Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes!

"I failed to uncover the truth this time. I fear that Elder Qin Feiyue might not be willing to see me again."

Lin Yi sighed, taking this experience as a precedent. It seemed likely that in the future, Elder Qin Feiyue would avoid meeting him.

It became increasingly hopeless to pursue this matter.

This filled Lin Yi with a profound sense of frustration.

Lou Tingyu said, "Using conventional methods to investigate this matter is as difficult as ascending to heaven. In my opinion, it might be better to take a more unconventional approach, perhaps yielding some surprising results."

"An unconventional method?"

Lin Yi looked at Lou Tingyu, puzzled.

Lou Tingyu then moved closer to Lin Yi and whispered a few sentences into his ear.

After hearing this, Lin Yi’s expression changed immediately. "Can this really work?"

"You want to know the truth. This is the fastest way."

Lou Tingyu said indifferently, "Of course, you could also take it slow, gradually gain Elder Qin’s trust, and have her willingly tell you the truth."

Lin Yi frowned. That method was definitely not feasible. Master Wu Liang’s life was in imminent danger, and he couldn’t afford to waste so much time.

He had no choice but to resort to Lou Tingyu’s method!

Even though it was somewhat inappropriate, under the circumstances, it was the only option left.

...

Three days later.

Following the annihilation of the Mage Guild, the natives of the Earth Spirit Secret Realm were completely conquered by the Five Great Forces.

After pacifying the Earth Spirit Secret Realm, the forces of the Five Great Powers also began to leave the realm, embarking on their return journey.

The Holy Mansion was no exception.

Elder Qin Feiyue was at the very front of the team, but at that moment, she seemed distracted.

"Why would Lin Yi inquire about this matter? Could he be someone from Wu Liang?"

Wu Liang’s case was already concluded, and he was about to be executed by the Holy Mansion.

Now, someone wanted to investigate?

Unless deeply connected to Wu Liang, Elder Qin Feiyue couldn’t imagine anyone else getting involved.

A thought flickered in her mind, and a strange color flashed across her eyes.

Just then.

A figure suddenly appeared in front, blocking the path of the Holy Mansion group.

"Who’s there?"

Elder Qin Feiyue’s face changed suddenly as her gaze fell on the figure.

She saw a sinister figure whose half-face was covered by a black cloth, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

"A person from the Demon Sect?"

Elder Qin Feiyue felt the cold aura emanating from him and immediately became alert.

The people from the Demon Sect had returned?

But why had only one person come? What was the reason?

Before Elder Qin Feiyue could figure out the stranger’s intentions, the black-clothed, masked man charged directly at her!

"Courting death!"

Seeing one person daring to confront so many from the Holy Mansion, the Holy Mansion’s powerhouses felt a sense of being offended.

This devil was not taking them seriously!

In an instant, four True Masters from the Holy Mansion charged toward the masked man.

However, the masked man didn’t seem to take these four True Masters seriously at all, and with a mere wave of his hand, a tremendous force instantly sent the four flying.

The next moment, the masked old man appeared right in front of Qin Feiyue.

"What?!"

Elder Qin Feiyue was terrified. The four men were all above the Seventh Realm, how could they be so easily defeated?

She was about to resist when an extremely terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from the masked person in black, instantly rendering her body immobile and leaving her utterly defenseless!

The masked person in black struck Elder Qin Feiyue on the back of her head, knocking her unconscious.

Then, he took Qin Feiyue and disappeared into the distance.

Leaving the people of the Holy Mansion dumbstruck.

Had Elder Qin Feiyue of the Sealed Marquis Realm been kidnapped so easily?

Could the perpetrator be one of the high-ranking officials from the Demon Sect?

...

At this moment, in a cave a hundred miles away.

The masked person in black had captured Qin Feiyue and imprisoned her inside the cave.

Outside the cave’s entrance, a man and a woman walked inside—it was Lin Yi and Lou Tingyu.

"Kid, I’ve brought the person back for you. Kill or slash as you please."

The masked person in black removed the black cloth from his face, revealing a familiar countenance.

It was the Broken Vow Monk!

However, to be accurate, the entity currently occupying this meat body was Old Demon Yun Long!

With the help of the Soul Merging Pill, Old Demon Yun Long had successfully entered the body of the Broken Vow Monk and spent three days familiarizing himself with this body.

Now, he had regained some of his strength.

Although he had not returned to the peak strength of the Sealing King Realm, he was nearly unmatched below that level.

Upon hearing that Old Demon Yun Long had kidnapped the person, Lin Yi’s eyes slightly brightened, "No need, I just want to ask her a few questions."

"Ask questions?"

Old Demon Yun Long frowned, "Aren’t you afraid that this woman will deceive you with lies?"

"What, you think you can make her tell the truth?"

Lin Yi looked at Old Demon Yun Long.

"Hehe, what’s so difficult about that?"

Old Demon Yun Long grinned, "As a mighty devil of the Sealing King Realm, how could I not have such a minor trick?"

With that, he walked straight up to Qin Feiyue, bent his finger and a dark beam, like an earthworm, disappeared into Qin Feiyue’s forehead.

Immediately afterward, as Qin Feiyue’s expression struggled, her gaze quickly became vacant.

Old Demon Yun Long immediately turned his head and said solemnly, "The Secret Technique can only maintain for a very short time; if you have any questions, ask quickly!"

Lin Yi’s mind stirred, and his gaze immediately fell on the woman in front of him, "Elder Qin Feiyue, was it Master Wu Liang who desecrated your innocence back then?"

"Not..."

As Lin Yi expected, Qin Feiyue genuinely shook her head in denial.

Which relieved Lin Yi.

The Master was indeed innocent!

Although Lin Yi trusted Wu Liang deeply, he still harbored a slight worry; what if Wu Liang, in his younger and more impulsive days, had indeed committed an indecent act towards his fellow female disciple? Then his diligent endeavors to uncover the truth and vindicate the other party would have been in vain.

"Then who exactly was it that framed Master Wu Liang?"

Lin Yi stared intently at Qin Feiyue.

Qin Feiyue’s expression shifted slightly but still, she gave the answer.

"It was Third Elder..."

The Third Elder?!

Both Lin Yi and Lou Tingyu almost simultaneously reacted with shock.

How could it be the Third Elder?

Although they speculated that the culprit must hold a high position within the Holy Mansion, who was the Third Elder?

He was a formidable figure within the entire Holy Mansion, with his power ranked among the top five!

Moreover, the Third Elder was the master of both Wu Liang and Qin Feiyue!

It was incredibly difficult for them to accept that the Third Elder, who had always been held in high esteem by the people of the Holy Mansion, could commit such an atrocious act.
