Chapter 141 Coercion and inducement
While Huang Yu and the others were whispering inside the house, Ding Yi, who was setting up explosives on the roof, guessed what was going on.
Bai Wangyun's request for the cultivation technique still attracted the attention of others.
Originally, Ding Yi also felt that this move was too rash and somewhat inappropriate, but the symptoms of daily mental and physical weakness were like a Damocles' sword hanging over his head, making him feel that this kind of risk was still necessary.
But now it seems he underestimated the ruthlessness of this Chaotic God Cult.
We will never let anyone who is not one of our own, whether they are a martial artist or an ordinary person.
"However, the Chaotic God Sect has actually planted pawns in various places in Qingzhou. It must have a powerful background. Moreover, it even has cultivation techniques for the Yuanqiao Realm. Could it be that it is backed by a former martial arts sect?"
Ding Yi thought to himself at that moment.
Before this calamity descended, numerous sects existed within the territory of Daliang.
Various sects that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years have emerged one after another, and the martial arts path is at its zenith.
After all, the Great Liang Dynasty valued martial arts. Its founding emperor, Emperor Yuan of Liang, possessed unparalleled martial prowess and unified the world by virtue of his cultivation at the pinnacle of the ninth level of the Immortal Realm, which can be described as suppressing an era.
Now, with the rise of various divine palaces, those former sects have either been destroyed or disappeared without a trace, and no news of them can be heard throughout the entire Great Liang territory.
Therefore, Ding Yi suspected that behind these Chaotic God Cults, people from these former sects might be hiding behind the scenes, secretly manipulating them.
At this moment, Lin Bao looked at Ding Yi in front of him, his heart filled with conflict.
Although Lin Bao also underwent a blood transfusion, he has been stuck at the initial stage for many years, not even reaching the level of a minor Chengdu. Therefore, he can only serve as a patrol captain and has never shown any outstanding performance.
The passion he had when he first broke through the blood transfusion has now been crushed by reality, but when he saw Ding Yi tonight, the dormant feeling deep inside him suddenly became restless again.
"Dry!"
"go!"
Lin Bao's face flushed with excitement. With a wave of his hand, he prepared to lead his men to the Wuji Sect.
But Ding Yi smiled and stopped Lin Bao.
"Captain Lin, how can you arrest someone without evidence?"
Lin Bao was taken aback and subconsciously looked around, but found no evidence.
But then Ding Yi slowly said:
"Several corpses, all covered up, were being carried."
"As soon as you walk in, tell them these people have already confessed; as for the rest..."
When Ding Yi said this, Lin Bao's eyes lit up immediately.
"Great idea! If they're scared, it means something's fishy. If they're not scared, we can say the Wuji Sect broke into a private residence with the intention of harming officials. We can force a charge against them. Good, good, I've been fed up with these gangs for a long time!"
Lin Bao ordered several men to lift the corpses, cover them with cloth, and carry them outside.
The Wuji Sect, deep within its courtyard.
Song Mingyuan was resting in bed at the moment, with her favorite concubine sleeping next to her.
Suddenly, Song Mingyuan opened his eyes, as if he had realized something, and sat up abruptly in bed.
"master.."
The concubine beside him was startled awake by his movements. Thinking that Song Mingyuan was thinking about something again, she mumbled something, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and prepared to take off her bodice.
To her surprise, Song Mingyuan ignored her completely, got out of bed, and lit the oil lamp on the table by the moonlight.
As the orange glow slowly spread, Song Mingyuan silently looked out the door, picked up the clothes hanging by the bed, and slowly began to dress.
"master?"
The concubine lay on the bed, looking at the person in front of her, somewhat bewildered.
Song Mingyuan didn't speak. Instead, he dressed and opened the door, his ears twitching as he listened to the sounds of the breeze in the darkness.
"problem occurs."
Song Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Put on your clothes and go out through the backyard."
Song Mingyuan gave instructions to the concubine behind him.
After saying this, he ignored his concubine, walked directly out of the courtyard, and leaped up to stand on the high roof ridge of the front hall, looking down below.
