Guan Xiaoniang was stunned at first when she heard this, then she hurriedly helped Lin Chen up and hurriedly carried him to the house. She let Lin Chen lie on the bed and said in a trembling voice, "Master...what can I do for you?"
"No need," Lin Chen said hoarsely while lying on the bed, "Just let me sleep and rest for a while."
When Guan Xiaoniang heard this, she nodded hurriedly. She stood up and covered Lin Chen with a quilt, then turned around and went out in a hurry. After waiting for a while, she heard a scream from outside and rushed out.
As soon as she went out, she saw that the sky was bright and many monks were standing above, staring at them coldly.
The people of Taiping Town trembled. Guan Xiaoniang turned and rushed into the room. She knelt beside the bed, grabbed Lin Chen's hand, and said anxiously, "Master, there are so many cultivators outside! They are coming! They are here to capture us!"
Lin Chen struggled to open his eyes.
"Don't be afraid," she gasped. "With me here, they won't dare to break through the barrier rashly. Just don't go out."
Guan Xiaoniang trembled and dared not answer. At this moment, a voice sounded in Guan Xiaoniang's mind.
"People of Taiping Town, you harbored the demon and deserve Heaven's punishment. The town's wells have long been filled with a water demon's poison. Only the flesh and blood of immortals can cure this poison. If you don't detoxify in time, you will be dead before dawn."
This was obviously not meant for one person, but Lin Chen seemed not to hear it. Before Guan Xiaoniang could react, she heard the other party continue, "Don't believe it? Look at your hands."
Guan Xiaoniang pulled up her sleeves and saw that her arms had already turned black.
She was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Lin Chen was a little worried and called out, "Little girl?"
"Nothing... nothing."
Guan Xiaoniang stood up hurriedly: "Master, you take a rest first, I...I'll go out and take a look."
With that, Guan Xiaoniang rushed out. As soon as she rushed out, she was surrounded by the townspeople. The mayor came forward, put a pill in her hand, and said sternly, "Let her take it."
Guan Xiaoniang was trembling, not daring to move. The mayor saw Guan Xiaoniang's hesitation and squeezed her hand tightly: "You don't want to live anymore, don't you want your parents' lives too?!"
When Guan Xiaoniang heard this, she was stunned for a moment. After a moment, she gritted her teeth, turned around and went into the house.
"Little girl," Lin Chen asked the person who came in, "Is it dawn yet?"
"No."
"How long will it take?"
"It's still a long time."
Lin Chen responded, and Guan Xiaoniang went to the table and poured tea for Lin Chen. Her hands were shaking, and the teacup jingled. Lin Chen whispered, "Xiaoniang, are you scared?"
"Um."
Guan Xiaoniang suppressed the sobbing in her voice, poured out the tea, dissolved the pill in the water, and handed it to Lin Chen: "Master, let me give you some water."
"good."
As she spoke, she helped Lin Chen up and fed him some water.
As soon as she took a sip of the water, Lin Chen felt something was wrong. She pushed Guan Xiaoniang away, raised her hand and pointed her sword in front of her, and shouted, "What did you give me to drink?!"
As soon as the loud shout was heard, the room was suddenly opened. All the townspeople surrounded Lin Chen with sharp weapons in their hands. Some of them had black faces. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and looked at Lin Chen nervously.
"You..." Lin Chen looked at them in disbelief, "What are you doing?"
"Master," Guan Xiaoniang knelt down suddenly, her tears unable to stop. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging her like every time before, "Master, please save us, please save us. They have poisoned the water. We can't survive without eating your flesh and blood."
"flesh?"
Lin Chen trembled and said, "You, want to eat my flesh and blood?"
No one dared to speak. Guan Xiaoniang knelt down and kowtowed. The people around her were on guard at all times. Lin Chen raised his head and slowly scanned the faces of these people.
Her hand gripping the sword trembled slightly. "I saved you. I fell to this point for you. And you want to eat my flesh and blood just to stay alive?"
After Lin Chen finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing, but she felt like crying.
You say, can she hate these people?
Everyone wants to live, it's human nature, she can't be hateful.
But doesn't she hate it?
Even though she has practiced Taoism till now, even though she has become an immortal and a saint, even though she claims to protect the world with a single sword, when she is in a desperate situation, she can't help but wonder, why is she protecting these people?
She was a child of destiny, the young master of the Lin family, and she had a bright future.
Lin Chen gripped the sword tightly, and the sword body vibrated violently, revealing the unstable emotions in Lin Chen's heart.
At the same time, a cultivator's voice, tinged with laughter, came from outside: "Lin Chen, you gave up your position as Young Master of the Lin Family, gave up the peaceful life you and Fu Yushu had, and caused Fu Yushu to lose his profound spiritual roots and his position as Young Master. Is this the only group of people you saved?"
Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The heavy rain washed away all sounds. In the distance, inside the Fu family sect, a baby was floating in the formation. Fu Yushu was lying on the ground. His vision was blurred and he tried hard to crawl over. He saw every one of his clansmen, with their children, dropping blood into the formation.
The blood coiled up like silk threads and then penetrated into the baby's body.
The baby cried out in pain, and Fu Yushu climbed over with his body trembling.
"Lin Chen, you could have taken care of everything. You shouldn't have come to Taiping Town, ignored their requests, and ignored their lives. That way, your husband, your children, and you would have been fine."
"But you took care of it."
"When spiritual energy is depleted, someone must sacrifice. You hindered Hongmeng Heavenly Palace today, but you can't prevent it in the future. Originally, once the Ten Thousand Bone Cliff Spiritual Vein was cultivated, Yunze would no longer have to worry. But now that the Ten Thousand Bone Cliff Spiritual Vein has disappeared, and your child happens to be the Son of Heaven, then he will have to bear the brunt of your sins."
