Chapter 654 652: The Urge to Kill
This kind of thing has happened before, but it always happened to outsiders.
Almost all locals know what the situation is here.
Yun Xue'xue probably knows nothing about the situation here, that's why she was deceived.
The normal procedure is to come here and find a recommender.
Then the recommender would take Yun Xue'xue to compete for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy.
Obviously, Yun Xue'xue never found a recommender.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked into this state.
Yun Xue'xue knows nothing about how to compete for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy, which is why she was deceived.
"Every year, people come to compete for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy. Many of the unsuccessful competitors leave.
A few stay and gather here, deceiving outsiders who don't understand the situation to steal their magic and strengthen themselves."
Tang Qingqing said to Mo Lin, "Yun Xue'xue was deceived."
Mo Lin's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying killing intent surged forth.
At this moment, Mo Lin wanted to kill.
He had never had such a crazy thought to kill as he did now.
"Yun Xue'xue's current physical condition is very poor; it will take months before she can recover. She temporarily can't compete for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy," Tang Qingqing slowly said to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin's heart sank.
He knew very well how much Yun Xue'xue yearned for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy.
If she found out she couldn't compete for the position temporarily, she would surely be very sad.
"Her soul has been damaged, and she needs treatment," Tang Qingqing said to Mo Lin. "I'll take her to Jingming Daoism for treatment."
Suffering soul damage is a very serious matter.
If she doesn't receive proper treatment, she could become deranged and mentally unstable.
Yun Xue'xue came here not only without competing for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy but was also harmed to the point of soul damage.
"Take Yun Xue'xue back first, I need to handle something," Mo Lin prepared to stay behind to avenge Yun Xue'xue.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to kill.
Tang Qingqing understood Mo Lin's desire for revenge on behalf of Yun Xue'xue.
"Wait for me here; once I have settled Yun Xue'xue, I'll come back to help you deal with those people."
Yun Xue'xue's soul injury needs prompt treatment, without any delay.
Tang Qingqing definitely couldn't accompany Mo Lin for revenge against those people.
The best way is to settle Yun Xue'xue before coming back to team up with Mo Lin to deal with those wicked people.
"It's fine, you go first." Mo Lin couldn't take in Tang Qingqing's words.
Vengeful for Yun Xue'xue, Mo Lin is enough on his own; he doesn't need Tang Qingqing's help.
Mo Lin didn't want to wait.
Right now, he just wanted to avenge Yun Xue'xue.
Tang Qingqing nodded, stopped delaying, and then departed with Yun Xue'xue.
It wasn't until Tang Qingqing's figure completely disappeared that Mo Lin moved.
Mo Lin's figure vanished instantly from where he stood.
The next moment, he appeared more than ten meters away.
The Cyan Cloud Sword leapt forward directly in front, then slashed down.
A sword gleam slashed down head-on.
"Swish..."
As the sword gleam fell, a large area of trees was cut down.
In the originally pathless area, a path was forcibly cut out.
A lonely silhouette stood at the position where the sword gleam landed.
This man was only about 1.6 meters tall, with sharp features.
He had been hiding here, observing Mo Lin's actions.
The man stood in place at a loss, completely stunned.
His white face had no trace of color.
He had hidden his presence, never expecting to be discovered.
It wasn't that the man didn't want to escape, but he knew very well he couldn't.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Mo Lin coldly asked the man.
"My name is Xiaoqi, following Fifth Brother's orders to watch Yun Xue'xue here," the man replied to Mo Lin, his voice trembling.
His legs were trembling uncontrollably.
Xiaoqi wasn't really faint-hearted; Mo Lin's intimidating presence was too strong.
Those murderous eyes made his heart almost leap out.
Mo Lin standing before the man was like Death God standing before him.
Death itself isn't frightening, but knowing you might die is very frightening.
The fear of facing one's own impending doom loomed in his heart.
Before Mo Lin could ask further, the man added, "Fifth Brother is waiting for Yun Xue'xue's essence blood to deplete completely, then he will come to take her magic."
This man had only one job here: watch Yun Xue'xue, and when she exhausted her blood using magic, he would notify Fifth Brother to come kill her.
"Who is Fifth Brother?" Mo Lin pursued further with the man.
"Wuqi, a practitioner of curses, he's the one who deceived Yun Xue'xue and cast the Mad Heart Curse on her, causing her madness."
Whatever Mo Lin asked, the man answered without daring to conceal anything.
"Thud."
The man suddenly knelt before Mo Lin, begging, "Senior, spare my life, I'm just a runner.
It wasn't me who harmed Yun Xue'xue, it was Wuqi who harmed her.
I was kind enough to advise Yun Xue'xue to leave, but she wouldn't listen."
Mo Lin partially believed the first sentence, but fully trusted the latter.
Mo Lin knew Yun Xue'xue's character very well; she was too eager for the position of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy to heed warnings to leave.
"Slash!"
Blood splattered in the air.
Mo Lin wielded his sword and directly severed the man's left arm.
The man fell to the ground in pain, his body twitching.
"My hand..." The man was about to wail but saw Mo Lin's murderous expression and swallowed his words.
"Take me to Wuqi." Like picking up a chicken, Mo Lin lifted the man by the collar.
"Three kilometers east ahead, there's a building, Wuqi is inside," the man truthfully told Mo Lin.
Following the man's directions, Mo Lin walked about three kilometers east and saw a building.
It was a two-story residential building.
About thirty people were sitting at the door, playing chess, smiling and chatting happily.
"Congratulations, Fifth Brother, on soon becoming the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy," a woman smiled as she congratulated the man in front.
"No need to be so polite, we're all friends. If I do well, I'll surely be good to all of you," the man replied jovially.
This man was dressed in black, with short hair and dark skin.
He was Wuqi.
"Once Yun Xue'xue dies, you go seize her magic.
With her magic, you'll surely secure a spot as a Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy," another man flattered him.
"That woman is too foolish; she believes everything I say.
She doesn't even know the situation here and wants to compete for the Twenty-four Solar Terms Envoy position; she deserves to fall into my hands."
Wuqi was so delighted his smile wouldn't fade, "It's already been a week.
The woman can live at most two more days.
After two days, I'll seize her magic."
Wuqi had calculated the timeframe.
With his curse, no matter how strong Yun Xue'xue is, it's to no avail.
Yun Xue'xue managing to last seven days exceeded 99% of people.
"Boom!"
A dark figure smashed down heavily from a distance.
It shattered the table right in front of Wuqi.
