Chapter 394: The Person Isn’t a Female Disciple?
Only now did Lin Fengmian realize that his parents and Song Youwei had not seen his current face, and he felt a bit hesitant. He didn’t know whether he should reveal his identity to his parents, but Wang Yanran had already excitedly called out, “Junior Brother Lin!”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhuxuan hesitated, “Mian’er?”
A mother knows her child best, and even though Lin Fengmian had changed his appearance, she still recognized him.
Lin Fengmian nodded, “Mother, it’s me!”
Li Zhuxuan covered her mouth, finding it hard to believe, “Mian’er, what happened to you?”
Lin Fengmian lied: “It’s the same as what’s on your face, just a disguise, don’t worry, Mother.”
He cautiously looked around and smiled, “Let’s not stand here, let’s go inside and talk.”
The group quickly entered the house, and when Lin Fengmian saw that no one was around, he used his Thousand Illusions Technique to change back to his original appearance.
“Senior Sister Wang, what are you doing here?”
Wang Yanran explained, “Last night, the formation was broken and my cultivation was crippled, so I brought Uncle and the others to hide in this old house.”
“I was afraid that those beasts would harm Sister Youwei and Auntie, so I quickly gave them disguises, but I didn’t think they would still be recognized. Luckily, you were here, Junior Brother.”
Lin Fengmian then remembered that he had given money to his parents and thought that they had already moved away from here a long time ago.
It seemed that they had returned to avoid danger, and he had coincidentally arrived at the right time.
He didn’t expect that Wang Yanran would still be thinking about helping him take care of his parents at a time like this, and he felt a bit moved.
Regardless of who Wang Yanran was, she had never wronged him, Lin Fengmian, and he would remember this favor.
“Thanks to you, Senior Sister.”
Wang Yanran shook her head and smiled wryly, “Junior Brother is being polite, I didn’t help much.”
Lin Fengmian knew that this wasn’t the time to talk about such things, and Wang Yanran’s favor could only be repaid later.
“Senior Sister, do you know what is happening in the city right now?”
Wang Yanran shook her head, “Senior Sister Liu and Senior Sister Chen broke out, but most of the other sisters were caught.”
“The Heavenly Deception Sect has taken over Yiyun Tower, and they’re being held captive there. Cao Cheng’an is overseeing it personally.”
Lin Fengmian listened and thought for a moment before taking out a few talismans and placing them on the table.
These talismans were the same as the ones Wang Yanran had, and they didn’t require any spiritual energy to activate.
“Senior Sister, please take care of them, I’ll be back soon.”
He had killed Li Hao, and soon others would discover it. He needed to stir up trouble and divert the Heavenly Deception Sect’s attention as soon as possible.
Song Youwei and the others wanted to speak, but they hesitated, not expecting to be separated from Lin Fengmian again so soon.
“Fengmian.. ”
Lin Fengmian smiled confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, we’ll meet again later.”
He stood up, changed his appearance again, and left.
A moment later, in a small alley, Lin Fengmian rushed towards two disciples of the Heavenly Deception Sect.
“Senior Brothers, it’s not good! There’s an enemy!”
The two disciples quickly approached him and looked around, “Where?”
“Here!”
Lin Fengmian sneered and killed the two disciples with his sword.
The two disciples had been on guard against the female disciples of the Joyful Union Sect, but they hadn’t expected a male disciple of the Joyful Union Sect to appear.
Lin Fengmian had used this trick to easily kill nine people outside.
At this time, there were only six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators left outside, but Lin Fengmian didn’t continue attacking.
He found a group of members and secretly followed them, listening in on their conversations for a while in order to gather enough information.
Later, Lin Fengmian took advantage of the moment when the person in front wasn’t paying attention and quietly killed the person behind, then changed his appearance and followed the other disciple.
He couldn’t possibly appear as Ju Ming again.
After all, Li Hao was already dead, and as an outsider, he was still alive. If it was discovered that so many people had died, he would definitely be the prime suspect.
Lin Fengmian followed the disciple and searched the city, and just as they were about to return to the base to report, a firework shot up into the sky, exploding with a mournful cry.
This was the Heavenly Deception Sect’s emergency assembly signal, and Lin Fengmian and the disciple quickly returned to the base.
The base was Yiyun Tower in the city, which was originally the Joyful Union Sect’s base, but was now being occupied by the Heavenly Deception Sect.
When Li Yuming and the other two Core Formation Realm cultivators saw the six people returning, their faces were extremely ugly.
They had just discovered that people were missing and sent out a signal, but they didn’t expect only six people to return.
“Where are the others?”
Lin Fengmian and the others looked at each other, pretending to be clueless.
“I don’t know!”
The disciples of the Heavenly Deception Sect in Yiyun Tower also rushed out, and even Cao Cheng’an was alerted.
Cao Cheng’an came out, deliberately lowering his voice to a low tone.
“What’s going on?”
He was accompanied by two Core Formation Realm cultivators, one of whom was the Xiao Li whom Lin Fengmian had met before.
Li Yuming spoke loudly, “Everyone be careful, there’s a female demon from the Joyful Union Sect in the city!”
“Where is she?”
“I didn’t see her!”
…
Everyone looked around cautiously, searching for the non-existent female demon of the Joyful Union Sect.
Cao Cheng’an heard this and suddenly became furious, sneering, “I knew those two bitches would come back! Where are they?”
“Junior Brother Li, how many people are there?”
The other Core Formation Realm cultivator, who had a rugged appearance with a beard, asked.
“I don’t know, but only these six disciples have returned from our patrol, the others are all gone,” Li Yuming said.
The crowd furrowed their brows, but Cao Cheng’an smiled coldly, “They only dare to make a sneak attack, so there can’t be many people, maybe it’s just the two of them.”
The others nodded in agreement, and Xiao Li asked Cao Cheng’an, “Young Master, shall we go out and search?”
Cao Cheng’an coldly snorted, “Of course, capture the two women alive!”
Li Yuming proposed, “We should form groups of six, with a Core Formation Realm cultivator leading each group, so that we don’t give them a chance to pick us off one by one.
Xiao Li added, “But we should leave two people here to guard in case those female demons try to create a distraction.”
The bearded man nodded, “Exactly! They must be coming for the captured female demons.”
In the end, Li Yuming and the other two Core Formation Realm cultivators reluctantly led the search, but they also took nine Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from Cao Cheng’an’s side with them.
Li Yuming led Lin Fengmian and the other four people to search the city, but they couldn’t find any sign of the female demons, not even a single hair. They became frustrated.
Suddenly, Lin Fengmian leaned over to Li Yuming and whispered, “Senior Brother, I have an idea!”
“What idea?” Li Yuming asked.
Lin Fengmian looked around carefully and leaned closer to Li Yuming’s ear, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Yuming didn’t think much of it, after all, the technique of transmitting sound into someone’s ear was a high-level skill that only Core Formation Realm cultivators could master, and this young man shouldn’t be able to do it.
Lin Fengmian whispered in Li Yuming’s ear, “Senior Brother, what if the person who came isn’t a female demon from the Joyful Union Sect?”
“What do you mean?” Li Yuming asked confusedly.
“Maybe the person is a man, and he’s right among us!” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
Li Yuming was shocked and turned to look at Lin Fengmian, but he was met with a pair of piercing blue eyes, and his mind was instantly disrupted.
Lin Fengmian quickly reached into Li Yuming’s body and grasped his Core Formation Realm Dan.
He not only revealed his true intention to Li Yuming, but also dug out Li Yuming’s heart and lungs.
