Thank you all! My book has already climbed to the top of the recommendation list, so as promised, I will update three times today! One in the morning, one at 3 PM, and one at 9 PM! Thank you for your support! I continue to seek all kinds of support! I will keep up the momentum.
Inside the tent, Yin Wufu, Yin Wulu, and Yin Wushou were being held captive.
At the entrance, a mature disciple of the Emei Sect, Jingxuan, was on guard.
Seeing Song Shaohua arrive, Jingxuan looked at him and said, "Young Master, you've been busy all day and fought a fierce battle. Why not rest early?"
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Sister Jingxuan, you've worked hard. Let me take over the watch for you tonight."
Jingxuan was already exhausted, but with the order from Extermination, she dared not let him take over. She shook her head hurriedly.
Lin Qing insisted, "Sister Jingxuan, I'm young and not afraid of fatigue. You should go rest. If the Master asks tomorrow, I will tell her it was my insistence. She won't blame you."
Jingxuan thought about it. These three were captured by Song Qingshu, and her master had a high opinion of him, praising him without end. There should be no problem. She no longer insisted, checked the ropes of the three men, and then went to rest.
Lin Qing watched Jingxuan leave and observed the surroundings.
When setting up the camp, he had specifically instructed that the tent holding the captured members of the Cult of Evil should be far from the main camp. It was about 300 meters away from Extermination and Yin Liting's tents.
With the thick tent blocking the way, any sounds would not reach there.
He smiled coldly, turned, and entered the tent.
Yin Wufu and the others were in a mess. Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou were severely injured, bleeding profusely.
Lin Qing had stabbed them several times, and Extermination, who hated evil, had shown mercy by not beheading them. How could they expect her to provide medicine?
Seeing Lin Qing arrive, the three men's eyes seemed to spout anger, and they sat up, but the ropes were tied in a way that made them tighter the more they struggled, leaving them unable to move.
"Alright, brave men," Lin Qing said with a smile, "I've come to bring you medicine for your injuries."
He opened his palm, revealing two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao.
Seeing the medicine that should have been theirs, but was now being used by Lin Qing to play the good guy, the three men were furious.
However, Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou's injuries were severe, and they were bleeding profusely. Without the Yunnan Baiyao to stop the bleeding, they might lose half their lives by dawn!
Yin Wulu said coldly, "A weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year. What evil intentions do you have?"
Lin Qing shook his head and tsked, "Oh, you really are like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart. I went out of my way to get the medicine from the spoils of war and brought it to you without Extermination's knowledge. To treat me like this... "
The three men exchanged glances. They had seen Song Qingshu plead for them with Extermination earlier that day. There was nothing suspicious about him bringing medicine now.
Although they didn't know Lin Qing's intentions, their guard was slightly lowered.
"Unsolicited kindness," Yin Wufu said, "What is your scheme?"
Lin Qing said calmly, "Nothing else. I know you must have a lot of good things on you. With so many people around during the day, it was hard to search you. Now I want to make a deal with you."
"Hmph! This is the face of a disciple of a prestigious sect," Yin Wufu mocked, "Clearly extortion!"
"You can choose not to tell me," Lin Qing shrugged, "But I'm the guard now. By dawn, you two will be left with half a life. Is your life more important than your possessions? It's up to you."
His eyes gleamed.
Through the matter of the "Cult Leader Token," he realized that this world, apart from being data-driven, was no different from reality. Even the descriptions of spaces could hide secrets. It was not strange that these people had hidden goods on them.
Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou sneered, turned their heads away, and ignored Lin Qing, showing their defiance.
But Yin Wulu was different.
They were brothers who would die for each other.
How could he watch his brothers sacrifice their lives out of pride against a prestigious sect?
Although in the future, when Extermination struck them down, the medicine would be useless, he knew that the White-Winged Bat King was patrolling nearby and had already attacked the Emei Sect twice, killing several people. They had been captured, and the fat man Yan Huan from the Earth Flag would certainly report it. The White-Winged Bat King might come to raid the Emei camp and rescue them tonight.
It was not worth risking their lives for mere possessions. If the White-Winged Bat King really came and they were too weak to move, it would be a major loss.
He whispered to Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou.
Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou's faces turned pale, but they finally nodded and turned their heads away, ignoring Lin Qing.
As brave men, they despised Lin Qing.
Lin Qing smiled faintly, "Good, that's good. I like smart people."
Yin Wulu nodded, "I want to take the medicine first. To prevent you from going back on your word."
"No problem!" Lin Qing smiled and fed the Yunnan Baiyao to the severely injured Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou, standing there quietly.
In no time, the bleeding of Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou stopped.
Seeing no abnormalities, Yin Wulu sneered, "Take off my pants."
Lin Qing raised an eyebrow.
