While Linlong was out on a mission, a tall, stern-looking young man came to Senior Brother Yang's room to visit him.
Senior Brother Yang wanted to get down from his bed to greet the young man despite his injuries.
"Yang Jin, just stay on the bed." The stern-looking young man stopped Senior Brother Yang from doing so.
Then, the young man asked coldly, "Yang Jin, who injured you like this?"
Due to the fact that Linlong had disguised himself as a senior from the Demon Clan, Yang Zhen did not dare to tell anyone the truth after he returned. Even when Tutor Han Yueran asked him about it, he only said that he was accidentally injured by a beast.
Now that he heard the young man's question, he finally told the truth.
In the Demon Clan, he followed the young man's lead, and the young man would take care of him no matter what.
"You're saying that you were injured by a senior from our Sacred Gate, and that person is the new disciple of our Stone Courtyard, Lin Li?" The young man frowned.
"Yes, Senior Brother Yu Wenpeng." Yang Jin nodded.
The young man in front of him was the third senior brother of the Stone Courtyard, Yu Wenpeng. If Linlong was here, he would definitely know that this was the strongest senior brother in the Stone Courtyard.
"I know about this Lin Li. He defeated the genius of the Divine Justice Hall, Min De, in the recent martial arts competition and shocked the world with a single brilliant feat. However, based on my understanding, he doesn't seem to have any powerful seniors backing him up. Could it be that that person lied to you? Is he not from our Sacred Sect?" Yu Wenpeng asked doubtfully after hearing Yang Jin's words.
As the most powerful disciple in the Stone Courtyard, he naturally had a thorough understanding of a new genius like Linlong.
"He is indeed using demonic techniques," Yang Jin said with certainty.
"Could it be that he is someone who practices demonic techniques outside of our Sacred Gate?" Yu Wenpeng asked again. After his investigation, he didn't believe that Lin Long had any backing in the Sacred Gate.
"I don't know." Yang Jin shook his head.
"Yang Jin, rest in peace and recuperate. Don't worry, as your third senior brother, I will definitely give you an explanation." Yu Wenpeng was very cautious in front of Yang Jin.
Yang Jin was the one who waved the flag and cheered for him. If Yang Jin was injured and he didn't take any action, wouldn't he be looked down upon by the people in the Holy Gate and the Stone Courtyard?
His idea was very simple, and that was to find an opportunity to teach Linlong a lesson. As for what Yang Jin said about a senior in the Demon Sect who could help Linlong, in his opinion, there was no such thing.
Of course, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with this matter, because if he were to encounter the person that Yang Zhen mentioned, even he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it …
Right at this moment, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind, and he thought of a brilliant plan.
Since it wasn't easy for him to deal with the person behind Linlong, why didn't he call someone more powerful to capture the person behind Linlong? At that time, if the person behind Linlong was really a devil cultivator outside of the Holy Gate, it would definitely be a huge contribution to the Holy Gate.
Their Holy Gate would never allow such a person to threaten their disciples.
Right, let's do that! Yu Wenpeng clenched his fists in excitement.
"Senior Brother Yu Wenpeng, what's wrong?" Yu Wenpeng's actions naturally shocked Yang Jin who was standing at the side.
Yu Wenpeng smiled, "Yang Jin, I thought of a way to deal with the person behind that kid."
"What way?" Yang Jin's eyes lit up.
Right now, that so-called senior was like a huge mountain pressing down on his heart. If Yu Wenpeng really had a way to deal with it, he would definitely be relieved of a huge burden.
"It's very simple. Looking at that person's appearance, he is definitely not a senior of our Holy Gate. As long as I set a trap for him, then find some powerful people to capture him. If he really isn't a senior of our Holy Gate, then I will have made a huge contribution to our Holy Gate!" Yu Wenpeng said.
"Then, what if he really is a senior of our Holy Gate?" Yang Jin asked worriedly.
"The probability of that is very small. Think about it, if he really is a senior of our Holy Gate, he can just reveal his identity and make you submit. Why do we need to deliberately make things complicated?" Yu Wenpeng said.
"That's true." Yang Jin nodded. He felt that Yu Wenpeng's words made sense.
"Even if he is a senior of our Holy Gate, we don't need to worry. We can say that we suspect that he is an outsider with ulterior motives. With such a reason, he can't do anything to us." Yu Wenpeng said confidently.
"Then, I will have to trouble Senior Brother Yu Wenpeng!" Yang Jin immediately thanked him.
After chatting for a while more, Yu Wenpeng left to think about how to carry out his plan.
At this moment, on a remote street not far from the Soaring Eagle Hall, another incident was taking place.
Just as Lu Zhiyi was walking on this street, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him without a sound.
