Spirit Realm Chapter 468-470

Chapter 468: Seal!

Xie Jingxuan’s previous attack had instantly shattered the wood spirit’s wall and dealt a terrible blow to both Ye Yihao and the wood spirit.

This was an attack Chu Li and the others wouldn’t have been able to accomplish.

Regardless of whether Xie Jingxuan had been corrupted by the soul fragments of the Wood Race clansmen or not, at least her current targets were Ye Yihao and the wood spirit—she could really wound them!

The only thing keeping her from doing that was the voodoo toxin that had seeped into her True Soul!

The moment the voodoo toxin was cured, Xie Jingxuan would be able to torment Ye Yihao and the wood spirit!

Qin Lie quickly understood Chu Li’s idea of using Xie Jingxuan to deal with Ye Yihao.

This idea would definitely work!

“Spurt!”

A thin, tender branch that forked from the Tree God’s larger branches pierced Zhang Chendong’s chest like a jade green sword.

The chest of Zhang Chendong, who had been fighting alongside Luo Chen, was completely pierced by the thin branch. Like a water pump, it sucked the blood and essence inside his internal organs out of his body and sent them gushing into the Tree God.

At this moment, Luo Chen’s last comrade was mercilessly killed.

“The direction you were escaping in was perfectly fine. If you hadn’t entered this village or stopped to rest, maybe you would have actually been able to leave the Forbidden Land of Wood.” Ye Yihao laughed coldly and shook his head. “How unfortunate. It’s regrettable that you failed to suppress your curiosity and instead entered this place.

“Strangle them to death!”

All of the trees in the area twisted toward Qin Lie and the others; as far as the eye could see, branches of all shapes and lengths shot at them from every direction, resembling strange snakes seeking to wrap around them and kill them.

These tree branches seemed to possess basic intelligence, specifically avoiding the people of the three great families and Black Voodoo Cult and only attacking the martial practitioners of Illusory Demon Sect and Terminator Sect.

“Qin Lie!” Chu Li exclaimed abruptly.

Qin Lie, who was guarding the stone well behind him, finally reacted to Chu Li’s voice and bolted toward Xie Jingxuan like lightning.

His spatial ring flashed, and the jade bottle that contained a drop of voodoo insect blood appeared in his hand.

“Whoosh!”

The jade bottle rolled through the air and headed toward Xie Jingxuan like a falling star.

“That’s a drop of voodoo insect blood!” Qin Lie exclaimed softly.

At the same time, three drops of blood resembling bloodstones flew out of his palm and transformed into three burning Fire Qilins.

The three Fire Qilins roared as their intense flames formed a raging inferno barrier that defended Xie Jingxuan.

“Put the drop of blood in your forehead!” Song Tingyu instructed loudly.

“The blood can cure the voodoo toxin!” He Wei shouted.

Xie Jingxuan had drunk the spring water of the Spring of Life and used the life energy in it to maintain her life force. However, she was corrupted by the unbending, fragmented will of the Wood Race clansmen inside the Spring of Life and left in a state of unconsciousness.

They were worried that Xie Jingxuan was unable to think and didn’t know how to use the voodoo insect blood, so they pointed out how it worked.

“Boom boom boom!”

Thunder surged through Qin Lie’s body as he swung the Astral Thunder Hammer and spread intense lightning everywhere to shatter the branches that were heading in his direction.

On top of that, he was also doing his best to protect Xie Jingxuan.

The black and white dots deep inside of Xie Jingxuan’s eyes suddenly flickered with an unusual light.

Her face surged with immense life force, and her lifeless expression changed.

Xie Jingxuan gripped the wooden sculpture and used it to accurately strike the jade bottle that was falling toward her head. The jade bottle shattered as a drop of blood appeared in the air.

Xie Jingxuan reached out with her free hand and made a pulling motion.

A beam of light that was a grassy green emerged from her hand and wrapped around the drop of blood like soft green ribbons.

The voodoo insect blood flowed downward and came to rest on her forehead like a tiny cinnabar mole.

Wisps of black and brown smoke rapidly escaped from her eyes. They stuck to the voodoo insect blood as if magnetically attracted.

The drop of blood turned black after absorbing the voodoo insect toxin, becoming viscous and then solid. An evil, intimidating aura gushed from it.

“Plop!”

The now solid drop of blood fell from Xie Jingxuan’s forehead, her cries of pain having stopped long ago.

