chapter 418: chapter 118 sinister demon lord
after leaving the room, lin jing and li qingqing did not go far; instead, they waited just outside the door.
during this period, li qingqing was beside herself with worry—it was only lin jing’s consoling that prevented her from losing her patience and bursting into the room.
after all, she had only just reunited with her brother when he encountered such a predicament; how could she not be anxious?
like this, a full hour passed before li tangyu finally spoke up and called them in.
hearing li tangyu’s voice, li qingqing, already impatient, pushed the door open and entered.
lin jing followed closely behind her.
upon entering, they saw li tangyu sitting cross-legged, his face pale as death.
at that moment, li tangyu seemed as though he was drained of strength, appearing listless.
just then, li qingqing, who approached to help li tangyu up, couldn’t help but exclaim:
“brother…”
“why are you so wet?”
lin jing quickly walked over as well, and even before reaching li tangyu, he could smell the odor of sweat.
when lin jing came to li tangyu and prepared to help him up, he found that li tangyu’s entire body was soaked with sweat.
as if he had just been fished out of water.
even the ground beneath him was stained with a large patch of moisture.
at this time, li tangyu weakly said:
“first help me up…”
then, lin jing and li qingqing, one on each side, helped li tangyu up and brought him to sit in a chair by the table.
and li tangyu slumped in the chair, leaning against the backrest, resting…
at this moment, li qingqing hurriedly leaned in and asked with concern:
“brother…”
“what happened to you, why are you like this?”
lin jing also furrowed his brows, asking li tangyu:
“brother li…”
“what exactly is going on here?”
li tangyu gave a wry smile and said:
“it’s nothing serious, just that someone has placed a constraint within my body…”
hearing these words, lin jing was immediately shocked, blurting out:
“a constraint…”
li qingqing, meanwhile, became frantic and quickly asked:
“brother…”
“what on earth happened?”
“why were you subjected to a constraint? and how can it be broken?”
li tangyu shook his head and said:
“it’s no use…”
“the person who placed this constraint is too high in cultivation; relying on us, we won’t be able to break it.”
lin jing’s brows tightened, and then he seized li tangyu’s wrist, channeling his spiritual power to probe into li tangyu’s body.
because li tangyu was a demon cultivator, there was a difference from lin jing’s spiritual power; as lin jing’s spiritual power entered li tangyu’s body, he felt a repelling force.
however, lin jing did not direct his spiritual power into the meridians, hence the repulsion was not very strong.
thus, lin jing bore the repelling force and slowly probed deeper into li tangyu’s body.
as lin jing’s spiritual power delved further within li tangyu, he finally located the abnormality near li tangyu’s dantian.
beside li tangyu’s dantian, there was a strand of demonic qi that was incompatible with li tangyu’s own, continuously coiling around li tangyu’s dantian, lingering persistently.
even as lin jing’s spiritual power reached this point, the strand of demonic qi seemed to react.
it dispersed immediately, blending into li tangyu’s meridians.
lin jing’s expression grew more troubled, then he decisively maneuvered his spiritual power into li tangyu’s meridians.
however, because of the repulsion from the demonic qi in li tangyu’s body, lin jing’s spiritual power had barely entered the meridians before it was expelled.
despite the brief incursion, lin jing nevertheless detected something amiss…
afterward.
lin jing withdrew his spiritual power, lifting his head with a serious expression, and said to li tangyu:
“just now, when i examined your body, aside from that strand of demonic qi, there seems to be something else in your meridians.”
“what is that?”
li tangyu sighed helplessly and replied:
“it’s a poison gu…”
“just like the constraint, it’s used to control me.”
at this point, li qingqing became quite agitated, hastily grasping li tangyu’s hand, asking:
“brother…”
“what on earth is going on?”
li tangyu gently soothed li qingqing, then turned to lin jing and asked:
“brother lin…”
“do you know about wan mo island?”
lin jing nodded, then spoke:
“i’ve heard a bit, but don’t know much…”
“as i understand, wan mo island, like yue tian island, is one of the three major islands in the thousand islands domain, and it’s said that the island is entirely populated by demon cultivators.”
“moreover, the island master of wan mo island is said to be extremely dangerous, his true face has never been seen by anyone, and he is known as the demon lord wan mo.”
“his cultivation must be at least at the late stage of divinity transformation, right?”
having said this, lin jing looked towards li tangyu and asked:
“could it be that the constraint on your body was placed by that demon lord wan mo?”
li tangyu shook his head and said:
“it’s not him…”
“but it is his fifth disciple, the demon lord yin ye.”
“my current condition is all thanks to him.”
lin jing frowned and said:
