It was obvious.
If Xu Wendong was so kind-hearted, he wouldn’t have forced her to beg him, nor would he have agreed to visit Zhao Sihai’s grave.
Thinking of this.
Yan Shuangshuang felt a pang of regret in her heart!
She regretted using Xu Wendong to get rid of Zhao Sihai, though she did win the South City redevelopnt project in the end, they had paid too much for it.
Moreover, she believed Xu Wendong would never get rid of the evil spirit in South Lake.
At this mont, she couldn’t help but wonder.
If she hadn’t used him to kill, and instead ca forward to help him when he was besieged by Black Dragon Hall, would the outco still be like this?
------
"Doctor Xu, with this situation, we simply can’t reach the island!" Jin Lingqiang’s ntal energy was highly concentrated as he steered the speedboat; they were now less than a hundred ters from Lake Heart Island’s dock.
However, the experience was like an insurmountable barrier for them, with wave after wave preventing them from approaching.
"It’s not a big issue, leave it to !" Xu Wendong grabbed a harpoon, bit his fingertip, and sared blood on the harpoon.
Then he infused it with True Qi and hurled it toward the sealed hexagonal well.
The wind was strong, blowing so hard that they couldn’t open their eyes.
Yet, the harpoon was unaffected by the wind, landing right on the edge of the well. The next second, the dark clouds vanished instantly, and the great waves on the lake disappeared.
The warm sun shone on their bodies, bringing an indescribable comfort.
Finally, Xu Wendong and the others successfully reached Lake Heart Island. He carried King Kong to the side of the hexagonal well, which still bore the seal he had placed before.
Even though many days had passed, the blood on it remained vividly red.
He casually sat on the stone slab covering the sealed well, politely knocked on the well cover, as if greeting the spirit within, then said, "You should know why I’m here. I won’t waste words. I advise you to return King Kong’s Human Soul imdiately."
"Otherwise, I’ll destroy you right now."
All beings had spirits, and this evil entity was no exception.
Xu Wendong believed the spirit in the well could understand him.
However.
The evil spirit inside didn’t respond but violently collided with the well’s seal, causing Xu Wendong to feel intense vibrations.
"Ungrateful wretch!"
A cold glint flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes. He stood up imdiately, squeezed blood from his fingertip, and inscribed a mysterious blood-colored rune on the stone slab.
At the sa ti.
Miserable cries echoed from the well, sending chills down the spines of Jin Jianyuan and Jin Lingqiang, the sound resembling a devil’s shriek, piercing and tragic, causing both to develop a thick layer of goosebumps.
Not only did Jin Jianyuan and Jin Lingqiang hear the horrific screams, but even the people on the shore could vaguely hear them.
As ti passed, the cries from the well weakened a little. Xu Wendong spoke, "I hope you won’t be unwise; otherwise, I’ll end you in no ti."
"If I hand over this person’s Human Soul, will you really let go?" said a weak female voice from within the well.
Xu Wendong replied, "Naturally."
"Very well." The female voice sounded again, "I will release this person’s Human Soul now. You can open the seal."
Xu Wendong was pleasantly surprised. He imdiately reached out, ready to move the stone slab, but was stopped by Jin Jianyuan, who was utterly tense, "Doctor Xu, won’t the evil spirit escape while doing so?"
Jin Jianyuan wanted his son to recover but didn’t wish for any mishap to befall Xu Wendong, nor did he want the evil spirit to escape and cause harm.
"Rest assured, as long as I’m here, she won’t escape." Xu Wendong said with a smile, moving the stone slab aside. The next second, a terrifying chill of Yin Energy surged, causing everyone present to shiver.
Fortunately, it was dayti, and the abundant Yang Energy quickly dissipated the Yin Energy.
At this mont, the comatose King Kong woke up, called out "Dad," and then rushed to Jin Jianyuan like a child, tightly embracing him and wailing, "Dad, I finally see you again!"
Jin Jianyuan’s eyes filled with tears, "Son, have you truly recovered?"
"Yes, yes." Tears flowed like rain from King Kong’s eyes, "I have recovered. I know what happened over the years. It’s all because I didn’t listen as a child, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been ill for so many years."
Jin Jianyuan was overco with joy, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, quickly kowtow to thank our benefactor···"
He intended to kowtow with his son to thank Xu Wendong, only to find Xu Wendong had disappeared.
Jin Lingqiang nervously said, "Doctor Xu jumped into the well."
???
Jin Jianyuan was utterly puzzled, why did he jump into the well? It was filled with dense Yin Energy; could he co out unhard?
He was worried sick for Xu Wendong.
At this mont, Xu Wendong’s voice ca from the well, "Elder Jin, I’m alright; no need to worry about ."
The well was very dark.
Moreover, it was a dry well, with no water within.
The well was approximately eighteen ters deep, with a spacious bottom where a red coffin was conspicuously placed. The red color was not like paint but appeared to be stained by blood.
The coffin was bound by six chains, the ends of which were fastened to the solid stone wall.
"You promised to spare , so why have you co here?" said a terrified voice from inside the coffin upon sensing Xu Wendong’s presence.
Despite this being her domain, Xu Wendong’s overwhelming Yang Energy was terrifying, rendering her unable to endure.
Xu Wendong said, "Actually, I didn’t intend to kill you. I ca here rely to understand why you’re here."
"Are you truly a villain?"
Xu Wendong seed to be talking to himself, "If you were truly a villain, why did you only keep King Kong’s Human Soul and not refine it?"
Xu Wendong found this baffling, as King Kong’s Human Soul had been missing for over twenty years. Ordinarily, ghostly beings favored human souls, consuming them would enhance their cultivation level.
However, King Kong’s Human Soul hadn’t been consud, which was inevitably curious.
"It’s true I don’t deny you controlled the strange fish in the lake to kill many, but those people were deserving, each with blood on their hands."
Xu Wendong had long opened the Heavenly Eye, allowing him to see that those who perished in the lake deserved their fate.
This also implied the woman in the coffin wasn’t one for mindless slaughter.
"But if you are not truly evil, then why are you suppressed in this dry well?"
"This is Hell!"
The eighteen ters underground symbolized the eighteen levels of Hell in the eyes of outsiders, while the six chains represented the six paths of Samsara. Xu Wendong was genuinely curious, why would a woman who was not incredibly evil be suppressed here in such a manner!
