There were less than four hours left until midnight.
Yun Bing's expression grew colder and colder as she sat in the courtyard. She clenched her fists tightly, as if trying to suppress the anger in her heart.
Soon, it was midnight, but the Spirit Tribe man still had not appeared. Yun Bing could no longer sit still. Not only was she worried that the Spirit Tribe man would not fulfill his promise, but she was also worried that Lu An would head to Thousand Dust Star at midnight. After all, midnight was the second day. It was not impossible.
If that was the case, she would have gained nothing.
She could only pray. Pray that this would not happen. At the same time, her hatred for the Spirit Tribe grew. If the Spirit Tribe was sincere, it would have been the same whether they sent them sooner or later. Why wait until now?
The moon rose higher and higher. The last two hours were also passing. Soon, there was only one hour left. At this moment, Yun Bing could no longer hold it in. She sat up from her chair and paced back and forth. Her face was pale. She bit her lower lip and immediately walked out of the door. She immediately activated the teleportation array outside!
Buzz —
The teleportation array lit up, emitting a cold white light. But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air. He did not stand properly and immediately fell to the ground. Immediately after, another figure appeared and also fell heavily to the ground!
Then, a third figure appeared. The third person did not fall to the ground. Instead, he stood steadily on the ground.
When Yun Bing saw the two people standing on the ground, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating. She immediately rushed in front of the two people.
"Yi 'er!"
"You 'er!"
There were two children on the ground. The older one was a boy who looked about ten years old. The younger one was a girl who was probably no more than six years old. Both children were covered in blood. This blood was not anyone else's but their own.
The two children had been severely tortured. The Spirit Tribe man had not shown them any mercy.
When she saw the two children, Yun Bing could no longer hold back her tears. They poured out like a broken dam.
The third figure was naturally the Spirit Tribe man. He looked at the teleportation array that had been activated and could not help but frown. He looked at Yun Bing, who was kneeling beside the two children, and said coldly, "You're in such a hurry. You haven't gone yet, have you?"
"What did you do to them!" Yun Bing's heart ached. She looked at the Spirit Tribe man and asked loudly.
"Lower your voice." The man frowned and immediately scolded, "I'm telling you, if you call them over and leak the plan, I guarantee that you won't get the antidote!"
Hearing the word 'antidote', Yun Bing's body trembled. She lowered her head and looked at the two children on the ground. The two children were on the verge of death. As a mother, Yun Bing felt as if a knife had pierced her heart when she saw this.
"I'm leaving." The man said coldly, "As long as you're obedient and don't go anywhere today, and Lu An is heading to Thousand Dust Star, I'll bring you the antidote tonight! If you dare to reveal the secret, let alone your two children, you won't be able to live either! "
With that, the man snorted coldly and disappeared into the night.
"…"
"Wu …"
Yun Bing was sobbing softly. Even though she was trying her best to suppress herself, she still couldn't hold it in. She quickly took out two elixirs from her ring … The Celestial Alliance had given her many healing elixirs in case of emergency. She immediately fed them to the two children.
This medicine was effective even for those in the Celestial Realm, let alone two children. However, no matter how powerful the medicine was, it wouldn't cause too much of a burden on the children's bodies, nor would it hurt them. Perhaps the two children's injuries were too severe, or perhaps they had suffered too much torture and were too tired, but after taking the elixirs, they fell into a deep sleep.
Yun Bing brought the two children into the room and gently placed them on the bed. She carefully wiped away the blood stains on the two children and changed their clothes. After everything was done, she looked at the two children on the bed, her tears still flowing.
Looking at the two children, she was reminded of what had happened in the past. It was the greatest nightmare of her life.
The Ling Clan had attacked the planet she was on, and it had happened before the full-scale war had begun.
The Lu Clan had attacked the planet, and it was because of this that she had been captured and imprisoned in their prison. As for why the Ling Clan had attacked the planet, she still didn't know.
Her husband had also been captured and had suffered inhumane torture in front of her. Her husband hadn't been able to hold on for long. After the Ling Clan couldn't get the information they wanted, they had no use keeping the man alive, so they killed him. In fact, she and the two children should have died as well. After all, they were just bargaining chips used to threaten the man. Since the man was dead, there was no use keeping them alive.
She and the two children were able to survive because of her beauty.
The Ling Clan and the humans of the Heavenly Galaxy had certain differences in aesthetics, but they were generally the same. They just had different preferences. The Ling Clan generally preferred unrestrained and wild women. The etiquette of the Sengoku civilization was too troublesome for them. The men and women of the Sengoku civilization were very reserved. Such women didn't satisfy the Ling Clan. Even so, Yun Bing was still too beautiful, even in the eyes of the top clan, the Lu Clan.
There would always be a chance to use a beauty. Therefore, the Ling Clan used the two children to control Yun Bing, so that she couldn't commit suicide and had to listen to their orders.
Fortunately, no one in the Ling Clan's prison had molested Yun Bing. However, what Yun Bing didn't know was that the person who had given this order was none other than Lu Ding.
At that time, the leader of the Ling Clan who had attacked the planet was Lu Ding.
Lu Ding wasn't like the other Ling Clan members who had been watching Yun Bing. He had always been very principled. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't lay his hands on a woman. This could be seen from the two children. The boy's injuries were more serious, while the girl's injuries were very light. Of course, it was indeed his order to let Yun Bing seduce Lu An. In order to complete the mission, he had no choice but to do so.
With the help of powerful elixirs, the two children's bodies were completely healed. Even their skin was completely healed, as if they had never been injured. Although the Ling Clan's poison was in the two children's bodies, it couldn't be seen on the surface.
However, Yun Bing definitely didn't doubt the Ling Clan's viciousness. She knew that the Ling Clan must have poisoned the two children. Moreover … after Lu Ding said that even Sengoku couldn't cure the poison, she really didn't dare to take the risk.
She had already come this far. The children had already returned to her. She was only one step away from successfully escaping the Ling Clan. She had already harmed Lu An … so she could only continue to harm him.
Lu An was a good person.
After tomorrow, she would take the two children and fly away. If she could leave the Immortal Planet, she would find a planet with life, even if it was a very small one, and raise the children. If she couldn't leave the Immortal Planet, she could only hide with the children and drag out an ignoble existence for the rest of her life.
The two children were really too tired from being tortured and frightened. They would probably sleep for a very, very long time. Yun Bing seemed to have cried her eyes dry. She sat by the bed and cried.
Just like that, time passed little by little. The final hour of the night was over.
The bright moon in the sky was getting closer and closer to the top of their heads.
Ding — Ding —
The sound of a gong came from the long street. Someone shouted, "It's midnight! Be careful of the fire! "
This was a custom. Even if the people in the city were all cultivators and didn't need to be reminded. Even if there was a fire, they wouldn't be injured. However, without this sound, everyone would feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep soundly.
The sound of the gong made Yun Bing's body tremble. She immediately clenched her hands.
It was midnight.
Today was destined to be very difficult.
