Chapter 1348: Chapter 866: Purgatory
Handing over the Bone Burning Taoist to be supervised by the Boundary Ghost, Yang Xiao then swiftly returned to Xiang Ma Town with Sui Chengguo.
It was already quite late, nearly dawn. Fortunately, the journey was without significant danger, and under the cover of the remaining night, the two of them successfully returned to their residence in Xiang Ma Town.
Without any news from Yang Xiao, Tong Han had been awake all night, only relaxing once she saw Yang Xiao returning with Sui Chengguo.
"Sui, are you injured?" Seeing Sui Chengguo’s arm hanging down strangely, Tong Han’s eyes tightened, immediately wanting to find a doctor.
"No need, I’ll handle this. After dawn, you contact the Rongcheng Patrol Division for me, and have them send people to Qinghe Town to take care of the scene."
After saying this, Yang Xiao paused, then shook his head, "Never mind, I’ll contact them myself. You arrange for reliable people, and increase vigilance during this period."
"Then find a dependable channel to sell the magic artifacts under the name of Marquis Zhengdong."
"Mix in three or four low-level magical artifacts we picked from the Withered Bone Pavilion’s henchmen. Don’t add too many, or it won’t be convincing."
"Understood, but first, help Sui with his injuries." With just one glance, Tong Han could tell Sui Chengguo was severely injured, which was enough to show how intense the battle not long ago must have been.
This time, three people went out, but only two returned. Song Ziming was missing, and Tong Han knew that he had been dealt with by Yang Xiao.
In her heart, Yang Xiao had always been a good person, reliable and full of a sense of justice.
Entering a secret chamber, Yang Xiao opened the Mirror World, and went inside with Sui. At this moment, the expert from the Withered Bone Pavilion, the Bone Burning Taoist, had already awakened, staring in horror at the scene before him.
"I am the protector of the Withered Bone Pavilion. You won’t get away with this; our patron won’t spare you!!" Even though the Bone Burning Taoist was imprisoned, his mouth remained defiant, "Our Withered Bone Pavilion always seeks vengeance!"
Yang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, and the Mirror Ghost came forward, grabbed a piece of rag, and roughly stuffed it into the Bone Burning Taoist’s mouth.
Without any extra words, Yang Xiao had Sui sit not far behind him and then took a deep breath, placing one hand on Sui’s shoulder.
The next second, Sui Chengguo’s hands, which lay flat on his legs, suddenly clenched, and Yang Xiao’s face twisted with pain, while Sui Chengguo’s limp right arm gradually healed, Yang Xiao’s right arm oddly drooped down.
The scene left the Bone Burning Taoist dumbfounded. Once Sui’s arm was healed, Yang Xiao did not hesitate and turned towards the Bone Burning Taoist hanging on the wall. Under the Taoist’s terrified gaze, he raised his hand and gave a palm strike to the Taoist’s bare skull.
The next second, as the ability of the pitch-black human skin activated, the Bone Burning Taoist’s features twisted, and he trembled all over as if enduring extreme pain.
After a short while, Yang Xiao’s right arm was restored, and the Bone Burning Taoist was tortured almost to death, with his right arm rendered useless.
The reason Yang Xiao didn’t completely destroy his limbs and stick him on the wall was to use him for healing.
This fellow’s spiritual power was quite excellent, making him perfect for healing.
Sui Chengguo had suffered greatly in Myanmar and Thailand, with half his face disfigured and one eye blinded, but thanks to the dedication of the Bone Burning Taoist, Sui Chengguo was almost completely restored, and his blinded right eye also regained sight.
Yang Xiao held up a mirror, and Sui Chengguo looked at himself in it, touched his face and arms, overwhelmed with joy.
"Yang, I owe you another favor." Facing Yang Xiao, Sui Chengguo clasped his fist, full of emotion, feeling that befriending Yang Xiao might be the best decision he ever made.
At this moment, Yang Xiao’s spiritual power was almost depleted, healing a high-level apostle took a tremendous toll, leaving his head pounding with pain.
But now was not the time to rest, he still had questions for the Bone Burning Taoist.
Noticing Yang Xiao’s weakness, Sui Chengguo, who had mostly recovered, volunteered to take on the task, "Yang, you rest first, I’ll interrogate him, don’t worry."
The Mirror Ghost pulled over a chair for Yang Xiao to sit and rest, and Yang Xiao rubbed his temples with one hand, pointing at the Bone Burning Taoist who was tortured beyond recognition, gasping, "I’ll stay here."
Sui Chengguo stepped forward, tore away the rag from the Taoist’s mouth, and before he could speak, he heard the Bloodied Bone Burning Taoist barely open one eye, weakly saying, "Please... please no more, I’ll talk, I’ll... I’ll tell you everything."
At these words, Yang Xiao almost laughed in anger, everyone says that the Withered Bone Pavilion’s people are tough, guess they never met him, Yang Xiao.
To verify if this guy was bluffing with false information, Yang Xiao questioned, "Why were you chasing after Song Ziming?"
"He... he played with a woman, and that woman was our Great Protector’s plaything." The Bone Burning Taoist couldn’t even lift his head, answering weakly.
"Just for this?" Yang Xiao asked with interest.
"Yes, it’s... it’s just that."
"You really don’t cry until you see the coffin!" Yang Xiao sneered, and without hesitation, Sui Chengguo standing in front, drew the dagger from his waist, and pressed one of the Taoist’s fingers against the wall, slowly slicing it open.
The Bone Burning Taoist’s screams were piercing, but in this Mirror World, no matter how loud he screamed, no one outside could hear him.
"For a woman, you all crossed provinces with dozens of people to hunt him down, do you think I, Marquis Zhengdong, am a fool?" Yang Xiao performed the act to completion, with himself fully immersed into the new character.
