Chapter 227 What did you dream about? But our past lives?
Perhaps Lin Qingyue's words worked, and Dongfang Qi no longer rejected the infusion of her spiritual power into his body.
Lin Qingyue took this opportunity to continuously pour her own spiritual energy into his body, sorting out the chaotic spiritual power in his meridians and guiding it back to his dantian.
Feeling his breath gradually calm down, Lin Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a head poked in from the window. When it saw the scene inside, it gasped and then jumped into the hall.
The man who came was Old Turtle. He had been guarding the temple square all night, waiting anxiously.
In the first half of the night, the entire temple was silent and nothing was clear about the situation. He did not dare to act rashly for fear that he would not be able to help and would cause more trouble.
In the second half of the night, I heard faint sounds of fighting.
But because of the special protective formation inside and outside the temple, he couldn't get in no matter how many times he tried.
Just before dawn, a powerful and dazzling golden light suddenly emanated from the top floor of the hall, attracting all the patrol soldiers in the city.
After the golden light dissipated, the temple's protective formation suddenly became ineffective.
So the old turtle crawled all the way in from outside the temple.
After coming in, he saw the seriously injured Lin Qingyue and the dying Dongfang Qi at a glance.
"Ah, how did he get injured like this? Master Dongfangqi..."
Lin Qingyue said: "He is not dead yet, and he will not die!"
Lin Qingyue originally wanted to die together with Zheng Linggui, but because of Dongfang Qi's intervention, her original power was not exhausted.
Although Dongfang Qi consumed most of his original power, Zheng Linggui had been severely injured by Lin Qingyue at that time, so he did not completely overdraw.
In this case, it is a blessing.
The old turtle said, "The commotion here just now was too loud. It has alerted the Imperial City Guards. We must evacuate quickly, otherwise we will have to start a war again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard messy footsteps coming from underground.
The commotion here was so loud that it must have alerted the others in the temple. However, due to the overwhelming aura of the powerful fighting, the monsters and demons dared not approach easily.
The aura is weakening at this moment, so they will naturally rush forward.
"Hurry up!" The old turtle transformed into a demon and lay on the ground. "Let Master Dongfang lie on my back. I'll carry him."
Lin Qingyue's spiritual power was severely depleted, and Dongfang Qi was seriously injured, so it was naturally not appropriate for them to fight with the people in the temple anymore.
So, she quickly placed Dongfangqi on the old turtle's back and warned him, "He's seriously injured, be careful."
The old turtle said, "You should be careful too. Let's go down through the window at the back of the temple."
Lin Qingyue nodded and watched the old turtle jump out of the window with Dongfang Qi on his back and land steadily on the ground. She followed closely behind him.
Almost at the moment they left, a large number of attendants rushed in.
What everyone saw was a charred scene.
Inside the hall, golden bricks crumbled and shattered, pillars broken and covered in dust. Even the statue of the God of Returning Origin had collapsed, its head rolling to the side.
The so-called divine protection ultimately became a joke.
The servants of the temple have been doing evil and becoming greedy over the years.
They firmly believed that power was bestowed by the gods. Although they had never seen the gods, they were certain that the gods lived on the top floor of the temple.
But now this place has become a ruin. If there really is a god, how could it not even protect its own territory?
"The Archbishop has arrived!"
The archbishop came to the top floor with the help of two guards.
The archbishop was a two-headed snake demon. After Lin Qingyue chopped off one of his heads last night, his soul finally escaped and spent another night to be resurrected with the help of the other head.
At this moment, looking at the ruins of the hall, he realized that the other party's real target was Zheng Linggui.
Others may not know, but he knows it very well.
Zheng Linggui is not a god at all. Everything is a lie they made up together.
Zheng Linggui is a ghost cultivator with unfathomable strength.
But now...
He couldn't sense any breath of Zheng Linggui in the hall. Did she... just die like that?
After being shocked, the archbishop quickly calmed down and knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: "This must be a test from the gods. The gods want to see if we are loyal and brave defenders of the faith, so they let Guiyuan Temple suffer this disaster."
"And we...we failed to protect the temple, allowing criminals to enter and offend the gods. The gods must be angry and have temporarily left the temple. As long as I find the criminals and bring them to justice, the gods will forgive our mistakes."
After such high-sounding words, he successfully convinced his subordinates, and they all clamored to arrest the murderer.
A sinister smile flashed in the Archbishop's eyes. "So what if I die? No one knows the truth anyway. I say there is a God, and God is everywhere. As long as the church's power is not there, I am the true God of the world!"
Li Mansion.
Lao Gui did not participate in it last night, so his identity as a missionary ambassador was not exposed.
After settling Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Qi in Li Mansion, he went out to gather information.
Not long after, the old turtle came back.
"Ms. Lin, the Guiyuan Cult has truly persevered! The false god has been annihilated, yet they're claiming it was an assassination. The entire city is hunting for the assassin, and patrols are everywhere, checking every house for outsiders."
"Didn't you fight the Archbishop last night? Why didn't you just kill him? Oh, no—we can't let them continue to run rampant. Miss Lin, you are seriously injured now, so it's inconvenient to take any more risks. I'll find a way to kill the Archbishop and see how he can continue to play tricks!"
"Old Turtle!" Lin Qingyue called out to him, "I saved his life on purpose."
"Ah? Why?" The old turtle obviously couldn't understand.
Lin Qingyue said, "Killing him isn't difficult. But what happens after we kill him? There are other people in the temple, and the Guifang Kingdom's court is also full of Guiyuan Sect forces. They have already planted gods in the hearts of the people. If we can't pull them out from the hearts, then killing as many people as possible will be in vain."
Hearing this, the old turtle was extremely anxious: "What should I do?"
"I've been severely injured this time and need some time to recuperate. Once I recover, I'll have my own ways to deal with them."
The old turtle nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you and Young Master Dongfang's health are more important. You should take good care of your injuries these few days. To be on the safe side, I will stay home sick and won't go anywhere. I will just watch outside the door for you to avoid being disturbed by others."
Damage to the source of power was extremely damaging to the body of an immortal cultivator. Over the next few days, Lin Qingyue had to regulate her own internal energy while helping Dongfang Qi heal his injuries.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyue's soul was strong enough, and she gradually recovered after three days and recovered a lot.
Dongfang Qi's complexion also began to recover. Sometimes Lin Qingyue saw his eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was about to wake up but not yet.
She looked towards the east and murmured, "What did you dream about? Our past lives?"
What was the reason in his previous life that allowed Ah Zhuo to resist the burning of the red lotus fire and save his soul?
And she herself should have been killed in the fire, so why did she inexplicably travel to the State of Qi three thousand years later?
"Old turtle."
She raised her voice and shouted.
The door opened and the loyal old turtle came in - he had been guarding them outside for three days, never leaving their side.
"Miss Lin, you look much better." The old turtle had been worried all the time these days, and only at this moment did he finally let go of the big stone in his heart.
"How is Mr. Dongfang? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
