The youth was startled.
He asked, "Why?"
In Xie Lian's mind, he replayed the moves he had just used to kill the lowly slave.
He casually made a few moves and said, "You've never tried using a knife before, right? When you use a sword, the wind of the sword is treacherous. Although it's fast and ruthless, it seems to be somewhat restrictive.
You can't use it properly. If you've never used a knife before,
Why don't you try it next time?
I think the power might be even stronger. "
Every time he saw someone make a move, there was something wonderful about it.
He couldn't help but want to exchange a few words.
He wasn't pointing fingers, but rather, he was full of interest and wanted to actively discuss with the other party. Because his combat experience was too rich,
He often didn't even need to think about it to know at a glance.
However, for a moment, he couldn't say why. He just felt that it must be like that.
Most people respected his status and listened. In their hearts, they rarely thought about whether or not what he said made sense.
However, this youth listened seriously, as if he was thinking.
From time to time, he would also look at the blade in his hand. After saying a few words,
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the pitch-black forest all around him, as if something was quickly crawling past. Xie Lian immediately remembered that he was still in a dangerous situation.
His interest came at an untimely time. He immediately collected his thoughts and said, "I don't know if there are any other evil creatures on this mountain. We need to thoroughly clean them up."
The youth nodded his head vigorously and offered the iron sword in his hands. Xie Lian shook his head and said, "You just need to protect yourself. You didn't leave just now, and now you can't leave. I'll do my best to protect you. You must also be vigilant. "
At this time, he saw the grass tremble again. Something quickly leaped over. Xie Lian swung his hand and struck it. That thing let out a blood-curdling screech and stopped moving. Xie Lian smelled a bloody smell and couldn't help but feel strange. If it was a lowly slave, what flowed out after being beaten would be sticky bodily fluids that were extremely sticky. It wouldn't emit this kind of bloody smell. Thus, he went forward to investigate. Pushing aside the grass, there was indeed a big-headed lowly slave inside. It had already been smashed into pieces by his palm. However, it wasn't the creature that emitted the bloody smell. Instead, it was the thing in its mouth — — a piece of scalp with long hair!
Lowly slaves lived by eating scraps. It seemed that a living person had already been killed. As it crawled over, drops of blood dripped onto the grass. Xie Lian immediately followed the trail of blood and walked forward. The young soldier followed closely behind him. The further he went, the thicker the bloodstains became, and the stronger the stench of blood became. Soon, he heard a weak cry.
The soldier raised his sword and stood in front of Xie Lian, but Xie Lian pulled him behind him. After turning around a flowering shrub, a half-sized cave appeared in front of them.
This cave was probably a temporary resting place for some people, but now, it was littered with corpses. Twenty to thirty slaves were happily gnawing on the corpses on the ground. There were five or six of them surrounding a young girl on the ground. That young lady had a pained expression on her face. Her chest had been cut open, and her internal organs were scattered all over the ground. However, she was still alive. She seemed to have been putting on a simple make-up just now. She wore many bright red flowers on her temples. The bright red blood contrasted with the bright red flowers on her temples, making her look particularly cruel.
As for the group of slaves, they were licking her steaming internal organs and were about to take a bite. Suddenly hearing someone approaching, they all turned around and pounced over. Xie Lian didn't even bat an eye. With a single palm strike, he killed all of them and immediately examined their corpses. There were men and women, old and young among the corpses. They were all covered in dirt and wore simple clothes. They were undoubtedly the commoners of Yong An. Xie Lian couldn't help but be shocked.
He thought that the demons and ghosts that suddenly appeared in the mountains were all summoned by the strange man in white. That man in white saved Lang Ying, so he was most likely in cahoots with him. But why would these slaves feed on the commoners of Yong An? Non-human beings would not form an alliance with humans for no reason. Could it be that this was Lang Ying's condition of exchange? Using the lives of those who followed him as a bargaining chip?!
The young lady was in pain and fear. She vomited blood and whimpered, "Don't kill me. I have never done anything bad. Don't kill me!"
Xie Lian couldn't help but think of the family of three that died under the city walls that day. When did they ever do anything bad? He leaned over and said in a softer tone, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. I'm here to save you. "
The soldier pulled out his sword and pointed it at the young lady, "Your Highness, be careful. It's a demon deep in the mountains."
