Not human?

Then this was indeed a piece of unexpected news.

Xiao Xuan hummed. “I mean, how would a normal living person be as strange as he is?”

Ling Fengxiao asked, “Why do you say he is not human?”

“The medicines that he is taking are very peculiar, they are not regular medication for illness or injury. After I discovered that something was not right, I searched through many ancient books and records. Three years ago, I asked a knowledgeable and well-informed black market merchant about several of those medicines. It turned out that those medicines were all for stabilizing the spirit and souls and strengthening the corporeal body. For a mortal being, the three immortal souls and seven mortal forms and the fleshly body are cohesive as one, why would they require reinforcement?”

Ling Fengxiao said, “What you say makes sense.”

Having his conjecture affirmed, Xiao Xuan spoke more vigorously, “After I discovered these matters, I cross-verified the matter from several sources, and even sent someone to catch a rabbit spirit with weak cultivation. The rabbit spirit’s cultivation method is so ordinary that it is only able to change into a human form during the full moon — and the human form that it takes is very ugly. I followed the Great Wizard’s prescription and made the rabbit spirit drink a bowl. As a result, this rabbit spirit was able to maintain a human form for more than three months, and it was incredibly grateful to me—this proves how potent this medication is.”

Ling Fengxiao, “However, Heaven and Earth have laws, spirits and monsters that have taken human form will have less spiritual ability than humans.”

Speaking of the Great Wizard’s cultivation base… it was probably nine levels higher than the average.

Xiao Xuan nodded. “So, this person is definitely not an ordinary spirit or monster, but more likely to be a very powerful demonic creature.”

Ling Fengxiao for the time being, suspended his disbelief and agreed with the other party’s observation, nodding, he asked, “Given that you know that he is not human, what do you intend to do? ”

Xiao Xuan said, “Naturally, I won’t sit helplessly and wait for death.”

Ling Fengxiao, “Hmm.”

Lin Shu felt that Ling Fengxiao was still very pleased and at ease.

Xiao Lingyang was an idle do-nothing, Ling Fengxiao did not have a bright and motivated younger brother, and was often troubled about it. However, Prince Xiao Xuan, his distant cousin, could be considered to fill this vacancy.

Xiao Xuan said, “The background of the Great Wizard is a mystery, and his cultivation level is extremely high. If I fight him, it is no different from hitting a rock with an egg. However, I think that, no matter how terrifying he is, there are bound to be one or two weaknesses that I will ferret out.”

Ling Fengxiao, “You found something?”

Xiao Xuan proudly said, “Of course I have.”

Ling Fengxiao, “Hmm?”

Xiao Xuan, “The three days before and after the fifteenth of every month, his residence is always extremely heavily guarded, and he himself does not even take a step out of his mansion. Only after these seven days have pa.s.sed, does he again move about. At this time, his aura is much weaker than usual. I have been observing him for many years, before I determined that the fifteenth of every month must be when he is weakest. If we attack during this time, our odds of success will be greatly improved.”

Lin Shu saw Ling Fengxiao frown, his eyes filled with rumination.

He also considered the matter.

Now that one mentioned it, at Jubei Pa.s.s and in the Dragon Court, each time that he met the Great Wizard, it was not before or after the fifteenth, but usually at the beginning or end of the month.

During the Sorcerers Gathering, Ling Fengxiao and he fought against the wizards of Northern Xia. The commotion in the city had been huge, the two Left and Right Protectors of the Great Wizard had been destroyed, but he had not showed up – thinking about it now, the Sorcerer’s Gathering that year, had been held around the fifteenth.

Therefore, during the full moon, the Great Wizard seemed to have some issues with his condition.

Then this Great Wizard is not only a ruthless man but also a werewolf.

“At this point in time, it is nearing the fifteenth of the month,” Ling Fengxiao looked at Xiao Xuan. “So the reason you invited us here is so that you can borrow our strength to get rid of the Great Wizard.”

Xiao Xuan said, “There is no one else that I can trust, everyone around could be a spy for the Great Wizard, hence I can only ask for aid from Southern Xia.”

“And when making use of Southern Xia’s people, even if something goes amiss, you can keep yourself out of it.” Ling Fengxiao said matter of factly.

Xiao Xuan grinned. “This humble one will do my best to a.s.sist”

“Forget it.”

Suddenly, Ling Fengxiao swiftly dislocated Xiao Xuan’s jaw and stuffed in a purple-black pill!

Then put the dislocated bones back together.

Xiao Xuan, whose cultivation level was too low to even worth mentioning, in this manner just swallowed something unexpectedly.

