"There's no need to worry about the poison. I have Mu Ling, which can cleanse all toxins!" Ye Qing said, "Don't worry, let get you out first!"
This ti, Shen Lingwei did not refuse. She also knew the effects of Mu Ling, capable of neutralizing all kinds of toxins in the world. Even the poison of the Corpse Ghost Dragon!
Of course, to be safe, Ye Qing still held Mu Ling tightly in his hand while taking out a piece of Devouring Demon Flower, placing it in his mouth. This way, even if Mu Ling couldn't counter the poison of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, the Devouring Demon Flower would serve as a double insurance.
Once prepared, Ye Qing walked straight over. Surprisingly, all the way to the bedside, Ye Qing did not feel anything unusual. It seed that the poison of the Corpse Ghost Dragon had no effect on him.
"Lingwei, I'm taking you out!" Ye Qing took out a piece of Devouring Demon Flower from his body, handing it to Shen Lingwei while asking curiously, "By the way, Lingwei, how did you know it was just now? I didn't even say a word when I ca in."
Shen Lingwei smiled softly and said, "Ye, I can't see, so my ears and nose are much better than normal people. I can distinguish identities by listening to footsteps and slling scents. Actually, when you entered the yard, I already knew you were here."
"I see!" Ye Qing realized, bringing the Devouring Demon Flower to Shen Lingwei's lips, "Here, put this in your mouth, it can detoxify."
Shen Lingwei obediently put the Devouring Demon Flower into her mouth, but as soon as it entered, her face suddenly changed color, and she involuntarily spat it out. The Devouring Demon Flower, which had already turned into sweet dew, was all expelled by her.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Ye Qing asked nervously, as this was the first ti he had seen such a situation.
Shen Lingwei continued to retch several tis before gradually stopping. She wiped her mouth and said in a low voice, "Ye, what did you give to eat?"
"It's a kind of Holy Detoxifying dicine for detoxification." Ye Qing replied.
"It's not as simple as just a Holy Detoxifying dicine, is it?" Shen Lingwei was silent for a while and then said softly, "Is it sothing related to the Demon Sect?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing was taken aback. This Devouring Demon Flower, once taken out, had been consud by so many people, yet no one knew what it was. To his surprise, Shen Lingwei could identify it without seeing it and even knew it was related to the Demon Sect.
"Ye, I can't take anything related to the Demon Sect," Shen Lingwei said softly, "I have a Taoist Heart and cannot accept anything from the Demon Sect."
"Taoist Heart... what exactly is the Taoist Heart?" Ye Qing couldn't help but ask.
"How should I explain it to you?" Shen Lingwei was silent for a mont and then said softly, "I don't know how to explain it, but I was born to be part of the Taoist Sect. I can learn everything from the Taoist Sect. Even the Taoist Incantations, when I first saw them, I could completely understand them. But, I can only learn things from the Taoist Sect; other sects' things clash with !"
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Qing was astonished and couldn't help but think of the child Broom Star he had adopted. Thinking carefully, Broom Star's situation seed similar to Shen Lingwei's. Though both of them were young, they were full of wisdom. Moreover, the key point was that, like Shen Lingwei, Broom Star could recognize the Buddhist Texts the first ti he saw them. You have to know, Broom Star didn't even know how to read, yet this might be an innate talent.
The Corpse Ghost Dragon also ntioned that Shen Lingwei has a Taoist Heart, so that couldn't be wrong. In this case, doesn't it an that Broom Star also has a Buddha Heart? But, what exactly are these Taoist Heart and Buddha Heart?
Shen Lingwei said, "I was born with it; I didn't know either. Actually, even my grandfather didn't know about it. When he traveled the world with , he occasionally t a high master from the Taoist Sect, who saw that I had a Taoist Heart, only then did my grandfather find out about it."
"I see." Ye Qing nodded, he placed Mu Ling in Shen Lingwei's hand, "Since you can't take this dicine, take Mu Ling instead, I'll use the dicine."
"That's fine!" Shen Lingwei held Mu Ling tightly but still clung to Ye Qing's hand. This way, the effect of Mu Ling could also affect Ye Qing, ensuring he wouldn't be poisoned.
Of course, Ye Qing didn't dare to be careless and still tucked a piece of Devouring Demon Flower in his own mouth. Then, he carried Shen Lingwei on his back and dashed out of the Corpse Ghost Dragon's poisonous range. This ti, just like before, they were not poisoned, allowing them both to sigh in relief.
As before, Ye Qing carried Shen Lingwei on his back, quietly slipping out of the Shen Family Manor through the passageway. Outside, Shen Da and the others were waiting; seeing Shen Lingwei erge, they hurriedly caught her.
