CH 22

Li Huowang stood still in the alchemy room of Qingfeng Temple, covered in his master's blood, clearly in shock. "Are these three pills really that powerful? Did Dan Yangzi and I make pills or explosives?"

After lying on the ground for a while, he got up and felt his face with his hand before bending down to pick through the debris on the ground.

After picking through it for a while and not finding any movable flesh, and even finding that Dan Yangzi's copper bell had been destroyed, Li Huowang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had really killed Dan Yangzi.

"But now that he's dead, what should I do next?" Li Huowang stood still, not knowing which way to go.

He had thought that he would be happy after getting revenge, but now that the moment had come, he found himself lost.

All his plans in recent days had revolved around killing Dan Yangzi. He had never thought about what he would do if he survived.

Now that Dan Yangzi was dead and Bai Lingmiao was safe, he had fulfilled his promises. What should he do next?

Just as he was pondering this question, the door of the alchemy room suddenly opened, and Changren and Changming walked in, holding swords and looking around warily when they didn't find Dan Yangzi.

When they saw the bloody Li Huowang, they immediately became suspicious. "Who are you, demon? Where's our master?"

"Your foot is on him. Also, I'm Xuan Yang, your junior brother," Li Huowang said, causing Changren and Changming to look down and see some organs in front of them. Their pupils shrank instantly.

Li Huowang looked around and picked up half of Dan Yangzi's face from the ground. "See, he's really dead."

"I killed him," Li Huowang said to them.

"Although he killed many people in his life, he deserved to die long ago, but I didn't kill him for that reason. I killed him because of personal grievances."

As Li Huowang was about to explain his reasons to the two men, Changming and Changren looked at each other and quickly sheathed their swords before turning and rushing out the door.

"Hey, wait for me to finish talking before you leave!" Li Huowang shouted after them.

After shouting for a while with no response, Li Huowang sighed and held his still-sore stomach before walking towards the door.

"Lai zi tou is dead! He's dead! You can all go home now!" Li Huowang shook the deflated copper bell in his hand and shouted loudly to everyone around.Today is the first day of the lunar new year. The harsh ringing of the bell did not bring any sign of the evil spirit, You Lao Ye, but instead brought the children and medicine gatherers.

When they saw the half-face in Li Huowang's hand, they all fell to the ground and worshipped in all directions.

Li Huowang slowly walked along the tunnel of the cave, wanting to spread this news to everyone in Qingfeng Guan.

More and more people joined his team and started shouting together, "Lai Zi Tou is dead! He's dead! We can go home now!"

At this moment, Li Huowang felt someone reaching out to help him. He turned his head and saw that it was Bai Lingmiao, who was shedding tears of joy.

Li Huowang smiled at her and waved Dan Yangzi's half-face with all his strength. "Lai Zi Tou is dead, you can all go home now, it's the new year! You can all go home now!"

"Yes! Senior Brother Li, you can go home too! We can all go home!"

Li Huowang's expression froze, but he continued to wave the copper bell in his hand with all his strength and shouted as loudly as he could, "Dan Yangzi is dead! Come out, you can all go home!!"

However, not everyone in Qingfeng Guan was so happy. When Li Huowang arrived near Dan Yangzi's residence, he heard the sound of metal and stone coming from a distance.

Li Huowang led the crowd over and saw Xuan Yuan confronting Chang Ming and Chang Ren with weapons drawn in Dan Yangzi's filthy residence. Tensions were high.

Li Huowang understood what they were fighting over when he saw the so-called "heavenly book" wrapped in black thread and coins.

"Xuan Yang junior brother! Come on, let's kill these two accomplices of Dan Yangzi together! We can share this heavenly book and become immortal!" Xuan Yuan, who was no longer friendly, urged Li Huowang.

Chang Ming drew his sword and pointed it directly at the door when Li Huowang approached. "If you don't want to die, stay away! Master taught you Dan Dao, but can you really handle the two of us who practice swordsmanship in this situation?"

Li Huowang sighed lightly and looked somewhat helpless at the scene before him. "That's not even a real heavenly book. It's just an ancient text. I made up all those lies to trick Lai Zi Tou."

"Don't believe Lai Zi Tou's nonsense. This guy is full of lies. He said it was personally given by Lao Jun Ye, but with his character, it might have been stolen or looted. Let's go, three senior brothers."

Chang Ming and Chang Ren pinched their fingers with their left hand and wiped two black talismans on their swords. The entire room suddenly became chilly."Xuan Yang junior brother, since you don't want to get involved, then don't waste your breath, just leave."

Chang Ming and Chang Ren raised their long swords and said in unison.

Feeling Bai Lingmiao tremblingly pulling on his Dao robe, Li Huowang bowed to both sides and led everyone towards the entrance of Qingfeng Temple. "Those three senior brothers, you continue, we'll see you later."

As Li Huowang closed the gate, a noise began to sound from inside.

In the dark tunnel, a group of people returning home were walking excitedly, each holding a trembling oil lamp.

The tunnel was unfamiliar and rugged, and sometimes they had to climb with ropes. Li Huowang had never been here before, but he knew for sure that this was the exit of Qingfeng Temple because he saw everyone's hands shaking more and more violently.

After walking for about two sticks of incense, there was light in the distance of the cave. When they saw the light, everyone's steps became chaotic and they began to run.

As they ran, the distant light grew bigger and bigger, eventually encompassing everyone's vision.

In the moment of exiting the tunnel, almost everyone squinted their eyes. After living in the cave for so long, the outside was too bright for them.

As their eyes gradually adjusted to the light, the scenery outside Qingfeng Temple appeared before them.

The distant sky was just showing a hint of white, and the mountains and forests in the distance were pure and refreshing, like a faint ink painting.

At this moment, the first ray of morning light on the first day of the lunar new year pierced through the mist and shone on everyone's faces.

Li Huowang squinted at the sunrise in the sky and murmured, "Did I stay in the alchemy room with the baldy all night? The weather today is really nice."

Suddenly, someone next to him moved. It was a boy who burst into tears and quickly ran towards a small path that disappeared into the woods.

His running triggered a herd effect, and more and more people began to run towards that direction, wanting to run far away from this sad place.

After a while, only seven or eight people from the material room were left at the entrance of the cave, and they all looked at Li Huowang.

"Li senior brother, let's go too." Bai Lingmiao, with tears on her face, smiled happily."Wait a minute." Li Huowang said, taking out some pieces of paper from his pocket and stuffing them into Bai Lingmiao's arms. "These are the last words and addresses left by those dead medicine men. When you leave, on your way out, find a caravan to deliver them."

Bai Lingmiao held the pieces of paper in her hands, standing still and at a loss for words.

Li Huowang smiled at the remaining people, lifted the oil lamp in his hand, and turned around, walking alone towards the pitch-black Qingfeng Temple.
