"Take them away!" Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
The bound disciples of the Sui Mountain Sect immediately pleaded:
"We've told you so much, can you please let us go? We were all forced by Luo Bei!"
Lu Qing: "Don't worry! If you were really forced and didn't do anything wrong, the union won't do anything to you."
Upon hearing this, some disciples breathed a sigh of relief, while others looked fearful.
Chu Qianlan and the others locked all the disciples in one room, while Lu Qing set up an array outside to prevent them from escaping.
"How is that woman?" Chu Qianlin asked.
Lu Qing sighed softly:
“During this time, she must have been continuously violated.”
Although they had already guessed the woman's situation, they were still surprised when they heard it with their own ears.
"A crazy woman, what kind of person would... treat her like that every day?"
Lu Qing: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that old Chen."
"This woman has five elemental meridians in her body. When they interact with her, it can reshape her meridians and enhance her strength. Old Chen brought her water and food because he wanted to use her five elemental meridians to repair her body."
"That person just said that Old Chen has been particularly happy lately, and his complexion is better than before. It should be because he absorbed the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Vein."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned solemn.
At that moment, a soft cough came from inside the room, and Lu Qing and Gu Fei immediately went in.
"You're awake!"
Lu Qinggang fed her some medicine while she was unconscious, and then used his own Qi to help her regulate her meridians. With the self-healing power of the Five Elements Spiritual Meridians, she has now regained her senses.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yan asked warily.
"Don't be afraid. I am a disciple of Qingyun Temple on Yutai Mountain. My name is Lu Qing, and her name is Gu Fei. She is my friend," Lu Qing said softly.
Jiang Yan glanced at her clean clothes, and the wariness in her eyes lessened:
"Did you change my clothes?"
Lu Qing nodded slightly, and Gu Fei brought over a glass of warm water:
Would you like some water?
Jiang Yan swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then took the water glass and drank it in big gulps.
After finishing her drink, she asked again, "Is there anything to eat?"
Lu Qing and Gu Fei exchanged a smile, then brought her some bread.
Jiang Yan wolfed down several pieces of bread and drank several glasses of water before she finally recovered.
"How did you get to the Sui Shan Sect? Where is my father? Do you know him?"
Lu Qing pursed her lips and said:
"You need to be mentally prepared and don't get excited before we can tell you."
Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed: "Has...has something happened?"
Lu Qing recounted what had happened at the Sui Shan Sect to Jiang Yan. To her surprise, Jiang Yan didn't seem particularly saddened upon hearing of her father's death; instead, she seemed relieved.
"Your father died, how come you're not sad at all?" Gu Fei asked.
Jiang Yan sneered:
"What's there to be sad about? I'm overjoyed that he's dead!"
"A beast like him doesn't deserve to be a father!"
A flash of resentment crossed Jiang Yan's eyes.
"Why do you hate him so much?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.
Jiang Yan exhaled through her tears and smiled:
"Anyway, he's dead, so I'm not afraid to tell you that Jiang Yi, the leader of the Suishan Sect, is a beast in human form."
Jiang Yan looked at Lu Qing:
"You come from Qingyun Temple and are a disciple of the Old Celestial Master. You must be quite powerful. You should be able to see that I have the Five Elements Spiritual Meridians in my body!"
Lu Qing nodded: "That's right! But your five elemental meridians weren't innate; they were implanted into your body later."
“That’s right! My mother originally possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Veins. Jiang Yi married her to use her Five Elements Spiritual Veins to help him increase his strength and become the sect leader.”
"Later, my mother died for him, but in order to continue using the Five Elements Spiritual Vein, he transferred it to me."
“My mother’s blood flows in my veins, and the Five Elements Spiritual Vein can only continue in my body. I was only eight years old that year.”
Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
“My body simply couldn’t withstand the forced transplantation of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins, but he still refused to give up and used every means to implant the spiritual veins into my body.”
"Perhaps my mother's spiritual veins were dormant in my body to protect me. The dormant spiritual veins were unusable, and I, being young, temporarily escaped Jiang Yi's clutches."
“But he didn’t give up. He kept waiting for the day when the spiritual veins would be revived. I knew I couldn’t just sit and wait to die, so I ran away.”
"Jiang Yi was very strict with me. It was Shu Yuda who helped me escape."
"Who is Shu Yuda?" Lu Qing asked.
Mentioning this person, Jiang Yan's anger intensified:
"A beast! A beast even more despicable than Jiang Yi!"
“He said he loved me and didn’t want to see me imprisoned here by Jiang Yi, so he wanted to take me away to a place where Jiang Yi couldn’t find us and live a happy life.”
"I actually believed his nonsense and went with him, but he actually sold me to an evil cultivator. That evil cultivator used some method to revive the five elements spiritual veins in my body."
“He trapped me in a village deep in the mountains, with a fixed price of one thousand yuan a night. Those people extracted the power of the five elements from my body to cure illnesses or strengthen their bodies.”
At this point, Jiang Yan's body trembled with anger.
"For six whole months, I lived a life worse than death. That evil cultivator fed me a strange drug every day, which made me delirious and unable to escape."
"Perhaps Jiang Yi discovered the power of the Five Elements Spiritual Vein. He found me and brought me back. I don't remember much about what happened after that."
"But I suspect that Jiang Yi must have absorbed a lot of the power from the Five Elements Spiritual Veins in my body!"
Jiang Yan sneered, lowered her head, looked at the injuries on her body, and gritted her teeth to utter two words:
"So dirty!"
"It's not you who's dirty, it's them!"
Lu Qing held Jiang Yan's hand and looked at her intently:
"This isn't your fault, don't belittle yourself!"
Jiang Yan's body trembled, and large tears slid down her cheeks, but she held back her sobs.
"Feifei, let's go outside!"
Gu Fei nodded and left the room with Lu Qing, closing the door behind them.
Not long after, heart-wrenching cries came from inside the house.
"What's wrong with her?" Chu Qianmo asked.
Lu Qing recounted what had happened to Jiang Yan, and everyone was immediately shocked.
They never imagined that the leader of the Sui Shan Sect would be such a person.
At this moment, Yu Hengzi and Feng Yuan returned.
The union representatives came and took away all the traitorous disciples of the Sui Shan faction.
Lu Qing told his master and mistress about Jiang Yan's matter and pleaded:
"Master, do you have a way to remove the Five Elements Spiritual Veins from Jiang Yan's body?"
Yu Hengzi nodded: "That's possible, but she has to agree first!"
"The presence of the Five Elements spiritual veins in her body is also of great benefit to her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yan stepped forward and knelt before Yu Hengzi:
"Senior, I'm willing! Please, please remove the Five Elements Spiritual Veins!"
Yu Hengzi quickly helped her up:
"Child, do you really not want it anymore?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "These Five Elements Spiritual Veins were never mine to begin with. They brought me more pain than benefits, so why should I keep them?"
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I'll help you take it out."
As Yu Hengzi formed hand seals, about to retrieve the Five Elements Spiritual Veins, an attack came from behind him.
"I've long heard that the old Celestial Master of Qingyun Temple is quite powerful, so I've come today to experience his skills firsthand!"
