That day, Gongsun Yize used drugs to control Deng Lulu's mind. But she resisted subconsciously, relying on her profound cultivation to forcefully neutralize the drugs. That was the only reason she managed to retain a sliver of her own awareness and avoid becoming his complete puppet. In a moment of crisis, her mind in disarray, she let the emperor go. Afterward, she recklessly used the Chaos Technique despite her weakened condition. Her already unstable foundation was utterly destroyed. Not only was her martial arts cultivation completely ruined, but she also fell into a coma and never woke up. Her body continued to grow weaker by the day. Even with the palace supplying her with the finest medicinal ingredients without pause, she grew worse with every passing day. Mu Nannan's only hope was that Deng Lulu's master, Daoist Zhengtian, would soon arrive from the main Xuanmen sanctuary on Mount Kunlun with its spiritual medicines and give Lulu a chance to live.
