Chapter 110
Yu Lanlan has a good memory. The first time she met Yuan Cheng was the first time she went on a live broadcast after traveling through time. After it ended, she saw Yuan Cheng’s video explanation.
Yuan Cheng showed up at the beginning, but he did not use his own name. His account name was this string of numbers!
After figuring it out, Yu Lanlan quickly began looking for the video.
Soon, she found it.
Yuan Yixin and Yuan Yu knew that she had found a clue, and hurried over to watch.
But after seeing this video, Yuan Yu's face was shocked and angry.
"This kid! I clearly told him not to post anything related to metaphysics online, but he still did it behind my back!"
Yuan Yu was almost mad at his naughty behavior.
The most important thing is that this video was obviously shot by Yuan Cheng at his residence outside. What's even more coincidental is that the place where Yuan Yixin sent him to rescue his benefactor's son was very close to that house!
Since Yu Lanlan calculated that Yuan Cheng’s location was related to this video, perhaps Yuan Cheng’s accident happened in this house!
"Walk!"
Yuan Yixin made a prompt decision and asked his men to stay on guard and not go out easily. Then he drove with Yu Lanlan and Yuan Yu to the location of the house in the video.
After arriving at the house, Yuan Yu, based on his understanding of Yuan Cheng, concluded that he had indeed been there within a few days.
Moreover, the house was filled with a strange smell.
Yu Lanlan looked around with a serious face, then took out a compass and cast a spell to guide the breath into the compass for tracking.
But the compass needle was shaking all over and couldn't stabilize at all.
"The secret has been concealed. It certainly seems like it was done by the Tianzhou sect."
The timing was too coincidental. Ou Zhongling had just come out of confinement when something happened to Yuan Cheng. It was impossible for Yu Lanlan not to suspect him.
After hearing this, Yuan Yixin and Yuan Yu's faces darkened.
Judging from the attitude of the Tianzhou faction towards the Digan sect in recent years, if Yuan Cheng fell into their hands, he would either die or suffer untold hardships.
"This kid..." Yuan Yixin's eyes were filled with heartache and hesitation. He was hesitant because the people from the Tianzhou sect might torture Yuan Cheng severely, and he didn't know whether Yuan Cheng would reveal the information about the sect.
This is something he has to consider as the leader of the Digan Sect.
Yuan Yu naturally understood her master's considerations, but she trusted her younger brother very much.
"Although Yuan Cheng is a little unreliable in his daily work, he won't make mistakes on such an important matter!"
Yu Lanlan was a little confused. "Since the Tianzhou sect has captured him, could it be that they have already figured out everything?"
Yuan Yixin quickly resolved her doubts.
"Although we were nearly driven to despair by the Tianzhou Sect, since our Digan Sect has managed to survive, we still have some means of survival. We, the elders, have placed confinement arrays around the consciousness and bodies of every disciple. Unless they are forced to reveal it in person, their captors will have no way of determining it."
Yu Lanlan changed her mind and asked, "Is the Heavenly Eye not possible?"
"What?!" Yuan Yixin was shocked.
"Do you know who has cultivated the Heavenly Eye?!"
"Ou Zhongling."
Yuan Yixin and Yuan Yu were both shocked by the news.
Yu Lanlan turned around and looked at the traces left by Yuan Cheng in the room. Finally, she pinched her fingers to open her third eye and check where Yuan Cheng was.
Just as she expected, Yuan Cheng's existence was kept secret.
"It seems that I can only go to Tianzhou Sect."
Yuan Yixin and Yuan Yu subconsciously objected when they heard this, "If we take the initiative to come to their house, won't we be walking into a trap?"
Yu Lanlan's next words made them half-believing and half-doubting.
"Ou Zhongling is not looking for you, but me."
"How do you say that?"
"If Ou Zhongling was looking for you, after capturing Yuan Cheng, he would have already detected your presence with his Sky Eye. How could you still stay here safely? Therefore, his target is me."
Since the incident was caused by her, she naturally had to rescue Yuan Cheng!
She even had a guess that perhaps when the Tianzhou faction captured Yuan Cheng, they had no idea that he was a member of the Digan Sect, and Ou Zhongling just wanted to lure her into the trap.
Moreover, putting Ou Zhongling in his shoes, after catching Yuan Cheng, he would definitely use Yuan Cheng to investigate things about her immediately, but the system had already covered up everything for her, so Ou Zhongling would run into an obstacle.
Assuming that Ou Zhongling still had doubts about Yuan Cheng, and perhaps even used the Sky Eye to investigate his life, the Di Gan Sect should have been exposed long ago and be besieged by the Tianzhou faction.
Since the Digan Sect is still safe and sound, it means that Ou Zhongling has not detected Yuan Cheng's identity.
Does Ou Zhongling not want to investigate?
No, perhaps he didn't want to waste the opportunity to use the third eye.
Yu Lanlan roughly understood the limitations of Ou Zhongling's cultivated Heavenly Eye. Although his Heavenly Eye had an additional function of concealing the secrets of the heavens, its detection frequency or number of times was inevitably greatly limited!
This is good news for her.
-
It was decided that Yu Lanlan would go to attack the Tianzhou Sect.
Yuan Yu was worried about his unlucky brother, so he planned to go with Yu Lanlan despite the risk of being exposed.
However, before going to Tianzhou Sect, there is still some preparation to be done.
The three of them returned to Diganmen. In Yuan Cheng's room, Yuan Yixin planned to tell them about the Tianzhou Sect so that they could know each other better.
Thus, Yu Lanlan finally learned more about the origins of the Tianzhou School and the Digan School.
