The man in black was gnashing his teeth in the secret room, his clothes torn, and a black spot on his chest. The black spot was not terrible, but what was terrible was that there was a flame force in the black spot that was infiltrating his body, but he had no way to expel it. This was not poison, and it could not be solved by a detoxification pill.
If he had known that the cat that looked inconspicuous was actually the famous Black Nightmare Beast, he would never have tried to test it last night. The reason why he did it was because he believed that even if something went wrong, he could retreat with his whole body and make people not suspect him. But he didn't expect to fall into the hands of the insignificant little beast.
Seeing the Black Nightmare Beast, how could he not guess its origin? The action against the Shi family back then ended up benefiting that bastard Gu Yao. The man in black regretted that he should have secretly killed him when Gu Yao repeatedly slapped Dan Feng's face, but he didn't expect that his indifference back then would cause such a big disaster today.
"Pu!" He spat out another mouthful of blood in anger.
Just as the man in black was thinking of how to cover up this matter, the prohibition outside the secret room was suddenly triggered, and before he could think of a way, someone broke in forcibly. That person said with a gloomy face: "It really is you! Lin Mingguang! I didn't expect you to bury such a nail in my Heavenly Mansion Academy, and hide it so deep. If it weren't for the change in the situation this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be exposed until the end."
The man in black was the peak master of Dan Feng, Lin Fengzhu. He was still wearing the same clothes as last night, and the most conspicuous thing was the wound on his chest, so no matter what kind of excuse he found, it was useless. He could only face it head-on.
He sneered: "Since you old thing have discovered it, I won't deny it. Old fellow, if you know the situation, you shouldn't expose this matter, otherwise it will be of no benefit to you or the entire Heavenly Mansion Academy. Those are not forces that you can contend with."
But the next reaction of Yu Yuanzhang was beyond his expectation. Yu Yuanzhang didn't waste much words, but reached out to grab his neck, and at the same time a spiritual energy hit Lin Mingguang's hand. There was a talisman in his hand, which he just sacrificed and wanted to activate, but everything was under Yu Yuanzhang's control.
Lin Fengzhu wanted to shout for help, to attract the attention of the disciples outside, and tried every means to escape, but he found that his spiritual power was suppressed, and his neck fell into Yu Yuanzhang's hands. He desperately showed weakness with his eyes, but Yu Yuanzhang was expressionless throughout, and with a force on his hand, he twisted his neck.
Until he died, Lin Fengzhu didn't expect that he would end up like this. He was originally the master of a peak, and the peak master of Dan Feng. He had a very important position in the Heavenly Mansion Academy and even the entire Tianlin Continent. But even if his strength was strong, as long as he didn't break through the foundation building limit, he had no resistance in front of the golden core.
Lin Mingguang died with his eyes wide open, but his soul was not at peace after he died. He was directly and brutally searched by Yu Yuanzhang.
But only halfway through, Lin Mingguang's soul exploded with a bang, and his soul flew away. Yu Yuanzhang's face was dark, and he didn't expect the other party to put a prohibition on Lin Mingguang's soul, just to prevent the soul-searching technique.
At the same time, in another cultivation room, Ling Qi, who was in the eyes of outsiders, was in seclusion, suddenly vomited blood, and fell to the ground with convulsions. He died soon, and his eyes were still wide open, full of astonishment.
He had this result only for one possibility, that Lin Mingguang was dead, and he who was under Lin Mingguang's soul ban had no chance of surviving.
A few days later, the disciples of Dan Feng, including Wei Jinzhi, found that the eldest brother still hadn't walked out of the cultivation room, tried to call him, but there was no response. However, a younger brother ran over in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good! The eldest brother's soul tablet is broken!"
Wei Jinzhi was shocked, and asked someone to break into the cultivation room, and found Ling Qi lying on the ground. He also asked someone to inform the peak master and others, but the peak master was nowhere to be seen. Instead, other disciples and the academy's high-level officials rushed over. Dan Feng's eldest disciple suddenly died quietly in the cultivation room, which was very strange. Maybe it was the enemy who sneaked in and did it. If they could do it to Ling Qi, they could do it to others, so they were very nervous.
But after the inspection, it was concluded that Ling Qi's cause of death was a strong soul backlash, and he died instantly, so he didn't even have time to call for help.
"Where is your peak master? His big disciple has an accident, and he is nowhere to be seen?"
Wei Jinzhi was very sad. After he came to Dan Feng, his eldest brother helped him a lot and patiently taught him. Now he suddenly died, and he couldn't accept it. He choked and said, "Master hasn't seen anyone for several days, maybe he is in seclusion. We can't break into the place where Master is in seclusion, so we can't inform Master."
Finally, Yu Yuanzhang came out and asked an elder of Dan Feng to temporarily take over the mundane affairs of Dan Feng, and wait until Lin Fengzhu came out of seclusion. That is to say, this elder temporarily acted as the peak master.
As for when Lin Fengzhu would come out of seclusion? Yu Yuanzhang didn't tell anyone else that there would never be a time to come out of seclusion. Even if someone broke into the secret room, they would find that it was empty inside, and there was no corpse, so they thought that Lin Mingguang had disappeared.
