Chapter 162 Malice is Full
"boom"
The moment Ling Yi removed his heart, the monster's tail struck him, sending him flying.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang and Baijiu were about to help when Ling Yi landed steadily with the help of the wind. The two breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the monster, only to find that the monster had disappeared. Only Xue Zhao was left lying on the ground, with bright red blood continuously flowing from her chest, staining her white clothes.
Ye Qingshuang was stunned for a moment. Where was the monster?
As soon as the thought came to mind, Ye Qingshuang immediately looked towards Ling Yi and saw that the heart Ling Yi was holding was rapidly turning black, with wisps of black mist detaching from the heart and wrapping around Ling Yi's arm.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang exclaimed in surprise: "Ling Yi, be careful! It wants to live with you!"
Ling Yi remained unmoved, parted the black mist, sliced open the heart with his fingertips, and took out a fragment from the deepest part of the heart.
As the fragment was removed, the black mist detached from the heart and gathered on the fragment. A continuous stream of black mist overflowed from the fragment and wrapped around Ling Yi's body.
He ignored the black mist and instead quietly looked at the fragments in his hand.
If she touches a fragment of the Mountain and River Mirror, she will enter the Heavenly Mandate. The Spirit-Nourishing Pearl did not enter the Heavenly Mandate. Is it because she has not yet dealt with these black mists?
Thinking of this, Ling Yi looked at the black mist that was desperately wrapping around her. The next moment, flames emerged from her palm, enveloping the fragments of the Spirit-Nourishing Pearl and setting them ablaze.
Ling Yi wanted to burn away the black mist with fire, but... looking at the black mist that remained as agile as ever in the fire, Ling Yi's gaze turned cold: "It's not afraid of fire."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's voice, the black mist became even more agile in the fire, as if taunting Ling Yi.
Seeing this, Ling Yi smiled and said, "The flames can't kill you. I wonder if you'll still be here if you get eaten?"
eat?
Hearing this, Black Mist was somewhat confused. What did that mean?
Ye Qingshuang also heard Ling Yi's words and quickly said, "Ling Yi, it eats human hearts, how disgusting! Don't eat it, leave it to me, I can handle it."
Ling Yi turned her head to look at Ye Qingshuang, raising an eyebrow: "Can you handle this?"
Ye Qingshuang nodded: "I can."
"Alright." Ling Yi didn't say anything more and tossed the fragment to Ye Qingshuang.
Ye Qingshuang grabbed the fragment and poured her power into it. As the power entered the fragment, the black mist began to disappear as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
"no no!"
The black mist let out a piercing scream: "How could this be, how could there be a spirit..."
A small soundproof barrier was created, silencing all the black fog's words.
Ye Qingshuang looked at the still howling black mist within the fragments, her brows and eyes seemingly frosted over, and she injected even more power with greater speed.
As a continuous stream of power entered the fragment, the black mist had nowhere to escape and was gradually eliminated by that power. As the black mist was eliminated, the fragment released a rich spiritual energy.
When the black mist within the fragments completely disappeared, Ye Qingshuang's strength was also exhausted, and she could barely stand.
Baijiu noticed that Ye Qingshuang was not right and quickly reached out to support her.
Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and said with a smile, "It's resolved."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ling Yi took the fragment, which turned into starlight and disappeared in his hand. At the same time, the Heavenly Mandate unfolded in his sea of consciousness, and a piece of the Spirit-Nourishing Pearl Diagram lit up.
"This?" Ye Qingshuang asked in surprise as she saw the fragment disappear. "It's gone?"
"Hmm." Ling Yi responded, and was about to say something when a group of soldiers rushed in, along with several elderly men.
As the elders stepped into this place, they sensed a rich spiritual energy. Upon seeing Xue Zhao lying on the ground, their expressions changed slightly: "You've taken the things out of the Fourth Princess's body?"
Ling Yi looked up at the old man: "Yes, it's out."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately said, "Those belong to the Fourth Princess. Hand them over, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Ling Yi's gaze swept over the soldiers, his tone indifferent: "The Fourth Princess was possessed by a monster. We dealt with the monster. Shouldn't this thing belong to us?"
The old man sneered, "You say there are monsters, so there are monsters? Where are they?"
The soldiers saw it, but when the palace elders said so, the soldiers fell silent.
Ling Yi looked at the old men and asked Tian Yan in his mind, "Does killing them count as a number of people?"
Tianyan responded: 【Yes, they wanted to kill you and steal your treasure; their malice is at its maximum.】
"That's fine." After receiving Tianyan's reply, Ling Yi sheathed her bone knife and walked towards the group. Just then, a man rushed in in a panic, landing beside Xue Zhao, his voice filled with grief: "Princess!"
The old men's expressions changed when they saw the man who appeared.
Ling Yi observed the changes in their expressions and understood why these old men hadn't killed Xue Zhao to seize the treasure.
They were no match for Xue Zhao's guards.
Uncle Li rushed back after buying the pastries, only to find the palace in chaos. The palace servants said that the Fourth Princess had turned into a monster, killed the Emperor, and was heading to the Empress's palace.
Uncle Li didn't believe it and rushed over, only to find Xue Zhao lying in a pool of blood.
“Princess…” Uncle Li looked at Xue Zhao, his face contorted with grief.
“Uncle Li…” Xue Zhao’s weak voice rang out. Hearing Xue Zhao’s voice, Ling Yi was a little surprised. Her heart had been removed for so long, yet she was still breathing.
Ling Yi turned around and saw Uncle Li kneeling beside Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao said, "Uncle Li, I can't eat any more pastries. Please do me one more favor."
Uncle Li quickly replied, "Your Highness, please give your orders, and I will certainly carry them out."
"Send my three benefactors away." Xue Zhao's voice was soft, like the night wind: "I became a monster, and they restored me to normal. Don't listen to what others say and harm your benefactors. I want you to send them away safely."
"Yes, yes," Uncle Li replied repeatedly, "I promise the princess, I will do my best!"
Xue Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle Li, don't be sad. I'm just going to see my mother."
"I miss my mother so much, and I'm sure she misses me too..."
"Uncle Li, thank you for protecting me all these years. Take care from now on..."
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away Xue Zhao's last whisper.
"Princess!"
Looking at Xue Zhao, Uncle Li could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
The soldiers were at a loss for what to do when they saw this.
The princess turned into a monster and killed His Majesty. Now that the princess is dead, what should be done?
The soldiers could only ask others to handle the matter, while the elders coveted the treasure that could release abundant spiritual energy. They originally wanted to pin the princess's death on Ling Yi and his group, get Uncle Li to join them in dealing with Ling Yi and his companions, and then seize the treasure. But now…
The princess's dying words made it impossible for them to pin the blame on Ling Yi, and they couldn't help but curse Xue Zhao in their hearts for ruining their plans even in death.
The group harbored resentment, but knew they wouldn't get the treasure today, so they had to leave. Just as they were about to depart, Ling Yi appeared in front of them in a flash: "Trying to leave?"
