"Thank you, Saintess..."
Before Guan Ya could kneel, Ji Yunyue quickly reached out and steadied him. xxs壹贰
"Guan Ya, don't be like this. Seeing you like this, I know you must have suffered a lot. If the Grand Elder is going to punish you so severely just for stealing the Spring and Autumn Life-Death Gu, and especially if it was to save someone, then there's definitely favoritism involved. Also, if my master was unaware of this matter, then it's even less your fault. I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Ji Yunyue promised, her voice heavy!
Upon hearing this, Guan Ya's eyes brightened further, and his emotions were somewhat stirred. However, he ultimately shook his head at Ji Yunyue and said, "Heh, forget it. Justice or not, it's all the same now. I just want Yi Lan to live. As long as she comes back to life, we don't care about having any further connection with the Witch God Hall!"
Ji Yunyue's heart trembled!
Faith had been lost!
Indeed, the actions of the Witch God Hall had caused Guan Ya's faith in the Witch God Hall to completely collapse. The fact that he didn't hate the Witch God Hall to the extreme and didn't directly seek revenge was already a testament to his restraint over his hatred!
"No need to say more, you go first!"
Ling Feng instructed with a grim expression.
Ji Yunyue also knew she had spoken too much. Some words could comfort people, but others were useless and, if said too much, would only rub salt into their wounds!
"Alright, I'm going!"
Ji Yunyue nodded, her expression chilling as she quickened her pace and sped away!
Ling Feng, however, remained cautious and sent a divine sense imprint behind Ji Yunyue, just in case something happened to her and he remained unaware!
"Be extremely careful. If you sense anything amiss, contact me immediately!"
Ling Feng urged in a deep voice!
Ji Yunyue waved her hand without looking back, and in a flash, her figure turned into a black dot!
Jin Tong from the side stepped forward, "Your Highness, shall this humble subordinate go and protect her?"
Seeing Jin Tong volunteer, Ling Feng paused for a moment before nodding, "Good! You go. Remember, if anything happens, notify me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Jin Tong flashed away!
Seeing this scene, Lin Siqi couldn't help but lean closer to Ling Feng and whispered, "Ling Feng, do you think there's a major problem within the Witch God Hall?"
"Whether there's a problem or not, I must have an explanation for this matter!"
Ling Feng's expression was chilling as he raised his hand, grabbed Guan Ya's elbow, and took two steps to the side.
At first, everyone was a little confused as to why Ling Feng would make such a move.
But soon, they understood what Ling Feng meant!
Guan Ya's leg was lame!
"Was this also left behind in the Witch God Hall a year ago?"
Ling Feng asked with a chilling expression.
Guan Ya gave a bitter smile and nodded, "Yes, the poison is deep. It's already a miracle that this leg could be saved!"
After speaking, Guan Ya seemed to shake his head with some difficulty and said, "Brother Ling Feng, I'm truly happy to see you all again. If Yi Lan saw you, she would definitely be happy too. However, I don't wish for anyone to disturb Yi Lan right now!"
Ling Feng was taken aback, then nodded at Guan Ya, "Alright, I'll listen to you. I only wanted to confirm her physical condition. You know, the conditions for using the Life-Death Gu are very strict! And a year has passed, the chances of revival might be slim!"
Guan Ya's eyes dimmed a little, then he took a deep breath and nodded, "If, after trying, there's truly no way to revive her, then I have no regrets!"
"Well, it's good that you're prepared. You are now..."
Ling Feng scanned his surroundings!
"Oh, hehe, I'm just a village doctor now. The poison on these refugees is very troublesome. I've been trying to detoxify them for a while, but the results haven't been good. However, through their situation, one thing has been basically confirmed!"
Guan Ya gave a self-deprecating smile at first, but as he spoke, a chilling glint appeared in his eyes!
Ling Feng asked calmly, "What is it?"
"Some very potent poisonous Gu have been cultivated in the Witch God Hall's Myriad Gu Cave, and they have escaped. The towns closest to the Witch God Hall have suffered, and these are people who escaped from those towns!"
Guan Ya's expression was chilling. As he said this, he shook his head, "I am no longer a member of the Witch God Hall, and by rights, these matters are not my concern. However, why are so many witch doctors in the Witch God Hall not attending to this matter? That's what I find most incomprehensible!"
"That's easily understandable."
Ling Feng said coldly.
Guan Ya was startled, "Why?"
"Because someone intentionally did this. These people are experimental subjects!"
Ling Feng's expression was chilling as he reached out and helped an old man up. He looked into the old man's eyes; the elder was disoriented, appearing dazed. As Ling Feng lifted him, he was still stuffing grass roots into his mouth.
"Highly parasitic. They did indeed escape, but those who didn't escape have likely become feed for the Gu worms!"
Guan Ya's eyes widened, "Brother Ling Feng, are you saying that they are all specially treated feed, used to raise the Gu worms in the Myriad Gu Cave?!"
Ling Feng nodded, "That should be the case. Saving them is very simple!"
"Huh?" Guan Ya was astonished again. So many years had passed, and his skill as a witch doctor had become increasingly proficient. The Gu worms on his body could even detoxify people. Yet, in the past few days, Guan Ya had exerted a lot of effort on these people, only managing to preserve their lives.
However, such a thorny problem had become a simple one to solve in Ling Feng's hands?
Before Guan Ya could recover, golden-yellow flames appeared around Ling Feng.
The flames were extremely hot, startling Guan Ya into instinctively dodging to the side. But soon, these flames spread outwards!
The speed was very fast.
In just one second, they had passed through everyone's bodies!
Guan Ya's eyes widened in utter astonishment as he turned to look.
The refugees on the ground were now emitting layers of white mist from their bodies; the toxins within them were being evaporated!
"Brother Ling Feng, what kind of flames are these?!"
"One of the Dragon Blood's innate abilities. You can consider it healing flames, which are perfect for counteracting these Gu poisons!"
Ling Feng explained calmly, then with a flick of his wrist, a large amount of food appeared on the ground!
This was all the food Ling Feng had stored in his spatial artifact for emergencies, and today it was all put to use!
The refugees, who had just been detoxified, were regaining their strength. Suddenly seeing food, including a ton of giant roasted meat, their eyes turned red, and they all rushed forward!
