Lin Kong came to his senses, disregarded everything else, and promptly got up to flee from the City God Temple, stumbling his way towards the deep mountains!
Due to his weakened state, he couldn't count how many times he fell along the way, but he got up each time to keep running.
As he ran, he cursed Xiao Jiu: "It's all because of that damned bird! I'm heavily injured and unable to rest properly. I had just found a temple to recuperate, and now I have to run again."
The more Lin Kong thought, the more frustrated he became. How could he be so unlucky? As a dignified State Preceptor sent as a spy to Moli Country, he thought he was backed by the Heavenly Master and the Fourth Prince, allowing him to roam freely. But one was killed by a weirdo, and the other was exposed for practicing an evil technique, leaving him with no choice. Under his encouragement, the Fourth Prince fled to Wei Country.
Lin Kong had done his country a favor.