Seeing that Shen Lingwei was unhard, the Shen family breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, these two were the ones Old Mada Shen had instructed them to rescue on her deathbed, and they were the most crucial heirs of the Shen family.
"Alright." After settling Shen Qingyi and Shen Lingwei, Ye Qing whispered, "You take the two of them out along the path; we'll rendezvous outside. Leave a few people here; I'll go back to see if I can rescue everyone possible."
Shen Da looked at Ye Qing with gratitude and said, "Ye Qing, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Qing said nothing, just patted his shoulder and turned to jump back into the passageway, retracing his route back into the manor.
This ti, Ye Qing had no particular objective, and headed directly to those courtyards guarded by sentinels outside, searching one by one; finding a living soul would be considered fortunate.
Ye Qing entered the first courtyard, conveniently located beside the dungeon. As before, Ye Qing quickly knocked out the few guards outside, then directly leapt into the courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Ye Qing was imdiately hit by a strong sll of blood. Looking carefully, several corpses were laid out in the courtyard, mostly won. Among them, Ye Qing had seen a few before. Especially one girl, who was clearly Huangfu Ziyu's maid, was now lying lifeless among them in the courtyard. Judging by the scars on her body, she had likely suffered inhumane treatnt before dying, inflaming Ye Qing's murderous intent.
The henchn of the Corpse Ghost Dragon had entered the Shen Family Manor and shown their true colors, treating the Shen family as less than human. Besides burning, killing, and pillaging, they committed atrocities so heinous. Even if it wasn't Ye Qing, anyone else witnessing this would undoubtedly be furious.
Ye Qing simply gripped the scabbard in his hand and listened to the continuous cries of agony coming from the room ahead; he stord right in, kicking the door open.
Inside the room were seven or eight people, surrounding two won. Two n were actively abusing these two won, while the others were waiting in line, as if taking turns. The won's gazes were vacant, their bodies covered in wounds, whether from severe injury or utter despair, showing no response at all.
Ye Qing, furious beyond asure, found the situation in the room utterly beastly. No—calling them beasts was an insult to beasts!
At the sound of the door, the seven or eight n imdiately turned their heads. Upon seeing Ye Qing, they hesitated, one of them pointing at Ye Qing, "You are..."
Ye Qing, already filled with killing intent outside, now erupted fully upon witnessing the scene inside. Before the man could finish speaking, Ye Qing charged, striking out with the scabbard. The man raised his long knife to block, but it was rely a steel blade, not a fad instrunt. On the other hand, Ye Qing's scabbard possessed terrifying power. With one strike, the steel blade was shattered, and the man was cut down. Against Ye Qing, he couldn't even resist a single move before losing his life.
The others witnessed Ye Qing's action and imdiately understood he wasn't one of them, rushing angrily towards him. But in front of Ye Qing, their skills were insignificant. Ye Qing wielded his scabbard, sweeping across, severing the arm of the man at the forefront. The scabbard continued, piercing the chest of the second man, who hadn't even faced Ye Qing before losing his life.
Seeing what these people did to the won of the Shen family, Ye Qing no longer intended to leave survivors, his actions brutally rciless. What these people had done to the Shen family, Ye Qing intended to repay double, letting them taste the pain.
With a single move, Ye Qing killed four people, and their grueso deaths naturally terrified the remaining few. They grabbed weapons, but upon seeing the deathly states, each dropped their arms, hands limp with fear.
Ye Qing turned his head, the foremost man imdiately dropping to his knees, trembling, "Big brother, big brother, please... don't kill ... We... we are the henchn of the Great Necromancer of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, who will return soon. If you... you kill , the Necromancer will never let you go..."
Without a word, Ye Qing struck down with the scabbard, slaying this man as well.
"Whether Corpse Ghost Dragon is here or not, I'll kill them nonetheless!" Ye Qing coldly declared, further terrifying the remaining few, one already so scared he wet himself. They understood clearly now, Ye Qing wasn't afraid of Corpse Ghost Dragon, and he was here explicitly to trouble Corpse Ghost Dragon.
These n were particularly frustrated; they had allied with Corpse Ghost Dragon because of his formidable power, believing that with him they could swagger and do as they pleased. Thus, in the last two days in the Shen Family Manor, they'd been vile, their evil deeds overflowing. Under Corpse Ghost Dragon's protection, they thought no one would target them. Instead, they encountered Ye Qing, and after he killed a few, they suddenly realized, perhaps following Corpse Ghost Dragon wasn't so safe after all. At that mont, they started regretting their previous actions.
But, was it too late?
