Chapter 581: Chapter 242: A Probe_2
And the cultivator guarding that place spoke up:
“The young master is currently cultivating, let them leave first,”
“Besides…”
“This time calling them here was merely a test.”
“Before the young master began his training, he had already made arrangements, that after a few days he will personally visit the Li Family, so they should prepare themselves.”
“Alright, I will return now and notify them.”
The housekeeper nodded and then directly turned around and left.
As for the two cultivators, they did not pay any more attention to him, continuing to faithfully guard the front of the courtyard.
Lin Jing and the others did not wait too long before the housekeeper came back, and spoke directly to Lin Jing and the other two:
“Our young master is currently cultivating and it is inconvenient for him to meet with you.”
“You should leave for now.”
“The young master said that, in a few days, he will personally visit the Li Family regarding today’s matter; you should prepare yourselves in advance.”
As these words were spoken, the housekeeper’s expression was quite arrogant, as if he did not put Lin Jing and his party in his eyes at all.
Offering Priest Luo became angry on the spot:
“What do you mean by this?”
“Our family head has already come in person, and yet your Yun Family dares to leave us hanging like this?”
Li Qingqing also frowned slightly.
However, she did not say anything but looked towards Lin Jing.
And it was at this moment that Lin Jing spoke up, saying:
“If that’s the case, then we should leave for now.”
Offering Priest Luo was startled for a moment, and then looked at Lin Jing with some surprise:
“Senior Lin…”
“Are we just going to leave like this?”
Lin Jing nodded.
Seeing this, Li Qingqing did not say any more but spoke up directly:
“Then let’s do that, we’ll leave first.”
After speaking, without waiting for Offering Priest Luo to say anything else, she stood up first and walked outside.
And Lin Jing also followed behind Li Qingqing and went out.
Offering Priest Luo, with no other choice, shook his head and also followed behind Lin Jing and left.
As the group stood up and left, Lin Jing once again felt that Divine Sense sweeping over him.
That must have been a test by the Yun Family patriarch.
Yet Lin Jing acted as if he hadn’t noticed, with no unusual behavior, continuing to follow Li Qingqing and walking out.
Before long, the three of them left the Yun Family.
And the Divine Sense that had enveloped them also withdrew.
After they came out from the Yun Family, Offering Priest Luo was the first to bid farewell to Li Qingqing, stating he had other matters to attend to.
Naturally, Li Qingqing agreed.
After Offering Priest Luo had left, Li Qingqing couldn’t help but express her curiosity to Lin Jing:
“Why did we leave earlier?”
Lin Jing replied:
“There’s something off about the Yun Family.”
Li Qingqing, puzzled:
“Something off?”
“Could it be dangerous?”
Lin Jing thought for a moment and said:
“When we entered the Yun Family just now, there was a Divine Sense examining our every move.”
“That Divine Sense has reached the Nascent Soul Stage, it must be that Yun Family patriarch.”
“Of course, that’s only one thing.”
“Additionally, the entire Yun Family also seemed somewhat off.”
“I think it’s better to investigate first before saying anything…”
After saying this, Lin Jing turned to Li Qingqing and said:
“Qingqing, you go back first.”
“Hmm…” Li Qingqing nodded.
“Lin Jing, be careful.”
Lin Jing smiled and said:
“Don’t worry…”
“The entire Yun Family combined is not my match, what’s most important is the Nanming Immortal Sect behind the Yun Family.”
After Li Qingqing had left, Lin Jing did not choose to leave.
Instead, he took a detour and found a secluded place not far from the Yun Family, and entered the System Space.
Since the Yun Family was protected by that great Formation, if Lin Jing wanted to investigate without alarming them, it would definitely be more appropriate to use Observation Mode.
Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode.
After entering Observation Mode, Lin Jing continued probing towards the Yun Family under Observation Mode.
However, as soon as Lin Jing’s probe touched the Yun Family, he detected a person.
It was the Offering Priest Luo who had just been with Lin Jing and the others.
At this moment, Offering Priest Luo was conversing with the butler from before.
“Second Steward…”
“What is going on with Young Master Yun Long, wasn’t he supposed to be bringing over Li Qingqing?”
