Chapter 161 Resurrect, my old captain!
In her soul form, Meng Yanqing watched the battle, which seemed to have no suspense, with a sense of despair. Suddenly, she felt an extremely powerful pulling force, as if countless invisible hands were simultaneously gripping her soul and pulling her forcefully towards her body.
Before she could react, she was sucked into the corpse by that force.
After a period of intense disorientation, Meng Yanqing's eyelids twitched. In place of the vanished Lu Yutang, Meng Yanqing's "corpse," which should have long since cooled, stood up again.
She stood in the center of the venue, her eyes filled with bewilderment. She looked down at her hands blankly, then looked up at her surroundings, like an actor who had been suddenly thrown onto the stage without knowing the script.
The process of possession and resurrection that was unfolding before her was completely unexpected, and she wasn't even mentally prepared for it.
It wasn't until Lu Yutang's voice lingered gently in her heart that Meng Yanqing finally understood the unbelievable situation before her.
"This is Qingnang Tangxian's exclusive legendary technique, the Balance of Salvation. It can revive a dead person by sacrificing oneself. Since Qingnang Tangxian is my pet beast, this sacrifice also includes myself."
This is the restriction imposed by the gods on Qingnang Tangxian, and also the ultimate balance of the laws of life by the Heavenly Dao.
If a Beast Tamer does not die, the beasts they contract can be resurrected indefinitely after their death cooldown ends. Without this price, Qingnang Tangxian's abilities would completely destroy the laws of life and death in this world and disrupt the fundamental order of reincarnation.
Therefore, for Qingnang Tangxian, who has a contract with a Beast Tamer, once this profound skill is activated, the price will also affect the Beast Tamer himself—one life for another, without exception, with no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing was completely stunned.
After a long pause, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Why didn't you say you had such amazing skills sooner?!"
Lu Yutang couldn't answer Meng Yanqing.
Because she could only leave one last message for the person she resurrected. After that echo faded, her existence completely disappeared from the battlefield, leaving no trace whatsoever.
In fact, the legendary secret of Qingnang Tangxian, the Balance of Salvation, was originally known only to Lu Yutang and her mother.
When Qingnang Tangxian evolved into her complete form and learned this legendary secret, Lu Yutang excitedly ran to tell her mother.
However, after learning about this, her mother repeatedly warned her in an extremely serious tone that she should never reveal this secret of the Qingnang Tangxian to anyone unless absolutely necessary or in a truly desperate situation.
In this world, there are far too many people who are willing to break the law and stop at nothing to resurrect some unforgettable being.
Those powerful people who have lost their loved ones, those madmen who refuse to accept their fate, those strong people whose lives have been swallowed by regret—each of them could be a potential hunter.
Once Qingnang Tangxian's abilities are revealed, Lu Yutang will be embroiled in endless trouble for the rest of her life, forever unable to escape the fate of being coveted, coerced, and imprisoned.
Because, unlike in the virtual battle space where one can be resurrected after death, if Lu Yutang were to have Qingnang Tangxian use the Balance of Salvation in reality, she herself would truly die.
That was a true life for a life, with no way back, no turning back, and no room for shortcuts.
At that time, all sorts of bad people will use various despicable means to force her to submit and turn her into a living sacrificial tool.
Lu Yutang's mother, the city lord of Lanzhi City, said: "If Lu Yutang can one day become the strongest in Yuelan Prefecture, then perhaps she can use her absolute strength to intimidate all those who covet her. Another way is to find a powerful enough protector who will never harm her, a strong person who can make all those with ulterior motives wary."
Only under these two conditions may one disclose one's abilities at one's discretion.
In any case, when Lu Yutang decided to let Qingnang Tangxian use this move, she had already made all the necessary mental preparations.
After this battle, she plans to hide away with Xue Youyou for the rest of her life.

The rest room at Lanzhiyuan.
After witnessing Meng Yanqing's resurrection, everyone present except Xue Youyou was stunned, as if their souls had been drained, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
boom--!
Bang-!
A series of loud thuds echoed through the room: water glasses tipped over, coats slipped to the floor, and a vibrator in someone's hand fell to the ground, bouncing twice before coming to a stop. No one cared about what they were holding; everyone was frozen in place by the scene that had just unfolded.
This clearly shows the extent of the shock in everyone's hearts, to the point that they were completely unable to control their body movements.
Bringing someone back to life and pulling someone who is already dead back from the abyss of death are two completely different concepts.
Even in the world of beast taming, where miracles and supernatural abilities are commonplace, resurrection is an extremely, extremely, extremely rare ability—so rare that even repeating it three times wouldn't be enough to describe its significance.
Its rarity is roughly equivalent to the sudden appearance of a monster beast tamer like Xue Youyou.
Because it can resurrect dead heroes, legends, saints, and even demon kings, the word "resurrection" itself carries immeasurable value. It is not a combat ability, nor a tactical resource, but an ultimate bargaining chip capable of shaking the world order.
It's so rare that even if a normal person witnessed the prerequisites being met step by step before the ability was actually activated, they wouldn't even consider resurrection. The brain automatically avoids this option, categorizing it as "absolutely impossible."
In fact, among all the billions of viewers watching this match, the only ones who could see through Qingnang Tangxian's true intentions immediately were probably Xue Youyou and Lu Yutang's mother, who was far away in Lanzhi City.
Actually, before this, Xue Youyou had already given up hope of turning the tables.
She had envisioned many paths to victory, but each one broke down at the end of her deductions, leaving only the last one—the most absurd, the most impossible path, one that even she herself thought was merely theoretical: Lu Yutang would revive Meng Yanqing, and then Meng Yanqing would use overwhelming strength to defeat four opponents single-handedly, putting the tipped scales back on.
In terms of probability, the legendary secret of "the scales of salvation" is as rare as the legendary secret of the Snow Woman, "accumulated snow." Both belong to the kind of blessings that are hard to come by and can only be encountered by chance. They seem natural when written in legends, but when they appear in reality, they are enough to leave any witness speechless.
The fact that Lu Yutang secretly possessed a resurrection skill was something only Xue Youyou dared to think.
Anyone else, even if the thought had just crossed their mind, would have thought they were crazy.
She sat there until the very end, watching every single frame of the match that was practically doomed to failure, all just to have the prize drawn one last time.
Surprisingly, a big prize was actually won.
Shen Yanqiu murmured blankly, the voice seeming to be squeezed out of his throat: "Then now... doesn't that mean we're going to win?!"
"We don't need to pack anymore?"
Xue Youyou nodded calmly, her tone as steady as ever: "We're going to win."
The words had barely left his mouth—
Pfft!
Xue Youyou: "?"
She turned her head at the sound and saw that Lu Yuan had slumped to the ground at some point, her forehead hitting the floor hard with each thud.
Hagi deer, you're such a rascal! You keep saying you're comforting everyone and taking all the blame, but deep down you want to win more than anyone else, and you're more unwilling to accept defeat than anyone else.
Xue Youyou sighed softly in her heart.
This time, she truly owed Lu Yutang a huge favor.
Without Lu Yutang's timely intervention, she probably would have really messed things up.
