At this time, Cang Lin no longer wasted time searching. Since he couldn't get it, he wouldn't force it. Besides, there were more important things to do now.
He stumbled out of the inner room and leaned against the door frame, looking at the brother and sister who were still chatting animatedly.
"Brother, Sister Ying"
When the two saw Cang Lin’s pale face and shaky appearance, they were shocked and ran over quickly.
"Xiao Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Have Aze and the others come back?"
"I'm back"
Yuan Jun said as he helped Cang Lin sit down, Ying Mi quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it in Cang Lin's hand.
"When they came back, you were resting, so I asked them to go back first and call them when you woke up."
"Brother, please call them over."
There was no time to ask why, because Yuan Jun knew that all he had to do was trust Xiao Lin unconditionally.
After a while, Yuan Jun found the two of them.
Cang Lin sat on the chair, holding his forehead with one hand, and still gasping for breath.
"Hongwu, when were your wings cut? Was it today?"
Hongwu touched the bandage on his wound. Aze had tied it for him when he came back, and then he used some hemostatic medicine given by Kongqing. The medicine was very effective. Now there was no bleeding and it was not very painful.
"To be exact, it was last night," he recalled carefully.
"I was just about to take a break when Hall Master Zhao came over and said that the wings he had previously used up were no longer effective. It seemed like the Sect Master was at a critical juncture in his quest, so it would be great if I could replace them. I was so anxious at the time that I immediately cut them off and gave them to him."
"Is it reddish-brown?"
"How do you know?"
Cang Lin nodded. It seemed that what he saw Master Zhao holding just now was Hongwu’s volcano chicken wings.
"That's right, your wings are not with the master."
Hearing this, Hongwu was surprisingly calm, as if he had known the result for a long time, but he still couldn't help shedding tears.
This scene reminded Cang Lin of the time when Yuan Jun cried out of grievance because he was forgotten. Those tears were free. Do all fat people like to cry?
"I already guessed it. I went to the Rare Beast Bone Hall. They had never had their bones cut. And according to the entry rules, I shouldn't be assigned to the Legendary Beast Bone Hall."
Ying Mi immediately jumped over and said, "That proves that you were tricked into coming here. The reason your wings are useful must be that wicked and capable Master Zhao."
Apart from that wicked Zhao Man, I really don't know who else would do such a thing.
Cang Lin felt that things were not that simple.
"We just arrived. We were sent here by Mr. Lu from Jishi Pharmacy. We originally thought it was a connection, but now it seems there's a big problem."
"That's right," Yuan Jun also said, "If that's the case, then we didn't enter the Rare Beast Sect as disciples, but were sold to the Rare Beast Sect as goods."
He came in quietly without following the formal procedures, and checked in directly without any registration. It was too easy.
Aze said: "I entered through the main gate, and then the guard at the gate reported to the personnel elder, who took me to see the sect leader. The sect leader welcomed me very much and asked Hall Master Zhao to take good care of me."
"I didn't enter through the main gate," Hongwu said. "Sister Ningning rode her mount and brought me to the courtyard."
Hongwu's calm face finally showed some emotion. He said in disbelief, "Impossible! How could Sister Ningning sell me out?"
"That's it."
Cang Lin and others were sent here by Jishi Pharmacy, and Hongwu was sent here by someone close to him. Their purpose was nothing more than - to cut animal bones.
Thinking of this, everyone felt heavy-hearted.
"Aze, are you done with your work?"
Aze took a deep breath, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
"That's right, the mysterious magic beast powder is made from the powder of my beast bones and dragon horns."
"No wonder that Hall Master Zhao treats you so well. Besides the sect leader's instructions, this powder is also the reason," Yuan Jun said suddenly.
"But he's really brave. Isn't he afraid that the Sect Master will find out that Aze's horn is broken?"
"Under the temptation of high profits, anyone would take a risk. Do you know how many magic crystals I sold for a bag of dragon horn powder?"
Aze paused and said: "A high-density magic crystal stone"
There were gasps all around.
"Oh my god, there are so many. The price of this pack is enough for an average person to live for half a lifetime."
"That's right. If I wanted to be an ordinary person, I wouldn't have to worry about making a living. If I didn't have any magic crystals, I could just cut off a small piece of bone and sell it. I could live lavishly for a while. God would provide me with food. This is what many ordinary people dream of."
Aze smiled bitterly, his eyes a little moist, feeling that all these years were not worth it.
"But I wanted to be a demon, I wanted to be one so badly, and ended up being used by others. I really can't accept this."
"Zhao Man's secret vault contains countless treasures. He has amassed a lot of wealth over the past few years. But I have a feeling that he couldn't have done this so thoroughly on his own. There must be someone in cahoots with him."
Everyone agreed with Cang Lin's idea.
"We can't alert the enemy. We need to take a long-term approach. We can start with Zhao Man and slowly make them reveal their true intentions."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. It seemed that they were not facing an individual, but a powerful force. The pressure of disclosing this matter was unprecedentedly great.
Perhaps someone had already discovered this matter, but was unable to resist.
“We don’t know what to do or what lies ahead.”
Hongwu's dull voice came, with a feeling of confusion.
Cang Lin could only ask, "Hongwu, don't you want justice for your animal bones?"
"I think so, but if I mess with someone I shouldn't mess with, I'll lose my life. How can I become a demon?"
Cang Lin knew that no matter how deep something was, they couldn't touch it, and he didn't want to touch it either, because after all, his purpose was to find the blessing monster. He would explore it first and then decide what to do next.
"Hongwu, we just need to avoid being killed. As for who buys, who sells, and who will be punished, we have a long way to go."
"Exactly, Hongwu, do you still want to have your wings cut off for no reason? Isn't your dream to become a demon?"
Yuan Jun said this while pointing to his broken wings.
"Okay, although I don't know what's waiting for me ahead, I can't let my wings be cut off in vain."
"That's right, Senior Brother Hongwu. My horns can't be cut off in vain. Remember, we are going to become demons. How can we retreat just because of a little power?"
For a moment, Hongwu shook hands with Aze tightly as if he was injected with chicken blood.
"Now that we have reached a consensus, let's take the first step. The next thing is related to Hongwu."
At this time, Kong Qing and Ximen Xuanyu also walked in.
"Kids, what are you talking about? Can I help you?"