Her eyes that had been covered in black and white spots regained their intimidating, evil light, and dark green haloes rippled from her body like those of the deep sea.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Xie Jingxuan opened her mouth, pointed in the direction of the stone well, and inhaled.

All of the thin green mist above the well, still mixed with chaotic energy and the soul fragments of the Wood Race clansmen, rushed into Xie Jingxuan’s mouth.

Xie Jingxuan’s eyes shone with unnatural green light.

Gripping a wooden sculpture in her other hand, she floated in midair like a green ghost. Then, resembling a demon, she flew through tiny gaps in the attacking branches and instantly arrived next to Ye Yihao

The two wooden sculptures she held unleashed a terrifying light and resembled two immeasurably sharp, unbreakable godly swords.

“Crack! Crack!”

As if wielding two swords, Xie Jingxuan continuously slashed at the wood around Ye Yihao’s body, chopping through and breaking numerous jade green branches.

“Bite her to death! Bite her to death now!” Ye Yihao screamed.

The Eight-winged Centipede Queen burst through his skin and flew out of his chest yet again.

The voodoo insect howled as it flew toward Xie Jingxuan to bite her. Its eight wings glowed with a cold black light, making them look like eight sharp blades.

“Burn it! Burn it with fire!” Xue Moyan yelled.

Qin Lie and Du Xiangyang acted in unison.

The fire sword in Du Xiangyang’s hand suddenly burned significantly hotter as it transformed into a fire dragon and rushed at the voodoo insect.

At the same time, Qin Lie ordered the three lifeblood essences.

The three drops of blood transformed into Fire Qilins that were several meters tall and surged with towering flames, shooting toward the voodoo insect as well.

Xie Jingxuan’s white clothes were completely stained in soil and dust, her white skin was just as filthy, and she hadn’t bathed in half a month. She had already lost her simple elegance, and instead she had grown more and more ruthless

Her combat power, however, had risen by several levels!

Even the two wooden sculptures she held exuded a terrifying might.

It was as if she knew how to manipulate their power!

Dazzling green divine light shot out of the two wooden sculptures like the blades of heavenly gods.

The light cut outward, seeming to actually contain a spatial energy that was capable of slashing through everything in this world.

Upon being cut apart by the dazzling green light, the wood spirit’s branches that were tightly wrapped around Ye Yihao broke like ropes.

Soon enough, Xie Jingxuan sheared away every tree branch that connected the wood spirit and Ye Yihao.

“Their souls have been separated! Qin Lie, get the Demon Sealing Tombstone out now!” Chu Li roared explosively. “The wood spirit’s soul is no longer connected to Ye Yihao’s, so it will not be able to resist the sealing powers of the Demon Sealing Tombstone!”

“Sha sha sha!”

All of the tree branches on the Tree God’s body twisted madly and resembled tens of thousands of strange snakes. Every single one of them wanted to reconnect with Ye Yihao’s body.

They wanted to rebuild the soul connection with Ye Yihao.

It was at this moment that, following Chu Li’s words, Qin Lie summoned the tombstone.

The tombstone floated into the sky the moment it appeared, the seven divine lights on its surface growing impossibly bright. Like seven rigid chains, they extended from the tombstone’s surface.

The seven divine lights were as long as a heavenly river and resembled chains that connected heaven and earth. They anchored themselves to the wood spirit’s huge body.

The wood spirit was nearly a hundred meters tall and several acres wide. It shrouded the sky and covered the land.

On the other hand, the seven divine lights were like the divine river deep within the blue dome of heaven. They stretched out and forcefully shackled the huge body of the wood spirit.

“Creek crack!”

The dazzling divine light and terrifying power radiating from these seven long chains made everyone tremble in shock.

“No!” Ye Yihao cried out in pain.

Although its roots were embedded deep underground, the wood spirit that resembled a ten thousand year old tree demon was shackled by the seven divine lights and uprooted.

It was being pulled toward the tombstone bit by bit!

The tombstone wasn’t large. In fact, from its position suspended above the giant tree, it looked like a tiny cloud in the sky.

Yet at this moment, the godly might and massive, unrivaled strength that it unleashed would inspire awe in anyone.

Just like how it had absorbed the body of the Fire Qilin, the seven divine lights that shot out of the Demon Sealing Tombstone wrapped around the wood spirit and slowly absorbed it into its surface.

