Chapter 248: Yin Xun's Final Stroke
Two birds suddenly burst into the conference hall, and everyone turned their gaze towards Zhang Chi.
"What's the matter with your birds?"
Today's meeting was relatively relaxed in terms of discipline. Although there were people guarding the entrance, they were also more relaxed.
Knowing that the Purple Dragon Guard had dealt with the River Monster, everyone was feeling a bit numb and had no interest in formalities.
Both Cai Yu and the other bird flew in quickly, catching the guards off guard.
The people in the hall were not in a good mood at the moment. They had been heavily hit by the Dragon Transformation Palace and were feeling depressed and withdrawn. Wasn't Cai Yu just walking into a trap?
"What's wrong with your birds? If you can't control them, we can help you."
The Perfected Being from the Pill Cauldron Sect snorted unhappily but didn't make a move.
After all, Zhang Chi was about to become the son-in-law of the Dragon Transformation Palace, so they had to give him some face.
Not to mention what his future would be like, they didn't want to get too involved in anything related to the Dragon Transformation Palace at the moment.
During the meeting, almost everyone's thoughts were not focused on the meeting itself, but rather on what the Dragon Transformation Palace was up to.
Their thoughts were almost unanimous—they all felt that this was Long Yi's way of demonstrating.
A fierce tiger only shows its teeth and claws when it feels threatened. When it feels safe, it relaxes.
The Dragon Transformation Palace had already sent a signal, so it would be wise for them to behave.
Long Yi knew Cai Yu's temperament. Although she could be a bit sarcastic and mischievous, she was also a sensible bird.
There must be a reason for her to barge into the conference hall.
Zhang Chi noticed the silk book under the other bird's feet and reminded, "Look, there's something under that bird's feet. Cai Yu might have intentionally driven it over."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the pale yellow bird. Miao Qin made a move, and the yellow bird that had been circling in the room was uncontrollably drawn into Miao Qin's hand.
Miao Qin took off the silk book from its feet, and her expression was initially casual. However, her face suddenly changed when she opened and read its contents.
Even though she usually managed her expressions well, she couldn't hold it in this time.
Others were paying attention to her, and seeing Miao Qin's change in expression, they couldn't help but become curious.
"Miao Qin Perfected Being, what does it say on there?" asked another elder from the Pill Cauldron Sect who practiced fire magic. Zhang Chi didn't know his name, but it only strengthened his belief that he shouldn't learn fire-based spells in the future.
If a fire cultivator wasn't very smart, it was their own fault. But if every fire cultivator they encountered wasn't very smart, then it was a problem with fire cultivation itself.
Cultivation, cultivation. Zhang Chi didn't know if their attributes influenced them, whether they truly cultivated or just pretended to.
Based on his observations, Zhang Chi had come up with some immature conclusions.
Fire cultivators had a hot temper, beast tamers had a sleazy character, sword cultivators were simple-minded, and those who learned music were romantic and sentimental...
From what he had seen so far, this seemed to be the general situation.
Everyone in the audience was holding their breath, waiting for Miao Qin to speak, except for the elder from the Pill Cauldron Sect who couldn't hold it in.
Miao Qin's heart immediately became conflicted.
She didn't know whether she should let others see what was on it.
If it were yesterday, she might not have hesitated, but...
After considering it, Miao Qin suddenly conjured up a flame in her hand and burned the silk book clean.
"These are all filthy words, it's really infuriating to look at!" Miao Qin said, casually sending out an invisible ripple, instantly killing the yellow spirit bird.
Cai Yu was frightened and quickly flew onto Zhang Chi's shoulder.
This woman is terrifying, she kills birds at the drop of a hat!
Miao Qin's actions stunned everyone present.
"What kind of filthy words were they?" the stubborn fire-type Perfected Being continued to ask.
Miao Qin smiled gently and said, "I don't know which infatuated man or woman used a bird to send messages, but they were all vulgar and obscene. I didn't show it to everyone because I didn't want to dirty their eyes. Do you all believe me?"
I don't believe you!
But something of this level wouldn't cause Miao Qin's expression to change.
She wasn't an inexperienced young girl.
Having served the martial world for many years, she was the strongest elder of the Coiling Dragon River's second sect, and the actual person in charge of the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Would someone like her change her expression because of some vulgar words?
But even if they saw through it, they couldn't expose it. Now that the evidence had been destroyed, everyone could only believe Miao Qin's nonsense.
There was nothing more to discuss in the meeting, so it ended. Instead, everyone became curious about what Miao Qin had seen.
Just as the meeting dispersed, Zhang Chi asked Cai Yu, "Do you know what was written on that silk book?"
Long Yan, upon hearing this, pinched Zhang Chi in embarrassment.
"Why do you want to know that!" she said.
She truly believed Miao Qin's nonsense.
And the others hadn't gone far yet, they were all eavesdropping.
Zhang Chi did it on purpose.
Miao Qin's reaction was a bit off. She wasn't someone who enjoyed killing. When the bird flew in, she didn't kill it immediately, but as soon as she saw the silk book, she acted.
It was a bit like silencing someone, perhaps she was worried that the bird had also seen the contents of the silk book.
The bird was a spirit bird, even if it couldn't speak, it had spiritual power.
