The next morning, Tang Li and Qi Yihan went to the prison to bring Qi Lingxuan out.
Qi Lingxuan didn’t look good at the moment. His clothes were wrinkled, his beard was unshaven, and his face was haggard. He looked like he had been seriously ill.
The moment he saw Tang Li, he quickly asked anxiously, “Fourth Aunt, didn’t you say that as long as I get the Azure Dragon celestial master to repair that barrier with you, you can get rid of the black smoke in my body? When are you going to help me get rid of it?”
Over the past few days, he had been fighting against the black smoke from time to time. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be swallowed by the black smoke and become a soulless zombie.
Tang Li looked at him coldly. After a while, she opened her palm, and a golden light appeared.
Then, the golden light quickly flew into Qi Lingxuan’s body.
Qi Lingxuan instantly felt his entire body relax.
At that moment, Tang Li said, “In the future, come to me every three months. I’ll help you suppress the black smoke in your body. If you don’t come to me after three months, the black smoke will devour your consciousness.”
The joy and ease were instantly gone when Qi Lingxuan heard that. His expression instantly changed and he roared at her, “You went back on your word. Do you believe I’ll…”
Bang!
“Ummm…”
The sudden punch made Qi Lingxuan stagger backward. He only stopped when he hit the wall. The intense pain from his stomach made him feel like his internal organs were in the wrong place. Even breathing was painful.
Qi Yihan’s cold and murderous voice sounded. “Be polite to your Fourth Aunt in the future. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up everytime I see you.”
Qi Lingxuan was in so much pain that his body was spasming. He never knew that Qi Yihan’s punches could cause so much pain.
Tang Li and Qi Lingxuan were in the opposite mood. She smiled at Qi Yihan happily.
Qi Yihan held her hand and said, “If he pisses you off in the future, tell me and I’ll help you beat him up.”
Tang Li quickly nodded. “Alright.”
After saying that, a talisman quickly appeared in her hand. The talisman floated to Qi Lingxuan and stuck to his forehead. Then Qi Lingxuan uncontrollably followed the two of them out.
The two of them brought Qi Lingxuan to Tang Li’s palace.
At this moment, Situ Jin and Qin Mingyue were already waiting there.
When the two of them saw the three of them enter, they quickly went up to them.
Situ Jin glanced at Qi Lingxuan and a cold smile appeared on his face. He then asked Tang Li, “Tang Li, are we leaving this place now?”
“Wait a minute. I have to delete our traces.”
With that, she quickly drew a talisman in the air with his finger. After the talisman was formed, a burst of light flashed and instantly flew in all directions.
After a while, Tang Li stopped and looked at the four of them. “Let’s go.”
Then, she continued to draw the talisman. Soon, a ball of light appeared where they were standing. In the light, Situ Jin suddenly said anxiously, “Mingyue, what are you doing?”
“Tang Li! Stop! Mingyue isn’t with us!”
“Mingyue!”
With a flash of light, Situ Jin’s roar disappeared. The few of them felt their minds go blank.
When they came back to their senses, they were already standing in the passageway of the ancient tomb.
When Situ Jin came back to his senses, he patted his head and said with confusion, “Why do I feel like I’ve forgotten something?”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other. Qi Yihan walked up to him and patted his shoulder. “Let’s go. It’s time for us to leave this tomb.”
Situ Jin looked around and frowned. “I knew that I wouldn’t find those legendary things in the tomb. I must be out of my mind to follow these people down here.”
After saying that, he looked at the mural on the stone wall and exclaimed. Then, he walked closer to the unfinished mural and pointed at the war on it. “Look, why is this mural only half-drawn? Where’s the other half?”
After saying that, he suddenly covered his chest, broke out in cold sweat, and started panting.
He quickly held onto the stone wall and said, “Why does my heart hurt so much?”
Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li said, “Let’s go. You haven’t yet recovered from your old illness. Coming to the tomb has affected your health again.”
Situ Jin believed her and prepared to walk out with them.
However, as soon as he left, he suddenly touched something. He looked up and exclaimed, “Tang Li, Yihan, look.”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan stopped and walked to his side.
Situ Jin pressed his hand and the stone started to move.
Qi Yihan tugged at him, and Situ Jin took two steps forward. Just as he stood still, the stone behind him opened.
He quickly turned around and saw that the rock had actually moved to the side, revealing a hole the size of a bowl. Inside the hole was a box with golden edges. Situ Jin subconsciously took the box out.
Qi Lingxuan, who was standing a distance away, looked at the box and suddenly said, “Is there an Elixir of Immortality in the box?”
The three of them glanced at him at the same time and looked away, ignoring him.
Qi Lingxuan wanted to come over and take a look, but he was afraid of being beaten up. He could only stand two meters away from them and crane his neck to look.
Situ Jin checked the box and handed it to Qi Yihan. “See if you can open this box.”
Qi Yihan took the box and got Tang Li to take out some tools. He took some time to open the box and saw a pill inside.
At the same time, there was a piece of paper with something written on it.
Situ Jin took out the paper and handed it to Qi Yihan and Tang Li.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at it at the same time. The words on it were specially written by the Vermilion Bird tribe. After reading it, the two of them fell silent.
After a long while, Tang Li said, “You found this pill. Take it.”
“Is it really the Elixir of Immortality?”
“No, but this medicine is very good for your health.”
