Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 141

Yan Lingji felt dizzy and her eyelids were heavy, as if they had been filled with molten iron. She tried to open them, but it was very difficult. Meanwhile, clearer and clearer images gradually appeared in her mind.

I was captured and locked in a water cage. I don't know how much time passed, but then some red powder appeared in the cage, and then I lost consciousness.

When the word "coma" appeared in her mind, it was like a thunderbolt. Coma, what will happen after a coma?

Yan Lingji opened her eyes in fright, only to find herself stuffed into a box lined with soft silk. Her eyes darted around and she saw a familiar yet hateful figure from behind.

"Lord Sikong, although this fairy is beautiful, her supernatural abilities are extremely powerful. She can control flames and her temperament is as violent as a raging fire. If it weren't for a chance encounter back then, I wouldn't have been able to capture her. Therefore, when you enjoy her, Lord Sikong, you must use this item."

"What is this?"

"A divine medicine that can put fairies into a deep sleep and make them retract their fangs."

The sounds of their conversation echoed in Yan Lingji's ears, and the memories in her mind gradually came together. At this moment, she understood her situation.

She was simply being given away, to this so-called Lord Sikong.

The thought that someone who needs to be fawned over by his enemies must be an old man made Yan Lingji feel nauseous.

However, judging from the voice, it didn't seem to be an old man. No, this is not the time for such thoughts. Yan Lingji quickly shook off these unnecessary ideas; she couldn't afford to worry about them now.

Yan Lingji tried to circulate her qi and blood and found that a wisp of true qi had appeared in her body. As this wisp of true qi circulated, the stagnation of qi and blood caused by being stuffed in the box for a long time was restored, and the drowsiness caused by the sleeping drug was also gradually disappearing.

Feeling the extra wisp of true energy within her body, Yan Lingji was puzzled, wondering where this wisp of true energy came from, but she was certain that someone was helping her.

However, for her now, the most important thing is to escape from here. As for other things, such as seeking the truth or repaying a debt of gratitude, those can be dealt with later.

As Yan Lingji gradually gained control of her body, she suddenly burst out of the wooden box. If it were anyone else, they would definitely choose to run away at this moment. However, she had become an assassin since childhood. Compared to the alluring charm she developed as an adult, ruthlessness had accompanied her since childhood. Therefore, in the instant she was freed, she did not think of running away, but of attacking her enemies.

A blur of motion shot out, flames emanating from her palm. She struck the back of the Nanyang Captain, who was speaking to her with his back turned. Caught off guard, the Nanyang Captain instinctively fell to the ground. He was still wearing his armor, which prevented him from being seriously injured. However, Yan Lingji's attack still left him breathless. To make matters worse, Yan Lingji's fire ignited the clothes under his armor.

Yan Lingji's sudden attack and injury happened in an instant, and the guards of the Sikong Mansion rushed in.

Seeing the armored soldiers rushing in, Yan Lingji, who had not yet fully recovered, realized that now was not the time for revenge. She activated her blazing flames and shot them out in all directions. What she wanted now was not to hurt people, but to create chaos, escape from this place in the chaos, and then rebuild her power to find an opportunity for revenge.

The sudden burst of flames did cause some chaos. Yang Che looked at the raging flames but did not stop them. Instead, he looked on with curiosity. Yan Lingji's fire was a bit peculiar. Although the temperature was not too high, it was highly flammable. No, to be precise, her flames burned the air, not a physical object.

Is this what they call a special talent? How interesting.

Amidst the chaos, Yan Lingji found an opportunity to break through. She dodged several spears aimed at her, darted out of the window, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant amidst shouts.

The flames on Nanyang Captain's body had been extinguished, but his face was extremely pale. This was not because Yan Lingji's move was too powerful, but simply because he was frightened.

He presented Yan Lingji to Yang Che as a rare treasure, hoping that Yang Che would show him leniency when reviewing the military registers. It can be said that he came with a request when he gave the gift.

But now, the gift meant to please Yang Che has suddenly turned into an assassin, causing chaos in the Sikong Mansion. Instead of showing goodwill, it has offended him.

If Yang Che were to conclude that he was in cahoots with the assassins and had conspired beforehand to assassinate him, then he would truly be doomed.

"Lord Sikong, I don't know why she suddenly woke up. The dose of the sleeping potion was enough to keep her asleep for a long time. She shouldn't have woken up at this time," the Nanyang captain hurriedly explained to Yang Che, ignoring the pain from the burns on his body.

Yang Che remained silent. How could he not know how Yan Lingji had woken up? However, he had no intention of explaining it to the Nanyang Captain.

Now, Nanyang has been thoroughly investigated, leaving only the army. The Nanyang Commandant is in charge of the most elite troops in Nanyang, so it can be said that he is an indispensable figure in what is to come.

Yang Che has not yet decided whether to accept the Nanyang Commandant's overtures.

Yang Che's silence was interpreted as suspicion by the Nanyang Captain. The more he thought about what Yang Che's suspicion meant for him, the more frightened the Nanyang Captain became.

"Lord Sikong, you must believe me, I really don't know why that beauty suddenly woke up." The Nanyang Captain became even more humble. If he couldn't dispel Yang Che's suspicions at this moment, he would risk everything, because he really couldn't bear the consequences.

"Alright, no need to explain. You're a captain, after all. Even if you wanted to harm me, you wouldn't resort to such low-level tactics," Yang Che said indifferently.

"Lord Sikong—" Yang Che's trust reassured the Nanyang Captain slightly, but Yang Che's indifference made him uneasy.

"Since the gift has already been given away, you should leave. I have a lot of official business to attend to here," Yang Che said, giving him the order to leave.

"Lord Sikong—" Cold sweat instantly beaded on the forehead of the Nanyang Captain, but Yang Che had already spoken, and if he continued to pester him, it would only further offend Yang Che.

Finally, this captain, who was considered a prominent figure in Nanyang, left the Sikong Mansion in a daze, filled with fear and unease about the impending military register investigation.

Is it possible for him to get through this hurdle?

Regardless of how anxious the Nanyang Commandant was, Yang Che went directly to his study after seeing off his guests. Although he had been in Nanyang all year, he was still very aware of every development in Xinzheng.

Many things happened in Nanyang this year, and some things are about to happen.

For example, last year, a young man entered Xinzheng and took over the Seven Wonders Hall. In just one year, he developed the Seven Wonders Hall into the largest underground force in Xinzheng. For example, two members of the royal family went bankrupt because of their investment in Huanhua Tower. Now they are preparing to cooperate with Nightfall to make a quick buck.

There are many more examples like this.
