Chapter 1492: Chapter 6: Evil Leader_2 Chapter 1492: Chapter 6: Evil Leader_2 “A quarter of an hour, just hold on for a quarter of an hour, and I’ll let you go,”

Yiqi Tianlong placed his left hand on the knee of his crossed left leg, and extended a long, slender index finger from his right hand, “Of course, you can choose to kill yourself, because once the Thorny Vine poisoning begins, life and death will probably be out of your control.”

Taking a deep breath, Night Owl stood up from the ground, his gaze cold and stern.

“Heh heh heh, I like that look in your eyes, keep it up for a while longer!”

Yiqi Tianlong leaned forward in his upper body, changed the position of his left hand that was resting on his knee to support his left cheek, then lightly flicked his right index finger, causing the purple Thorny Vines in the bushes to twist around Night Owl’s body like serpents.

The latter let out an inhuman wail, utterly piercing, as the previously cold and stern look in his eyes was now replaced by horror and pleading.

This was just the first second…

“Ah~~~~ Let go, let go, let me go!!”

The screams grew more intense, but Yiqi Tianlong’s gaze remained as calm as ever, “All pain has a limit, and once you cross that limit, you become numb. Therefore, no matter how sophisticated a torture method is, there will always be secrets that can’t be pried out.”

“But this Thorny Vine poison is quite different; it not only causes pain but also heightens one’s sensitivity to it. A simple puncture wound can cause bone-deep, heart-wrenching pain, and the irony is that the venom also has healing properties for wounds, causing one to suffer and heal at the same time.”

Bound by the Thorny Vines, Night Owl thought he could endure this torture, but now he knew he couldn’t.

This pain exceeded everything he had experienced before, and all he wanted now was to alleviate it. He was willing to do anything just to stop the pain.

“I’ll tell you whatever you want to know, just stop torturing me, I beg of you, I beg you…”

Amidst the wailing, Night Owl suddenly realized the pain had vanished, and the vines binding him had disappeared as well.

He patted his body, his face filled with shock. Other than the mud and dust on his body, there was not even a pinprick to be found, as if the pain he had just experienced was an illusion.

“It doesn’t hurt, it really doesn’t hurt anymore…”

“Heh heh.”

Yiqi Tianlong chuckled, “It seems that your loyalty to the family is only so-so.”

With his head hung low, Night Owl now realized what he had just said, and instant remorse gnawed at his heart.

“Enough, like the deceitful scoundrels of the Tang Clan, who are infamous and deserve to be condemned by everyone, there’s no need to feel any guilt about betraying them.”

Yiqi Tianlong waved his hand, “I need you to do me a small favor.”

…

Boma City, Pharmacy

What’s most lacking during wartime are medical staff, and this is especially true for the Longxi Alliance right now.

Since the major clans of Longzhou declared war on the Tang Clan, many sects had made their positions clear.

This helped the martial families, which had risen through combat, to realize just how frightful the shifts in people’s loyalties could really be.

When the Longxi Alliance was at its peak, it seemed like the whole world was a friend, but with the leaking news of the Ghost Weeping Warship, all those friends disappeared.

Everywhere you looked, there were only enemies, even factions a thousand miles away expressed their disgust.

With the joint prohibition by Longzhou’s renowned healer, Qin Yuelu, and the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion of Kunwu Divine Mountain on medical aid to the Tang Clan, they essentially cut off any chance for the medics in Longzhou to help them, exacerbating the resentment felt by the Longxi Alliance.

What’s more distressing is the situation at Aran Mountain’s herb gardens.

Nobody knew if it was divine punishment, but at the time when medicines were needed most, the herb gardens withered away. If the Tang Clan hadn’t transformed the most important divine herbs into pills a few months ago, the loss might have been even greater.

But with tough battles still ahead, the divine herb pills needed to be reserved for critical moments. Therefore, the pharmacy’s policy towards the injured was clear.

Those who could heal on their own were left to heal, those who could not were given spiritual healing, and they would avoid using the pill reserves unless absolutely necessary.

The direct result was an ever-increasing healing period for the injured, combined with understaffed pharmacies, such that now even the area in front of the pharmacy was filled with people, and more kept arriving.

After all, the Justice Alliance’s harassment had escalated in frequency these days, with several elite forces probing the defenses daily.

