Righteousness and pure love, yet you ask me to spread demons throughout the world?

Xia Yuelan had originally planned that since her senior brother would come from the Goddess Temple after finishing his work, they could meet up on the way from this side of the street. However, she didn't run into her senior brother, but instead encountered Cen Yao.

Xia Yuelan and Cen Yao have known each other since childhood. Although Cen Yao is a scholar, they haven't played together much.

But she's a very outgoing person and can chat with anyone. When asked about Cen Yao, she learned that her senior brother had been at the Goddess Temple, but for some reason, he suddenly ran to the back of the temple.

Xia Yuelan blurted out, "Ah! Senior brother didn't want to be with you, so he made up an excuse and ran away." Cen Yao turned around and clenched her fists.

She was a little afraid of Song Lingyue with her eczema, but she also disliked Xia Yuelan, who was completely uncultured. If they weren't her junior sisters, she wouldn't want to talk to them at all.

She disliked Xia Yuelan back when she was still at Baoji Hall, and she didn't know how she ended up becoming his junior sister. Xiao Ye looked up: "Did Brother go back via another route?"

Cen Yao glanced at the girl... Who is this girl? Why does she call Fu Hai "brother"? Suddenly, a shrill, infant-like scream came from afar.

Although it was the Lantern Festival, it was already past midnight, and there were far fewer people. Even the Goddess Temple began to pack up and prepare to close.

The scream suddenly rang out, carrying through the night and reaching their ears. Inside the Goddess Temple, Zheng Jinglian also led her people out, looking back: "What happened?" "Let's go see!" Xia Yuelan took off running.

Xiao Ye was naturally worried about Yue Lan going alone, so she followed. Cen Yao saw that the two of them had run off, so she chased after them as well.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuelan was incredibly fast, scaling walls and rooftops, and the girl named Xiaoye followed closely behind, not lagging behind at all.

Cen Yao was a martial artist who had entered the ranks, and although she was at the ninth level, the ninth level was actually quite strong for her age. However, she suddenly realized that Xia Yuelan and that Xiao Ye were probably both at the eighth level, which greatly surprised her. Reaching the outer edge of this desolate forest, they stared in disbelief at the strange sights above.

But that shrinking, man-eating flower-like white quickly disappeared. Cen Yao rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. Xia Yuelan was also a little confused, not knowing what it was.

Xiao Ye was secretly shaken; it was clearly an evil entity manifested from extreme Yin energy. "Shall we go in and take a look?" Xia Yuelan was extremely curious.

Xiao Ye appears to be younger than Xia Yuelan, but in reality, she is experienced in the martial arts world and knows the saying, "Never enter a forest."

Besides, her brother had asked her to keep an eye on Yue Lan tonight, so she grabbed her and said, "Don't go in. We don't know what's inside."

Xia Yuelan tilted her head slightly: "But Master came this way, right? Could he be inside?" Hearing her say that, Xiao Ye also became worried.

So he said, "First, tell the authorities what we saw. There are soldiers everywhere tonight, and they'll probably be searching soon. Yue Lan, go back and see if your brother has arrived home yet."

I'll go in and check it out first to see what's going on.

Seeing that Xiao Ye was quite young, Cen Yao quickly said, "You shouldn't go in either. Let's wait for someone to come."

As they were speaking, hurried footsteps came from behind. It was Zheng Jinglian who had notified the nearby constables, who led a team to investigate. Xiao Ye didn't want to arouse suspicion, so she remained silent.

Xia Yuelan didn't know whether her senior brother was on his way home or really in the forest.

He decided to rush back to the inn himself to check, so he asked Xiao Ye to keep watch from the roof at the back, and sent the constables and soldiers into the woods to see what was going on.

Chapter 133 Total Annihilation? A lose-lose situation is better than a win-win situation!

The intense feeling of weightlessness made Fu Hai feel very uneasy.

I thought that after that finger strike, the entire illusion would disappear, but instead it just started to fall.

The screams of Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei reached my ears, interspersed with Li Xianrui's muffled groans.

"Shut up!" Fu Hai's low snort silenced Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei. As they fell, a strong wind swept by, and they had no idea how deep it was.

Fu Hai knew they couldn't get separated here... especially not from Li Xianrui, since Li Xianrui was the strongest among them.

Suddenly, he unleashed the Star-Absorbing Technique, hooking Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei, and using the principle of "opposites attract," he drew in Li Xianrui. However, he discovered that Li Xianrui was clearly injured and unable to use even basic lightness techniques.

