Chapter 373: Chapter 374: Being Knocked Away_1

"Xue Ling!" Nan Feng knocked on the door, "Don’t do anything foolish!"

Outside came the voice of Xue Ling, "This place isn’t fun, I’m not going to play anymore, I’m leaving!"

Just as her voice faded, the sounds of a fight broke out outside.

"Sister Nan Feng, there is a window here!" Feng Gu alerted Nan Feng, who quickly leaned in to look.

Xue Ling was already fighting the men in black outside. Her movements were agile, her attacks brutal - a stark contrast to the delicate, lazy woman they usually saw, proving her Martial Arts were extraordinarily strong.

Swiftly, Xue Ling had knocked over more than a dozen men in black. It seemed she might just break out by force after all.

Yet, more and more black-clad men rushed forward, equipped with weapons and from the Evil Cult, fighting desperately. They showed no mercy towards Xue Ling, a young girl, aiming to kill her with every strike.

Unafraid, Xue Ling fought back fiercely, taking down another dozen men in no time.

But as Xue Ling knocked down yet another group and was about to charge toward the exit, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared from nowhere. Nan Feng urgently warned Xue Ling, "Watch out!"

But it was too late, Xue Ling was flown backwards by the figure’s palm strike. Her body flew outwards, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and it took a moment before she could move again.

After knocking down Xue Ling, the shadowy figure landed next to a coconut tree. The surrounding people, both standing and those injured by Xue Ling, struggled to kneel and shouted, "Long live the leader of the Bashen Sect, for all eternity!"

What kind of Kung Fu was this? Mysterious, and powerful enough to send Xue Ling–whom Nan Feng thought quite capable in Martial Arts–flying with a single strike!

The leader’s fierce gaze fixed on Xue Ling, who lay on the ground, "To shed your sweat for the Holy Tree is your honor. However, you rejected its kindness. Today, you must accompany the Holy Tree in death!"

No sooner had their leader finished speaking, the other cult members also chanted, "Accompany in death, accompany in death!"

Xue Ling had been hit hard and hadn’t yet fully recovered. Her earlier fierceness was gone. She was swiftly tied up and hoisted mid-air.

Perhaps as a warning to others, the cult members gathered all the girls to witness. The leader proclaimed with a grim expression, "From now on, anyone who disrespects the Bashen Sect and the Holy Tree will suffer the same fate as her!"

Xue Ling was suspended in the air, with torches beneath her. They intended to roast her, but not high enough to burn her, just enough to make her sweat.

Nan Feng was both anxious and enraged.

She had warned Xue Ling not to be so impulsive. She wondered when Brother Ye would arrive. If he didn’t arrive soon, Xue Ling would surely die.

Had he noticed the rice she had scattered?

Was he on his way?

Once the torches below were lit, Xue Ling above began to sweat. Large beads of perspiration fell like rain. If this continued, she would suffocate from the smoke.

Nan Feng couldn’t understand why Xue Ling decided to sneak in, and why she didn’t take better care of herself once she did.

She glanced at the sect leader standing above. He was watching Xue Ling, watching her struggle, dripping with sweat. His eyes were full of satisfaction, his hands clenched tight, his body trembling. Xue Ling’s pain seemed to bring him great pleasure, as if he could find his joy in her suffering.

Nan Feng couldn’t help but blurt out, "What a freak."