“How come after I brought Li Qingqing here, they immediately let them go?”
The butler began to speak:
“This was merely a test by the young master.”
Upon hearing this, Offering Priest Luo immediately said:
“The young master is being too cautious.”
“I’ve said before, that Lin Jing is definitely posing as someone else, he surely doesn’t have Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.”
At this point, Offering Priest Luo’s face was full of contempt:
“Given his performance today, surely the Second Steward also saw it, with the way he acted, he doesn’t resemble a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the least.”
“If he were truly a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he probably would have turned hostile on the spot.”
The Second Steward, with a calm expression on his face, straightforwardly said:
“This is the young master’s decision, there’s no need for you to worry about it.”
After listening, Offering Priest Luo was left speechless.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing decided not to continue eavesdropping any further.
Following that.
Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode to probe deeper into the Yun Family’s inner courtyard.
With such tight security in the Yun Family’s inner courtyard, there must be secrets unknown to the public.
Lin Jing, using the Observation Mode, arrived at the inner courtyard of the Yun Family and proceeded to investigate several courtyards in succession, finding nothing out of the ordinary.
However, after exploring these courtyards, Lin Jing raised the perspective of Observation Mode and noticed there was a courtyard within the deepest part of the inner courtyard, protected by a Formation.
Seeing this courtyard, Lin Jing immediately understood…
He must have found the target of his search.
Afterward, Lin Jing controlled the Observation Mode to probe towards that courtyard.
At the entrance of this courtyard, there were two cultivators standing guard.
As Lin Jing probed through, a voice emerged from within the courtyard.
“Someone…”
Upon hearing this, the two cultivators immediately took out a Token from their bodies and stuck it onto the Formation.
Following that.
With a wave of ripples, the Formation became elusive, and then the two men, holding the Token, directly passed through the Formation and entered.
Lin Jing followed the two men inside as well.
Once inside the courtyard, Lin Jing saw a square hall in the center of this courtyard.
The entire hall was enveloped by the courtyard’s internal Formation, and atop this Formation, there were red, slightly eerie threads being funneled into the hall.
The doors to the hall were already open.
Inside the hall was a huge Formation, with a person sitting in the middle of it.
That person was Yun Long.
Apart from Yun Long, there was also a female cultivator lying motionless at one side, completely nude.
This female cultivator appeared to have gone through inhuman torture, as there wasn’t an inch of her body that was intact.
However, she was still alive, not dead yet.
Through Observation Mode, Lin Jing could even clearly see the slight movements of her eyelashes.
But after the two of them entered,
they directly produced a piece of black cloth and swiftly wrapped up the female cultivator with it.
Then.
They immediately lifted the wrapped woman and left.
After the two left, they carried the woman behind the grand hall.
Thereafter, the two took out the Token they had used before, performed a set of hand seals in the void, and then the Token emitted a bright light. After the bright light passed, a hole appeared instantly.
When the hole appeared, the two men frowned and then quickly removed the black cloth from the female cultivator’s body, lifted the woman they had just wrapped, and threw her into the hole.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Jing was very curious, so he controlled the Observation Mode to peer into the hole.
Following the hole inside, Lin Jing suddenly discovered that it led to a very large blood pool.
Inside the blood pool were numerous female cultivators’ corpses—how many, Lin Jing couldn’t tell…
But from what Lin Jing could see, there were at least dozens.
Some of these bodies were intact, while others were decomposed and looked extremely horrifying.
Above the blood pool was a Formation.
This Formation seemed to be constantly absorbing the malevolent energy from the blood pool, transferring it to somewhere else.
Lin Jing looked upward and then directly controlled the perspective to pass through that Formation.
Afterwards, he went through the blood pool below and appeared within the grand hall.
So it turned out that the blood pool was connected to the Formation inside the grand hall.
And the malevolent force accumulated in that blood pool was naturally supplied to the Formation within the grand hall.
Moreover.
At this time, the Formation inside the grand hall was flashing with red light, and Yun Long was sitting in the middle of the grand hall’s Formation, his eyes closed as he cultivated…
What do you think?
