Chapter 96: Ji Ying's Death

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After passing through the city wall and exiting Ding'an City, Lin Yan carried a medicine bag with a solemn expression, not knowing if he should return to the Ji Village.

He decided to walk out slowly first. There was an empty farmland outside Ding'an City. If the two of them really followed him, at least this large piece of dilapidated farmland outside Ding'an City could not conceal them.

The moonlight was just right, shining on the dilapidated fields and covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

On the entire ridge, other than an abandoned farm cart without wooden wheels, there was almost no place to hide.

He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Just as he walked to the middle of the empty farmland, a loud bang suddenly came from Ding'an City behind him.

BANG!

The east gate of Ding'an City suddenly exploded, and a figure covered in blood flew out from the gate. He knocked open the tall city gate and fell into the farmland, plowing a ravine more than 100 feet long.

Lin Yan's pupils constricted. That person was covered in blood, but Lin Yan recognized him from afar because of the man s obviously unfit clothes. It was Ji Ying, who claimed to be from the Demon Suppression Division!

Who could injure him so badly!

Lin Yan was alarmed. He quickly looked around and saw that the abandoned cart was not far from the right rear field ridge.

He immediately used the fastest speed in his life and flashed in an instant. He bent down and hid behind the board of the farm cart. He shrank his entire body and held his breath.

The moonlight was quiet. Through the gaps in the carriage, Lin Yan saw that Ji Ying was severely injured. All the tendons and bones in his body seemed to have broken. He was lying on the ground like a worm, squirming with difficulty.

About a breath later, a thin young man in green walked out of Ding'an City behind him as if he was taking a walk.

This young man's aura was extremely special. With just one look, Lin Yan felt that he was incompatible with the entire Ding'an City.

Especially that pair of golden-framed round glasses. They were very exquisite and did not look like they could be made by a craftsman of this era.

This feeling was the same as when he saw the snow-white gilded Thunder Token paper back then. It was as if it did not belong to this era. It appeared in this era and was very incongruous.

The young man walked step by step to Ji Ying's side. He bent down and grabbed Ji Ying's hair, as if he was whispering something.

The more Ji Ying listened, the more shocked he became. Under the moonlight, there was an extreme horror.

In the end, the young man took out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed it into Ji Ying's back. Blood gushed out of Ji Ying's mouth and nose, twitching.

The young man stood up again and rubbed his fingers. He waved his hand behind him and walked into Ding'an City.

Two leather-armored soldiers quickly ran out of the city gate behind him.

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He was in the other party's blind spot and was hiding behind the car panel before the other party left the city. It was impossible for the other party to discover him.

However, when Lin Yan's gaze swept across Ji Ying, who was on his last breath, his muscles suddenly tensed up.

Ji Ying's neck was tilted, and the side of his face was stuck to the mud. His almost gray eyes were staring in his direction!

Lin Yan's heart seemed to be clenched tightly. When Ji Ying was sent flying just now, not only did Lin Yan see him, but he also saw Lin Yan!

Ji Ying's hand weakly pointed at the ground under him at a subtle frequency.

He opened and closed his mouth in Lin Yan's direction. From the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be saying, “In the ground, in the ground…”

Did this mean that he had buried something in the ground?

It was not until Ji Ying's body was completely soft and his fingers and mouth were completely motionless that Lin Yan's tensed muscles relaxed bit by bit. His back was cold and he was already drenched.

It was obvious that Ji Ying knew that he couldn't live, so he took the opportunity to bury something in the ground, hoping that Lin Yan would get it.

The soldiers dragged Ji Ying back, and the city gate closed again.

The moon rose to the sky and Lin Yan waited for another half an hour.

Lin Yan stood up carefully and ran towards the Guangchuan Mountains.

As for what Ji Ying buried in the ground… what did it have to do with him?

Not to mention that in such an emergency, Ji Ying must have hoped that he could help send a message or contact someone. The things left behind were most likely troublesome.

Even if he left something good behind, Lin Yan could not take it. Who knew if he would get into trouble?

It was already a blessing in disguise that he could escape safely after encountering such a matter. If he interfered again, would he be trying to get killed?

With Ji Ying dead, there was no need to worry about being followed. Lin Yan let go of his feet and killed a few blind wolves along the way. Soon, he approached the Ji Village.

As he ran, the ground suddenly trembled slightly. The bushes on the ground swayed left and right, and the surrounding trees swayed slightly. The branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making rustling sounds.

Lin Yan's expression changed slightly. Another earthquake!

The source of the earthquake was still very far from here, so the tremors transmitted were very light.

Lin Yan quickened his pace again and immediately rushed back to the Ji Village.

He entered the door.

“Miss Xie, you guys?”

Xie Lingyan and Pang Feiyan stood in front of Xiaozhi's bed.