If they didn’t respond, Boma City would be under the threat of a combined attack, yet if they did respond, there were hardly any warriors strong enough for battle.

Sometimes, even the medical officers in the city would doubt whether such an easily collapsing battle was worth continuing.

“Make way, make way!”

Four medical officers carrying two stretchers pushed through the jumbled crowd of people and burst into the dispensary.

“The two Wind Media investigating Jiejiang City are severely injured, please treat them first, medical officer!”

Tang Qingyi, looking somewhat pale, heard the voices and walked out from the inner hall, frowning at the two unconscious men carried by the Wind Media. “Medicine is in short supply right now, we’re understaffed. With injuries like these, let them heal on their own, don’t waste…”

“What did you say!”

The young man carrying the stretcher immediately reddened with rage. “The entire Wind Media Department is about to be wiped out by the Bounty Guild, and in the entire Zhutian area of Jiejiang City, only Night Owl and Bai Touweng are overseeing things. If they get injured, all intelligence from the northern part of Jiejiang City will be cut off! I don’t care about any medicine shortage, you must heal him, right now!”

Generally speaking, institutions like the Wind Media Department would adopt orphans and train them as members, creating deep bonds among Wind Media members who grew up together.

And now with the shortage of medicine, those who were likely to be most hurt were these Wind Media members. Tang Qingyi had already refused many requests to treat the Wind Media.

It wasn’t because he was heartless, but because the pharmacy was truly out of medical supplies, and the few remaining medicines and spiritual pills were all reserved for warriors above the Fierce Realm.

So even though the young man was shouting himself hoarse, Tang Qingyi still replied calmly, “If the injury is not fatal, carry them back and let them recover slowly. If there’s no one to watch over Jiejiang City, go find Tang Feng. This is a dispensary, not the Wind Media Department!”

The young man choked up, tears filling his eyes in an instant, and collapsed to his knees with a thud. “Doctor, please, save them, I beg you!”

“Drag them out.”

With a detached comment, Tang Qingyi turned and went back to the inner hall.

Behind the curtain on the Cold Jade Heating Bed sat a Martial Ancestor from the Tang Clan, his upper body covered in wounds. Seeing Tang Qingyi return, he gritted his teeth, “The Wind Media are the eyes of the war. Without Night Owl, the intelligence from the north of Jiejiang City is cut off. You should have treated him first, I can hold on a bit longer!”

“Old Martial Ancestor, no need to be tough. Your injuries require the Life Creation Pill. And these wounds have been delayed for too long, even with the pills, I fear that your full strength may never return,” Tang Qingyi said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

“If that’s the case, then why waste the pills?”

Tang Zhen smiled, putting on his outer garment, and said to Tang Qingyi, “These external injuries will heal in a few days with proper cultivation. Qingyi, you should conserve your spiritual power and use it on other patients.”

…

Now that a doctor had spoken, the guards of the dispensary naturally did not hold back; in just a few moments, they had thrown out several people along with the injured.

And the expelled young man could only accept this reality, leading his brothers back to their base.

After the relocation of its residents, Boma City seemed rather desolate. The mournful autumn wind whirling leaves and the rapidly deteriorating streets brought on sighs of regret.

Many Wind Media had already died in Boma City–those free and self-reliant children who thought joining the Tang Clan would provide them with support.

They practiced hard, studied desperately, but when wounded on a mission, there wasn’t even any medicine for them.

Anger, unwillingness, and grievances swirled in the hearts of the young men, so much so that they didn’t even notice the person codenamed “Bai Touweng” on the stretcher opening his eyes.

“Bang, Bang, Bang.”

A green mist enchanted the young men, and as Yiqi Tianlong stood up, he extended a hand, casting a green wood Spirit Art, awakening the unconscious Night Owl.

Then he saw several children he had watched grow up, now lying all over the ground.

“You devil!!”

Night Owl stood up furiously, ready to fight Yiqi Tianlong to the death. “You said that as long as I brought you into the city, you wouldn’t harm innocent people, you promised!”

“They’ve only passed out!”

Yiqi Tianlong said indifferently, “I’m different from those in Jiejiang City who fancy themselves as the Justice Alliance. I’ve come to Boma City just to slay the wicked!”
