Chapter 1536 - 1534: Blood Demon Wolf?! How Could It… Appear Here?!
Chapter 1536 - 1534: Blood Demon Wolf?! How Could It… Appear Here?!
Cold sweat continuously streamed down Lan Yunwei’s forehead!
It was like a gushing spring that couldn’t be stopped!
Her eyes were hollow, vacant, stunned, and bewildered, as she stared ahead without blinking, her pupils occasionally dilating, sometimes shrinking, sometimes confused, and sometimes sharp.
Her heart was in extreme conflict and struggle.
Is it wrong to want to save my younger brother? Does hiding a seemingly false truth make me an accomplice? Am I killing Lin Fan by doing so?
In a certain sense, she and Lin Fan were merely strangers.
Strangers with a certain fondness.
If she absolutely had to choose between Lin Fan and Lan Zhengqing, she would certainly choose Lan Zhengqing without hesitation.
Without a doubt.
After all.
Lan Zhengqing is her biological brother, while Lin Fan is just a fleeting passer-by who stirred her heart.
But.
She didn’t want to kill Lin Fan. She really didn’t have that thought!
Wasn’t she also trying hard to find Lin Fan’s whereabouts?!
Why was she being accused of being an accomplice?!
Was this fair to her?!
Numerous questions emerged in Lan Yunwei’s mind, her emotions suddenly reaching a peak, with a sudden cold and sharp gleam in her eyes.
Suddenly.
Lan Yunwei snapped back to reality, preparing to refute Zhu Qilue.
However.
Zhu Qilue spoke before she could.
This guy was truly terrifying, seeming to know what she wanted to say, blocking her words before she could utter them.
"Do you think that by hiding the truth for Lan Zhengqing, you are really saving him?"
"Ah?"
"No, on the contrary, you are harming Lan Zhengqing, leading him down a dead-end road, pushing him into the fire pit. If you know that what he is doing is wrong, or if you have a sense that it’s wrong and yet you didn’t stop him, not even utter a word to him, you are indeed killing your own brother. True, Lin Fan is unrelated to you, you don’t have to care about his life or death. But Lan Zhengqing is your brother, do you really want to see him go further down that no return path?!"
Zhu Qilue’s words were deafening.
Transforming into a thunderous clap ringing in Lan Yunwei’s heart.
The arguments she had just prepared, the thoughts she had sorted out, were once again shattered by Zhu Qilue, completely defeated.
Hoo—
Hoo—
Hoo—
Lan Yunwei panted heavily, her face flushed.
"I... I..."
"Am I really harming Zhengqing?"
She suddenly stopped breathing, her eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, looking at Zhu Ruoling and then Zhu Qilue.
"Yes." Zhu Qilue nodded affirmatively, saying, "You think your way is to protect him, but it only misleads him. The best way is to prevent him from further downfall, not standby with some self-assumed protective approach as he sinks."
After Zhu Qilue finished, seeing Lan Yunwei still seemed hesitant, he added.
"Do you really want to see a terrifying, evil version of Lan Zhengqing in the future, someone you’ve never known?"
Lan Yunwei gasped, shaking her head.
"Then quickly tell us the secret Blizzard Village holds, maybe we can still make Lan Zhengqing turn back."
"..."
Silence.
A deathly silence!
Lan Yunwei pressed her lips tight, her eyelids dropped, fingers fidgeting, still indecisive.
Zhu Ruoling urged anxiously, "Yunwei sister! If something is really wrong with Zhengqing brother, we will definitely help him out of trouble. But wasting time like this doesn’t benefit Lin Fan, nor Zhengqing brother, just hurry and speak up."
Listening to Zhu Ruoling’s persuasion, Lan Yunwei slowly raised her head and sighed deeply.
"Alright, I will tell you what I know. But you must promise me not to tell anyone else, keep this secret."
"As long as Lan Zhengqing can be saved, and hasn’t done any heinous things. I promise to help you." Zhu Qilue said sincerely.
Lan Yunwei nodded and paused. After all, revealing a secret buried for years, to outsiders, felt somewhat awkward, but the current situation no longer allowed her much hesitation.
After a moment of silence, she spoke.
"Blizzard Village is..."
However.
Before she could finish!
The three suddenly felt a violent, savage aura pressing down on them!
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Strange cries echoed from above, carrying a faint scent of blood!
The Void quaked instantly!
The three were shocked and hurriedly looked up, only to see five blood-red figures descending from the sky, charging directly at them!
"Watch out!"
Zhu Qilue shouted, his palm igniting in blazing flames, swinging out with a fiery snake, repelling the five blood-red figures barreling towards them.
He hurriedly dashed forward, shielding Lan Yunwei.
This moment, Zhu Ruoling also reacted, quickly drawing out the Fire Gun, holding it across in front.
The three looked closely, greatly startled.
Those five blood-red figures were Blood Demon Wolves!
Their brows furrowed tightly, their expressions changed dramatically!
"What’s happening, how... could Blood Demon Wolves appear here?" Zhu Qilue’s voice trembled slightly.
Blood Demon Wolves, as one of the most ferocious and common animals on the wastelands, have hunted countless people in the Five Elements Realm.
No one knows where they come from, or who they work for.
All that’s known is they appear and vanish like shadows, ghostly in speed, each time precisely hunting, leaving no trace!
Moreover.
Their speed is extremely fast, previously suffering losses on the wasteland, were it not for Lin Fan’s timely arrival, they would have fallen prey to the Blood Demon Wolves.
Nonetheless, fortunately, there are only five Blood Demon Wolves, with Zhu Ruoling’s help, they can still handle them.
Yet he hadn’t anticipated the appearance of Blood Demon Wolves here.
It’s indeed quite odd.
Moreover, to appear at such a crucial moment, interrupting Lan Yunwei’s critical information.
If saying it’s all coincidental, that would be too much coincidence indeed.
Appear where they never have, interrupting at the exact moment of Lan Yunwei’s revelation, all these cast suspicion.
However.
Now isn’t the time to question such matters; eliminating the Blood Demon Wolves is the priority.
"Blood...Blood Demon Wolves?!" Lan Yunwei was terrified, her face pale, utterly horrified. She had never seen Blood Demon Wolves, only heard of them, and now seeing them in person was even more terrifying than rumors. "How... how did they appear here?!"
"I don’t know, I find it strange too."
"This is Wenyu City’s territory, Blood Demon Wolves shouldn’t approach crowded places! How...how are they here?!"
"Afraid, they are under someone’s command," Zhu Qilue said lightly, clenching his fist, as he saw the five Blood Demon Wolves opening their bloody mouths towards him, showing sharp fangs!