Everyone raised their heads and looked toward the heavens. They were all watching the wood spirit slowly shrink until it completely disappeared within the Demon Sealing Tombstone.

The wood spirit of the Forbidden Land of Wood was sealed by the Demon Sealing Tombstone, just like what had happened to the fire spirit of the Land of Fire.

The branches that were heading over from every direction suddenly stopped moving after the wood spirit had been sealed.

It was as if they had just returned to normal.

“Follow me!” Ye Yihao’s cold voice rang out.

Thick clouds of voodoo toxin appeared where he stood, and the poisonous clouds swiftly spread to the surroundings.

Luo Chen, Chu Li, Xue Moyan, and everyone else that had gathered in the area hastily avoided the clouds in shock and fear.

On the other hand, Lin Dongxing, Su Yan, Xiahou Yan, and their men hastily entered the area shrouded in voodoo toxin, afraid that they would become targets of the people outside.

“I shall wait for you at the Land of Buried Gods!” Ye Yihao’s voice echoed from within the voodoo toxin.

The black voodoo toxin smoke that enveloped Ye Yihao and his people shifted under everyone’s gaze and swiftly retreated from the village.

Chu Li, Xue Moyan, and Luo Chen were unable to do anything and could only watch Ye Yihao leave.

They all knew how terrifying the voodoo toxin was, and no one dared to go into the voodoo toxin and fight Ye Yihao in it.

Although Qin Lie wasn’t afraid of the voodoo toxin, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could fight Ye Yihao and the elites of the three great families alone. Therefore, he also couldn’t do anything but watch them leave.

The seven divine lights returned to the tombstone and went quiet, and the blank tombstone suspended above Qin Lie’s head returned to its tranquil state once more.

Xie Jingxuan, eyes covered in black and white dots, watched the tombstone and how it sealed the wood spirit inside itself once more. It felt as if the soul fragments within her were finally able to rest in peace.

Traces of thin, grassy green smoke emerged from Xie Jingxuan’s eyes, nose, and ears before gradually vanishing into the world.

Her long lost soul seemed to have pushed away the clouds and finally seen the light of day again.

The black and white spots in her eyes slowly disappeared, and her gray dark eyes eventually regained their light.

“Jingxuan!” Song Tingyu softly cried out, hoping to awaken Xie Jingxuan and that she would regain her true self.

After a long moment, Xie Jinxuan suddenly exclaimed, “Sister Tingyu!”

She was surprised, as if she had just woken up from a deep, nightmare-plagued slumber.

……

Chapter 469: Difference in Opinion

The best news for Qin Lie was Xie Jingxuan’s awakening.

“Where did your wooden sculpture come from?” Qin Lie urgently asked as he walked over, his eyes shining.

The main reason he said yes to Li Mu and came to the Graveyard of Gods was the wooden sculpture.

He wanted to use the wooden sculpture to find news of his grandfather and learn more about his past.

“Wooden sculpture…”

Xie Jingxuan’s brow furrowed. She thought long and hard, then pointed at the desiccated body of a Wood Race clansman next to the stone well.

“Him?” Qin Lie’s gaze flashed.

Chu Li and the others also looked at the corpse of the Wood Race clansman.

This was a thin Wood Race clansman. His grayish brown skin was like the trunk of a rotten tree that had no light or signs of life.

It was clear that the wood spirit had sucked the blood and life energy from this Wood Race clansman and refined it into the Spring of Life.

He had been dead for many years.

After drinking from the unpurified Spring of Life and being controlled by the soul fragments of the Wood Race clansmen, Xie Jingxuan had taken the wooden sculpture from the Wood Race clansman’s body.

“What do you remember?” Qin Lie’s expression was serious.

“Let me think.” Xie Jingxuan rubbed her head and painfully tried to remember.

“Give her a bit of time,” Song Tingyu said in a soft, comforting voice.

Qin Lie nodded. He looked at Xie Jingxuan deeply and didn’t continue to press her.

At this time, everyone’s gazes gathered on the stone well and the Spring of Life within it.

The spring water of the Spring of Life gradually stopped boiling and bubbling. No more grass green smoke came out of it.

When the wood spirit was sealed by the Demon Sealing Tombstone, all the lingering souls of the Wood Race clansmen seemed to have been put to rest, gradually dissipating.

Within the stone well, the Spring of Life was no longer black and white. It seemed as though it had truly been purified.

Qin Lie looked down into the well.

