Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Come, I’ll Tell You Two Words Now

“The graves were moved here by some prestigious families who hired masters. But I’ve heard recently that you’re about to be expelled from the immortal sect, so they want to keep this good spot for someone else who enters the sect. Another person from the village has joined the sect in the last two years,” Granny Lin kindly reminded him.

However, Lin Zhi was like a statue, not hearing a sound.

Granny Lin sighed and continued.

“They’re waiting for you to come back. If it’s confirmed that you’re not an immortal, they’re going to act. You’ll have to figure it out yourself.”

With another sigh, Granny Lin turned and left.

She was an old woman and couldn’t help much.

At most, she could help clean.

This was because Lin Zhi’s mother, before she died, had given her belongings to Granny Lin.

That’s what got her through the toughest winter.

Otherwise, at her age, she wouldn’t have survived that winter.

A long while after Granny Lin had left, some strong men arrived with tools.

Seeing Lin Zhi, they weren’t surprised, but they were worried.

“Immortal Master Lin, this place belongs to our master, and he wants it back. We hope you can make way.”

Lin Zhi stood still.

“Stop pretending. We call you Immortal Master out of politeness, but do you really think you are one? I heard you’re only a bit stronger than us, which is laughable,” someone said mockingly, losing their temper.

Yet Lin Zhi remained motionless.

“Well, don’t blame us for taking action then.”

As they spoke, someone moved to attack.

They were holding sticks.

Approaching cautiously, they still swung a stick down.

Bang!

The stick hit Lin Zhi’s head hard.

No reaction.

This emboldened them, and they began to attack wildly with their sticks.

Lin Zhi, with his head bowed, looked at the tombstone without moving.

He couldn’t even feel the pain in his body.

But just as a stick was about to hit the tombstone,

Lin Zhi moved in an instant, grabbing the stick and then crushing it with a fierce squeeze.

Bang!

The stick shattered.

He then looked back at the few strong men, his eyes red: “What are you trying to do?”

This sudden turn of events scared them, and they began to retreat.

“This place belongs to the master, and he will surely take it back.”

Saying this, the men started to leave.

However, they didn’t get far.

One by one, they were sent flying into the air as if hit by something, then fell to the ground.

Their cries of pain echoed continuously.

At that moment, a rabbit walked through the air, step by step towards Lin Zhi.

It was Lord Rabbit.

Seeing the rabbit, Lin Zhi seemed to find someone he could pour his heart out to, and he knelt down.

Every ounce of strength crumbled in an instant.

He wept profusely at the grave for a very long time.

The rabbit stood by his side, looking at the tombstone and said:

“Heaven burdens those who are to be tasked with great responsibilities. First, it torments their will, exhausts their muscles and bones, starves their skin, empties their body, disrupts their actions, so as to strengthen their resolve and enhance their capabilities beyond their previous limits.”

Lin Zhi looked at the rabbit, bewildered: “What does Lord Rabbit mean?”

“Lord Rabbit is telling you that the path to greatness is inevitably fraught with hardship, and the suffering you endure now will become the support and strength for your future,” the rabbit said earnestly.

Isn’t that what his master had said, just like Lord Rabbit?

“But can an ordinary person like me really be someone who is burdened with great responsibilities?” Lin Zhi asked incredulously.

“You may not realize that standing before you is a future great demon of chaos. If you knew, you wouldn’t ask such a question.”

The rabbit took to the air and hovered: “Everyone on the road knows that Lord Rabbit values honesty and never deceives.”

In that moment, Lin Zhi regained his composure.

He stood up, determined to find Grandma Lin and learn the truth about his mother’s departure.

……

Shortly after.

Lin Zhi looked at Grandma Lin in disbelief.

“The day after I was initiated, my mother passed away? She had been waiting for that day?”

He then understood much more; his mother had been gravely ill, and if he had returned that day, there would have been food she had saved in pain for him to live on.

If he hadn’t returned, she would have been at peace giving the food away.

“When your mother gave me the food, she told me with a smile that she could rest easy,” Grandma Lin said.

Hearing this, Lin Zhi sat down, tears falling like raindrops.

……

Seven days later.

In late April.

Jiang Hao received a notification from Lawless Tower.

This time, they didn’t specify the matter, only asking him to come over.

“I always feel like I’ve become one of Lawless Tower’s people.”

Previously, they had summoned him in Elder Bai’s name.

