When Lin Bai and the others rushed over, Ren Zeyuan was meditating and recuperating. His face was pale and his aura was weak. He had indeed suffered quite a few injuries.
“Elder Yan and the others were ambushed by monsters. Fortunately, the pill was successfully refined in the end.” He Qingyuan spoke concisely and clearly, explaining the whole sequence of events.
Ren Zeyuan slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, “That’s great. There’s no time to lose. Let’s hurry up and purify the City Lord. With the pill, I believe we can definitely succeed this time.”
At this point, Lin Bai still had a few doubts, such as whether the monsters were related to the City Lord. Moreover, from the current situation, there was also the information that Yan Hua and the others had revealed.
He had a feeling that the City Lord did not seem to be sick. Instead, he seemed to have been invaded by some evil energy and needed to be suppressed again. What exactly happened? The dignified City Lord had actually been controlled by an evil being. The commotion that came from underground and the attack that he had received were very likely the work of the City Lord.
However, these were just Lin Bai’s guesses. It could be seen that Yan Hua and the others had kept this a secret. They would not tell him the truth until the very last moment.
“Vice City Lord, may I ask, how is the City Lord’s condition? I don’t think he is as simple as being sick.”
Ren Zeyuan’s expression stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. It was as if he did not expect Lin Bai to suddenly ask this question. He sighed faintly, “At this point in time, we did not think of hiding it from you. When everything is over, we will tell you.”
“However, there are too many secrets involved in this matter. It will be difficult to explain in a short period of time. The most important thing is to save the City Lord.”
Having said that, Lin Bai could not continue asking. He Qingyuan quickly tried to mediate the situation. “Yes, the City Lord can not be delayed any longer.”
As Ren Zeyuan was seriously injured and He Qingyuan and the others were not in good condition, Lin Bai and the others all went to treat their injuries. However, Lin Bai did not do anything.
Ren Zeyuan and He Qingyuan could not say anything. They could not force Lin Bai. They just looked at each other in the air and then moved away.
Under the lead of Ren Zeyuan and the others, Lin Bai and the others quickly arrived at the position of the castellan. He Qingyuan reminded them, “We were attacked by monsters here just now. Everyone, be careful.”
Not far away, there was a figure lying on the ground, covered in black gas. Seeing that there were no monsters around to ambush them, Ren Zeyuan hurried forward, “City Lord, City Lord!”
The person laying on the ground did not respond.
“Let’s not waste any time. The City Lord is now in a coma. While the monsters are not rioting, let’s finish the last part of his purification.”
Ren Zeyuan was not fully recovered yet, so it was not suitable for him to take action. Fortunately, Lin Bai and the others had joined him and temporarily filled his vacancy. He only needed to guide the others on how to do it.
Ren Zeyuan’s gaze fell on Lin Bai. “Then you –”
As if he knew what he was going to say, Lin Bai said, “I’ll guard you from the side in case the monsters suddenly attack.”
“Uh.” Ren Zeyuan was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say. He said embarrassedly, “Then, then that’s it.” A subtle dark light flashed in his eyes, and some fear grew in his heart.
Ren Zeyuan was confident in his own strength. Logically speaking, it should be foolproof. Who would have thought that Lin Bai, who suddenly appeared, would disrupt all the plans and actually refine the pill.
However, he did not take it to heart. Although his plans were disrupted, it did not change the outcome. These people were ultimately like mantis trying to stop a chariot. No one could stop his grand undertaking.
White spiritual energy surrounded the City Lord’s body, washing the black fog bit by bit. Previously, Lin Bai could not see the City Lord’s facial features clearly. Now that the black fog had dispersed, Lin Bai could finally see them clearly.
Unexpectedly, the City Lord was even younger than he had imagined. His face didn’t look much older than him, but his face was too pale, as if he hadn’t seen the Sun for years.
This time, the process was unexpectedly smooth, with no monsters disturbing them. The vigilant hearts of the people gradually relaxed. Seeing that the purification was almost complete, Ren Zeyuan said, “Hurry up and take out the pills for the City Lord to take.”
Although Lin Bai was a little suspicious and felt that something was wrong, Ren Zeyuan, He Qingyuan, and the others in front of him did not seem like monsters in disguise. Could it be that he was really overthinking?
A silver-colored pill appeared in the air. It had a total of nine pill patterns. It could be seen that it was indeed a top-grade pill. The air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance. It was as if even the injuries on his body could be alleviated.
The pale faces of He Qingyuan and the others recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was truly amazing how miraculous the medicinal effects were. At the same time, it seemed to have awakened He Qingyuan’s deep memories. He frowned, and scarlet light flashed in his eyes.
This state was noticed by Lin Bai and the others. “President He, what happened to you?”
“Maybe it’s the relapse of an old illness…” The scarlet red colour in He Qingyuan’s eyes became more and more obvious. However, it was immediately replaced by a smear of black. His expression was extremely complicated, as if there were two forces fighting.
Ren Zeyuan couldn’t help but frown when he saw this. He supported He Qingyuan and said to the others, “President He will be fine after resting for a while.”
However, He Qingyuan seemed to have finally broken free and suddenly shouted, “No!”
