Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Do others know?" Lin Yaoxie asked. If they all knew, then these wild people would really be difficult to control.

The ugly girl shook her head. "They don't know. Even Senior Brother Zhu Ran doesn't know that I do."

"Hmm?" Lin Yaoxie began to carefully examine the unremarkable ugly girl in front of him. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated her. She must have hidden herself perfectly in this place.

"Back then, I was thrown here by Mo Yan. Although Mo Yan found a wrong place to be here, he also told me a lot about the wilderness and gave me a lot of emergency medicine. Moreover, he would regularly push some daily necessities to me through the entrance you came in through, so that I could take care of Senior Brother Zhu Ran."

At that time, I was forcibly brought here by Mo Yan, and my face was disfigured. I was truly despondent, so instead of giving Zhu Ran all the necessities as I had promised Mo Yan, I secretly hid some of them, only leaving a few things that someone of my level should have in various places, letting Zhu Ran find them herself.

Lin Yaoxie nodded. That's right, Mo Yan is indeed ruthless. It's impressive that a young woman like her can think things through so thoroughly.

"Well, I've been hiding more and more medicines, and I'm worried that Zhu Ran will find out one day. So I started researching the properties of the medicines in the wilderness, learning to make medicines and treat patients myself. I would cure those that could be cured, and for those that couldn't be cured, I would use the medicines I had kept for a long time, so that these medicines could at least have a good reputation. Zhu Ran thought I was loyal and had no other intentions, so she gradually trusted me and stopped hiding some things from me."

Lin Yaoxie nodded. Gaining trust little by little was no easy feat.

"So, when I saw him concocting poison, I just pretended not to see it. I believed whatever he said and never argued back." The ugly girl's words were full of desolation and sorrow.

"You've had it tough too." Lin Yaoxie sighed; the ugly girl's luck was truly terrible. "You mean that entrance can transport not only people but also goods?"

Often, unexpected gains can be made during conversations, and if you can receive news from the other side... that would be wonderful.

"Go and guard the entrance for me now. Come back and tell me if there's any news!" Lin Yaoxie said.

Chapter 106 Leaving the Wilderness

Lin Yaoxie watched the ugly girl's departing figure, his feelings a mix of emotions. Some people wield immense power, acting solely for their own benefit, disregarding the lives of others. Mo Yan was truly utterly wicked. Once they were out of there, Lin Yaoxie would definitely settle this score with Mo Yan.

Seeing that Hua Qiangu showed no signs of waking up, Lin Yaoxie simply started wandering around the house.

"Squeak..." Zhu Ran's little fox was lying in a corner, whimpering, looking rather aggrieved and pitiful.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yaoxie truly felt that Zhu Ran's life was somewhat tragic. He had lived a carefree and smooth life in the first half, but in the second half, he learned of his mother's whereabouts, discovered his divine artifact, fell in love with the witch of the Seven Kills Sect, was pushed into the wilderness by his own father, and now he was dead. Yet no one mourned him; instead, there was only mockery and curses. He was even less worthy than the little fox he had raised. How pathetic!

Five days seemed to pass very quickly. Due to the loss of her internal energy, Hua Qiangu's body returned to its original state, closely following behind Lin Yaoxie.

"Brother Demon, have you found a way?" Lin Demon has read through all of Zhu Ran's notes these past two days, and even found the topographical map he drew, but...

They were still at a loss as to where to find the source. They could only shake their heads at Hua Qiangu.

“Don’t worry, I’m just trying other possibilities. If there’s no other way, we’ll go out through the Desolate Gate,” Lin Yaoxie said.

"Yes, Sister Su and the others are also pitiful people. Brother Yaoxie, why don't you take them with you?" In the past few days, Hua Qiangu has felt the Ugly Girl's meticulous care, so she naturally favors her.

“Your Sister Su is a good person, but the others all have their own thoughts. It’s simple for us to take them, but if we directly establish a connection between the two spaces…” Lin Yaoxie paused for a moment. To be honest, he didn’t really care what would happen if they established a connection. He just wanted to reduce the trouble for Hua Qiangu and the others in the future.

"Great hero... Great hero..." Uncle He's voice came from outside. He had been gone for several days, but he had never stopped providing for Lin Yaoxie and the others.

"It seems he's done the math," Lin Yaoxie said to Hua Qiangu, before walking out of the house first, with Hua Qiangu following behind.

"I have already compiled the list, please take a look, great hero." Uncle He took out a cloth roll from his pocket, carefully opened it, and let Lin Yaoxie look at it one by one.

Hua Qiangu leaned closer. The cloth roll was pieced together, and the characters on it were of various styles, but the strokes were clear enough for Lin Yaoxie to decipher.

word.