Fortunately, the panicked Zhu and Zhao women, after being drawn to him, spontaneously clung to him, afraid to let go. This freed his hands, allowing him to grab Ji Xianrui and hold her in his arms: "How are you?"

"My leg... I've been hit by two bone-piercing needles in my leg," Li Xianrui said weakly. Zhao Xiangmei exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister, you're injured!"

"Keep your voice down," Ji Xianrui said angrily, "Listen to Young Master Fu." These two junior sisters were really hard to manage.

Although this unexpected turn of events was surprising, it is especially important not to lose composure in dangerous situations.

The two girls suddenly sank in and screamed in fright, causing her to turn around and allowing Peach Puppet Mother to successfully ambush her. Fortunately, Peach Puppet Mother did intend to capture her alive, and the two needles were injected into her thigh.

This time, however, Tao Ou Niang learned from her previous experience. The bone-piercing needle went deep inside, even piercing the leg bone. Combined with the medicinal power, it was clearly meant to paralyze her directly.

The boy remained calm in the face of danger, using his uncanny movements to "suck" them onto his body.

His hand seemed to possess a mysterious power; the moment it touched her, it began to heal her injuries.

The problem is, the bone-piercing needles can't be removed, which isn't just a matter of the leg injury not healing. The medicinal power within the needles is still continuously seeping into her blood and qi. In this situation, forcibly channeling her internal energy would only draw the medicinal power throughout her body, causing her to collapse even faster. And the boy's healing techniques, under these circumstances, can only...

She barely managed to stay conscious.

Snapped!

With a loud bang, the group of people were jolted.

Li Xianrui's inability to use her lightness skill affected the other three people who were constantly gathering their qi during the fall.

The cry of a baby came from afar, a cry so eerie it seemed to crawl out of hell, sending chills down their spines. They knew it was the infant that Peach Doll Mother was holding.

The good news is that the sound was quite far away, so it seems that they managed to separate themselves from the pale-faced scholar, Peach Girl, and the others during their descent. The bad news is... what kind of hellish place is this?

Fu Hai stepped on his eyes; the place was unusually dark and cold.

There was a faint light in the distance, but they dared not get too close, fearing that the pale-faced scholar, Peach Girl, Chen Dwarf Tiger, and Green Bag Girl would discover them first. "Miss Xianrui, how are you?" Fu Hai asked, holding Li Xianrui in his arms.

"We must, we absolutely must find a relatively safe place to remove the bone-penetrating needle from my leg." Li Xianrui's voice was very weak. "This place is very abnormal; it might be a place that raises zombie households."

Fu Hai whispered, "Zombies?"

Li Xianrui said, "First, heal me first. If, if it really is a place where stiffness has developed, then, then it will be troublesome."

"We...we might need to find the pale-faced scholar, Peach Girl, and the others...and join forces with them...otherwise we'll all die here."

Fu Hai recalled the last words the woman from the Qingnang Sect uttered: "We're doomed."

What exactly did that crazy girl do? Li Xianrui knew that group was her enemy, but she was forced to the point where she wanted to join forces to get out first.

He knew that Li Xianrui, after all, came from a prestigious sect and had a broader perspective. He couldn't really count on her two junior sisters.

If Li Xianrui can't be cured, then even if they join forces with the enemy and successfully escape this strange place, they'll still end up in their hands. "Sorry, if I hadn't touched that thing in the end..."

“No, it’s none of your business,” Li Xianrui said. “In that situation, we had no way out. Now we’ve all fallen into this mess, it’s a lose-lose situation... it’s better than them winning on one side.”

Fu Hai thought about it and realized it made sense.

Both sides are facing major crises, which is better than us only facing a major crisis. At worst, as the Green Bag Girl cried out, everyone will be wiped out. This underground place is not entirely without light.

After pausing for a while, I gradually adapted to the darkness, and my eyes were able to see some things.

Fu Hai carried Li Xianrui, while Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei, swords in hand, protected him and kept watch over their surroundings as they groped their way to a relatively safe place in the dark. The cries of a baby could still be heard in the distance.

"Don't let him cry anymore," the woman's voice drifted over, pleading. "He'll attract the zombies." "Zombies?" the pale-faced scholar's voice was low, but sounded desperate. "What have you been doing here?"

Suddenly, a scream came from the woman in the green sac: "Run!" "What's that?" came Chen Ai Hu's roar.

"Run!" the woman with the green pouch shouted. Chaos reigned over there.

Li Xianrui breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems they've been found over there first. That's good. Let them distract the underground zombies first."

