The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing
Chapter 67: Rescue Operation Successfully Concluded
Inside the dimly lit cave, a red-haired woman with a black wing on her back stood in the center, surrounded by five or six unconscious disciples of the immortal sect.
Black demonic energy emanated from their bodies and was slowly absorbed into Ling Yao's body.
That's right, you read that correctly. Not only did Ling Yao extract the demonic energy, she also absorbed it.
Demonic energy is essentially similar to spiritual energy; it's just a type of energy. However, the two are different—one is black and the other white, one is pure and the other turbid—and they are incompatible. Once a cultivator becomes tainted by demonic energy, their spiritual energy will fight against it.
According to Yu Xianxian's understanding, this demonic energy is similar to a virus. Once it enters the body, it will attract the attention of the immune mechanism, and then the two sides will start to fight fiercely.
Moreover, this is a rather potent virus; most people's immune systems can't kill it. They can only rely on miraculous elixirs or use simpler, more brutal methods to extract this demonic energy.
What's most shameless is that this demonic energy not only has its own navigation function but is also a bully who preys on the weak. If it's not put into a container after being extracted, it can return to Lin Xiao and the others' bodies along the same path. And now, it's clear that Ling Yao has chosen herself as the perfect container.
However, don't misunderstand, the black wings behind Ling Yao didn't grow because she absorbed demonic energy, but were natural, because Ling Yao is a half-demon.
With bloodlines that are half human and half demon, that's why she chose herself as the best vessel to absorb demonic energy.
What is deadly poison to ordinary cultivators is like a dessert to her, posing no threat whatsoever. The only downside is that if she inhales demonic energy, her normally hidden wings will uncontrollably reappear.
The fact that the dignified peak master of the Immortal Sect's Spirit Medicine Peak is a half-demon is bound to cause a lot of controversy if this were to be said out loud. Therefore, the number of people who know about this can be counted on one hand, and the fewer people who know, the better.
Despite noticing someone behind her, Ling Yao had no time to care.
The condition of these people on the ground is too bad. If the demonic energy is not absorbed quickly, then it may be too late to save them.
Yu Xianxian didn't intend to disturb her. She had no medical skills and couldn't help Ling Yao absorb the demonic energy; all she could do was...
After an unknown amount of time in this suffocating place, finally, the last trace of demonic energy was absorbed into Ling Yao's body, and the black wings behind her fully unfurled, as if she had broken free of her shackles.
Ling Yao turned around and saw Yu Xianxian without any surprise. She just spoke in a dry voice, "Xian... cough cough."
Strange, although she had inhaled a lot of demonic energy this time, why did she feel so irritable? She had an urge to vent all her negative emotions.
Ling Yao covered her forehead, the throbbing pain in her head making her unconsciously want to pull away the person in front of her...
Before the thought could take shape in her mind, she saw the person in front of her calmly put on a golden mask, and then pounce on her, knocking her to the ground.
"You...cough cough."
The next second, before Ling Yao could even be confused, the filthy demonic energy burst out from her seven orifices. She felt a burning sensation, and then her body returned to normal. Even the black wing had disappeared without her noticing.
"Tsk, that's filthy. Remember, you've already had one chance. You have two more chances."
"Alright, alright, sir, you should go and rest now."
After perfunctorily dealing with Si Tu, Yu Xianxian took off her mask, then quickly got up and helped Ling Yao up from the ground.
Normally, Ling Yao wouldn't have any problems absorbing this amount of demonic energy. However, the existence of a certain "Sixth Brother" turned this normal situation into an exception. Yes, it's the Sixth Brother Luo that everyone's thinking of.
No matter what, he was in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Even if he wasn't there at the time, how could Luo Jia not know that Lin Xiao and the others were hiding there when he returned?
He not only knew about it, but he also allowed them to stay there. However, his territory wasn't free; there was a price to pay for it.
While Ke Bai was taking a break due to exhaustion, Luo Jia came to the cave and added a little exorcism powder to the demonic energy on Lin Xiao and the others.
This is a drug that can cause demons to reveal their true forms and also make them emotionally violent. Luo Jia's original plan was to wait until Ling Yao and the others were about to take him into the immortal sect, and then pretend to lead them here to rescue people.
Luo Jia knew that Ling Yao would absorb demonic energy into her body to save people, and he had even specially adjusted the dosage based on Ling Yao's strength to ensure that it would only take effect after she arrived at the Immortal Sect. At that time, everyone in the Immortal Sect would know that their Spirit Medicine Peak Master was a half-demon. Even if the other four wanted to protect her, and even if Ling Yao didn't leave the Immortal Sect because of it, the disciples' opinions of her would change somewhat. More importantly, how much damage would this do to the Immortal Sect's reputation? Just thinking about it made him happy.
Ha, I didn't know she was that half-demon girl from back then. Now that I do, I'll have to make good use of her.
But Luo Jia never imagined that the biggest variable (bug) in this whole affair was that Yu Xianxian not only knew his identity immediately, but also knew about his plan to use the exorcism powder through the script. He also never expected that his good boss, the Demon Lord Si Tu, would help Yu Xianxian deal with him.
A certain demon lord: ...Do you think I want to help? If this woman hadn't made a deal with him, he wouldn't want to touch such filthy demonic energy.
But he could only say these complaints to himself, because his only listener—Yu Xianxian—had already gone to care about Ling Yao.
Ling Meiren looks so weak, oh my god, my heart aches for her. It's all that damned Luo Laoliu's fault, next time I see him…
The next time I see him, I'll have the Dog Demon Lord drain all the demonic energy from his body.
Luo Laoliu, who is thousands of miles away: ...Do you want to hear what kind of wild and insolent words you are saying?
Although she felt much better, Ling Yao hadn't forgotten how the demonic energy had surged out of her body all at once.
Looking at Yu Xianxian, who was cupping her face and examining it closely, Ling Yao's lips twitched slightly. She figured asking wouldn't yield a serious answer. This girl had many secrets.
"I am unharmed."
Ling Yao took a half-step back, escaping Yu Xianxian's clutches. Ignoring the other's caring (infatuated) gaze, she turned to face the people lying on the ground.
The porcelain-white medicine bottle reappeared in her hand, and pills floated out, automatically guiding themselves to the mouths of the group. Seeing that their previously pained expressions had eased, Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she hadn't arrived too late.
"Okay, let's go back."
