454 He Has Been Purified By Me

However, this Blue Star Clock was a little strange.

Lin Qiye felt that it was a pretty good treasure. However, it seemed about to be destroyed after only a crack appeared.

The situation was abnormal.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the Blue Star Clock suddenly trembled. A dazzling white light flashed, and a figure appeared in the hall.

A man stood in front of the Blue Star Clock, wearing a green robe and holding a silver sword.

His face was full of anger and fear.

“Bastard! I’m going to kill you!”

Before Lin Qiye and the evil spirit could figure out what was going on, the green-robed man raised his sword and charged at the evil spirit.

The evil spirit was greatly shocked. It was gravely injured and had no strength to dodge.

Lin Qiye snorted and appeared in front of the evil spirit in a flash.

At the same time, he raised his right hand and easily caught the sword right in front of him.

“Calm down!”

He exerted a little force, and the long sword in the green-robed man’s hand was instantly thrown out.

To Lin Qiye, the evil spirit might still have some useful information on him.

Therefore, he could not watch the evil spirit be killed.

On the other side, after losing his weapon, the green-robed man finally noticed a petite infant soul had blocked him.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual energy in the soul, and it seemed to have no cultivation base.

However, the strong sense of oppression indicated that he had terrifying power.

The green-robed man calmed down.

When he realized he was no longer in the manor, he looked at Lin Qiye warily and said, “Who are you? Why do you want to protect it?”

When he saw Lin Qiye’s body emitting a peaceful aura, he concluded that Lin Qiye was not an evil spirit that had fallen into the wrong path.

However, he didn’t understand why Lin Qiye protected the evil spirit.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m the guardian spirit of this place. As for him, I’ve already subdued him. He’s no longer a threat.”

Seeing that the green-robed man had calmed down, Lin Qiye returned the sword to him.

The green-robed man secretly sized up Lin Qiye and quickly made a judgment.

Lin Qiye’s strength is unfathomable. There’s no need to lie to him.

He put away his sword and glanced at the evil spirit behind Lin Qiye. He cupped his fists and bowed, “Thank you for your help, good sir.”

Lin Qiye nodded. He then casually beckoned for a futon and gestured for the man to sit.

“There’s no need to be so polite. Have a seat. There’s something I want to know from you.”

The green-robed man hesitated for a moment but quickly sat down cross-legged. He said straightforwardly, “Please ask, Sir. As long as it doesn’t involve the taboo of my sect, I will tell you everything I know.”

A religious taboo?

Lin Qiye nodded slightly. It seemed that this green-robed man should be similar to the evil spirit. They were both in a sect.

“First, tell me your name and background.”

To gain a deeper understanding of the forces in this world, Lin Qiye could only start with the most detailed questions.

“Sir, my name is Luo Xiaobei. I’m a disciple of the Evil Slayer Sect.

Luo Xiaobei glanced at the evil spirit.

When the latter heard this name, it trembled slightly as if it was about to remember something, but it quickly showed a pained expression.

“Do you know him?” Lin Qiye glanced at the evil spirit and looked at Luo Xiaobei.

Luo Xiaobei nodded and looked at the evil spirit with a complicated expression.

“I’m from the same sect as him. He’s my senior brother, nicknamed Butcher, and is one of the few elite disciples in the sect. But that’s all in the past.”

Lin Qiye was slightly surprised. He did not expect the two to be fellow disciples.

“Do you mean he joined another sect later on?”

Luo Xiaobei shook his head and looked at the evil spirit. “No, when he was alive, he was in the same sect as me. But now...”

When he reached this part, a faint trace of pain and resentment appeared in his eyes.

Lin Qiye didn’t know what had happened in between, but he suddenly remembered hearing about it from the villagers of Wuxiang Village.

When they discovered an evil spirit in the courtyard, they immediately reported it to the authorities, and the authorities even invited three sorcerers over.

