Heart-Eating
At dawn, Lei Lao disappeared along with Yu Jun, and the two guardians had already slipped away after realizing that something was wrong.
Now that the matter of the witch has been resolved and all the infected disciples have been cleared out, Yinchao will definitely send people to search for my sister's whereabouts... If my sister has really fallen into the devil's ways, Yinchao will not let her go!
I must find my sister before the disaster subsides.
"Little brother, which elder's disciple are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" A shifty-looking guy suddenly appeared beside Li Ling and looked at him bluntly.
The man had shifty eyes and a sharp chin, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
Li Ling's heart suddenly jumped up, he recognized this person.
Like Li Hongcai, he was a chores disciple of Yinchao, with no status. However, later on, this man took advantage of the situation and willingly followed Liqi, willing to do any work and having many ideas, which earned him the appreciation of Liqi, who gave him the name "Mouse".
He's changed his appearance, and most people can't see through his disguise, so I'd better just say a few words and get rid of him as soon as possible...
Before Li Ling could speak, Haozi's pair of sharp eyes swept across his face, directly piercing through his disguise.
"Li Ling?"
Li Ling ran away without saying a word.
The rat's eyes rolled, emitting a poisonous light, "Chase!"
Li Ling moved briskly through the forest. Looking at the people chasing him closely, he clenched his teeth and wished he could flip his palm and throw them ten miles away.
Unfortunately, the enemy is numerous and we are few, and he has no means to turn the tide.
"Catch him! Don't let him get away!"
"Over here!"
"Hurry up! We haven't eaten yet! If we don't hurry up, we're not going to catch anything!"
Li Ling looked coldly at the group of people running around like headless flies. Just as he was about to leave, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Where do you want to go?"
Bizarre!
Li You's younger brother, the most shameless and scoundrel in Yinchao, who is so bad that even his father, the patriarch of Yinchao, has difficulty in disciplining him.
Li Ling's heart suddenly jumped with shock, and the blood in his body froze. The next moment, he was kicked hard in the chest, and his body was pierced by countless silver needles. A fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged in his throat.
The chaotic forest was quiet for a moment, and then became noisy.
The bleeding wouldn't stop, and my spiritual energy stagnated...
The silver needle is poisonous...
Li Ling fell into the mud, but his brain clearly realized this. He endured the pain and stood up instinctively.
"Who allowed you to get up? Stay down for this young master!" As he said that, he kicked him hard and knocked him to the ground again.
This kick made Li Ling feel as if his whole body was torn apart. Every piece of flesh on his body screamed in pain, and the blood in his mouth could no longer be restrained and spurted out.
He looked at him strangely, found a more convenient place, and stepped firmly. He crushed it hard, bent down, and said contemptuously: "You dare to bully my people? Who gave you the guts! Hmm!"
Li Ling hugged his thigh and groaned, but Li Qi's face turned fierce and he pushed harder, causing him to sweat profusely due to the pain.
He gasped in pain, his eyes, black and white, gleaming with an unyielding spirit. "Li Hong is just a dog beside you. You don't care whether he lives or dies. You're retaliating against me simply because you feel you've lost face. Why bother pretending to be a good person? Your hypocritical posturing is disgusting!"
"I gave you the honor, but you dare to guess my thoughts!" Li Qi's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he kicked Li Ling in the face again in anger. "Serve me well, and serve me until I am satisfied."
There were chaotic footsteps in my ears. Those people stood beside Li Ling, mocking, scorning and ridiculing him...
His back was bent by the kick, his ribs were broken, blood was gushing out, his blue robe was soaked in blood, mud and water mixed with the flowing blood, it was impossible to tell one from the other.
pain……
It hurts...
"Second Young Master, this guy is so ungrateful that he even dares to contradict you."
Hearing Haozi's words, Li Qi knew that he had an idea and immediately became interested. He stepped carelessly on Li Ling's wound and poked it with the front of his shoe. "Speak."
Li Ling felt cold all over, and veins bulged on his blood-stained forehead, showing how much pain he was in. He curled himself up, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from making any painful noises and appearing weak.
"Second Young Master, look here." Haozi took out a porcelain bottle and held it in front of Li Qi. He glanced at Li Ling lying on the ground and said with a flattering smile, "This is the Heart-Eating Powder. After taking it, your heart will be eaten away like a thousand ants, leaving you in a state of uncertainty."
Haozi didn't avoid the others, and everyone around could hear it. Their eyes fell on the small porcelain bottle at the same time, and they shuddered in their hearts.
"What a good thing..." Before Haozi could be happy, Liqi looked at him jokingly with the porcelain bottle and asked, "Where did you get it?"
