181: Acting, faking death
Lin Ruohan heard this and looked at Qin Tian doubtfully, "Can this really find the mastermind?"
Qin Tian nodded and said, "If this person is instructed by an outsider, once he confirms that you have died from poisoning, he will definitely send a message to inform the mastermind.
As long as a few of us cover the entire Sect with our Divine Sense and capture everyone who sends messages, the poisoner will definitely not escape, and we can also find the real mastermind."
Lin Ruohan felt that Qin Tian's analysis made some sense, and she nodded gently, "Okay, I'll let the Elders come in now."
Immediately, she waved her jade hand, and the secret chamber stone door slowly opened.
Outside the secret chamber.
Lin Tiannan and the other Elders were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, constantly looking at the secret chamber stone door.
"Brother Gray, there are still two hours until the five days are up.
Once the time comes, please step aside, otherwise, we will enter the secret chamber to check, even if it costs us everything!" Lin Tiannan frowned.
Gray Wu Chang sighed inwardly, "Master, please hurry up, I can't hold on any longer!"
Suddenly.
The secret chamber stone door slowly opened, and everyone looked towards the secret chamber.
A clear and pleasant voice came, a voice they were extremely familiar with.
"Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, please come in!"
"The Sect Master is awake!" Lin Tiannan exclaimed in shock.
"Quick! Let's go in quickly!"
Soon, everyone entered the secret chamber.
Gray Wu Chang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and followed them in.
As soon as Lin Tiannan entered the secret chamber, he saw Lin Ruohan with a rosy complexion and full of energy, not at all like someone who had been poisoned.
Moreover, judging by her spiritual energy fluctuations, it seemed to have increased significantly.
"Sect Master, has your poison been cured?" Lin Tiannan asked excitedly.
Lin Ruohan's pretty face flushed, and she nodded slightly.
"Hahaha! That's great! Heaven truly blesses our Tian Yuan Sword Sect!" The Second Elder laughed loudly.
"Indeed, this time, we owe it all to Young Master Qin! If not for him, the Sect Master wouldn't have recovered so quickly!" The Third Elder smiled.
Lin Ruohan heard this and glared fiercely at Qin Tian, cursing inwardly, "This scoundrel, although he cured her poison, he took her chastity and made her eat such disgusting things.
She wants to kill him just thinking about it now."
"Sect Master, your spiritual energy fluctuations seem to have increased a lot.
Have you had a Breakthrough?" Lin Tiannan asked, puzzled.
"That's right, I just broke through to the He-state Second Layer!" Lin Ruohan nodded.
"Hahaha! Good, good, good! Qin Tian, you are indeed the lucky star of our Tian Yuan Sword Sect! I didn't misjudge you!" Lin Tiannan patted Qin Tian's shoulder and laughed heartily.
He now looked at Qin Tian with increasing favor.
He didn't expect this person to not only have an extraordinary background but also be able to cure the Sect Master's poison and even help her break through to the He-state Second Layer.
"Alright! I called you in to discuss how to find the poisoner and thus find the mastermind!" Lin Ruohan's eyes turned cold as she spoke in a chilling voice.
"Sect Master, in the past month or so, I have already investigated all the Sect Disciples, but found no clues.
This might be a bit difficult!"
Lin Ruohan nodded gently, then looked at Gray Wu Chang, showing a wary expression.
She had been so focused on talking to everyone earlier that she hadn't noticed an outsider had also entered, and he was even a Returning Void Peak Stage expert.
"Who is he?" Lin Ruohan asked, pointing at Gray Wu Chang.
Gray Wu Chang heard this, quickly came before Lin Ruohan, and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Sect Master.
This old servant is Young Master Qin Tian's servant."
"What?"
"You are Qin Tian's servant?" Lin Ruohan was greatly shocked.
Her eyes looked at Qin Tian and Lin Qingxue, then at Lin Tiannan and the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hiss!"
