Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Secret Contact

Of course, as the top disciple of a Sword Saint and a Half-Saint of Lanyun, it was highly unlikely that he belonged to the Pi Jue Corpse Clan.

It’s just that Lin Yi didn’t want to take any risks.

"I see."

Lanyun Half-Saint frowned, "Once the Master retreats, there’s no telling when he will come out. Even if we send him messages, he might not see them immediately."

"If you, young friend Lin Yi, are not in a hurry, you can only stay a few days at Blood Prison Mountain and wait for the Master to come out."

Lin Yi nodded and gave Lanyun Half-Saint a bow, "Then I will impose upon you."

"It’s no trouble."

A smile, warm as a spring breeze, appeared on Lanyun Half-Saint’s face.

"Lead young friend Lin Yi to the side palace to stay temporarily."

Immediately after, he arranged for a disciple to take Lin Yi away.

After Lin Yi left, the smile on Lanyun Half-Saint’s face gradually faded.

Yun Shan, Lanyun Half-Saint’s senior disciple, with a curious look, said, "Our Blood Prison Mountain has never interacted with the lineage of the Yuantian Sword Saint, why would the Yuantian Sword Saint suddenly send someone here?"

"I am also puzzled."

A sharp light flashed in Lanyun Half-Saint’s eyes, "Yun Shan, keep a close watch on this young man, but make sure he doesn’t notice."

"I want to see what tricks this young man is trying to play."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the instruction, Yun Shan, Lanyun Half-Saint’s disciple, immediately withdrew and disappeared within the hall.

...

After being taken to the side palace guest room,

Lin Yi did not settle down quietly.

Instead, after the disciples of Blood Prison Mountain had left, he waited until midnight. Lin Yi then donned a garment for night travel and quietly left the side palace.

As Lin Yi left the main hall, the figure of Yun Shan also emerged.

Watching the direction in which Lin Yi was leaving, a cold light suddenly flashed in Yun Shan’s eyes, "This youngster is indeed up to no good, sneaking out so late. Is he planning some unsavory schemes?"

After a moment of hesitation, Yun Shan quickly followed him.

At this time, Lin Yi had already arrived at a Spirit Stone Vein.

The dark mine shaft was damp and filled with a musty smell.

A white-haired middle-aged man with a face full of sorrow lay in the mine shaft, sighing deeply.

This middle-aged man with white hair was Qi Sheng, the only direct disciple of Half-Saint Kong Yuan.

Since his master, Half-Saint Kong Yuan, had rebelled, their status at Blood Prison Mountain had plummeted to the lowest level, not to mention being demoted to mine slaves.

Their lives had since become utterly dark.

As they had the Slave Mark implanted by the Blood Prison Sword Saint inside them, they were unable to leave Blood Prison Mountain and were forced to toil miserably in this Spirit Mine.

A Venerable, yet reduced to a mine slave, had lost all dignity, a situation utterly tragic.

How long would such days last?

Just as Qi Sheng was filled with despair, a voice suddenly reached his ears, "Are you Qi Sheng, the direct disciple of Senior Kong Yuan?"

"Who’s there?"

Qi Sheng’s face suddenly changed, and he looked toward the source of the voice, only to see a young stranger appear in his sight.

After just a glance at the young figure before him, Qi Sheng’s eyes narrowed sharply, "You are not from Blood Prison Mountain. Who exactly are you?"

Lin Yi, expressionless, said, "I am entrusted by someone to do something here."

"Entrusted by whom? To do what?"

A hint of wariness appeared on Qi Sheng’s face.

"Naturally, by Half-Saint Kong Yuan."

A sharp gleam flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes, "I have come here to clear his name."

Qi Sheng, utterly shocked, blurted out, "Clear his name?"

"It seems, then, that my master was indeed wronged?"

"Correct."

Lin Yi nodded and informed Qi Sheng about the matter of Luo Fu Half-Saint being a spy from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan.

The truth shook Qi Sheng deeply. Luo Fu Half-Saint, the fourth disciple of Blood Prison Half-Saint and a Half-Saint himself, was actually a spy from the Pi Jue Corpse Clan?

This news was incredibly shocking.

However, Qi Sheng still did not fully believe Lin Yi, looking at him skeptically, "This is just your unilateral claim."

"Without evidence, how can I believe you?"

Lin Yi didn’t waste words, he simply waved his palm, and a blood-colored treasure sword appeared in his hand.

"This is..."

Upon seeing the blood-colored Holy Sword in Lin Yi’s hand, Qi Sheng’s face dramatically changed because the sword in Lin Yi’s hand was the very Blood Prison Holy Sword that Blood Prison Mountain had been searching for!

"How come this Blood Prison Holy Sword is in your possession?"

This sword should have been with his Master Kong Yuan; how could it have ended up in Lin Yi’s hands?

Lin Yi, looking directly at Qi Sheng, said, "Now, do you believe what I’ve said?"

"Would you mind telling me everything you know?"

Seeing Qi Sheng still somewhat hesitant, Lin Yi decided to use his trump card, "If we can clear Senior Kong Yuan’s name, you naturally can be freed from blame and need not continue to toil in this Spirit Mine."

"What do you want to know?"

After a moment of fluctuating expressions, Qi Sheng’s face became very calm, evidently choosing to trust Lin Yi.

Even if there were risks involved, Qi Sheng decided to take the plunge, risking it all!

Seeing Qi Sheng finally willing to cooperate, Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly intensified, then he asked, "Who in Blood Prison Mountain is close to Luo Fu Half-Saint on a regular basis?"

"After Senior Kong Yuan left Blood Prison Mountain, who was the first to jump out and slander him by accusing him of betraying the sect?"
