Chapter 122 Blood Refining Hall
Fang Yuan turned around and looked at Su Li with a pale face. There was a bit of appreciation in his eyes. However, he saw Su Li with a kind of smile yet not a smile. Su Li slowly said, “The third-grade Poisonous Insect only absorbed more than quintuple essence and blood of your body. I thought it would be tenfold. After all, if there is no adjuvant medicine, only those in the inborn realm can refine and convert the third-grade poisonous insect directly. It seemed that your father had processed it before he took out it. The blood relationship between you and your father eased half of burden for you.”
Fang Yuan looked bleak and saw Su Li look at Fang Mu and say, “However, if the Poisonous Insect is not refined and converted by you, the ‘Poisonous Man Hunting Insect’ will burst with a sound of “boom”, like fireworks, in other’s body! That person will die with nothing left.”
Fang Mu watched Su Li doing the action of explosion, and his scalp tingled. Fortunately, he did not try to refine and convert the Poisonous Insect. Otherwise…
After hearing what Su Li said, a hint of tenderness flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes. At the same time, he felt guilty in heart. What he did to Fang Mu just now… was too bad.
Fang Mu scratched his head and revealed a giggle. Before he said something, Su Li said directly, “All right. Fang Yuan, I have helped you activate the Poisonous Man Hunting Insect. Now it’s time to search where Xiaowu and others are.”
“Uh.”
Fang Yuan’s expression became serious. He took out Xiaowu’s and Datian’s unwashed clothes from the room and put them in front of the butterfly. The butterfly lightly touched them and then ethereally flew away. Su Li and others immediately kept up with it.
Mammy Li stayed in the room and watched the scene. She could not help but sigh with emotion in heart. These people around the miss had means emerging endlessly. She had watched the miss grow up since the miss was young. She hadn’t understood the reason why the miss suddenly had so much fantastic abilities until now…
Su Li and others following the Poisonous Man Hunting Insect went all the way to the north. The more they walked, the more desolate places they saw. Finally, they stopped in front of a yard in a mountain. The yard was embosomed in hills. It only had one entrance and was heavily guarded. Its nearby mountain was rugged and impregnable.
“It seems that this is a secret base of a certain force.”
Fang Yuan took the Poisonous Insect back, and a butterfly-shaped imprint was formed on his chest. Seeing the scene, Qu Qingning couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Fang Yuan, your imprint is lovely but too effeminate. Look at mine!”
Qu Qingning said and revealed an imprint like a cobblestone on his chest. It was black, which created a sense of seriousness.
“Look at the time. You even have time to say it?!” Yin Xuetong pinched Qu Qingning’s belly with anger and abused him in a low voice. Qu Qingning instantly shrunk his neck and restored normal expression.
Fang Yuan didn’t have time to notice Qu Qingning. He went to Su Li’s side and sized up the entrance, which had men in the red robe patrolling constantly, together with her. He asked, “How to break it? Break into forcibly or sneak on?”
Su Li shook her head slightly and handed out a small white bottle to Yuan Fang. She said, “Pass one elixir on to everyone. There are many traps. It’s not easy for us to break into it forcibly. However, based on their walking posture and practice method, I realize which force it is.”
“Can you observe those?”
Qu Qingning couldn’t help but be amazed to say. She could observe the practice method from a group of guards. How profound knowledge about Xuangong did she have? It was quite difficult for him to see his family’s practice method.
Su Li glanced at Qu Qingning and continued to say, “It is the Blood Refining Hall.”
“The Blood Refining Hall?” Yin Xuetong slightly wrinkled her face and said, “It sounds familiar. It seems that I’ve heard it somewhere…”
“It turns out to be them!” Qu Qingning suddenly realized and said, “It is an organization of killers, who act frequently in the Dahan Country, Nanjiang Country and Zhushou Country. Besides, its reputation is not low and is next only to the mysterious Shalou Cult!”
