Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

Chapter 230 Betrayal, Eliminating the Roots...

Lin Yuan watched the changes in their expressions, from despair to ecstasy, from hesitation to resolve. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he increased the pressure on their feet, his tone icy and chilling: "What? Have you made up your minds? Or do you think I'll spare your lives even if you don't talk? I don't have that much patience to give you one last chance. Either tell the truth, or die right now!"

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Please spare my life, I'll tell you everything, I won't hide a single word!" Lingtai was driven to the brink of collapse by the excruciating pain under his feet and the oppressive feeling from Lin Yuan. He hurriedly spoke, his voice trembling with pain and excitement, his words so fast that they were almost inaudible, fearing that Lin Yuan would change his mind and kill him in the next second.

As he spoke, he secretly rejoiced: "Luckily, I spoke quickly. As long as I tell all the information, this person will definitely spare my life. It doesn't matter how much I say about that old man. Anyway, he doesn't know that I told him. Even if he does, I've already fled far away. Once I survive, I'll find a place where no one knows me, live in anonymity, and live a peaceful life. I'll never go back to Xuanzhen Temple, never follow Xuanjizi in doing evil again, and never suffer those torments again."

"Our master's name is Xuanjizi. He has cultivated for nearly a hundred years and is incredibly powerful. He is skilled in all kinds of sinister magic, and his most powerful weapon is his natal magic weapon, the 'Mysterious Yin Mirror'!" Lingtai spoke urgently, afraid that Lingyu would steal the credit. "That Mysterious Yin Mirror can absorb the sinister energy of heaven and earth to refine evil objects, and it can also unleash deadly, chilling attacks. He rarely makes a move, but once he does, there are no survivors!"

Seeing this, Lingyu panicked, fearing that Lingtai would reveal all the information and she would lose her chance to survive. She quickly endured the excruciating pain in her arm and added:

"Furthermore! Xuanzhen Temple is located a thousand miles away atop Xuanzhen Mountain. It is built against the mountain in a treacherous location, and many sinister formations are set up around it, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close!"

As Lingyu spoke, she secretly observed Lin Yuan's expression. Seeing that there was no obvious impatience in Lin Yuan's eyes, she became even more certain that as long as she explained in enough detail, she would definitely survive.

He even plotted in his heart that once he survived, he would find an opportunity to take revenge on Xuanjizi, expose his evil deeds over the years, ruin his reputation, and leave him with no place to be buried, so that his fellow disciples who died tragically could rest in peace.

"Let me tell you! Let me tell you! Xuanjizi's true purpose in raising the dragon wasn't just to collect Yin energy to aid his cultivation!" Lingtai exclaimed anxiously, his voice growing increasingly urgent. "He also wanted to refine the dragon's inner core, integrate it with his own cultivation, and break through his current realm. That dragon's inner core, containing Yin energy accumulated over so many years, was key to his breakthrough. That's why he poured his heart and soul into carefully raising and refining that dragon, preventing anyone from approaching the Xuanyin Cold Pool!"

"Unfortunately, the dragon's inner core could not be extracted until it was fully refined. Now that the dragon is dead, the inner core is naturally unattainable..."

The two of them spoke one after the other, eagerly revealing all the information about Xuanzhen Temple and Xuanjizi, afraid that if they spoke too slowly, Lin Yuan would change his mind.

They poured out everything they knew, from the layout of Xuanzhen Temple and the distribution of disciples' strength, to Xuanjizi's cultivation, spells, and natal magic weapon, and even all the details of his raising of dragons and practicing evil arts, leaving nothing out.

They even went so far as to expose Xuanjizi's shameful deeds—that he secretly practiced forbidden and evil arts, harmed innocent people, and plundered the cultivation of cultivators to enhance his own strength. In order to refine the Xuan Yin Mirror, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the souls of thousands of innocent children, his methods were extremely cruel...

As Lingtai spoke, he secretly calculated in his heart: "As long as I tell him all this information, this person will definitely spare my life. That old bastard Xuanjizi has done many evil deeds. Even if I tell him everything, it will be to rid the people of a scourge. Even if he finds out later, I will have already gone into hiding and he won't be able to find me. Once I survive, I will find a place to recuperate properly. Even if I lose all my cultivation, being an ordinary person is better than living in fear and being used as a tool in Xuanzhen Temple."