The disciple left behind a soul tablet, but Lin Mingguang, as the master of a peak, did not hand over his soul tablet to Dan Feng for processing. Perhaps he didn't want people to infer his whereabouts through the soul tablet, which resulted in his whereabouts being a mystery in the Heavenly Mansion Academy.
"Yuanzhang, Lin Fengzhu he…" Elder Yi was upright, but he also suspected Lin Fengzhu that night, so he wouldn't think it was that simple.
"I have dealt with him, and Ling Qi was under his soul ban, so he died of backlash. After this matter calms down, we will reorganize Dan Feng. Most of the students on Dan Feng are innocent." That's why Yu Yuanzhang decided to hide the matter of Lin Fengzhu, and there was no direct evidence to prove it on the surface. To avoid trouble in Dan Feng, it was better to deal with it low-key.
"That bastard! Was he sent by them from the beginning, or did he join them later?" Elder Yi gritted his teeth and cursed.
Yu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "He joined them later, but the key moments were hidden by the prohibition, so there was no way to search his soul." He could only search for some superficial things, but he knew nothing about the key points.
"Ling Qi is dead?" Gu Yao was shocked when he heard this from someone else. "What about Lin Fengzhu?"
"Lin Fengzhu is still in seclusion and doesn't know about this. Otherwise, he would be too sad to continue seclusion." This was the news that a pill master from Jian Feng got from outside. Ling Qi's identity was extraordinary, so his accident spread throughout the Heavenly Mansion Academy in no time, and no one was not surprised.
I'm afraid even Qian Xue Men knew about it now, and the impact was not small.
Gu Yao was very puzzled. Was he really still in seclusion? Ling Qi's death itself was very suspicious, especially after hearing the description of Ling Qi's death.
Xu Chen sighed in the space: "I didn't expect that the dean of your academy was quite decisive. The surname Lin must have been killed by him. His eldest disciple's death was obvious that he died of soul ban backlash. The person who placed the soul ban died, and the person who was restrained by him would not have a good end either."
Gu Yao was stunned: "So that's how it is."
He wondered how he suddenly went into a demonic state and died of backlash. Ling Qi was equivalent to Lin Mingguang's servant. When the master died, the servant who offered his soul naturally died with him.
But Gu Yao's mood was still quite complicated. He had met Ling Qi many times, and compared with Wei Jinzhi, Ling Qi was more gentle and easy to get along with. He had a kind of elder brother's demeanor, but he didn't expect that he was actually controlled by Lin Mingguang. If he was forced, then he died very unjustly.
Gu Yao hadn't seen Wei Jinzhi for a long time. He must have had a hard time accepting the death of his eldest brother. The atmosphere on Dan Feng was also more depressed and low. Such a big thing happened, and the peak master didn't show up. And there was no share of Tian Yuan Dan for Dan Feng. The eldest brother died too suddenly, as if unfortunate news came one after another.
The little fatty was in seclusion, and he didn't want to come out without building the foundation. Tian Feirong settled down in the cultivation room for a few days and came out. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen outside. Dan Feng's eldest brother was gone, and everyone felt strange when they heard it.
Compared with the people of Dan Feng, the other students just sighed for a while. Now the outside was in chaos, and it was hard to focus all their attention on Dan Feng.
There was news that Hu Valley Master was attacked by unknown people on his way back, but because Hu Valley Master successfully formed the golden core, the enemy didn't get much benefit from him. When Hu Valley Master returned to Cui Yan Valley, he had such a golden core cultivator sitting in town, and the factional struggle in the valley and the chaos among the various forces attached to Cui Yan Valley were suppressed by him with a strong attitude.
In the past, Hu Valley Master had a very peaceful image both internally and externally. Perhaps because of this temperament, the phenomenon of forming cliques in Cui Yan Valley was very serious, and even so powerful that it could influence the situation of Cui Yan Valley. In the past, Hu Valley Master always tried to mediate these factions with harmony, but this time when Hu Valley Master returned, he directly uprooted one of the factions, killed the leading elder, confiscated the property and assets, and expelled the disciples under his command from the valley.
The result announced also shocked the disciples in the valley. Those powerful elders and their factions, using their power and position, embezzled a large amount of resources in the valley. The cultivators who originally thought that Hu Valley Master was too ruthless, now applauded him. If they tolerated those parasites any longer, Cui Yan Valley would become their private power.
After stopping a bad trend, the atmosphere of Cui Yan Valley became much cleaner. If it weren't for the bad situation outside, there would be many forces going to Cui Yan Valley, one to congratulate him on his successful golden core formation, and the other to ask him for pills. Of course, he had already shown his sincerity to the various forces when he hadn't left the Heavenly Mansion Academy.
The return journey of Tian Hai Men was also very uneasy. Even with preparation, they still fell into layers of encirclement. In the end, the gate master only took a small part of the people and broke out of the encirclement, and met with the gate people who came to meet them, and then they escaped.
It is said that when they were trapped in the encirclement, someone from outside helped Tian Hai Men and opened a gap for them. Otherwise, Tian Hai Men would have been wiped out.
When the news came back, Tian Feirong was so angry that he trembled. His eldest brother was still alive, but he was seriously injured. If it weren't for him to let Lao Qi follow him, the outcome would be hard to say.
