It could be seen that the relationship between these two people was not very good! Perhaps it was not accurate enough to say they didn’t have a good relationship. It should be said that the two of them were more like enemies than husband and wife!
After more than ten minutes of torture, Huangfu Ruiling waved his hand again. The black fume emerged from Duo Luoqi’s body and then disappeared after returning to Huangfu Ruiling’s hand.
The pain in his body finally disappeared. Duo Luoqi felt that he didn’t even have the strength to raise his hand. At this moment, he looked particularly disheveled. His body was covered in dust, and his entire person seemed to be in an awkward situation.
After experiencing such torture, he could no longer bring up any hatred when facing Ye Leng’an. All he could feel was endless fear. He knew very well that the reason he was tortured like this was because of the words he had just said to Ye Leng’an.
That kind of torture was even more painful than death. He did not want it, nor did he have the courage to experience it again.
Ye Leng’an looked at Duo Luoqi who was lying on the ground like a dead fish with calmness in her eyes. She wasn’t a saint, so she naturally wouldn’t sympathize with such a person.
Did Duo Luoqi think that the pain was over? That was too naive. His body, which had been damaged by the baleful aura, had long lost the possibility of recovery. After his body was damaged by the baleful aura, his lifespan would definitely be greatly reduced. The most important thing was that he would never be able to recover in the future. In later life, he would probably have to spend most of his time lying in bed.
However, it was obvious that no one present was aware of that.
“Why did you come here today?” At this time, Duo Ji finally raised his head and looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an. “Do you want our lives?”
Now that things had come to this, he never thought that they would be let off. They no longer had any power to resist. Even their proudest Gu techniques seemed to be useless in front of these people.
After being imprisoned, he learned from the others in the family that these people were wearing something, and even the Gu worms did not dare to approach them. It was also because of this that they were captured so easily.
“Not your lives, but your life alone.” Ye Leng’an said indifferently, “However, it seems like you know your place. You know that you have to pay with your life for what you have done!”
“You can’t kill him.” Hali Maya stood up and protected Duo Ji behind her. “He didn’t do anything wrong. He was just being considerate toward his tribespeople. He did nothing wrong. Moreover, this is the business of our entire village. Why is he the only one to bear the responsibility?”
Looking at his wife who was standing in front of him, Duo Ji seemed to be moved.
“He must die.” Ye Leng’an remained impervious. “Not only him, but the other four elders must all die.”
In fact, most of the people in this village were murderers. However, she couldn’t kill everyone! Although she didn’t think she was a good person, she wasn’t a murderous person either. However, Duo Ji and the four elders were the culprits, so they had to pay for the innocent lives that had been lost.
The cycle of karma was like a cycle of retribution. When they killed those innocent people, they should have thought that one day, they would end up like them.
“No.” Hali Maya insisted on defending her husband. “He didn’t do it on purpose. He just wanted to break the curse and did not have any selfish motives. He just thought about the interest of others.”
“Then why didn’t you sacrifice your daughter’s life?” Ye Leng’an found it funny. “Don’t tell me that only your lives are important, but other people’s lives aren’t? If you’re so great, why don’t you sacrifice your own daughter?”
For a moment, Hali Maya could not say anything to refute.
Ye Leng’an looked at Duo Ji and said directly, “Your ending is already decided. It can’t be changed. However, if you are willing to tell me how you got the so-called method to break the curse, then I can let you die a little easier.”
Duo Ji didn’t answer her question immediately. Instead, he asked, “Why did you keep saying that the sacrifices we perform couldn’t break the curse at all? Why did you say so?”
Until now, he still couldn’t accept that all these years, he had been doing useless things. He had worked so hard for so many years to break the curse and killed so many people. But now, someone was telling him that everything he had done was in vain. How could he accept this?
Ye Leng’an didn’t think that there was anything to hide. She said slowly, “Su Yin is a member of the Sorcerer Tribe. They are the descendants of Pangu. Therefore, it is impossible for them to use such a cruel method to break the curse. Moreover, I met Su Yin in the underground tomb and learned the true method to remove the curse.”
“What?” After Duo Ji heard Ye Leng’an’s words, his originally dejected face suddenly lit up with hope. His tone also had a hint of urging. “Tell me, what is the solution?”
Even if he was about to die, if he could know the way to break the curse, then he would die without regrets. Because even if he died, his descendants would still have a chance to leave this place.
Not only Duo Ji, but everyone else also looked at Ye Leng’an, hoping to get an answer from her, an answer that would affect the future of the entire village.
Under the eager gaze of everyone, Ye Leng’an spoke again, “Su Yin said that as long as all of your tribespeople die, the curse will naturally be broken.”
To put it simply, there was no solution.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s eyes dimmed.
They had never expected such an answer, nor did they think that Ye Leng’an would lie to them. Right now, they were like fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by her. Therefore, she did not need to lie about such thin OR
“When Su Yin placed the curse, she never thought of breaking it for you.” Ye
Leng’an’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “As the only descendant of the Sorcerer Tribe, she was killed by your ancestor. How could she be willing to leave you a way out? Now, in order to break the curse, you’ve killed so many people. According to the cycle of karma, your descendants will suffer for what you have done..”
