Chapter 78: The leader's confidant, Chu Ge is suspected Hengzhou, Dalin City. The mountains are undulating and the forest is vast. In the middle of the green forest, there is a place with green peaks on all sides and towering hills on both sides. This is a secret entrance to the Yellow Turban Sect's branch in Hengzhou. At this time, a piece of urgent information passed through many checkpoints, was delivered to the entrance of the altar, and was quickly handed over to the master of the branch altar. But this man had a thin and handsome appearance, with sharp eyes, a broad back and strong arms, and seemed rough but delicate. His eyes scanned the intelligence information intently, not wanting to miss any detail. Then he unfolded another portrait. The moment he saw the face of the man in the portrait, he suddenly grinned and chuckled. "I didn't expect that at this moment, there would be heroes pretending to be members of our Yellow Turban Sect."
"Master, should we send someone to investigate and find this person?" A subordinate suddenly stepped forward and said. "No need!" The leader of the altar, Jiao Yongji, smiled faintly, his eyes bright and he said, "Since such a righteous man is willing to act under the name of my Yellow Turban Sect, this is a good thing! Pass my order down and publicize to the outside world that the affairs of the Lin family in Jiangcheng Prefecture were the work of Jiao Yongji, the leader of my Hengzhou branch. This person is a confidant secretly cultivated by Jiao Yongji. Let other branches learn from this, too!" The subordinate's eyes lit up and he immediately complimented him on his cleverness. Jiao Yongji waved his hand, dismissed his subordinates, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and muttered. "I have already struck the first blow! Gentlemen, how do you react?" His thoughts involuntarily flew back to the scene in the past when he was waiting for instructions from his superiors at the headquarters. That day, a mysterious man sat high up in the VIP room, his figure and features were hidden by a bamboo curtain, so he could not be seen clearly. He once ordered the chief leader to instruct the Yellow Turban Sect to cooperate in provoking a war. The head of the sect was respectful and asked, "Who do you want to fight?" The mysterious man spoke slowly but firmly and confidently, "Everyone!" Everyone, does that mean the whole world? No place is immune. Thinking back on this scene now, Jiao Yongji still can't hide the shock in his heart. Since then, there has been a slogan passed down from mouth to mouth among the Yellow Turbans - The Great Zhou will be destroyed, the Yellow Turbans will be established, their achievements will last for thousands of years, and the world will be blessed! Lin. With a crisp "pop" sound, the porcelain bottle broke and water splashed out. A porcelain wine pot with gold-painted patterns was smashed to the ground by Lin Tao, and the wine splashed everywhere. The aroma of wine instantly filled the room.
"Who? Who leaked the news? If I find out, I will skin him alive!" Lin Tao stared with eyes filled with anger, his pupils almost popping out, and gnashed his teeth. All the servants and guests around, including many direct and collateral descendants of the Lin family who had returned, were silent. I just felt that the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull and depressing, full of the intimidation of a strong man in the Condensation Realm, which made me feel uneasy. Lin Zhenyuan of the Lin family has more than one son, Lin Tao. But in terms of status and power, it is obvious that Lin Tao, who has entered the state of condensed energy and is highly expected, is the only one in his class, and the other disciples dare not disobey him. Lin Tao's anger at this time was not without reason. His father Lin Zhenyuan had been injured by the poisonous claws after fighting with the corpse-driving master. In addition, the family's magic weapon was lost, and he was busy searching for it in the past few days, causing his injuries to worsen, and the corpse poison has begun to invade his internal organs. Once this news spread, coupled with the loss of the Lin family's magic weapon, it gave people a feeling that the Lin family was about to fall, and it would be strange if there was no chaos under the family. The person who could pass on this kind of information must be one of the Lin family's most trusted confidants, and must have ulterior motives. Soon, all the middle and senior management of the Lin family, including the guests who had been away from home, entered the huge meeting room. Lin Tao glanced around sharply and immediately found that there were two people missing, and he couldn't help but growl. "Where are Gong Mingxue and Le Fei?" Steward Lin Yun's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said nervously, "Master, these two guests have not returned since they went out to perform the search mission two days ago as ordered!" "Bastard!" Lin Tao shouted angrily, his face grim, realizing that something was wrong. There are two possibilities for the two men's absence. One is that they really found the person who took the magic weapon and then killed him. Second, both of them defected. In Lin Tao's mind, the possibility of the former happening is very small, and the latter is very likely. This is because these two people are also controlled by the Sun and Moon Wheels, and they are both outstanding talents with spiritual qualifications. Ever since a group of guest officials died four days ago, these two are the only blood-exchanging warriors in the Lin family who are controlled by the Sun and Moon Wheel. But now that both of them are missing, the meaning is self-evident. Lin Tao suppressed his anger and calmed his emotions. He began to take charge of the situation on behalf of his father and asked many returning people about any suspicious clues. In the end, nothing was achieved. At this point, Lin Tao already knew that if the person who took away the magic weapon was really a bandit from the Yellow Turban Sect, the hope of recovering the magic weapon, the Sun and Moon Wheel, was slim. He was filled with resentment and anger. Without the Sun and Moon Wheel, it would mean that he would never be able to break through and enter the Spirit God Realm in the future. He had questioned the family witnesses in detail about the accent of the Yellow Turban bandit.
