Chapter 123
The two men were still shouting, and their voices instantly made the old man who was about to drink the detoxification water on the other side put down his bowl immediately.
Ye Lan flew over and kicked the man in the lower abdomen.
The man fell to his knees on the ground with a thud because of the pain and couldn't get up.
"Ouch, who kicked me?"
Ye Lan grabbed the man's hair with his backhand. The man felt pain and fell straight towards Ye Lan.
Ye Lan quickly removed the man's arms, letting them hang limply on both sides of his body.
The man still didn't learn his lesson and was still cursing. Ye Lan grabbed the man's chin and turned to the boy, saying, "What are you standing there for? Just pour it!"
The restrained man kept struggling, using all his strength, but found that the man who suddenly appeared was so strong that he could not break free at all.
He watched the broken bowl getting closer and closer to him!
Ye Lan's face was unusually serious. Seeing that the man was so ill and still unaware of it, he stopped the boy and sneered, "Think about it carefully. Which is more important, living or dying? If you want to die, I can grant your wish right away."
As he spoke, Ye Lan swung the man violently and threw him to the ground again.
The man kept howling in pain. He didn't believe that Ye Lan would kill him in front of so many people.
He continued to curse, "Come and kill me if you dare. I don't believe it. If I don't drink that dirty stuff, I won't be able to live!"
Ye Lan's chest was heaving with anger. Before he traveled through time, he had seen too many news stories about life and death, and he had also experienced life and death. He just couldn't understand why some people would give up their chance to survive for some so-called empty things.
Ye Lan's eyes were cold. He stood straight, his gaze fixed on everyone around him.
He took a deep breath and said, "Whether you live or die is of no consequence to me. I just want you to know that staying alive is more important than anything else. This detoxifying water smells foul, so what? As long as you can stay alive, I believe you'll compromise and eat even the most inedible food, instead of shouting here."
"Don't you think about how many people couldn't make it through these days when they cried out to heaven and earth but got no response? If they had made it through, what would they have done?"
Ye Lan was rarely so angry. He unconsciously used his spiritual power when he spoke. His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
The old man who had stopped earlier on the other side was the first to raise his broken bowl. He stood up tremblingly and said, "The immortal is absolutely right! When we were trapped before, we just hoped every day that the heavens would send us an immortal to save us from the dire situation!"
"Now that the immortals have arrived, our epidemic can be brought under control, and we can recover. How can we doubt the immortals and doubt God?"
"Although I'm old, I still want to live longer. If you're worried that the detoxifying water given by the immortal is useless, then I, with my old bones, will give it a try for you!"
After the old man finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the whole thing from the broken bowl.
Everyone's eyes fell on the old man. After drinking, the old man subconsciously began to retch.
Everyone's heart tightened, and the man who had been shouting before became more energetic.
"Look, this isn't some miracle drug! It won't do anything for you. Why bother with this disgusting thing?"
In an instant, everyone started discussing in low voices.
Ye Lan was not anxious, but the two young men were anxious and their faces were red.
"You are truly ridiculous. The immortal has good intentions in giving out the elixir, but why don't you think about how many people you have and how many elixirs you can possibly have!"
"You know how long we've been trapped in that dark place. If we could find water, why would the immortal need your suspicions?"
"This detoxifying water is made of urine, so what?! Is it harder to survive by just enduring and drinking it than to die of pain and hunger?"
Ye Lan didn't expect that these two teenagers were so insightful at such a young age, and he couldn't help but look at them with a little admiration.
Leng Qingqiu also came to Ye Lan's side at this time, and the aura he exuded was even more frightening.
Everyone looked at Leng Qingqiu with a hint of awe, but Leng Qingqiu didn't look at them. His gaze fell on Ye Lan, who was a little pale with anger, and he slowly said, "We've given them a way to survive, and the right to choose whether to live or die. Don't get angry over this group of people, it's not worth it."
Ye Lan didn't expect that this traitor would be so kind to comfort him. He raised his head unexpectedly, and his eyes met Leng Qingqiu's cold eyes.
He was not afraid of Leng Qingqiu getting angry, so he spoke directly to her.
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not. I'm not angry for them. I'm just angry at myself."
If he had brought enough pills, no one would have used this matter to cause trouble.
Leng Qingqiu disagreed. He turned around and looked at the people who were still looking at them.
He said shockingly: "Then kill them all."
Everyone:!!!
Ye Lan: ???
Even though Ye Lan was slow to react, he noticed the problem. He quickly turned around and grabbed Leng Qingqiu who was about to take action.
"Brother Leng, what's wrong with you?"
Why did he suddenly feel that this traitor was strange? Why did his black eyes flash with purple light?
The black snake's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Lan's sea of consciousness: "Hurry, his mind has been invaded by demonic energy! Take him away from here!"
Ye Lan wanted to ask something, but was afraid that Leng Qingqiu would suddenly lose control, so he quickly slashed at the back of Leng Qingqiu's neck with one hand.
Leng Qingqiu's body instantly went limp, and Ye Lan quickly took it over.
"If they want to drink, they can drink. There's no need to force them. As long as they have a clear conscience, that's enough. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ye Lan let Leng Qingqiu lean on his shoulder. He turned around with great effort and said to the young man, "If you want to cultivate immortality, you can go to Xiaoyao Sect to find Sect Master Ye."
After saying that, Ye Lan helped Leng Qingqiu step onto his flying sword and disappeared from the spot in the sight of everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that this person was truly an immortal!
They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly in the direction where Ye Lan disappeared.
Many years later, the town was renamed Immortal City to commemorate this event.
Of course, this is a later story.