Fu Hai turned around, his back to the source of the commotion: "What exactly is going on here? Is that crazy girl keeping zombies here?"

Li Xianrui said, "It should be that this place was originally a place for raising zombies, but she discovered it, so she used the energy here to raise her own evil spirits on it."

"If...if she succeeds, it could help the people here...eliminate the hidden danger...that would be a good thing...but now," Zhu Xiuhui muttered, "everyone's doomed with her."

Fu Hai thought to himself, "If that's the case, it seems that the initial establishment of the Goddess Temple in the north was intended to suppress something here."

"But what exactly they were trying to suppress, over time, no one really knows anymore. That Granny Liu was originally here, raising some kind of invisible evil spirit."

"Was Granny Liu acting on the orders of the Green Bag Maiden to raise evil spirits here, or did the Green Bag Maiden discover what Granny Liu was doing, simply kill Granny Liu, and seize this place?"

"Oh dear, if I'd known that crazy girl was going to be this dramatic, I wouldn't have given her the candy." They found a narrow stone cave and took shelter there temporarily.

Fu Hai asked Zhu and Zhao to bring out a tinderbox. They opened the tinderbox but did not light anything. They used the dim light of the tinderbox to check Li Xianwen's injuries.

There was blood on Li Xianrui's skirt, but it was from the dart that had hit her earlier. The bone-piercing needles were so small that no bleeding point was visible. Moving her thigh caused her to groan in pain; the needles had penetrated deep into her leg bone, causing excruciating pain.

Chapter 134 Look! This is my healing dragon claw hand.

"Miss Xianrui, what should we do now?" Fu Hai asked in a low voice.

He was also helpless. Although the female physiognomist could heal injuries and cure diseases, he couldn't remove the bone-penetrating needles that penetrated deep into the leg bones. The Star-Absorbing Technique only attracted women; it couldn't attract anything other than women and couldn't be used as a magnet.

Moreover, given Peach Girl's skill, the bone-piercing needle was aimed at her leg bone, so even a magnet probably wouldn't be of much use.

Although the thigh wound wasn't fatal, the bone-piercing needle was coated with a numbing poison; without its removal, Li Xianrui couldn't fight. Li Xianrui said, "Xiangmei! Give me...give me your sword."

Zhao Xiangmei carried a short sword that was a little over a foot long, but less than two feet. She handed the sword to her eldest sister.

Li Xianrui grabbed the sword, swung it backhand, and slammed it into her left shoulder. "Senior Sister!" the two girls exclaimed in surprise.

Li Xianrui was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, barely managing to stay awake.

"Your healing techniques are very strange," she gasped, looking at Fu Hai. "What kind of skill is this?"

Fu Hai made up a story: "This is our Dragon Claw Sect's secret healing technique, the Dragon Claw Hand, which has been lost for many years and was only recently rediscovered."

Li Xianrui thought, "Healing Dragon Claw Hand? I've never heard of this martial art before. It seems to be a long-lost secret skill, otherwise such a miraculous hand..."

Duan, Baochengshan, could not possibly have not heard of him.

"It's just... why do you always grab my breasts?"

Li Xianrui was secretly amazed by the boy's miraculous healing methods. However, she also realized that it wasn't actually necessary for him to grab her breasts.

If it were the proud and arrogant woman of the past, she would have already given him a good beating.

But now, she secretly rejoiced. If this young man hadn't been lusting after her beauty and harbored ill intentions towards her, she and her two junior sisters would have long since fallen into the hands of the enemy.

She thought to herself, "He even secretly practiced a rope technique specifically for tying me up. Now that he has this opportunity to touch my breasts, of course he won't miss it."

"Even so, his healing methods not only relieved the blockage of my blood and qi, and neutralized the anesthetic effect of the dart, but even the wounds caused by the dart seemed to heal in a short period of time."

"Such miraculous healing methods are nothing short of a miracle. With such powerful healing Dragon Claw techniques, wouldn't the Dragon Claw Sect be able to make a fortune by opening a clinic? Why bother with that deserted inn?"

She felt a little strange.

But this was an internal matter of the Dragon Claw Sect, so she naturally wouldn't ask any more questions at this time.

Li Xianrui stabbed herself, both to resist the effects of the anesthetic and to prevent herself from falling asleep, thanks to the boy's touch, and to keep her conscious through the pain.

Her mind raced, and she continued, "If the bone-piercing needles are removed, how long will it take you to heal my external injuries?" Fu Hai replied in a deep voice, "Very soon."
