Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Blood Debt Blood Repaynt_1
A large room, with two wide floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, hung with thick black curtains.
In the entire room, only a Luminous Pearl embedded in the ceiling at the furthest end provides light. The light from the Luminous Pearl is soft but not very bright, and combined with the large room, it causes a rather dim atmosphere.
At the far end of the room, there’s a square platform with a lamp placed on top, or to be exact, an extinguished lamp.
A man dressed in a long black robe is standing not far from the platform, staring at the extinguished lamp with tight lips, his expression gloomy.
A few steps behind him stands a man dressed similarly to Mo Long — a Great General. Unlike the man in the black robe, his expression conveys deep sorrow and anger.
The Great General, unable to contain his frustration caused by the silent man in the black robe, steps forward and exclaims loudly, "Sage Ruler, sothing must have happened to Brother Mo Long. Please teleport
to the Human World as well, I want to take revenge for Brother Mo Long."
The man in the black robe shakes his head slowly, his voice deep and low, "Ti has passed. The Yang energy has revived, and the ti tunnel can no longer be opened."
The man in the black robe’s gaze remains fixated on the extinguished lamp. The wick of this lamp was made from Mo Long’s hair, Mo Long’s fresh blood was dripped into it, and with the addition of Magic Spells, it beca a Life lamp.
The lamp was specially created for Mo Long by the man in the black robe before he went to the Human World, to keep track of the situation’s developnt.
Now, Mo Long’s Life lamp has been extinguished for two days, and shows no signs of reviving.
Despite his reluctance to accept it, the man in the black robe clearly understands that Mo Long probably will never return.
"Sage Ruler, are we just going to let it be?" The Great General standing behind the man in the black robe asked unwillingly.
The man in the black robe slowly closed his eyes, reopened them after a few seconds, a flash of sharpness in his eyes. With a cruel, bloodthirsty voice he said, "I underestimated him. Don’t worry, if he has the capability, he’ll return on the night of the fifteenth of the seventh month. All we need to do is wait, capturing turtles in a jar."
The Great General’s face showed understanding as he held his hand over his heart and saluted the man in the black robe, respectfully saying, "Sage Ruler is wise. If he dares to co back, he will surely pay with his blood for the blood he owes."
The terms "blood for blood" interrupted the calm of the man in the black robe. After all, Ye You is the real debt collector.
"Leave." The man in the black robe waved his hand in annoyance.
The simple-minded Great General, unclear why his master was suddenly angry, didn’t dare to say another word, he saluted and retreated, leaving the dimly lit room.
The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and the light from the Luminous Pearl seed sowhat gloomy.
"Ye You, I’m waiting for you. Let’s see who is the real Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm."
His emotionless voice echoed deeply, the gloomy light seed to fluctuate slightly, then vanished into the boundless silence.
Ye You and Qin Sisi were still unaware that the Demon Sacred Realm had prepared a trap for them, the route back on the fifteenth of the seventh month would be extrely perilous.
After teasing Ye You, Qin Sisi held her hand over Ye You’s eyes.
Those purple eyes seed to have the ability to see through everything, revealing all secrets in his presence.
"Don’t scramble to say sothing, I haven’t finished asking my question yet!" Qin Sisi took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Alright, ask," Ye You replied gently while being blindfolded, "I will answer everything I know."
Qin Sisi listened to Ye You’s serious tone, relaxed her hand, and asked softly, "How did you know that the person hunting you would co on the night of Qingming Festival?"
Ye You put away his teasing expression and answered seriously, "The ti when the Yin energy is heaviest in the Human World is during the Zhongyuan Festival on the fifteenth of July, followed by the Qingming Festival. If a person’s magic is strong enough, they can also use so special tools to open the ti tunnel on Qingming."
Qin Sisi demonstrated an understanding expression, "So, you were sure that a person would co?"
Ye You shook his head, "I wasn’t sure. I just had a feeling, that he would not likely pass up this opportunity."
"He?" Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with confusion, wanting to know who this "he" referred to.
But Ye You did not answer this question.
Qin Sisi waited for a mont, and then asked, "Why does ’he’ want to kill you?"
Ye You remained silent.
Qin Sisi did not ask anymore, yet she felt a tiny bit of sadness in her heart. Ye You still wasn’t willing to open his heart to her.
Just when she thought she wouldn’t receive an answer, Ye You suddenly spoke up gently, "Sisi, so things, I’ll tell you once we’re in the Demon Sacred Realm, okay?"
Ye You’s gaze was sincere as he quietly waited for Qin Sisi’s response. If she insisted on knowing, he was willing to tell her imdiately, he just didn’t want her to bear as much pressure as him.
Qin Sisi made eye contact with Ye You for a mont, and nodded her head, "Okay."
Since Ye You still didn’t want to speak, she wouldn’t force him, hoping that one day, Ye You would take the initiative to tell her.
Qin Sisi no longer pondered the previous questions, and instead asked, "How are your injuries?"
Ye You paused before saying, "Just two more days of rest and I’ll be fine."
However, having spent a significant amount of ti together, Qin Sisi deeply understood Ye You’s behavior, and at this mont, she keenly noticed the abnormality in his tone.
Qin Sisi held Ye You’s fluffy paw, her expression serious as she said, "I want the truth."
Ye You’s eyes darkened, he remained silent for a long ti before saying, "The Magic Source is damaged, and it will probably take a year to fully recover."
The curse restricted the output of Magic Power, while Ye You forcibly drew on Magic Power, which ultimately led to the damage of the Magic Source.
Qin Sisi couldn’t see Ye You’s Magic Source, but when Ye You had just returned, he had already checked it himself. There were several tiny cracks on the spiral body of his Magic Source.
His magic was acquired through systematic learning, naturally he knew what this ant.
If there’s another situation where he forcibly draws on Magic Power, causing the damage to the Magic Source to worsen, it could possibly lead to the Magic Source breaking completely. At that point, he would no longer be able to use magic.
Ye You’s almost imperceptible sigh caught Qin Sisi’s eye, and only then did she realize the price Ye You had paid in this battle.
Holding Ye You’s paw, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but feel a sourness well up in her eyes. Ye You quickly comforted her, "Don’t worry, as long as I don’t forcibly draw on Magic Power in the future, the Magic Source will recover within a year at most."
"But..." Qin Sisi was worried, but she didn’t dare say too much so as not to add to Ye You’s ntal burden.
"There are no buts," Ye You said firmly, "If we can get through this, we can get through the next one."