Upon hearing this, the joy that had just risen in Haozi was instantly extinguished. This strange man was narrow-minded and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he suspected that he had any ulterior motives, he would pour the poison into his mouth the next moment!
Panic surged in his heart, and Haozi hurriedly explained: "I got it from Qingya. Qingya was in chaos just now, and then..." He broke out in a cold sweat and spoke vaguely.
He glanced at him strangely and snorted with an ambiguous tone. Qingya was an expert in healing arts. He had been curing illnesses and saving lives for a hundred years and had a very good reputation. However, a "poison madman" had appeared in recent years... It was very likely that the medicine that Haozi had stolen was from the "poison madman" in Qingya who liked to study poisons.
Li Qi didn't care. He pried open the cork and stepped on Li Ling's wound even more vigorously. Seeing this, the disciple next to him reached out and pried open Li Ling's mouth very tactfully.
Li Ling struggled desperately, his eyes wide open and his eye sockets tearing.
Li Qi didn't care and poured all the medicine into his mouth with a crazy smile.
"ah--"
When everyone released Li Ling, they saw him writhing on the ground in agony. Blood gushed out of his body, and soon he was covered in blood.
He hadn't expected the drug to work so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, feeling both curious and strangely timid. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back to stare at the mouse. If the mouse had any bad intentions and drugged him...
Haozi was confused and wiped the non-existent sweat from his head.
During the struggle, the wounds on Li Ling's body burst open and the silver needles pierced deeply into his flesh, but these were child's play. The pain of thousands of ants devouring his heart tore at his sanity, and resentment filled his sea of consciousness. This was the first time in his life that he had a murderous intent to destroy the world.
Kill, kill...
"Hahahaha, Li Ling, aren't you stubborn? This young master lets you be stubborn, so today I will make you suffer. Hahahaha..."
Everyone gathered around Li Ling, listening to the strange laughter, and felt their scalps tingling and their bodies running cold.
They all knew that the reason why Lize, the leader of the Yinchao tribe, could not control his son was not only because Li Qi was disobedient, but also because Li Qi had seizures of madness at irregular intervals.
Even Li Ze was frightened by that madness.
Li Ling didn't know when they left, nor did he know how long he had been tortured by the drug.
He was like a corpse abandoned in the wilderness, suffering in the cold wind. He had no way to save himself, and no one could save him...
Li Ling recalled the past, and his eyes, which were originally like deep blue gemstones, were gradually filled with hatred.
He had been enduring it ever since he was old enough to understand. He could only endure it, endure it again and again, until he could no longer endure it, and the uncontrollable desire for revenge became another shackle imposed on him by others.
What did he do wrong? He did nothing wrong! He just had a father who had committed a sin.
Just because of this, does he deserve to be bullied like this?
It shouldn’t be like this, it shouldn’t be like this!
He told himself over and over in his heart.
Since he is powerless to change this terrible situation, unable to protect the people he wants to protect, and has made himself so miserable, then why can't he be even worse?
Even if there is, is there anything more cowardly than the way he is now, being chased every day and unable to resist!
Thinking of this, Li Ling let out a short, strange laugh from his throat with his last breath. As he laughed, he unlocked the seal in his sea of consciousness that he had previously avoided.
In an instant, Li Ling was surrounded by a strange black mist. At the same time, a dangerous voice sounded in his ears: "Hahahahaha, you finally agreed to untie me. I am finally free!"
·
The demon girl Yujun was sealed by Master Lei, and the fear that weighed on the hearts of the five tribesmen finally disappeared. However, what made the five tribesmen particularly worried was that they didn't know how to deal with those infected disciples.
The Five Tribes Council Hall.
"Now that the demon girl has been sealed, the demon's disciples are no longer mad, but they are still confused and stupid... If we wait too long, things might get out of hand. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible without any delay. Do you have any ideas?"
The five tribes had united to discuss post-disaster countermeasures, locked up the infected disciples, and sent the top medical practitioners from each tribe to accompany Qingya to treat them.
More than a month has passed and nothing has worked.
The leader of the Qingya tribe, Yuan Lin, has always had a gentle temperament, like the spring rain that nourishes all things. She dislikes killing the most. If there is a possibility of eradicating the disease, she will do her best to lead her tribe to treat it. Now she says this...
Li Ze drank his tea, remaining calm and composed. However, Clan Leader Jinming was hot-tempered and jumped up, "Clan Leader Yuan, are you planning to kill all of your disciples?"
Yuan Lin had been exhausted these days and couldn't stand the irritable temper of Chief Jinming, so she remained silent, which was equivalent to her tacit agreement after being helpless.