According to normal logic, this was an extremely toxic poison pill, and only Ling Fengxiao possessed the antidote. If Ling Fengxiao died in the process of dealing with the Great Wizard, Xiao Xuan would not be able to survive either.

Lin Shu watched this scene silently.

This cousin was still too naive.

Ling Fengxiao’s character would never pa.s.sively let himself fall into a reactive position. There was a possibility that Xiao Xuan intended to cooperate in goodwill, but if his plan was to sacrifice them as p.a.w.ns, and keep himself safe and unscathed, his plan would never work.

Xiao Xuan coughed desperately, but found that he couldn’t cough the pill back up, so he had to resign himself to accept the arrangement.

They began to discuss the matter at hand.

Today was the fourteenth, and tomorrow the fifteenth. At this time tomorrow, they would pay the Great Wizard’s residence a night visit.

Time doesn’t wait for anyone. If they miss the opportunity this month, they would have to wait for the next month. And in between, the Great Wizard might again disperse the blood poison.

At the end of the meeting, Xiao Xuan arranged for them to stay in the same room as before.

Xiao Xuan said, “The two beauties have such a good relationship with one another, I expected that after three years, you would still stay in the same room together – hence I didn’t make any other arrangements. Is this acceptable?”

Ling Fengxiao, “Acceptable.”

Xiao Xuan crinkled his eyes in a smile and left.

The moon was almost full.

For no reason, Lin Shu remembered the letter from the Great Wizard to him with a poem written behind it.

At this time, we gaze at the moonlight together but do not hear one other.

If only I could follow the moonlight and fly to your side.

With his superficial knowledge, he could make out that the poem was filled with ambiguous feelings, and since he had a desire for survival, he chose not to share this with Ling Fengxiao.

The two of them evaluated the martial arts moves, discussed the Great Wizard’s peculiar martial arts, made some guesses with regards to the background of the Great Wizard, and without realizing it, it was already late at night.

Coincidentally, in this bedroom, there was also a huge floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror on the opposite side of the bed.

Lin Shu watched Young Lady Danzhu do this and that to Young Lady Yusu, do more of this and that, and finally faced the bed and frowned.

This person despised unfamiliar beds.

Lin Shu pa.s.sively hugged the slender waist of Young Lady Danzhu, while he felt that he had just escaped a calamity, but he felt that he would still not be able to escape with his life eventually.

In a flash, it was the evening of the next day.

The place where the Great Wizard lived was a tall tower.

This high tower was originally set up by the Jie tribe to worship the “Banna Pilu G.o.d”, and it has gradually become a residence for the Great Wizards of the past dynasties.

This G.o.d was an evil deity. According to the legends of the Jie tribe, in ancient times, people would be interrogated and tortured by the G.o.d of Pilu, and if they had committed any evil deeds, they would be eaten alive by the Pilu G.o.d.

While Pilu G.o.d traversed the mortal world, he found that there was no one who was completely good, dying of satiety, and turned into a ghost. After death, people would be judged. According to the severity of the evil deeds, there were different penalties. The penalties were terrible without exception. If the eyes were eaten by the G.o.d of Pilu, their next reincarnation would be blind. If the tongue was eaten, they would be mute in their next life. If the entire body was eaten, they would be reincarnated as an animal or plant.

In order to satiate the Pilu G.o.d earlier, the Jie Tribe sacrificed three hundred people every year.

Lin Shu looked towards the top of the tower.

The tower was dark, and there was a flickering light on the top of the tower.

He looked towards Ling Fengxiao again.

Ling Fengxiao was wiping the blade.

The dark-colored body of the blade was shrouded with a fiendish aura.

He opened his mouth to ask, “Do you agree with the Great Wizard’s way of thinking?”

When Ling Fengxiao spoke, he was still able to distinguish a serious comment from a joke.

While discussing the views of the Great Wizard, this person had said, “If there are no people in the world, or everyone has been turned into ignorant and unfeeling corpses, the world will indeed be quiet and peaceful.”

This sentence shocked Xiao Xuan.

In Lin Shu’s view, Ling Fengxiao’s expression while uttering this sentence, did not seem to be fake.

It was at this time, Ling Fengxiao finished cleaning the blade.

Returning the blade into its sheath, and the fiendish aura was hidden away.

“Uh-huh,” He nodded.

Lin Shu made a meaningless sound to show his agreement.

He turned back, and then looked at the tower, thinking about how they could ascend safely.

Then Ling Fengxiao’s clear and cold voice was heard, his tone sounded like he was sighing, and said blandly behind him, “However, what crime is the world guilty of?”
