Chapter 111: The End of the Road and the Wagtail's Song
Long Qi carefully examined Lingxiang, his face full of nervousness. He didn't know whether Lingxiang was injured, but he didn't dare to overstep the line in front of Zhao Wuyang and Adao.
Lingxiang didn't look like she did before, her expression had returned to normal. But although she said that everything was fine, she was comforting the worried Long Qi while listening carefully to Zhao Wuyang's pulse.
Zhao Wuyang's walking on the Gang Dao consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Even after taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, he still had to force himself to do the walking on the Gang Dao again.
In fact, Zhao Wuyang was already fine, and Lingxiang's elixir would naturally not go wrong, but she was still very worried. Zhao Wuyang's resolute look lingered in her mind.
She had never thought that anyone would die for her, never, but at that time Zhao Wuyang was clearly determined to die!
Long Qi frowned as he looked at Lingxiang. He had never seen Lingxiang show such concern for others as she did today. It wasn't that Lingxiang didn't care about others, but she always made plans for others without leaving any trace, even in the midst of laughter and anger.
Looking at Lingxiang like this, Long Qi's eyes darkened. Thinking back to the time just now, Lingxiang's expression was something he had never seen before. Her eyes were filled with fear and deep remorse...
If Xinyi and I hadn't rushed back in time, Lingxiang and Wuyang would have died at the hands of that old witch.
When he thought of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Long Qi's eyes.
That woman, Yinghua, had murdered his family and was now trying to take Lingxiang away from him. It was a blessing she ran away so quickly. If she met him again, she would be doomed!
While Long Qi was lost in thought, Lingxiang had already finished treating Zhao Wuyang. Zhao Wuyang dusted off his robes, stood up, and looked out of the cave, his eyes filled with worry.
"Brother Xinyi..."
Although he hadn't finished speaking, everyone knew what he wanted to say. Long Qi sighed and said nothing.
"I guess Madam Lu is saying goodbye to him now!"
Lingxiang said as she held Long Qi's hand, and Long Qi shook her hand back, but his eyes were looking outside the cave - he was also very worried about Xinyi.
"Farewell?" Zhao Wuyang was puzzled. "What farewell?"
Lingxiang sighed and thought of Zhuhuang of Kunwu Sect, who was just a child.
"That's what Xianghua does. She traps a person's soul in a body. That way, she can know everything about that body and deceive others."
Zhao Wuyang's eyes widened when he heard this. Peeling off a person's skin was already extremely cruel, and then trapping their soul in the skin... This... This is simply...
"Inhumane!" Zhao Wuyang said hatefully with a frown.
Lingxiang smiled, but her smile looked a little sad: "She is a demon, how can she be humane?" She hasn't even told me the worse thing yet!
If one wants to confine the soul within the body, one must skin the person alive. This is something Lingxiang later read in "Majin Yihua".
However, Lingxiang looked at the mist outside the cave and did not say this. Zhao Wuyang was a simple child, innocent and kind. At his age, it was better not to let him know such dark things.
She really couldn't forget that look, that smile, and...
And there is Long Qi.
Although I lost my mind at that time, I was not out of my mind.
…
Yinghua roared, raised her claws, and smashed down. Zhao Wuyang also shouted Beidou's name. Lingxiang pulled Zhao Wuyang with all her might. There was a loud bang, and wood fragments flew everywhere. The Huanghuali table and chairs were smashed to pieces...
However, it was just a table and chairs. Not far away, Long Qi was holding Lingxiang with his back to Yinghuan, while Zhao Wuyang was carried on Xinyi's shoulder with one hand and a tray with a teapot and teacups on it in the other hand.
"We've been running all the way, so tea is essential." Xinyi said, putting Zhao Wuyang down.
Zhao Wuyang finally came to his senses from his surprise. Seeing Xinyi, tears welled up in his eyes. He thought this was the end of the road, and he had already made up his mind to die.
Seeing him like this, Xinyi smiled, patted his head, and handed the tray over: "Thank you for your help."
Zhao Wuyang took the tray and tears rolled down his eyes.
Long Qi also gently put Lingxiang down, but Lingxiang felt that Long Qi was a little different. She could feel that Long Qi was full of hostility.
Lingxiang looked up at Long Qi, but he had already rushed out with his sword. The Longyuan Sword glowed red, steaming the surrounding water vapor as Long Qi slashed at it violently, each blow fierce and unnatural.
Under Long Qi's fierce sword moves, Yinghuan was completely unable to fight back and could only use her giant turtle to resist.
Despite this, Long Qi was unable to do anything to her. Even though Yinghua had drunk the Lingxiang tea and was weak and unable to attack, she was still a Demon General after all, while Long Qi was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The difference in strength was so great that he only inflicted a few shallow wounds on her.
But Long Qi did not stop. His sword moves looked disorganized, as if he was just swinging randomly.
No! He was just slashing randomly! Long Qi didn't treat Long Yuan as a sword at all, but slashed like a knife!
Seeing Long Qi like this, Lingxiang suddenly remembered that Long Qi had fallen into the same situation in Liangcheng last year. She hurriedly said to Xinyi, "Stop him quickly! Otherwise, he will go crazy!"
Xin Yi naturally noticed Long Qi's abnormality, but he couldn't intervene for the time being. Long Qi's spiritual energy was chaotic and his sword energy was rampant. If he wanted to stop him, he had to find a flaw, otherwise he might be implicated.
At this moment, perhaps because Yinghuan had accumulated enough strength, she turned around and exposed herself in front of Long Qi. Then she caught the Longyuan Sword with one claw, and the other claw, wrapped in poisonous gas, was about to attack Long Qi's chest.
In a flash, Xinyi twisted her fingers, and then her figure flashed behind Long Qi, restraining him and dragging him backwards.
"Long Qi! Calm down! You scared Ling Xiang!"
Hearing Xinyi mention the spiritual incense, Long Qi finally came to his senses and suddenly felt his whole body lose strength. At this moment, Yinghua disappeared in a flash.
…
Lingxiang glanced at Long Qi, her eyes filled with worry. This wasn't the first time Long Qi had lost his mind. Last time, she had been able to subdue him with the Qingxin Talisman only because her cultivation level was higher than his. Now that their cultivation levels were equal, if they met again, she feared it would be difficult to subdue him.
The reason why Long Qi became like this is related to his childhood experiences. This is a heart injury that cannot be cured by ordinary medicine.
Lingxiang caressed Long Qi's palms, wondering how to prevent him from falling into the same situation he had been in. The calluses on his hands were much thicker than before, probably from holding the sword so often.
Lingxiang glanced at Zhao Wuyang again and made a decision. When she was about to speak, she saw Xinyi walking in from outside.
Zhao Wuyang wanted to offer some comfort, but after approaching him, he couldn't utter a word. Seeing his worried face, Xinyi simply smiled and rubbed his head. That smile didn't seem to convey much sadness, but rather relief.
"Mrs. Lu...sent her off?" Lingxiang asked.
Xinyi nodded, his eyes red, obviously from crying, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's pack up and leave!"
