New and dark light years

Chapter 291 Heavenly Pure Sand

Li Lin asked several constables to help carry the black paper figure onto a two-wheeled wooden cart, and then took it home.

It was put back into the warehouse.

Huang Qing originally disliked this thing very much.

After all, it was dark and exuded a sinister aura, which was not appealing at first glance.

But now, she is only grateful that her family has this thing.

Otherwise... their world will collapse.

So a rather large compartment was added to the storeroom, and the paper dolls were placed inside.

Enjoy a space all to yourself.

That's quite impressive.

This was decided by three women.

At this moment, Li Lin was also in the warehouse. He gently applied some mixed materials to the body of the paper doll, repairing the holes on its surface.

The core of the paper figure, the 'ghost' that serves as its energy source, was not fatally damaged.

It wasn't even affected, so this paper doll can be repaired and reused.

It just takes a lot of effort.

But no matter how much effort it takes, it's worth it.

After all, this was his own 'external blood pack', and Li Lin was practically immortal until this substitute paper doll was truly destroyed.

It took Li Lin half a day to repair one-third of the holes on the dummy. He then needed more materials to mix into a special pulp before he could continue repairing.

As I came out of the storeroom, I saw Huang Qing and Hong Luan practicing martial arts.

They became so diligent because they wanted to help Li Lin in the future.

After all, the matter of the paper dolls left them terrified.

Li Yanjing suddenly appeared beside Li Lin and said, "That wretched woman has woken up. Husband, would you like to go and see her?"

"Then go and have a look."

Li Yanjing pointed to a room not far away. Li Lin walked over, pushed open the door, and then closed it.

The room wasn't very spacious. There was a bed at the bottom, and Chu Rengong lay on it, almost naked, with only three white cloths covering her three wounds.

She heard the sound and turned to look.

Upon seeing Li Lin, she smiled and said, "Young Master Paper, you've finally come to see me."

This is the fourth day since she was injured.

His voice sounded weak and listless.

As the door closed, Li Lin looked at Yan Jing beside him and asked, "How is she now?"

"I used Yin energy to temporarily alleviate her injuries," Li Yanjing said with a smile. "Her life is now in my hands. If I want her to live, she lives; if I want her to die, she dies."

Li Lin nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Chu Rengong: "Alright, we can talk now."

"Young master, please ask whatever you wish. Just spare my life."

Li Lin raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is your purpose in coming to Yulin County?"

"Establish a branch headquarters, and at the same time, find a way to kill you."

Chu Rengong spoke very directly, without any hesitation.

This was indeed much as Li Lin had guessed. He asked curiously, "How much attention do I get in the Immortal Execution Society?"

"Not very high," Chu Rengong sighed. "Before you, there were more than a dozen people whom the Zhuxian Society was determined to kill."

Which dozen or so?

"I only know two."

"explain."

Chu Rengong said, "King Zhu Laosan of Lu, and King Qin Tuo of Yue."

"Why are they also targets of the Immortal Execution Society?" Li Lin asked, somewhat puzzled. "They don't cultivate immortality, do they?" "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics," Chu Rengong said helplessly. "My position in the society isn't particularly high, it's somewhere in between. But I've heard that the Immortal Execution Society determines whether someone is an 'immortal' not based on whether they cultivate immortality, but on their destiny. Otherwise, the Ding family of Guicheng and the Han family of Wancheng would have long been thorns in our side."

"Then what were your reasons for assassinating the emperor?"

"I don't know. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been killed. It seems the Grand Master has another explanation, but that's beyond my knowledge."

It turned out to be the case.

"Do you have a presence in all the counties and cities of Tianjin?"

Chu Rengong shook his head: "Jin County has set up a branch in Yulin because you are here. To assassinate a powerful military officer, we naturally need to make thorough preparations. Establishing a branch here will make personnel deployment and intelligence command more convenient in the future."

"You really think highly of me!"

Chu Rengong laughed and said, "Because you dodged the assassination attempts we hadn't prepared for, and even killed several of our best fighters. As a result, you attracted even more attention at the meeting."

"Besides Tianjin, do you also have branch offices in other prefectures?"

"I only know that they are in the capital, Lucheng, and Yuecheng. I don't know much about the others."

Li Lin nodded slightly.

He could tell that Chu Rengong had indeed not hidden anything.

This is a gut feeling.

He then asked, "Are there any other experts lurking in Yulin County besides you?"

“No more.” Chu Rengong said with a bitter tone, “Before I came here, I had already planned to die with you. At that time, I was not afraid of death at all.”

Li Yanjing chuckled.

"Then now... why do you want to live?"

Li Lin could see that Chu Rengong desperately wanted to live, even to the point of sacrificing his dignity.

Chu Rengong said, "Because I am really going to die."

Her face showed lingering fear.

She said in a weak voice, "When I came to Yulin County, I was full of passion to kill you, even if it meant dying together. I wanted to be loyal to the headquarters. But when I was really about to die, I felt my body temperature disappearing. It was so cold. The thought of my body turning into a cold corpse, rotting and smelling, filthy and disgusting, made me afraid."

As she spoke, her body trembled.

It was obvious that the trembling seemed to have reopened her wounds, and a faint red stain appeared on the white cloth.

"I've suddenly become very afraid of dying. I'm extremely afraid of dying now."

Li Lin could understand.

He also walked on the edge of life and death; that feeling of being on the verge of death was truly terrifying.

People can do many things with passion, but when passion fades, reason and fear become the main themes of human emotion.

“Since you’re afraid of death, that makes things easier,” Li Lin said with a smile. “Tell me about the origin of the sword technique you’re using.”

"That's the most powerful martial art in our Zhuxian Society!" A hint of fanaticism appeared in Chu Rengong's eyes: "It's said to be the remains of an immortal. There are nine forms in total, and I've only learned half of it, which is the one you saw."

"Immortal Sword Technique?" Li Lin asked, puzzled. "What's it called?"

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Style".

Li Lin was silent for a while. This name was indeed... very imposing.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique created by immortals is quite interesting.

"Does the move you learned have a name?"

Chu Rengong laughed and said, "I haven't mastered it yet, only half of it. I still need to rely on external objects to barely unleash a fraction of its divine essence. It's called... Heavenly Pure Sand!"

“Tell me how to train,” Li Lin said. “If you tell me, you can live.”

"It will take a long time to learn."

"It's okay, learn slowly. I'll let you go when I've learned it."

"Alright!" Chu Rengong laughed, with a hint of pleading, "But could you please give me some porridge? I haven't eaten for four days."