Su Li heard the two words “Shalou Cult” and remembered “Ling Mo”. She did not hear about Yinmo Cult’s rumors recently. Presumably, they should live well in Yunjing.
Thinking of that night when she killed the two elders of the Blood Refining Hall, Su Li looked cold. The Blood Refining Hall was really haunting and opposed her repeatedly.
“Eat the elixirs in the bottle.”
After Su Li ordered, Fang Yuan and others ate them without saying anything. Then they saw Su Li holding black incense and ethereally climbing to the wind gap to ignite it. The colorless and odorless smoke following the wind was gently blown in the yard.
Fang Yuan and others saw it and were speechless. They thought they would have a hard battle. However, Su Li poisoned…
Su Li went down from the wind gap with empty hands. She squinted and said with a smile, “The Blood Refining Hall has countless yards to train killers. Each yard has at least three inborn elders to assume personal command. Even if I can beat them, it won’t be necessary to keep them. Therefore, it is easier to poison, isn’t it?”
Fang Yuan’s face trembled slightly. Qu Qingning and others felt more unbearable and felt cold in hearts. They used to be descendants of eminent and decent families. Therefore, they still needed time to get used to Su Li’s means.
“Flop, flop, flop…”
After ten minutes, Qu Qingning and others saw the guards at the entrance falling one by one. Su Li immediately ordered them to go in with masks. She put on a black cloak and went to dense buildings of the yard fleetingly.
In silence, Qu Qingning and others immediately split up to find the whereabouts of Xiaowu and other people. Su Li’s look under the veil was calm. She jumped to three innermost and luxury courtyards of the yard rather than searching Xiaowu. She dragged two males and one female out and put them on the ground. They were all dressed in red elders’ clothing of the Blood Refining Hall.
Then… she handed up the sword and killed them!
The three inborn seniors were beheaded during their sleep and died peacefully.
Su Li was expressionless and wiped blood on the sword. The Blood Refining Hall would become the Shalou Cult’s hindrance in the future. It also would become the LinLi Building’s hindrance. Since she met it now, she absolutely got rid of future trouble in advance.
The black incense that she took out was most poisonous, which could be produced now. If inborn seniors’ cultivation was less than the third hurdle, they would sleep for a quarter. If their cultivation was higher than the third hurdle, the smoke didn’t affect them.
“It seems that this yard is not an important place of the Blood Refining Hall. Otherwise, it will not send the three elders whose cultivation is less than the third hurdle.”
Su Li thought of it. After she destroyed corpses and obliterated all traces, she exited the courtyard and looked for Fang Yuan and others.
“Su Li, come on!”
After a while, Su Li heard Qu Qingning exclaiming from the west. When she rushed to a house with strong smell of blood, she immediately frowned.
At this time, Qu Qingning walked out from the inside. His face was pale. Yin Xuetong also came out from the inside with a pale face. After a few steps, she vomited badly on the side.
“They are here. Xiaowu and others are in the east yard. The children of the Dawang Village are also there and unconscious.”
Fang Yuan arrived from the east. When he saw Qu Qingning’s expression, he felt cold in heart. He immediately followed Su Li and went into the house in silence.
The light in the room was extremely dark. The pungent smell of blood surged to them. Fang Yuan was disturbed in heart. Suddenly, he felt that he kicked something soft. He looked down…
It was a bloody arm. Its fracture appearance was fresh and still bleeding.
Fang Yuan’s pupils contracted violently. He noticed that there was something sticky under feet. It was the damp-dry bloodstain with viscidity…
“Wheeze!”
Taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan clearly saw the scene in the room through concentration. Even if he had exercised his nerves from battlefields, he could not help but be shocked.
Here… it’s not exaggerated to call it hell!
He saw there were all kinds of instruments of torture in the spacious room. The instruments of torture were stained darkly by blood. Some of them were even covered flesh and blood.
A young man who seemed to have the same age with them was tied on the instrument of torture without any limb. His limbs were scattered on the ground. Fang Yuan looked back at the broken arm at the door. It was the young man’s arm.