The two talked on and on for a full half hour, revealing all the secrets of Xuanzhen Temple and Xuanjizi. Their tone was humble and their eyes pleading. They had long lost their previous arrogance and were left only with the instinct to survive.

All that so-called master-disciple bond, all that fear of Xuanjizi, became worthless in the face of the desire to live.

They were even supplementing and reminding each other, afraid that they would lose their chance to survive if they missed a certain detail.

Lin Yuan stood quietly in place, arms crossed, listening intently. The lightning at his fingertips gradually subsided, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if he were plotting something.

An Xin stood to the side, listening attentively to the two men, her sniper rifle still aimed at them, her eyes alert, occasionally recording key information, her heart filled with solemnity—this time, they had truly gotten themselves into a huge mess, an opponent like Xuanjizi was far more dangerous than that thousand-year-old evil dragon.

Finally, Lingtai and Lingyu finished recounting all the information. Both were panting heavily, covered in sweat, and their faces were ashen from the pain of their wounds, yet they still looked at Lin Yuan with fervent eyes, their eyes filled with pleading.

Lingtai spoke cautiously, his voice weak and humble: "M-Sir, we've told you everything, without hiding a single word. Everything is true. You can investigate! Please, please spare our lives. We'll never dare to do it again, never dare to hunt you down again. We'll never follow Xuanjizi in committing evil again. We'll find a place where no one knows us, hide our identities, and never show our faces again!"

Lingyu quickly echoed, her eyes pleading, "Yes, sir, we've told you everything! We've told you all the secrets—Xuanjizi's weaknesses, the flaws of Xuanzhen Temple—we've told you everything! Please spare our lives! We know we were wrong, we'll never dare to do it again. Just spare our lives, we'll do anything you ask!"

The two men pleaded and kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads hitting the gravel on the ground, drawing blood quickly. But they dared not stop, fearing that Lin Yuan would change his mind.

At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds: to survive. As long as they could survive, they would be willing to kowtow and admit their mistakes, or even be treated like slaves.

Looking at the two men's humble and pleading appearance, and at the burning desire to survive in their eyes, Lin Yuan suddenly curled up a cold and icy smile. In that smile, there was no pity, only endless mockery and ruthlessness.

"Spare your lives?" Lin Yuan's voice was icy and deep, like a summons from hell, instantly freezing Lingtai and Lingyu's bodies. Their initial elation and longing were instantly replaced by boundless fear. "Do you think you can still live?"

Lingtai panicked and hurriedly tried to explain, her voice trembling with fear, "Please, give us another chance! We really know we were wrong, we'll never do it again!"

"An opportunity?" Lin Yuan sneered, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "You'd better watch out next time, or you'll run into my hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning surged at Lin Yuan's fingertips, and golden lightning instantly condensed into two sharp lightning blades. With a flick of his wrist, the two lightning blades, crackling with lightning, struck fiercely towards Lingtai and Lingyu's heads like two bolts of lightning.

Lingtai and Lingyu's expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with despair and resentment. They never expected that Lin Yuan would go back on his word. He had promised to spare their lives, but he still wanted to kill them! They wanted to dodge and resist, but they were seriously injured and their spiritual energy was in disarray, so they could not move at all. They could only watch helplessly as the lightning blade struck them.

"No! You broke your promise! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Lingtai let out a shrill scream, his eyes filled with resentment. But before he could finish speaking, the lightning blade struck his head. With a crisp "crack," his head was split in two, blood and brains splattering everywhere. His soul was instantly burned away by the lightning, and his body collapsed limply to the ground, completely lifeless.

Lingyu also let out a desperate wail. He looked at the corpse of Lingtai beside him, his heart filled with fear. But he could not escape death either. The lightning blade struck his head accurately, and he met the same end. His soul was destroyed, and his body fell into a pool of blood. Gone was his previous arrogance and ruthlessness, leaving only endless silence.

Lin Yuan withdrew the lightning from his fingertips, looked at the two corpses on the ground, his eyes filled with no pity, only coldness.

He wouldn't leave any future troubles for himself; he had to nip them in the bud!
