Chapter 63
In the ward
Li Fang felt so comfortable, her whole body felt extremely comfortable.
She was so comfortable that she didn't want to move, but then she thought of her daughter. Li Fang struggled to open her eyes, only to see a blank white light.
The afterlife is so bright!
She subconsciously reached out and rubbed her eyes, trying to see what the world after death looked like.
Startled awake by the noise, Liu Yunqing went to the bedside and said, "Afang, you're awake!"
Hearing her husband's voice, Li Fang closed her eyes and turned her head toward the source of the voice: "Oh, Yun Qing, you're here too. Perfect timing, let's go find our daughter."
"Our family of three is finally reunited."
Liu Yunqing's eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Afang, I'm here. We're not dead yet."
"He's not dead." Li Fang squinted, adjusting her eyes to the light. Hearing this, she assumed the old man hadn't yet come to terms with reality. Her voice was very soft: "You're dead! I'm dead too! Our daughter is dead too!"
"They lied to us!"
"Yes, I know, Fang."
Liu Yunqing leaned close to Li Fang's head and whispered in her ear, "Fang, you're not dead. Look at me. We still have to atone for those innocent people. We can't let our daughter be unable to rest in peace after her death."
The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, tickling her, and the real sensation made Li Fang's eyes widen.
The surrounding rooms were all white and clean; it turned out to be a hospital ward!
She's not dead!
Li Fang glanced at the haggard-looking old Liu and said, "Alright, let's spend the rest of our lives atoning for our sins."
"Knock knock..."
"Li Fang is in this ward," a nurse's voice rang out from outside the door.
Liu Yunqing got up, and the ward door opened at the same time.
Several imposing men in uniforms walked in together.
"police officer!"
"Hello, we are from the Bureau of Abnormal Investigations. Liu Yunqing, you and your wife Li Fang are involved in a cult case. We need to ask you some questions. Please answer truthfully."
...
The blazing sunlight streamed into the backyard, but the light falling on the ground felt like the warmth of winter, warm and bright.
The temperature under the aura shield has become constant.
It's as if there's an extra temperature regulator. Every time the researchers from the neighboring research institute come to Lingxi Courtyard, their eyes are burning with desire as they gaze at the Xingling Grass.
But they have no cultivation.
They could only approach and take a look when the three of them, master and disciples, were present.
Otherwise, Lingxi was afraid of the water lily in the courtyard, and each plant had to be surrounded by a group of people.
"Woof woof..."
The three four-eyed Bao Zheng dogs, now grown taller, have finally shed their babyish appearance and are starting to grow like teenagers entering puberty.
Tai Chi and Yin Yang continued to run around the yard, playing around but restraining themselves and not causing any trouble.
Liangyi lay obediently at Lingxi's feet, her little ears perking up from time to time, as if she were listening intently to their conversation.
After finishing a cup of flower tea brewed by her master, Jin Moli smacked her lips. She loved the rich floral fragrance in her mouth, which made her feel pleasantly sweet.
Lingxi noticed her subtle movements and raised an eyebrow: "Is the freshly brewed rose tea not bad?"
"It smells so good."
"Master, this is for you." Jin Moli said, taking a red certificate out of her bag.
"Oh, our Jasmine isn't even an adult yet, and she already owns a house on her own?"
Lingxi picked up the bright red property certificate, feigning surprise on her face.
Jin Moli chuckled, "Master, it's all yours."
"Give it to me? Are you willing to do that?"
"I'm willing!" The answer was quick and easy, without the slightest hesitation.
Lingxi couldn't help but laugh: "You keep it for yourself, your master has his own!"
Lingxi, as the chief consultant, receives a considerable amount of treatment from the country.
She then turned to Yun Qingzi: "Your Taoist temple will be renovated in a few days. You can leave your things here with me and cultivate here as well, without having to make another trip."
"Why."
Yun Qingzi nurtured the compass in his hand and responded lightly.
This is truly a joyous occasion.
Having lived for fifty years and followed his master for less than a year, Linxi Temple is about to undergo a complete transformation and be completely renewed.
very nice!
...
That day
With the formation destroyed, Liu Yan and Yun Tinglan, who had been eagerly waiting in the courtyard, leisurely entered the hall to finish up when the time came.
Thinking of the reward after the mission was accomplished, Liu Yan's face lit up with joy. "Perhaps this time we can firmly hold the position of the leaders of the Chinese branch of the church."
The woman smiled smugly: "Not only that, I've heard that if you take one more step, you can stay young forever and never age."
"We'll have plenty of fun days ahead of us!"
The meticulously dressed man listened to the woman's words, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.
But their joy lasted only a few seconds before they were stunned as soon as they stepped inside.
The hall was in a mess, but what caught their attention most were the two large characters covering the broken array in the hall.
"waste."
Yun Tinglan read the two words aloud.
Her gaze then fell to the two jade pendants lying on the ground in the middle, and she was startled. This…
The formation actually failed!
Liu Yan recognized the handwriting and was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud. Her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes were filled with terror as she said to Yun Tinglan, "This is my master's handwriting..."
Things turned out like this in front of the grandmaster.
It’s over!
"What!" Yun Tinglan's face changed drastically. Thinking of the consequences, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
The Guiyuan Holy Sect possesses supreme magical arts, and naturally, it also has methods that will make even your death unbearable.
