Because Lian Xing was under the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique, Lin Yuhai rarely thought that she dared to run. Of course, it was also due to his overconfidence in his own strength. After all, Lin Yuhai was a master of the Tianyuan Realm, a top existence on the pinnacle of the world’s pyramid.
Who could possibly escape right under his nose?
Moreover, since Lian Xing had been afflicted by the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique, it would torment her daily. If Lin Yuhai didn’t intervene, she would suffer immensely.
But now, Lian Xing had indeed fled, even if it meant immense suffering.
This made Lin Yuhai jump with rage, feeling an extreme provocation.
At this moment, Lin Yuhai was like a madman, continually roaring, and with each wave of his palm, a force as overwhelming as mountains and seas burst out, wreaking havoc on the countless trees around him.
Yet he still couldn’t force Lian Xing to come out.
After what seemed like an eternity, Lin Yuhai took a deep breath, slowly suppressing his rage: "Bitch, you better not fall into my hands, or I will hack you into a thousand pieces!"
"No, that’s too easy for her, I want to cripple her, send her to Africa, and let her be played by men every day until she dies!"
Saying this, a vicious expression flashed across Lin Yuhai’s face.
Then, Lin Yuhai left the place.
But it wasn’t long before he returned again, looking around, and after confirming there was no trace of Lian Xing, he reluctantly left for good.
Meanwhile, in the southeastern direction of this nameless deep mountain and old forest, Lian Xing was sitting on a rock with a look of post-calamity relief on her face.
In front of Lian Xing sat a man holding a jade flute.
The man was tall and slender, standing there like a pine tree. Because of the mask on his face, half of it was hidden, making it impossible to see his true appearance. However, his eyes could be seen.
The man’s eyes were filled with a weathered look as if belonging to an ancient old man, revealed only through the erosion of time.
"Senior..."
"You’re safe now!" the man said calmly, "But how did you end up in the hands of that old monster?"
"I didn’t want to either," Lian Xing smiled bitterly.
"Alright, be careful not to fall into his hands again, or given his temperament, he will certainly cut you into a thousand pieces." The man advised, "I won’t accompany you further!"
"Senior, wait!" Lian Xing hurriedly called out.
"Is there anything else?"
"May I respectfully know your name, and why you saved me?"
"A name is just a label," the man said lightly, "As for saving you, it’s simply because I dislike that old monster Lin Yuhai. The people he wants to kill, I just ensure they live!"
Lian Xing’s delicate brows knitted slightly: "Do you have a grudge against him, Senior?"
"Young lass, don’t probe into things you shouldn’t," the man replied softly, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going!"
"Senior, you must match Lin Yuhai in strength, why not confront him head-on..."
"That doesn’t concern you, does it?" The man slowly focused his gaze on Lian Xing, "Young lass, I know you want to extract information from me, but it’s futile, it won’t work!"
"However, I am interested in your master, I wonder if you could tell me about them?"
"Senior, I..."
"I know you can’t say, and likewise, I can’t, so I won’t ask you, and you shouldn’t ask me. When the time comes for you to know, you will naturally know." The man interrupted Lian Xing, "Once you leave here, find a safe place or return to your master’s side!"
"Senior, I fear I may not be able to return to my master’s side!" Lian Xing said bitterly.
"Why suddenly say you can’t return to your master, are you going to die?"
"Senior, to be honest, I’ve been affected by the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique," Lian Xing said helplessly, "Although my master has extraordinary abilities, they have no remedy for this technique."
"Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique?" The man’s brow lightly furrowed, "Old fiend, your hand is quite vicious!"
"Senior, do you know about the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique?"
"You’re lucky!" the man said lightly, "I’ll give you a hand, then you should leave!"
As soon as his words fell, a powerful aura burst forth from the man, and then his right hand swiftly extended, directly placing it on Lian Xing’s head.
Instantly, a vast inner strength coursed from Lian Xing’s Shen Ting acupoint throughout her entire body, a warm feeling making her feel immensely comfortable.
Soon, wisps of white mist rose from Lian Xing’s forehead, looking very eerie, and an expression of pain gradually surfaced on her face.
The next moment, the man’s eyes shot out a bright gaze. His form flickered like a ghost, and with a swoosh, he was at Lian Xing’s back, and his right hand directly slapped onto her back!
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of scarlet blood spewed from Lian Xing’s mouth, but the man didn’t stop there. His right hand, already on Lian Xing’s back, continued to move, akin to a Tai Chi gesture!
After a long while, the man slowly withdrew his hand, and then said to Lian Xing, "I’ve unraveled the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique for you, you’re alright now!"
Lian Xing didn’t speak immediately but adjusted her breath slightly before she slowly opened her eyes and focused them on the man.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!" Lian Xing said gratefully, "If you ever need my help in the future, I will not hesitate!"
The man chuckled lightly, "There’s no need, you don’t have to remember it!"
"Senior, if I may dare to ask one more question!"
"Go ahead?"
"How does Senior know the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique?" Lian Xing stared at the man, "From what I know, the Soul Devouring Heart Control Technique is almost lost!"
"There are always a few people who know some things thought to be lost, it’s not surprising," the man said with indifferent tone, "Alright, we’ll meet again, I hope you can evade that old demon Lin Yuhai, otherwise you might really die!"
With those words, the man leaped gracefully, like a swallow, soaring into the air, then vanished from Lian Xing’s sight.
Although the man disappeared, Lian Xing kept staring in the direction he disappeared, without moving at all, and her brows furrowed tightly at this moment.
Who on earth was this man, and why did he save her?
A series of questions arose in Lian Xing’s mind!