Li Ze quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "What is Patriarch Xing doing? Patriarch Yuan is also concerned about the safety of the other disciples of the Five Clans. Don't get excited, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly."
Xing Yan glared and snorted as he sat down. He looked at the woman beside him who looked noble yet not vulgar. "Does Chief Li have any solution?"
Li Yao, the head of the Zhufeng clan, raised his eyelids indifferently and said lazily, "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask the Supreme Elder. Since he was able to seal the demon girl, he must have a way to save those half-dead disciples."
"Ever since the witch was sealed, the Grand Elder has been in seclusion. We don't know when he will come out." Li Ze said embarrassedly. Seeing everyone's faces suddenly darken, he added: "The Grand Elder has always been elusive. Even I, the leader of the Hidden Tide Clan, don't know where he is. Otherwise, why didn't I ask the Grand Elder to come forward when the witch was making such a fuss?"
Everyone dispelled their suspicions about Lize.
Chief Panqiu didn't think too much of the complicated things. He couldn't figure them out. He got a headache just thinking about them, and when he felt the pain, he couldn't help but pull out his hair. "This isn't right, that isn't right, is there really no solution?"
Originally, when the demon woman persecuted the disciples of the five clans, he was about to stand up and fight her. However, in recent years, the momentum of the once-prosperous Hidden Tide has declined, the Five Spirits Holy Realm has been unstable, and while their Panqiu clan appears to be safe, their internal strength is not as strong as before.
He was now the backbone of Panqiu, and when there were no younger generations in Panqiu who could take on his responsibilities, he couldn't afford to get into trouble. He felt very aggrieved that he couldn't fight the demon girl, especially since the demon girl had been sealed, and they had no way to deal with her aftermath.
Just when the five people were at a loss, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the meeting hall of the five tribes.
Before anyone else could take action, the man in black robes said, "I have a plan."
The voice was not disguised at all, it was a boy's voice, but there was a calmness in the voice that was rare for someone of this age.
Li Ze exclaimed in surprise: "Li Ling!"
Upon hearing this, the other four clan leaders looked in surprise at Li Ling who calmly took off his cloak.
It's no wonder they were so startled. Yinchao had been hunting down Li Ling for the past month, but no matter how many people they sent out, Li Ling disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. It was said that Yinchao was about to give up, but they didn't expect that this person would show up at this critical juncture.
Yuan Lin asked anxiously, "Are you telling the truth?"
The other four tribes don’t care whether Li Ling is a fugitive or not. As long as there is a way to solve the problem, they will protect him first.
If Li Ling really has a way, it is not impossible for him to atone for his sins after he has accomplished something meritorious.
"Of course it's true."
Li Yao: "Your current identity is quite complicated. What can you do to make us trust you?"
Li Ling's expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand, and a man in Qingya clothing appeared beside him. "Chief Yuan, do you recognize him?"
The man stood there with his eyes closed. His face no longer had the ferocious fangs and fangs of the day the witch descended, but the black aura wrapped around him was still there.
Yuan Lin studied the man's face, then his attire, then frowned and said, "He's my Qingya disciple, but I'm not very familiar with him."
As the head of the clan, with so many people in the clan, it is understandable that he did not recognize him at the first time.
Li Ling: "He is the follower of the Second Elder Yuan Jing."
When Li Ling said that, Yuan Lin remembered and said with a frown, "Indeed."
The Second Elder of Qingya is the youngest elder of Qingya, and his follower Yuan Lin has met him several times.
Li Ling snapped his fingers crisply, and soon, wisps of black energy from the disciple seeped out of his body and penetrated into Li Ling's palm.
When the black energy stopped coming out of that person, Li Ling took the initiative to withdraw his hands and said, "That's it."
The Panqiu tribe leader was stunned and said, "Is it that simple? Don't try to bluff us, or I'm not kidding about my hammer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opened his eyes.
The others immediately became alert.
The man looked confused and rubbed his eyes. When he saw who was in front of him, he quickly made a Qingya-style gesture and said, "Greetings, Chief."
Yuan Lin asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
He was clearly still out of his element, but he still replied respectfully, "Nothing unusual."
When he was infected, he was sometimes conscious, although not fully, but he still knew a little about what happened after being bitten.
Seeing this, Yuan Lin's eyes sparkled: "In that case..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Li Ling: "I'm not helping you for free, I have conditions."
Li Yao showed a rare interest. "You say, as long as it's reasonable, you can set any conditions."
There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since Li Ling volunteered to help, asking for some benefits wouldn't be unreasonable. Except for Li Ze, the other clan leaders all nodded in agreement.
Li Ling smiled, brushed off his robe, and said nonchalantly: "You said so."
