I Have Medicine Chapter 486 - Cave of Evil Deeds

Chapter 486 - Cave of Evil Deeds

T/N: This chapter contains graphic depictions of s.e.xual a.s.sault. For those who do not wish to read this chapter, any important information will be summarized in a recap at the start of Chapter 488.

If it was like this, then Wan Rong and the others would’ve naturally had an excuse for the entire city when it was realized how powerful the opposition was. They wouldn’t have gone so far as to bring attention to this matter. If she had been a little less courageous, she wouldn’t have even gotten in touch with Ten Ultimates Sect. As such, for the people behind the scenes, silently achieving their goals wouldn’t have caused too much alarm at all.

Gongyi Tianheng closed his eyes and pondered deeply.

He hadn’t thought about why those behind the scenes wanted to target the people of a place with connections to Ten Ultimates Sect like Swallowtail City. On this continent, only organizations that reached the silver rank and above could completely untether themselves from others. Otherwise, even if it was a bronze-ranked organization, there would always be an honorable “higher sect.” It could’ve possibly made friends with a silver-ranked or even gold-ranked force.

It was reasonable to say that the higher sect of Swallowtail City wasn’t directly attributed to Ten Ultimates Sect. Rather, it was a bronze-ranked organization. However, this bronze-ranked force disappeared in the long river of history amid the changing times. Contrary to expectations, Swallowtail City, which was barely keeping itself afloat, had the ability to directly contact Ten Ultimates Sect.

Tianheng contemplated things further.

If the people behind the scenes only believed that the higher sect of the unacknowledged Swallowtail City was merely at the iron or bronze rank, then even if there was a helping hand, the rank would be even lower… Thus, perhaps they thought they had nothing to fear?

But no matter how many thoughts Tianheng considered, the people behind the scenes had already taken such actions. Regardless of how much he guessed, under the circ.u.mstances of a lack of information, he wouldn’t be able to ascertain how large the backer supporting the other side was.

No matter how much he thought about it… It seemed that there were certain aspects that didn’t conform to logic.

This caused Tianheng’s frame of mind to become somewhat serious.

Fine. He would guard the tree stump and wait for the rabbit.

With such thinking, Tianheng sat cross-legged on the bed.

City Lord Wan Rong entertained Tianheng with the utmost thoughtfulness, but Tianheng didn’t have any inclinations to enjoy himself. More than that, he didn’t feel that he could rest peacefully at this time.

While he acc.u.mulated profound qi, he could only split his attention to take notice of the movements around him.

The Tianlong Guards were very vigilant. They had long practiced the techniques for joint attacks, and their tacit understanding was extraordinary. Right now, they formed a type of battle array that closely protected the room’s periphery.

If there were any external attacks, they would definitely respond at the first moment!

This vigilance continued for the next two days.

On the third day, when it was very late at night, Tianheng suddenly opened his eyes.

&#k2014; There seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere of Swallowtail City?

For this kind of peculiarity, ordinary martial artists wouldn’t have discovered it. This even went for those martial artists whose realms were more profound than that of Tianheng himself. Although, for all-star prodigies like Tianheng, they were born to become powerhouses. Their sensitivity to the outside world naturally couldn’t be compared to that of ordinary people.

Hence, Wan Rong and the others couldn’t discover that something was wrong due to their limited strength. Yet, on the third night that he came to this place, he was the first to notice!

Naturally, the one who similarly discovered it was the member of the shadow cat race.

At this moment, Ying Yu was continuously shuttling across the empty sky. Not far ahead of him, there was another figure who similarly traveled through the air using an extremely fast body technique. This figure had no choice but to dump the weighty object in his hands to speed up and escape!

This weighty object was a person with a slender build. A dark light flashed in Ying Yu’s eyes.

He knew that if what City Lord Wan Rong said was true, today was the time when a girl would be abducted! This slender person was naturally the girl who had been taken.

With a wave of Ying Yu’s hand, the girl was gently lowered to the ground under the eaves of a nearby rooftop with a surge of softened energy. However, the instant she fell to the ground, she was roused awake. Suddenly realizing that she was in the wrong place, she involuntarily cried out in alarm. But when all was said and done, she was a Xiantian Realm martial artist who had firm willpower. She quickly reacted, and knew that she had been rescued. At once, her delicate body flashed away into a side street — She wanted to rush to the city lord’s mansion, and report this matter to the city lord!

At the same time, because Ying Yu took action at this instance, the distance between himself and the person ahead pulled apart. However, the speed of the shadow cat race was naturally quite fast. During the the few seconds he was hindered, he used some secret methods to swiftly catch up. The distance between them was becoming shorter and shorter!

The person in front also discovered this matter. He seemed to be extremely anxious, but unfortunately, there was no other way. He could only bite his finger, and use his heart’s blood as a sacrifice to refine his own body. This allowed his speed to rise to another level.

As the most outstanding a.s.sa.s.sin among the members of the shadow cat race, it was only natural that he had the brains to back up his speed. Once he realized that the opponent was close to desperation, since he didn’t come here to beat the gra.s.s and startle the snake, he pretended to have exhausted his own strength, too. After chasing for a while, he suddenly struck out with a palm and seriously injured the person up ahead. Shortly thereafter, his speed slowed, and he faintly fell behind.

However, he didn’t really fall behind. Rather, his body shook slightly and completely disappeared into the air.

Seeing that Ying Yu wasn’t pursuing anymore, the figure in front breathed a sigh of relief. After taking several circuitous detours, he entered a wooded mountain.

This wasn’t the location where Wan Rong and the others were threatened in the beginning, but a relatively more hidden place. Ying Yu used the innate skill of his own race and silently followed. Finally, this area entered his field of view.

