Chapter 250: Conspiracy at Midnight
Chapter 250: Conspiracy at Midnight
Night fell over the Phoenix Medicine Sect. After being entangled by Sima Ling for a whole day, Lin Zhao walked to the foot of Qingyun Peak with a tired look on his face, and pinched his brows with a grim expression.
"This Sima Ling is really cunning." She and Sima Ling practiced Tai Chi for a whole day, but neither of them gained any benefit from the other.
"We need to find a way to make him feel at ease, or find someone to make him feel at ease."
Unfortunately, the people Sima Ling brought her to meet that day all had a good relationship with him, so Lin Zhao couldn't find anyone to join forces with him to target him.
"Master, is there anything strange about Yun Fei?"
Grandma Honghu told the truth: "That little girl may be of extraordinary status. She has a magical weapon protecting her body, and I cannot sense it at the moment."
A direct disciple of the Phoenix Medicine Sect is protected by a magical weapon. It seems that Yun Fei is a little princess with a strong background.
"How could you be so blind as to fall for this thing?" Lin Zhao sighed.
"Maybe she didn't want to be like him. Don't forget that the evil thoughts of the other world in the little girl surnamed Chen have some ways to influence other people's feelings."
Lin Zhao's eyes moved when he heard this, "I also understand the influence of the evil thoughts from other worlds, but if one's heart is firm, it will only affect one's behavior."
It's impossible for Yun Fei to be so devoted.
Lin Zhao couldn't figure this out, so he simply used a magic trick and found the place where the inner disciples of Qingyun Peak had practiced before.
There was a young man who had been waiting there for a long time.
When Lin Zhao arrived, Han Chen's expression was already distorted.
Lin Zhao approached him and set up a barrier before allowing the other party to speak.
"Lin Hui! What kind of evil magic did you use to control me? Be careful or I will report you to the Second Elder!"
"Level 5 Puppet House." Lin Zhao peeled off the yellow talisman from the other party and explained casually. Before the other party went berserk, Lin Zhao said.
"Have you always been this grumpy?"
Han Chen was stunned, then turned his head away: "What does this have to do with you?"
"That's not the case. I asked around and others said that when you first joined the sect, you were the most patient and talented one."
Han Chen remained silent and stopped talking.
Lin Zhao pinched his face, looked into his eyes and asked, "Don't you want to know why you became like this?"
Han Chen sneered at himself. "Because my talent can only support me to this point, my lack of strength will affect my Taoism. Are you satisfied with what I said?"
Lin Zhao slapped him in the face.
Han Chen's face suddenly became swollen.
"You! Even if you are a direct disciple, you do not have the right to beat or scold inner disciples at will!"
Lin Zhao didn't care, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If I beat you to death in front of the other inner disciples, do you think I will punish you?"
Han Chen gritted his teeth, and finally stood there silently like a deflated ball: "What do you want me to do?"
The other party used a level 5 puppet talisman to control herself. It was impossible for her to come here in the middle of the night just because she had offended her during the day.
Lin Zhao said bluntly: "I need your help with something. If you are willing to help, that's great. If you are not willing, then I can only force you to help."
Han Chen frowned: "How can I, a fusion stage, help you?"
Lin Zhao smiled: "You can help me a lot."
She alone could not fight against Sima Ling, who had a deep background here. The Second Elder gave her a feeling of being even more dangerous. Lin Zhao did not intend to reveal her intention to confront the Second Elder now.
Han Chen thought for a moment and asked, "What good will it do to help you?"
Lin Zhao looked at him for a while and said, "Perhaps, I can give you back your amazing talent."
Han Chen's pupils shrank and he took a deep breath: "What did you say?!"
He was not a fool and he quickly figured out the trick. In fact, many people in the Phoenix Medicine Sect had this idea, but no one had any evidence.
After all, something as mysterious as stealing talent is too unbelievable. If you tell it to others, others will only suspect that you are not talented enough and blame others.
"How sure are you?"
Lin Zhao shook her head: "About 80%."
Eighty percent is already a terrifying number. Han Chen could only feel his heart pounding. He had never been so excited in more than a decade.
"The remaining 20% is if I fail to complete it, you have to collect my body." Lin Zhao asked, "How, what for?"
Han Chen nodded fiercely: "If it doesn't work this time, I don't plan to stay here anymore."
Lin Zhao was surprised: "You trust me so much?"
Han Chen shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I believe you, but I feel that if I continue like this, not only will I not be able to practice Taoism, but I will also become a demon."
Lin Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Why do you feel this way?"
Although there has always been a saying about going astray and becoming possessed in the world of cultivation, those who truly cultivate Taoism are cultivating their heart at every step, and it is very difficult to go astray and become possessed, unless one has initially taken the evil path, then it is easy to become possessed.
For cultivators like Han Chen who have reached the fusion stage, theoretically there is little possibility that their Tao heart will go astray, unless they voluntarily become fallen immortals after overcoming the tribulation and ascending to heaven.
Otherwise, the inner demon will be born, but the birth of the inner demon requires demonic energy as a trigger.
Han Chen's words were clearly hinting that there was demonic energy in the Phoenix Medicine Sect.
Han Chen's expression was conflicted for a long time before he gave a quiet reminder.
"If you have time, you can go to the Second Elder's Underground Palace and take a look."
He had also stumbled in by accident, and although he didn't see anything, his cultivation has become increasingly difficult since then.
In addition, he noticed that the Second Elder had captured more and more people over the years. These people were not dealt with externally, but were imprisoned in the underground palace. How big is the underground palace to be able to imprison tens of thousands of monks?
The Second Elder’s statement to the outside world was that it had been handed over to the Empire to deal with.
But his family has some connections at the imperial border, and the empire knows nothing about the Phoenix Medicine Sect.
So where will those monks go?
Han Chen didn't dare to think about it too much, nor did he dare to leave Qingyun Peak. He could only give up the idea of becoming the Second Elder's direct disciple.
But now Lin Hui's words gave him another direction.
Lin Hui was not afraid of death and wanted to do something big during his heart-beating period, so why not take a chance himself?
He was fed up with his increasingly mediocre and irritable self.
"Then it's a deal." Lin Zhao handed him a stack of sound transmission talismans: "Each talisman can record fifty sentences. Communication on the Tiantong Mirror may be detected. This is safer. You can contact me through this if you have any questions."
Han Chen took the talisman, nodded and left.
Lin Zhao looked around for a while, then took off the disguise on his face, put on an invisibility cloak that covered his entire body, and flew towards Qingyun Peak.
"Damn, I forgot to ask where the underground palace is." Lin Zhao slapped her forehead and was about to return the same way when a familiar breath caught her attention.
"Yun Fei? She's wandering around here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lin Zhao frowned and followed Yun Fei's breath.
Obviously Yun Fei also disguised herself, wearing only night clothes, for fear that others would not know that she was here to do something bad.
Lin Zhao speechlessly pasted talisman paper to conceal the girl's aura and followed her into a cave.
