Chapter 1785: The Secret of Liehun Hall
"Do you have clansmen in their hands?" Chen Yu paused and asked.
"Yes, many..." the Snow Woman nodded.
"So the reason you are like this now is all because you were forced by them?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes..." the Snow Woman raised her head, spat out the two words with difficulty, and she slowly took off her clothes.
On her exposed upper body were carved many, many strange symbols; these symbols were the Divine Patterns of Fusang, and these Divine Patterns were deeply carved into her body with the blood of ancient beasts.
Crimson liquid flowed slowly within the lines, and Chen Yu knew that the Divine Patterns carved on her had a strong suppressive effect on her.
Moreover, the beast blood used to draw these Divine Patterns corroded the flesh and eroded the will; she was almost constantly enduring the pain brought to her by the lines on her body.
"They... kill our clansmen, take their hearts, to practice..." a trace of pleading appeared on the Snow Woman's face: "I really have no other way, so I beg you..."
Chen Yu looked at the Snow Woman and sighed slightly; truthfully, his heart softened.
Before meeting the Snow Woman, he thought the Snow Woman was a monster without any emotions, and that she was entrenched here to eat people.
So at that time, Chen Yu did not have any compassion; his subconscious was that if he encountered a Snow Woman, he must kill her.
But after he understood the Snow Woman's true situation, his heart softened again; he never imagined that the real situation would be like this.
He pondered for a moment, then reached out his hand and wrapped the Snow Woman's clothes around her.
"Get up," Chen Yu said indifferently.
The Snow Woman raised her head in surprise and looked at Chen Yu; she had originally thought that she was doomed this time.
Yet this man before her had actually softened his heart at the final moment?
She nodded slowly, silently put on her clothes, and then stood up. She organized her words and spat out a sentence: "I have not harmed anyone... those people... were captured by Liehun Hall."
"What are they capturing people for?" Chen Yu asked: "Cultivation?"
"Sacrifice, cultivation, to offer to the Heavenly Dao Yin Yang, taking the hot blood from the heart to drink; it helps increase their Cultivation," the Snow Woman's speech gradually became fluent.
"People from Liehun Hall?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, they... are very cruel," a trace of terror appeared on the Snow Woman's face.
She stared at the man before her, then knelt down again.
"Why are you kneeling down again?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned, looking at her in bewilderment.
"I beg you... help me, save my clansmen," the Snow Woman looked at Chen Yu with pleading eyes; her expression was very sorrowful.
"My clansmen have never done anything bad; they just lived in the depths of the Snow Mountain and have always been reclusive."
"But in the last hundred years, our existence was discovered by Liehun Hall, so they captured our clansmen and imprisoned them."
"I am their leader, so I was locked by them using Divine Script to help them do things, but these things are truly not what I want to do."
"Get up," looking at the Snow Woman kneeling on the ground, Chen Yu said slowly.
The Snow Woman shook her head; she knelt on the ground and cried even harder.
As her tears fell, large swaths of snowflakes drifted down from the surroundings, and then these snowflakes quickly transformed into a storm.
The Snow Woman possessed a special ability; her tears could summon snow. The harder she cried, the heavier the snow fell, and the snowfall was her true emotions.
She was not pretending, but truly crying; if she were left to cry, this small town would likely be covered by heavy snow and cease to exist.
"Stop crying first, get up and talk," Chen Yu was between laughter and tears; what was this? He shouldn't have softened his heart.
"I beg you..." the Snow Woman raised her head, her eyes pitiful.
"Fine, get up, I will help with this favor," Chen Yu said slowly.
Anyway, he was going to Liehun Hall, so helping her save her family was not a difficult task; besides, he didn't know the way anyway, so having her lead the way wouldn't be bad.
A trace of joy appeared on the Snow Woman's face; she bowed deeply to Chen Yu, and only then did she slowly stand up.
"You don't like to talk?" Chen Yu looked at the Snow Woman; he felt that the Snow Woman should not be unable to speak, but rather not very familiar with human language.
The Snow Woman shook her head: "I... have not communicated with people for over a hundred years, and the communication with our clansmen has a unique method; I am not too familiar with human language."
"Stretch out your hand," Chen Yu looked at the Control Divine Ring locked on her hand; he joined his hands together, Sword Qi condensed, and he was about to sever it.
"No, don't..." a trace of terror appeared on the Snow Woman's face.
"Why?" Chen Yu saw her resistant appearance and couldn't help but feel some doubt; this thing was what controlled her freedom, why would she refuse?
"Inside this, there is their Soul Consciousness; as soon as I get rid of these things, they will know immediately, and our clansmen will be in danger," the Snow Woman shook her head desperately.
"I see," Chen Yu suddenly realized, looking at the Divine Patterns on her body: "These are very painful, right?"
The Snow Woman nodded; these Divine Patterns corroded her body like a poison, and although she possessed the ability of Regeneration, this kind of Divine Pattern seemed born to restrain her, making her suffer incessantly.
"Come here," Chen Yu beckoned to her.
The Snow Woman walked to Chen Yu's side without hesitation, looking at him obediently.
Chen Yu's hand touched a Divine Pattern on her body; as Chen Yu's Mind Power surged, wherever his hand touched, the Divine Patterns on the Snow Woman's body slowly disappeared.
Chen Yu wiped away the Divine Patterns on her body with Mind Power, then used Primordial Qi to repair her body; after a moment, large swaths of Divine Patterns on her body disappeared.
Although the Divine Patterns were wiped away, the Snow Woman also endured great pain during this process.
Her face was deathly pale, she gasped for breath, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Rest for a while before continuing," Chen Yu saw that she seemed unable to bear it, so he stopped.
The Snow Woman shook her head and spat out a sentence: "I beg you... continue, I want to... get rid of these quickly."
Chen Yu sighed to himself; for so many years, she had endured this pain every moment; her endurance had likely reached its limit.
So he nodded, reached out his hand, and continued to wipe away the Divine Patterns on her body.
After a full half hour, the Divine Patterns on her body were finally all wiped away.
The Snow Woman fell to her knees with a thud; her body trembled uncontrollably; it was clear that she had endured great pain during the process just now.
After trembling for a full ten minutes, her condition finally eased; she took a deep breath and looked at her own body.