Yin Wulu said impatiently, "Put away your disgusting look! I'm a real man, not a rabbit! I have a hidden compartment in my pants with the lower volume of the 'White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill,' which can be practiced up to the fourth and fifth levels. If not for saving my brothers, you could kill me and never know."
"Then what?" Lin Qing's heart leaped with joy.
This half volume of the 'White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill' was worth 1000 supply points. Not to mention, when combined with the upper volume, it would form a complete version, allowing direct practice up to the fifth level. The power of the White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill had already been demonstrated against Zhuer.
"Nothing else," Yin Wulu said coldly, "This 'White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill' is a simplified and weakened version of the 'Eagle Claw Capture Hand' created by the Cult Leader for us dullards to practice. It can be practiced by ordinary people and is quite powerful. However..."
He asked, puzzled, "You, a direct disciple of Wudang, why would you be interested in this low-level skill? Isn't the vast array of Wudang's true teachings enough for you to practice?"
Lin Qing took the lower volume of the 'White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill' and smiled bitterly.
How could he say that he, the future Wudang Sect leader, didn't even know the simplest Wudang Long Fist?
At that moment, Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou suddenly writhed in pain, fell to the ground, and their bodies convulsed, but they couldn't make a sound.
Yin Wulu was shocked and glared at Lin Qing, "You scoundrel! You actually poisoned them!"
"Alright," Lin Qing squatted down, smiling, and shook a small bottle, "Now let's talk about the real deal."
Where did he get the poison?
From Zhuer.
Zhuer, who practiced the 'Thousand Spider Poison Hand,' had plenty of toxins and could easily create such poison pills.
Facing the bound Yin Wufu and the others, Lin Qing could use force, but it wouldn't get him the lower volume of the 'White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Skill.' Moreover, if Yin Wufu and the others used their internal energy to expel the toxins, it would be far less effective than tricking them, which was environmentally friendly and harmless.
Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou's faces quickly turned black, showing the effectiveness of the 'Thousand Spider Poison Hand.'
Yin Wulu was furious and said, trembling, "Prestigious sects are worse than pigs and dogs!"
Lin Qing shrugged.
Since his rebirth, he seemed like a different person, no longer indecisive and hesitant, but cold, sharp, and decisive.
This was a strange but reasonable change.
A reborn person with a new identity could transform completely.
"You... what do you really want?" Yin Wulu asked angrily.
Lin Qing said lazily, "Everything."
"What everything?" Yin Wulu gritted his teeth.
"Everything you have," Lin Qing said, shaking the small bottle.
"Scoundrel!" Yin Wulu shouted, "We have no hidden items left, we've given you everything!"
"I know," Lin Qing smiled faintly, "You've given me the tangible items, but there's still intangible information. Your lives are in my hands. Tell me everything. The distribution of the Heaven Eagle Sect, the locations of Yin Tianzheng and Yin Yewang, and..."
He smiled slyly, "The way to contact the White-Winged Bat King."
"The White-Winged Bat King?" Yin Wulu's face turned white instantly.
This was his greatest reliance, how could Lin Qing discover it?
Lin Qing, seeing Yin Wulu's face, was glad he had thought one step further.
This guy indeed had a special way to contact the White-Winged Bat King.
"Speak," Lin Qing pointed to Yin Wufu and Yin Wushou, who were convulsing in pain and sweating profusely, "They have been poisoned by the 'Thousand Spider Poison Hand.' Without the antidote within an incense stick's time, they will die from the poison."
"No!" Yin Wufu roared, "We would rather die than betray the White-Winged Bat King."
"The White-Winged Bat King and the White Eyebrow Eagle King fought for the position of Cult Leader in the past, and many of your people were harmed," Lin Qing said coldly, "Why continue to support him and risk your lives for nothing?"
Yin Wulu turned his head, looking at his brothers in danger, and then glared at Lin Qing, "You are not human! You are a devil! A devil!"
Lin Qing bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Lin Qing lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent.
Inside the tent, Yin Wufu and the others were ashen-faced, lying on the ground, their hearts dead.
Lin Qing had used their desire to live and their brotherly bond to force out many absolute secrets of the Cult of Evil and the Heaven Eagle Sect.
These secrets were worthless in the space's value system, but for Lin Qing, they were the key to uncovering a larger gold mine.
Lin Qing kept his promise and did not kill them.
Because he believed that their potential value had not been fully extracted, and there were still opportunities to exploit them.
He had already obtained everything he wanted.
Including everything about the White-Winged Bat King.
Lin Qing strode towards the largest tent in the center.
Although it was already midnight, Lin Qing still disturbed Extermination and Yin Liting.
When she heard that Lin Qing wanted to see her at midnight, Extermination was somewhat displeased, but her good impression of Song Qingshu made her finally agree to see him.
Lin Qing shared all the information he had obtained from Yin Wulu, of course, omitting the parts that benefited him.
Extermination and Yin Liting were stunned and speechless upon hearing the news.