"From now on, he will repay your debt. He will give his life's good fortune to his people, and his lifelong spiritual power will be sacrificed to the people of Yunze. And all this is because of you."
Just as she finished speaking, a beam of light shot up into the sky from the distant Fu family lobby, wrapping the baby in it. Lin Chen opened her eyes wide suddenly, and at that moment, the long sword in her hand that had been vibrating could no longer bear it and suddenly broke!
A mouthful of blood spurted out of her chest. The monk above her shouted, "Her Dao heart is ruined. Why don't you tie her up?"
Lin Chen's vision was blurry, but she knew what had happened.
She is connected to Fu Changling by blood. Even though she doesn't know what happened exactly, with her level of Tribulation Crossing, she can still clearly sense that something happened to Fu Changling.
She tried her best to get out, but she had lost her heart, could no longer lift the sword, and was poisoned, and was no different from an ordinary person.
Countless people rushed towards her, and she struggled hard to break free from them.
Hoes hit her, sticks beat her, and those usually docile people rushed up like crazy, gnawing at her flesh and biting her body.
She couldn't think of anything else. She just wanted to see Fu Yushu and Fu Changling.
But she only saw people who looked like evil spirits, as if there was no end and no rest.
She wanted to seek the great way and the best in the world.
But her kindness, her compassion, and her dedication can never satisfy human desires.
She can't blame anyone, that's human nature.
Everyone wants to live, everyone wants to find a way to survive.
But if she can't blame anyone, who can she blame?
Blame herself for being too kind?
Is it her own fault that she can't stand the injustice in the world?
Blame it on herself for not being selfish enough and not caring enough about others.
In despair and agony, she was finally smashed to the ground.
She prostrated herself on the ground and laughed silently.
The townspeople nearby tied her up according to the instructions of the heavenly monk, and carried her all the way to a cave where they were offering sacrifices.
They tied Lin Chen to the bed in the cave, and then they knelt on the ground.
"Master, I'm sorry. You are an immortal, so you shouldn't bother with us. I will save him to the end. Please forgive me."
As they spoke, they walked forward, and with trembling hands, they slashed the sharp blades at Lin Chen.
And at the moment when the Fu family's light column shot up into the sky, Fu Changling and Qin Yan instantly realized that something was wrong.
Fu Changling's face changed drastically, and he immediately tried to contact Fu Yushu and Lin Chen, but they didn't respond at all. His spiritual power surged, and he instantly pushed aside those cultivators, grabbed Qin Yan, and rushed towards the light column, saying anxiously, "Something happened."
"It's the Fu family."
Qin Yan's expression was calm, without any sign of surprise.
Fu Changling didn't say anything. He used up a lot of spiritual power to temporarily open a teleportation array, and then he and Qin Yan arrived at the door of the Fu family.
Qin Yan split open the Fu family's gate with a sword, and Fu Changling saw the baby in the middle of the formation and Fu Yushu lying on the ground.
His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the child in shock.
The baby was weak and dazed, his body covered in blood. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Fu Changling who was standing in front of the door.
Fu Changling knew what it was at a glance.
Blood pact, the entire Fu family formed a blood pact with this child.
What blood pact had they made with this child? What did they want with this child?
Fu Changling's gaze moved downwards to the formation below.
Although the language of the formation was complicated, he could still see it.
This is a curse that will transfer the child's life energy to the people who have made a pact with him. When the child is thirty years old, all the spiritual power in the child will be transferred to the people who have made a pact with him.
No matter how high this child's cultivation level or ability is, as long as one of the people present today is alive.
This child will complete the contract when he or she is thirty years old.
Fu Changling felt cold all over as he scanned the faces of these people one by one.
They were people he was familiar with, his second uncle, third uncle, and third great uncle...
He opened his mouth, unable to speak. Seeing him stunned, Qin Yan drew his sword and rushed forward. He raised his hand and cut the blood from the child's body with a sword. He pulled the child into his arms, then pulled Fu Yushu up and quickly retreated, shouting, "Changling!"
Fu Changling suddenly woke up and hurriedly chased Qin Yan back.
The Fu family didn't seem to want to stop them, so they left with them.
Fu Changling caught up with Qin Yan. Qin Yan was holding the child in one hand and flying in front of the sword. Fu Changling stood behind Qin Yan, took over the unconscious Fu Yushu, used his spiritual power to transfer Fu Yushu's body, and desperately fed Fu Yushu medicine.
His hands were shaking.
He didn't know what he was shaking about or what he was afraid of.
This is clearly just a memory of the mind. It has already happened and is irreversible. What is there to be afraid of?
But he was still panicked. He vaguely guessed something, but didn't dare to think about it.
He fed Fu Yushu the medicine in a panic. Fu Yushu woke up from his trance. He looked around and struggled to get up: "Which direction are we going now?"
"Taiping Town."
Qin Yan replied calmly: "If Senior Lin and Senior Yue went to Wangu Cliff, it should be fine."
But they discovered that Lin Chen's consciousness was in Taiping Town.
Qin Yan didn't say this out loud, but Fu Yushu had already guessed it. He noticed that Qin Yan had openly called Lin Chen "Senior Lin". He was silent for a long time. After a long while, he raised his head and looked at Fu Changling, saying seriously, "Tell me the truth."
"Later," he said, his eyes filled with sorrow and his voice hoarse, "where did she... die?"
Fu Changling was speechless for a moment.
Fu Yushu stared at him: "Speak."
"Judgment Stand..."
"Speak clearly!"
"Hongmeng Heavenly Palace's Judgment Platform," Fu Changling suddenly looked up at Fu Yushu and roared, "You killed her with your own hands!"
