“I’m curious. If you hadn’t caught me, how were you going to break through your bottleneck and become a cultivator master?”

Leng Guangting paused, frowned, and gave Lin Shen a strange look, wondering why Lin Shen was still in the mood to ask such an irrelevant question at a time like this.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t think of any way for Lin Shen to get through this hopeless situation.

After a few seconds of silence, Leng Guangting went on.

“I prepared a Pill Man, but now that I have a better one like you, there’s no need to use it anymore.”

“Is that so?” Lin Shen smiled slightly with a meaningful gaze.

Somehow, Leng Guangting felt uneasy.

He frowned and pondered for a moment but still couldn’t find the source of the anxiety, so he decided to stop thinking about it. He tossed Lin Shen into the cauldron, then reached out, grabbed the lid, and closed it with a thump.

The next second, flames erupted from under the cauldron, which rumbled slightly.

Leng Guangting clenched his fists in excitement.

He immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down and focused on what was going on in the cauldron.

As time went by, the shaking of the cauldron gradually subsided. However, the white smoke coming out of it didn’t decrease at all. Instead, it grew denser, and there was a faint yellow color in it.

Leng Guangting sniffed and realized that something wasn’t right. He immediately flipped the lid off and looked inside.

Instead of the Level 3 Blood Spirit Pills he had been thinking about day and night, he saw several black pills.

Failure pills!

Leng Guangting paled.

“What’s going on? There were no mistakes in the procedure or the materials. How could it fail?”

Leng Guangting murmured in disbelief.

Just then, a hubbub of noise came from outside, which was faintly mixed with shouting and what sounded like the buzzing of insects.

The noise grew louder, but Leng Guangting didn’t seem to hear it. He just stood there in a daze.

For some unknown reason, he had failed to refine the pill that he had put so much hope in. It was such a hard blow that he couldn’t accept it.

A moment later, the front door burst open, and Leng Xing rushed in, looking terrified.

“Father, a group of Hell Hornets suddenly rushed in from outside, followed by people from the Martial Enforcement Hall. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people, but they actually want to search our residence. How ridiculous!”

The words “Martial Enforcement Hall” seemed to have triggered a certain nerve in Leng Guangting. He slowly turned around and looked at Leng Xing.

“The Martial Enforcement Hall is here?”

“That’s right. They’re led by commanders and flag officers. I wonder what happened.”

Leng Xing didn’t notice his father’s strange behavior and was still complaining indignantly.

“We were clearly the victims of the spiritual beast attack, but they suspected that we were related to that group of Hell Hornets and insisted on searching our house. Right now, the steward is bringing people to stop the Martial Enforcement Hall. I reckon they won’t be able to stall for long. Father, you still have to go out to preside over the overall situation…”

As he spoke, Leng Xing finally sensed that something was wrong and looked at his adrift father in confusion.

“Father?”

Leng Guangting ignored his son, his expression bleak.

“In the end, I still have to do it.”

“Father, what’s wrong with you?” Leng Xing asked curiously.

Leng Guangting didn’t answer. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Leng Xing.

For some reason, that indifferent gaze made Leng Xing slightly panic, and a chill ran down his spine.

Outside the courtyard.

Seeing a large group of people from the Martial Enforcement Hall chase after the Hell Hornets into the courtyard, Lin Shen smiled.

As expected, because of the previous Wild Wolves stronghold in the Southern District, the Martial Enforcement Hall attached great importance to the appearance of Hell Hornets. They actually sent a large number of people over.

Lin Shen even recognized a few of them as the general flag officers of the four major districts.

They were all experts at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage.

With these people and hundreds of Martial Enforcement Hall members, Leng Guangting would definitely be finished.

“It’s a pity that a clone was sacrificed.”

Lin Shen shook his head.

In order not to alert Leng Guangting, he didn’t retract his clone. Instead, he let it disappear automatically after it died.

It was a pity that the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall came a little late. Otherwise, the death of the clone could be avoided.

Fortunately, he already planned to refresh the talent of the Perseverance clone. It didn’t matter if it was gone now.

He had to think of a good reason to explain his role in this matter.

Of course, it would be best if Leng Guangting died in battle. In that case, no one would know that he was involved.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Shen rushed out of the shadows and quietly approached the courtyard not far away.

The courtyard was already in chaos. No one noticed that an uninvited guest had barged in.

The journey to the courtyard was smooth and without accidents. Lin Shen happened to see the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall break through the guards of the courtyard and begin to search the surroundings.

Not long after, the Martial Enforcement Hall made a discovery.

“Sir, we found a secret door inside. It leads to a catacomb. It seems to be quite big!”

A flag officer reported to a burly middle-aged man in the lead.

Lin Shen recognized that the middle-aged man was the general flag officer of the Southern District. His name seemed to be Yuan Ming.

Hearing his subordinate’s report, Yuan Ming immediately waved his hand.

“Search it!

“There’s actually a catacomb in the residence of the academy’s tutor. Looks like we might be able to gain something this time!”

Yuan Ming chuckled and led the way in.

The other two general flag officers looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before following him.

There was something wrong with what happened tonight. That group of Hell Hornets seemed to have deliberately lured them over.

After discovering their arrival, the manager’s behavior was also very strange. He actually immediately gathered people to block them outside and refused to let them in no matter what.

Such an abnormal reaction immediately aroused the suspicion of the experienced general flag officers.

Others might be afraid of the tutors of the Nine Yang Academy, but they weren’t. Furthermore, Hall Master Xia had given a definite order. If they didn’t gain anything, they would definitely suffer when they returned. Therefore, the three of them decided to charge in.

They didn’t expect to find something.

Could Master Leng really have some unspeakable secret?

The group quickly arrived at the secret door and rushed in without stopping.

As soon as they entered, Lin Shen silently appeared behind them.

With the help of the Concealment Talisman, the Invisibility Talisman, and the Cloud Dragon Rhythm, no one noticed him along the way.

The general flag officers of the Martial Enforcement Hall were also focused on the catacomb and didn’t notice that there was an additional man behind them.

The catacomb was indeed large. It was at least two to three times larger than the courtyard on the ground.

Fortunately, the buildings in this area were far from each other. Otherwise, someone would have noticed that an outsider was among them long ago.

After circling around, the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall arrived at the room at the end of the catacomb.

The door was wide open, and dim light came from inside.

The three general flag officers looked at each other and paused for a moment. Then, they strode into the room.

In the dark hall, the flames below the cauldron had already been extinguished. Only a few pearls embedded in the ceiling emitted a dim light, making the surroundings look even more sinister.

Leng Guangting sat cross-legged beside the cauldron and stared at the pill in his hand with an inexplicable expression.

Even the arrival of the people from the Martial Enforcement Hall didn’t make him look away for a moment.

Yuan Ming, who was the leader, frowned and was about to step forward when he suddenly glanced at the pill in Leng Guangting’s hand. He was stunned.

The pill was completely red, smooth, and round like a superior-class ruby. It also emitted some kind of magical power, making people unwilling to look away after taking a look.

“That’s…”

Yuan Ming’s eyes widened as if he suddenly thought of something. He took a deep breath and indeed, he realized that there was a strange sweet smell in the air.

Yuan Ming was no stranger to this smell. His expression changed as he looked at Leng Guangting in shock.

“A Blood Spirit Pill!

“Leng Guangting, you’ve really colluded with the Wild Wolves!”