Having been completely purified, more than half of the Spring of Life had disappeared.

The stone well was not deep.

Since the Spring of Life had been purified, the well water was clear, and Qin Lie could see to the bottom of it.

The stone well was actually very shallow. From the mouth of the well to its bottom, it was probably a little over a meter in distance. Rather than call it a well, it might have been more accurate to call it a large stone basin.

The purified Spring of Life was a clear dark green. There was only about a bucket of water at the bottom of the well.

This was significantly less than everyone had expected.

“The Spring of Life can replenish life energy. Not only does it aid cultivation and the refinement of the body, it can also bring someone back to life.” Chu Li’s eyes lit up.

“Just one bucketful of spring water from the Spring of Life.” Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed. He looked down and then suddenly said, “Heavenly Sword Mountain, Terminator Sect, and Illusory Demon Sect. The three of us have people here, so how are we to share it?”

“Sister Xue, is this the holy medicine you wanted to find?” Pan Qianqian asked. “Is it enough?”

Without a word, Xue Moyan’s calm eyes focused on the Spring of Life within the well.

“One kind of Spring of life is obtained from the sap of the Ancient Life Tree. That kind of Spring of Life is pure and contains great life energy.” Qin Lie suddenly interjected. “The other kind is a Spring of Life obtained by refining the blood essence of Wood Race clansmen. Even after being purified, the life energy contained this Spring of Life is not as dense and pure as the kind from the Ancient Life Tree.”

He looked at Xue Moyan.

Xue Moyan sighed.

This bucketful of spring water did not come from the Ancient Life Tree, and the amount of life energy it contained was limited. Even if all of it were given to her, it would only solve the problem for her and her mother.

The life force of her mother, Mo Lingye, was about to run out, and just like Xue Moyan, she needed enormous amounts of life energy to replenish it.

Since Xue Moyan had stayed inside of her mother’s body for too long, half of her lifespan had been prematurely used up and resulted in it being limited from birth.

She also needed a great amount of life energy in order to survive.

Yet this Spring of Life did not belong to her alone. Luo Chen, Chu Li, Du Xiangyang, He Wei, and the others knew just how rare and precious the Spring of Life was. Who would be willing to step aside and let her have it?

If everyone split it equally, each receiving a small portion of the Spring of Life, Xue Moyan would not have enough to save herself, much less her mother.

Just as everyone was heatedly discussing how to divvy up the Spring of Life, Xue Moyan gritted her teeth and said in a small voice, “I-I need the spring water of the Spring of Life to save my life. Can this spring water… be given to me?”

She wore a conflicted expression.

She knew that her request was outrageous, and according to fairness, she definitely could not have the spring water of this Spring of Life to herself.

The Spring of Life belonged to everyone here.

“Give all of it to you?”

Ren Peng of Terminator Sect had a part of his life force sucked away because of the voodoo toxin and had yet to recover.

He earnestly wanted to use the Spring of Life to replenish that life force and return to peak condition in preparation for future battles.

He Wei, Song Tingyu, the two martial practitioners of Terminator Sect, and even Pan Qianqian had been infected with the voodoo toxin.

Everyone that had been poisoned would have had their life energy sucked away by the Eight-winged Centipede Queen. It would be impossible to quickly replenish that energy.

Such a thing required a long period of time.

Spring water from the Spring of Life could shorten this recovery period and directly help them replenish the energy that was lost.

“We admit that you, Xue Moyan, also participated, and it is reasonable for you to take a portion of the spring water,” Another Terminator Sect martial practitioner said coldly. “Yet you want all of the spring water? All of it! You’re being too unreasonable!”

“For those of us that were afflicted with the voodoo toxin, the Spring of Life can quickly aid us in replenishing life energy. Life energy is not spirit power; it isn’t something we can recover using spirit stones. It’s the energy of the body—energy that takes a long time to recover!” Ren Peng snorted coldly. “You think you can just take all of it for yourself?”

“Let’s split the spring water based on the number of people,” He Wei suggested. “Wouldn’t that be reasonable?”

At this time, Terminator Sect had Chu Li, He Wei, and three other martial practitioners, making up five people in total.

They were the largest group. Luo Chen was only one person, and so was Du Xiangyang. If this were split based on number of people, it would undoubtedly benefit Terminator Sect the most.

As for Xue Moyan’s group, they had four people left including her. If this were split evenly between each person, they would not lose much.

