Chapter 188 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 37
Li Lang did notice her, but he didn't save her.
The infiltrator was a highly skilled demonic cultivator, and he was struggling to deal with just one. Seeing that the other demonic cultivators were also about to make their move, he wanted to finish the battle quickly.
He realized that even with all his treasures, he couldn't win, so he decisively chose to run away.
With the help of the magical artifacts and talismans on his body, Li Lang broke through the barrier in one fell swoop and disappeared in a flash.
He needs to notify the people of the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
Although he and Immortal Venerable Yunze were rivals in love, he still knew right from wrong.
As the number one immortal sect in the cultivation world, if something happens to the Liuyun Immortal Sect, it will certainly not be a small matter, and it may affect the entire cultivation world.
Lin Yao'er never expected that the person who had previously stood up for her would now turn a blind eye to her suffering.
Her earlier struggles had already angered the demonic cultivators, and Li Lang's escape only fueled their rage, making Lin Yao'er the target of their anger.
Without saying a word, the demonic cultivator broke both of her arms.
Before Lin Yao'er fainted from the pain, she was filled with resentment. She hated Li Lang for not saving her, and she also hated Zong Yunze and the Black Dragon for neglecting her, which led to her falling into the hands of the cruel demonic cultivators.
The Left Envoy said in a deep voice, "That kid has escaped, and our whereabouts have been exposed. I'm afraid we have no choice but to force our way in. Notify the people outside to attack the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect and buy us some time."
Some of the other demonic cultivators were having second thoughts. "Left Envoy, why don't we abandon this plan? Zong Yunze is in Yucheng; he'll be back soon after receiving the news. We..."
"Shut up!"
The Left Envoy's murderous gaze swept over the group. "Do you think we'll be safe just because we abandon this plan? Since the Lord was sealed away and that person took over, how many of the Lord's old subordinates are left?"
"That person wants to exterminate them all!"
"If we can't rescue our Lord, how long do you think you can live? We have no other choice!"
The other demonic cultivators fell silent.
The traitor who appeared during their operation was one of the new lord's men, which attracted the attention of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect before they even took action. Under the patrol of the black dragon and the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect, they had already lost several brothers.
That new ruler is petty and narrow-minded; he would never let those who once served him go!
They were well aware of how dangerous it was to come to the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect to rescue people, but only by rescuing their Lord could they possibly return to their former glory.
Instead of living like this, having to keep a low profile and risk losing your life at any moment.
Thinking about how difficult things had become in recent years, the demonic cultivators gritted their teeth and decided to fight!
However, they clearly overestimated their own fighting strength.
Yun Qing and Zong Yunze had been in Yucheng for the past few days, and it didn't take them long to return after receiving the news.
When they returned, the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect had already brought the situation under control.
There were only a few demonic cultivators left who attacked the Liuyun Immortal Sect, and the few who were responsible for rescuing the Great Demon King were trapped in the formation outside the forbidden area before they even reached it.
Knowing that the situation was hopeless, some of the demonic cultivators stopped struggling, feeling that dying in the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect was better than dying at the hands of that new Venerable Master. At least they wouldn't be cruelly tortured and their deaths wouldn't be so painful.
Some, however, did not want to die; they were both irritable and fearful.
At this time, Lin Yao'er, who was with them, naturally became the target of their fear.
The demonic cultivator deliberately lifted the silencing spell on her, causing her to scream in agony, attempting to use her as a hostage to gain a chance at survival.
The demonic cultivator's voice was hoarse and cruel, "The Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect prides itself on being righteous. Surely they wouldn't just stand by and watch a defenseless mortal die, would they? Let us go! Otherwise, I'll make her wish she were dead!"
Lin Yao'er was tortured until she was covered in blood, and all the bones in her limbs were broken and limply attached to her body.
She started screaming in agony, but now she can't even scream anymore. She's barely breathing and is on the verge of death.
The demonic cultivator tormenting her, fearing she would die, fed her a pill, which did not lessen her pain in the slightest, yet she could not die no matter what.
