Chapter 153 A Breed Of Their Own
WITH HIS MIND filled with questions, he tried to ponder the matter of the Dark Executive and later asked Fortuniel, “Fortuniel, can’t I just remove those black wisps from their bodies? Wouldn’t it be better that way?”
“No,” Fortuniel directly replied. “If you remove it, the person you are removing it from would be killed. Only the Dark Executive himself can remove those black wisps. This is something unique to them. Even if you control the dark rules, you do not necessarily have the power to control others with these rules. In other words, a Dark Executive is like a breed of his own.”
“How come it’s like that?”
“It involves their common bloodline. Moreover, as far as I know, there are several executives in this realm.”
“By several executives, you mean…” Yang Lujia trailed off, waiting for Fortuniel to answer. He was thinking if his thoughts were correct about these executives.
“Yes, you are correct, host. Not only is there a Dark Executive, but there are also other kinds of executives who control other types of rules. They also have a common bloodline with a certain unique ability that they can only use, like the manipulation ability of a Dark Executive through using dark rules in creating black wisps. Moreover, most of them aren’t pure-blooded executives.”
“Pure-blooded?” Yang Lujia questioned, baffled by the new information he received from Fortuniel. “Don’t tell me they use the blood of a pure-blooded executive to make themselves official executives?”
“That is correct, host.”
“What a strange way of doing it,” Yang Lujia commented. “Anyway, let’s get ‘her’ out of this underground prison first. I am not exactly sure if she’s still here, but because of the lingering aura she had in the Saber Path Sect’s underground prison, I am able to tell that she had at least been here.”
Yang Lujia left the woman he saved from Core Disciple Liao. She insisted on staying because she had already submitted to her fate. He also didn’t want to let her get killed because of his selfishness. After all, although he was powerful, he could not do anything with the black wisps. He would just wait for the best time to save them by killing the Dark Executive who was in control of their lives.
When he finally arrived at the huge cell where a woman was tied to a wall, with her legs and arms open wide, his pupils contracted after seeing her.
She barely had any clothes on her. Moreover, her body was riddled with bruises just like the other women in the underground prison. However, that wasn’t what pinned Yang Lujia to the ground.
It was her face. Such a face shouldn’t be possible unless the other was using hers for a purpose.
‘Elder Sun Ling?’
Slowly walking toward her, he inspected her face from left to right and the size of her body. The Elder Sun Ling he knew of had exactly the same features. Just like her, her beauty could wage war between countries. Only their cultivation level differed. The woman in front of him had already reached almost the peak of the Saint Realm.
“Why is she tied here? Why are they specifically trying to separate her from the other women? Moreover…” Yang Lujia tried to probe into her dantian. “She did not have those black wisps. Who is she? Who is the real Elder Sun Ling?”
“Ugh…” The woman flinched, waking Yang Lujia from his temporary trance. He then looked up at her eyes, which were now open.
She had hazel-brown eyes that mirrored the eyes of a lioness. When she saw Yang Lujia, she scoffed and acted like she was done with all these things—even spitting out saliva.
PTUI!
“To think they would send a mortal to play with me today. What a joke. I really don’t know what has gotten into my father’s mind! Hell, I wouldn’t even call him my father anymore! He’s a beast!”
Seeing her spat so many words that he used to carefully infer, he later thought of a possibility. “Are you twins with Elder Sun Ling?”
“Who’s Elder Sun Ling? I am Sun Ling! Who dared to use my name outside? Is it my despicable twin sister again?! She’s really going too far!”
“So, that explains everything,” Yang Lujia said as he sighed. “Anyway, I am here to take you out. The fatty—I mean, your father might be conspiring over something with the Blue Scale Sect—”
“I know, but that won’t happen with me still alive! If I get out of here, I will slowly skin them alive and toss them to a flood of beasts!”
Subconsciously, Yang Lujia shivered at this aggressive woman’s words.
Were they referring to ‘this’ Elder Sun Ling, who was cold and would not bat an eye over those other geniuses?
After she said a lot of things, cursing her father and her sister, she realized something about Yang Lujia. Her eyes turned sharp and she vigorously said, “You! Who are you?! How did you get here? Why did you sound like you knew about the conspiracy they were trying to cook?! Aren’t you sent by the elders here to play with my life?!”
“No,” Yang Lujia calmly said, as he shook his head. “Like what I said, I am here to get you out of here. I also personally know your father, and I want to stop him from getting controlled by a Dark Executive.”
“What?! A Dark Executive?!” Sun Ling’s eyes widened a fraction.
After a minute of silence, while staring at Yang Lujia’s eyes, her forehead formed dark lines as she asked, “What is a Dark Executive anyway?”
“…” Yang Lujia was speechless.
Why did she act like she was shocked about her father being manipulated by a Dark Executive when she didn’t even know who or what a Dark Executive was?
Her head must be muddled at the moment. Or she was just an idiot who had no hope at all. This might be the reason why she got imprisoned in the first place.
Seeing this beautiful thing woman act like this, Yang Lujia could not imagine the men who tried to court her.
