Chapter 268 The Curtain Rises
"Go back? Fei Tong will poison me to death!" Fei Han shuddered and raised his voice in disbelief, but lost his confidence and shut up under Luo Xuanyi's silent gaze.
The black disc was turned and put away in Luo Xuanyi's hand. She pointed her finger and the death energy immediately rolled up Li Zhiyan and rolled him back and forth on the ground. After Li Zhiyan's gorgeous robe was stained with dust and grass debris, she gave him another blow to the neck before letting him go.
Luo Xuanyi really felt that Fei Han hadn't used his brain. If he was going to escape after catching Xumu, why did she ask Fei Han to bring Li Zhiyan? He even specifically instructed her to be knocked unconscious before Li Zhiyan saw her.
"If you escape now, you'll truly be exonerating Fei Tong." Luo Xuanyi sighed, "Think carefully about what Li Zhiyan will think of the things I asked you to do."
How else could it be? Fei Han folded his arms and recalled how, following Luo Xuanyi's instructions, he had first proposed leaving immediately and rejected the idea of killing the entire town... He hesitated and replied, "Don't care if he lives or dies? Oh no, I still have a conscience."
“But I was eventually convinced.”
It seems that it is not too stupid. Luo Xuanyi began to draw the sound transmission talisman and nonchalantly answered Fei Han: "That's enough."
"Coming to Guhu Town was a mission Fei Tong gave you privately, right? Before this, you didn't know exactly what you were supposed to do."
"The magical weapon was also obtained by Fei Tong from Duke Yu and then given to you. You have not had direct contact with Zang Yaozong or Duke Yu."
"You've been in town for so long, and you should have spread the disease, but only a few people have fallen ill. Although it was because Ma Xinghua quickly isolated the sick, it's true that there hadn't been a large-scale outbreak in Guhu Town before."
That's because I'm lazy. No matter how we control the disease, it can't be completely stopped. It just takes a little longer to spread. Fei Han thought to himself, but didn't dare to interrupt Luo Xuanyi.
"After being captured by the demon cultivator Shen Ranming and escaping, you planned to leave Guhu Town directly, and did not think of exterminating Guhu Town to continue capturing Xumu."
Having said this, Luo Xuanyi's tone gradually turned sad, as if her next words were spoken from the heart.
"You witnessed the destruction of Guhu Town. It was a tragic scene you had never imagined."
"You just wanted to repay Fei Tong's kindness to you, even if it meant getting your hands dirty...but too many people died in Guhu Town."
As he listened to her mournful tone, Fei Han recalled the scene of her weeping and wailing. Even the beasts of another species were wailing, and anyone with a conscience would be moved.
"You took the magical instrument, Kind Heart, and you were torn between whether to pretend to be deaf and dumb for Fei Tong, who treated you like a son, or to report Fei Tong's actions to the Six Great Alliances for the greater good..."
Fei Han clenched his fists with great tact, seemingly torn between the two, just as Luo Xuanyi had described. He walked over to Li Zhiyan's side, raised his head, and spoke in a high voice, "But in the end, I chose justice! I, Fei Han, am a cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, not a lackey of these villains!"
Luo Xuanyi paused, then reluctantly nodded, "So you decided to hand Xumu over to the six major alliances and found an excuse to leave the convoy, but Li Zhiyan pestered you and you had to take him with you."
"But unexpectedly, you were caught up by Shen Ranming. You risked your life to help Li Zhiyan escape, but Shen Ranming took Xumu away. In desperation, you had no choice but to take Xumu to the nearest Longlan City and report the incident."
Luo Xuanyi flipped her palm and stretched it out towards Fei Han: “So, you still need to get hurt.”
Hearing about the injury, Fei Han, who was immersed in Luo Xuanyi's story, suddenly woke up. He took two steps back and shook his hands vigorously: "Wait, what exactly does Li Zhiyan do?"
"Search the soul." Fei Han was taking too long, and Luo Xuanyi was getting impatient. She clenched her hand, shifting it from open to closed, and pulled downward. Unconsciously, the deathly aura surrounding Fei Han suddenly tightened, forcibly separating his clothes and slicing into his flesh.
“Ouch!”
Luo Xuanyi carefully controlled the depth of the death energy's cutting, causing the wounds on Fei Han to appear at different angles, and then fiercely cut a deep scar on his back, deep enough to see the bone. This time, the blow was real, and Fei Han's deliberately funny voice was swallowed hard, and blood stained his back.
Luo Xuanyi nodded in satisfaction. Silence finally fell. For a cultivator, any wound that didn't damage the dantian was merely a flesh wound. As long as they still had spiritual energy, they wouldn't die.
"With the cultivators of Guhu Town reporting the deaths of all the townspeople, Li Zhiyan's soul will undoubtedly be searched. With what he saw and heard as supporting evidence, if you were to make the above remarks, the six major alliances would undoubtedly be in an uproar."
Beads of sweat rolled down his temples. Fei Han struggled to control his spiritual energy to stop the blood from flowing from his wound. He asked weakly, "What if my soul is searched? Master Ding Jing in Longlan City is known for his hatred of evil. My hands are stained with blood, so even if I die from a soul search, the six major alliances will allow it."
"No, you will not be soul-searched."
Luo Xuanyi smiled slightly, and a sound transmission note flew out from her fingertips, turning into a golden light and disappearing into the northern sky.
"Because Ding Jing Zhenren obeys my orders."
Fei Han opened his eyes wide, not even caring about the pain for a moment.
First it was his master Fei Tong, then Duke Yu. Rumors also said that there were several monks in the alliance colluding with the Paper Art Sect. However, none of this news was as shocking to Fei Han as the fact that a real person named Ding Jing obeyed the orders of the demon cultivator in front of him.
True Man Ding Jing was already renowned throughout the six alliances. His Eight Meridians Sword Controlling Technique was even known as the Sword of Righteousness. Recently, True Man Ding Jing single-handedly defeated a demonic Buddha and protected a city, earning him admiration from the cultivators of the six alliances.
When rumors spread about Cankunzi, the leader of the Exorcist Sword Sect, Ding Jing Zhenren was almost considered the next leader. As long as he broke through to the Refining Void Stage, this would be a sure thing.
Such a cultivator actually colluded with the devil?
Fei Han seemed to see a huge tree, flourishing on the outside but rotten within. If someone were to split open the trunk and expose the decay, how many people would be caught in this vortex...
Cold sweat broke out in Fei Han's heart, and the resentment caused by his injury dissipated. He bowed his head deeply towards Luo Xuanyi, and actually began to feel fortunate to have been accepted into Luo Xuanyi's employ.
"Then I will cooperate with Master Ding Jing. I understand."
Luo Xuanyi shook her head: "It's not cooperation, but he's 'inducing' you."
The sound of the gentle fall was soft and calm, but in Fei Han's ears, it contained murderous intent.
"Master Ding Jing doesn't know that you've also submitted to me. Besides exposing Fei Tong, the most important thing for you is to wait for the right opportunity."
"Wait...what?"
"Wait for the opportunity to expose Master Ding Jing's collusion with the evil cultivators." Luo Xuanyi replied with a smile.
