Chapter 02: Capturing the Enemy
Time is passing, the cat demon girl closes her eyes and grits her teeth to endure
No? Qin Yun looked at her coldly, "But you are harming him."
Demon servant?" Qin Yun's voice was icy
Indoors
"Is it pleasure?" Qin Yun sneered, "His yang energy is so weak, it cannot merely be for pleasure. Perhaps you are intentionally absorbing his yang energy. You could easily drain all of his yang energy in one go, yet you only take a little each time. What exactly is your scheme?"
"Magic?" The young girl felt a tremor in her heart
Whoosh
The courtyard covers several acres, and there are also several servants patrolling. In the shadows, there are even skilled guards standing watch.
Through the法眼, two hidden elite guards and six patrolling servants, each with a distinct life force, were visible. Qin Yun also perceived the life forces of his elder brother, Qin An, and his wife and children, who should all be asleep by now. Within the range of his法眼, even with houses obstructing the view, all life forces remained unmistakably discernible.
What? The young girl was taken aback, unable to hold back the tears in her eyes, "I did not, I did not intend to harm Qin Lang"
Based on the mark I left on my elder brother, this is it. Qin Yun looked at the residence, This is my first time visiting my elder brother's residence, and I didn't expect it to be because of the matter concerning the monster
He must understand the reason behind his elder brother being poisoned
Qin Yun's eyelid twitched
With a single step, he had already leaped over more than ten zhang to the roof of a pavilion within the courtyard, silently crouching as he surveyed the entire estate.
Qin Yun fell silent
"It is right in Guangling County City," the cat demon girl said honestly in order to save her life
As evening approached, elder brother "Qin An" reluctantly bid farewell to his brothers and set off for the southern city with his wife and children in a horse-drawn carriage
"Alright, I promise you, as long as I can find the mastermind behind this and confirm that it was he who instructed you to do it, I can spare your life," said Qin Yun
... ...
If the demonic energy has entered the soul, then there is truly no hope; one can only rely on the master of the demonic energy to survive
Grasping the shoulder of the cat demon girl, Qin Yun quietly left his elder brother's residence. The servants within the residence continued their patrols, completely unaware of any commotion, and did not know that a cat demon, which had been lurking in the residence for half a year, had already been captured
"It cannot be considered a demon servant. If I so wish, I can extract the demonic energy from its master, allowing it to return to normal," said the cat demon girl.
Seal
Life and death are controlled by the monsters, obediently becoming the servants of the monsters
The cat demon girl felt a surge of joy in her heart, for she knew that the stronger the human cultivators were, the prouder and more arrogant they tended to be, and the more they valued their promises. A promise is worth a thousand gold pieces, and they would not easily go back on their word
At this moment, the girl had already undergone a significant transformation; hair had grown all over her body, and her head was also covered with hair. Her ears had transformed into cat ears, her eyes had turned green with vertical pupils, and she possessed sharp teeth in her mouth. She still attempted to struggle. However, a large amount of true essence surged into the cat demon girl from Qin Yun's left hand, and he once again cast a sealing technique within her body, rendering her unable to resist immediately.
At that time, when the demonic energy permeates the three souls and seven spirits, even a highly skilled practitioner would be helpless here. At this moment, he would either fall gravely ill and die, or only I, the master of this demonic energy, would be able to save him. From then on, he would have no choice but to rely on me to live
The cat demon girl felt a tremor in her heart, realizing that the person before her had likely killed numerous demons and was not a novice practitioner. Faced with a life-and-death situation, she thought to herself: "If I don't speak, it's certain death. If I foolishly say something, it might still lead to death! I can't afford to hesitate; I can only seek survival amidst death."
Found it. Qin Yun quickly saw the dense green demonic aura in one of the rooms where the maid resided
The cat demon girl is also gambling; she believes that if this person wants to save Qin An, they will certainly want to uncover the mastermind behind it.
There are indeed those who fall in love and have children with monsters; merely indulging in pleasure, how could one's vitality weaken to such an extent?" Qin Yun scoffed, "At this point, still lying, why not be honest and speak the truth?
As the night wore on, when Qin An had fallen into a deep sleep, she could still go and absorb the yang energy once more. The young girl closed her eyes, patiently waiting in silence
I did not harm him, truly I did not. The young girl repeatedly said, "Senior, you must believe me"
If my senior is unwilling to grant me a chance to live, then I would rather choose to die. The cat demon girl gritted her teeth
"Is there no evil? Then how come the master Qin An is filled with your demonic aura, deeply embedded in his flesh and organs?" Qin Yun did not rush to take action, as he had too many doubts. "If this continues, the master Qin An will likely fall gravely ill in no time, with medicine unable to save him, and only death awaiting."
As Qin Yun entered, he also cast a spell, and a light barrier spread out, enveloping both Qin Yun and the girl inside the room. Naturally, this light barrier was invisible to the naked eye.
Open, Law Eye!
I am willing to lead the way, but I ask that you spare my life, for I am merely a small demon, forced into this situation.
