"I … I understand!"
Lin Ray's words were like a bucket of cold water that instantly extinguished the flame in his heart. There was not a trace of hope that was rekindled in his heart.
At this moment, the smile on Zuo Qing's face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a solemn and respectful expression. He did not speak and just stood quietly in front of Lin Ray. He did not know what to do with his hands and in the end, he simply placed them behind his back.
Lin Ray was stunned when he saw Zuo Qing's current actions. Then, he smiled and said, "Alright, it's good that you know. There is no need to be so restrained around me. Moreover …"
As he spoke, he looked at the few people who were frozen and continued, "Now, my identity is just the same as yours. I am just an ordinary person who is participating in the Talisman Grandmaster's recruitment. I am only a True God cultivator. Therefore, you must remember not to give yourself away in front of outsiders. Do you understand?"
"… Un … Understood!"
Although he did not know why Lin Ray was acting like this, he did not dare to reveal a trace of doubt even though he was clearly a powerful expert who was pretending to be a cultivation newbie.
He nodded respectfully and said, "I will definitely remember what you have instructed me to do. Please be rest assured."
"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Lin Ray nodded. "Since that is the case, you can call me Young Master like everyone else!"
Lin Ray liked this form of address. After all, other than this form of address, he felt a little uncomfortable being called master as someone who had lived under the obligation for nine years.
"Yes, Young Master. I understand …" He nodded and expressed his agreement …
"Alright!"
Lin Ray was in a good mood when he saw how obedient Zuo Qing was. Originally, he had come here to complete the mission issued by the system. However, he did not expect that he would unintentionally discover such a powerful subordinate. Therefore, Lin Ray's trip could be said to have not been in vain.
Of course, Lin Ray could clearly sense the hatred in Zuo Qing's heart. Lin Ray did not object to this as long as Zuo Qing did not threaten him.
"I'll leave these people to you. It's up to you whether you want to kill them or keep them. Remember to be decisive." Lin Ray didn't even bother to look at the small fries that were frozen by him. He spoke to Zuo Qing and walked to the side. As for the spells on those people, Lin Ray didn't remove them. Although Zuo Qing's supreme-grade Thunder Spirit Root was very difficult to deal with, Lin Ray felt ashamed of Zuo Qing's cultivation …
"Thank … thank you, Young Master. This subordinate will definitely repay you with my body in the future. I will be loyal to you. I will not hesitate to climb a mountain of blades or plunge into a sea of flames. My respect for you is like a torrential river, continuous and unstoppable. I …"
"Stop stop stop!"
Linley frowned when he saw how Zuo Qing was enjoying herself. He hurriedly called for her to stop because he didn't dare to imagine if Zuo Qing would say something even more disgusting if he didn't stop her. If that was the case, he definitely wouldn't be able to take it.
Looking at Zuo Qing, Lin Ray said very seriously, "Remember, when you're with me in the future, speak as little as possible. It's best if you don't speak at all. You just have to wait for my Secret Realm. Do you understand? This is the first order that I've given you. I believe you won't disobey it!"
"Er … this …" Hearing this, Zuo Qing looked embarrassed. Even a fool would know why Lin Ray was so straightforward, so …
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" In the end, Zuo Qing did not dare to disobey Lin Ray's order. He finally chose to compromise and stopped talking.
"Good! That's … very good! "
With Zuo Qing's agreement, Lin Ray finally smiled. Perhaps he was happy because Zuo Qing had agreed to his conditions, or perhaps he was excited because Lin Ray had obtained a top-grade Thunder Spiritual Root. As for the details, no one knew except for Lin Ray himself.
"Take your time. I'll wait!" Without looking back, he turned and walked away.
Looking at Lin Ray's back, Zuo Qing's face was full of gratitude. He secretly swore that as long as it was Lin Ray's enemy, he would do everything in his power to kill them, even if the enemy's cultivation was much higher than his …
Lin Ray did not know about this vow, but Zuo Qing really did fulfill it. In the end, he became Lin Ray's sharp blade. Once he did, blood would be shed.
Staring at Linley's departing figure, Zuo Qing regained her coldness. A coldness that seemed to originate from the depths of hell could be felt. Within her eyes, a hint of killing intent flashed, without a trace. But just that trace of killing intent was enough to cause people to tremble in fear.
