141: The mastermind behind this is actually the Demon Tribe’s High Priest! ?

In Room 3 of Changyue Restaurant, Heaven Grade.

"Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan..."

Watching Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan speak those words on the screen, Lin Sheng merely smiled faintly.

Information about this character naturally surfaced in his mind.

Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan, Overlord Sect Vice Cult Leader.

Although his cultivation was only at True Immortal First Layer, he was the strategic mastermind of the Overlord Sect.

Without his plotting and policy-making, with the wooden heads of Wang Shijie and the other cult members, it would have been impossible to develop the Overlord Sect to a scale of millions of members in just five years.

His public identity was the Deputy City Lord of Cloud City, and the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Zhang Family, one of the Nine Great Immortal Families. Due to being constrained by the Zhang Family's various rules during his childhood and experiencing a tragic youth, darkness grew in his heart.

He was a strong proponent of the Overlord Sect's doctrine.

"He's a smart person, but his strength is too weak."

Lin Sheng didn't take Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan seriously at all.

In the image.

Wang Shijie fell into thought after hearing Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan say this.

"Find their common points?"

Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan stepped forward two paces, walking directly in front of Fang Yuan.

Looking at the young man tied to the ground, who seemed to be in an 'abnormal state', a wicked smile traced his handsome face: "Yes."

"Based on what I've discovered so far."

"One, they are all young people around twenty years old."

"Two, they are all Heaven's Chosen, with excellent bone structure and comprehension."

"Three, their origins are all unusual. Young Master of the Ye Family, Young Master of the Li Family, Sword God's successor, naturally born Immortal... Besides these four known to the world, there seem to be some others."

"Based on these three common points, I can roughly conclude that there must be some hidden enemy targeting them!"

"The goal should be to eliminate these excellent future Human Clan members!"

Hearing Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan say this.

Wang Shijie pondered slightly: "So... you think the Demon Clan is behind this?"

"Yes!"

Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan nodded vigorously: "Actually, originally I linked it to the First Prodigy, Golden Dragon Holy Son, because he only recently rose against the heavens, and this situation only appeared recently."

"However, I really can't find any relationship between them. The Holy Son and most of the other Heaven's Chosen don't know each other at all, and there's no benefit relationship between them either."

"Even so, I've always remained suspicious..."

"Until!"

Hearing the crucial point.

Wang Shijie and the other cult members, and even Fang Yuan, who was tied to the ground, focused their attention.

Is the real culprit about to be revealed!?

Seeing everyone's attentive expressions, Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan felt smug, and a triumphant smile finally appeared on his face: "Until today, I saw the Demon Clan Great Priest who should have died, but is astonishingly still alive!"

"If my guess is correct, he is the one pulling the strings behind all this!"

"He successfully influenced several Heaven's Chosen. The Golden Dragon Holy Son, who was originally the First Prodigy, should have also been his target, but the Golden Dragon Holy Son's willpower was too strong and he successfully resisted him multiple times."

"Therefore, this Great Priest became furious and risked exposure just to kill the First Prodigy, Golden Dragon Holy Son."

"However, he was scared away by some powerful being, which led to the failure of the operation!"

At this point, Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan paused.

Seeing everyone's expressions of sudden realization, he smiled slightly and added with firm eyes: "I think my speculation is largely correct."

"Legend says."

"The Demon Clan Great Priest possesses the dark power to bewitch people's hearts. According to records, he once bewitched dozens of Immortal Venerables from various races in a single night!"

"Therefore! He has full reason and full strength to do these things!"

To be fair.

What Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan said was about eighty to ninety percent reasonable.

If Lin Sheng had amnesia, he would probably also think that if there was a mastermind, that mastermind was very likely the Demon Clan Great Priest.

"Hiss..."

Lin Sheng stroked his chin, a strange expression on his face: "I didn't expect that sudden attack by the Demon Clan Great Priest actually helped me out."

He believed.

Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan was not the only person in this world who thought this way.

But no matter what, after the Demon Clan Great Priest appeared, he had become his best scapegoat!

Coincidentally.

In the historical records of the three races, the Demon Clan Great Priest was indeed described as a demon who was good at bewitching people's hearts and manipulating thoughts.

"Whatever."

Suddenly, everyone saw Fang Yuan shaking his head and speaking: "Regardless of whether I was influenced by the Demon Clan Great Priest or not, anyway, I have now decided to join your evil cult."

"I'm already one of you, so stop tying me up and untie me."

The rope tied around him was not ordinary.

Its name was Immortal Restraining Rope, as the name suggests, it could even restrain Immortals. (Limited to Sansian realm and below)

Let alone Fang Yuan, who was only at the Earth Spirit realm.

Seeing this.

Wang Shijie sneered and said: "Joining our cult requires swallowing toad black worms. After swallowing them, toad tattoos will appear on your body and can never be removed. If you swallow them, I will immediately untie you."

"I sincerely join your esteemed cult, yet you still don't trust me?"

Fang Yuan sighed, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Fine, come on, whether it's one or two, or ten or a hundred, I'll swallow them for you to see!"

"To prove my determination to join your esteemed cult!"

These words.

Made the surrounding cult members and even the others who were imprisoned together feel Fang Yuan's strong desire to join the cult.

[Collapse Value +50]

And made Wang Shijie's face light up with joy.

"Good!"

"To be honest, the more of these black worms you eat, the better."

"Since you've said so, someone! Bring a hundred toad black worms!"

Fang Yuan's face stiffened slightly.

But the words he had spoken, no matter how much resentment he felt, he had to see them through.

When a hundred toad black worms were brought before him, looking at the wriggling black worms one by one, Fang Yuan instantly felt nauseous.

"What? Scared?" Wang Shijie raised his eyebrows.

"They just look scary, how could I be scared!"

Fang Yuan hardened his heart, grabbed a black worm, opened his mouth wide, and stuffed it in.

A strong stench rushed at him.

Gulp!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Fang Yuan wiped the black liquid from the corner of his mouth, looking at his blackened sleeve with disgust. He couldn't help but ask: "What exactly are these toad black worms? Why do they taste so disgusting?"

Wang Shijie was about to answer.

But Vice Leader Zhang Beixuan, who was beside him, pulled him back and smiled at Fang Yuan: "They are good things that can increase spiritual power."