Qin Lie had Song Tingyu and Xie Jingxuan. They were also three people and would not lose too much.

The true loser would be Luo Chen.

He Wei was protecting the gains of Terminator Sect, Qin Lie, and Xue Moyan. Her method of dividing the spring water based on the number of people was relatively fair.

She had also been infected with the voodoo toxin. She needed to get spring water from the Spring of Life for her, Song Tingyu, Ren Peng, and the others in order to recover.

“What do you say, Luo Chen?” Chu Li shouted.

“I want two extra shares of the spring water. Two of my people died here, but they also contributed!” Luo Chen snorted and said coldly, “I alone should count as three people. Otherwise, I will not lead you out of this forest!”

Everyone’s expressions darkened.

“Du Xiangyang!” Chu Li prompted.

Du Xiangyang casually shrugged. “I don’t have any objections. One part is fine, I wasn’t poisoned with the voodoo toxin and none of my friends were either.”

“How about you, Qin Lie?” Chu Li asked about Qin Lie’s opinion.

At this moment, after defeating the threat of Ye Yihao, Terminator Sect was the strongest group.

In Chu Li’s mind, he grouped Qin Lie, Song Tingyu, and Xie Jingxuan on his side. If their opinions were the same, he could ignore Luo Chen and Xue Moyan.

As a result, the opinion that he valued the most was Qin Lie’s.

In this period of time, Qin Lie’s actions had won Chu Li’s respect. Chu Li was a person that valued friendship and virtue, and he treated Qin Lie as a brother.

“I…” Qin Lie took a deep breath.

“Brother, why are you hesitating? What can we not say between us?” Chu Li was shocked.

Luo Chen, Du Xiangyang, and Xue Moyan’s groups all focused on Qin Lie.

They knew that, once Qin Lie and Chu Li expressed the same opinion, the division of the spring water from the Spring of Life would most likely be settled.

Terminator Sect had five people, Qin Lie had three, and Du Xiangyang was also on good terms with Qin Lie and He Wei, so he was definitely on their side.

Their forces were enough to fight against Luo Chen and the four people from Illusory Demon Sect.

“Big Brother Chu, I-I feel it would be best to give the spring water to Xue Moyan,” Qin Lie said.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked. Ren Peng and the other people from Terminator Sect immediately exploded and shouted.

“Why? Illusory Demon Sect did contribute, and it isn’t wrong to give them a share of the Spring of Life, but it definitely cannot be all of it!”

“We also had the voodoo toxin. We need the Spring of Life to replenish our life energy! Why should we give all of it to them?”

“Qin Lie, is something wrong with your head?” He Wei also shouted.

Terminator Sect’s people weren’t the only ones who were in astonished.

The people of Illusory Demon Sect were even more shocked. Xue Moyan covered her mouth with her hand as she looked at Qin Lie in disbelief.

She never imagined that Qin Lie would say such a thing. Was Qin Lie actually in favor of giving all of the Spring of Life to her?

Even she thought that she heard wrong.

Before all of this, she hadn’t known Qin Lie at all. Before entering the Graveyard of Gods, she had studied every force and their participants. As far as she could remember, Qin Lie hadn’t been one of them.

The first time she encountered Qin Lie was when two of her Illusory Demon Sect sisters had been controlled by the voodoo insects and Qin Lie had burned them to death. She had wrongly assumed that Qin Lie was a monster and took Pan Qianqian along to pursue and kill him.

Considering that debacle, it was already good enough news that Qin Lie hadn’t teamed up with Chu Li to take the share of the Spring of Life that belonged to Illusory Demon Sect.

She never would have dreamed that Qin Lie wouldn’t be against them, but he even favored giving the Spring of Life to them!

Xue Moyan couldn’t believe that what she heard was true.

“Brother Qin, I know that Miss Xue is very beautiful, but isn’t it outrageous for you to hold beauty above friendship and disregard our troubles just to win her favor?” Terminator Sect’s Ren Peng mockingly asked.

He only thought that Qin Lie was trying to garner her favor because she was beautiful. He couldn’t think of any other reason why Qin Lie would help Xue Moyan.

The moment he said this, the expressions of Terminator Sect’s people, and those of Luo Chen, Du Xiangyang, He Wei, and the people of Illusory Demon Sect grew strange

They examined Qin Lie and Xue Moyan with peculiar gazes.

People even thought, “Isn’t Song Tingyu clearly right next to them?”