Lin Ruohan gasped, "What kind of person is this Qin Tian? What is his identity? He actually has a Returning Void Peak Stage expert as a servant?
Then how powerful must his Family be? Will there be an Old Ancestor who is a Mahayana Realm expert?"
Their Tian Yuan Sword Sect, only she herself had broken through to the Combination Realm in recent years.
The Grand Elder was only at the Returning to Void Late Stage, and the Second Elder and Third Elder were only at the Returning to Void Initial Stage.
This was already the highest combat power of their Sect.
Qin Tian's casual servant had the Returning Void Peak Stage, how could this not surprise her?
Now, when she looked at Qin Tian, a sense of awe had unconsciously grown in her eyes.
"Alright, let's discuss how to find the mastermind! Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that this person won't poison again!" Qin Tian said with a smile.
Lin Ruohan came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and then used Divine Sense to transmit Qin Tian's idea to Lin Tiannan and the others.
Lin Tiannan heard this, showed a look of surprise and joy, and laughed, "Brilliant! Qin Tian, your plan is truly ingenious.
Why didn't I think of such a method before?"
"Alright, hurry up and make arrangements!" Lin Ruohan instructed.
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll go right away!"
Soon, Lin Tiannan and the others left the secret chamber.
...
Not long after, the bells of the Tian Yuan Sword Sect rang.
"Dong dong dong"
"What's going on? Why are the Sect bells ringing for no reason?" A Disciple asked, puzzled.
"Hurry to the Martial Arts Field to gather! Three rings of the bell mean an important announcement!" Another Disciple urged.
"Dong dong dong"
"Six rings of the bell, an Elder has fallen! Let's go quickly!"
"Dong dong dong"
"Ah! The Sect Master has fallen! How is that possible? How could the Sect Master fall?" A Disciple cried out mournfully.
Soon, the Disciples of the Tian Yuan Sword Sect heard nine rings of the bell and exploded into chaos.
Everyone was wailing mournfully, heartbroken, and they all put down what they were doing and rushed to the Martial Arts Field of the Tian Yuan Sword Sect.
In less than fifteen minutes, the Martial Arts Field of the Tian Yuan Sword Sect was filled with people.
Qin Tian's Divine Sense swept across, revealing over a thousand Disciples, ranging from Golden Core Realm to Soul Transformation Realm.
On the high platform of the Martial Arts Field, Lin Ruohan lay quietly in a crystal ice coffin.
Her face was black, clearly showing signs of death by poisoning.
Qin Tian held Lin Qingxue, concealed high in the sky, his Divine Sense extending wildly, monitoring everyone's every move.
Gray Wu Chang was concealed in another direction, his Divine Sense extended, monitoring the Disciples.
Lin Tiannan and the two Elders, seeing that everyone had arrived, raised their hands slightly, and the crowd below quickly quieted down.
Lin Tiannan spoke loudly to the Disciples below, "The Sect Master was poisoned by a villain and has now died from the poison.
However, the Sect cannot be without a leader.
After discussion among us Elders, this Elder will temporarily act as the Sect Master.
Once a suitable candidate for Sect Master is found, this Elder will abdicate!"
"Send the Sect Master's remains to the ancestral land in the back mountain for burial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several trusted subordinates carried the crystal ice coffin away.
Then, he and the two Elders flashed and disappeared, leaving behind a group of wailing Disciples, crying and lamenting in the Martial Arts Field.
Qin Tian, high in the sky, saw this scene and was slightly stunned, "I didn't expect Little Hanhan to be quite popular, huh?
So many people are crying for her death?"
"Sigh! If I were to die someday, I wonder how many people would cry for me!" Qin Tian sighed inwardly.
"No, I am the destined Great Villain.
I only get to kill others; how could I die myself? Even if I die, it can only be two words: die happily!"
In the Martial Arts Field, a clear-faced young girl's eyes shed two tears, showing pain.
Then, her expression gradually became resolute.