Thinking of the punishment that awaited them, Yun Tinglan suppressed her fear, trembling as she knelt down and kowtowed to the statue of her master on the shrine to confess her sins.
"Grandmaster, Tinglan knows she was wrong and will never be careless again. Please forgive us this time."
"Grandmaster..."
Liu Yan immediately followed up: "Grandmaster, please give us another chance, we..."
The two looked upwards with pleading eyes, but there was still no response. After an unknown amount of time, a soft, crisp sound came from above.
The two immediately looked up in surprise, but...
They initially thought it was their master manifesting his power, but upon realizing it was the jade pendant that had shattered, the two turned ashen-faced.
As long as the jade exists, the person lives; if the jade shatters, the person dies.
Grandmaster, they're not even giving them the slightest chance of survival...
"No, no, I don't want to."
Yun Tinglan refused to accept her fate; she wanted to run away from here, to run far away.
But it was too late. How could someone who knew a few tricks escape? The moment the jade tablet turned to dust, a faint light flashed above the shrine in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the two people below felt a jolt in their souls, and their bodies were imprisoned in place.
"ah!"
"Liu Yan, I regret it—"
The stunningly beautiful woman frowned deeply. Her once meticulously cared-for hair was now soaked with sweat and clung messily to her neck. Her body trembled slightly as if she were enduring inhuman pain.
Liu Yan's pupils gradually dilated. After hearing her partner's gloomy tone, she gave a sad smile and then fell silent.
In the quiet and magnificent hall, before the tears in Yun Tinglan's eyes could fall, her soul uncontrollably separated from her body and fell into the shrine.
"Click~"
The statue of the ancestor on the shrine also turned to dust in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
Only two still-warm, fresh corpses remained in the empty hall.
The hall returned to calm. At this moment, a fully armed man in uniform cautiously entered the hall. Upon seeing the two people lying in the hall, he carefully surveyed the hall and, finding no danger, slowly approached.
Extend two fingers to check for breath and a non-pulsating carotid artery to confirm death.
He immediately reported it.
Meanwhile, Yuan Lianyu and Yuan Chen, who were hiding in a corner, were apprehended together.
The Guiyuan Holy Sect's influence across the country was severely suppressed, forcing it to withdraw from China.
Lingxi, who was behind the scenes, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after learning everything.
Those annoying guys are finally gone.
Next, I hope they can patiently wait for her to come over and teach them what manners are!
...
"Hey, which unit are you from?"
"I am from [specific unit]..."
"Me too."
The person being asked looked puzzled: "Really? I've never seen you before."
"Hehe, I've never met you either. I live in the next city, which is a little bit far from you."
The person being asked: "..."
This isn't even one place; it's in another province.
Yang Lanling: "..."
"Where are we going and what mission are we going to do? I'm so excited!"
Inside the quiet carriage, whispers could be heard from time to time, which Yang Lanling, with her sharp ears, overheard.
Just as he expected, those who were able to get on the bus were all elites in the military.
He remained silent, looking out the window at the scenery several times, without any surprise in his eyes.
Soon, their vehicle arrived at a checkpoint. Everyone got out of the car for inspection, changed clothes, and checked their luggage. After a series of checks, everyone knew that this trip was definitely not ordinary.
After changing to a different car, Yang Lanling could clearly feel that the person next to him was breathing rapidly.
Surrounded by mountains, after passing through several checkpoints, they emerged from a tunnel and gradually came into view a vibrant and new base.
The base is located at the bottom of a valley surrounded by mountains. From the road in, the roadside is lined with towering trees. Most of the buildings are new, yet they are entwined with layers of flowering vines, with hundreds of flowers blooming in a riot of colors.
The transformation of the once quiet village in a short period of time left Yang Lanling, who had visited Linxi Cave, somewhat incredulous.
The two vehicles were parked in a lush green parking lot with a century-old locust tree in the center, and a team of fully armed soldiers stood beside the vehicles.
The soldiers stood in rows, not solemn, but never relaxed. Their eyes were highly focused and scrutinizing, and Yang Lanling could feel the indescribable pressure even through the window.
That's the aura that comes naturally from seeing blood and going to the battlefield.
The people on the bus became serious, silently got off the bus one by one, lined up, and waited for instructions.
"Instructor Yun, twenty people should be present! Twenty people are present! Reporting complete!"
"Captain Li, thank you for your hard work."
At this moment, the man in the Taoist robe standing in front of the soldiers stepped forward, bowed slightly, and introduced himself:
"Everyone, welcome back. My name is Yun Qingzi, and I will be your head instructor from now on."
After a brief introduction, Captain Li led everyone to the dormitory.
They were all military and police personnel, and their greatest strength was their obedience to orders, so they kept their doubts to themselves.
Their dormitories had already been arranged, and after giving instructions, Captain Li left.
The dormitory is a converted residential house, with two people per room, bunk beds with desks underneath, and a washroom and toilet. The toilet has a water heater and shower, and everything you need is provided.
With the captain and instructors absent, the newly arrived group began to chat.
Yang Lanling didn't participate. He silently took his luggage, went upstairs, and arrived at his dormitory.
Just as I was about to open the door, I heard unmistakable footsteps behind me.
"Da da da~"
"Hey, wait for me, I'm in this dorm too."