Just as Yuan Cheng had said to Yu Lanlan, the Tianzhou Sect and the Digan Sect did indeed have the same origin, as the two sects were founded by a pair of brothers.
At the beginning, the relationship between the two sects was relatively good. They supported each other and faced the outside world together. The rules of the two sects were also the same - no bullying of teachers and ancestors, no reckless attack on mortals, no unjust deeds, no taking ill-gotten gains, and moral behavior was the first priority.
However, after the two founders of the sect passed away, several generations later, the original leader of the Tianzhou sect suddenly died, and the position of leader was taken away by an unknown disciple. The Digan sect wanted to find out what happened in the middle, but the disciple who suddenly inherited the position of leader of the Tianzhou sect directly expelled the Digan sect on the grounds that they were outsiders.
From then on, the relationship between the two sects became worse.
It was not until the reign of Yuan Yixin's predecessor that the Tianzhou Sect suddenly launched an attack on the Digan Sect, leading the sects that respected it in the metaphysical world to wipe out the Digan Sect.
Since then, the Digan Sect has left the world of metaphysics and has been hiding from people. Even now, when they go out, they still keep their identities secret and dare not reveal anything.
After hearing what happened, Yu Lanlan also noticed the subtleties in it.
"Master Yuan, may I ask if, before this, the Digan Sect had been secretly investigating the disciple who seized the position of master, as well as the cause of death of the Tianzhou Sect's master?"
Yuan Yixin's expression paused for a moment, and the meaning behind it became obvious.
Yu Lanlan continued, "I think that before the Digan Sect was hunted down, they must have discovered the secrets of the Tianzhou Sect?"
Seeing Yu Lanlan being so perceptive, Yuan Yixin could only sigh helplessly.
"I cannot reveal this secret. I swore an oath to the previous head that I would reveal this secret to my successor only before my death. The fewer people who know about this, the safer our disciples will be."
However, Yu Lanlan's subsequent speculation shocked Yuan Yiqin and he was at a loss.
"Is this secret related to possession?"
"How do you know?!!"
This time, Yu Lanlan no longer held back and told the reasons why Ou Mingjue, Wei Chi and others launched a siege against her.
"They suspected that I was a body snatcher and wanted to eliminate me before the Heavenly Dao got angry to prevent future troubles."
"Ou Mingjue once contacted me alone with An Qiqing from the Yuji Sect. I tested her and found that her reaction to the possession was a bit strange, so I became suspicious. It seems that my suspicion was correct."
Yuan Yixin turned to look at Yuan Yu and found that she was in shock after knowing the truth.
He sighed deeply again.
Yu Lanlan continued to ask: "Since this is the case, I just want to ask one more question."
Yuan Yixin: "You say."
"Is Ou Zhongling now a body snatcher?"
In fact, when Yu Lanlan discovered that the Tianzhou Sect chose to capture Yuan Cheng instead of Sister Hua and the others, she felt that the possibility of Ou Zhongling being a body-stealer was relatively small. Although both were to capture people, the backlash caused by the metaphysical masters against ordinary people was more severe. Conversely, the body-stealers were not afraid of backlash, so it was easier for them to capture ordinary people.
Yuan Yixin's answer also indirectly verified Yu Lanlan's guess.
"I'm not sure about that, but according to what the previous sect leader told us, our Digan Sect disciples have discovered that all the previous sect leaders of the Tianzhou Sect have been researching methods of possessing other people's bodies."
"They want to freely use mystical arts to surpass ordinary people, but they also want to break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, they want to research a method that can not only take over the body of the possessed person, but also avoid being punished by the Heavenly Dao and disappearing after the body dies."
At this point, how could Yu Lanlan still not understand?
"Oh, what method are you talking about? Choosing someone with great luck or great virtue as the person to possess someone's body. As long as you gain their luck or virtue, even if they die, you can conceal the secret and allow them to possess the next person or be reborn safely. No wonder Ou Mingjue targeted Yifeng."
This was to help her grandfather keep an eye on the person he was possessing. It really confirmed her previous suspicions!
Yuan Yu also suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Ou Zhongling has set his sights on Yifeng's destiny and wants to take over his body!"
"But...the Son of Fortune is immune to mystical arts. How is Ou Zhongling going to seize Yi Feng's body?"
Yu Lanlan's eyes were icy. "It seems this is the problem they are studying."
People with great merits are rare in the world. Even if there are such people, they are hidden in the crowd and cannot be distinguished. The Son of Fortune can see them, but he is immune to the mysterious arts.
However, according to what the system said, this world eventually collapsed, which proved that Ou Zhongling had really figured it out!
As for why it failed and caused the world to collapse, there must be something else that happened, and it should be related to Yifeng.
Yu Lanlan seemed to be lost in thought.
Yuan Yu, however, felt extremely uncomfortable. "Since we already knew that the Tianzhou sect was researching this, why didn't we announce it to the metaphysical community? Instead, we were being hunted down by the Tianzhou sect like a stray dog?!"
Yuan Yixin shook his head.
"Although our disciples investigated the truth, we didn't have any evidence. At that time, the Tianzhou Sect had already rallied all the other sects and formed a united front. Unless we produced concrete evidence, we would be powerless against them."
He raised his head and looked directly at Yu Lanlan. "So the crisis we're facing now might not only come from the Tianzhou Sect, but also from other sects affiliated with the Tianzhou Sect..."
Yu Lanlan also understood this truth.
"The best way is to dismantle their alliance."
But how should it be dismantled?
Yu Lanlan pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She thought of a tiny detail.
The corners of her mouth curled up. "The way to disintegrate their alliance is, of course, to form a new alliance."
"I may have found a way."
