Chapter 852: Chapter 850 There Is a Mole in the High Ranks of the Miracle Ridge!

Lin Bai recounted to Lu Qingyu the fierce battle with the Five Poison Sect’s branch in the Elixir King City.

Lu Qingyu slammed the table and stood up on the spot, enraged.

"There’s actually something like this? Is the Five Poison Sect really trying to make a comeback?" Lu Qingyu said in utter shock.

Lin Bai said indifferently, "I believe the current strength of the Five Poison Sect is not weak at all; they are fully capable of dominating most powers in Lingdong."

"If the Five Poison Sect can rise from the ashes right under the nose of the Miracle Ridge, then there must be a high-level traitor within the senior ranks of the Miracle Ridge!"

"Or perhaps someone whom Miracle Ridge has placed in power in Lingdong has already defected to the Five Poison Sect!"

"Otherwise, how could the Five Poison Sect suddenly emerge with such formidable strength."

"In Elixir King City, what we saw was just one branch hall of the Five Poison Sect’s Scorpio Branch, yet they could easily muster several thousand warriors of the Human Elixir Realm First Layer. This is not something that can be cultivated casually!"

Lin Bai said to Lu Qingyu in a calm tone.

Lu Qingyu nodded and said, "What you mean is that... there’s someone in the upper echelons of the Miracle Ridge who’s secretly assisting the Five Poison Sect?"

Lin Bai smiled, "It’s just a guess of mine."

Lu Qingyu laughed, "Then who do you think this person might be?"

Lin Bai smiled, "If such a person exists, then he must hold a high position on the Miracle Ridge and be privy to all the covert forces that Miracle Ridge has placed in Lingdong."

"At the same time, he would have the authority to come and go from the Miracle Ridge at any moment!"

"Moreover, this person’s cultivation must be extremely high, at least of the Dean or vice-Dean level."

Humming—

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s speculation, Lu Qingyu’s eyes instantly darkened.

"Investigating someone at the vice-Dean level is no easy task!"

"If I wanted to investigate a high-ranking Elder from a monastery, I could just give the Dean a heads-up and conduct a thorough investigation."

"But to take action against a vice-Dean, you would need the approval of the Supreme Master of the Nine Academies! That is the consent of Senior Zhao Longtu, to proceed with investigating the vice-Dean!"

Lu Qingyu muttered while shaking his head, "If the traitor really is someone at the vice-Dean level, then it would be very difficult to unearth them."

Lin Bai smiled, "It’s just a simple guess. I suspect there must be someone from the Five Poison Sect within the upper echelons of the Miracle Ridge! Otherwise, how could the Miracle Ridge not have received any news whatsoever as the Five Poison Sect has been developing in the shadows to the point of nearly making a resurgence?"

Lu Qingyu nodded, "Indeed, twenty years ago, when Lin Duo destroyed the Five Poison Sect, the Miracle Ridge took direct control over the situation in Lingdong, and they were the first to know of any changes there!"

"Given that a single branch of one branch hall of the Five Poison Sect has such strength, I believe the Five Poison Sect must be ready to reappear Under Heaven!"

"And yet, the Miracle Ridge seems blind, receiving not the slightest whisper of news from Lingdong!"

"It’s too abnormal!"

Lu Qingyu was also lost in thought as he contemplated this.

Lin Bai and Lu Qingyu chatted idly for a while here.

Just at that time, Lin Bai saw a shadow of a person in the bamboo, briskly walking in.

"Senior Brother Qiu Yukui, Senior Brother Qiu Yukui, Senior Sister said she won’t see any guests for this half month."

A female disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard was stopping Qiu Yukui.

But Qiu Yukui ignored her, pushing straight through.

As he forced his way in, he added, "I can understand not seeing new guests, but it’s unreasonable not to see me. After all, I have been friends with Qing’er for many years. Since she’s injured, it’s only right for me to visit her!"

"Out of my way, or I won’t be polite!"

Qiu Yukui said angrily.

