Chapter 1853 - 678: Offending Others_3

In his heart, he continually speculated about the identity of this group of people.

But no matter how he thought, he couldn’t figure it out. Eventually, feeling somewhat drowsy and with his eyes perpetually closed, he drifted off into a hazy sleep.

Already injured, in his sleep he vaguely felt someone turning his body and applying medicine to his wounds.

After the medicine was applied, he felt even more muddled, and in a daze, he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw an oil lamp on the table, emitting light.

Beyond the window, it was already pitch black.

The room was quiet, and there was no trace of the ’Master’ and his companions.

His mind gradually cleared, but his heart was filled with anxiety.

Where did the ’Master’ and his men go?

Why did they leave me here alone?

Is this still the Yizhuang?

How did I suddenly fall asleep just now?

And why did I sleep so deeply?

Several questions surged through his mind, and upon feeling his injuries slightly, he found that they did not hurt at all.

It was as if the stab he received earlier never existed.

Did he receive treatment from a Master Xinglin?

Activating his inner strength slightly, he discovered that it was no longer as heavy or unrelenting.

Now, he could move within a small range.

Immediately, he held his breath and focused entirely on circulating his inner strength, trying to break open the sealed acupoints.

In the midst of such exertion, he didn’t know how much time had passed, and he noticed that the lamp in the room flickered intermittently.

The light cast strange shadows around the room.

Just as he was caught up in this, suddenly footsteps sounded from outside the door.

Ning Xiyin’s expression changed, instinctively looking towards the door, realizing then that he could already open his eyes.

In his heart, he was even more wary of the ’Master’s’ methods.

What kind of acupoint pointing technique is this, where even my eyelids can’t move? It’s simply absurd.

The footsteps outside were far and near, slowly coming to the door.

Ning Xiyin was about to display an angry expression when suddenly his heart stirred...

No!

This person is not the ’Master’!

From the moment the ’Master’ entered this Yizhuang, he showed an arrogant attitude.

Walking briskly, how could he be so leisurely?

The visitor had light steps, even displaying some stealthiness.

Who is this person?

My acupoints are still not opened, and I have no power to protect myself. If a villain enters with the intent to kill, what should be done?

Immediately, he closed his eyes again, continuously circulating his inner strength, attempting to open the acupoints.

Soon, he heard a creak, and someone had already pushed the door open.

He didn’t dare to open his eyes to look, only hearing the wind howling from outside the door.

The sound of pouring rain was even more vivid.

Among these sounds, footsteps approached shortly.

An icy feeling crept over his whole body.

At the same time, a sinister voice sounded:

"There is a road to heaven, which you don’t take... Hell has no gate, yet you come seeking it.

"Do you really think anyone can kick me?"

As soon as this person spoke, Ning Xiyin recognized him.

It was indeed the gatekeeper of this Yizhuang.

He had heard the earlier commotion and should have been kicked by the ’Master’.

Now, he’s probably here to seek revenge on me!

But the problem is, the one who kicked you is the ’Master’—why seek revenge on me instead of him?

"They said they went to the town to buy medicine for you, but when they come back, they’ll only find your corpse, afraid it will be quite a shock?

"Rest assured, I’ll take good care of your corpse.

I’ll carefully apply a layer of poison on your clothes, body, head."

"First, to help you ward off pests, saving your corpse from snakes, insects, and rats.

"Second... when they come back and touch you, they will undoubtedly be poisoned."

"Then, on Huangquan Road, you can continue to be brothers."

We are not brothers!

I don’t even know his name!

Ning Xiyin roared inwardly.

Just wondering why these acupoints were sealed so tightly, still unable to be opened at such a critical time?

Fortunately, the person likes to talk nonsense before killing, otherwise, I’d have already met my end.

In the urgency of the moment, he felt as if the person in front had raised an arm, a cold gleam rising high.

Seeing the knife about to fall.

Ning Xiyin had no options left. Just as he intended to open his eyes and frighten the person, suddenly a gust of chilly wind blew.

Amid the rain, a voice unexpectedly came through.

"Clouds are high, skies are high, above the heavens, aspirations are high.

"Winds are swift, rains are swift, winds and rains are no match for the swiftness of Jianghu."

Upon hearing this voice, the knife originally poised to descend stopped suddenly.

The breath became chaotic, seemingly turning to look back.

Ning Xiyin carefully opened his eyes a little, seeing the person’s face full of panic.

Hurriedly retracting the knife, he turned to walk out.

Before departing, he even forgot to close the door for Ning Xiyin.

"There’s a master in this Yizhuang?"

Ning Xiyin’s heart stirred, and just then, with a thunk, he felt the acupoint on his left arm unblocked.

Immediately, he reached out and rapidly tapped several times on his body, utilizing more than ten acupoint techniques, barely managing to circulate his skill through the blood.

After attempting one after another, it took nearly a quarter of an hour to finally unlock all his acupoints.

He exhaled deeply, without hesitation, sprang up, and walked out.

Outside the door was a wall; climbing over it would mean leaving this Yizhuang.

However, Ning Xiyin hesitated for a moment before looking towards the depths of the Yizhuang.

The speaker earlier, his voice traveled far in the rain.

Demonstrating extraordinary skill, but what makes this humble Yizhuang attract so many masters?

Now that his acupoints are unlocked and momentarily freed, he does not wish to leave immediately but rather wants to explore the secrets hidden here.

Moreover, the ’Master’ definitely did not go to town to buy medicine.

He is likely hiding somewhere within this Yizhuang.

Having sealed his acupoints, their actions are absurd and inexplicable; leaving without understanding the truth would mean missing the chance forever.

Thinking this, after much hesitation, he finally stomped his foot and walked towards the depths of the Yizhuang.

He wanted to see what Mystical things were happening inside this Yizhuang.

In fact, the Yizhuang was not large; Ning Xiyin reached the main hall in no time.

Here, the lights were bright, indicating someone’s presence.

He flew to the rooftop, looked down, and immediately heard a voice coming from outside the door:

"A traveler caught in sudden rain, passing through here, hoping to borrow this honored place to shelter from the rain. Might the owner grant convenience?"