Xie Lian naturally knew that there was such a possibility. Moreover, the possibility was extremely high. But after thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't ignore it. It was better to be cautious. He took the young lady's pulse for a moment and looked at her palm lines and fingerprints. He quickly determined that she was a living person and had never practiced martial arts before. She didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. Thus, he immediately began to treat her. He took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and unscrewed the stopper. A wisp of light white smoke filled the air, giving off a fragrant smell.
This medicine could not only alleviate the temporary symptoms of various poisons, but it also had a miraculous effect on wounds. Xie Lian was not stingy with the spiritual medicine and used up the entire bottle for her. He asked, "Are you feeling better?"
The young lady's injuries were extremely heavy and tragic. After inhaling the smoke, her face recovered a bit of color and she weakly nodded her head. Xie Lian asked, "Are you people from Yong An? How did this happen? "
The young lady cried, "… … Yes, I am. I don't know why either. Originally, hiss, everything was fine. But suddenly, my father died, and my older brother also died … … "
Xie Lian gently patted her shoulder and asked, "Who was the murderer who killed them? Or was it something else? "
The young lady choked with sobs and said, "The murderer who killed them was … … was … … was you!"
When she said the last sentence, her face suddenly revealed a sinister expression. Her two eyes brightened as she opened her arms and hugged Xie Lian!
That young soldier had been vigilant from the side the whole time. His reaction was surprisingly fast as he stabbed his sword towards her back. That young lady was already seriously injured. Now that she was stabbed, she definitely wouldn't be able to live. However, she still laughed cheerfully and tightly hugged Xie Lian, not letting go. She maintained this position until she breathed her last. She hugged him too tightly, so that young soldier had to struggle to drag her corpse out. He said, "Your Highness! How are you? "
Xie Lian also thought that this young lady wanted to sneak attack him in the end. However, she didn't have any sharp weapons on her body. She didn't even try to bite him. She only tightly hugged him as if this was enough to satisfy her. Even in death, she didn't let go. He said in a daze, "I'm fine, I … …"
Before he could finish his sentence, as if she was mocking him, a sudden wave of dizziness hit him.
That young soldier's bright black eyes widened as he said, "Your Highness?!"
Xie Lian only felt a burning pain in his heart and liver. He couldn't speak, he didn't want to speak, and he didn't want to listen to anyone speak. He shook his head and raised his hand without saying a word. At this time, there was a burst of women's laughter coming from all around.
"Hee hee hee hee … …"
"Hee hee hee hee … …"
The two of them were shocked to find that there was no third person around. The ones who were laughing turned out to be those bright red flowers!
Xie Lian instantly understood what kind of trap he had fallen into — —
"Land of Tenderness"!
This Land of Tenderness was not the Land of Tenderness. The Land of Tenderness was a kind of flower demon that liked to live together. They lived by sucking men's essence and blood. Their fragrance was not something good. Xie Lian immediately said, "Cover your mouth and nose tightly, don't breathe in the fragrance of those flowers!"
That young soldier's face was originally firmly blocked by bandages and filtered by a layer, so he didn't breathe in the fragrance. Hearing Xie Lian's words, he tightened the bandages. Then, he realized that Xie Lian had nothing to cover himself with, so he tore off the cleanest sleeve on his body and vigorously rubbed it. Then, he patted it clean and handed it to Xie Lian with both hands. However, Xie Lian said, "No need. It's useless. "
When he treated that young girl, although he was on guard, he wasn't on guard against the smell. He was extremely close to her, but he didn't know that the flower she wore on her temple was a "Land of Tenderness". Before she died, she had also tightly hugged Xie Lian, ensuring that nothing would go wrong. In other words, Xie Lian had long since unconsciously inhaled a few breaths of the gentle fragrance. This time, it could be considered as genuinely "refreshing".
After the gentle fragrance entered the body, a man's blood would become impetuous. First powerless, then manic. Now, his whole body was soft as if it had been cramped. In a moment, when the numbness passed, he would turn into a barrel of dynamite. If that strange white-clothed man appeared again at this time, Xie Lian really didn't know how confident he was in dealing with him. Originally, he didn't know how much ability the other party had, so his first reaction was to touch the medicine bottle. However, only after touching it did he remember that the medicine had already been used up in order to save that young girl. However, in the end, that person didn't survive.
