Chapter 122: Treating Qi Lian

Xie Qijun smiled, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting, as he quietly listened to Lin Xian'er's inner voice. He muttered to himself, "Master is being naughty again. How adorable."

At this time, Xu Feng beside him said worriedly, "Junior Sister, there is actually a demon seed hidden in her body. This is really a tricky matter."

Xu Feng frowned and continued to explain in a heavy tone, "You have to know that things like demon seeds are extremely difficult to deal with, and demon cultivators who can deal with them are not only difficult to find, but even if they are found, they probably won't easily help."

Hearing this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but pout, feeling a little conflicted. She didn't want to expose Xie Qijun's demon cultivation, but the situation was urgent, and without his help, it seemed difficult to solve this problem.

Just as she stood there, hesitant and unsure whether to speak, Xie Qijun suddenly spoke loudly, as if he had already seen through everything, "Second Master, please rest assured. There is no need to worry about this matter. I have my own way to successfully remove that terrible demon seed."

These sudden words were like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears, shocking everyone present.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Feng and Lin Xian'er almost simultaneously cast surprised glances at Xie Qijun.

Xu Feng's face was filled with suspicion, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Just you? You actually said you could do such a thing? Where on earth do you get this confidence and ability from?"

However, before Xie Qijun could reply, Xu Feng seemed to understand something. His expression darkened, and he roared angrily, "Could it be that... could it be that you've cultivated a demonic spirit? You bastard, how can you be worthy of your master who taught you so carefully? And how can you be worthy of our entire sect?"

Seeing that Second Senior Brother was getting more and more angry and emotional, Lin Xian'er became very anxious, fearing that the situation would get out of control.

Without hesitation, she rushed to Xie Qijun and shielded him with her arms. Then, anxiously, she called out to Xu Feng, "Second Brother, don't be angry. This isn't as simple as you think. Let's first find a way to resolve Qi Lian's issue. As for the rest, I'll explain everything else to you in detail later."

Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh heavily. He wondered to himself, how could his usually bright and clever little sister be so clueless now? If word got out about Xie Qijun's demonic cultivation, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar. All the blame would be directed at Xie Qijun, and he might even be attacked by the whole group. And as the little sister of Xie Qijun's master, she naturally couldn't escape the consequences; she couldn't remain unscathed.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng's eyes gradually became sharp, and he secretly made up his mind: Why not take advantage of the fact that no one except the people here has noticed it yet, and just kill Xie Qijun directly, so as to avoid causing endless trouble to my junior sister in the future.

As for the others present, he was considering whether to use poison to control them so as to prevent them from talking nonsense, but the safest option was to kill them with a single knife. Alas, it was a pity to waste the divine blood. He didn't have time to observe the subsequent situation clearly. "Junior Sister, I will talk to you alone later."

"Hmm..." Lin Xian'er nodded hurriedly, a clear plan already in mind. The most urgent task was to properly handle Qi Lian's situation. Only then would she have the time to explain the whole story to Second Senior Brother, making sure to appeal to his feelings and reason.

As for the other insignificant people, don't accuse her of being cold-blooded. Just now, she had quietly instructed the system to place these people under a confinement spell. This way, even if they wanted to reveal the matter to outsiders, it would be impossible. The mere mention of it would instantly cause them to experience a splitting headache, as if millions of ants were gnawing at their bodies.

She didn't want to be besieged, and she also wanted to protect herself.

In such a tense and orderly atmosphere, everyone quickly packed up and organized the necessary items.

Before long, the once crowded room was reduced to just four people: Luo Kun, Lin Xian'er, Xu Feng, and Xie Qijun. In reality, the actual operations were primarily handled by these three, with Lin Xian'er staying behind as a precaution in case of any unexpected situations.

At this time, Qi Lian was leaning quietly on the bed, looking pale and weak.

After a brief discussion, Luo Kun and Xie Qijun finally made up their minds and took action.

Although it is not difficult for them to take out the heart-eating poison or the demon seed separately, the most critical point is that they must take out both of them at the same time, and this requires extremely strict and precise control of time. Any slight mistake may lead to all the efforts being wasted.

Luo Kun, his face solemn, reached into his storage bag and groped carefully. After a moment, he finally pulled out a delicate little box. Opening the lid, a tiny, cyan insect emitting a faint glow appeared before everyone.

The little insect seemed to sense the presence of the outside world and began to slowly crawl out of the box. Luo Kun watched its every move intently, muttering to himself as if he were conducting some kind of mysterious communication with the insect.

Following Luo Kun's command, the insect followed the direction of his finger and slowly crawled towards Qi Lian's hand.

Qi Lian widened his eyes and looked nervously at the poisonous insect that was gradually approaching him, but he did not dare to move at all.

Just as the insect was about to reach Qi Lian's palm, Luo Kun suddenly struck with lightning speed. A flash of cold light flashed in his hand, instantly slicing a shallow gash on Qi Lian's wrist. Almost at the same time, the insect flew in without hesitation, disappearing into the wound in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stared at Qi Lian's arm intently, watching the insect slowly but surely crawl along the veins towards his heart. As time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Not long after, Qi Lian's face suddenly changed drastically and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Feng, standing by, reacted quickly. He quickly stepped forward, his hands dancing like a phantom. In a blink of an eye, several slender silver needles had precisely penetrated the acupuncture points around Qi Lian's wrist. These silver needles, like a magic needle, temporarily stabilized the situation and prevented the Gu worm from running wild.

Afterwards, everyone discovered that two lumps of different sizes had appeared on Qi Lian's arms. They were wriggling constantly like living things.

Seeing the two small bags gradually approaching his wrist, Luo Kun knew that the critical moment had arrived, and quickly winked at Xie Qijun beside him.
