"That would be a catastrophe for the world! You, who only know how to kill, would personally kill the person most important to you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ru began to hesitate!
However, these pills cannot be taken together. Taking them separately and channeling them with spiritual energy might be twice as effective!
So she sat in the center of the formation and ate a health-strengthening pill!
He gulped down a large pot of spiritual spring water before he began to cultivate!
She controlled her spiritual energy, circulating it throughout her body's meridians!
Although the process was difficult and painful, she was really indignant. How could she, a dignified half-step immortal, be controlled by a mere system and a small little demon?
She had actually noticed a long time ago that there seemed to be a problem with the system, but at the beginning, she hadn't gained much hatred points, so there weren't any major issues, and she had become somewhat dependent on it!
However, as hatred increases, headaches and irritability will occur, and the problem became apparent when tens of thousands of people were killed last time!
But to be honest, this inner demon isn't actually that powerful. Her meager spiritual energy could suppress it, but now she's so weak that even a kid on the street could probably teach her a lesson!
That's why this little devil managed to take advantage of the situation!
Did Heaven think that this would make her behave and stop causing trouble? That's impossible!
She was trying her best to recover inside, while things were in complete chaos outside the gate!
Bai Chengye and the others rushed over anxiously!
Then they saw Wu Ling standing at the door with red eyes, clearly having just cried!
They were all devastated. Wu Ling, a man as tough as steel, was actually crying. Lin Ru inside must be in grave danger!
Bai thought so too. She stumbled over, almost falling to the ground, but Wu Ling caught her.
Bai clutched his sleeve tightly, "Wu Ling! How is my Ru'er? What happened to her?"
"Is there anything I can do to help her?"
Rong Peiyu also stepped forward, crying, and grabbed his sleeve tightly!
"Young Master Wu! What's wrong with Ru'er? Say something! Why are you blocking the door and not letting us in? Is the situation really that serious?"
"What exactly happened to you in that place?"
"We heard that this continuous rain was caused by my Ru'er?"
Is it really possible for the dead to come back to life?
"What exactly happened? Tell us about it."
Wu Ling opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin, or whether he should say such things at all!
He shook his head somewhat awkwardly, "You'd better not ask me! Wait until Her Majesty comes out, then you can ask her yourselves!"
"Her Majesty is only allowing me to enter! She just had a mishap with her martial arts, which is why she was a bit irritable! Don't worry! Even for Lin Bai's sake and for all of you, she won't let anything happen to herself!"
Bai Chengye sat dejectedly at the door, covering his head in sadness. The four Bai brothers sat next to him in the same manner.
They all hated their own incompetence!
"It's all our fault! We didn't even complete the task Ru'er assigned us, and we even saved a heartless beast on the way!"
"Yes! Ru'er said before that the reason they received news of the war in advance was because Magistrate Ji helped them!"
"So we always thought we could repay them in some way, which is why that beast took advantage of us!"
Seeing their dejected and heartbroken appearance, Wu Ling quickly comforted them, saying, "I believe His Majesty will not blame you!"
"After all, you didn't do it on purpose, and that Ji Wenzhuo is just too cunning!"
Don't worry! Everything will be alright!
"Lin Bai and Lin Mo will definitely be fine!"
Although Wu Ling offered this reassurance, he was actually quite uneasy inside, because he had just quietly sensed that there was no trace of any living person in the room!
He gripped his hands tightly, but his face remained remarkably calm.
If he can't hold back any longer, the Bai family will probably collapse even more!
Everyone stood guard at the door for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before Quan Jinyu led Wu Juan and the others over!
"Brother Ling! Is His Majesty still not feeling any better?"
Wu Ling shook his head. "Not yet! But it should be soon! Have you arranged everything for those people?"
Quan Jinyu patted his chest, "Our Quan clan has its own intelligence network! So you can rest assured about how I handle things!"
"I've confirmed Ji Wenzhuo's location!"
"And we've already sent people over to keep an eye on their encampment!"
"These men of theirs are all the Marquis of Zhenxi's confidants!"
"The childhood friend that Ji Wenxuan mentioned is named Du Xun. They did grow up together and their families were very close. However, when he was assigned to Huiwu County as magistrate, the Du family was also sentenced to exile because they had offended the previous emperor!"
"Later, on the way to exile, he happened to meet a general surnamed Lin under the command of the Marquis of Zhenxi who was on his way to the capital. He was rescued and then worked under this general surnamed Lin. The general surnamed Lin even helped him find a wife and helped him settle his family!"
"And that general surnamed Lin is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenxi!"
"So there's absolutely no way that person could be trusted by the Marquis of Zhenxi!"
"As for the woman who let Ji Wenzhuo go, she has been captured by my men! We await His Majesty's judgment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ru's door was opened from the inside, and she walked out with a rosy complexion!
"Quan Jinyu! You're quick on your feet!"
"I just rested for a while and you've already arranged all of this. As expected of the Quan family!"
When Quan Jinyu saw Lin Ru, he quickly tried to lead his men to kneel down and pay their respects, but Lin Ru stopped him by raising her hand!
"Alright, alright! Stop kneeling all the time! Hurry up and take me to see that woman! I want to see just how much bewitching potion she's been given!"
Quan Jinyu didn't insist on kneeling. He clapped his hands towards the outside, and someone brought in a person who was tied up with a bag over her head. When the bag was removed, it was revealed that she was a woman!
The woman's mouth was stuffed with rags and her eyes were completely covered!
Lin Ru gestured with her eyes to remove the gag from the woman's mouth. Once it was removed, the woman began to curse loudly, "Which beast knocked me unconscious? Do you know who I am? I'm going to be the general's wife!"
"If you've got the guts, let me go. Let's fight one-on-one. I'll beat you to death!"