“Master, Miss suddenly broke out in sweat. Her face was so pale that it was scary. I-I was afraid, so I invited Miss Xie to take a look.”

Xie Lingyan nodded. “Feiyan knows a little about medicine, so I brought her here to take a look.”

Lin Yan immediately sat in front of the bed. The sweat on Xiaozhi's forehead had already been wiped dry, but her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was experiencing immense pain. Her body was tense.

It was the same symptoms as last time…

Lin Yan suppressed his anxiety. “Miss Pang, can you tell what's wrong with Xiaozhi?”

Pang Feiyan scratched her head and said, “Her pulse is very calm and there's nothing abnormal. It's exactly the same as when a normal person sleeps. I… 1 can't tell what the problem is. Why don't you get some calming herbs to feed her first?”

Lin Yan sighed slightly. The doctor had said the same thing when he went to the medical center.

He immediately took out the calming soup he had bought and handed it to Xiao Lu to boil.

Xie Lingyan asked, “Xiaozhi had such symptoms before?”

Lin Yan nodded. “She had the symptoms before. This time… it's more serious than last time.”

Last time, she was just sleepy, but if Lin Yan kept calling her, Xiaozhi would still wake up for a while. However, this time, Xiaozhi actually did not wake up.

Pang Feiyan squatted in front of Xiaozhi, her round face close to Xiaozhi's side. “Don't tell me you're frightened? But the tremor here is very light. However, this symptom is a little like…”

Her body suddenly trembled and she took two steps back. Her face turned pale. “It's a little like the ghost pressing the bed in the story?”

Lin Yan:“…”

After sending Pang Feiyan and Xie Lingyan off, Lin Yan frowned and sat by Xiaozhi's bed. He picked up the venison porridge that Xiao Lu had sent over and fed it to Xiaozhi.

Ordinary people would be restricted in their ability to swallow when they were unconscious or asleep. If they were forcefully fed, they would choke or even suffocate.

However, Xiaozhi's coma was very strange. She could swallow normally.

It was as if she had only shut down her consciousness, but all the other functions of his body could work normally.

“Xiaozhi's illness is definitely related to the earthquake…”

After feeding her the porridge, Lin Yan stood up and walked to the closed wooden window. He pushed it open and looked into the distance, as if he could see the mountaintop filled with poisonous fog through the mountain range.

“What secrets are hidden there?”

The next morning, Xiaozhi took her medicine and porridge, but she still did not wake up.

Lin Yan instructed Xiao Lu to take good care of her before heading straight for the mountain that was filled with poisonous creatures.

Xiaozhi's illness had something to do with the earthquake. Even if it was dangerous, Lin Yan had to find out.

According to the map he had recorded, he ran along the winding mountain path and quickly approached the mountaintop he had gone to yesterday.

“Huh?”

Lin Yan made a mistake and stepped on a crack, stopping his body.

Aii arrow flew over and nailed to the mud in front of his feet. It splattered mud and dust and buzzed.

If he had not stopped quickly, this arrow would have hit his heart.

He turned around and saw a burly man in black leather armor holding a bow and arrow in the dense forest beside him. His face was filled with shock, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Yan could dodge the arrow.

Seeing Lin Yan's gaze, he hurriedly drew his bow and nocked an arrow again. He locked onto Lin Yan's vital points from afar and shouted coldly, “Friend, my Wang family has occupied this place. If you want to find an opportunity, please take a detour.”

However, when he saw the crack under Lin Yan's feet, his face subconsciously turned pale.

“Wang Family? Which Wang Family?”

“Of course it's the Wang family of Chengping District!”

A glint flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. He had heard Chen Yuan mention that this was Wang Qingtong and Wang Qinggang's family.

The man in black leather armor could tell that his gaze was not right. He subconsciously took a step back and shouted in a trembling voice, “Don't tell me you dare to go against the Wang family!”

Lin Yan's gaze swept behind him. He tensed his bow and his body was like lightning, instantly enlarging in front of the man in black leather armor.

The man in leather armor was shocked. “Don't come over!”

His fingers loosened, and the bowstring trembled. He pushed the end of the arrow and was about to shoot out.

However, a large hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the intersection between the bow and the arrow on the back of the bow. It forcefully pressed the arrow on the back of the bow and interrupted the process of the bowstring ejection.

BANG!

A kick that was like a steel whip struck the waist of the leather-armored man. It directly kicked him into the air and sent him flying, breaking an ancient tree.

Lin Yan raised the bow in his hand and loosened it slightly. The bowstring was pulled taut, and the arrow shot out, drilling into the mud dozens of feet away. The bow also flew up and rolled twice before landing on the ground.

Then, he walked to the heavily injured man in leather armor.. “Tell me, how many of you have entered the mountain?”