Turning around, he looked at the people who had bullied him, punched and kicked him, and even wanted to beat him to death. He looked at the people who had once called him brothers. He looked at these ungrateful beasts. He looked at these people who had tried to divide the spoils and kill him because of the Zuo Family. Zuo Qing's heart was filled with endless hatred and killing intent.
"Heh. It seems the kid's heart is filled with hatred. I guess it's time to let him vent a bit. Otherwise … well, it's not a bad thing to have such a strong killing intent."
Lin Ray's divine sense had not left Zuo Qing's position. He could sense Zuo Qing's killing intent, and Lin Ray knew exactly what was going on.
"If that's the case, then I'll …." With a thought, he caused the minions who had been beating Zuo Qing to move their heads and regain consciousness. However, their bodies were so weak that they didn't seem to belong to them at all. They just stood there, motionless.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?"
"What the hell is going on? Who is it? Don't tell me he knows I'm the Young Master of the Xu Clan? Does he want to die?!"
"Fuck, who is it? How could he be so shameless as to sneak up on me from behind? What kind of cultivator is he? If he's got the guts, come out and fight me …"
There was no sound of a slap. Just as the crowd regained consciousness and realized what was going on, they began to hurl abuse at Lin Ray. However, even as they were hurling abuse at Lin Ray, a slap appeared out of nowhere and landed on his face. The sound of the slap was so loud and clear that it seemed to be filled with an intimidating power. Everyone who had been hurling abuse at Lin Ray stopped in their tracks.
In the next moment, the people who were cursing all shut their mouths. Their faces were all filled with astonishment because the person they saw was none other than Zuo Qing, whom they had never expected to see.
Everyone looked at Zuo Qing, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They couldn't believe that Zuo Qing was the one who had been beaten half to death by them.
But here came the problem. Everyone knew Zuo Qing's appearance very well. She was half-dead and almost dead. But now, Zuo Qing didn't look like she was half-dead at all. She was clearly a normal person who didn't have any injuries except for her pale face. She was clearly a normal person.
"You … You … Are you a human or a ghost? Why … why did your injuries heal in an instant? Are you Zuo Qing or …" At this moment, the originally quiet scene was broken by the voice of someone in the field.
This person was none other than the leader of a group of underlings, the so-called Young Master of the Xu Clan.
He looked at Zuo Qing with a bewildered gaze. However, under his bewildered gaze, there was a deep sense of greed. In his opinion, the only thing that could heal his injuries in an instant was some heavenly treasure. He couldn't think of anything else.
At this moment, if Zuo Qing knew what he was thinking, he would definitely burst out laughing. He didn't expect the Xu Clan to be such a fool who liked to imagine things …
However, how could the current Zuo Qing possibly know what the Young Master of the Xu Clan was thinking? At this moment, he only wanted to take revenge. He wanted to take revenge for how they had treated him. He wanted to take revenge for not lending a helping hand to the Zuo Clan when they were in trouble and instead ruthlessly stabbing the Zuo Clan in the heart. He wanted to take revenge for those who had once called him brothers, but in the end, stabbed him in the back, gloated over his misfortune, and hit him when he was down.
Therefore, Zuo Qing only had one thought about the Young Master of the Xu Clan, and that was to kill him and take revenge …
"Heh, what do you think?" Zuo Qing looked at the Young Master of the Xu Clan with a mocking expression. "Do you think I'm a human or a ghost?"
"You …" Hearing Zuo Qing's words, the Young Master of the Xu Clan was stunned. He immediately recovered and said with a smile, "That … You …"
"So what if I'm a human or a ghost? If the heavens don't accept me, I'm a ghost. If the Ghost Domain doesn't accept me, I'm a god. Right now, I'm a human, a god, a ghost, and everything in the Vast Thousand Domains." At this moment, when he said these words, Zuo Qing's body erupted with an aura that didn't lose out to his.
Even Lin Ray, who was far away, felt this aura. "Heh, it seems that this little fellow is quite something. I have to train him more in the future. Otherwise, it would be a pity to destroy such a good piece of material."
With that, Lin Ray fell into silence. His consciousness was closely watching Zuo Qing's next move. In this regard, Lin Ray had no intention of interfering.
