Not long after Tang Lian's voice was heard, a woman walked out of the house.
This woman was dressed in a coarse dress, and her face was somewhat haggard. Her white face gave people a feeling that she was seriously ill, and her aura was that of an early stage Asura Warrior. However, she was undoubtedly Tang Lian.
Although he was mentally prepared, when Xing Jue saw Tang Lian, he could not help but feel his heart ache. Every time he thought about how he had harmed Tang Lian, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"You are?"
After seeing Xing Jue, Tang Lian was indeed stunned. Because Xing Jue had changed his appearance, she could not recognize Xing Jue at all.
However, she was not afraid, because at this moment, Xing Jue was just a delicate and handsome man, and he gave people a very friendly feeling. She knew that this was not someone from the Zhou Family who had come to cause trouble.
"Sister, do you not know him?" At this moment, Tang Yu and Uncle Zhao walked in. Seeing Tang Lian's expression, the two of them knew that Tang Lian did not know Xing Jue.
"Sister, is he your friend?" Tang Lian shook her head, then looked at Tang Yu.
At this moment, not to mention Tang Lian, even Tang Yu and Uncle Zhao became nervous. The way they looked at Xing Jue was filled with complicated emotions.
Previously, Xing Jue had clearly told them that he and Tang Lian were close friends, and he had used this identity to ask Tang Yu about the Tang Family and Tang Lian.
Tang Yu had also told him the truth. After all, Xing Jue's strength was so strong that it made her feel afraid. She did not think that such a person would lie to people like them.
However, at this moment, when she found out that her sister actually did not know Xing Jue, she could not help but feel afraid. She was very afraid that it was an enemy of the Tang Family who had come to seek revenge.
After all, her father had been a strong warrior in the past. Even if he had provoked an extremely powerful enemy, this might not be true.
"Sister Tang Lian, it's me!" Xing Jue laughed bitterly. His figure changed, and in front of the three of them, he returned to his original appearance.
"Xing … Xing Jue, is that you?" After Xing Jue recovered his appearance, Tang Lian recognized him at first glance. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her pale face was filled with shock.
"What? He is Xing Jue? Oh my god, this is really Xing Jue … "
"Isn't he the Xing Jue who destroyed the Hermit Peak and is now wanted by Mount Wuzhi?"
At first, Tang Lian's cry of surprise caused Tang Yu and Uncle Zhao to be stunned. However, when they saw the current Xing Jue, their expressions changed drastically. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably as an indescribable fear filled their bodies.
Now that Mount Wuzhi's arrest warrant for Xing Jue had almost been posted to the center of the world and various towns in the south, they had long heard about Xing Jue.
In their eyes, Xing Jue was an extremely dangerous person. He was simply a slaughtering devil, an existence that they could not imagine.
Naturally, they were terrified when such a person appeared in front of them. Tang Yu even suspected that Xing Jue was here to kill her sister, Tang Lian. After all, her sister used to be a disciple of Reincarnation Peak, and Xing Jue was now at odds with Mount Wuzhi.
After revealing his true appearance, Xing Jue said with a face full of guilt, "Sister Tang Lian, I'm sorry. It's all my fault …"
After Xing Jue's words, Tang Yu and Uncle Zhao were even more stunned. They were confused and at a loss. Their slightly opened cherry lips were filled with endless shock and confusion. They thought to themselves,
"What's going on? Why does he keep calling my sister 'Senior Sister'? Could it be that they know each other? Sister knows a big shot like Xing Jue? "
At this moment, only Tang Lian's lips curled into a bitter smile. However, that bitterness only lasted for a moment. She then said to Xing Jue with a face full of joy, "Junior Brother Xing Jue, I'm really touched that you can still come to see me!!"
After some understanding, they found out that when Tang Lian was expelled from Reincarnation Peak and most of her cultivation was destroyed, she only said that it was because a junior brother caused trouble that she was implicated.
However, she did not tell anyone about the junior brother's name. Therefore, even Tang Yu did not know that Tang Lian knew Xing Jue.
At this moment, Tang Lian, her sister, and Xing Jue were sitting alone in the house. The three of them looked at each other, but they did not know where to start.
Tang Yu's emotions were a little complicated. Although she was surprised and extremely shocked that her sister was acquainted with a person like Xing Jue.
But when she thought about how her elder sister had become like this because of the Punishment Technique, a trace of anger couldn't help but arise in her eyes.
However, in front of a person like Xing Jue, she was afraid from the bottom of her heart. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything.
Even though she had always been a lively person, she did not even have the courage to speak when she was sitting in the house with Xing Jue and the other two.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, now that Mount Wuzhi is looking for you everywhere, why don't you hide? How dare you run around?" Compared to Tang Yu, Tang Lian was much more open-minded. She did not blame Xing Jue at all. Instead, she was worried about Xing Jue's safety.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Tang Lian. Mount Wuzhi can't catch me at all. As for you, why do you want to stay here and be oppressed by others?"
Tang Lian knew that she would be oppressed if she stayed here, but she still refused to leave. This puzzled Xing Jue, so Xing Jue guessed that there must be a reason behind it.
