The man with gold-rimd glasses brushed aside the dead leaves on the ground, then moved the cent slab, and went inside.
After waiting for about a few minutes, Mo Lin also followed into this entrance.
This entrance was reinforced with cent inside.
It had a height of just over a ter, forming a straight passage.
Even the slightest sound would echo loudly.
Mo Lin tiptoed forward.
"I've brought you food."
A voice echoed inside the entrance.
"Bang!"
It seed like the sound of the man with gold-rimd glasses throwing the food on the ground.
Mo Lin walked forward and finally saw ahead two simple houses reforged with cent.
There were no doors.
From a distance, a barefoot woman dressed in tattered clothes was kept there.
The woman's ankles were bound in chains, her hair was knotted.
The narrow space reeked of excrent and urine.
Even from afar, Mo Lin could sll this overpowering stench.
The man with gold-rimd glasses grabbed the woman's head and yelled, "If it weren't for your usefulness, I would've killed you long ago."
As he spoke, the man with gold-rimd glasses took out a knife and cut the woman's wrist.
The blood instantly flowed from the woman's wrist.
The man collected the blood in a delicate ceramic bowl.
Then he drank the blood in one gulp.
It was evident that the woman's face turned pale, and her physical condition was extrely weak.
"Eat these, they'll replenish your energy and blood." The man with glasses gave a stern command and then turned away.
Mo Lin was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the man with gold-rimd glasses to leave.
About ten full minutes later, there was completely no noise.
Mo Lin then decided to make his move.
The woman with chains around her ankles was currently bowing her head, eating.
She held a clump of rice in her right hand, bringing it to her mouth.
As if sensing sothing, she slowly lifted her head.
She saw an unfamiliar face.
The woman paused her actions, with half of the rice ball held in her hand and another half in her mouth.
The woman suddenly backed away in fright.
"Don't co any closer, I've already had blood drawn today. If they draw more blood, I'll die."
"I beg you, I will really die." The woman's tone was low as she pleaded to Mo Lin.
"I beg you, I really can't have more blood drawn, I will die."
The woman knelt on the ground, desperately and frantically kowtowing to Mo Lin.
Her forehead was bleeding from the kowtows.
As if she couldn't feel the pain, she continued to kowtow.
"I'm not here to draw your blood, I'm here to rescue you."
Just as she was about to kowtow, she suddenly paused and looked at Mo Lin in horror.
"Rescue ? You an saving ?"
"Really?" Her pupils widened, even doubting if she had heard correctly.
"Yes, I'm here to rescue you," Mo Lin repeated.
The woman froze in place, and after a mont her eyes instantly reddened.
"You are Zhen Lingling, right?"
"Yes, it's ," Zhen Lingling nodded.
"Why are you rescuing ?"
Zhen Lingling felt a bit surreal; why would soone suddenly co to rescue her?
Zhen Lingling suddenly beca wary.
"You wouldn't want to keep like a dog too, would you?" she asked Mo Lin.
"I promised your grandfather to co save you."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Lingling suddenly cried, unable to stop the tears from flowing.
It seed her grandfather was still keeping her in his thoughts.
"There's an array set here; if we leave, we'll definitely be discovered," Zhen Lingling said worriedly to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin's rescue brought her joy.
But she equally needed to consider safety.
If they alard that man, Mo Lin could be killed.
She would definitely be harshly punished.
Mo Lin glanced around; indeed, there were arrays drawn here.
Not any high-level arrays, but if Zhen Lingling left here.
The owner of the array would sense it imdiately.
Mo Lin looked at the iron chains around Zhen Lingling's ankles.
They weren't made from any special material, just ordinary iron chains.
Seeing Mo Lin preparing to act, Zhen Lingling reminded again.
"We'll be discovered."
"It's alright."
Mo Lin had already devised a plan.
Mo Lin raised his hand, abruptly waved, directly releasing Zhen Lingling's iron chains.
Then, Mo Lin held Zhen Lingling and sprinted outside.
Wow....
The stench was overwhelming.
Even though Mo Lin wanted to ignore Zhen Lingling's sll.
But this scent was indeed too overwhelming.
Mo Lin rushed out of the entrance with Zhen Lingling, then ran straight away.
Three minutes later.
A roar of anger emanated from the mountain.
Mo Lin arrived at his residence with Zhen Lingling.
He found so clothes to change for Zhen Lingling and then arranged for her to take a bath.
It was already past two in the morning when everything was sorted out.
Zhen Lingling bathed for hours.
"Thank you."
After bathing, Zhen Lingling knelt before Mo Lin, thanking him.
If it weren't for Mo Lin's rescue, she'd be locked underground like livestock for life.
"Why do they take your blood?" Mo Lin asked curiously.
"I have a special constitution."
Zhen Lingling slowly told Mo Lin, "I'm the True Martial Emperor's incarnation."
Mo Lin suddenly gaped!
This news was explosive.
True Martial Emperor's incarnation.
It ant the True Martial Emperor had died, a reincarnation seal fell upon an ordinary person.
The True Martial Emperor's reincarnation seal fell upon Zhen Lingling.
She was the True Martial Emperor's incarnation.
This ant the True Martial Emperor had already perished.
At this mont, Mo Lin finally understood why the man wanted to drink Zhen Lingling's blood.
Zhen Lingling possessed the essence of the True Martial Emperor.
Her blood was imbued with divine power.
Drinking her blood could boost one's own cultivation.
Of course, this was rely one of the minor benefits.
"Is there True Martial Emperor's legacy in the True Martial Valley?" Mo Lin asked Zhen Lingling curiously.
"No."
Zhen Lingling shook her head, "It's a killing array, said to be a plot set to sacrifice a group of people."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lin took a deep breath; thankfully, he hadn't gone to the True Martial Valley.
"Did they capture you for the True Martial Emperor's legacy?" Mo Lin asked Zhen Lingling.
"Yes," Zhen Lingling nodded.
"Did you give it to them?"
"I gave a small portion."
If Zhen Lingling didn't hand over the True Martial Emperor's legacy, those people would torture her day and night.
She was forced to hand over a little of the True Martial Emperor's legacy.
"True Martial Emperor's incarnation..." Mo Lin looked at Zhen Lingling, unable to resist praising.
To describe Zhen Lingling differently.
It would be a celestial being descended upon the mortal realm.
Only this phrase could express the terrifying aspect of Zhen Lingling's constitution.
The man with gold-rimd glasses who imprisoned Zhen Lingling likely had other plans.
It wasn't rely about the legacy of the True Martial Emperor.
Compared to the legacy, Zhen Lingling herself held more value.
Though Zhen Lingling was the True Martial Emperor's incarnation, she hadn't awakened.
She knew about the True Martial Emperor's legacy but had no ans to utilize it.
Primarily because she hadn't awakened the True Martial strength, resulting in her imprisonnt.
"Do you want to learn the True Martial Emperor's legacy? I can give it all to you," Zhen Lingling said seriously to Mo Lin.