In addition, Ying Yu also discovered that there really were other people inside the cave concealed by the wooded mountain — Apart from that Ascendent Realm fellow just now, there was another Ascendent Realm as well as a streak of somewhat weaker qi emissions.

There were only three people in total…

Ying Yu waited here for a long time in the dead of the night, but didn’t see any new people coming over. When the color of the sky was about to brighten, he didn’t wait any longer. Turning around, he headed towards Swallowtail City.

It was just two Ascendent Realms. There was nothing to worry about.

Tianheng had been waiting in his room for a long while.

Ying Yu kneeled on the ground: “Young master, this subordinate followed that man to a cave…”

His words were concise and comprehensive, and he quickly told Tianheng everything he saw.

Having heard what was said, Tianheng’s gaze faintly moved: “Are you sure that there isn’t anyone stronger in the cave?”

Ying Yu respectfully said: “This subordinate is certain.”

Tianheng slightly nodded his head: “In that case, get ready. To avoid a long night with many dreams, we shall set off immediately.”

Ying Yu was startled, but lowered his head right away: “As the young master commands!”

Because the opposition consisted of Ascendant Realms, Tianheng didn’t bring along his group of Tianlong Guards. Rather, he ordered them to watch over the city lord’s mansion. This was to prevent any accidents from happening.

As for Tianheng himself, he followed Ying Yu through the air, and came directly to the wooded mountain.

Although the time was short, it was unknown whether those three people evacuated in advance — After all, the way those people acted was really treacherous and deceitful. However, one of them had already been injured by Ying Yu. If he left like this, it would be easy to leave traces. As such, they would probably deal with the injury before making any decisions.

Thus, Ying Yu fought for the opportunity to return with his report and for the two to swiftly depart.

In front of the cave, Tianheng put on a black cloak.

In an instant, his figure seemed to vanish from Ying Yu’s line of sight. Not a single strand of qi emissions was leaked, which made it practically impossible to detect anything. Ying Yu’s pupils suddenly shrank — The young master was nowhere to be seen!

The next moment, Ying Yu developed a feeling of admiration for this young master. He knew that this was the function of the cloak. Soon after, he employed his own innate skill, and concealed himself.

After that, the two stepped into the cave.

What was beyond their expectations was that the cave was clean and neat. There wasn’t a whiff of the stench of blood — Could it be that the people who were captured weren’t in this place? Or perhaps, they had been moved to another location long ago?

But very quickly, they realized that this wasn’t the case.

In the depths of the cave, they saw quite a few stone compartments. And there were different sights inside the various rooms.

Among them, there were three stone compartments that should’ve been living s.p.a.ces. Each compartment was furnished differently. In the most s.p.a.cious one, the qi emissions left behind were the weakest, but in fact, that person’s status ought to have been the highest. This was because all of the furnishings used were the best.

The two gave a hurried glance at these three stone compartments, but didn’t find anything special, so they didn’t pay these areas any further attention.

The things that caused the two’s gazes to darken were within the deepest stone compartment in the central part of the cave — Rather than calling it a stone compartment, it was better to call it a stone palace hall. In Tianheng’s opinion, this place looked more like the dark and ghastly laboratories he had heard about in the modern world. Everything inside would evoke an onlooker’s greatest disgust and loathing.

Granted that Ying Yu was a member of a nonhuman race, he had never seen something so inhumane and cruel.

In the middle of the stone palace hall, there was an enormous stone bed. Lying on top of the stone bed were a dozen or so pairs of naked men and women. Their expressions were dull and vacant, but their bodies exuded an air of powerful desire. They frantically mated with one another like beasts. The men’s hard masculinity joined together with the women’s soft femininity. But in this place, there wasn’t the slightest beauty of harmonious lovemaking. On the contrary, it brought about a type of sickening and nauseating atmosphere — This was because they completely lacked any enjoyment or willingness in the act. It seemed they were being controlled like puppets!

However, this wasn’t the only scene.

Near the left side, there was another large stone bed. There were men and women copulating on this stone bed as well, but without exception, every woman was pregnant. Meanwhile, the men lying on top of them had blank and lifeless expressions. As they constantly undulated up and down, a type of energy was infused into the women’s bodies. It seemed that it was due to this reason that the men’s skin dulled and their figures withered little by little. Even their lifespans appeared to slowly collapse through this process…

On the right side, there was a final stone table. On this table, a pregnant young lady was lying on her back with her gravid belly bulging upwards. But at this moment, a person was standing at the bedside with a sharp blade in hand. The blade slashed down —

At that exact moment, a strong wind rushed out!

With Tianheng’s signal, it was Ying Yu who made a move!

The strength of a Celestial Realm martial artist was so powerful that it couldn’t be compared to that of an Ascendant Realm at all. Under Ying Yu’s full-strength blow, that sharp blade was immediately knocked away. As for the person who had been holding that blade, he was also hit by a powerful force. He suddenly flew backwards, and smashed into the stone wall of the cave!

Tianheng also took action, but his target wasn’t the other two people nearby. Instead, it was the pregnant woman on that stone table. Obviously, he didn’t intend to kill this pregnant woman. Instead, he used a streak of qi energy to lift her up, slowly push her to the side, and gently lay her down.

At this time, Tianheng was still wearing the black cloak. His features were covered in a layer of cold frost as he glared at the other two people.

Among them, one person was injured. Currently, he had swallowed a medicinal pill and was in the middle of adjusting his breathing. But the other person was holding something that looked like a clump of mushy meat, and was stuffing it into his mouth a little bit at a time.

The shape of that mushy meat looked as if…it had just been cut out.
