Chapter 730: Torture (1)
Shen Yijia stayed until noon before leaving. It was only then that she found out that Ji Luo was the previous Valley Master of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.
No one knew when the Valley Master’s inheritance began to exist, and there were no detailed records in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. It was only vaguely written that the ancestor of the Ji family, who was a warlock, had once lost his life to save an expert, leaving only an orphan girl alive.
When the orphan girl woke up overnight, she had the spiritual liquid.
The magical aspects of the spiritual liquid could not be told to outsiders. They were afraid of attracting trouble. The orphan girl chose to live in seclusion. Later on, the Valley of Heavenly Secrets came into existence.
They felt that it did not matter if they had feelings or not since they were responsible for saving the world.
Marrying the high priest was only to prevent the inheritance from being severed. In the mortal world, it was equivalent to continuing the incense offerings.
As for the spiritual spring that the clansmen of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had guarded for generations, it was located in front of the observatory where the Valley Master lived.
The surroundings of the spring were filled with spider lilies. Everyone thought that the water in the spiritual spring could cure all illnesses and extend one’s lifespan by taking it all year round, but they did not know that it was only because the previous Valley Masters had added spiritual liquid to the spring.
Without Ji Luo around, the spring water naturally lost its effect. Things happened one after another, from the collapse of the spider lily to the depletion of the spring.
Normally speaking, even the high priest would only learn about this on the day of his marriage to the Valley Master.
However, Si Yun was ambitious and Ji Luo had a restless person by her side. Therefore, they had long found out about the secret of the spiritual spring.
Later on, on the way to look for the descendants of the Lin family, Ji Luo encountered the handsome Xuanyuan Ce by a freak combination of factors. She felt love for the first time and became a traitor.
Hence, there was the pursuit and imprisonment.
If Shen Yijia had not been sent away, the mother and daughter would have long been turned into two dried corpses by Si Yun’s spiritual exchange technique.
One would be passed to her, while the other would be given to Ji Yunxi.
Shen Yijia sighed. Was this the life-and-death calamity that Ji Luo had predicted?
Later on, she even talked a lot about how difficult it had been for her and how she regretted it. Shen Yijia did not listen to a word she said. “I’ve told you everything I know. Please save me.”
She pleaded in pain from the tent.
“Miss, how are you going to deal with her?” Standing outside the tent, MO Yuan suddenly asked.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth and deliberately raised her voice. “Didn’t I promise her just now that I would save her? Of course I have to.”
MO Yuan frowned. “But she’s the one who caused Master’s injuries.”
“Don’t be anxious. I’m not done yet.” Shen Yijia patted MO Yuan’s shoulder, indicating for her to calm down. She lowered her voice and said, “I meant to save her, but I’ve already used up all my spiritual liquid. From the looks of it, she won’t be able to last for more than 15 days. I can’t go back on my word, right?”
MO Yuan was speechless. Didn’t this mean that he wanted to save her?
“She’s poisoned. I don’t know what kind of poison she was poisoned with. How can I save her?” Shen Yijia shrugged.
Seeing that MO Yuan still didn’t understand, she stopped trying to leave someone hanging and smiled sinisterly. “I think the method you once mentioned is not bad. We can give it a try.”
MO Yuan understood. “I’ll prepare it now.”
“Hey, wait.” Shen Yijia stopped her. “I think it’s a waste to feed her poison. I remember that there are quite a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this season, right?”
MO Yuan thought to herself, “You’re the one who’s poisonous.”
“I’ll go catch a snake now.”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “How many can you catch alone? Let’s go look for Lin Shao.”
After begging for a long time, no one paid attention to her. She started cursing Shen Yijia and Ji Luo again, not even letting Si Yun off.
However, no matter how fiercely she cursed, the pain in her body did not decrease at all.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Yijia’s voice came from outside.
“The few of you, put away the tents around this tent.”
‘Yes.”
“And these things, move them all away.”
At the thought of Shen Yijia’s words, hope rose in her heart. She did not dare to curse anymore. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she listened to the commotion outside.
Someone was moving around. They were probably dismantling tents and moving things.
Did she need to do this to detoxify her?
Suddenly, she was a little uncertain. However, she was afraid of death and did not want to give up even if there was a trace of hope.
Ji Luo had always been a stubborn but soft-hearted person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought her along just because she complained a few times, and given her the surname Ji. Shen Yijia was her daughter, so it would definitely be the same.
With beautiful fantasies about Shen Yijia, she waited.
She waited until she smelled a faint fragrance, and kept waiting until there was a rustling sound around the tent..