“Great hero…” Uncle He seemed to be waiting for Lin Yaoxie’s reply. In the past few days, many barbarians had been telling him about Lin Yaoxie’s actions. He himself had even secretly met up with the ugly girl. After discussing it, the two of them really felt that there was a high probability that Lin Yaoxie had gone out.

"Oh, nothing else, let's go back now," Lin Yaoxie said.

He Bo didn't leave. Instead, he knelt down devoutly. "Great hero, I know what you're hesitating about. We've been in this desolate place for too long, and we've had enough of this dark and gloomy place. As long as you're willing to take us out, we promise to follow your arrangements. We promise not to rob or plunder! We promise we will never harm the common people!"

Looking at Uncle He's appearance, Lin Yaoxie knew that his kneeling carried the weight of the entire Manghuang people's sentiments.

"Great hero, we've been here too long, and now we're all poisoned. If you don't take us out, we'll really just have to die here or be eaten by monsters! We beg you! Over the years, we've committed all sorts of mistakes, and we've all received the punishment we deserved! We beg you... we beg you, we're willing to serve you like slaves, or you can poison us again, and we'll follow you with unwavering loyalty!"

Hua Qiangu felt a pang of pity seeing the elderly man prostrate on the ground kowtowing repeatedly, and secretly tugged at Lin Yaoxie's arm.

"I've always said I'd take you out, but you yourselves didn't believe me." Lin Yaoxie's expression didn't change. He hadn't made any big moves in the past few days, just wandered around the wilderness, checked Zhu Ran's map, and noticed that the wilderness people were secretly observing him.

"If you need us to give you a guarantee, then I'm sorry, I don't have that habit." Lin Yaoxie held the roll of cloth in his hand. "I don't care how you were imprisoned in this wasteland, nor do I care how much you want to get out. I said from the beginning that if you followed my instructions, I would take you out. But you've repeatedly asked me for a guarantee. Why should I give you a guarantee? What was originally just a simple favor has turned into me doing you a service?"

Lin Yaoxie's temper was never good to begin with, and these barbarians kept spying on his actions one after another. Moreover, none of them initially rescued Hua Qiangu. Ultimately, they were selfish and self-serving!

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Hua Qiangu realized that her brother was indeed a little angry, so she quickly winked at Uncle He, "Alright, we understand, you should leave now!"

Uncle He quickly bowed to Lin Yaoxie again. This hero's temper was really different from the people before. He could easily see that everyone was using a gentle approach to gradually pressure him, and then he directly lost his temper, interrupting all their thoughts.

"It's here! It's here!" came the ugly girl's voice. For the past few days, she had been going to the one-way gate every hour to wait for something to be delivered. Five days had passed, and at noon, something arrived.

Lin Yaoxie took a small, exquisitely packaged box. It was clearly Zixun's work, as it was well-packaged. He quickly folded it over and revealed its original appearance.

"The Gate of the Wilderness, at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM)," Hua Qiangu read aloud the words above.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, it seems either Dongfang and the others haven't found a way, or the way lies within the Gate of the Wilderness. But now that a message has arrived from outside, why not just head straight for the Gate of the Wilderness!

"Xiao Gu, go pack your things, we're leaving right away." Lin Yaoxie said, then turned to look at Uncle He, who had stopped in the courtyard after hearing the news. "Uncle He, go tell everyone to gather and line up according to the list, then we'll go to the Gate of the Wilderness together."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Uncle He quickly agreed, afraid that if he agreed too late, Lin Yaoxie would change his mind.

"Sister Su, you should pack your things too! Let's go together!" Hua Qiangu said, squeezing the ugly girl's hand.

Chapter 107 The Conspiracy Exposed

The sandstorms grew stronger, and more and more of the wild people could no longer stand. They could only support each other as they moved forward, and their pace slowed down.

Lin Yaoxie spread the golden light into the shape of an umbrella, protecting Hua Qiangu, Ugly Girl, Uncle He, and the others behind him, ensuring their smooth progress.

"Brother Demon, how much longer?"

Although the golden light blocked most of the sandstorms that Hua Qiangu faced, the closer she got to the Gate of the Wilderness, the more she walked on quicksand, no longer on yellow soil, and no longer on plants.

Therefore, each time I lift my foot, it feels particularly strenuous.

Hua Qiangu's back gradually became covered in fine sweat, and her clothes felt cool to the touch.

"At our current pace, it should take another whole day."

Uncle He sighed and said.

He was in a better position, having already adapted to the wild weather, and was also protected by the golden light of the demonic forest.

But the other barbarians weren't as lucky as him; some had even fallen far behind.

