Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1318 1318: Traitor

"Clang clang!"

Mo Xiao struggled to piece together the shattered wood.

He couldn't fix the door, but he couldn't let the young master and Qin Yi do it themselves, could he? He could only grit his teeth and try.

Jing Wuyan's other subordinates snickered on the sidelines.

"Mo Xiao, do you even know what you're doing? It's the first time I've seen a rhomboid door."

Seeing Mo Xiao fit the door into a strange shape, Qin Yi couldn't resist mocking.

Mo Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying it would be done soon, but inwardly he was grinning bitterly; this was harder than his cultivation.

"Forget it, stop fixing it."

"Young Master Qin, it'll be done soon."

"Even if it's fixed, it'll be ruined again soon. Get someone to fix it later."

Jing Wuyan and Mo Xiao looked at Qin Yi in surprise, not understanding what fixing only to ruin meant.

"Someone's coming," Qin Yi said.

"Boom!"

As soon as Qin Yi finished speaking, the courtyard's door exploded directly, a blood-stained figure crashing into the yard, rolling over several times.

"Young master, run!" The person on the ground gasped weakly.

"Zheng Lin." Hearing the figure, Jing Wuyan's face changed drastically, rushing over to support Zheng Lin, letting him semi-recline in his arms, "Zheng Lin, what happened?"

Zheng Lin was extremely weak, his voice so faint it was hard to hear, his mouth opening and closing without knowing what he said?

Qin Yi raised his hand, a Purple Light from his palm entered Zheng Lin's body, aiding his healing.

The next second, Qin Yi's gaze flickered, stepping forward, "Leave it to me, I'll heal him."

Jing Wuyan handed Zheng Lin to Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, please."

Just then, the sound of breaking through the air rang.

More than a dozen figures flew in from the surrounding walls.

Jing Wuyan's face changed drastically.

"Protect the young master." Mo Xiao and others swiftly surrounded Jing Wuyan.

Yet, at that moment, the seemingly dying Zheng Lin suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp, gleaming dagger appearing in his hand, lightning-fast, striking towards Qin Yi's abdomen.

One hit and Zheng Lin was immediately sent flying.

"Brother Qin!"

"Young Master Qin!"

Jing Wuyan, Mo Xiao, and others realized this and exclaimed.

Qin Yi clutched his abdomen, the sharp, gleaming dagger stuck there, tightly held by his hand.

"Qin Yi."

Yun Mengyao, alarmed by the commotion outside, opened the door and came out. Seeing Qin Yi stabbed, her face turned pale, crazed as she dashed over.

"Qin Yi, how are you? Don't scare me..." Yun Mengyao's voice trembled.

Qin Yi's face was weak, ashen as paper, feebly saying: "I, I can't make it, this stab hurt my vitals, the road ahead, you must walk alone... I can't accompany you back to the Feather Clan..."

Before finishing his words, he fell into Yun Mengyao's arms.

"Qin Yi, Qin Yi..." Yun Mengyao trembled, crying desperately, "Wake up, wake up, you're Qin Yi, you're Blood Shura, you said no one in this world can kill you, you liar, wake up..."

Jing Wuyan and others were all surprised. Qin Yi saved their lives numerous times along the way, and now, he was dead.

Jing Wuyan's eyes turned red, glaring angrily at Zheng Lin, "Why?"

Zheng Lin looked smug, "Young master, don't blame me. People die for wealth, birds for food; they offered me enough money to ensure a life of luxury, how could I refuse?"

"Have you forgotten that the Sword Sect killed your entire family? Is this the right thing for your dead family?"

Zheng Lin wore a villainous expression, "Young master, you are too naive. The Sword Sect did kill my wife and children, but they offered me terms I couldn't refuse. With money, what woman couldn't I find? Having ten or eight more children isn't difficult."

"Beast, you became a slave to the Sword Sect for money." Mo Xiao cursed furiously.

Zheng Lin sneered even more, "Alright, you all are noble, I'm a despicable villain, satisfied? Yet, my despicable self can laugh until the end, you're all going to die soon."

Jing Wuyan's eyes turned cold, "Where are the others?"

"Young master, you really are naive. Do you think I'd leave them alive? Being against the Sword Sect is seeking one's own death."

Jing Wuyan trembled with rage, Zheng Lin was one of the recruits temporarily residing at another base. Unexpectedly, he'd betrayed them for money, likely having already killed those with him.

"Traitor, you won't die well." Jia Fengping roared angrily.

Zheng Lin looked disdainful, "Don't put on any self-righteous facade in front of me. If you surrender now, there's a chance of survival. The Sword Sect promises if you surrender, they'll reward you with plenty of money and resources.

I advise you to consider it. Surrender, and you can live with endless riches, limitless resources. Resistance only leads to death. Isn't that an easy choice?"

Mo Xiao roared angrily, "Beast, do you think we're all like you, greedy, cowardly, treacherous?"

Zheng Lin laughed sinisterly, "I say, everyone, I understand Mo Xiao's words completely, because he is Jing Wuyan's trusted aide from the Northern Central State. What about the rest of you? I'm telling you, challenging the Sword Sect is like an egg hitting a rock. Jing Wuyan is using you as pawns, trying to save his woman at the cost of your lives, is it worth it?"

"If you surrender, I guarantee you endless luxury, endless resources. Of course, I don't mind if you resist, but the cost of resistance is death right here." A tall man, dressed in black, with a broadsword, blind in one eye, stepped forward.

Mo Xiao shouted: "Everyone, don't listen to their lies, everyone knows the Sword Sect's true nature. Surrendering only leads to slaughter."

Jing Wuyan looked coldly at the man with the broadsword, "When did the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group become the Sword Sect's dogs?"

The man with the broadsword laughed heartily, "As expected of the son of the Netherworld Hall's master, keen eyes indeed. However, since you know we're from the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, you should know we do business taking money to fix problems. They offered an irresistible price to capture you, a deal we cannot refuse."

"Everyone, I'm the fifth leader of the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, Ao Shi. You should have heard of my name. I swear on the dignity of the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, if you surrender, endless riches and limitless resources await you. This is the last chance, rejection only means dying here and now."