Now they were calling him directly.

Of course, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; getting familiar with them would make it easier to join them in the future. Just like getting to know Liu Xingchen.

However, cooperating with fellow sect members could be problematic; it’s more reassuring to work with undercover agents.

There’s no need to worry about harming each other.

……

Inside Lawless Tower.

“This isn’t an interrogation of Junior Sister Gu Qin?” Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

This time, they wanted him to interrogate Mi Lingyue.

“Yes, Gu Qin has a treasure, but it’s difficult to extract from her. Mi Lingyue’s hands are special, and there’s a chance she can retrieve the treasure,” the woman in black explained briefly.

Jiang Hao had anticipated this, but he was surprised that they had found it so soon and had already interrogated her.

Once he had a rough idea, Jiang Hao stepped inside.

At that moment, Mi Lingyue, looking exhausted, leaned against the wall.

“These people are ruthless, I’m almost dead. But they think they can force me to help them like this? If they have the guts, they should kill me.”

“Didn’t she say she would release you as long as you help? And that she would restore some of your cultivation,” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

“Do you think I believe that?”

Mi Lingyue glanced to the side and said.

“After using me, they’ll continue to detain me. Trust them? How could I? This is the Demon Sect, not some highly esteemed immortal sect. Would you believe them?”

Zhuang Yuzhen nodded; indeed, he had been deceived like this before.

After all, Tianyin Sect’s word was not to be trusted; it was quite common.

Gu Qing lowered her head, worried.

She never imagined that the person beside her was known for her Forging Hands.

Fortunately, this was the Demon Sect, and the other party was unwilling to trust them.

“If you have the guts, kill me, or let Heavenly King Hai Luo’s King come and tell me a few words to see if it works,” Mi Lingyue shouted loudly.

She seemed to have no weaknesses.

At that moment, footsteps were heard.

Although very light, everyone looked over.

Zhuang Yuzhen saw that the person coming was Jiang Hao.

Heavenly King Hai Luo looked disdainful but said nothing.

“Ah, you’ve arrived?” Mi Lingyue suddenly perked up.

“Now you want to tell me a few words? So, what words will you use to make me comply willingly?”

Jiang Hao stood in front of the cell and calmly asked the woman before him.

“Can you extract the treasure from her body?”

He said, pointing casually at Gu Qing.

“Of course,” Mi Lingyue admitted openly.

“So, will you help?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“Do you deserve it?”

Mi Lingyue said arrogantly, not caring about Jiang Hao.

“Just Foundation Establishment at its peak, what do you have to ask of me? At the very least, you should kneel, shouldn’t you?”

Mi Lingyue said with a smile.

Jiang Hao remained expressionless, and with a gentle wave of his hand, beckoned.

“Now I will tell you two words, and after hearing these two words, you will help.”

Here it comes.

Zhuang Yuzhen and Heavenly King Hai Luo were both watching.

They had both experienced the terror of this beckoning before.

Would it be ineffective now?

For a moment, they became excited.

Mi Lingyue also smiled. Finally, it was her turn to be beckoned.

She stood up, came over to Jiang Hao, and leaned in to listen.

“You speak, I’m listening.”

Seeing that she really could get up and come over, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

It seemed that Mi Lingyue’s treatment was indeed different from the others.

“I hope that after listening, you will still be this optimistic.”

“I hope that after you finish speaking, you will still be this confident.”

Jiang Hao smiled faintly, then spoke two words in a soft voice.

The moment Mi Lingyue heard these two words, her face, which had been smiling, immediately looked up at Jiang Hao in horror, and then her face contorted, her voice almost a roar.

“What did you say? What do you mean?”

Jiang Hao looked at her, his eyes devoid of much emotion:

“It seems to be of no use, so if that’s the case, see you next time.”

After saying that, he turned and left without lingering.

“Wait, come back, tell me what you really mean!”

However, Jiang Hao walked further and further away, not looking back at all.

Seeing this, Mi Lingyue had already lost her previous arrogance and pride, and she pleaded loudly.

“Come back! I’ll help, I’ll help you! Please, come back!”

Watching all this, Heavenly King Hai Luo and Zhuang Yuzhen were filled with dread.

They had said not to be so confident, so why bother?

At this moment, Gu Qing felt extremely cold.

She couldn’t understand why a Foundation Establishment completion could directly affect her life and death.
