Ye Ling and Bai Bing's eyes abruptly widened at the sight of this familiar figure in the distance, and fury immediately welled up in their hearts.
Ye Ling and Bai Bing leaped into the air at full speed and landed beside the blackened figure.
Bai Bing crouched down and was about to help Yan Guilai up when Ye Ling stopped her immediately.
Don't! Don't touch him …
As she spoke, Ye Ling's hands rapidly formed a series of hand seals. With a wave of her hand, she planned to pull out the numerous gray needles from Yan Gui's body.
However, much to Ye Ling's surprise, the grey needles remained completely unmoved in the face of her energy manipulation, and they didn't even tremble in the slightest.
Ye Ling's eyes widened when she saw this. She exclaimed, "Divine Netherworld Needle!"
Bai Bing nodded in response to Ye Ling's words. She gently pressed her hand on Yan Guilai's forehead and injected the True Sun Fire into Yan Guilai's body.
The True Sun Fire could burn anything. Even toxins were not spared.
Wherever the True Sun Fire swept, all the toxins were swept away. Not even a speck was left.
On the other side, Ye Ling cooperated with Bai Bing and quickly pulled out the gray needles from Yan Guilai's body one by one.
One, two, three, four …
As her hands moved quickly, a total of 81 needles were pulled out. At the same time, Bai Bing's True Sun Fire swept through Yan Guilai's body and removed all the toxins.
At this point, Yan Guilai could actually wake up. In fact … he had never been unconscious.
However, as the saying went, one had to complete the act. Now, Yan Guilai really wanted to know if the culprit behind the scenes would make a move on him again after discovering that he was not dead.
Ye Ling couldn't help but become furious when she saw that Yan Guilai was still unconscious even though the black aura had been removed. She turned around and shouted, "Chu Xingtian, come out!"
Chu Xingtian hesitated in the crowd when he heard Ye Ling's angry roar. Then, he parted the crowd and walked out.
Seeing Chu Xingtian walk out of the crowd, Ye Ling pointed at Swallow Return and angrily said, "Explain to me what's going on!"
Chu Xingtian shrugged in response to Ye Ling's question. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? There are so many people here. Who knows who did it? "
Looking at Chu Xingtian coldly, Ye Ling said loudly, "You don't know? If you don't know, who will?! These Netherworld Divine Needles are a treasure left behind by the ancestor of your Great Chu royalty, Di Tianyi. Apart from your Great Chu royalty, who else can take it out? "
Chu Xingtian was stunned when he heard Ye Ling's words. Then, he spread his hands innocently and said, "I can't answer your question. I can only say that I'm innocent."
Ye Ling's delicate body trembled when she heard Chu Xingtian's words. She nodded and said, "Good, very good … you won't admit it? It's fine … I'll get to the bottom of this even if I have to poke a hole in the sky! "
Looking at the unconscious Yan Guilai on the ground, Ye Ling said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that if the Great Chu royalty can't give an explanation, then there's no need for the Great Chu royalty to continue existing!"
Bai Bing nodded deeply and continued, "You can survive a heaven-sent disaster, but you can't survive a self-inflicted disaster. If this incident was really caused by the Great Chu royalty, then the Great Chu royalty is already standing against the common people."
As she spoke, Ye Ling flew up and instantly appeared in front of the Ancient Pagoda, which was the Hundred Herb Floor.
Looking up at the huge pagoda that reached the clouds, Ye Ling said, "May I ask why the children were cleared out in advance and why the pagoda door was closed? What exactly happened here?! "
Following Ye Ling's voice, nine white lights flashed and nine ten-thousand-year-old ginseng spirits appeared outside the huge pagoda. They lined up in a row in front of Ye Ling.
In the next moment, a nine-colored light flashed and a beautiful nine-colored deer appeared in front of Ye Ling.
Looking coldly at Ye Ling, the beautiful nine-colored deer said, "You humans are too greedy and don't know what's good for you. You've caused great damage to the Chong Lou world. From now on … I won't open the Chong Lou to you."
What! This …
Upon hearing that someone had caused great damage to the Chong Lou world, Ye Ling instantly misunderstood.
Actually, the nine-colored deer was telling the truth. Those examinees didn't care about the environment in the Chong Lou world at all. As long as there were medicinal herbs, no matter how old they were or whether they had sufficient medicinal properties, they were all dug up.
Under such carpet-like digging, the damage to the Chong Lou world was unimaginable.
Logically speaking, only the mature medicinal herbs would be dug up. As for the young seedlings, they had to be left behind. Otherwise, even if they had a good time digging up this year, what would they do next year?
If even the young seedlings were dug up, then when they came back next year, would they have to dig up the herbs?
What angered the nine-colored deer the most was that this situation had been happening for many years, but the humans never knew how to restrain themselves. Now, the first to third floors had been severely damaged.
Ten years ago, the first to third floors could be said to be filled with herds of spiritual herbs and piles of spiritual herbs. There was no need to look carefully. As far as the eye could see, there were spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and spiritual fruits everywhere.
But as the humans wantonly plucked the older and more medicinal herbs, in the last two to three years, the human children weren't even willing to let go of the young seedlings.
As the saying went, there was a first and second time, but there was no third time. In order to protect the Chong Lou world, the nine-colored deer had no choice.
Even if Yan Guilai hadn't appeared, the nine-colored deer had already planned to close the Chong Lou world after this year and let it repair itself. It would only open again after it was completely repaired.
One must know that if only one or two people were doing this, the problem wouldn't be too big.
But the problem now was that there were too many people doing this. There were at least tens of thousands of people.
Tens of thousands of Spirit Gathering warriors lined up like a comb, combing through the Chong Lou world. Wherever they passed, all the herbs, regardless of age or medicinal properties, were plucked. How destructive was this?
The nine-colored deer even suspected that if this happened a few more times, there wouldn't be a single spiritual herb left in the first three floors of the Chong Lou world. It would be very difficult for the Chong Lou world to repair itself.
However, in Ye Ling's ears, it was a completely different story.
When she heard that the reason for the Chong Lou world's closure was because the humans had caused too much damage to the Chong Lou world, Ye Ling instantly thought that someone was deliberately causing damage inside.
After all, ever since Ye Ling took over, the same harvesting had been going on for ten years. Why didn't they close the Chong Lou earlier or later? Why did they have to wait until this year to close the Chong Lou world?
It wasn't that Ye Ling was extreme. It was just that … it was very difficult for her to separate the Yan Guilai incident from the closure of the Chong Lou world. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
And most importantly, why didn't the nine-colored deer directly refuse the entry of the candidates? Why did it suddenly clear everyone out after three days of harvesting?
In Ye Ling's opinion, the culprit must have started to hunt down Yan Guilai inside the Chong Lou world. In the process, the culprit must have caused great damage to the Chong Lou world.