Under the darkness before him, a beam of light was rapidly approaching the Wuji Sect's encampment from afar. The clamor of footsteps carried by the wind to Song Mingyuan's ears, growing clearer and clearer.
Song Mingyuan narrowed his eyes, then turned and jumped off the roof, quickly walking towards his study.
At this moment, apart from the patrol team, he couldn't think of anyone else who would have the guts to run around the city.
The fact that the patrol team was marching in this direction in such a grand manner could only mean one thing: Huang Yu and his group's plan to arrest people had failed.
Although he didn't know why all three grandmasters failed, Song Mingyuan vaguely guessed a possibility.
A traitor has emerged within the church!
Huang Yu and his group have been ambushed!
He needed to report this matter to his superiors quickly. The Chaotic God Cult's layout in Baihe City was very important, and he couldn't afford to be implicated because of this.
Shortly after Song Mingyuan entered the study, a deafening shout rang out in front of the Wuji Sect's gate.
"Open the door!!"
"The Ninth Ward Patrol Team is under investigation. Open the door immediately!!"
The loud shouts quickly brought the lights to life in the previously dark rooms of the Wuji Sect.
A servant rushed over in a panic and, at the signal of the Wuji Sect's higher-ups, laboriously opened the heavy door.
As the gate opened, a patrol team dressed in black brocade rushed in one by one, but the Wuji Sect members who surrounded them focused their attention on the three figures they were dragging.
All three were dressed in black and wore hoods, so the group looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the patrol was up to.
"These three are all elders of your Wuji Sect. They attacked the patrol officers while under curfew, and after questioning, they have admitted to colluding with the Chaotic God Cult and are charged with treason!!"
Lin Bao gripped the hilt of his knife, took a small step forward, swept his tiger-like eyes across the crowd, and said in a cold voice.
"What?! Sir, this is a misunderstanding!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became furious.
Attacking patrol officers on Yin Yang Palace territory is a major incident, and its connection to the Chaotic God Cult makes it an even bigger deal.
The people of Yin Yang Palace can allow people to practice martial arts, and even allow martial artists to serve as officials, but as long as a person is in league with the Chaotic God Cult, no matter who it is, they will be skinned alive, have their tendons pulled out, and be reduced to ashes.
Bai Wangyun was also standing in the crowd at this moment, looking at the three men in black kneeling at the door, and his heart was pounding.
Seriously? I just escaped from Qingfeng County, and now I have to escape again?
Thinking of this, he looked around and saw that Nangong Tian was also looking at him. The two of them immediately understood each other and quietly retreated to the back.
"No misunderstanding, that's not what you said!!"
"I'm giving you a chance now: reveal your accomplices, and you'll be spared death!!"
As he spoke, Lin Bao suddenly pulled off the hood of the person next to him, only to find that the person's face was pale and his head was drooping, his life hanging in the balance.
"It's Elder Hong!!"
"It really is Elder Hong!!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it true?"
Some people began to waver, their faces turning pale.
Although the Wuji Sect is controlled by the Chaotic God Sect, it is all aimed at certain high-ranking individuals.
As for the other members, they were all kept in the dark, thinking they had joined a normal martial arts organization.
"No, sir!!"
Suddenly, the warriors and servants in the crowd knelt down and wailed at Lin Bao.
Lin Bao watched this scene and immediately let out a cold laugh:
"You say it's not true, then it's not true. Come on, name a rebel, and I'll spare your life. Consider it an exchange of lives!"
"I know, I think Xiaochunzi from the kitchen next door looks just like her!!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and then quietly disappeared.
Now that someone had spoken up, everyone else couldn't hold back any longer, fearing that their suspected individuals would be exposed, and they all rushed to speak:
"I think several of the elders are!"
"And the faction leader!!"
"All of the sect leader's concubines look alike!!"
For a moment, the noise was deafening, like a bustling marketplace, but Lin Bao remained calm, as if he had expected it.
He watched as several figures quietly disappeared from the crowd opposite him, and his heart grew increasingly excited.
He seems to have really caught a big fish!
