Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint your trust

Wei Linchen, alone, was not a match for the group of Puppets.

As several more brutal Puppets lunged at him, his physical strength started to wane.

His cultured face, arms, back, and even legs were all injured by the Puppets.

Exhausted and reduced to a sorry state, Wei Linchen became controlled by multiple Puppets.

One of the Puppets stood in front of him, its hands growing into sharp claws.

It seemed to be particularly interested in Wei Linchen’s eyes, its sharp nails threateningly closing in on his cold, proud eyes.

Wei Linchen coldly stared at the incoming black nails, his face showing no traces of the millions of emotions running through his mind.

His eyes were only a few centimeters away from the nails as he struggled against the confines of his body.

The Puppet was too strong, he could not break free.

Knowing his death was inevitable, Wei Linchen gritted his teeth, his face fierce, and spat out, "Damn it, even in the Netherworld, I will seek revenge against you."

He, who had always lived a privileged life, had never endured such humiliation.

Even though he was still a novice, he was a Heavenly Master. He had no mortal sins in this life, so he would be well-treated in the Netherworld.

He would have the chance to take revenge on this group of Puppets then.

Just as Wei Linchen had braced himself for death, the image of his indifferent father appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, his vision blurred.

Dense, dark fog filled his eyes, quickly followed by a flash of dazzling golden light.

Wei Linchen’s arm was pulled up, freeing him from the clutch of the Puppet.

Qin Ruan looked at the disheveled Wei Linchen, her eyebrows furrowed.

She looked upset and complained, "All because I fell silent for a moment, Lin Hao let you out his sight!"

Hearing the familiar voice reverberate in his ears, Wei Linchen’s eyes lit up.

Turning around, he saw Qin Ruan, unharmed and standing by his side, without even a speck of dust on her.

Before he had time to wonder, he was pulled behind Qin Ruan.

The Puppets around them charged once again.

Wei Linchen and Qin Ruan stood back to back, surrounded by a throng of Puppets, preparing to break through the encirclement together.

However, he saw no Puppets rushing at Qin Ruan’s back like they had before. They all kept a safe distance.

As if they were wary of something.

Just as Wei Linchen was filled with confusion, a Puppet charged at him again.

He immediately set himself into a defensive stance, ready to fight.

However, when the Puppet was about one meter away from him, it was thrown back by an invisible force and crashed awkwardly onto the ground.

Wei Linchen’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Qin Ruan, why can’t these Puppets come near me?"

Qin Ruan, who was in the middle of absorbing the Evil Qi, let a small smirk cross her lips.

Her voice was calm and there was no trace of strain from battle, "They are not able to come near me."

Another Puppet charged at Wei Linchen from the front.

Even though he had no idea why Qin Ruan had this ability, he couldn’t deny the sense of relief looking at the green-faced, foul smelling Puppets. He felt a weight lift off his chest.

At the very least, he was safe now, thanks to Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan had her hands on countless souls, absorbing the Evil Qi from them while saying solemnly to Wei Linchen behind her, "Mr. Wei, I’m entrusting my back to you."

Wei Linchen’s eyes dimmed slightly, his face serious, "Rest assured, I won’t let you down!"

He understood very well what one’s back represented.

At Shengshi Academy, he and Qin Ruan were teacher and student, but due to their aloof attitudes at work, they barely interacted.

In the ’Emperor Beitai in Power’ WeChat group, they had known each other for over half a year.

Even though they chat frequently, they were not that close.

That Qin Ruan would entrust her back to him showed her trust in him.

Wei Linchen knew that standing behind Qin Ruan, he would be out of danger and used this opportunity to quickly recover his strength.

He carelessly brushed his slightly long bangs, and pulled out a Universe Bell from his rucksack, which had at some point been torn.

"Ring...ring..."

The Universe Bell rang. The surrounding puppets spiraled into disarray.

Faced with such a plentiful amount of Evil Qi before him, Qin Ruan absorbed it without pause.

But there were always irritating things causing trouble.

The little girl from before appeared again.

She stared at Qin Ruan with gloomy and obsessive eyes, her expression filled with resentment as if she wished for Qin Ruan’s death.

Qin Ruan saw her too, disdain flickering in her eyes.

The Evil Qi of the puppets in her hand was completely drained, and she casually flung them aside, and reached out to grab the little girl.

Sensing danger, the little girl desperately rushed towards the Huangjue Tree.

And in an instant, she merged with the tree.

Shock filled Qin Ruan’s eyes, which quickly turned to caution.

"Aaaaahhh!!!"

The puppet girl screamed eerily from within the tree.

The Huangjue Tree began to shake again, the rustling leaves created an urgent sound.

Qin Ruan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly as she watched the tree soar into the sky, revealing a human face on the trunk.

Even with just a slight glimpse of it, it was clear that it was the face of the girl from before.

Qin Ruan stopped absorbing the Evil Qi, her eyes locked on more than a hundred puppet spectators around her.

They began to launch surprise attacks from all directions.

With a glance, she lifted her hand and dozens of puppets were wrapped in strands of golden light.

The Evil Qi from these puppets rushed wildly towards Qin Ruan.

Even while absorbing the Evil Qi, Qin Ruan kept her eye on the Huangjue Tree in the distance.

As she watched the face on the tree trunk become more and more distinct, she called out a warning to the person behind her, "Professor Wei, be careful of the tree!"

Wei Linchen shifted his stance and turned to observe the Huangjue Tree.

He peered at the contorted human face etched on the tree trunk.

The girl from before was attempting to merge with the Huangjue Tree?

Wei Linchen’s expression changed drastically, his voice serious, "Qin Ruan, all I have right now is the Universe Bell, I can’t intervene."

Without turning her head, Qin Ruan replied, "Give me your hand!"

Wei Linchen instinctively extended his left hand, the one not holding the Universe Bell.

A golden whip, enveloped by a holy golden glow, consciously found its way into his palm.

Qin Ruan’s voice quickly followed, "The Huangjue Tree’s humanoid form is not here, that puppet girl wants to fuse with the Huangjue Tree’s original form, use the whip to drive her out, don’t let her create chaos!"

The Huangjue Tree had already transformed into a human figure, but that figure wasn’t present here, only its original form remained.

If the little girl managed to merge with the Huangjue Tree, it would absorb plants for several kilometers around, making things very difficult and inexplicable to the outside world.

Right now, all Qin Ruan wanted to do was to quietly absorb the Evil Qi without being disturbed.

As for the evil influences of Odi School, she would deal with them one by one after she had finished absorbing the Evil Qi.

Wei Linchen looked down at the golden whip in his hand, which held immense power. His voice was slightly strained, "I’ll give it a try!"

He stored the Universe Bell and held the golden whip in his right hand.

The face etched on the Huangjue Tree became clearer and clearer. He had to stop it now.

He used a great deal of strength when he gripped the handle of the golden whip.

Even though the wealth of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple was limited, he had seen a fair amount of magic artifacts.

Yet, amongst all the magic artifacts he had seen, Qin Ruan’s whip could be considered a rare treasure.

Just by looking at the divine aura encircling the whip, he was unsure whether he could even raise it.

Wei Linchen took a deep breath, lifted his right arm, and swung the golden whip in his hand.
