"Bullshit. I think you are the running dog sent by the court. You want to take advantage of this critical opportunity to muddy the waters." Yin Qiuyuan glared and spoke coldly.

Although the girl usually looks weak and timid, she is actually very sharp-tongued. She can make the men opposite her who speak rudely so mad that veins pop out of their heads.

"That's right, you are just making groundless accusations. You are the lackeys of the imperial court hiding in the underworld." Lei Juanjuan was not to be outdone. She pointed at the disciples who slandered them and cursed them.

"Oh my, we don't know who is good and who is bad now. Why don't we tie up the most suspicious people first." Yingui said with a smile, as if he was looking forward to chaos in the world.

Manor Master Yin took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "Do you really want to continue blaming each other? Can you all calm down a little and listen to me?"

"How about Miss Yu release the python to block the firearms attack?"

"Yeah, I never thought that the giant python is so poisonous. If we let it go out and spray some venom, it might kill those who attacked the island."

Master Yin opened his mouth and was about to say, "What good things are you thinking of?", when he heard Zheng Haojie's cold voice, "Stop dreaming, he used to be an official of the imperial court, Lord Jade Fox of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Now he probably has a close relationship with the imperial court, how could he really help us?"

When everyone turned around and saw Yu Linlang staring at the trap pit for a long time without saying a word, some people became discouraged.

Yes, if you really want to help them, why would you keep silent at this critical moment?
Are they destined to be surrounded and hunted on this deserted island today?

"Miss Yu?" Master Yin said cautiously.

Yu Linlang paid no attention to the noisy sounds around her. She stared at the blood-soaked female disciple in the trap pit, squinting her eyes and muttering to herself, "Gold...wood, water, fire, earth. It seems that there is only one left."

"What?" Everyone felt startled when they heard her eerie muttering.

Yin Botao was close and heard it most clearly. His eyebrows couldn't help but jump violently, "Miss Yu."

Yu Linlang raised her hand to stop him from talking, turned to look at Zheng Haojie with a gloomy face, and smiled, "Master Zheng, aren't you tired of being so serious all the time? Acting is really exhausting, how about slowing down a bit?"

Zheng Haojie felt cold air gushing out of his whole body. "I wonder if Master Yuhu has any other advice for me."

"We're having a ceremony." Yu Linlang said something out of the blue. Those who didn't understand were naturally confused, while those who understood changed their expressions drastically.

"What did you say!!" Zheng Haojie looked at her coldly, and his uneven eyebrows were involuntarily wrinkled into a "川" shape.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Let me guess. What kind of heaven-worshipping ritual is this? Why do you have to do this? You have to create a sense of ritual. What do you want to do?"

Yu Linlang waved her hand to stop him from speaking, and smiled slightly, "Calculate the time, one person died a day, four died in three days. The first female victim was Xue Liniang. She died in the soil, buried alive and suffocated to death."

"Liu Jincui, the second female victim. Burned to charcoal by an unknown fuel."

"Wu Long, a disciple of Yin Jiu Men, was the third person to die and the only male. On the surface, he appeared to have drowned, but in fact, he was probably poisoned by the spirit incense and the bone-melting poison. The fusion of the toxins caused his body to become extremely hot, so he jumped into the water, became unconscious, and his limbs became uncoordinated, and he was unlucky enough to drown." "I have reason to suspect that this one also died unjustly. The targets of your ritual are probably all women, and suddenly a man shows up. Well, how should I put it, the ritual becomes a bit out of place. But, what can we do? We are running out of time, so we can just fill in the numbers if we happen to run into him, right, Master Zheng?"

"So you guys are just not sincere." Yu Linlang opened her hands and smiled slightly, "The ceremony is so simple and crude, just like an assembly line operation, just following the process without putting your heart into it? How can that work? According to my experience of watching dramas, such a crudely made ceremony is doomed to fail and not succeed."

"Miss Yu, just opening your mouth, does it sound like you're framing me?" Zheng Haojie snorted and laughed, with no sign of anything unusual in his expression.

"Don't interrupt me, just listen to me."

"This unknown female disciple of the Tianqiong Sect, let's call her the fourth sacrificer, died from a wooden thorn piercing her chest. She was an absolute scapegoat, poor little thing." Yu Linlang's tone was cheerful, but everyone felt uneasy and their faces changed drastically.

"Based on the second female victim, Liu Jincui, and the situation that night, I have reason to suspect that the target you wanted to kill from the very beginning was the girl from the family of Elder Lin of the Nanting Tianqiong Sect, Lin Qi."

"Come to think of it, the person to be sacrificed in the underworld ritual must be a young and beautiful girl. It would be best if she could be hailed as a fairy in the martial arts world. Although Liu Jincui is pretty, she is a village girl who doesn't know martial arts after all. If she hadn't foolishly bumped into it, why would the ritual choose her?"

Lin Qi's expression suddenly changed, and he unconsciously shrank closer to his fellow brothers and sisters.

No wonder there was a trap as soon as I entered Merlin. It turned out that all this was arranged by humans? ?

“Because Liu Jincui acted on her own, your second female victim was sacrificed incorrectly. The unlucky Liu Jincui helped Miss Lin ward off disaster once. And now, this poor female disciple has helped her ward off disaster for the second time.” I have to say that Lin Qi is the heroine. She can’t be killed no matter what you do.

The halo of the protagonist. It must be the halo of the protagonist.

Yu Linlang felt that she had discovered the truth, and looked at Lin Qi with an indescribable expression.

The latter felt a chill in his heart when he saw her unpredictable look, and subconsciously took half a step back.

Xu Jin hurriedly stood in front of her and glared at Yu Linlang rudely: "Miss Yu, can you please explain yourself more clearly? Is it fun to make people panic by saying these things?"

"If you are stupid and can't understand what others say, don't blame them for not explaining it clearly." Murong Chi responded bluntly.

"That's right, my sister explained it so clearly, what's there to be difficult to understand? Sect Leader Zheng organized a human sacrifice ceremony to trick your Junior Sister Lin, do you understand? But the trick didn't work the first time, and a village girl died. The trick also didn't work the second time, and another of your fellow disciples was killed." Situ Kongkong curled his lips.

"I don't know if it's because Miss Lin hid too quickly that she implicated others, otherwise it's impossible for others to be her scapegoat."

"What did you say?" Xu Jin was furious. "I warn you not to talk nonsense. Junior Sister Lin is not that kind of person. This trap is not good for anyone, right?"

Zheng Haojie was also angered by Situ Kongkong's constant nagging, "Who do you say is conducting a human sacrifice ceremony? If you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense."

"Humph, you can spread rumors just by talking?" (End of this chapter)