"You … What do you want?" Looking at the current Zuo Qing, the Young Master of the Xu Clan was stunned. His heart was filled with an indescribable feeling. At this moment, he realized that he seemed to know the debauchee of the past. It seemed that the Zuo Qing in front of him wasn't the Zuo Qing he knew.
However, the two of their faces were so shockingly similar. At this moment, the Young Master of the Xu Clan was stunned. He was completely stunned.
Looking at the puzzled Young Master of the Xu Clan, Zuo Qing suddenly smiled. His smile was very sudden and without any warning. However, the Young Master of the Xu Clan didn't feel the slightest warmth from his smile. On the contrary, he felt endless coldness. It made his hair stand on end and he felt as if he had entered an ice cave.
This feeling was very unpleasant, especially for the current him. He didn't expect that this feeling would come from the person he thought was trash.
"What do I want? You still have the nerve to say that? Don't you know how I treated you back then? Back then, your Xu Clan was about to disappear. It was I … It was I who begged my father to lend a helping hand to your Xu Clan. But what about you? How did you repay me? "
At this moment, it was as if Zuo Qing had gone mad. He roared at the Young Master of the Xu Clan, "You repaid me at the cost of my Zuo Clan's annihilation. You repaid me by stabbing a bone-piercing cold knife into my heart. You repaid me at the cost of thousands of lives in my Zuo Clan. Now, you're telling me what I look like?"
At this moment, the Young Master of the Xu Clan was stunned on the spot after hearing Zuo Qing's words. Their eyes were lifeless as they recalled Zuo Qing who had helped them back then.
But so what? In the face of benefits, brothers … heh, they were meant to be betrayed. They weren't meant to share joys and sorrows, to live and die together.
"The moment you touched my Zuo Clan, the moment you touched my service, your life, the fate of your entire Xu Clan, was already sealed. Death!"
"What? You … "
Hearing those words, the Young Master of the Xu Clan came back to his senses. Sensing the enormous killing intent, he was scared. It was only at this moment that he realized that he couldn't move at all. However, Zuo Qing was different.
At this moment, he … was scared. He was no longer the high and mighty Young Master Xu from before.
"Die!"
Ignoring Young Master Xu, a cold, three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand, pulsing with cold sword energy that gave people the illusion that they wouldn't dare to look directly at it.
Seeing this, Young Master Xu's eyes went wide, and he said in disbelief, "Zuo Qing … uh, no, Grandpa Zuo, Grandpa Zuo, I beg of you, no … no, don't kill me. Have you forgotten that we're good brothers? Have you forgotten the happy times we had together?"
In order to survive, Young Master Xu didn't care about his own face. In the face of living, everything seemed so petty and pitiful ….
"Beg for mercy? Brothers? Feelings? " Hearing these harsh words, Zuo Qing felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was as if thousands of knives were stabbing his heart over and over again without stopping.
"When the thousand Zuo Clan members begged for mercy, did you ever think about the brotherly feelings between us? After the Zuo Clan was exterminated, did you ever think about the things you did to me? Did you ever think about those pitiful brotherly feelings? When I was down and out, did you ever … think about those brotherly feelings?"
"…." At this moment, Young Master Xu was silent.
"If that's the case, then why should I have brotherly feelings for you?!" With that, Zuo Qing took a step forward, arriving in front of Young Master Xu in an instant. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at Young Master Xu's left ear.
With a ripping sound, the sound of flesh being torn apart rang out, followed by Young Master Xu's blood-curdling scream.
"You … Ah … You're really … Could it be that you're not afraid of being hunted down by the Xu Clan? Could it be that … you're not afraid that the Xu Clan …. "
"Rip …."
"Ah …."
Following that, a sword light appeared, and Young Master Xu's right ear was separated from his body. It fell to the ground, blood spurting out, and Young Master Xu's blood-curdling screams continued.
At this moment, Zuo Qing was in such a state. Other than Young Master Xu, everyone else was stunned. Their faces were filled with shock and fear. They had never seen Zuo Qing bathed in blood before. It was as if they didn't know him at all.
At this moment, everyone looked at Young Master Xu's miserable appearance, and their hearts were in turmoil. They knew that the evaluation of Young Master Xu just now had been made by some of the people present, so ….
Fear had taken over everyone's hearts. They were afraid, and they regretted it. They … they ….
