Chapter 164: Burning the Sutra Library
There is indeed a formation covering this place, and only some of the books can be seen. One needs to undergo identity recognition before being able to see the items in the hidden space.
Zhong Ling'er took out the super-huge spirit beast bag, threw it to Qi Haoran and asked him to put the books in it, while she tried to break the restriction.
When all the books on display were looted, Zhong Ling'er took out two jade tablets and input two breaths of air. Afterwards, the world in front of her and Qi Haoran suddenly became more open, and rows of full bookshelves appeared in front of them.
The two clapped their hands at each other, cheered a little, and then began a crazy pretending mode.
After clearing out the fifth floor, the two went up to the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors and happily loaded down. Zhong Ling'er was really glad that she had refined this super large spirit beast bag. It was so useful and it was a foresight that deserved a thumbs up.
But when it comes to the ninth floor, the jade token is no longer useful, and there are new restrictions that need to be unlocked.
The sky was already glowing white, and if they didn't leave now it would be dawn soon. Zhong Ling'er became angry. The ninth floor was guarded so closely, there must be good stuff there. How could she give it up? How could she sleep well if she didn't take it away!
Zhong Ling'er sat there writing and calculating without saying a word. Finally, at the moment the sun jumped out of the horizon, she lifted the ban.
The two men went in without caring about anything else and quickly packed everything they saw without even looking at what was in the big boxes. They threw everything directly into the spirit beast bags. After packing, they ran out in a hurry, sprinkling spirit fire talismans in the corners as they ran. Finally, at the moment when the sky was completely bright, the two men ran out of Tianji Academy.
After taking off her black robe, Zhong Ling'er pulled Qi Haoran back to the inn, where they were blocked by Bai Luochen who was waiting for them at the door.
"Hey, good morning, Second Brother!"
"Not early, at least not as early as my little sister and fifth brother."
Knowing that Second Brother would have a difficult time, the two men immediately stepped forward, pulled him into the house, and explained clearly what had happened that night.
Bai Luochen's eyes darkened, and he tapped the table with his fingers. "Tianji Pavilion has indeed done a lot of shady things. They controlled the battlefield of Shensun for their own selfish interests. This matter cannot be let go like this. But we have no evidence, and Tianji Pavilion is so powerful and deeply rooted that it will be difficult to shake it."
"Second Brother, you are really amazing. You are already considering shaking up the Tianji Pavilion. I am still thinking about how to save the eldest brother. I admire your courage!"
Zhong Ling'er immediately flattered him, and Bai Luochen tapped her on the forehead, "No matter how nicely you speak, it can't cover up the fact that you secretly did bad things."
Zhong Ling'er rolled her eyes and changed the subject, "Second Brother, in fact, some things do not necessarily require evidence. The power of public opinion is very strong. No matter how powerful the Tianji Pavilion is, do they dare to be an enemy of the entire cultivation world?"
Zhong Ling'er took out a pen and paper and began to explain her plan to the two of them while writing down the entire plan.
When he had almost finished speaking, there was a noise outside. The tallest building in Tianhua City, the Sutra Library, was seen with flames shooting up into the sky and thick smoke billowing, attracting countless people to watch.
Zhenren Tianming was so angry that his hair stood on end. He was suspended in the air with his hands raised. A large water ball formed between his palms. As he swung his hands down, the water ball burst and fell onto the tower like water from the sky. The fire was extinguished instantly, leaving only billowing smoke.
"Alas, it went out so quickly!" Qi Haoran lamented.
"Fortunately, Master Tianming is here, otherwise so many books would have been burned. What a pity!" Zhong Ling'er winked at the fifth senior brother, urging him to be careful with his words and beware of eavesdropping.
Bai Luochen held one in each hand and said, "Let's go see if they need our help."
Zhong Ling'er smiled at Bai Luochen. It had to be Second Senior Brother who made the story of going to the theater sound so righteous and sincere that she almost believed it.
Bai Luochen rarely mischievously blinked like Zhong Ling'er. Although his junior fellow disciples were playing tricks on him, he felt relieved. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night last night, but now he felt refreshed. He believed that he would feel even better after smelling the fireworks.
There were a lot of people gathered in front of the Tianji Academy, but they were all stopped outside. Dean Tianxuan came out and said that everything was fine and it was being handled, so he asked everyone to disperse. The brothers and sisters could only admire the dark high-rise building and then followed the crowd back to the inn.
Not long after, Master Wu Chen returned with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood and encouraged his disciples with a few words, then led everyone to the arena.
As soon as Zhong Ling'er entered the venue, she noticed two pairs of eyes staring at her.
Turning around, it was Zhenren Tianming and Zhenren Tianxuan. They must have discovered that the Sutra Repository had been robbed, and they had identified themselves as their primary suspect.
Zhong Ling'er chatted and laughed with her senior brothers as if nothing had happened, not taking these things to heart at all. Currently, all the things were inside the Canghai Pearl. The Canghai Pearl wanted to hide its aura, and even the gods couldn't find it, let alone them.
Everyone returned to the competition venue again. Some people were still whispering, wondering who was so bold as to touch the tiger's whiskers of the Tianji Pavilion, but most people's minds had already returned to the competition.
The battle for the top five rankings, which should have attracted the most attention, did not have the slightest tense atmosphere. After all, the number one in the overall ranking was undoubtedly determined to be the Taiqiong Sect. If the Lingjian Sect could get the second place in this match, they would be able to enter the top five in the overall ranking. With the strength of the Lingjian Sect, this ranking was basically stable.
Of course, no one doubted Zhong Ling'er's unexpected way of thinking, but today there was no chance to challenge, so she had no room to act strangely!
The first and fifth places were basically decided, so what remained was the competition between Wuji Sect, Wanluo Sect, and Feixing Sect for the second and third places. The three sects themselves were not very interested, and the same was naturally true for the spectators.
Oh, there is also Fengming Sect. They are more concerned about this game. If Lingjian Sect loses and doesn't get first or second place, they will be fifth. Although the hope is slim, they still have hope.
Zhong Ling'er stood obediently beside her senior brother, her mind full of thoughts on how to make trouble. There was no way that Tianji Pavilion would let it go, and she was not going to let it go either.
"Everyone, before today's competition, I need your help with something. I have two figures here, please help me identify them!"
Dean Tianxuan suddenly stood up, his expression showing undisguised anger. Without waiting for anyone to ask, he waved his hand and a shadow stone floated in the air. Then, a shadow appeared in front of everyone.
Under the dark night, two men in black robes stepped into the formation of Tianji Academy. The man in front, who was obviously shorter than him, held the hand of the man behind him and moved around in the formation skillfully. Without disturbing anyone, he walked in easily.
Then, when it was almost dawn, the shorter man in black robe pulled another person out quickly and soon disappeared from the screen. The formation was behind them and made no sound at all.