If someone with ill intentions obtained it, they could also search its soul and find what they wanted.
So Miao Qin directly eradicated it, not even leaving a soul for the bird.
Miao Qin was able to kill that bird, so it is possible for her to kill Cai Yu as well.
Only when she is at ease can Cai Yu be safe.
Cai Yu didn't know the twists and turns inside, and directly answered, "How would I know? I just wanted to see what it was holding in its hand and chat with it. But it kept avoiding me and flew here."
"Too bad."
Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief. It's better not to know.
Knowing would be troublesome.
The eavesdropper learned that Cai Yu coincidentally chased the bird here, leaving them speechless.
What a despicable bird. Other people's birds are used for delivering messages, but you insist on playing with it.
Look, isn't it dead now?
Cai Yu didn't expect this outcome either. She has always been mischievous, but now that she sees the yellow bird dead before her eyes, she is scared.
She clung to Zhang Chi's shoulder and didn't dare to come down.
The meeting ended, and Zhang Chi also had to prepare to return to Sword Sect.
He had to bring the good news back to Little Warehouse Mountain. As for Wenren Li, she took the money and left yesterday. He didn't know where she went.
Zhang Chi didn't know if Wenren Li would go to the place he mentioned, where one could avoid prying eyes.
He thought she probably wouldn't go. Putting oneself's life and fortune in someone else's trust is not rational.
Not to mention whether the other party is trustworthy or not, in the face of a great enemy, what if they can't hold up and confess?
Even if their will is firm and they don't confess, they can still be subjected to soul searching.
In short, the safest place is where no one knows, regardless of trust.
Long Yan originally wanted to return to Sword Sect with Zhang Chi, but she is currently the acting palace master of Dragon Transformation Palace and there are many things waiting for her to handle.
She went back yesterday, and her father's injuries worsened because he got into another fight with someone.
At this time, even if Long Yan is reluctant, she can only temporarily fulfill her filial duty.
Zhang Chi expressed understanding, and the two of them parted ways.
Zhang Chi sailed back to Little Warehouse Mountain alone.
He was considered fast, and after Zhang Chi and the others left, Miao Qin, under the pretext of a gathering of old friends, specially invited Xuan Ming Perfected Being and Danhe Perfected Being to her mansion.
Miao Qin was a heartthrob when she was young, and even though she is older now, she still maintains her beauty and charm.
The two elders happily tidied up and went to the banquet.
They originally thought that Miao Qin really wanted to connect with them, but unexpectedly, when they arrived at Miao Qin's Qin Chamber, Miao Qin activated a large formation to isolate the inside from the outside. This posture startled them.
They even suspected that Miao Qin wanted to harm them and immediately became vigilant.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be nervous. I invited you here to talk about the scroll from today..." Miao Qin looked at their nervousness and couldn't help but smile, but after laughing, she realized that these two were her teammates, and her mood wasn't so beautiful anymore.
The enemy is so terrifying, cutting down the Monster Race with a single sword.
And this is just a small fry.
The real big shots haven't made a move yet, and no one knows how strong they really are.
The gap between the enemy and us is too great, and Miao Qin hesitated whether she should reveal the truth.
However, she alone cannot solve such a big matter.
Although her teammates are lacking, they cannot be without them.
"Do you two Fellow Daoists know what is written on that scroll?" Xuan Ming Perfected Being and Danhe Perfected Being glanced at each other, recalling Miao Qin's reaction during the day, and they could smell something amiss.
This wave of events seems to have fallen on them.
Miao Qin suppressed the matter in front of everyone before, and now that almost everyone has left, she only called the two of them. This matter is definitely not small.
Since they are already here, they can't avoid it, so they can only listen quietly.
Miao Qin didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "That spirit bird was raised by Yin Xun.
Yin Xun colluded with the River Monster Race and made a deal. The content of the scroll is about the transaction."
"Oh..." Xuan Ming Perfected Being felt relieved.
The River Monster Race has been completely defeated, and it is impossible for them to organize an effective attack in a short period of time. Things related to the River Monster are no longer a concern.
Danhe Perfected Being, on the other hand, sensed that something was wrong. If things were that simple, Miao Qin wouldn't be so nervous and secretive.
Danhe Perfected Being is the only smart person in the Pill Cauldron Sect because no one else uses their brains, so he has to do it himself.
Of course, he has made mistakes too, such as the unbreakable defense line that he personally established.
It can't be said that it's completely useless, but it can only be said that it's not very useful.
But this doesn't prevent him from being the smartest person in the Pill Cauldron Sect.
Smartness and foolishness are all relative, right?
"Is there something hidden in this?" Miao Qin nodded and explained the cause and effect.
"Yin Xun anticipated that he might die, so he terminated the contract with his Spirit Beast in advance and had the Spirit Beast deliver the prepared letter to the Monster King Hong Li of the River Monster Race after his death."
"That traitor! He's dead, yet he still wants to be associated with the Monster Race! What does the letter say?" Xuan Ming Perfected Being was angry. Profound Heart Sect fell because of a mole, so he was naturally furious.
"Dragon Transformation Palace wants to seize the Coiling Dragon River's luck and has a method to break it..." (End of this chapter)