But the other party was obviously concealing something, and it was impossible to tell where he was from. However, apart from the Yellow Turban bandits, there must be a traitor in the family. After all, judging from the other party's move of heading straight for such an important place as the family's sacred weapon, he had already made preparations in advance. "Whether it's the master of the Corpse Driving Sect or the Yellow Turban bandit, it's impossible for them to attack Huanglong without knowing the information about my Lin family. Who is the traitor? Who betrayed me?" At this time, Lin Tao dismissed most of the people and sat at the table, thinking back to many things that had happened in recent days and carefully considering every suspicious person in the family. The two escaped guest officials were obviously not among them. Because these two people had been controlled by the Sun and Moon Wheel before, and they only defected after the incident happened. Apart from that, the other family members are now all within the family, and he doesn't see any problems. “It seems that since I came back from the sect and started to take action against Chu Feixue’s brother Chu Ge, everything has gone wrong!” Lin Tao rubbed his brows and muttered. "Is this brat a disaster? Where did he go after he escaped that day?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yun stepped forward and reminded, "Master, according to reports from my spies, Master Chu and Chu Zhenchuan appeared in the Evil Suppression Division three days ago. I later investigated and found that Chu Ge wanted to join the Evil Suppression Division! I wanted to report to you, but you were busy at the time." "He wants to join the Evil Suppression Division? This bastard, after receiving so many benefits from me, actually switched to the Evil Suppression Division?!" Lin Tao's heart suddenly became furious. "Should we inform the people over there?" Lin Yun asked tentatively. Lin Tao suddenly narrowed his eyes, calmed down, and snorted, "Forget it. Now my Lin family is in decline. We still need the help of Lord Xu from the Evil Suppression Division to find the magic weapon. We must not offend him rashly. The last time my father and I left in the face of battle, he was already unhappy." Suddenly, his mind flashed through his past experiences with Chu Ge, and his brows furrowed. "That boy, has he been pretending to play tricks on me?" "Why did my Lin family become so unlucky after he came to my family? The master of the corpse-driving sect once said to hand over the spirit." "Also, according to what Lord Xu said, this person from the Yun family has also visited us before, and he also mentioned handing over the spirit!" Lin Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, so bright that they were somewhat intimidating, and he looked at Lin Yun, "When Chu Ge was tested for spiritual aptitude at the Yun family, was there anything suspicious?" "This" Lin Yun was stunned and thought, "He refused to be tested that day, but was willing to be tested afterwards. This is the only thing that is suspicious." Lin Tao narrowed his eyes, "Has he shown any suspicious behavior since he came to my Lin family? Has he ever entered the main residence area or approached the sacred weapon area?" Lin Yun suddenly felt as if a brick had been thrown into his heart. He widened his eyes and asked, "Master, could it be?" "Say!" "He, he entered the main house. I was the one who brought him in, but he didn't get close to the sacred weapon area!"
"Ugh! Why didn't you report this to me? When did it happen?" "Master." Lin Yun knelt on the ground in fear. "That kid asked me to tell you to ask for the Blood-Enhancing and Marrow-Cleansing Pill. You had just finished your training at that time, so I didn't dare to disturb you rashly, so I didn't report it." Lin Tao shouted angrily and smashed the Eight Immortals Table with one palm, and wood chips flew in all directions along with the energy. He stood up and paced around the room, his brain working at high speed. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, and I suddenly remembered the Yellow Turban thug with a weathered face and chivalrous spirit. I seemed to have some impression of him before. He frowned and thought carefully, and the figure he saw in Lingbao Pavilion in the past gradually emerged in his mind. And that day was the time when he went to Lingbao Pavilion to pick up Chu Ge. "What a coincidence!?" Lin Tao paused, his eyes sharp. Just one day before the corpse-driving sect invaded the family, Chu Ge entered the main house. Just one day before the corpse-driving sect invaded the Yun family, Chu Ge also went to the Yun family. Just before the night when the corpse-driving sect came to kill us. Chu Ge once quietly left the Lin family and shook off the people he sent to monitor and follow. And on the day when he went to pick up Chu Ge, the figure of the Yellow Turban gangster happened to appear in Lingbao Pavilion. Regardless of whether all these clues indicate that Chu Ge, a small mortal warrior, has done anything, this person is already a certain suspicion. But soon, Lin Tao gradually calmed down. He believed that even if Chu Ge had any suspicion, with this boy's strength, it would be impossible for him to take away the magic weapon and cut off the connection with it. At most, he could be an accomplice who was gathering intelligence. At this moment, even if he was extremely angry, he could not lose his composure and alert the enemy. "Keep keeping an eye on Chu Ge, he is a big suspect." "Master, why don't you inform the Evil Suppression Department of the news and ask for a joint investigation?" "No! He is only a suspect at the moment. This information must be kept secret. The more people know about it, the more trouble it will cause. The current situation is chaotic, and many people are looking at my Lin family in trouble, and they wish we would lose the magic weapon. There are also people from other families in the evil suppression department, and there are ghosts. I don't believe any of them." Lin Tao gave orders and suddenly waved his hand, his eyes sharp as he said, "Forget it, this is about the family's magic weapon, I will personally watch it this time to avoid being noticed by Chu Feixue."
