong Feng's expressions, Ruan Xinxue's heart raced, leaving her with a feeling of panic.

"Sister Xinxue, Brother Qin Yang, he, he..."

Tears suddenly fell from Zilan's eyes.

"Let me explain."

Nangong Feiyang, standing by her side, sighed.

Without delay, Nangong Feiyang recounted everything that happened on Penglai Immortal Island.

"Miss Ruan, this is what happened. Initially, we and Brother Qin Yang... Later, that sudden cold wave spread across the entire Penglai Immortal Island, and everyone inside had to evacuate.

Afterwards, the cold air seeped through the void rift, causing the temperature over the East Sea region to plummet. That area was no longer suitable for humans to remain, so we had to hurry back. However, along the way, we did not see Brother Qin Yang..."

Nangong Feiyang's face showed a hint of unpleasantness as he recounted their combined effort to fight the werewolves, their gradual progress into the depths of the Immortal Island, and the astonishing cold wave, as well as the fact that there was no sign of Qin Yang after the cold wave.

After listening to Nangong Feiyang's account, Ruan Xinxue, Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and others all turned pale as well.

"You're saying that after that cold wave, Qin Shao's silhouette was never seen again?"

Elder Gu You's brows furrowed deeply, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Nangong Feiyang nodded, his face somber.

Hearing this, Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and others fell into a silence, all their faces turning extremely unpleasant.

From Nangong Feiyang's recount, the cold wave was terrifying, freezing the entire island, and even someone in the Innate Realm had no resistance.

"Qin Shao, could he have..."

Beside them, Elder Tian Yan's brows furrowed deeply, his face full of gravity.

"No way, that rogue won't die!"

Ruan Xinxue's face was as pale as paper, her eyes red-rimmed, biting her silver teeth, she declared firmly.

"Right, Brother Qin Yang definitely won't die!"

Zilan also lifted her head, wiped away her tears, and glared at Elder Tian Yan fiercely.

"Ahem, Miss Ruan, Miss Zilan, you misunderstand, Qin Shao is strong, he will definitely be fine. I meant, could it be that Qin Yang had something important to attend to, so he hasn't returned for now."

Elder Tian Yan hurriedly explained.

"Something important? What important matter could Brother Qin Yang have, not waiting for us, and not returning..."

Zilan's eyes blinked, tears welling up again, thinking about the werewolves and those in conflict with Brother Qin Yang, who had all left that sea area. Where could Brother Qin Yang go?

Could he still be on that island? If that's the case, Brother Qin Yang, he...

"That rogue will definitely be fine, he will definitely be fine..."

Although Ruan Xinxue said this, her heart was in a state of panic.

"Right, the lamp, the lamp, we can know if the rogue is safe by looking at the lamp..."

Suddenly, Ruan Xinxue raised her reddened eyes as if she had suddenly thought of something, looking towards the direction of the Feipu Grand Hotel, she said.

Seeing Ruan Xinxue's sudden expression, shouting about the lamp, Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and Nangong Feng all showed a hint of confusion.

"Miss Ruan, what lamp?"

Elder Gu You asked.

"There's a black lamp on that rogue's bedside, Elder Gu You, please go and bring it here."

Ruan Xinxue said anxiously.

"Alright, I'll go right away!"

Seeing Ruan Xinxue's anxious expression, Elder Gu You nodded immediately without asking further questions.

Swipe!

True Essence Power erupted around Elder Gu You as his figure flashed across the grass, moving swiftly towards the Feipu Grand Hotel.

A few breaths later, Elder Gu You leapt into Qin Yang's room, and in about ten more breaths, he returned to the grass, holding a black lamp in hand.

"Miss Xinxue, this lamp..."

Elder Gu You, not entirely understanding, handed the black ancient lamp to Ruan Xinxue.

Ruan Xinxue looked at the black ancient lamp, and her originally reddened eyes suddenly shone brightly.

Seeing this, everyone's gaze collectively fell onto that black ancient lamp.

"Oh? I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice, this lamp is actually still lit."

Elder Gu You stared at the black ancient lamp, stunned.

At this moment, a small cluster of blue flame burned on the lamp's wick, carrying a hint of mystery.

"That rogue is alright, he's not dead..."

Seeing the blue flame burning on the wick, Ruan Xinxue's reddened eyes glowed with light. She couldn't help but exclaim joyfully, her voice tinged with certainty.

Hearing this, Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and the Nangong Clan's Nangong Feng and others had looks of surprise on their faces, clearly not understanding why Ruan Xinxue determined Qin Yang was not dead just by looking at this black lamp.

Only Zilan beside them, had a glimmer of light gradually rise in her eyes, as if she suddenly recalled something from her mind.

"Sister Xinxue, is this... a Soul Lamp?"

Zilan's beautiful eyes looked at Ruan Xinxue, her voice carrying a hint of surprise as she asked.

"Yes, it's the rogue's Soul Lamp."

Ruan Xinxue nodded, her face regaining its color.

"That's great, Sister Xinxue, Brother Qin Yang is indeed still alive."

Zilan's face looked at the blue flame, a hint of joy appearing on her pretty face as she spoke.

From the things recorded in the Vermilion Bird legacy she received about Cultivators, she knew that the Soul Lamp is an important tool to indicate a cultivator's life or death.

Some large sects have Soul Lamp Towers specifically to record the life and death of elite disciples. A cultivator can infuse a wisp of Divine Sense, and the Soul Lamp will light up. If the cultivator dies outside, the Soul Lamp will extinguish, and people within will know that the elite disciple has died.

If this Soul Lamp is lit by Brother Qin Yang's Divine Sense, it means Brother Qin Yang is still alive!

"Yes, he's still alive!"

Ruan Xinxue nodded firmly.

The Soul Lamp was originally discovered in the treasure vault of Qin Yang's mentor, Old Joe. At that time, there were four.

However, Qin Yang didn't take them initially. Later, in order to teach Ruan Xinxue more about the common knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation World, Qin Yang asked Old Joe for one, as leaving them with Old Joe was of no use.

At that time, Qin Yang even infused a wisp of Divine Sense to light one of the Soul Lamps, and it was this particular Soul Lamp.