He glanced at the corpse beside him. That young girl still had a faint smile on her face, as if she was sincerely happy that she could finally see her loved ones after tricking the enemy before her death. He could only blame the bloody scene for diluting the dangerous beauty of the flower, and the smell of blood diluting the strange fragrance of the flower. He also never thought that a girl who wasn't more than fifteen or sixteen years old would have such an extremely resentful expression on her face, and that she would be able to do such a ruthless thing.
On the other side, the flower demons were extremely excited as they muttered:
"He took the bait."
"He caught it."
"It really is that His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's him."
"So handsome … … My roots, my roots are about to go out of control, they're about to climb out of the soil!"
That young soldier brandished his sword and chopped down, flattening a patch of flowers. However, this flower's stem was unexpectedly very flexible, so after that broken sword chopped down once, it became somewhat blunt. The flower demons swayed and cried out in alarm: "Aiyo! This little brother who hasn't even grown his hair yet is actually quite fierce! With great difficulty, I'm about to bloom, how are you going to compensate me! "
That young soldier was so angry that his eyes burned with fire: "You're courting death! I'll burn you all with a fire! "
The flower demons stuck their green leaves on the stem and shouted: "So fierce! We didn't provoke you, why are you so angry! "
Xie Lian also said: "Don't burn them! They are demons, if you burn them … … they will produce poisonous miasma. You can't pull them out either! " That young soldier immediately stopped his hand that was about to pull them out. Xie Lian weakly said: "The stem is full of poisonous thorns … …"
The flower demons sweetly said: "Aiyo, Your Highness the Crown Prince is so gentle, thank you for protecting us. Just wait, we're about to get the results! We'll definitely love you dearly, hee hee hee hee … … "
"There aren't many men who practice the virgin technique from a young age. Although you'll lose your virginity and your magic power will drop by one realm, but, you'll have to suffer, hee hee hee hee … …"
The tender flowers rubbed against each other and giggled, revealing traces of lasciviousness. That young soldier was stunned for a long time. What 'virgin', 'lost virginity', 'realm', he didn't seem to understand, but he could tell that it wasn't something good. While brandishing his sword with all his might to chop the flowers, he angrily shouted, wanting to drown out the sound of teasing, not letting Xie Lian hear it. Xie Lian's knuckles on both of his hands were cracking.
So that's how it is!
So the series of events tonight was a trap specially set up to deal with him.
They only kidnapped Qi Rong because they knew that with his pride and consideration, Xian Le Martial God would definitely choose to chase after him alone, reducing the big problem into a small one. As for that heavily injured girl, she wanted to use up all of his elixirs, causing him to be unable to relax even after inhaling the gentle fragrance. The demons, ghosts, and the living cooperated with each other, just to wait for him at this step.
The Dao that Xie Lian cultivated indeed had a requirement that he must have a virgin body. After the Daoists of this line ascended, the people who came to worship also firmly believed that the God they worshipped was definitely extraordinary, free from human desires. Thus, if he didn't protect his virginity, it would undoubtedly cause the worshippers to collapse, and his magic power would be greatly reduced. Although it wouldn't be so serious that he would directly fall from a Heavenly Officer to a mortal, and after cultivating for a few years, he would still have the chance to cultivate back. However, at this juncture, how could he have the time to cultivate for a few more years!
The Emperor Pole Temple's rules were strict, and as the most outstanding person, Xie Lian had never broken the rules before. He thought that he had already cultivated to the point that he was as hard as iron, and that even a strong wind wouldn't be able to cause a ripple in his heart. He had also experienced many such tests, and every time, he would pass them perfectly. However, even though his heart was as calm as water, he was still young and shy. At this moment, there was still a small soldier at the side, listening to those flower demons pouring obscene words on him, which couldn't even be considered as a hint. In addition to the lingering fragrance of the flowers, his blood and Qi surged, and his heart was restless. Xie Lian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and a hint of redness appeared on his face. However, the most hateful thing was that he couldn't stand up.
