Chapter 252: The Sect Leader is Imprisoned
"It is to curb the growth of demonic energy. It seems that the second elder's condition is not very good." Grandma Honghu quickly made a judgment on the lava blood pool, and then sighed.
"These imprisoned humans must have been monks before. They were used for some magical medicine experiment and became like this."
Lin Zhao's pupils shrank. Using monks for experiments? This is simply insane!
After watching a monster with only its head still showing some human form wailing silently in the cage, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what will happen if I let them out now?"
“If you want to die, let him go. There are monsters in here with combat power equivalent to that of the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even your master may not be able to stop them.” Grandma Honghu rejected Lin Zhao’s idea without any hesitation.
Then, Grandma Honghu changed the subject and said, "But you can still do something."
After hearing Grandma Honghu's instructions, Lin Zhao took Yun Fei to a corner and settled her down first. She then set up a silencing barrier for her before daring to leave.
She took out a jade bottle and obtained some liquid samples from the molten pool. Then she walked to the cage of a monster in the fusion period. After attracting the monster's attention with a spiritual fruit, Lin Zhao drew a tube of its blood.
Watching Lin Zhao finish taking the sample, Grandma Honghu said in a serious tone, "Using cultivators as experimental subjects, this evil technique has been banned in the alchemist world. I didn't expect that the Phoenix Medicine Sect actually has this tradition left behind."
The influence of this evil art on the world of alchemists is no less than the influence of monks falling into demons in the world of cultivation, and it is even more terrifying than the latter.
When a monk falls into the devil's ways, he kills and eats living things, and this kind of evil magic is simply a disaster for all living things.
"Has anyone used it to slow down the growth of demonic energy before?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not. Initially, this evil technique was used to help monks greatly improve their combat effectiveness, based on the blood sacrifice of spirit beasts."
Lin Zhao knew that in order to strengthen the physical bodies and cultivation of their disciples, many sects would capture some relatively powerful spirit beasts when they were very young, and use their bones and blood to turn into extremely precious body-tempering fluid to help the sect's talented disciples temper their bodies and improve their cultivation.
Although this secret method is bloody, it is very effective. However, the disciples who have used the blood sacrifice of spirit beasts are always easily influenced by the resentment and anger of those dead spirit beasts, thus becoming unstable in their Taoism.
Of course, if the disciple himself has a solid Tao heart and excellent talent, the blood sacrifice of the spirit beast will only be the icing on the cake.
But I didn't expect that there would be an alchemist who would use the blood sacrifice of spiritual beasts as samples and conduct such experiments on monks?
"Cannibalism..."
These four words appeared in Lin Zhao's mind, leaving her stunned for a long time.
Grandma Honghu sighed: "Using the murderous energy of the blood sacrifice to offset the growing demonic energy, thus slowing down the speed and manifestation of his own demonic possession. However, at this point, the Second Elder can no longer get rid of his desire for human flesh and blood."
Except for the skin that still makes him look like a human being, he has become a complete demon.
The ruler of the Phoenix Medicine Sect is a demon who eats human flesh and blood.
This was another piece of bad news. Lin Zhao couldn't help but say, "I really don't know what the Phoenix Medicine Sect went through back then to become like this."
"This is not something you can worry about. What you need to do now is to find out the truth of what happened and give that old guy an explanation. As for this old thing, did that little girl see it?"
Lin Zhao followed Grandma Honghu's instructions and looked at Yun Fei: "Master, do you want Yun Fei to call someone over?"
Grandma Honghu said, "Do you want to fight the Second Elder by yourself? Master, I can tell you that the old fellow has already passed the tribulation halfway."
Lin Zhao slapped his head and took a deep breath: "I know."
He was helpless in the Zuhuang Continent and couldn't find anyone to deal with the Second Elder. But it was different for Yun Fei, the little princess of the empire. If something happened to her here, the entire Phoenix Medicine Sect would not be able to bear it.
This is probably the reason why Yun Fei’s talent was not taken away after he came to the Phoenix Medicine Sect.
Sima Ling and the second elder's methods allow them to abuse their power in the Northwest Continent. If they really get into trouble with the royal family of the Zuhuang Empire, they will be more than capable of cleaning up the turmoil of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.
After knowing what was here, Lin Zhao lost his curiosity and was about to walk out with Yun Fei in his arms. But before he had taken a few steps, a hoarse voice came from his sea of consciousness.
"Save me, save me, and the Phoenix Medicine Sect will be yours!"
Lin Zhao paused, and looked down at the lava pool in doubt.
"Who are you? Why can you send sounds into my sea of consciousness?"
"You also practiced the Phoenix Vein Technique. Was it given to you by Cheng Hai?"
Lin Zhao probably figured out who the other person was and was in disbelief for a moment.
"Is the senior the head of the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"
"...Hehe, Master, it should be me. Back then, I was forced to expel Cheng from the sect, and then I was trapped under this blood pool as a sacrifice. I don't know how many years it has been."
As he said this, he was somewhat relieved and said, "But that bastard, did he think that he had won just because he had planned everything? I had already given the Phoenix Vein Art to Cheng kid to take away. I would never leave it to a monster like him with ulterior motives, even if I die!"
All of a sudden, the whole thing was clear to Lin Zhao. She said helplessly through her sea of consciousness, "But I'm only in the stage of falling in love now. I'm afraid I can't save you."
"It doesn't matter. You have more than one kind of things that can restrain evil spirits. As long as you can go down to the blood pool and help me break this evil chain, I will find a way to leave here."
Lin Zhao heard this and thought of something. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior can feel that I have practiced the Phoenix Vein Technique and can even communicate with me through it. Then can the Second Elder also do so?"
The voice fell into a long silence.
Lin Zhao understood and her face turned pale, but she remained calm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't worry, senior. I will definitely save you, but not now."
If she goes down now, she will alert the enemy. Her cultivation level is not enough to even fight against a person who is half a step away from tribulation.
The voice did not respond. Lin Zhao knew that the other party agreed. He then turned his gaze to Yun Fei and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I have this little ancestor."
Otherwise, there would be no breakthrough in this matter.
……
After bringing Yun Fei to his own cave, Lin Zhao dared to remove the invisibility talisman for both of them. Yun Fei, who had been in a daze, had her pupils dilated the moment she saw Lin Zhao's true face.
“You you you you…Lin Hui?!”
Lin Zhao nodded: "It's me. I disguised myself before."
Yun Fei gathered her thoughts and fixed her eyes on Lin Zhao's face: "You are so pretty, why are you pretending to be ugly?"
Lin Zhao noticed the girl's gaze and laughed helplessly. It turned out that this girl was obsessed with looks?
"This appearance can easily cause trouble." Lin Zhao said, "I'm not afraid of trouble, but I don't want to cause trouble. Besides, I have other plans, so I'm going to cover it up."
Yun Fei was reluctant to look away and asked, "You also saw the thing in the hole, what are you going to do?"
After Yun Fei finished saying this, she felt Lin Zhao looking at her with a sharp gaze, which made her feel uneasy: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, the things there may depend on you."
"I?"
