Chapter 442: Mother's Love
"What a wonderful voice. Ha, I'm beginning to understand that woman." Bai Lan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lan Ning who was sweating profusely in front of him, and stretched out his hand.
"Hand over your soul, and I will spare your life."
"You, you!!!" Lan Ning gritted his teeth and said, "When on earth did such a powerful method appear in the world to silently manipulate my body."
"No, no, no, you seem to have misunderstood something. The heart-eating poison in your body has existed for a year. People who enter this place usually like to review the past. I fully respect this kind of self-reflection, so... guess who implanted the heart-eating poison in your body?" Bai Lan smiled kindly.
"One year, one year ago?" Lan Ning covered his head and began to think.
A figure flashed through his mind, and finally his memory returned to the dark time when he was imprisoned in the forbidden area by He Gui. At that time, except He Gui, no one had ever approached him, except... except Ling'er.
"Yes, it seems you guessed it."
"No! Ling'er hates you so much, how could she join hands with you to harm me!" Lan Ning roared.
"Of course Bai Ling won't join forces with me to harm you, but who can guarantee that I will have to look at this face when I meet her?" Bai Lan smiled slightly, and his face blurred and turned into several human faces.
Old Fu taught Long Aotian the art of disguise, which was later tricked by Diwu Yin and passed on to Bai Lan. From then on, Bai Lan no longer needed to take disguise pills when cheating others. He could change his appearance anywhere and the cost of deceiving people was zero.
Lan Ning then remembered that the person who came to take him away under that powerful pressure just now seemed to be a young man with a crooked smile...
"You lied to Ling'er! How despicable!"
"After receiving my promise that I would definitely reunite Ling'er with Qing Xuan Zhenren, your beloved Ling'er even went so far as to feed you the Heart-Eating Gu. Ah~ Flowers have feelings but water has no feelings for them. How sad." Bai Lan shook his head and sighed: "If I hadn't seen your value, how could the Ghost Mother, who was busy with her retreat to break through, know that her beloved son was suffering at the hands of the He Ghost?"
Bai Lan's words made Lan Ning's brain work like crazy.
Ling'er, Ling'er actually didn't hesitate to harm him for the sake of Master Qingxuan... She didn't love herself at all. From the time they met to the time they got to know each other, Ling'er only had that man in her heart. Whether he was dead or alive, she could not forget him.
Even the matter of his mother saving him was planned by this woman.
She had planted the Heart-Eating Gu in her body from the beginning. Wait! Could it be that she was not really targeting herself, but the Beiming Island, the power behind her mother! ?
Although Lan Ning, the young master of the Demonic Path, is love-brained, he still has some brains because his parents are both Nascent Soul cultivators and his genes are strong.
I soon saw the key.
"You want to use me to get in touch with Beiming Island." Lan Ning suddenly looked up.
"You are too narrow-minded. As the young master of Beiming Island, as long as you are good enough, Ghost Mother will hand over Beiming Island to you sooner or later." Bai Lan stepped forward and patted Lan Ning on the shoulder: "I have always been plotting to take over Beiming Island."
"Impossible! I absolutely won't...uh ahhh." Before Lan Ning could even utter the words of refusal, he once again held his head and struggled in pain.
"I'll give you another chance to reorganize your words."
".....No, I will never be used by someone like you..." Lan Ning said through gritting his teeth.
"Very good, you have backbone. Hongxiao, kill him, this man is useless now." After Bai Lan finished speaking, he stood up and left without stopping for a moment.
"Yes, Master." Zhenren Hongxiao stood up and waved her sleeves, with a hint of murderous intent in the red silk in her hand.
Bai Lan turned around so decisively, without any more words of advice, and tried to negotiate terms and raise bargaining chips, which made Lan Ning panic.
He thought he was a valuable person in Bai Lan's eyes, but he didn't expect that he would be abandoned by that woman so quickly.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"The master hates ignorant people the most. Without you, it is only a matter of time for us to get Beiming Island. You can even kill a Nascent Soul, so what does a mere ghost mother matter to you?" After Hong Xiao finished speaking, she smiled and glanced at the bound soul that was firmly imprisoned by the golden bell.
"..." The silent bound soul did not speak.
"Wait, wait, you are the master of Soul Binding Valley? How did you become like this? Where is your physical body..." Only then did Lan Ning realize that there was a Nascent Soul imprisoned nearby.
"Young Master Lan is quite interesting. He comes quickly and delivers quickly."
Lan Ning got angry.
Seeing this, Binding Soul couldn't help but sneer: "I had placed my hopes on you before, but now it seems ridiculous. Why bother with that little girl? It would have been better to run for my life than to end up being bullied by others now."
"......" Lan Ning couldn't refute.
The fact that the woman had reached the Jindan stage when she first appeared was scary enough, but no one expected that she could even kill a Yuanying stage.
No, that's not right. It definitely wasn't her who did it. He was overthinking it.
Lan Ning still remembered that Bai Lan seemed to have an extremely powerful soul. It was that extremely powerful soul that exerted pressure, which restricted the Nascent Soul cultivators around him and prevented them from saving him in time.
Seeing Lan Ning lost in thought, Hong Xiao twirled the red silk in her hand and walked slowly forward.
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Lan Ning swallowed and said, "Is there no room for further discussion?"
Hong Xiao said nothing, but spiritual power surged in her hands, and she was ready to take action.
"I promise, I promise everything! Don't do anything!" Lan Ning finally compromised before the red silk stabbed into his heart.
When the familiar scene reappeared, the expressions of the system and the spirit of the weapon in the distance no longer fluctuated at all, and they even seemed to want to laugh.
"Hmph." Hong Xiao snorted coldly: "I know exactly what you are thinking. Don't try to play tricks in front of the master. If you want to live, hand over your soul, otherwise."
She had been through this before, so of course she understood the victim's psychology very well.
Those who try to make the leader take a step back will often end up losing more.
"How did you know that I was here?" Seeing that Hong Xiao had solved the problem, Bai Lan put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at Lan Ning to get to the point.
"That's what the Soul Binding Valley Master said... Many cultivators in the Demon Palace are dissatisfied with He Gui's actions, so they have formed an alliance in private. They exchange information, eliminate dissidents, and secretly weaken the power of He Gui's subordinates, waiting for the right opportunity."
Bai Lan understood: "I see."
No wonder the ghost mother allowed Lan Ning to stay here. Now it seems that at least 80% of that motherly love is calculation.
She was planning to secretly help the Anti-Hegui Alliance, and when a war breaks out in the future, when the Demon Palace is in turmoil, let Beiming Island intervene and get a piece of the pie.
