Chapter 285: Capturing Zhang Qianmo

Chapter 285: Capturing Zhang Qianmo

The underground chamber below was unlit and pitch black.

However, under Li Fan's spiritual consciousness, the interior was clear as day.

He flicked out a wisp of fire from his hand, igniting the candles that were already there.

As the candlelight flickered, Li Fan's expression gradually became serious.

In this small but not cramped space, a faceless stone statue stood against the wall.

In the middle was a long, dark brown wooden table.

On the table, faint traces of dried blood could be seen.

At the corner of the table, there was a wooden box.

Li Fan opened the box and found inside it hammers, knives, nails, needles, and other tools of unknown use.

Along the walls were many transparent earthen jars.

Inside the jars, various strange-shaped organs were soaking in an unknown liquid.

In one corner, Li Fan also saw several sets of skeletal remains of young humanoids.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Mr. Bai..."

Li Fan's expression was inexplicable as he continued to search the chamber.

In another corner of the wall, he found traces on the ground that were a little different from the rest.

His spiritual consciousness delved deeper underground.

There lay buried one, two...

Twenty-eight sets of skeletons.

Judging from their appearance, they were all beings similar to the "dogs" in the small temple, half-human and half-beast.

Apart from this, there was nothing else of value in the chamber.

Without rushing into action, Li Fan began to contemplate on the spot.

From the various items found in this secret chamber, it seemed that Mr. Bai's image as the "kindest person in the world" was being challenged.

But...

It couldn't be completely overturned yet.

While he was still just an ordinary mortal in Grand Xuan, he had judged countless cases.

Some of the cases that seemed straightforward often had hidden secrets.

Take the scene before him, for example.

It was possible that Mr. Bai was disguising himself very well.

On the surface, he appeared very kind, but in reality, he was an extremely evil person.

The buried skeletons were all victims of his hand.

Even the existence of the human-beast hybrids in Ningyuan City was caused by his proficiency in medicine.

And rescuing the orphans in the small temple was also for the convenience of selecting research subjects.

But it was also possible that Mr. Bai was not disguising himself.

The specimens and skeletons in the secret chamber were only used by him for medical research.

As someone who had transmigrated, Li Fan found this acceptable.

His mind shook violently, and he exclaimed, "Xuantian Statue?"

Right at that moment, behind him, Li Fan suddenly thrust a slender stone needle into the position on his back corresponding to the dantian.

It pierced right through his body.

Zhang Qianmo let out a muffled grunt.

He hadn't expected his junior brother to secretly attack him.

Zhang Qianmo seemed to realize something, his expression changing drastically, and he turned around to counterattack.

However, the spiritual energy in his dantian stagnated for a moment, and his attempt to unleash the Purple Heaven Royal Thunder Technique was delayed.

In that instant, another stone needle fiercely pierced into his chest, through the danzhong acupoint.

Then, one after another.

A total of thirty-six Absolute Immortal Stone needles sealed all the vital acupoints around Zhang Qianmo's body.

His overall aura plummeted, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator now seemed as weak as an ordinary person.

"Immortal Spirit Sealing..."

"The remnants of the Xuantian Sect..."

Although captured, Zhang Qianmo's face showed little panic.

Instead, he stared at Li Fan and exclaimed with hatred, "You are not Junior Brother Li Chen!"

"What have you done to my junior brother?"

Li Fan hadn't expected the Absolute Immortal Stone needles to be so effective, easily subduing Senior Brother Zhang.

When he heard that he had been mistaken for some "remnant of the Xuantian Sect," Li Fan's heart was slightly moved.

Although he remained calm on the surface, he replied casually, "Senior brother, you seem confused. You can't even recognize me, your junior brother?"

Then, he recounted some memories from Li Chen that were only known to the two of them.

Zhang Qianmo's expression kept changing, filled with suspicion.

"Has my junior brother been soul searched? No, with the protection of the Purple Heaven Royal Thunder, he wouldn't fear soul-searching techniques..."

"Could it be..."

Zhang Qianmo's face darkened completely.

"I didn't expect you, my junior brother, to be a spy from the Xuantian Sect who infiltrated our Purple Heaven Sect from childhood?"

Li Fan was dumbfounded.

However, he noticed that Zhang Qianmo seemed confident and wasn't worried about his own situation.

Instead, he seemed to want to fish for information using this opportunity.

So, Li Fan decided to play along and cooperate with the act.

"Senior brother, you're kidding. I have no idea about any Xuantian Sect," Li Fan shrugged innocently.

"Have no idea?"

Zhang Qianmo sneered coldly.

"At this point, stop pretending."

"Hiding the Xuantian Statue, engaging in shady activities."

"Besides the remnants of the Xuantian Sect, who else could it be?"

"You've hidden yourself well over the years, Junior Brother."
