“The little girl who never wakes up. What’s that about?”
Zhang Yangzhou smiled sadly. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he spat out a large mouthful. “What’s that about? F*ckyou!”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. It wasn’t that he felt that he had been scolded, but that Zhang Yangzhou actually didn’t say that he was a genius seed and that you actually treated me like this. Instead, he acted like a dead pig that wasn’t afraid of boiling water. He admitted defeat when he fell into the enemy’s hands, as if he completely accepted the fact that he had broken his arms and legs.
This att.i.tude… was a little troublesome.
Lin Yan’s expression turned cold. “Your hands and feet have just been broken. If you use force to connect them, and…”
“Pui! Don’t f*cking waste your energy! If you want to get information from me, in your next life!”
Zhang Yangzhou suddenly had a determined expression as all his strength surged. Lin Yan’s expression changed. This guy was planning to commit suicide with his strength!
He couldn’t stop the man at all. In a moment of desperation, Lin Yan shouted, “Don’t you want to know the whereabouts of that little girl who can’t wake up?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yangzhou’s surging force paused slightly. Lin Yan instantly pounced forward and struck ten times in a row, sending his force into the ten apertures in Zhang Yangzhou’s body to disperse the force he had gathered.
However, Lin Yan frowned even more. Using this method could only temporarily stop Zhang Yangzhou’s control of his strength. It could not last long.
Zhang Yangzhou obviously knew this too. He laughed wildly and said, “It’s useless! It’s useless! Tell me, is that little girl dead or alive!”
Lin Yan raised his wrist slightly, as if raising a wisp of dust.
Then, he slowly walked back and sat down. He narrowed his eyes. “You’re not even afraid of death. Why do you have to know the whereabouts of that little girl?”
Zhang Yangzhou spat again. “Idiot! You still want to get information from me?”
Lin Yan was unmoved. “In that case, I’ll tell you… that little girl is already dead!”
Zhang Yangzhou’s expression was obviously nervous, and a dense worry appeared on his pale face. It was unknown if he was worried about Xiaozhi or something else.
Then, he was stunned and glared at Lin Yan. “You lied to me! You must be lying to me!”
Lin Yan carefully memorized the changes in his expression and said mercilessly, “Why would I lie to you? I saw that little girl die with my own eyes.”
“You’re lying to me! You don’t know her at all! You don’t know her!” Zhang Yangzhou was even more furious.
“I destroyed a gang called the Black Tiger Gang and obtained the Thunder Token and the information from it. By chance, I found that little girl.”
Zhang Yangzhou’s face turned pale. “The last hope, the last hope… No! No! You’re lying to me! You’re lying to me!”
Lin Yan slowly felt joy in his heart. Zhang Yangzhou finally revealed some information. His expression did not change as he continued, “You don’t believe me? I can tell you the specific illness of that little girl.
“Before she died, her entire body was covered in jade scars. Her entire body turned into jade. In the end, she accidentally fell off the bed and was shattered into pieces. I’ve never seen such a strange illness in my life…”
However, the more Lin Yan spoke, the more his eyes darkened. This was because Zhang Yangzhou’s expression slowly changed from despair and pain to extreme ecstasy.
“You said that the little girl has transformed into jade? Hahahaha! Success? Success! This batch has really succeeded… Hope, our hope, our Dao will not die, our Dao will not die!”
Lin Yan’s expression did not change. He could not wait for Zhang Yangzhou to say more. He continued, “Is this the hope you mentioned? A shattered jade statue?”
A strange and mocking expression appeared on Zhang Yangzhou’s face. “That’s it. Continue lying to me!”
Lin Yan was expressionless. “How did I lie to you?”
“The jade statue transformed from the G.o.ddess is indestructible. Fire and water can’t break it. Only time can make it wither and die. Shattered by mistake? Even if you and 1 attack with all our strength, it won’t be damaged at all!”
“So that’s how it is…”
So there was a flaw in this lie. G.o.ddess, they called Xiaozhi G.o.ddess. Indeed, Xiaozhi was related to the statue in the G.o.ddess Temple that they had seen before!
“So, even if that little girl turned into a jade statue, she didn’t die?”
Zhang Yangzhou revealed a mocking expression. “Even if you die, she won’t die!”
“Then how do we save her?”