Seeing Qiu Yukui come in, Lin Bai said to Lu Qingyu, "Senior Lu Qingyu, please sit here for a moment. I will deal with Qiu Yukui and be right back."

Lu Qingyu nodded lightly.

Lin Bai stepped out of the bamboo house and headed straight into the Purple Bamboo Grove.

"It’s you!"

Upon seeing Lin Bai approaching, Qiu Yukui’s eyes filled with hostility as he watched him.

Lin Bai spoke indifferently, "Miss Gu Yueqing is currently healing and is not in a position to receive guests. Moreover, since this is her boudoir, it’s not appropriate to have a man stay here. Qiu Yukui, you should leave."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yukui became furious and said, "How did Qing’er get injured!"

"And if you’re saying it’s inconvenient to have a man here, why are you still here?"

Lin Bai laughed, "I was invited by Miss Gu Yueqing, weren’t I? Did you receive an invitation? Did Miss Gu Yueqing invite you to be a guest in her boudoir?"

"If not, then get out of here!"

Lin Bai said with some annoyance.

I spoke to you nicely, but you wouldn’t listen.

You only feel comfortable after being cursed at.

When a man stoops too low, he is invincible!

Fury!

When he heard this from Lin Bai, Qiu Yukui’s heart blazed with fury.

Indeed, Gu Yueqing had never invited him to be a guest in her boudoir.

In other words, Lin Bai was the first man to visit Gu Yueqing’s boudoir, and he had stayed for an entire month!

With a man and a woman alone together, God knows what could happen!

Angrily glaring at Lin Bai, Qiu Yukui said, "Boy, do you believe I could remove your head in the blink of an eye right now!"

Qiu Yukui stared at Lin Bai as a terrifying power rose within him.

This power erupted forth, directly pushing away the female disciple from the Dan Dao Courtyard.

And a murderous intent flowed from Qiu Yukui.

"Qiu Yukui, this place belongs to the Dan Dao Courtyard, not a playground for your unruliness!"

"If you want to cause trouble, then go back to the Knife Dao Sect!"

Just at that moment, from the depths of the Purple Bamboo Grove came a force even more terrifying, like the power of a Divine Dragon swirling forth, directly overwhelming Qiu Yukui.

Filled with shock and horror, Qiu Yukui turned his gaze toward the depths of the Purple Bamboo Grove and exclaimed, "Senior Lu Qingyu!"

Lin Bai laughed, "See? I may not be able to beat you, but there are those who can."

"Qiu Yukui, I advise you not to persist in this foolishness. Senior Lu Qingyu is quite irritable today. Should you provoke him, I’m afraid the Purple Bamboo Grove will become your burial ground."

Lin Bai laughed mockingly.

Qiu Yukui, staring at Lin Bai, gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, Lin Bai, you are tough!"

"Don’t forget, we have our agreed time in half a month!"

"If after half a month, Qing’er hasn’t produced the Human Emperor Elixir, and all this turns out to be your bluff, I will surely cut you into nine pieces in front of all the experts on the Miracle Ridge at the Arena of the Dan Dao Courtyard!"

Lin Bai laughed carelessly, "Don’t worry. Just a mere Human Emperor Elixir; what’s so difficult about that? You better prepare to kneel and beg to be my disciple instead."

"Hmph!"

Qiu Yukui snorted coldly and turned on his heel to leave!

Only then did Lin Bai return to the Purple Bamboo Grove.

Lu Qingyu said, "Just now Qiu Yukui mentioned the Human Emperor Elixir, are you truly confident about teaching Qing’er to master the art of its concoction?"

Lin Bai chuckled, "What’s so hard about that? Working together with Miss Gu Yueqing, we can concoct King-Level Elixirs, let alone the mere Human Emperor Elixir."

Hissss—

Hearing Lin Bai’s words brimming with confidence, Lu Qingyu showed a face full of joy.

That might have been the only piece of good news Lu Qingyu had heard all day.
