Chapter 916 Standoff
Now, Butterfly Dance has become their only breakthrough point. Who knew that Lin Xiao, being cunning and shrewd, had placed a restriction on Butterfly Dance's sea of consciousness.
If anyone forcibly attempts to search Butterfly Dance's soul, her sea of consciousness will explode, and she will be unable to obtain any information.
Who would have thought they'd become so passive? It's so frustrating.
Wu Yuanzi opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes filled with a fierce storm, which turned into countless sharp points and shot towards Diewu.
This woman seduced him, using every trick in the book.
What he thought would be a romantic encounter and an insult to Lin Xiao turned out to be a meticulously planned scam, making him not only a laughingstock but also indirectly a sinner of the sect.
Now, he must find Lin Xiao and tear him to pieces.
His icy voice, filled with intense hatred, echoed in the hall.
"Butterfly Dance, since you're unwilling to talk, don't blame me for using torture. I want to see if your love for Lin Xiao is enough to make you willing to endure anything!"
After saying that, he flashed and appeared directly in front of Diewu. Then he took out a long nail and smashed it down hard on Diewu's head.
"puff--"
Butterfly Dance, who was already injured, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her eyes immediately became listless and pained.
She struggled, her heart filled with terror and pain.
But they still haven't given in.
Soon, only painful groans remained in the hall.
The other elders pretended not to see anything, their expressions indifferent.
No one felt sympathy, and no one spoke up for her; everyone wanted nothing more than to kill Butterfly Dance!
Just when everyone thought the situation had reached a stalemate, a disciple excitedly rushed in to report.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, Elder Lin is back!!!"
"Elder Lin is really back!!!"
The disciple was very excited and shouted at the door, panting.
Wu Yuanzi, who was still applying the torture, suddenly released his grip and vanished like a gust of wind from beside his disciple.
The sect leader and the other elders were all startled. The sect leader reached out and grabbed Diewu in his hand, then led the elders and flew quickly towards the gate, fearing that Lin Xiao would run away again!
At the same time, Song Wanning stood with Lin Xiao at the main gate of Tianyi Sect.
As expected of a renowned sect, the Tianyi Sect's gate is designed to be magnificent, resembling a giant dragon coiled there from afar, exuding boundless majesty.
The entrance was surrounded by disciples, all of whom showed great respect to Lin Xiao.
Even now, no one believes that Lin Xiao stole the sect's most precious treasure, let alone that he would choose to betray the sect for a woman.
Moreover, he has now returned on his own initiative, which makes it obvious that something is amiss.
Lin Xiao was also very satisfied with the respectful expressions of those disciples. Over the years, he had maintained a high status in the Tianyi Sect and was very popular.
He also made many contributions to the sect.
These disciples are much better than Wu Yuanzi.
Lin Xiao thought to himself, while introducing the general situation of Tianyi Sect to Song Wanning.
Song Wanning listened attentively, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Although Lin Xiao is the Primordial Ancestor, he is actually quite easygoing. While he is not as simple as the previous invaders, he still retains something different from the cultivation world.
That feeling was wonderful; it seemed that no matter how many years I stayed here, it would never fade away.
As they were talking, several figures suddenly appeared at the doorway.
It carried a strong aura of menace, and even Song Wanning felt uncomfortable and took a few steps back.
Lin Xiao didn't react much, staring intently at the other group, his peaceful demeanor instantly shattered.
His sharp gaze instantly fell on Wu Yuanzi. The atmosphere between the two immediately became tense, as if filled with the smell of gunpowder, ready to ignite at any moment.
Butterfly Dance had initially felt a surge of hope when she learned that Lin Xiao had returned.
But I never expected to see Lin Xiao bring another woman back!
At that moment, her heart broke.
For Lin Xiao's sake, he withstood so much pressure, and even when he was being tortured, he never had the slightest thought of betraying him.
But what about Lin Xiao?
How could he bring another woman back?
Moreover, judging from their appearance, their relationship is quite unusual...
Diewu stared at Song Wanning in a daze, and Song Wanning noticed her gaze and looked over.
When he saw that she was covered in wounds and had a thick needle stuck in her head, he frowned deeply.
But Butterfly Dance misunderstood, and her expression immediately became embarrassed.
That glamorous and stunningly beautiful woman looks down on herself, right?
A red streak appeared in her eyes as grief overwhelmed her once more, and her nascent hope was shattered once more.
After a brief encounter and only a few seconds of silence, the sect leader couldn't help but shout at Lin Xiao, "Elder Lin, is the Silent Mirror with you? Please return it immediately to clear up this misunderstanding!"
The sect leader did not want the sect to lose a Primordial Ancestor, and only hoped to gloss over the matter, as long as the Silent Mirror was returned to its place!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's face darkened, and his tone became extremely dissatisfied.
"I came back specifically to stop you from continuing to smear me. The Silent Mirror isn't with me at all, Wu Yuanzi, don't you dare make false accusations!"
He abruptly changed the subject, pointing directly at Wu Yuanzi.
"It was clearly you who colluded with my concubine, not only cuckolding me but also framing me, stealing the silencing mirror and then trying to pin the blame on me! You two certainly have a clever scheme going on!!!"
"If I just leave like this, wouldn't that be exactly what you want?"
Lin Xiao exuded righteousness and carried an indignant air of being insulted, which made the surrounding disciples waver.
Lin Xiao has always had an excellent image and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would suddenly steal the Silent Mirror.
So everyone actually believed what he said.
Receiving those suspicious glances, Wu Yuanzi snorted coldly and looked Lin Xiao up and down.
"I never expected you, Lin Xiao, to be such a despicable person who dares to do something but not admit it. I overestimated you in the past!"
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "You forcibly stole that silent mirror, and now you're turning around and slandering me. How laughable!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Song Wanning again, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Butterfly Dance landed in his hand.
"See? You're protecting him here, but he's already found another woman and fallen into a life of pleasure."
"He didn't even glance at you once throughout the entire ordeal. Are you sure you want to keep his secret?"
Wu Yuanzi brought his face very close, but deliberately spoke in a way that everyone could hear.
A hint of humility and sorrow flashed across Diewu's already pale face as she looked at Lin Xiao.
Her eyes filled with tears, hoping to hear Lin Xiao deny it.
But Lin Xiao coldly opened his mouth and said, "Hmph, she's just a fickle woman. Since she has already betrayed me, why should I care?"
Babies, my baby had a fever a couple of days ago, and I stayed up for several nights in a row, I'm exhausted...
The bad times are over. I hope 2026 will be a smooth and successful year for us all, with everything going well and going smoothly!
The holiday is over. Wishing everyone a successful year ahead, smooth sailing at work, and may we all make a fortune!
