chapter-285
The underground chamber below was unlit and pitch black.
However, under Li Fan's spiritual consciousness, the interior was clear as day.
He flicked out a wisp of fire from his hand, igniting the candles that were already there.
As the candlelight flickered, Li Fan's expression gradually became serious.
In this small but not cramped space, a faceless stone statue stood against the wall.In the middle was a long, dark brown wooden table.
On the table, faint traces of dried blood could be seen.
At the corner of the table, there was a wooden box.
Li Fan opened the box and found inside it hammers, knives, nails, needles, and other tools of unknown use.
Along the walls were many transparent earthen jars.
Inside the jars, various strange-shaped organs were soaking in an unknown liquid.
In one corner, Li Fan also saw several sets of skeletal remains of young humanoids."Mr. Bai..."
Li Fan's expression was inexplicable as he continued to search the chamber.
In another corner of the wall, he found traces on the ground that were a little different from the rest.
His spiritual consciousness delved deeper underground.
There lay buried one, two...
Twenty-eight sets of skeletons.
Judging from their appearance, they were all beings similar to the "dogs" in the small temple, half-human and half-beast.
Apart from this, there was nothing else of value in the chamber.
Without rushing into action, Li Fan began to contemplate on the spot.
From the various items found in this secret chamber, it seemed that Mr. Bai's image as the "kindest person in the world" was being challenged.
But...
It couldn't be completely overturned yet.
While he was still just an ordinary mortal in Grand Xuan, he had judged countless cases.
Some of the cases that seemed straightforward often had hidden secrets.
Take the scene before him, for example.
It was possible that Mr. Bai was disguising himself very well.
On the surface, he appeared very kind, but in reality, he was an extremely evil person.
The buried skeletons were all victims of his hand.
Even the existence of the human-beast hybrids in Ningyuan City was caused by his proficiency in medicine.
And rescuing the orphans in the small temple was also for the convenience of selecting research subjects.
But it was also possible that Mr. Bai was not disguising himself.
The specimens and skeletons in the secret chamber were only used by him for medical research.
As someone who had transmigrated, Li Fan found this acceptable.
But it might be too shocking for the people of Ningyuan City.
He might have hidden in this underground chamber because it would be difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Both of these possibilities existed.
To determine the truth, Li Fan needed to verify it himself.
At present, it was almost certain that the owner of this space-time was "Mr. Bai" whom he had never met before.
Li Fan decided not to change his previous plan and first attempted to resolve the Longevity Fruit harvesting incident without harming any mortals.
After making up his mind, Li Fan focused his gaze on the somewhat broken stone statue.
It seemed that a long time had passed since the stone statue was born.
It bore the marks of time, no longer possessing its past sanctity.
The faceless face quietly met Li Fan's gaze.
"Such a large piece of stone is enough to create two or three sets of Absolute Immortal Stone nails."
Li Fan thought to himself.
He glanced at the wooden box in the middle, feeling quite satisfied.
"Hmm, very good, even the tools are prepared for me."
Without hesitation, Li Fan used his spiritual consciousness to manipulate the hammers, nails, knives, and other tools.
Clang clang clang.
Before long, dozens of slender Absolute Immortal Stone nails were crafted and placed one by one on the long table in the underground chamber.
"Next, I need to try whether the 'Immortal Spirit Sealing' technique can restrain Senior Brother Zhang."
"If it works..."
"Chu Liang and the others are just small fry. I can easily capture them with my Insect Binding Technique."
"As for Song Hesong, I can also handle him in the same way, using Absolute Immortal Stone needles to subdue him."
"Ah, this Absolute Immortal Stone can't be stored in my storage ring. I'll need to lure them here."
After some thought, Li Fan returned to the surface and placed the Absolute Immortal Stone slab into the underground chamber.
Then, he sent a message to Senior Brother Zhang.
"Senior Brother, come quickly, I've made a major discovery!"
Li Fan then returned to the underground chamber, extinguished the candles, and waited quietly for Senior Brother Zhang to arrive.
After a while, Zhang Qianmo's voice came from above, "Huh? Junior Brother, what did you find in this secret chamber?"
"So many skeletons..."
"Huh? Beast skeletons!?"
Upon noticing the beast skeletons in the secret chamber, Zhang Qianmo's tone instantly became heavy.
A hint of anger was evident.
He descended into the underground chamber.
"Senior Brother, look, there are not only many strange-looking skeletons here but also a mysterious stone statue."
"I wonder what its origin is."
In the darkness, Li Fan approached Zhang Qianmo slowly and pointed to the dilapidated stone statue.
As his spiritual consciousness couldn't scan the scene, Zhang Qianmo only noticed the faceless stone statue not far away when a ray of light came in from above.
His mind shook violently, and he exclaimed, "Xuantian Statue?"
Right at that moment, behind him, Li Fan suddenly thrust a slender stone needle into the position on his back corresponding to the dantian.
It pierced right through his body.
Zhang Qianmo let out a muffled grunt.
He hadn't expected his junior brother to secretly attack him.
Zhang Qianmo seemed to realize something, his expression changing drastically, and he turned around to counterattack.
However, the spiritual energy in his dantian stagnated for a moment, and his attempt to unleash the Purple Heaven Royal Thunder Technique was delayed.
In that instant, another stone needle fiercely pierced into his chest, through the danzhong acupoint.
Then, one after another.
A total of thirty-six Absolute Immortal Stone needles sealed all the vital acupoints around Zhang Qianmo's body.
His overall aura plummeted, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator now seemed as weak as an ordinary person.
"Immortal Spirit Sealing..."
"The remnants of the Xuantian Sect..."
Although captured, Zhang Qianmo's face showed little panic.
Instead, he stared at Li Fan and exclaimed with hatred, "You are not Junior Brother Li Chen!"
"What have you done to my junior brother?"
Li Fan hadn't expected the Absolute Immortal Stone needles to be so effective, easily subduing Senior Brother Zhang.
When he heard that he had been mistaken for some "remnant of the Xuantian Sect," Li Fan's heart was slightly moved.
Although he remained calm on the surface, he replied casually, "Senior brother, you seem confused. You can't even recognize me, your junior brother?"
Then, he recounted some memories from Li Chen that were only known to the two of them.
Zhang Qianmo's expression kept changing, filled with suspicion.
"Has my junior brother been soul searched? No, with the protection of the Purple Heaven Royal Thunder, he wouldn't fear soul-searching techniques..."
"Could it be..."
Zhang Qianmo's face darkened completely.
"I didn't expect you, my junior brother, to be a spy from the Xuantian Sect who infiltrated our Purple Heaven Sect from childhood?"
Li Fan was dumbfounded.
However, he noticed that Zhang Qianmo seemed confident and wasn't worried about his own situation.
Instead, he seemed to want to fish for information using this opportunity.
So, Li Fan decided to play along and cooperate with the act.
"Senior brother, you're kidding. I have no idea about any Xuantian Sect," Li Fan shrugged innocently.
"Have no idea?"
Zhang Qianmo sneered coldly.
"At this point, stop pretending."
"Hiding the Xuantian Statue, engaging in shady activities."
"Besides the remnants of the Xuantian Sect, who else could it be?"
"You've hidden yourself well over the years, Junior Brother."