Situ Jin took out the pill, but he did not want to eat it at all. He put the pill in and took the wooden box. He subconsciously said, “Since it’s mine, I’ll keep it for now.”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan had no objections.
Qi Lingxuan, on the other hand, was staring at the box.
At that moment, Tang Li said coldly, “You’d better not have any ideas about this pill. The black smoke in your body is in conflict with this pill. Believe it or not, after you eat it, you’ll immediately become a zombie.”
When Qi Lingxuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He would definitely not let himself become a walking corpse for a pill.
Then, they walked out of the tomb.
When the three of them walked out of the tomb, Situ Jin turned around, and his pupils instantly constricted. He said anxiously, “The tomb has disappeared.”
Tang Li and the others turned around at the same time. As expected, the tomb suddenly disappeared. Behind them, there was no longer an aisle, only a stone wall.
Then, they looked at Tang Li, wanting her to explain what was going on.
Tang Li lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “This tomb doesn’t belong to this world to begin with. It’s just that for some special reason, it ended up here. Let’s forget about this place after we leave. Anyway, we won’t be able to find it in the future.”
Qi Yihan agreed. “Li is right.”
The moment the four of them walked out of the tomb, Xuanyuan Qing, Butler Yang, and the masters, who had been waiting there, heaved a sigh of relief.
“Master Tang, you’re finally out.”
Tang Li asked, “Where are the townspeople?”
“We contacted the higher-ups. They sent people to pick up the townspeople.”
Xu Guanhai said, “It’s actually good that that town has disappeared. They don’t have to worry about being cursed anymore.”
Tang Li nodded. Everyone talked about what happened in the tomb and followed Xuanyuan Qing to the Xuanyuan family.
The Xuanyuan manor was enormous. After Xuanyuan Qing settled everyone in, Tang Li sat with the masters and talked about that town and the Xuanyuan Tomb.
Xuan Yi said, “The higher-ups want everyone to keep what happened to the town secret. They want everyone to say that someone poisoned the town.”
Tang Li did not mind. “Whatever.”
Anyway, she was not in the habit of spreading rumors.
Then, they talked about how that town ended up in the tomb.
Xu Guanhai said, “I’ve always wondered why we ended up in that tomb after the witch made the village disappear.”
Tang Li did not say anything. After they finished chatting, they started talking about the middle of July.
“This year is a once-in-a-century year. When the time comes, all the people from the Mystic Society in our country will come out to protect the human world. Master Tang, I hope you can help.”
Tang Li nodded. “Sure.”
After chatting for a while, Tang Li went to the suite where Butler Yang and his sister were staying.
Yang Yingying was still unconscious. The two of them walked to the bed. Butler Yang asked expectantly, “Madam, are you treating my sister now?”
Tang Li nodded and walked to the edge of the bed. She sat down and reached out to touch Yang Yingying’s forehead. She asked Butler Yang, “Have you talked to your relatives?”
“I’ve already told them. Everyone is very happy that Yingying is found. They definitely hope that she can forget that dark memory.”
Tang Li nodded and took out the bell and talisman. As she rang the bell, she stuck the talisman on Yingying’s forehead.
At the same time, Tang Li quickly chanted an incantation.
After a long while, Yang Yingying started to struggle. Butler Yang held his breath and looked at her with anticipation, excitement, and anxiety.
After nearly half an hour, Yang Yingying finally opened her eyes. She looked very confused. She asked timidly, “Who are you?”
Butler Yang’s lips trembled. Then, when Tang Li moved aside, he sat beside her and held her hand. With a trembling voice, he said, “Sister, I’m your brother.”
Yang Yingying looked at him in a daze for a while before saying, “You’re not my brother. You’re my father.”
“I’m not your father. Your father and mother went out because of something. From now on, you’ll be with Brother.”
“Where did they go?”
“To earn money to buy you delicious food and new clothes.”
“Hehe ~”
“So you must be with me in the future.”
After all, they were siblings. Wei Yingying immediately believed him. She smiled sweetly and nodded. “Alright, I’ll be with you. This way, no one will dare to snatch the toy you made for me.”
“Right.”
Tang Li looked at the two of them for a while before turning to leave.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Qi Yihan waiting for her not far away.
She quickened her pace and walked up to him.
Qi Yihan glanced at the door and asked, “Is she recovered?”
“Yeah.”
Tang Li grabbed his finger. After he held her hand, the two of them walked to the side.
As Tang Li walked, she asked, “Are we returning to the Imperial Capital?”
“Let’s go to your island and take a look first. The infrastructure there has been built.”
Tang Li nodded happily.
At this moment, Qiqi and Linlin said excitedly, “Godmother.”
Then, the two of them ran over.
Linlin ran over and hugged Tang Li’s leg. She said happily, “Godmother, I missed you so much.”
Tang Li touched her head and asked, “Where did you go? Why didn’t I see you when we came out?”
“There’s something good near the Xuanyuan family. Qiqi and I were trapped for a while and only came out now.”
“What can trap you?”
Tang Li did not believe it.
Linlin giggled non-stop.
Qiqi told her, “That thing was too big. We were afraid that it would come out and harm people, so we ate it in one go. It took some time to digest.”
Tang Li nodded and did not blame them.
Then, she held each of their hands and walked towards their room with Qi Yihan.
As Tang Li walked, she said, “You guys have been eating all kinds of things. Let’s go to my island. I’ll purify your bodies.”
“Alright.”