Then all of them felt scorn.

Chapter 470: Beauty Over Friendship?

Aside from those who knew the truth, other people thought that Qin Lie said to give the water from the Spring of Life to Xue Moyan to gain her favor.

This made Ren Peng and the others to feel scorn toward him.

Qin Lie’s decision would damage their benefits. If all of the spring water were given to Xue Moyan, it would take a long time to recover the life energy they lost.

As a result, their bodies would not be in peak condition that entire time.

Xue Moyan and the other women of Illusory Demon Sect didn’t know the truth. They didn’t know that Qin Lie was just doing this for Xue Li and helping Xue Moyan whenever he could.

“Sister Xue, this Qin Lie… is most likely pursuing you,” Huang Zhuli said in a small voice.

Her voice was quiet, but in the abrupt silence, many people still heard what she said.

Pan Qianqian and another of the Illusory Demon Sect women agreed, nodding as though it were true.

They didn’t think that Qin Lie was deeply in love. Instead, they actually thought that Qin Lie was shameless… because Song Tingyu was right next to him!

“I misjudged him…” Pan Qianqian thought.

Previously, in order to help the poisoned Song Tingyu, Qin Lie fearlessly charged into the area shrouded in voodoo toxin to fight the voodoo insect. He had had refined the voodoo insect to cut off its eight wings and get the blood drop antidote.

At that time, the Illusory Demon Sect women felt moved.

They had thought that Qin Lie was a faithful lover and felt that, even if Song Tingyu died, it would be worth it to have such a man willing to risk his life for her.

Qin Lie’s previous actions had won all of them over.

Now, however…

Pan Qianqian shook her head. When she looked at Qin Lie again, she felt an unspeakable disgust.

“Tingyu! You should control him!” He Wei shouted. “No men are good. I finally understand that now!”

She hatefully glared at Chu Li.

Chu Li innocently spread his hands with a wry grimace.

“I’m on his side.” Song Tingyu covered her mouth and laughed freely as though she didn’t care. She embraced Qin Lie’s arm, appearing docile and seductive. “Even if he wants three wives and four concubines, I will accept it.”

The men were dumbstruck.

“Qin Lie, I really, truly respect you!” Du Xiangyan gave a thumbs up and said, “You are great!”

The women of Illusory Demon Sect were all astonished by Song Tingyu’s response.

He Wei’s face twisted. She stomped her foot and scolded, “Tingyu, are you stupid as well?”

“Regardless of what he does, it is always right in my eyes,” Song Tingyu said with a smile.

Qin Lie felt completely at ease.

Song Tingyu knew Xue Moyan’s identity and that she needed the Spring of Life more than any other person. However… she had been poisoned too and lost a portion of her life energy as well.

She didn’t have any connection to Xue Moyan.

Yet, at this moment, she could ignore her own needs and stand by his side without hesitation.

She knew that Xue Moyan’s origin as someone of Blood Fiend Sect was sensitive, so she helped hide it. She pretended to be the stupidest woman who unconditionally trusted him…

“Big Brother Chu, can you give me some face?” Qin Lie asked seriously.

“Chu Li!” He Wei screamed.

“Senior Brother!” Ren Peng shouted.

The Terminator Sect martial practitioners were alarmed.

Chu Li thought that Xue Moyan was Qin Lie’s fiancée. He had learned early on through Xue Moyan and Ye Yihao’s exchange that the holy medicine she had worked so hard to find was the Spring of Life.

He also guessed that Xue Moyan had a reason for needing to obtain the Spring of Life.

“Loss of life energy cannot be recovered in moments—it requires time.” Chu Li paused and looked at He Wei, Ren Peng, and the others as he said seriously, “But at least one can recover! If you are infected by the voodoo toxin, your death is certain! Ren Peng, He Wei, both of you were poisoned. The reason you are alive is because Qin Lie risked his life to go into the area shrouded in voodoo toxin and get the blood of the voodoo insect for you!”

Chu Li inhaled deeply, snorted, and said, “All of you owe Qin Lie your lives!”

When those words were said, He Wei, Ren Peng, and the other two Terminator Sect martial practitioners immediately went silent, their expressions full of guilt.

“Think of it as paying Qin Lie what you owe him!” Chu Li shouted.

He Wei and the others were reluctant, but after Chu Li expressed his opinion, they could only keep silent.

This could be considered agreeing with this.