“Save? Save who? Who saves who!” Zhang Yangzhou was suddenly stunned and laughed wildly. “I understand! I understand! You know that little girl! You want to save her! Are you her friend? No, her family?!”
Lin Yan revealed a flaw in his expression at the right time, allowing Zhang Yangzhou to see the relationship between him and Xiaozhi.
As if he had seen something extremely ridiculous, Zhang Yangzhou laughed until tears were about to flow. “You’re actually family with them? You even want to save them?
“Hahahaha!
“The vessel of the demons, the divine weapon that determines victory. You’re actually arrogant enough to want to save these demons?!”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. Zhang Yangzhou gradually started to speak incoherently, but Lin Yan acutely heard him say the words “they” and “those” twice.
Could it be that there was more than one person like Xiaozhi?
Suddenly, Zhang Yangzhou’s laughter stopped. Extreme despair and fear gradually surfaced on his face. “What did you do to me!”
He suddenly realized that he had unknowingly leaked countless pieces of information just now.
Lin Yan raised his hand, and there was a handful of white ash-like powder in his palm. “It’s a powder ground from a highly hallucinogenic mushroom after drying. Logically speaking, it’s useless to you. It’s just that you were too injured and had too many wounds, so you fell for it.”
The powder made from dried mushrooms was used by Lin Yan to recover his blood energy. During this period of time, he often entered the mountains and tasted all kinds of herbs. He realized that this mushroom was extremely poisonous and was relatively easy to pick. Therefore, he specially asked the villagers of Ji Village to help pick some and dry them and grind them into powder for recovery.
Unexpectedly, it happened to be effective on Zhang Yangzhou.
Zhang Yangzhou’s entire body trembled. He was clearly in extreme fear, but this fear was definitely not a fear of personal safety. After all, he was not even afraid of death.
This was a deeper fear of some desperate reality and doing something wrong.
He said with a trembling voice, “You, have you transplanted the Spirit Marrow?!”
Lin Yan frowned slightly, not knowing why he suddenly asked this. He said patiently, “No.”
Zhang Yangzhou heaved a long sigh of relief and was covered in sweat. “I, I beg you! Lin Yan! I beg you! Don’t leak what I said. I beg you to keep it a secret for me!”
Zhang Yangzhou’s eyes were filled with tears, but it was not fear of death or the pa.s.sing of life. Instead, it was an even deeper and more inexplicable emotion that Lin Yan could not understand.
Before this man died, he was actually not afraid of death, but was afraid of his secret being leaked?
It made Lin Yan think of Guo Fan for no reason.
“I can promise you, but you have to answer a few questions. What exactly is the G.o.ddess? How can she return to normal? Who are you? What is your goal?!”
However, Zhang Yangzhou suddenly looked enlightened. The fear on his face slowly disappeared, and he laughed until tears flowed. He looked at Lin Yan. “1 understand. She’s really your family. You want to save her! Hahaha, you’ll help me keep it a secret, right?
“You don’t want anything to happen to her either!
“Our Dao won’t die, our Dao won’t die…
“Remember! Don’t plant the Spirit Marrow! Absolutely not!”
Lin Yan’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. Not good!
His figure instantly flashed to Zhang Yangzhou’s side.
However, Zhang Yangzhou’s face was already filled with extreme determination. As his force surged, his heart meridians, muscles, and bones were broken.
“You…”
Lin Yan clenched his fists and his aura slowly dissipated.
Zhang Yangzhou revealed a brilliant expression of relief. He looked into the distance with misty eyes and tears in his eyes. “Master, we will succeed, right? I believe, 1 believe…”
His head drooped and stopped moving.
Lin Yan touched his neck and sighed slightly. He was deader than dead.
“Who is Zhang Yangzhou? What are they doing? Xiaozhi… What is she?!”
Lin Yan recalled what Zhang Yangzhou had said about the “vessel of demons and the weapon for victory”. Could it be that Xiaozhi was carrying some kind of mission and responsibility?
There was also the Spirit Marrow. Before Guo Fan and Zhang Yangzhou died, they were both warning him not to use it.
However, Lin Yan carefully observed Tai Qian, Xia Tang, and the others. They had used the Spirit Marrow. Other than the rapid increase in their strength and apt.i.tude, he couldn’t see any side effects or problems.
What was hidden about the Spirit Marrow?
