Chapter 58

Using the plague as an excuse to frame and accuse, this move is truly vicious, and with the wisdom of the Dahuang Village residents, they would never see through it!

How could they understand the concept of a pill that overdraws one’s vital energy? How could they know that there are even poisonous wild bones, and that refining them would lead to death?

Many of them had only heard of wild bones for the first time two months ago.

The poor and suffering people, their lives driven by hunger and cold, could hardly accommodate anything more in their minds besides food. Even if you explained it to them word by word, they might not understand.

"Damn it!"

Yi Yun's eyes turned icy cold. If he were to show his face this time, it would be equivalent to declaring war on Lian Chengyu!

Yi Yun weighed his own cards. His current cultivation was still at the Meridian Stage, but he had already reached the peak of Body Tempering, with meridians as strong as dragons.

As for Lian Chengyu, he had already put one foot into the Purple Blood Realm, considered the pinnacle of the Qi Induction Stage. If not for himself, Lian Chengyu would have definitely broken through to the Purple Blood Realm this time with the wild bones.

Facing Lian Chengyu, who was close to the Purple Blood Realm, with his peak Body Tempering at the Meridian Stage, Yi Yun had no confidence.

And in the Lian Clan, besides Lian Chengyu, there was also the old clan leader and the instructor Yao Yuan!

The three of them were all at the fifth layer of the Qi Induction Stage, and he would be fighting three at once!

Yi Yun wasn't worried about the old clan leader, but Yao Yuan...

Yi Yun didn't know Yao Yuan's true strength. He had once reached the Purple Blood Realm but had fallen back in cultivation.

Regardless of Yao Yuan's cultivation, his combat experience was definitely very rich.

As for Yi Yun, apart from the "Dragon Sinew Tiger Bone Fist," he hadn't learned any other offensive martial techniques or footwork.

In terms of combat skills, Yi Yun lacked refinement, and his martial path was still in its early stages.

So Yi Yun had to calm down and think long-term.

"Lian Chengyu, I will definitely find a way to make you suffer a painful death!"

Yi Yun clenched his fists. Although he was originally from Earth, and even though he had crossed over to this world where strength was paramount, he couldn't bring himself to kill directly. However, today, he had a strong desire to kill Lian Chengyu!

Lian Chengyu had tried to harm him twice, and Yi Yun wasn't this angry. But Lian Chengyu should not, under any circumstances, treat Jiang Xiaorou like this.

His sister, alone and destitute, a fifteen-year-old girl, facing the questioning of the entire clan!

And once those able-bodied men fell ill and died, Lian Chengyu wouldn't need to do anything to shift all the blame onto him. What would the families of the deceased do to Jiang Xiaorou? Yi Yun didn't even want to think about it!

If Lian Chengyu appeared now and tried to do something to Jiang Xiaorou, she would be completely defenseless!

In the grass, Yi Yun picked up a small stone, aimed at Lian Cuifhua's face, and fiercely flicked it.

"Smack!"

The stone hit Lian Cuifhua's face right on target.

"Ouch!"

Lian Cuifhua let out a painful cry, crouched down, and clutched her face, which was already bruised.

"Who the hell dares to hit me?"

Lian Cuifhua said angrily, and the surrounding children immediately shook their heads, all claiming it had nothing to do with them.

Yi Yun didn't use lethal force, though he had the impulse to kill this mean woman. However, he knew that if he really did something to Lian Cuifhua, it would still raise Lian Chengyu's suspicions.

He would remember this, and within a month, at most a month, he would make her pay back everything, making this vicious woman pay the price.

"Ah!" At this moment, a boy next to Lian Cuifhua jumped up, holding his buttocks, "Who hit me?"

This boy was the leader of the group of children.

"It wasn't me!"

"It wasn't me either!" People hurried to clarify, distancing themselves from the incident.

But at this moment, cries of pain continued one after another. Yi Yun's speed was extremely fast, and the trajectory of the stones he shot was very precise. After hitting the children, the stones immediately flew away, disappearing into the night, leaving the children clueless about what hit them and where the stones came from.

"What the hell is this!?"

The children realized something was wrong.

It was a dark and windy night, and they were here to do the brave job of "driving away evil spirits." Suddenly being hit by something unknown, they were instantly on edge.

"There... there's a ghost!"

One of the children shouted, and the others immediately turned pale and scattered in a panic!

Lian Cuifhua was even more terrified, her face drained of blood, and she ran away, rolling and crawling.

The villagers were extremely wary of ghosts and demons.

After the children scattered, Yi Yun, seeing no one around, moved like a ghost to the front of his house and directly climbed over the courtyard wall.

The courtyard was full of cow dung, but Yi Yun, having reached the Meridian Stage and peak Body Tempering, could move like a martial arts expert, using a breath of true essence to cross the river on a single reed.

Yi Yun's feet didn't touch the ground as he crossed the courtyard, and his straw shoes remained clean.

With a push of his hands, a palm wind blew open the door, and Yi Yun entered the house.

Inside the house, right by the entrance was the stove, and there was no light, making it pitch black.

However, in the inner bedroom, some moonlight filtered through the hole in the window broken by the cow dung, allowing Yi Yun to clearly see Jiang Xiaorou's slender figure in the moonlight.

Her face and shoulders evoked a deep sense of tenderness.

"Who!?"

Although Jiang Xiaorou was in deep sorrow and anxiety over Yi Yun's disappearance, she was still very alert. Hearing the sound, she instinctively grabbed the arrow next to her!

Jiang Xiaorou was a stubborn woman. Although she was self-reliant, her environment had instilled in her the thought that "a household without a male is pitiful and weak."

With her brother, she had a focus in life, but without him, she not only lost her mental support, but as a girl living alone in the Dahuang, she would inevitably be bullied.

Moreover, Yi Yun had warned Jiang Xiaorou that Lian Chengyu had designs on her, so she had kept the arrow in her hand all day.

"Sister, it's me... Yun'er..."

Yi Yun's voice trembled slightly. Seeing the house full of cow dung and Jiang Xiaorou in the mess, his nose stung, and he felt an urge to cry.

Jiang Xiaorou was stunned. In the darkness, she saw Yi Yun's face by the moonlight. Although it was blurry, she couldn't fail to recognize that familiar outline.

"Yun'er!!"

Jiang Xiaorou's eyes filled with tears, and she ran over, throwing her arms around Yi Yun tightly!

"Yun'er, you're safe, you're safe, you're safe!"

Jiang Xiaorou's voice was urgent, and she held Yi Yun with all her strength, as if afraid of losing him if she let go.

Held tightly by Jiang Xiaorou, Yi Yun could feel her trembling body and her rapid heartbeat. He felt warmth on his neck, which were Jiang Xiaorou's tears.

"Sister, I'm fine..."

"I know... I knew from the beginning." Jiang Xiaorou cried, saying she knew from the beginning, but how could she have been at ease?

She didn't care about the humiliation of the cow dung on the walls or the curses of the mean woman. The only thing she cared about was whether her brother could come back.

Now, she had finally waited for him!

"Let's go, sister, let's leave here, don't stay in the village anymore!"

Yi Yun's sudden words left Jiang Xiaorou, who was emotionally overwhelmed, stunned. "Not stay here, where would we go? To Yunhuang?"