Outside the formation, the people of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect were divided.
Some people think that letting these demonic cultivators go will kill more people, and even if people want to be saved, there are other ways.
Moreover, these demonic cultivators brought Lin Yao'er here silently, so Lin Yao'er must have been helping them.
Who knows if she was completely forced or if she was in cahoots with the demonic cultivators?
Lin Yao'er was once a disciple of Immortal Venerable Yunze, but was expelled from the sect for making a mistake. Perhaps she harbors resentment towards Liuyun Immortal Sect?
The torture inflicted on her by the demonic cultivators does nothing to prove her innocence. Isn't it normal for demonic cultivators to go back on their word? Besides, this is a matter of life and death; the demonic cultivators don't care whether someone is a partner or not!
However, some people felt that the methods of demonic cultivators were too cruel, and that dragging it out like this would cause Lin Yao'er too much pain.
The demonic cultivators wouldn't give them a chance to rescue Lin Yao'er; if they didn't let them go, they could kill Lin Yao'er at any time.
Moreover, it cannot be proven that Lin Yao'er and the demonic cultivators are in cahoots. She is just a mortal now, and she has no way to resist the demonic cultivators' coercion. Perhaps she knew that the forbidden area was dangerous and that the demonic cultivators could not break in, so she compromised and led the way?
Lin Yao'er didn't want to die, nor did she want to continue suffering. She struggled to make a sound, "Child...child..."
Although she loathed the bastard child in her womb and had no intention of keeping it, at this moment, the child could evoke more compassion in a person.
Sure enough, after learning that Lin Yao'er was pregnant, those who opposed releasing the demonic cultivator were no longer so resolute. After all, there were now two lives at stake, and the child was innocent.
The demonic cultivator glanced at the blood-soaked Lin Yao'er, paused for a moment, and then cruelly laughed, "Have you thought this through? I'll count to three. If you don't let us go, I'll kick the child out of her belly first!"
Yun Qing and Zong Yunze arrived just in time to hear this.
Yun Qing was somewhat surprised to see Lin Yao'er covered in blood.
Previously, they only knew that demonic cultivators had trespassed into the forbidden area, but they did not know that Lin Yao'er had fallen into the hands of demonic cultivators.
Zong Yunze's appearance made the demonic cultivators even more panicked. They grabbed Lin Yao'er tightly and even choked her neck.
"Let us go now! Otherwise, I'll kill her right now, killing her and her unborn child!"
Li Lang had previously felt that it was inappropriate for an outsider like himself to approach the forbidden area of the Liuyun Immortal Sect, so he had been helping to deal with the demonic cultivators attacking the Liuyun Immortal Sect from the outside.
Upon seeing Yun Qing, he couldn't help but follow her and Zong Yunze. Seeing that Zong Yunze didn't stop him, he came along as well.
Looking at Lin Yao'er's miserable state, he suddenly asked, "Her child is gone, isn't it?"
The doctor once said that Lin Yao'er was weak and needed careful recuperation, otherwise the baby would easily be lost. Now that Lin Yao'er has been tormented like this, how can the baby be safe and sound?
Upon hearing Li Lang's words, the demonic cultivator tightened his grip on Lin Yao'er's neck, causing Lin Yao'er's expression to become even more pained.
When Li Lang suddenly exposed this, not only were the demonic cultivators afraid, but Lin Yao'er was also afraid. She was afraid that without a child, these people would really not save her.
She struggled to open her eyes and looked at Zong Yunze with pleading in them. She knew that Zong Yunze could definitely save her!
The demonic cultivator roared impatiently, "Say one more word and I'll kill her!"
Zong Yunze's expression was cold and indifferent; he seemed neither worried nor in a hurry. He slowly said, "Then kill him."
Demonic Cultivator: ...
Zong Yunze's attitude left the demonic cultivators somewhat bewildered.
Has he completely abandoned all sense of righteousness? He actually dared to directly ask him to kill?
