After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 282 The Way She Shut People Up!

Lin Yan rested her chin on her hand, recalling how that person had brought several subordinates onto the flying boat.

Besides the two attendants following behind, there should have been a whole group of people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited her to join the group.

How many malicious glances were cast upon her at that time? At least five, if you count.

After a short while, there was another knock on her door.

She stood up and went straight to open the door, completely unafraid of being ambushed.

This time, it was an attendant she had met before who came. Seeing that it was her who opened the door, he quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I knocked on the wrong door."

Lin Yan said expressionlessly, "You're here to find your young master, aren't you?"

He nodded hurriedly, craning his neck to look inside.

"Come in, he went to buy something for me, he'll be back in a bit," she said, stepping aside.

After the person entered, she swiftly closed the door and killed them in the same way as before. Decisive and efficient, not giving anyone a chance to waste words.

A storage bag with the mental imprint erased appeared on the table. She didn't check it immediately, but instead stretched and waited for the others to arrive.

She used the same method to deal with two more people the following night. She figured no one else would come at this hour, so she opened the storage bag and took out her belongings to check.

The first storage bag picked up belonged to the leader among them, and he used the best storage bag.

It contains several thousand high-grade spirit stones, as well as common elixirs and talismans.

There were also some that were not commonly seen, and most of the techniques among them were unorthodox. She took them out, opened them, and then tossed them aside.

The storage bag also contained many bottles that held monsters, some white and some black.

The black bottle was covered with sealing talismans; anyone who didn't know better would think it contained a living, ferocious beast.

Aren't these people involved in murder and robbery? What are they doing with so many bottles used to hold the corpses of monsters? To store the bodies?

Thinking this, she probed her senses into the bottle and was stunned when she saw the corpse inside.

She was right; it really was used to decorate the corpses of soldiers.

The five bottles contained twenty bodies, including both male and female cultivators.

However, none of them had fatal wounds, and their faces were pale, suggesting they died from torture.

She picked up the black bottle but did not immediately remove the seal; instead, she used her divine sense to examine it first.

It contains the primordial spirit of a cultivator, but it looks quite weak!
She compared the appearance of the spirit with that of the corpse and found that they matched.

So those people weren't dead; their souls were simply separated, leaving their bodies as empty shells, making them appear dead.

She couldn't help but have a bold idea: those people were not only committing heinous crimes, but also using this method to transport cultivators.

The cultivator's primordial spirit is forcibly separated and sealed into a special bottle, then the body is preserved in a white bottle.

It doesn't matter if this method damages the primordial spirit and turns someone into an idiot; they might just want an idiot!
She realized that there might be a huge industry chain behind this, which she couldn't easily get involved in!

Lin Yan put the bottle away, not immediately restoring their primordial spirits.

Firstly, the room she booked wasn't very big and couldn't hide so many people. Secondly, even if these people were reinstated, they would most likely be mentally impaired, causing her a lot of trouble.

Having accidentally gotten involved in this, I had no obligation to save anyone. Even worse, I could have simply thrown the bottle away and left these people to fend for themselves.

She put the bottle away and checked the other storage bags.

The other henchmen had even fewer good items in their storage bags, and most of their pills were low-grade.

She took what she could use, gathered the rest together, and took them to the black market to sell. After finishing, she took out her communication jade disc and sent a message to her master, informing him of the matter.

Knowing that her master had just gone into seclusion and probably wouldn't be able to reply immediately, she put away the communication jade disc and prepared to disembark at the next stop, head to the Miaofa Sect branch, inform the resident elder about the matter, and hand the bottle over to the elder for disposal.

I wasn't originally trying to save people, so I don't need any connections or favors. It's perfect that the credit for saving people falls on the Miaofa Sect.

The next day at daybreak, she pushed open the door and went out, intending to get some fresh air on the deck.

To her surprise, a few people had gathered in the corridor, and they looked at her with strange eyes when she came out. One of them, not bothering to muffle the noise, muttered, "Is that her?"

The person being asked nodded, indicating that he shouldn't ask.

This affected behavior was utterly baffling. She walked straight over and coldly questioned, "Are you talking about me?"

The group was clearly surprised that she would come up to them directly. They didn't answer and started to push and pull each other as they tried to leave.

She immediately stopped them, her eyes still cold. "If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes!"

The group couldn't help but feel guilty. Strangely, although she was shorter than them, she had such a commanding presence.

Lin Yan actually finds this kind of behavior quite annoying.

When several people are discussing something together, if they don't want the person in question to hear, they can either mute the sound or use a secret method of telepathy.

But this person deliberately raised his voice, wasn't he just trying to make her hear him?
Now that he could hear everything clearly, he went up and questioned them directly, but they remained silent.

"So what if we talk about you? You're promiscuous and we can't even discuss it?" One of the male cultivators stepped forward, pretending to be aggressive, but his neck was stiff.

Lin Yan merely glanced at him coldly, and he shrank back even further, looking utterly ridiculous.

Someone else muttered in the background, "Exactly! One woman with five men? Even the Joyful Union Sect isn't this outrageous!"

Perhaps it was this statement that put them on a moral high ground, and they straightened up from their initial cowering.

The first male cultivator to step forward seemed to gain strength from nowhere. He puffed out his chest and said righteously, "So what if I talk about you? You do this kind of thing and you won't let people talk about it?"

She remained silent, her eyes chillingly cold.

"Hmph, you're angry now that you've been exposed!" He raised his voice, and seeing someone coming down from upstairs, he shouted as he fabricated a baseless scandalous affair for her using the most vulgar language.

It seems that when she invited people in last night, they were seen by the people living in the same row of rooms, and they deliberately discussed it in front of her this morning.

Because they can't think of anything else but that one thing, they assume she sleeps with five men in one night.

He deliberately said it so she could hear it, his words were condemnation, but in his mind he actually wanted to try it, right?

Tch, how ridiculous.

Seeing that she didn't argue, they assumed she was beyond reproach. Little did they know, Lin Yan was considering crippling them first!
They continued to shout, but their tongues were cut off with a sword. Several tongues fell to the floor with a thud.

The scene, which had been quite noisy and crowded, suddenly quieted down.

The way to shut someone up is so simple! Now no one should dare to gossip in front of her.

As for what others say behind her back... whatever, she can't hear it anyway.

"what!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, but after being swept over by her cold gaze, they immediately covered their mouth with both hands.

The men whose tongues had been cut off seemed to be still in shock, their eyes wide open and blood spilling from their mouths.

No one else could see how fast she moved.
