CH 358

Beside the swaying bonfire, Li Huowang listened as his girlfriend Bai Lingmiao continued to speak. "To judge others by oneself, I am the same. The past Bai Lingmiao was Bai Lingmiao, and the present Bai Lingmiao is also Bai Lingmiao, a better Bai Lingmiao!"

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to emit a radiance.

"Also, don't forget, you killed my entire family." This sentence sent a shiver down Li Huowang's spine.

"In the past, I struggled with both sides and couldn't let go. I couldn't forgive you, nor could I let go of my deceased family members."

"But now, I am different. I already know they were from the White Lotus Cult and understand what they wanted to do to you, so I can only say that you didn't kill the wrong people. If you didn't kill them, you would have been the one to die."

"You see, I think much more clearly now, without hesitation or pain!"

Hearing this, Li Huowang suddenly felt that the Bai Lingmiao in front of him was very unfamiliar, like another person.

If he had to compare her to someone, it would undoubtedly be Peng Longteng.

The current Bai Lingmiao's tone and behavior were both becoming more like Peng Longteng's, and he didn't want that.

Just then, another soft body hugged Li Huowang from behind, and a forked, slender tongue slid across his ear.

Feeling Twin Soul, Li Huowang trembled and quickly stood up from the embrace, looking at the two on the ground with some fear.

Li Huowang's actions naturally caught the attention of others, and he forced a smile on his face. "I'm going to get some water."

When he saw Jixiang looking his way, Li Huowang glanced over at the dark forest beside them and walked in first.

Not long after, Jixiang unsurprisingly walked into the woods, grinning at Li Huowang.

"Earl, do you need anything? If there's anything we can help with, we'll definitely help."

After thinking about what Bai Lingmiao had said earlier, Li Huowang asked him, "Lord Jixiang, is there a way to remove the qi of the soldiers from my body? Do you have any acquaintances in the Bingjia of Daliang? If it's convenient, can you introduce me to them?"

Jixiang glanced at the bonfire and said, "Sure, that's not a big deal."

If it weren't for Li Huowang today, this group might have really failed. This small favor was nothing.

Of course, he only said he would introduce him, and it wasn't necessary for him to personally help Li Huowang with whatever he wanted to do with the Bingjia.

After Jixiang finished speaking, he remembered the frightening incident that had just occurred.

"Fortunately, this matter has been resolved. I'm waiting to see if I can give a gift to my godson and move to another yamen. The Jiantiansi is really not a place for people.""Thank you, Master Ji Xiang," Li Huowang thanked him.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had to work hard to restore Bai Lingmiao to normal.

"Alright, is there anything else? If not, let's leave. We still have to continue on the road tomorrow," Ji Xiang said, just about to leave, when he and Li Huowang turned to look at the forest beside them. "Someone's there!"

In the middle of nowhere at night, a beam of light suddenly shot out, which was obviously not right.

Li Huowang quickly drew two ginger-yellow papers with his own blood to create a talisman, which he pasted on his knee. With his body leaving an afterimage, he rushed towards the direction of the light.

After a few rapid changes in expression, Ji Xiang quickly returned to the campfire and stared at the heart impure corpse to prevent the other party from using diversionary tactics.

Li Huowang quickly shuttled through the woods and got closer and closer to the person.

Seeing that the person was still moving, Li Huowang raised his knife and cut off one of his own fingers.

The finger in mid-air quickly sprouted bone spurs and flew rapidly towards the person in the distance.

As expected, it hit the person. When Li Huowang arrived in front of him, he finally saw what the person looked like.

At first glance, Li Huowang's pupils shrank slightly. This thing looked like a person, but its body was abnormally thin, and the thin layer of skin on its body was completely supported by its skeleton. Its two big whale-like eyes bulged out as if they could fall out at any time. Its mouth was concave and there were hardly any teeth left, and the remaining teeth grew haphazardly.

For a moment, Li Huowang couldn't distinguish whether this thing in front of him was a person or some kind of evil spirit.

Facing the weapon in Li Huowang's hand, this thing had no fear in its eyes, just a silly grin.

"Did we fall into a trap?" Li Huowang, who had doubts, did not hesitate to break the limbs of this thing and carry it towards the campfire.

When he returned to the campfire, he saw that everyone was there, including the heart impure corpse, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Ji Xiang, do you know this thing? It was staring at us in the forest just now," Li Huowang dragged the thing in front of Ji Xiang.

"Oh?" Just as Ji Xiang walked forward to examine it with doubt, a voice of extreme fear suddenly came from behind.

Li Huowang turned his head and saw that it was Hong Da.

At this moment, Hong Da looked at the thing with deep fear in his eyes. "This... is a person hidden by the heart impure! If it weren't for the heart impure releasing them, then..."

In the next moment, he seemed to be possessed by something and began to gnaw on the rotten mud on the ground, his fear even deeper.

"It's tasteless, there's nothing! We went in early! I don't know when we were hidden by this heart impure!" This made everyone's hearts chill as they looked around at the pitch-black forest.

Ji Xiang rushed over and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! The heart impure we were supposed to catch is already dead! A dead heart impure cannot hide us all! Could there be another one?"

Hearing this, Li Huowang's heart trembled. "Master Ji Xiang, there is indeed another heart impure that hasn't died yet, the female heart impure from before.""What? A female Xin Zhuo? Isn't there only one Xin Zhuo?"

At this moment, everyone was looking at Li Huowang, making him doubt if he had guessed wrong.

However, after looking at the scar on his arm, he shook his head vigorously. His memory was not wrong; it was their memory of this part that had been hidden.

"No! We came here to capture the female Xin Zhuo, not this man."

"Where is the female Xin Zhuo then?" Ji Xiang's words became extremely sharp at this moment, and cold sweat slowly slid down his cheeks.

Li Huowang pointed to the male Xin Zhuo's corpse on the ground, "She's hidden in the karma barrier."

As soon as Li Huowang said this, Ji Xiang's face instantly turned pale, and his legs gave out, causing him to collapse on the ground.

"Once the living and dead Xin Zhuo come together, the dead one is hidden in the living one, and the living one is hidden in the dead one. It's over, we're all done for!"
