Chapter 677 What is the Secret Treasure?

Golden light flashed from Yun Qingqing's fingertips, and she drew a talisman in the air.

The talisman turned into eight streams of light and sank into the eight evil weapons respectively.

"Show!"

Following her light shout, the eight objects began to vibrate violently at the same time.

Fine blood-colored lines appeared on the jade paperweight, cracks appeared on the pen holder of the bone-carved brush, and dark red liquid oozed from the inner wall of the copper bell. . .

"This, this is..." Lin Xiuzhu's voice trembled.

Feng Yin's pupils shrank severely:

"These... are all evil weapons made from the bones of babies! They are absolutely unscrupulous!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience gasped.

Every artifact revealed its hideous truth before everyone's eyes——

The paperweight is embedded with baby's finger bones, the writing brush is actually made of leg bones, and the copper bell contains tiny teeth... Eight evil tools, each exuding evil.

The temperature in the hall dropped suddenly, as if even the air had frozen.

Yun Qingqing's eyes were as gloomy as the dark night.

When she interrogated Wen Youde's soul before, she learned that Qingfengzi used a set of infant bones to refine seven evil weapons.

Hairpin, skull, fortune-stealing mirror, umbrella, flute... She has collected five of them.

But when she later seized the infant bone flag and conducted a brief investigation, she discovered that another set of infant bones was used.

And these eight items in front of me...each one comes from a different baby!

Behind each incident is a young soul whose life was taken away.

Behind these eight evil weapons, at least eight innocent babies were refined alive!

Elder Tianshu's face turned pale: "These beasts from Honghuang Palace..."

Feng Yin clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms.

Everyone present was terrified and their eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Ping.

The eight disciples who had betrayed the sect were terrified and begged for mercy in fear.

"Grandmaster, please understand! I really didn't know that this was an evil thing made from infant bones!"

"If I knew this magic weapon was actually... I would never dare to agree to the request of that villain Jiang Ping!"

"I was indeed possessed by a ghost for a moment, but I definitely did not intend to harm anyone. Grandmaster, please spare my life!"

The eight disciples turned pale and collapsed to the ground, shaking like sieves.

At this moment, Jiang Ping, who had been in a state of dismay, suddenly laughed sinisterly. His face began to twist and swell, and his voice became sharp and crazy.

"Lord God, the believers are coming!!!"

"Not good!" Feng Yin exclaimed, "He's going to self-destruct!"

Everyone present was in a panic again, and some disciples even started rushing out the door.

However, as soon as the blood-red light appeared on Jiang Ping's body, he was tightly entangled by twelve golden chains that suddenly appeared.

Those chains were engraved with soul-calming runes, which sealed his acupoints tightly.

"What..." Jiang Ping was stunned, and panic appeared on his face, "No! How could this happen... When was this restriction placed?"

Yun Qingqing's face was cold:

"Of course, I sealed your Qi Hai acupoint from the very beginning when I set up the formation!"

She knew very well the character of these running dogs of Honghuang Palace. How could they give him the chance to self-destruct?

Jiang Ping collapsed to the ground, looking ashen.

Yun Qingqing turned to the Seven Stars Hall disciples and said:

"Take him away, seal his seven orifices, and wait for me to interrogate him personally."

Jiang Ping was tied up tightly like a dumpling and dragged out.

Yun Qingqing then looked at the eight traitors, her eyes becoming even colder:

"Although you didn't know about the Infant Bone Evil Weapon, you betrayed your master for a little profit and almost caused a disaster. Your crime is unforgivable!"

She raised her hand and waved it, and eight golden lights pierced into the traitors' qi sea like sharp arrows.

Several people screamed in agony, and the spiritual energy in their bodies dissipated like a deflated ball.

Yun Qingqing's voice was icy cold:

"I now sentence you to abandon your cultivation and expel you from the sect. Take care of yourself from now on!"

The eight people looked ashen and were dragged out by the law enforcement disciples.

The matter was settled and the bystanders dispersed.

The only people left in the hall were Yun Qingqing, Elder Tianshu, Feng Yin, and a few core disciples of Tianyi Sect led by Lin Xiuzhu.

Yun Qingqing lightly tapped the eight suspended evil weapons with her fingertips. Every time she tapped one, a line of blood extended from the weapon.

"The jade paperweight is located in the ancient well in the back mountain."

"The Bone Pen is sealed in the northeast corner of the library."

"The bronze bell hangs on the seventh eaves corner of the main hall."

…

As she pointed out one by one, eight blood lines intertwined in the air, and finally converged into a dazzling red line, pointing directly to the back of the hall - and landed on a palace on the main peak.

"That's... a forbidden area!" Lin Xiuzhu exclaimed, "Their target is the secret treasure in the forbidden area!"

Yun Qingqing frowned slightly:

"What exactly do you mean by the secret treasure?"

Before she died, Tianyi Sect was still the top sect in the Xuanmen Sect, and its strength and resources were naturally top-notch.

With the foundation of that time, even if some high-level magical instruments were passed down, they could keep the sect prosperous in this era.

So she didn't understand, if there really was such a "secret treasure" passed down, how could the sect have become so bleak today.

Lin Xiuzhu naturally had no intention of hiding anything from Yun Qingqing. He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly:

"Reporting to the ancestor, the so-called secret treasure is just to conceal the truth. After all, the sect is not strong now, and this is also to protect the trump card from being coveted by outsiders..."

He paused, his voice unconsciously lowered:

"In fact...the 'secret treasure' in the forbidden area belongs to our current leader!"

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Yun Qingqing looked surprised; this answer was indeed beyond her expectations.

Feng Yin was the first to lose his temper and asked:

"Wait a minute, are you saying that the secret treasure you mentioned is actually a person? This person is also your sect leader? Then... in this case, his strength should not be weak, right? Why doesn't he lead the sect to flourish, but hides instead?"

Lin Xiuzhu's expression was somewhat complicated, and he seemed a little embarrassed, and whispered:

"I don't know these things. When I joined the sect, the sect master had been in seclusion for many years. I also heard some of his stories from my senior brother who introduced me to the sect. I only know that the sect master was in seclusion in a forbidden area and no one was allowed to disturb him."

"Also, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked to anyone..."

When Lin Xiuzhu said this, his face froze for a moment, and he suddenly realized:

"But... the ghost cultivators appeared, and their target was the forbidden area... was it because the news leaked out?"

Yun Qingqing knew what he was worried about and said:

"Don't worry. Jiang Ping was able to accurately target the forbidden area because he sent his evil spirits to take over Zhou Ming's body and obtained this information from his memory. It's not because there are still traitors in the sect who have not been sorted out."

Only then did Lin Xiuzhu breathe a sigh of relief.

Yun Qingqing stood up and said:

"Let's go. I want to go take a look at the forbidden area."

Lin Xiuzhu had already expected that she would have this request, so he did not dare to be negligent and immediately walked in front to lead the way.

Soon, the group arrived at the forbidden area of the main peak, which was a palace.

Lin Xiuzhu stopped, turned around and said:

"Disciples like us and outsiders are not allowed to enter. I am waiting for the Grandmaster here."

Yun Qingqing nodded and strode into the palace gate.