Qin Lie looked at Du Xiangyang. “I will give you ten Heavenly Flame Crystals!”

Du Xiangyang naturally understood the meaning of Qin Lie’s words. Du Xiangyang nodded with a grin and said, “I love helping others! Using all of the Spring of Life to win a woman’s favor… haha, Qin Lie, you’re amazing! I bow to you, I really bow! Your woman didn’t even say a thing, so what can I say?”

Qin Lie also nodded.

Without another word, Qin Lie took ten Heavenly Flame Crystals out of his spatial ring and tossed them to Du Xiangyang.

After receiving them, Du Xiangyang’s smile became even happier. “Haha, I respect you even more.”

Finally, Qin Lie looked at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen smiled coldly. “I’m not so easy to appease!”

“I’ll owe you a favor!” Qin Lie said with a frown.

“A favor isn’t enough!” Luo Chen said with a cold snort. “I don’t believe that you are asking everyone to give up the Spring of Life just to gain her favor. A reason! I need an actual reason!”

Xue Moyan, standing at the other side of the village, looked at him as she spoke. “I also need a reason. I don’t want to owe you, and I don’t believe that I am worthy of you doing so much for me…”

She thinking the same thing as Luo Chen. She also didn’t believe that Qin Lie was asking everyone to give up the Spring of Life and help her just because of her beauty.

The time that she and Qin Lie had known each other was very short.

However, she was almost certain that a person who could be extremely cruel and insane to themselves would not be so amazing as to do everything to help a stranger just for her beauty.

That was not realistic.

“What do you want?” She asked again.

She thought that, in doing this, Qin Lie had something to ask of her or Illusory Demon Sect.

What do you want?

Many other people, such as He Wei, Du Xiangyang, and Luo Chen, were thinking this as well. They all looked at Qin Lie.

“You will know why in the future,” Qin Lie said calmly.

“Our cooperation ends now!” Luo Chen looked over coldly. Seeing that Qin Lie did not intend to explain, he nodded and turned to leave.

He naturally would not guide them any longer.

“Let’s go, Chu Li.” He Wei snorted.

“Go? Go where? Wait for Qin Lie!” Chu Li said in bewilderment.

He had not detected He Wei’s anger.

“If you don’t go, we’ll go!” He Wei glared at him. “The wood spirit is sealed and Ye Yihao is no longer a threat. What are you doing with this fellow that puts beauty above friendship? Chu Li, decide for yourself. Are you going to be with him or me?”

After making this declaration, He Wei turned and walked out of the village without looking back.

“Senior Brother!” Ren Peng and the others also started to urge him.

Just as they saw that they could use the Spring of Life to replenish their life energy, Qin Lie interfered. As a result, they had to completely give up on the Spring of Life.

After this, they bore ill will toward Qin Lie. It was difficult to pretend that nothing had happened, and it was hard to continue traveling together.

Chu Li also saw the division between them and Qin Lie. He knew that He Wei was still unhappy with what Qin Lie did and didn’t want to stay with Qin Lie.

“Brother, this…” He looked at Qin Lie with a conflicted expression.

“Big Brother Chu, go. I understand. This matter is my problem, I apologize.” Qin Lie grimaced.

“Let’s split up for now and wait for He Wei’s anger subside before meeting up again.” Chu Li scratched his head, was slightly embarrassed. “Women have to be talked to. Give me some time.”

“Go.” Qin Lie smiled honestly.

So Chu Li led Ren Peng and the two other Terminator Sect martial practitioners to split from Qin Lie and hurried to find He Wei.

He was worried that He Wei would be in danger on her own.

“How about you, Brother Du?” Qin Lie asked.

“Ha! If you don’t mind, how about I come with you?” Du Xiangyang smiled.

“My pleasure!” Qin Lie nodded joyfully.

Song Tingyu stood by Qin Lie’s side with a determined smile.

Xie Jingxuan’s eyes were still closed as she focused on thinking back to her previous experiences. She hadn’t paid any attention to what had just occurred.

Xue Moyan stood by the mouth of the well. Before she moved to take the spring water from the Spring of Life, she asked again, “Many people have left. Now can you tell me the reason why?”

“You will know in the future.” Qin Lie smiled, waved his hand, then left.

He was afraid that Xue Moyan would keep asking and he would still be unable to answer. He was afraid that he would expose Xue Moyan’s identity as a survivor of Blood Fiend Sect.
