The person who flew out uncontrollably was Xue Kong.
He was like a leaf falling in the wind, completely losing control of his body. He floated up and then fell heavily to the ground not far from Bai Gong with a loud bang.
Xue Kong felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.
But his movements were smooth, without a single pause. After falling to the ground, he immediately got up and bowed to Zhang Wensheng with a fist. "Senior, spare my life. I didn't mean to eavesdrop in the dark."
"I'm really worried about your safety, so I risked my life to stay here."
"Young Master?" Zhang Wensheng raised his eyebrows.
"This girl is my mistress. She is also my senior sister. She and I are fellow disciples." Xue Kong spoke quickly, with visible panic on his face.
Zhang Wensheng looked at Jiuxing Lian'er with an inquiring look.
The latter paused slightly and nodded, "Indeed."
"Your loyalty is evident." Zhang Wensheng's eyes showed a hint of admiration as he looked at Xue Kong. Even though he knew it was extremely dangerous, he still risked his life to stay in order to protect the young master's safety.
There are not many such loyal servants in the world.
"Forget it, you two should go away from here." Zhang Wensheng believed that Chi Yao was dead. If he killed Jiuxing Lian'er as well to vent his anger for Chi Yao, wouldn't that go against his original intention of saving people.
What's more, this would constitute a sin of killing, which goes against his pure and kind nature.
Although Jiuxing Lian'er's father committed a heinous crime, it had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you, Senior." Xue Kong immediately thanked the two of them upon seeing this, then stood up and ran towards Jiuxing Lian'er, holding her arm and saying affectionately, "My lady, please let us go, let's go."
His smile was so gentle and friendly that Jiuxing Lian'er paused.
After the two men walked away, Zhang Wensheng looked grim. He really didn't expect such a bad consequence. However, things had come to this point. Chi Yao was already dead, and even he couldn't save him.
Finally, he shook his head regretfully and turned into a long rainbow with Bai Gong.
Jiuxing Lian'er was supported by Xue Kong and walked forward along the mountain path. She looked calm, with her head slightly lowered, her mind full of thoughts.
"Xue Kong is a scheming person. He was the one who initiated our separation last time. Whether he knew Chi Yao's true identity in advance and used this to put me in this predicament is still unknown."
Jiuxing Lian'er became alert.
When she saw Xue Kong for the first time, she paid special attention to him. It was not the admiration between a man and a woman, but she regarded him as an enemy and was wary of him.
She still remembered that the cultivator who chased Xue Kong was at the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
But when she looked at Xue Kong's whole body, he didn't seem to be injured at all.
What surprised her even more was that, although it was inconvenient to use her spiritual sense to scan Xue Kong's cultivation level, she found that the aura emanating from Xue Kong was no longer as weak as when they parted last time.
Xue Kong is now someone she needs to pay attention to in terms of cultivation.
How many days have passed?
What on earth had Xue Kong experienced these days that caused his cultivation to improve so quickly?
What happened to the cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Condensation who was chasing him?
Jiuxing Lian'er's guesses about Xue Kong came one after another in her mind. As she continued to think deeply, she gradually elevated Xue Kong to a position comparable to her own.
"His soul and blood are in my body. No matter how treacherous and cunning he is, I can kill him with just a thought!" Jiuxing Lian'er's eyes flashed with cold light. This is her greatest reliance now.
This is the domineering nature of soul blood.
Even though she was seriously injured and unable to exert the full strength of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, she could kill Xue Kong with just a thought.
"My lady, you look very pale and haggard." Xue Kong approached and spoke softly.
His gaze remained on Jiuxing Lian'er's face, which was as pale as a dead person's skin.
At such a close distance, he didn't even need to use his spiritual sense to scan. Just by judging from the weak aura, he could guess that Jiuxing Lian'er was seriously injured. Only one tenth of her cultivation remained.
"I'm fine." Jiuxing Lian'er said in a cold voice.
He pulled his arm back from Xue Kong's hand, and his limp body almost fell. He swayed for a bit before he managed to stand up straight with difficulty.
She took a deep breath, pretending to be strong, and said coldly, "You can leave and seek your own opportunity. I want to find a place to retreat and recuperate."
"My dear, what are you talking about?"
Xue Kong smiled slightly, his eyes flashing: "Since I am your servant, how can I not serve you? Moreover, you are so weak, I can't just leave."
"Are you worried that after I die, your soul and blood will also be destroyed, and you will be buried with me?" Jiuxing Lian'er turned her head, her dark purple eyes shooting out a sharp look, staring into Xue Kong's eyes.
Very imposing.
Xue Kong didn't expect Jiuxing Lian'er to suddenly speak so bluntly. He smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. He quickly lowered his head slightly to avoid her gaze.
However, despite appearing weak on the surface, he sneered inwardly: "She can no longer remain calm and composed, and is eager to force me to leave. This proves that my intuition is correct. She is at her weakest right now."
"She's afraid of me."
"I will leave after I find a place for you to retreat." Xue Kong finally said.
Jiuxing Lian'er looked at his calm face, as if she wanted to see through Xue Kong's thoughts. Unfortunately, Xue Kong was calm and didn't let her see anything. She could never guess what Xue Kong was thinking.
Of course, with Xue Kong's soul blood in her body, she had nothing to worry about.
The reason why she didn't kill Xue Kong immediately was because of the dominance of his soul blood, which made her confident that she had the means to completely control Xue Kong.
In Jiuxing Lian'er's opinion, killing Xue Kong is easy, but what happens after killing him?
In this dangerous Demon Valley, if she wants to stay, she cannot walk around freely with her injured body.
The reason why she drove Xue Kong away was indeed as Xue Kong had guessed. She was extremely weak and it was inevitable that she could not take care of other things while she was healing.
As long as her injuries recover after treatment, she can find Xue Kong again and threaten him with his soul and blood to make him protect her in the Demon Valley.
Jiuxing Lian'er was far-sighted and had calculated everything in her mind. When she heard Xue Kong's softening words, she pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Xue Kong's proposal.
Xue Kong took Jiuxing Lian'er to find a hidden cave. At the entrance of the cave, Jiuxing Lian'er stopped and had no intention of going in immediately.
Xue Kong knew that this was a hint for him to leave.
He chuckled, staring at Jiuxing Lian'er's frail back, and suddenly called out softly, "Young Master?"
"Huh?" Jiuxing Lian'er heard the shout and turned around.
Just at this moment, two fingers pointed at Jiuxing Lian'er's eyebrows at an extremely fast speed. The speed of the fingers was so fast that when Jiuxing Lian'er just noticed it, her eyebrows were hit hard.
"You are looking for death!" As soon as a look of shock appeared on Jiuxing Lian'er's face, she turned stern and without hesitation, she found Xue Kong's soul blood in her sea of consciousness and decided to destroy it immediately.
Her style of doing things has always been known to be cold-blooded and ruthless, not much worse than that of the Poison Tolerant.
