After killing Master Hong, Lin Dong released everyone there.
And he drove the Gu worms out of their bodies.
The people all knelt before Lin Dong, treating him as if he were a divine being.
Lin Dong waved his hand, instructing them to leave and warning them not to trust such "masters" anymore.
At the moment, Chu Lan was still unconscious, and Lin Dong carried her off as he left.
The aftermath here was left to Sister Hong.
"Remember, don't let any get away!" Lin Dong instructed Sister Hong before leaving the place.
Lin Dong carried Chu Lan away from the Taoist Temple, and not long after they left the door, Lin Dong slapped her twice to wake her up.
Once Chu Lan awoke, she asked, "Lin Dong, I'm not dead? Did you save me?"
Lin Dong nodded, "Sort of."
"I knew it, so you really did care about me, right? You knew he wouldn't kill me and you said that on purpose, didn't you?" Chu Lan excitedly said.
