A while later, everyone came to a decision and silently confirmed the vote in their mind.
Hongyue glanced at the crowd and clapped her hands. "I'll announce the result now."
Except for Yun Lintian and the werewolves, everyone looked at Hongyue while holding their breath.
"The result is…." Hongyue deliberately dragged his voice, making the crowd uneasy. "Guilty! The votes are so close, thirty-eight to thirty-six."
When the result came out, everyone glanced at each other, and some of them couldn't hide the sadness on their faces. They were clearly voting for Zhao Yebai to survive.
Yun Lintian opened his eyes and scanned the crowd briefly before turning to Zhao Yebai. He then saw the latter's expression was ugly beyond words. Seeing this, Yun Lintian curled his lips and said nothing.
Hongyue nodded her head in satisfaction. She wanted this kind of result and couldn't wait to see what would happen in the next round.
She stepped forward to stand beside Zhao Yebai and said to the crowd. "Now, let the show begin!"
When Hongyue snapped her fingers, a terrifying force instantly enveloped Zhao Yebai, bringing him to the air before the lynching pole. In the next moment, the rope magically tied around his neck.
Before Zhao Yebai could say anything, the surrounding force suddenly disappeared, making his body fall down. The rope around his neck immediately tightened up, strangling him fiercely.
Zhao Yebai struggled with every possible way he could think of, but he couldn't do anything. All of his profound energy was entirely sealed up. He was no different from a mortal now.
The crowd watched Zhao Yebai grunting miserably with pale faces. They felt chills running down their spines, imaging if it were them who replaced Zhao Yebai. Some turned their heads away, refusing to see the cruel scene, while some still looked at it with gusto.
Zhao Yebai grew weaker as time passed. From struggling fiercely to convulse a few times. A moment later, he took his last breath and completely stopped. His eyes were bulging, rolling upward while his tongue stuck out, looking so miserable.
Absolute silence descended. No one dared to utter a sound. Fear, grief, and joy. Each one of them had different moods.
"Hehe. Died well." Hongyue's giggle broke the silence, causing everyone to look at her fearfully.
They now remembered what Zhao Yebai said before. The true enemy was this young maiden in red in front of them… But what could they do? Everything seemed to be in her grasp. To live or die. Everything was in her hands.
Hongyue licked her lips playfully and said to the crowd. "That's it for today. I hope you all struggle more in the next round. Hehe. Now it's time for you to go back."
As she waved her hand, everyone was instantly shrouded with white light and disappeared from the place. Like the last time, Yun Lintian was the last one to be teleported away. This time he heard Hongyue say. "You're too boring. This time, I hope you won't disappoint me again."
Yun Lintian stared at Hongyue coldly while his vision gradually turned white. In the next breath, he found himself standing on the endless snowfield once again.
The first thing he did was scan the surroundings and find his current position. However, when his Spiritual Sense spread out, he immediately detected a few people circling around him.
Among them was a familiar face, Li Na. At this moment, she seemed to perceive someone watching her. She quickly spread her Spiritual Sense out and discovered Yun Lintian.
Her face immediately turned solemn. As much as she wanted to kill him, she was well aware she wasn't his opponent. The best decision she could make now was to stay away from him.
However, before Li Na could move, Yun Lintian's voice suddenly rang in her mind. "Where are you going, beauty? Why don't we reminiscence about the past together?"
Li Na was so furious, but she was helpless against him. Until now, she still couldn't figure out how her seductive art was ineffective on him. The only reason she could come up with was that Yun Lintian's mental power was far stronger than her, which she found ridiculous.
As one of the Red Lotus Dancing Hall Master's successor candidates, she spent her entire childhood training her soul. Her current mental power was equivalent to the peak of the Heaven Profound practitioner's. Apparently, it was still weaker than Yun Lintian's. How could he practice his soul?
While Li Na was sluggish, Yun Lintian constantly executed Shadow Step and arrived a few meters away. Even if Li Na wanted to escape, she couldn't do it now.
"What's wrong? Speechless by my handsomeness?" Yun Lintian teased.
Li Na turned around, gritting her teeth with hatred. "I didn't know before you were this narcissistic."
Yun Lintian glanced up and down at Li Na's good figure. He recalled the comfortable sensation he had when he molested her. For a while, he wanted to feel it again.
Noticing his rude gaze, Li Na's body trembled in anger. She suppressed her emotion and said. "Wait until nighttime. I will definitely make you pay!"
Yun Lintian curled his lips. "Don't pretend. I know you're not a werewolf. If I guess correctly, you should be a doctor."
Li Na's pupils shrank slightly. Her mind spun rapidly, trying to figure out how Yun Lintian knew about it.
"Want to know why I know it?" Yun Lintian pointed at his cheek and said. "Come on. Give brother a kiss here, and this brother will tell you."
"Dream on!" Li Na shouted angrily. At the same time, a powerful mental power was exuding from her, going straight at Yun Lintian's mind.
"When are you going to learn?" Yun Lintian chuckled and released his mental power.
Instantaneously, their power collided with each other fiercely, and it was Li Na who lost in the battle. Her body shook as she spat out a mouthful of blood before falling onto the ground.
Yun Lintian slowly walked toward her, step by step, with a playful smile on his face. "Can we have a good talk now?"
