74: Game between the two sides

No one expected Lin Xianlong to die in the room. Lin Kai suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Luo at the door, his face like frost, and said coldly, "What exactly happened?"

Zhou Luo, with a face full of grief, explained the whole story.

It turned out that through comprehensive investigation, he determined that the other party's constitution was special and wanted to take other antidote Pills he had refined earlier.

But unexpectedly, this antidote Pill actually reacted with the poison in his body, ultimately causing the tragedy.

Facing this answer, Lin Kai was not satisfied. He looked at Lin Xuanfeng, wanting to wait for him to speak.

But Lin Xuanfeng seemed completely unresponsive to all of this. No expression could be seen on his gloomy face, nor did he have any intention of speaking.

Helpless, Lin Kai could only say, "You guys come and take a look."

The three Alchemists also didn't expect such a result. They looked at each other. One of the older Alchemists stepped forward, placed his right hand on Lin Xianlong's pulse, and began to investigate.

A faint spiritual light flashed, and a wisp of light green spiritual energy surged into his body, causing his whole body to emit a green glow.

A few minutes later, a layer of sweat beads appeared on the Alchemist's forehead. He withdrew his right hand and said helplessly, "There are indeed signs of taking Pills, and he should have died from poisoning."

Zhou Luo sat at the door, still wearing a self-blaming expression, but his heart was extremely calm.

Because he knew that with just them, it was impossible to detect the existence of that First-Order Pill top-grade poison. Even if Lin Zhishou were present, it would be impossible.

Because this poison Pill was something he had carefully refined earlier, originally intended as a trump card for survival. Its toxicity was only slightly less than Bone Erosion Powder. Only a Second-Order Alchemist or a First Order top-grade poison master could possibly detect it.

At present, that Alchemist only knew that the other party had died from poisoning.

And this precisely confirmed Zhou Luo's statement.

Lin Kai was very dissatisfied with this answer.

His gaze was deep, and he said sternly, "What do you mean 'should'?"

The Alchemist had an awkward expression and could only say that he couldn't see it either.

If he couldn't see it, the remaining two Alchemists were even less likely to.

Lin Kai's face turned livid instantly. He stared at Zhou Luo at the door and said angrily, "You kill him, according to the Family rules, you must also die."

Zhou Luo immediately panicked and quickly said, "Lord Lin, this was an accident. I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"If it's just an experiment, no one knows the outcome. I am innocent."

"Moreover, I already know the principle of the poison. Next, I can definitely refine the antidote. You must give me a chance."

His voice was trembling, and his face also showed a look of fear due to impending Death.

Lin Kai still wanted to speak, preparing to take the opportunity to get rid of this trouble.

Just then, Lin Xuanfeng, who had been silent all along, said calmly, "This is your last chance."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you Ninth Elder for your generosity. Please rest assured, I will definitely succeed." Zhou Luo looked relieved, constantly thanking Lin Xuanfeng, his posture as humble as could be.

"Ninth Elder, but..."

Lin Kai still wanted to say something, but facing those cold and sharp eyes, he was instantly speechless and respectfully lowered his head.

"Take the body away." After Lin Xuanfeng finished speaking, he left the room.

Lin Kai's face was extremely grim. He walked up to Zhou Luo and whispered, "I don't know what tricks you're playing, but I'm telling you, it's all meaningless."

Zhou Luo lowered his head, his posture respectful, and didn't say a word.

Soon, Lin Kai called his subordinates to take Lin Xianlong's body away, while Zhou Luo and the three Alchemists were sent to his original room to begin refining the antidote Pill.

At the same Time, the outside of his room was heavily guarded.

On the way to the pavilion down the mountain, Lin Kai looked at the figure ahead, couldn't help but quicken his pace, walked forward, and gently asked, "Ninth Elder, I don't understand why you didn't take the opportunity to execute him."

Lin Xuanfeng walked calmly, and said slowly, "Why should he be executed?"

"He kill Lin Xianlong, and he might also know that secret," Lin Kai said in a low voice.

"So why kill him?" Lin Xuanfeng retorted.

Lin Kai was stunned on the spot, completely unable to guess what this Law Enforcement Hall Hall Master was thinking.

Lin Xuanfeng didn't continue to explain, only ordered, "Seal the body properly, I will bring it back to the Zhou Family."

"Yes." Lin Kai accepted the order.

All the way to the pavilion down the mountain, Lin Xuanfeng came alone to Lin Tianfang's room.

"How is it?"

Lin Tianfang was reading an ancient book. Seeing the other party arrive, he looked up and asked.

"Lin Xianlong is dead," Lin Xuanfeng said calmly.

"What?" Lin Tianfang's voice rose, full of surprise.

Then Lin Xuanfeng told the other party what had just happened.

After listening, Lin Tianfang fell into contemplation.

"Did Zhou Luo poison him to Death?"

Suddenly, he said out of the blue.

"I don't know, but I don't think it's important," Lin Xuanfeng said.

"Indeed, then does he know the secret of the Spirit Mine?"

As he asked this, a solemn expression appeared on Lin Tianfang's face, and a faint killing intent even surfaced in his eyes.

"I'm not sure, but I'm more inclined to believe he doesn't know yet," Lin Xuanfeng said.

As everyone knows, Lin Xianlong was the Great Elder's man. Now that he is dead, if Zhou Luo had truly completely sided with the Great Elder, it would be impossible for him to let him break his own arm in the Spirit Mine.

Whether Zhou Luo was intentional or not, Lin Xianlong's Death proves that his stance is not as firm as imagined.

Since he is not firm, why not try to win him over?

After all, the other party's Pill Refining talent is there. If it weren't for the other party standing on the Great Elder's side, the Main Family wouldn't have had killing intent.

Lin Tianfang understood his meaning, but hesitated and said, "But what if he knows the secret of the Spirit Mine?"

Such a significant secret, of course, means it's better to kill the wrong person than let one escape.

"We still have Time to observe. What we should be looking at now is the Great Elder's attitude," Lin Xuanfeng said calmly.

Zhou Luo still has to stay in the Spirit Mine for nearly a month. Whether it's to make him side with the Main Family or to confirm that he doesn't know that secret, there is ample Time.

What needs to be done now is to report this matter back to the Zhou Family and let the Great Elder know.

After all, Lin Xianlong was the Great Elder's man. Now that he is dead, and killed by Zhou Luo, the Great Elder will definitely have doubts in his heart and will guess whether Zhou Luo has already sided with the Main Family.

In that case, it gives them a chance to win him over.

"What if everything was arranged by the Great Elder?" Lin Tianfang retorted.

The Great Elder is cunning and resourceful. Perhaps everything is within his calculations.

"That's why we need to see what decision he makes." A spiritual light flickered in Lin Xuanfeng's deep and sharp eyes, as if he had already planned the next steps.

Lin Tianfang didn't say anything more about this.

Because he recognized Lin Xuanfeng's ability. When it came to planning and scheming, on the Main Family's side, only the Family Head and he could contend with the Great Elder.

"Then let's stop here with this matter." Lin Tianfang finally set the tone for this poisoning incident.