“His limbs were chopped off. What on earth were his faults? He is a man without limbs!”
Fang Mu’s eyes were red. He gasped and looked around. He saw that a lot of barrels, which were about half the height of a man, were stacked sideways to four walls. Heads were exposed from the barrels, and they had faint breaths. Obviously, they were still alive.
“They are all men without limbs!”
Fang Mu was so scared that he stepped back ceaselessly. He accidentally stepped on something. There was a sound of “snap”. He looked back and saw that a pile of broken limbs was stacked at the corner and that some of them had become bones of the dead.
“The Blood Refining Hall… is frenzied!”
Qu Qingning severely hammered the wall. Then he grabbed a person of the Blood Refining Hall, who fainted on the ground and held the instrument of torture, and chopped his neck with a knife. The blood squirted on the ground.
Su Li just watched him with an indifferent expression. She even didn’t reveal any resentment.
“Ugh!!!”
Qu Qingning roared depressingly. Even if he killed the man, he did not feel delighted at all. Su Li once said that there were countless places like this in the Blood Refining Hall!
At this time, he heard Su Li saying with an indifferent voice, “Qu Qingning, kill all of them.”
Qu Qingning was stunned and looked up. He was surprised to see Su Li pointing at the young men without limbs. He was shocked in heart and revealed an unbelievable expression.
Su Li sneered and said, “Do you think they want to live with the kind of look? What you should do is to let them die insensibly.”
Qu Qingning’s palms instantly clenched and stung. He had a livid face. He looked at dozens of barrels sideways to walls and shed tears. Then he growled and picked up the long knife to chop them.
“Tch, tch, tch!”
“Tch, tch, tch!”
“…”
Heads were chopped off one after another. Fang Mu joined soon. The smell of blood in the room was stronger. Yin Xuetong held the door and choked with sobs.
Fang Yuan breathed a deep sigh and looked at Su Li who always had an expressionless face.
Was she… angry?
Or really calm?
“In fact, if I don’t give the antidotes… there will be no living persons in the yard after six hours.”
Su Li’s voice suddenly sounded, which made Fang Yuan be shocked in heart. He couldn’t believe it and turned his head to ask, “Why did you let them do?!”
“It can serve as a severe test for them.”
Su Li looked at Fang Yuan and said with a deep smile, “You’re much calmer than them. You should have seen the scene before… Is it in the Fang Family?”
“No!”
Fang Yuan was provoked instantly and said with anger, “The Fang Family has never made such extremely cruel things. It is in the military camp of the Nanjiang Country!”
“So it is.”
Su Li was suddenly enlightened but didn’t change her tone. She said, “In the military camp, men without limbs are used for venting anger and training courage. It seems that you have status in the military camp.”
“No…” Fang Yuan said with a deep tone. He pointed at the barrels and said, “I was almost among them, so I fled.”
Su Li was slightly stunned and then gently nodded. She watched Qu Qingning and Fang Mu who seemed to be crazy without any word.
After two hours, Qu Qingning and Fang Mu were pale and were covered with blood. When they went out of the house, they went limp and fell to the ground.
Su Li shook her head and turned back to go to the east yard. She fed Xiaowu and others antidotes. Then she moved them to drays of the Blood Refining Hall one by one and was going to send them to the nearest town.
After all the people were transferred, Fang Yuan skillfully poured black oil and threw a torch. The whole yard fell into a sea of fire soon.
A hidden base was destroyed, so the Blood Refining Hall would definitely send someone for an investigation. The fire still needed to be set.
On the dray, Qu Qingning was lying. He watched the fire in the mountain and black smoke floating to the sky. His eyes gradually had focal length.
A mountain breeze blew, as if God was sighing.
After a long time, he revealed a wry smile and muttered to himself, “Why didn’t the Blood Refining Hall make them as men without limbs rather than training them? Su Li…”