At this moment, Tang Yu also looked at Tang Lian. In fact, this was what she had always wanted to know.
"Heh …" Tang Lian smiled bitterly. She did not answer, as if there was indeed something she could not say.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian, is someone threatening you?"
Xing Jue asked. This was his guess. He felt that even if Tang Lian did not care about him, she would not bring her sister to be oppressed by others.
The most likely reason why Tang Lian insisted on staying here was that someone was threatening her. If she left this place, she and her sister might face a greater threat.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, how do you know?" Sure enough, Tang Lian was stunned after hearing what Xing Jue said.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian is from Reincarnation Peak? Tell me. "Xing Jue asked.
"Sister, what is going on? Tell me." Tang Yu also asked.
"Yes, it is Elder Tang Luo from Reincarnation Peak. He is Gao Qiu's master. He was the one who expelled me from Reincarnation Peak."
"Moreover, he intercepted me on my way home and forced me to ask about Junior Brother Xing Jue's whereabouts and where Junior Brother Xing Jue came from. I refused to tell him, so he injured my Sea of Qi, causing my strength to drop to the level of an Asura Warrior. It will be difficult for me to advance further in my life." At this moment, Tang Lian did not hide anything.
Hearing this, Xing Jue's heart tightened. He did not expect that Tang Lian's cultivation was destroyed to protect him. At this moment, Xing Jue felt even more guilty towards Tang Lian.
Because he could imagine that if Tang Lian really told him that Xing Jue came from the Limitless Courtyard in the Eastern Region, the entire Limitless Courtyard would be destroyed. After all, Xing Jue had caused a great disaster. In order to find out his whereabouts, Mount Wuzhi would do anything.
Thinking of this, Xing Jue felt a lingering fear. After all, there were many of Xing Jue's close friends in the Limitless Courtyard. Those people were people that Xing Jue did not want to be hurt.
"Sister, what happened after that?" Tang Yu continued to ask.
"After that, he warned me not to leave the Gate Town for the rest of my life. If I left, he would make my family beg for death …"
"He would skin my father alive but not let him die. He would destroy my sister's cultivation and sell her to a brothel. He would …"
At this point, Tang Lian's tears were already falling like rain. Her jade-like hands clutched the hem of her skirt tightly. Falling from an Asura Martial Master to an Asura Martial Artist, it would be difficult for her to move forward in her life. Moreover, her family business had been ruined. It was obvious that she was suffering a great deal.
At this moment, Xing Jue had already clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. He knew that Tang Lian had fallen into such a situation because of him. Tang Luo obviously did not let them leave because of Xing Jue.
Tang Luo must have thought that Tang Lian would definitely have a close relationship with Xing Jue since Xing Jue was unwilling to reveal his whereabouts. Therefore, he would most likely come back to look for Tang Lian in the future. That was why he did not let Tang Lian leave the Gate Town.
Moreover, Xing Jue could indeed sense that there were indeed people watching outside the mansion. However, they were not strong enough to sense Xing Jue at all.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian, don't cry. I can take you away from here and help you recover your strength."
At this moment, Xing Jue's heart was already burning with rage. However, he did not flare up. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart because he needed to comfort Tang Lian and her sister and properly compensate them. As for revenge, that would have to be done after he made proper arrangements for them.
"Really? You can help my sister recover her strength? " As soon as Xing Jue said those words, Tang Yu anxiously asked before Tang Lian could speak. Her youthful face was filled with surprise and anticipation.
Logically speaking, Tang Lian's injuries were already incurable. However, she knew very well what kind of person Xing Jue was. In her eyes, Xing Jue was the person who stood at the peak of the entire world. She felt that such a person might really be able to help her sister recover her strength.
Even Tang Yu was in such a state, let alone Tang Lian. At this moment, her cherry lips were slightly parted as she stared unblinkingly at Xing Jue, as if she really wanted to hear a definite answer from Xing Jue's mouth.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian, give me your hand. I need to check on your injuries," Xing Jue said to Tang Lian with a smile.
Xing Jue possessed the Heavenly Book of Immortal Herbs, as well as a large number of Level Four immortal herbs, and even Level Five and Level Six immortal herbs. He had some confidence in helping Tang Lian recover her strength.
"En," After hearing Xing Jue's words, Tang Lian hurriedly did as she was told and extended her pure white hand in front of Xing Jue.
Xing Jue gently pressed one hand on Tang Lian's wrist. He needed to delve his soul into her body and check on the extent of her Qi Sea's injuries.
Only by mastering this would he be able to refine the corresponding pills and help her repair her Qi Sea. Moreover, he could also collect her past cultivation from her Qi Sea and help her recover her strength in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the room was completely silent. Tang Lian and Tang Yu stared at Xing Jue, their hearts mixed with nervousness and excitement.
One could even clearly hear their heartbeats. It was obvious how much they hoped that Xing Jue's words were true. At the same time, they were afraid that Xing Jue would give a disappointing answer.