However, the evil spirit was too powerful, and the three men did not come out after entering.

When Lin Qiye and the others went over, they only found two corpses.

The last one should be Luo Xiaobei.

“There were three of you before, and he killed two of you? ”

“Yes.” Luo Xiaobei lowered his head and grimaced.

His voice trembled as he slowly recounted what had happened. “After we entered that courtyard, we discovered him. Ah Tong tried to purify the evil energy and resentment in his body, but he suddenly attacked. Brother Lei rushed over to rescue him, but he was no match for the Butcher.

“And I... relied on the Blue Star Clock to survive...”

Luo Xiaobei clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

His ears seemed to be echoing with the voices of his two brothers, shouting in desperation.

“Xiaobei, run!”

“Argh! Quickly run!”

Lin Qiye fell silent.

He could sense that the two victims must have a close relationship with Luo Xiaobei.

When the evil spirit heard these words, it gradually recalled what had happened.

It suddenly widened its eyes and looked at Luo Xiaobei. It wanted to say something, but its mouth hung open without a word.

Luo Xiaobei lowered his head and did not notice the evil spirit’s actions. He gritted his teeth and tried hard not to cry.

Lin Qiye didn’t ask further and gave him time to calm down.

After a long time, Luo Xiaobei took a deep breath and continued, “I relied on the sealing ability of the Blue Star Clock to lock myself in.

“The Blue Star Clock is an Immortal Level Magic Treasure. Even someone at the peak of the Incarnation Realm wouldn’t be able to hurt it.

“But I didn’t expect that he used some method and started to slowly nibble away at the inscriptions on the Blue Star Clock!

“I wanted to stop it, but whatever I did was ineffective.

“Then, just as I was about to give up, that devouring power suddenly disappeared.”

Luo Xiaobei’s heart palpitated with fear at the mention of the force that had devoured the inscriptions of the Blue Star Clock.

He took a deep breath and continued, “After that, it was silent for some time. I didn’t dare to come out. Until just now, when the Blue Star Clock was attacked again, and because of the corrosion of the inscriptions, it could no longer bear it and began to crack. It was about to collapse.

“I had no choice but to show myself. Sir, you know what happened after that.”

Lin Qiye understood many things after hearing this.

“No wonder the bell was about to shatter after I hit it a few times. It was already severely damaged.”

Lin Qiye shook his head slightly as he looked at the pained evil spirit.

This man called The Butcher had killed two of his junior brother’s good friends.

How could it face it in the future?

Now, even if Lin Qiye didn’t kill him, his junior brother would probably not let him off.

“This lowly one will never forget your’s life-saving grace! When this matter is over, and I report to the sect leader, I will resign from my position and become your servant to repay your kindness!”

Luo Xiaobei suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Lin Qiye. He kowtowed three times.

“I beg you to agree to let me deal with that evil spirit after I return!”

Luo Xiaobei’s eyes were filled with hatred and determination.

Lin Qiye sighed as he watched. “You may rise.”

He could tell Luo Xiaobei’s offer to serve him was not really because he had saved him.

He wanted to deal with the evil spirit himself. Becoming a slave or a servant was the price of exchange.

“I can tell that your relationship with those two fellows is extraordinary. However...”

Lin Qiye looked at Luo Xiaobei and suddenly became serious. He pointed at the evil spirit and said, “If I tell you that I have already purified it and restored its consciousness, are you sure you still want to do that?”

Had it regained its consciousness?

These words were like a bolt of lightning on a clear day.

Luo Xiaobei felt a buzz in his head. Then, he turned to look at the evil spirit, and the hatred in his eyes began to flicker.

Before he heard Lin Qiye’s words, he could make a move without hesitation and exterminate that evil spirit.

However, Lin Qiye was now telling him that his senior brother, corrupted by resentment and turned into an evil spirit, had been purified and restored its consciousness.

Was this illusionary figure his senior brother or the murderer of his good friends?
