Chapter 127 Letter To Tan Kun
Chapter 127 Letter To Tan Kun
Lin Zhi smirked and looked at Lin Fan.
She wanted to step forward, but she couldn't. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
"What's happening..."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you if you answer my questions."
Lin Fan said.
He was using the Decurion Leader Ability to control Lin Zhi's movement.
As the candlelight in the room swayed, Lin Zhi's shadow danced anxiously on the wall.
"Where do they send and store the messages?"
Lin Fan asked, and Lin Zhi's hands rose up with her fingers pointing to her eyes.
Her eyes opened wide in fear and said, "Messages? I don't know anything about that."
Next, she saw her fingers inching closer and closer.
Then finally, pain ran through her body.
She tried to scream but couldn't.
"Here's your last chance. Tell me the answer now. There are worse things I can do to you."
Lin Fan said and stared at Lin Zhi.
"I don't know anything about messages, but the Lotus Leader sometimes carries a bag to the building up the Plateau.
"There's a path leading up to the plateau ahead from these living quarters."
Under the pain and stress, Lin Zhi divulged to Lin Fan everything she knew.
"Thanks for your cooperation," Lin Fan said and left the room.
Lin Zhi tried to move but couldn't.
Slowly, she lay down on the bed and her hands moved onto her neck.
With intense force, she strangled herself.
Bit by bit, her consciousness slowly faded away due to the lack of oxygen.
Finally, she looked as if she were asleep on the bed.
"The Lotus Leader carries a bag up into the plateau. We need to sneak our way up."
Lin Fan entered the room where Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun were and briefed them.
Hun Yen Kun nodded and said, "Take your pills now. If there are any unforeseen circumstances, exercise your own judgment."
Everyone took out a pill from the white bottle and swallowed it.
Immediately, the invisible lock on Lin Fan's dantian disappeared, and he could feel his Qi again.
He quickly used the Qi to replenish his energy, which was slightly depleted from using the Decurion Leader on Lin Zhi.
The three of them quickly sneaked outside the living quarters.
Lin Fan scanned the area and saw that the path leading up to the plateau was heavily guarded.
They needed a distraction.
"Yeah, the Dark Lord..."
Some of the sect members who took the pills were still lying on the ground.
High and incoherent from the effects of the pills.
Which was perfect for Lin Fan.
"Pills. I want more pills."
Those lying on the ground suddenly stood up, screaming at the top of their lungs for pills.
Lin Fan had used his Decurion Leader ability on them.
This agitated the guards nearby.
They drew out their swords and warned them to keep quiet.
But it didn't work.
"I want pills! Give them to me now."
They ran up to one of the guards, and the guard slashed at the person nearest to him.
"Argh!" The person fell, and the rest of them swarmed over the guard.
"Let go of me! Help me, you idiot!" The guard shouted as he struggled to break free.
The other guards went up and slashed at the horde.
"Pills. They have pills on them."
One of the sect members found pills on the guard, turned, and showed them to the others.
The rest of the sect members who were lying down stood up and joined in the frenzy.
Even those in the living quarters came out and joined.
As more joined and guards went down, they found more pills.
The riot escalated into a frenzy.
"What do you think you are doing!" Guards quickly streamed down from the path.
They were reinforcements sent to suppress the riot.
A few moments later, Lin Fan saw that no more guards were coming down from the path.
It was now or never.
"Come, let's make a move," Lin Fan said, and the three of them sneaked their way up the path.
The coast was clear, and they reached the plateau without encountering anyone.
On the plateau was a temple painted black.
Where stone lions would normally be placed, lotus statues stood instead.
Something was burning bright inside the temple, giving it an orange glow.
Lin Fan activated his Sound Memory.
He could hear someone talking inside.
"What's all the commotion? Deal with it as soon as possible. Here's the letter to Tan Kun. Don't mess up, or you'd wish you were better off dead."
"The guards are on it right now. I will make sure it is done."
The Lotus Leader was talking to someone inside.
Gallop.
Soon after, the person left on his horse on the opposite side of the temple.
Lin Fan thought for a moment.
How could they get the letter without alerting the Dark Lotus sect?
The commotion might die down at any moment, and time wasn't on their side.
When he looked at each other's unfamiliar faces, he had a plan.
"Senior master brother, if you don't mind, we might have to sacrifice the masks."
"The masks?" Hun Yen Kun thought for a moment.
These masks were gifts from an Artifact Master and hard to come by.
He weighed the consequences and agreed.
There's always Qing Yan Zi he could pester for Artifacts when the need arises.
"Sure, but what's your plan?" Hun Yen Kun asked.
Lin Fan explained his plan, and they nodded.
All they could think of was that they were lucky to be on the same side as Lin Fan.
Hun Yen Kun was impressed with Lin Fan's resourcefulness and quick thinking again.
What happened to Qing Yang Zi's judgment?
He'd really let a good one slip through his fingers.
"Get ready and on my cue, one, two, and three."
With the countdown, they got to work.
Lin Fan ventured into the temple first, with Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun following behind.
When they got into the temple, they saw many bodies lined up.
In the middle of the hall was a huge Alchemy Furnace.
Ashes and the bright orange glow filled the main hall.
The Lotus Leader, with the letter in his hand, was shocked when he saw them.
"You three! I knew it. There was something fishy about you the moment I saw you."