Hmph, it will take another three months for the demonic energy to truly merge with his three souls and seven spirits; only then will it be considered a great success. The girl's eyes glinted with a terrifying malice, "Counting the six months I have already spent here, I have served as a maid for this insignificant wealthy merchant for nine months? Once the leader's grand plan is accomplished, all those who have insulted or bullied me in this residence will be devoured one by one"
"Senior, your keen insight cannot be deceived by my limited abilities," said the cat demon girl. "I have been working hard as a maid, absorbing only a small amount of yang energy each time. Over time, I hope that my demon energy will gradually permeate. Now that it has penetrated my skin and internal organs, in another two or three months, I fear it will be able to infiltrate my three souls and seven spirits"
"Senior, please show mercy and grant me a way to live; I will lead the way right now," said the cat demon girl.
Qin Yun, who could stand aside, moved even faster; he almost instantly reached the girl, extending his left hand to grab her.
Most monsters cultivate by absorbing the lunar energy from the moon, as solitary yin cannot thrive. To achieve a balance of yin and yang, the power of the sun is too terrifying, while the yang energy of humans is the best choice. Absorbing it greatly aids the cultivation of monsters. Therefore, it is quite common for monsters to absorb yang energy. However, for a single monster to spend a year and a half, absorbing only a small amount each time, and still serve as a maid? It is a tremendous waste of time. With that time, they could absorb from hundreds of people, taking in a portion from each, thus increasing their absorption significantly.
"So it turns out to be a cat demon," Qin Yun said softly, gazing at the young girl before him. Through his magical vision, he could naturally discern the girl's true form
A young girl dressed in form-fitting clothing is sitting cross-legged on the bed, frowning.
Absorbing Yang energy is quite common
Suddenly
Where is your leader?
Night falls
Qin Yun's dual pupils, deep within their irises, condensed with magical patterns, and once again opened the eye of magic
I am also acting on the orders of my clan leader, the cat demon girl said, the reasons behind it are unclear to me
"Take me there." Qin Yun glanced at the cat demon girl
The young girl, dressed in form-fitting clothing, timidly stepped down from the bed, standing there barefoot with her small feet, softly pleading: "Senior, spare my life, senior, spare my life. Although I am in the Qin family, I have not committed any wrongdoing."
Whoosh
The spell "Banishing Technique" can seal off the four directions, effectively trapping enemies! It can also isolate the inside from the outside, preventing others from hearing any sound. Furthermore, it can restrict the enemy's strength, making it an extremely advantageous spell.
I, I do not know either... The girl's tears fell, filled with immense pain
Qin Yun changed into a set of black clothing and arrived outside the residence of his elder brother, Qin An, standing in the dark corner
"Speak, there is no need to lie in front of me, it is futile. If you do not provide a reason that convinces me, then I will have no choice but to eliminate you." Qin Yun looked at her
I did not, I did not intend to harm him, I do not know!" the girl said anxiously, "To be honest with you, I truly love Qin Lang, how could I bear to harm him? It is just that as a monster, I have always been afraid to tell Qin Lang. Could it be that my affection for Qin Lang has allowed the demonic energy to seep into his body?"
With a thud, the cat demon girl was casually thrown to the ground
Too fast
The figure, blurred and silent, crossed a distance of over ten zhang and arrived at the door of the house. With a gentle push, the bolt inside naturally opened.
The girl panicked and tried to dodge, but that seemingly ordinary left hand was impossible to evade, as its five fingers easily grasped her neck
The young girl was secretly astonished: "This young man appears very youthful, and I thought he had only average insight. I intended to deceive him and find an opportunity to escape, but to my surprise, he could even see through my absorption of Yang energy."
"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way." Qin Yun grasped the shoulder of the cat demon girl, who was unable to resist.
The young girl opened her eyes, sensing something, and immediately saw the young man in black entering through the door. The young man in black walked in casually, and as he entered, an invisible wave spread out from him as the center.
It is merely being held back for now
The door was pushed open silently, without making the slightest sound
Qin Yun casually closed the door to the room again
The art of magic is a method derived from the insights of eminent figures from both the Daoist and Buddhist traditions throughout history, drawn from the natural world. Such magical arts are kept secret and are exceedingly difficult to perform, with a very high threshold for entry. The ability to wield such magic already demonstrates the formidable nature of the young man in black before us
My father, Qin Liehu, is one of the three chief captains of the Silver Medals and a powerful figure in the city of Guangling.
But immediately, without any warning, she charged towards the side window. Her speed was so fast that in an instant, she transformed into a phantom, and her right hand sprouted fur, with sharp claws emerging. With a sudden swipe of her right claw, she aimed to tear apart the barrier of light.
"Speak," Qin Yun said, looking at her, as an invisible aura of menace enveloped the surroundings
Extracting the demonic energy? It has already permeated the soul; to extract even a trace of it would likely take several years. Qin An is merely a small merchant, not worth such great effort from you. " Qin Yun said coldly, "Is it because of his father?"
A fierce monster, treated like a maid and ordered around for half a year, how could it not feel anger in its heart
