Chapter 88: Something Happened at Huaguang Sect
Xiao Sui had three or four whip marks on his body, which stood out conspicuously against his fair skin and the pure black demon mark.
Ningxi touched it with her hand; it was already swollen. But Xiaosui tilted her head back and made sounds that she couldn't help but make, as if she really enjoyed it.
"Does it really not hurt?" she asked again to confirm.
"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Sui's voice carried a satisfied sigh.
Ningxi pressed her fingers on it, and he immediately straightened his chest to meet her movement.
His expression was one of pure enjoyment.
Ning Qi was relieved; he truly wanted her to feel that way.
The whip struck the undulating parts of his body, and the iron chains on Xiao Sui's handcuffs rattled, but they still couldn't mask his comfortable sigh.
He was panting heavily, grabbing Ning Qi's wrist, his always dark eyes glistening with tears.
“You should also feel its pain.” He took her hand and moved the whip down.
Ning Qi's heart was pounding, and she asked in a suppressed voice, "Does it need it too?"
"Absolutely necessary."
"Won't it break?"
“No,” he said breathlessly. “Please whip it as much as you like.”
Who could bear this? Ning Qi raised her wrist, and the whip fell, leaving several black afterimages. Xiao Sui groaned, his breathing became rapid, and even his body trembled slightly.
“…Princess.” He called her name, tilted his head back, and made a satisfied sound.
"Is it that good?" Ning Xi pulled back his fabric, glanced down and saw the red spots on his legs, and suddenly remembered that the rash from yesterday had not yet subsided.
That area was covered with several whip marks, so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Ning Qi clenched her fingers and saw his eyes suddenly widen, his muscles visibly tense.
It was a cute reaction, but given his condition, he definitely couldn't use it today. Ning Qi felt a little regretful. She pushed away his chest and stood up, but he immediately pulled her back.
"What are you going to do?" he asked, his eyes glistening with tears.
"I'll go get the ointment." Ning Xi said before he let go of her and let her out of the cage.
Ningxi asked Zhizhi to bring over some ointment to reduce the swelling. Zhizhi looked her up and down suspiciously, and only closed the door after confirming that she was alright.
Ningqi chuckled and returned to the cramped cage.
She applied the ointment to her palm, rubbed it a few times, and it turned into oil.
She grabbed him, her fingers gently rubbing to reduce the swelling, leaving glistening marks on his body.
Xiao Sui trembled slightly with excitement at her movements, and he gripped her waist with his large hand, bringing the two into close proximity.
The process took longer than she had imagined. Ning Qi leaned on his shoulder, her hands unconsciously slowing down.
Xiao Sui held her hand and moved her around on his body.
The glaring redness and swelling have finally subsided somewhat.
But he shifted his body, frowned, and hugged Ningxi's lower back. "Princess, it's not enough."
Ning Qi picked up the whip again. "Shall we continue?"
The night was long, and she had plenty of time to help him alleviate his discomfort.
——
Xie Jingyan was tied to a chair with his hands behind his back, his mouth open, making low, rapid sounds.
There were no other furnishings inside. The monk who brought him in carefully locked the door and stood guard outside.
"I never expected that kid Xiao Sui to be so strong now. He turned Immortal Lord Jingyan into a corpse demon in just a few moves." The man chatted with his colleague who was also guarding outside.
The other person shook his head and sighed, "Now the mortal and immortal realms are in decline, but the demon realm has grown much stronger because of the overflowing demonic energy. You don't know, many cultivators have gone to join the demon race."
The man said angrily, "How can you associate with those scourges?"
“We can survive,” another person said. “The Demon God can control the Corpse Demons and make them lose their aggressiveness, but we have no way to deal with the Corpse Demons. We never know when we will die on a mission. Now there are fewer and fewer people in the sect.”
The man said indignantly, "Then I will never join the demon race."
The two had a disagreement and before they could even start arguing, they saw Xie Xiyue walking over and both stopped talking.
Xie Xiyue went into the room and checked the ropes binding Xie Jingyan. He stared with his completely black eyes, his gaze fixed on her carotid artery, struggling incessantly, but the ropes bound him tightly, rendering him completely immobile.
She looked at the hemp ropes, still somewhat uneasy, and reinforced them with her spiritual power. Then she came out and said to the two of them, "You two keep a close watch on him. There can be no mistakes, or our Huaguang Sect will be in danger. In a few days, I will ask the sect leader to send him to another place."
"Yes, we understand," the two said meekly.
Xie Xiyue breathed a slight sigh of relief, but a vague unease lingered in her heart. Perhaps it was just her imagination, she shook her head and left.
As night fell, the low, persistent sounds from inside the house subsided, and the two guards sat in the corridor, both feeling drowsy.
"Hungry..." A strange voice came from inside the house, "So hungry..."
But neither of them noticed.
"Shicheng." The deep voice woke one of them. He opened his eyes groggily, and after hearing it clearly, he paused for a moment, then quickly woke the other person, "Did you hear someone calling my name?"
The man rubbed his eyes, and said groggily, "Where's the sound? You must have misheard."
As he spoke, he hugged his sword and began to snore.
The man named Shicheng scanned the quiet courtyard, but there was no sound except for the rustling of leaves. He must have misheard.
Just as he was about to stand up to clear his head, another deep voice rang out: "Shicheng."
They were still calling his name, and this time he heard it clearly; the voice was coming from inside the house!
Immortal Lord Jingyan? Impossible, he has already become a corpse demon, he can't speak human language.
