Chapter 120 - Injury

“Yingzi, I have another question. Other than the self-mutilating rituals recorded within the Profound Records, does the Ao Jing Sect have any other kinds of power or techniques?” Li Huowang finally asked the most important question.

When she heard this question, Yingzi was slightly troubled. “Yes, but I cannot teach them to you right now; you need a specific item to use those techniques, similar to the Profound Records. Senior Shou San would never give it to you.”

Every single ability they have requires the use of a book? This sect is weird.

Li Huowang thought to himself. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

“Who wrote these books?” asked Li Huowang.

“I’ve heard that it was the elders within the cave who wrote them. Every single book within the sect originates from them,” replied Yingzi.

Elders?

Noticing Li Huowang’s confused face, Yingxi continued, “Everyone needs a book to use their corresponding powers, but I’ve heard that the elders don't require them; they are able to use their powers at whim. However, I’ve never seen such a scene with my own eyes.”

“Oh... So that’s how it is.” Li Huowang nodded.

It seems that Shou San is not the leader of the Ao Jing Sect. At most, he’s somewhere on the middle level in the hierarchy.

“Do the elders reveal themselves regularly?” Li Huowang asked another question.

“No, they don’t usually meddle in worldly affairs. They have only ever come out once throughout the four years I have been here,” replied Yingzi.

“Wait, since those Elders don’t need the Profound Records to use their abilities, doesn’t it mean that they are able to use Ba-Hui’s power anytime they need it?” asked Li Huowang.

However, he shook his head when he thought about it. “That can’t be right. Summoning Ba-Hui requires one to pay a heavy price. Ba-Hui is only interested in extreme pain, so it shouldn’t be that easy borrowing its strength.”

Yingzi was concerned as she looked at him. “Sir, why are you asking these questions?”

“Both methods?” Yingzi was confused.

Compared to how she had been on the verge of breaking down a few hours ago, she was much more emotionally stable now.

“It’s nothing, go to bed.” Li Huowang stood up and walked to a stone bed.

Seeing this, Yingzi silently followed him.

However, Li Huowang had no time to think about such trivial things in this dangerous situation. He could also use this opportunity to test what her true intentions were. As much as he hated Dan Yangzi, Li Huowang could still use his master as a safety net if he encountered dangerous situations.

That night, the intense barking of a dog woke Li Huowang. He quickly lit the oil lamp and saw that Bun was barking toward the bed.

When Bun saw Li Huowang was awake, it quickly stopped and started wagging its tail. “Uuuu~”

At that moment, Yingzi also sat up groggily. “Father, what’s wrong? Why is our dog barking?”

It was only after a moment that she realized her mistake and was embarrassed. “Sorry, I dreamt that I was celebrating the new year with my family.”

Her acting was very good. She made it look like she had indeed just woken up.

Li Huowang took one look at her and scanned the cold cave. Then, he extended his right hand and pinched the back of Bun’s neck before picking it up and placed it on the stone bed.

“It’s alright, go to bed.” Li Huowang hugged the dog as he went back to his bed.

“Mmm ...” Yingzi lied down beside Li Huowang once more.

Soon, the room was once again plunged into darkness as Li Huowang listened to the regular breathing sound coming from Yingzi.

“Is it really okay for a woman like you to lie down on the same bed with me?” asked Li Huowang. He had just finished saying that when he heard the sound of clothes rustling behind him.

“I can’t be considered a little girl anymore. So what if I lie down on the same bed as you? If you want to, then just use me,” Yingzi’s voice rang out. At the same time, the oil lamp was reignited, allowing Li Huowang to see her naked body.

Her breasts were gone. All that was left in their place were two large scars on her chest. Various injuries and scars covered her body, with some of them still leaking pus.
