"Tian Zun!"
As Ling Feng arrived at the mountain god temple, Yang Fei also returned with his men.
Beside them, the white-haired village chief had gone limp, sitting on the ground with drool pooling around him, clearly terrified.
"They didn't touch that bronze coffin, did they?"
Ling Feng asked unhurriedly.
Yang Fei immediately replied, "No, I stopped anyone who tried.
He added, "Later, they received news from the other two villages. Seeing those people, infected with corpse poison and acting like zombies, they were so scared they fled back to the mountain god temple."
The surrounding chatter helped the white-haired village chief regain some semblance of awareness. He slowly looked around.
When he saw Lin Shuai Nan, his dazed eyes suddenly lit up, and he struggled to get up and move towards him.
"Immortal Master Lin, Lin..."
"Scram!"
Lin Shuai Nan roared, startling the white-haired village chief, who promptly fell back onto the ground.
"If my elder brother hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you today, you old bastard. You're a wicked old man, daring to lead people to dig out these monsters. If my elder brother hadn't decisively gone to save them, you all would be dead by now!"
Although Lin Shuai Nan's movements were restricted, his words were anything but restrained.
If Ling Feng hadn't intervened, Lin Shuai Nan would have loved to deliver a kick.
Elder brother?
The village chief was filled with confusion, but seeing Lin Shuai Nan's furious expression, he instinctively curled up.
He was genuinely afraid Lin Shuai Nan would beat him.
After all, this was his own doing.
If he hadn't been suspicious of Lin Shuai Nan and acted on his own, the current situation wouldn't have arisen.
"Immortal Master Lin, we know we were wrong! Please don't abandon us! Immortal Master Lin, save us! We don't want to die!"
"Save us..."
Outside the temple, thousands of people knelt before the mountain god temple, confessing loudly, with faint sounds of weeping mixed in.
Some continuously kowtowed.
The scene was indeed tragic.
However, a pitiable person often has hateful aspects.
Looking at Xiu Xiu, who was still unconscious in his arms and her complexion growing increasingly pale, Lin Shuai Nan was filled with extreme anger.
If he could, he truly wished to beat these people until their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
But seeing the terrified women and children among the crowd, Lin Shuai Nan could only channel all his anger into a fist, smashing it onto the ground.
*Bang!*
A large pit was created in the ground.
Instantly, the mountain god temple fell silent, utterly quiet.
The villagers exchanged glances, forgetting to cry out.
"As long as you obey now, no matter what kind of zombies they are, I, this Immortal Master, will definitely help you resolve them!"
While the villagers were still in shock, Lin Shuai Nan said through gritted teeth.
A single sentence was enough to boost morale.
The villagers snapped out of their fright, followed by a chorus of increasingly loud thanks.
With this reassurance, the villagers felt much more at ease.
Lin Shuai Nan felt stifled, his anger still simmering.
With a cold snort, he turned and entered the mountain god temple.
Otherwise, he feared he wouldn't be able to control his fists.
Ling Feng nodded slightly.
Lin Shuai Nan was not a heartless person; his inherent kindness would not allow him to disregard human lives.
Although these people had made many mistakes, they also possessed the right to survive.
In the end, they were merely pitiable victims.
"Tian Zun, the unnamed girl's injuries are very serious. The wounds have started to fester, and after the Saintess touched her, she also showed signs of poisoning!"
Yang Fei reported solemnly.
Of course, he wasn't urging Ling Feng to save her quickly, but rather reminding Ling Feng that the mysterious girl was currently very dangerous and it would be best not to come into contact with her easily.
"It's fine! Don't let anyone come in and cause trouble!"
"Yes, your subordinate obeys!"
Looking at Ling Feng's retreating back, Yang Fei sighed softly.
He knew his boss wouldn't listen to him.
The villagers had witnessed Yang Fei's prowess before. Seeing him with a cold expression, exuding an aura of unapproachability, they instinctively kept their distance.
"The skin wounds are festering rapidly. She took a pill herself earlier and then fell completely unconscious!"
Ji Yun Yue informed Ling Feng as soon as he returned.
Ling Feng crouched down to examine the mysterious girl's wounds, shaking his head with a heavy expression.
"Her chances of survival are very slim now. The medicine she took can protect her brain, but her heart has already been infected by the corpse poison. She won't last long."
Ling Feng said sternly.
Ji Yun Yue's face turned ashen, and she couldn't help but press, "Is there no way to cure her? Aren't you a witch doctor?"
She then looked at Guan Ya beside them.
Seeing the Saintess's hopeful gaze, Guan Ya could only shake his head helplessly.
His abilities were truly limited, and he had no confidence in saving her.
Ling Feng didn't answer Ji Yun Yue immediately. Instead, he gently touched her finger.
Her finger had already turned black from poisoning.
Ji Yun Yue's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
No wonder the mysterious girl was so resistant to Ling Feng's touch; making physical contact with him gave one a strange sensation.
Ji Yun Yue almost lost her composure, then felt a cool sensation!
"You used the Ice Silkworm Gu to absorb the corpse poison I contracted? But won't you get poisoned too?"
Ji Yun Yue's face showed shock.
Ling Feng shook his head indifferently, "This little poison is useless against me!"
Then, he reached for the mysterious girl's collar.
Seeing this, Ji Yun Yue's expression turned cold, and she reached out to block Ling Feng.
"You cannot!"
"Why? This is the only way to save her. I can't perform acupuncture through clothes, nor witch doctor techniques! Only by combining the two..."
Before Ling Feng could finish, Ji Yun Yue bit her lower lip and said with difficulty, "No, before she fainted, she specifically instructed that you must absolutely not... not undress her!"
Ling Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked at the unconscious mysterious girl again, his brow furrowing slightly.
According to Ji Yun Yue.
The mysterious girl must have been aware of her injuries and also knew the method of detoxification!
But how did she know these things?
After all, even people from the Corpse Gu family might not have mastered such knowledge.
Even he himself had only made some progress today by continuously studying the art of Corpse Gu, which gave him the confidence to attempt to save her.
"Even death is not allowed?"
Ling Feng's expression turned colder. These women were such trouble!
"Yes! Even death is not allowed!"
Ji Yun Yue gritted her teeth. Although she didn't fully understand the importance of a woman's reputation, the mysterious girl had given her instructions, and she had promised to follow them.
"You should find another way to save her!"