"Oh, it's really too far!" Hua Qiangu said.

She frowned; she was indeed quite tired from walking, but Lin Yaoxie didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

"tired?"

Lin Yaoxie pulled her into his arms and touched her nose, which was covered in dust and dirt that had somehow gotten on it.

Hua Qiangu nodded and pointed towards her calf:

250 "I can barely walk anymore! The sand here is soft at first, but it keeps pulling me down, making it hard to lift my legs. My calves are really swollen and painful now!"

"I'll hold you for a while." Lin Yaoxie said, then picked Hua Qiangu up and held her in his arms. "Next time, tell me earlier if you're tired."

Hua Qiangu turned her face away shyly, saying, "I...I'd better walk by myself! Everyone's watching!"

A slight smile appeared on Lin Yaoxie's lips. "Let them watch!"

In his world, he never cares what others think.

Hua Qiangu was injured twice and underwent a marrow cleansing and bone tempering process in between, so her body was already a bit weak. Now she's just tired from walking. If I carry her for a while, do I have to explain it to the others?

Looking at Lin Yaoxie's profile, Hua Qiangu felt a surge of warmth. When did she start treating Lin Yaoxie differently?

From accompanying him to Mount Shu, to dining with him, to protecting him from behind... there are so many things.

As the ugly girl watched Lin Yaoxie and Hua Qiangu's actions, a lot of things passed through her eyes.

She recalled the first time she met Zhu Ran. At that time, Zhu Ran was still the dignified senior brother of Changliu. He brought her a bowl of soup, but it spilled.

Zhu Ran wasn't angry; instead, she considerately told her not to burn herself. At that moment, Zhu Ran was gentle, radiant in the sunlight.

Later, she secretly watched Zhu Ran many, many times, and saw more sides of Zhu Ran. She searched for his mother like a madwoman and fell in love with the Seven Killings Demoness without regard for her own life.

Yes, at first, she and Zhu Ran were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

Later, Zhu Ran's appearance was disfigured and she was tortured. Mo Yan saw that she reacted differently from others, so he threw her into the wilderness.

She had watched with her own eyes as the person she loved gradually descended from his pedestal and transformed into a demon.

It wore away all her love, leaving only hatred and regret day after day.

"We're here!" Uncle He said, pointing to the desolate gate a hundred meters or so away.

Lin Yaoxie looked closely and saw that the so-called Desolate Gate was actually two very tall gates that appeared on the endless mountain range to the north.

Because the door had not been opened for many years, the middle was covered with mud and ash, and if you didn't look closely, you would think it was part of the mountain.

"Brother Demon, it's almost time!"

Under Lin Yaoxie's care, Hua Qiangu has recovered some of her strength.

"Uncle He, give the order: everyone line up and follow behind me!" Lin Yaoxie said.

If those barbarians were to try to break through that hundred-meter barrier on their own, it would be far too difficult.

So Lin Yaoxie changed his approach. He stood at the very front of the group, extending the golden light to protect the group within a hundred meters behind him. The rest of the group resisted the wind and sand by using each other's strength to form a human wall.

The barbarians acted swiftly. In their eyes, Lin Yaoxie was now an incarnation of a god, and they were willing to do anything to get him out of the wilderness.

Hua Qiangu stood behind Lin Yaoxie, watching him unleash the Compassionate Life Sword, extending its golden light far beyond the ranks behind him. Her expression turned unusually serious.

The ugly girl followed closely behind Hua Qiangu. She longed to leave this place, the place where all her dreams had shattered.

If there were any hope, she wished this place would disappear forever.

Closely following the ugly girl was Uncle He. Under Lin Yaoxie's guidance, he had long since stopped asking vague and unrealistic questions, and instead diligently followed behind Lin Yaoxie, silently...

The road ahead is full of anticipation.

Lin Yaoxie led the long procession, approaching the Gate of the Wilderness step by step. The closer they got, the more they felt the biting sandstorm mixed with the solemnity of ice, which struck the surrounding golden light with a series of thuds.

Hua Qiangu nervously gripped Lin Yaoxie's sleeve.

Lin Yaoxie placed his hand on the Gate of the Wilderness. Because the two doors had been closed for a long time, the boundary between them was no longer distinguishable. The force of his fingers did not make a sound, which showed that the thickness of the doors was truly extraordinary.

"You evil brother!"

Hua Qiangu looked at Lin Yaoxie and assumed a slashing stance, and asked nervously.

She was really worried: Was there really a door here? Could this door really be opened?

"I'm testing the door's resilience!" Lin Yaoxie explained.

The agreed time is fast approaching, and he needs to determine the door's load-bearing capacity so that the inside and outside can work together to achieve great results!
