Chapter 147: Burning the Third Elder's Body
Chen Wan'er acted decisively and quickly passed the message to Li Wen through her magical powers.
He asked him to arrange for people outside to hold the Fourth Elder back, while he himself immediately began to deal with the matters concerning the mysterious magic circle above his head.
Strictly speaking, her goal was not to remove the magic circle directly, but to copy it first and then destroy the original magic circle.
The moment Li Wen received the order, he was full of doubts.
He thought to himself: How could it be the Fourth Elder?
It was the Third Elder who had committed many evil deeds, so why were they pointing the finger at the Fourth Elder now?
However, since Gao Huohuo had given a clear order, Li Wen knew in his heart that Chen Wan'er was no ordinary person and there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
So he suppressed his doubts and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, the two sides in the yard were deadlocked and bargaining fiercely.
The third elder was determined to buy the yard, while the people of the Blood Demon Sect led by Li Wen were desperately raising the price according to the established strategy, trying to disrupt the situation and leave the third elder no time to take care of other things.
After receiving the message from Chen Wan'er, Li Wen's mind raced and he immediately changed his tactics.
Instead of blindly raising the price, try playing hard to get and giving the other party a glimmer of hope that seems attainable.
“Let’s do this!”
The old man pretended by Li Wen cleared his throat and suggested slowly.
"We've been talking for so long, and we've all made some concessions. How about you just put all your storage bags here, and we'll pick out the most valuable item?"
When the Third Elder heard this, his face showed no reaction. He stood there quietly like a wooden sculpture, as if waiting for some secret instructions.
Seeing that the Third Elder didn't answer, the Blood Demon Sect's people impatiently urged him:
"Hey, say something! At least give me a definite answer whether you agree or not."
Seeing the Third Elder like this again, the Thousand Illusions Sect's leader remained calm and secretly sent a message to the First Elder:
"Have you noticed that something has been wrong with the Third Elder since that fierce fight with the Fourth Elder?"
The Great Elder understood and nodded slightly to the Sect Master.
Then he signaled the sect leader with his eyes to keep a close eye on the Fourth Elder, and reminded him not to send any more messages to avoid being discovered.
As expected, the Fourth Elder frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly raised his head.
The Third Elder began to answer like a puppet being manipulated:
"My storage bags are all in the sect. I don't have anything valuable on me. Let's continue our discussion as we just discussed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Elder instantly returned to his initial expressionless and stern look.
At this moment, even the meticulous people in the Blood Demon Sect had noticed some clues.
It was obvious that the three elders were like puppets being pulled by strings, unable to control themselves.
While others were still racking their brains to guess who the real mastermind was, Li Wen already had the answer in his mind.
Meanwhile, the Third Elder, who was inside the Fourth Elder's body, was trying his best at this moment, secretly attacking the talisman's restraining power in the depths of his soul.
Unfortunately, Chen Wan'er gave him double insurance. In addition to the puppet talisman, there was also a tricky immobilization talisman.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder had already broken free from the restraints of the immobilization talisman, but the puppet talisman was still like a solid shackle that he was still a little bit short of breaking free from.
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes cast towards him, the Third Elder was extremely anxious. He could only grit his teeth and speed up the process of breaking through the talisman.
He cursed viciously in his heart: These damn people in the dark, once he breaks through the control of this damn talisman, he will kill them all, leaving no one alive!
Fortunately, he had already felt that the restraining force of the puppet talisman had loosened, so he must be about to succeed.
However, ideals are full, but reality is very skinny.
Just when he was looking forward to regaining his freedom, he was horrified to find that his body stood up uncontrollably and then walked step by step towards the underground dark room.
He was horrified and could only frantically use the power of his soul to control his body and let it continue to participate in the negotiations.
When he returned to the underground dark room, he was surprised to find that the magic circle above his head had been successfully revealed.
He was horrified and was about to take action to cover up this fatal magic circle when he felt the spiritual power in his body surging uncontrollably.
He was delighted, thinking that he was about to break free from the puppet talisman's constraints and be able to use his spiritual power to cover the magic circle.
Who knew that the next moment, there was a loud "bang" and the magic circle above his head was destroyed by his own spiritual power.
Before he had time to feel sad about the damage to the magic circle, even more terrifying things happened. His body was controlled by an unknown force and he slapped himself hard.
"Get out! Get out of my body!"
He roared in despair in his heart, feeling that all this was absurd.
It was clearly himself inside the body at this moment, but he had to pretend to be the Fourth Elder and endure such torture.
Little did he know that the real Fourth Elder had already been beaten to pieces by him, his soul and body destroyed.
However, the earth-shaking roar instantly attracted everyone outside.
Even Ma Qi and the Second Elder arrived at the scene at the critical moment.
As soon as Ma Qi and Gu Jun came in, they searched everywhere for Chen Wan'er, but found nothing.
As they filed in, they happened to hear the Fourth Elder's roar, filled with despair and anger:
"Get out! Get out of my body!"
Everyone suddenly felt as if they were facing a great enemy, and a look of vigilance appeared on their faces.
They all drew out their gleaming weapons in unison, like a solid barrier, ready to fight against the four elders.
The second elder, who arrived late, was furious. He stared at the fourth elder with wide eyes and roared:
"Who are you? Get out of the Fourth Elder's body immediately!"
The Fourth Elder's body trembled slightly, and then a completely different voice came out of his mouth, with a bit of grievance and unwillingness:
"Why should I go out? The Fourth Elder always acts so hypocritical, yet you all trust him so completely!"
Before he finished speaking, another trembling and anxious voice sounded:
"Master, please save me! The Third Elder has taken control of my body!"
Hearing these sounds coming one after another, everyone was stunned at first, and then a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on their faces.
Only the Blood Demon Sect's people were kind enough to carry the Third Elder's body in. One of them looked around and asked:
"What should we do with his body? How about burning it? It would be a complete end and save us from unnecessary troubles."
When everyone heard this, they came back to their senses as if they had been awakened from a dream.
Yes, as long as his physical body is burned, the Third Elder’s spirit and soul will be like a rootless duckweed and will not be a cause for concern.
Moreover, the Fourth Elder can lend them a helping hand now, and together they can fight against the Third Elder's spirit. This way, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be greater.
The sect leader did it without hesitation. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttered something, and a dazzling magical light flashed.
The blazing fireball was like a falling meteor, hitting the body of the third elder with precision.
In the blink of an eye, the flames, like a greedy beast, quickly devoured the body of the third elder, with a raging fire and crackling sounds.
Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the burning fire, Chen Wan'er took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and used her spiritual power to quickly tear off the storage bag on his body and put it into her pocket.
Then, she quietly and secretly sent a message to Li Wen, asking the people of the Blood Demon Sect to prepare to retreat immediately.
After all, the puppet talisman could only last a short time, and she had no intention of staying here for long.
She thought, if she gave the clan leader and the others a chance to clean up the mess, three against one should be no problem!
But the facts gave her a loud slap in the face. She had greatly underestimated the Third Elder's rage.
After all, anyone would be consumed by endless anger if they watched their body being burned to ashes but were unable to do anything about it!
