Chapter 261

When the curtain of space was pulled aside by the Xuyu, a glimpse of the churning, murky Yellow Springs was revealed before the three of them. Zhou Tieyi instantly felt the flow of "vital energy" around him accelerate. Merely by casting a glance at the appearance of the Yellow Springs, the two talismans on his and Miaoyu's bodies withered like cut flowers, becoming wrinkled and brittle, while the special ink used to draw them rapidly dissipated. The draining of vital energy was only one factor in the talismans' decay; the primary cause was a formless, terrifying suction emanating from the Yellow Springs. This suction acted directly upon their souls, as if "cold winds" were blowing from all directions, pushing them toward the river. Zhou Tieyi felt his normally unimpeded Qi and Blood freeze rapidly in the face of these "cold winds," as if he had been reduced to an ordinary man, cast into a land of ice and snow.