Could someone have sneaked in while they were sleeping to secretly release Xie Jingyan?
Startled, he shook the other man awake, telling him to stay outside while he went in to check.
The person was woken up twice in a row, and with half-closed eyes, he reluctantly agreed.
Yang Shicheng carried his sword into the house and looked around. There was only Xie Jingyan there. No one else had broken in, and it was impossible for someone to be hiding somewhere.
He looked at Xie Jingyan and tentatively called out, "Immortal Lord Jingyan."
Xie Jingyan suddenly raised his head and responded.
Yang Shicheng was so startled he almost fell to the ground. He steadied himself and asked, "Did you just call me?"
"Yes," Xie Jingyan replied, his tone slightly odd, otherwise no different from an ordinary person.
"How could you..." Yang Shicheng was extremely surprised.
"I resisted," Xie Jingyan's voice was extremely deep. "I did not turn into a corpse demon."
"But your eyes..."
"What happened to my eyes?" Xie Jingyan asked. "Take a closer look, they've recovered."
The moonlight shone into the room, but it was clearly not enough for Yang Shicheng to see the other person's pupils clearly.
He had never heard of the Corpse Demon being able to speak human language. Perhaps Immortal Lord Jingyan could really fight against the Corpse Demon. Wouldn't that save their mortal realm?
Thinking of this, Yang Shicheng felt a surge of excitement. He took a few steps closer, stood in front of Xie Jingyan, and looked into his pupils.
In the dim light, he saw a pair of completely black pupils, without a single white showing.
This is his last memory.
Because Xie Jingyan suddenly stood up and bit him on the neck, which was very close to his, sucking his blood and gnawing on his flesh.
The rope binding him had completely come undone, and his sharp fingernails dug into the man's flesh.
The other person outside heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and came in with his sword, only to be tackled by a dark figure, a strong smell of blood filling his nostrils.
His neck was in excruciating pain, his pupils dilated, and his eyes felt like they were about to burst. His piercing screams quickly faded into the night.
After Xie Jingyan finished eating the flesh and blood of the two men, he wiped his blood-covered face, stood up, and let out a low hoarse sound.
If Ning Qi were here, she would definitely understand that he was saying, "It's not enough, I'm still so hungry..."
He stepped out of the courtyard and quickly walked towards the dormitories of the Huaguang Sect disciples.
Xie Xiyue woke up with a start, only to find that the screams were not in her dream, but in reality.
She quickly put on her clothes and went out to ask the maid what had happened.
The maid was also unsure, so she sent a guard to investigate the source of the scream.
But the people they sent out didn't return for a long time, and then they heard eerie screams again.
Xie Xiyue couldn't sit still any longer. She dressed, grabbed her longsword, and said, "Let's go take a look."
She followed the sound and saw someone rushing towards her as if fleeing for their life. She immediately grabbed him and asked, "What's going on?"
The man was terrified and grabbed her frantically, crying, "Something's happened! Senior Sister's in trouble!"
"Tell me what happened slowly."
In that short time, two or three more people came running over.
Xie Xiyue quickly grabbed someone, who, upon recognizing her, immediately exclaimed in terror, "Princess, there are corpse demons! The bedroom area is full of corpse demons!"
"How could this be?" Xie Xiyue exclaimed in shock.
"I don't know! I..." Before the man could finish speaking, his body convulsed, then the whites of his eyes began to turn black, and his body turned bluish-purple.
Xie Xiyue's maid immediately blocked her way, "Princess, he's been bitten too, let's leave quickly."
Xie Xiyue shook her head. "I want to go and take a look."
The maidservant swung her sword and beheaded the corpse demon, then followed behind her.
Xie Xiyue flew directly over on her sword, and the scene before her was like a living hell.
Flames flickered before my eyes; perhaps someone had knocked over a candle in their haste. The flames burned rapidly between the rooms, and pieces of wood from the roof beams fell from time to time.
Her former fellow disciples were now tearing each other apart, gnawing on one another's flesh.
A series of low, rumbling sounds and the sounds of cannibalism filled my ears.
It was terrifying. She gripped the sword, but had no idea where to stab it, as people were constantly turning into zombies everywhere.
The firelight shone into her eyes, and she knew that Huaguang Sect had completely fallen.
Yan Chongyan beheaded a corpse demon and came to Xie Xiyue. "Princess, you should leave now."
"How could it have turned out like this?" Xie Xiyue murmured, then suddenly she thought of someone, "Xie Jingyan? Is it because of him?!"
Yan Chongyan fell silent. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have left this potential threat in the sect."
Corpse demons rushed towards the two from all sides. They had no time to talk and immediately raised their swords to try to stop the spread of the corpse demons.
"Where's Xie Jingyan? Have you seen him?" Xie Xiyue asked.
Yan Chongyan shook his head.
Xie Xiyue silently chopped off the head of her fellow disciple who had turned into a corpse demon, and took out a name tag from her storage bag.
The words "Xie Jingyan" were written on it.
Behind her are two childlike characters, "Daddy," which she carved stroke by stroke with a knife.
This wooden sign can help you find his location.
She actually kept it all along.
She gripped the wooden plaque tightly and said to Yan Chongyan, "We must find him and kill him as soon as possible, otherwise, with his cultivation level, he will harm even more people."
Yan Chongyan was stunned for a moment, "But he is my master, and also your father."
"It's not like that anymore," Xie Xiyue said coldly. "Hand this place over to others. You take a few cultivators with high cultivation levels and join us in killing Xie Jingyan."