Raising his head to take a closer look, Lu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat. It was the Devil Gate's Elder Feng!
Lu Zhiyi knew that the elder's arrival was definitely not something good, but he suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly, "Elder Feng, what's the matter?"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to look for you because you offended me in the martial arts competition," Elder Feng said.
Lu Zhiyi felt even more uneasy when he heard that. If Elder Feng was not here for that reason, he was definitely here to look for him because of the Divine Justice Hall's annihilation. Compared to the latter, Lu Zhiyi hoped that Elder Feng was here for the former.
If Elder Feng was here for the former, he would at most teach him a lesson. However, if he was here for the latter, the situation would be different.
"May I know why Elder Feng is here?" Lu Zhiyi asked.
"Of course it's because of the Divine Justice Hall's annihilation," Elder Feng's face darkened.
After confirming that Elder Feng was here for that matter, Lu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
The only thing that made him heave a sigh of relief was that Elder Feng had come alone. This meant that Elder Feng was here as an individual, not because the Devil Gate was suspicious of him.
"A few elders from the Holy Gate have already come to look for me regarding this matter. I have already told them everything I know," Lu Zhiyi said immediately.
After the Divine Justice Hall was annihilated, a few elders from the Devil Gate immediately came to ask him about the situation.
"That has nothing to do with me. I just want to ask you, is there anything else you haven't told them about the Divine Justice Hall's annihilation? Please tell me now," Elder Feng said coldly.
"Elder Feng, I have already told those Zhang Lai everything I know. Moreover, I want to make one thing clear. The Divine Justice Hall's annihilation has nothing to do with me," Lu Zhiyi said immediately.
"Nothing to do with you? I'm afraid that you were at the scene when the Divine Justice Hall was annihilated, right? "Elder Feng stared at Lu Zhiyi as if he wanted to see through him.
Lu Zhiyi naturally would not admit to it. He immediately said, "Elder Feng, you've misunderstood. Those elders have investigated the scene in detail and their conclusion is that the Divine Justice Hall's annihilation has nothing to do with me. Elder Feng, please don't misunderstand."
"Hall Master Lu, I see that you won't shed a tear until you see your coffin!" Elder Feng suddenly attacked as he spoke.
Elder Feng was actually hesitating. However, in the end, he still chose to attack Hall Master Lu.
He had attacked because the Divine Justice Hall's annihilation had shocked him too much. He was really afraid that one day, the people who had annihilated the Divine Justice Hall would come looking for him. Therefore, after much consideration, he finally made a decision. He would make the first move to gain the upper hand.
Initially, he had wanted to deal with Linlong first. However, he remembered that Linlong was currently in the Holy Gate and it would not be good if he alerted others.
Therefore, he finally set his target on Lu Zhiyi. After all, to him, even though Lu Zhiyi was stronger than Linlong, he did not pose much of a threat to him. He could completely subdue and control Lu Zhiyi in a short period of time.
Elder Feng was indeed much stronger than Lu Zhiyi. Therefore, after a round of entanglement, Elder Feng struck Lu Zhiyi's back with his palm and knocked him out on the spot.
Then, he carried Lu Zhiyi to a basement that he had prepared beforehand.
When Lu Zhiyi regained consciousness, he realized that his hands and feet were chained and the person standing in front of him was Elder Feng with a gloomy expression on his face.
Elder Feng knew that his actions would definitely anger the people who had annihilated the Divine Justice Hall. However, he was not afraid because he had secretly controlled Hall Master Lu and the people who had annihilated the Divine Justice Hall would not know about it.
Once he found out who the culprit was from Hall Master Lu, he would have even less to worry about. Once he reported this matter to the higher-ups, the Devil Sect would definitely go all out to deal with the culprit. By then, he would not be afraid no matter how strong the culprit was.
Now, the only difficulty was whether Lu Zhiyi would tell the truth or not. However, he wasn't worried about this because he believed that Lu Zhiyi would definitely tell the truth after he tortured Lu Zhiyi with the help of the restriction.
"Hall Master Lu, I'll say this one more time. If you tell me who the culprit is, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll even give you a portion of the credit in front of the sect leader. When that happens, not only will you not be punished by the Holy Order, you'll even be rewarded by the sect leader. If you're lucky, you might even be able to enter the main altar," Elder Feng said as he looked at Lu Zhiyi.
Lu Zhiyi naturally knew that Elder Feng was telling the truth. However, when he thought of Linlong's terrifying methods, he immediately tossed this thought to the back of his mind.
Hence, he shook his head and said, "Elder Feng, I don't know who the culprit is."
"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see your coffin!" Elder Feng was enraged and immediately began to torture Lu Zhiyi.
Torture alone was not enough. After a while, he directly placed a restriction on Lu Zhiyi's body.
