Chapter 506 Counterattack
Chapter 506 Counterattack
It has always been impossible to reach the sect directly from the teleportation array that enters the secret realm from the outside.
Just like when Tian Lin and others flew to Nanzhou to the Goddess Sect, although there was a teleportation array in the Goddess Sect, it was rarely used.
The purpose of this move is naturally to prevent enemies outside from directly entering the sect through the teleportation array.
Therefore, the teleportation array set up outside the Dao Sect does not directly connect the peaks. Instead, it is a killing array, which is intended to strangle the enemy nearby when the enemy breaks in.
Tian Lin didn't know why the young man holding the soul flag in front of him was hostile to him, but what he said seemed to make sense.
So Tian Lin did not refute, he said: "Okay, then please verify my identity."
After saying that, Tian Lin raised his hand and threw the badge on his waist to the young man with the soul flag over there.
The Soul Banner youth raised his hand to take the ID card, but threw it on the ground without even looking at it: "The ID card itself doesn't mean anything. Who knows if some evil spirit picked up Senior Brother Tian's ID card?"
Mei Xiangu was already furious, pointing at the young man and saying, "You don't believe in the ID card, so how do you want to verify your identity?"
The Soul Banner youth smiled, looked at Mei Xiangu's curvy figure and said, "Of course I'll search her body."
He did not hide the evil attitude on his face at all, but the more he did so, the more Tian Lin knew that this young man had someone to rely on.
Tian Lin stopped Mei Xiangu who was about to charge forward, and sent a message to Mei Xiangu: "This man is not a fool, I think he is not afraid of being defeated by us."
After transmitting the message, Tian Lin said to the young man with the soul flag over there: "Okay, I'll test it for you!"
"You test him, but I won't test him. Let's see what he can do to me!"
After Mei Xiangu finished speaking, she took two steps to the side.
The young man with the Soul Banner flew close to Tian Lin and raised his hand to touch Tian Lin's clothes.
But when he reached out his hand, Tian Lin grabbed his wrist with his backhand.
The young man's face changed and he reached out to touch the badge on his waist again.
He moved quickly, and Tian Lin wasn't slow either, snatching the sign away with his backhand.
The young man anxiously shouted to the young student over there: "Junior brother, the man surnamed Tian has taken my formation plate, please save me."
Tian Lin touched the formation plate and threw it to Mei Xiangu. Then he looked at the young man with the soul flag and said with a smile: "So you also know my last name is Tian, and you know that I am not a fake evil spirit? Then why are you targeting me for no reason?"
The young man said nothing, so Tian Lin said, "Now that you have verified my identity, do you know who I am?"
Now that he was at the mercy of others, the young man with the soul flag knew that he could not threaten Tian Lin, so he nodded and said, "I already know that Senior Brother Tian and Senior Sister Mei are not transformed by evil spirits."
Tian Lin said: "Now you have verified our identities, but we have not verified yours yet."
The young man was stunned and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?"
“You yourself said that this is a secret place, and it is easy for evil spirits to disguise themselves and sneak into the sect.
Now that we are in a secret place, how can I know if you are a disguised evil spirit to deceive me and Senior Sister Mei?"
The young man's face flushed instantly, but he couldn't say that Tian Lin was deliberately making things difficult for him, because Tian Lin's reasons were all what he had said himself.
"Okay, then I'll let you verify your identity."
Tian Lin asked him his name and hometown, and only learned that his surname was Tang and he was a member of the Tang family's side branch.
Tian Lin asked him again why he was targeting him, but the young man refused to say a word.
Even if the Tang family is at odds with me, this is still an account between me and the direct lineage! Why would a collateral descendant, who is a marginal figure, want to offend me for no reason?
Tian Lin thought for a moment, then suddenly asked him, "Do you know Tang Chuchu?"
The young man was stunned and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know any Tang Chuchu."
Tian Lin laughed when he heard this.
Mei Xiangu said angrily, "How could you, a disciple of the Tang family, not recognize Tang Chuchu? You can't even lie!"
Seeing that he was discovered, the young man simply threw in a tantrum: "So what? The best you can do is arrest me and take me to the sect. I will just be locked up for a few years--"
Tian Lin laughed when he heard this and said, "You are an evil spirit pretending to be a disciple of the Tang family. Why would we take you back to the sect?"
Seeing the murderous intent in Tian Lin's eyes, the young man's face changed drastically and said, "I am indeed a disciple of the Tang family, and I am indeed not a demon in disguise. Otherwise, how could I have a formation plate and appear here?"
"Just like having a waist badge doesn't necessarily mean you are Tian Lin - having a formation plate doesn't mean you are the sect disciple guarding this place."
As he spoke, Tian Lin had already exerted his strength, and the young man's neck began to be compressed.
The young man knew that Tian Lin was really going to kill him, so he didn't dare to act as arrogantly as before, and hurriedly shouted: "It was Tang Chuchu who asked me to kill you. If you want to settle the score with her, I can testify for you."
This was naturally a delaying tactic. How could Tian Lin possibly believe it?
Although he had intended to kill the young man, he was not in a position to do so directly.
But after the young man said this, Tian Lin acted decisively and quickly.
He slapped the young man to death with one palm, and before the young man's soul could fly away, Tian Lin casually waved the soul flag on the ground. It was originally the young man's magic weapon, but now it has collected the young man's soul into the soul flag.
Tian Lin swept his spiritual consciousness inside the soul flag and discovered that although the young man was a Jindan cultivator, the soul in the soul flag was as large as the population of a county town.
A small portion of these souls came from the secret realm, but most of them seemed to be ordinary people in the Northern Wilderness.
Tian Lin threw the soul flag into Yu'er's hand, and then said to Qing Xue, who had a pale face:
"Junior Brother Qingxue also saw it just now. An evil spirit killed Junior Brother Tang and pretended to be him to frame Miss Tang Chuchu. Fortunately, his lies were discovered by me, so Miss Tang Chuchu's reputation was not damaged, and my sect was not infiltrated by the evil spirit."
Qingxue opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, a beam of light appeared in the distance, and judging from its aura, it was obviously at the Nascent Soul stage.
The Nascent Soul expert soon appeared in front of Tian Lin and the others and asked them, "I saw that the soul lamp of the gatekeeper had gone out, so I came here. What happened? Did an evil spirit break in?"
Tian Lin repeated what he had said before, and the elder said angrily: "Who would believe your nonsense? If the gatekeeper had been killed by the evil spirit long ago, how could I know about it now?"
Tian Lin said calmly, "But if he is not an evil spirit, could it be that what he said is true? Miss Tang Chuchu, do you really dare to violate the sect rules and kill a true disciple? If so, according to the sect rules, your clan will be exterminated."
The Yuanying elder was immediately speechless. He knew that Tian Lin was pretending to be ignorant.
But whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused, this Yuanying elder did not want to get involved in this mess: "You don't have to compete with me with your verbal skills! Is this kid from the Tang family an evil spirit? Bring his body back first, and the sect will naturally have a public opinion."
After he finished speaking, he ordered Qingxue to continue guarding the place, while he took Tian Lin, Meixiangu Cui'er and others to fly towards the distant town.
On the way, Mei Xiangu couldn't help but whisper to Tian Lin, "This Tang Chuchu is really quick to act. We've only been fighting him for an hour, and he's already arranged a killer so quickly?"
Tian Lin smiled and said, "This woman will not wait until the next day to take revenge - but she made a hasty move and we found a flaw. I think after this incident, she will not dare to stir up trouble openly again."
Tian Lin then frowned again and said, "But if this happens, I'm afraid she will vent all her anger on Senior Brother Ju Yunhai."
