Chapter 285: Juexian Captures Qianmo

The secret chamber below was not lit and was pitch black.

However, under Li Fan's Divine Sense, the scene inside was unobstructed.

He flicked out a wisp of flame from his hand, lighting the candles that were already there.

As the candlelight flickered, Li Fan's expression gradually became solemn.

In this space, which was not large but not small either, a faceless stone statue stood against the wall.

In the middle was a long, dark brown wooden table.

On the table, faint traces of solidified dark red blood could be seen.

A wooden box was placed at the corner of the table.

Li Fan opened the wooden box and found that it contained tools of unknown purpose such as hammers, knives, nails, and needles.

Along the wall, many transparent jars were arranged.

In the jars, many strange-shaped organs were soaked in an unknown liquid.

In a corner, Li Fan also saw several skeletal specimens of young humans.

"Mr. Bai…"

Li Fan's expression was unreadable as he continued to search through the secret chamber.

In another corner, he noticed that the ground marks were somewhat different from other places.

His Divine Sense delved underground.

Buried inside were one, two… twenty-eight corpses.

Judging by the appearance of the remains, they were all half-human, half-beast beings, just like "Gouzi" in the small temple.

Apart from this, there was no further discovery in the secret chamber.

Without rushing to act, Li Fan pondered on the spot.

Judging by the various items found in this secret chamber, Mr. Bai's persona as "the best good person in the world" seemed to be challenged.

But…

It cannot be completely overturned yet.

When Great Xuan was still a Mortal and governed a region.

Li Fan had judged countless cases, big and small.

Some cases that seemed very simple at first glance often had hidden motives.

Take the scene before him, for example.

It's possible that Mr. Bai was very well disguised.

He appeared very kind on the surface, but in reality, he was an extremely evil person inside.

The bones buried deep underground all died at his hands.

Even the half-human, half-beast beings in Ningyuan City were created by him, who was skilled in medicine.

And helping the orphans in the small temple was also for the convenience of selecting research subjects.

But it is also possible that Mr. Bai did not disguise himself.

The specimens and remains in the secret chamber were merely for his medical research.

Li Fan, who had Transmigrated, did not find this difficult to accept.

However, in Ningyuan City, it might be a bit shocking.

The reason he hid in this underground secret chamber to conduct research might be because the world found it difficult to understand, forcing him to do so.

Both of the above possibilities exist.

As for the truth, Li Fan still needs to verify it himself.

What is almost certain now is that the owner of this remnant time-space is this "Mr. Bai" whom he has never met.

Li Fan decided not to change his previous plan and first try to resolve the Ninyuan Fruit of Longevity incident without any Mortal casualties.

After making up his mind, Li Fan focused his gaze on the somewhat damaged stone statue.

It seemed a long time had passed since the statue's creation.

It was full of traces of the vicissitudes of time, no longer possessing its former sacredness.

The Faceless face quietly met Li Fan's gaze.

"Such a large piece of stone is more than enough to forge two or three sets of absolute immortal stone nails."

Li Fan, however, thought so.

He glanced at the wooden box in the middle again, and Li Fan was even more satisfied.

"Hmm, very good, even the tools are prepared for me."

Li Fan no longer hesitated, driving the hammer, nails, knives, and other tools with his Divine Sense.

A clanging sound.

Soon after, dozens of slender absolute immortal stone nails were forged and placed one by one on the long table in the basement by Li Fan.

"Next, I need to test whether the Immortal Sealing Spirit Severing Needle can restrain Senior Brother Zhang."

"If it can…"

"Chu Liang and the others are nothing but chickens and dogs; I can easily capture them with the Binding Insect Divine Power."

"As for Song He Song, I can do the same and subdue him with the absolute immortal stone needles."

"Hmm, this absolute immortal stone cannot be stored in a storage ring, so I need to lure him into a trap."

After thinking for a moment, Li Fan returned to the ground and placed the absolute immortal stone Slab in the basement.

Then he sent a message to Senior Brother Zhang.

"Senior Brother, come quickly, I have made a major discovery!"

Li Fan then returned to the underground secret chamber, blew out the candle, and waited for Senior Brother Zhang's arrival.

After a while, Zhang Qianmo's voice came from above: "Hmm? Junior Brother, what did you find in this secret chamber?"

"So many bones…"

"Hmm? Beast species!?"

Upon sensing the half-beast, half-human bones in the secret chamber, Zhang Qianmo's tone instantly sank.

He faintly showed anger.

He flew down into the underground secret chamber.

"Senior Brother, look, there are not only many strange-shaped corpses here, but also a strange stone statue."

"I don't know its origin."

In the darkness, Li Fan slowly approached Zhang Qianmo, pointing at the increasingly dilapidated stone statue and saying.

His Divine Sense could not display it, but now, with the faint light filtering down from above, Zhang Qianmo finally noticed the faceless stone statue not far away.

His mind was greatly shaken, and he blurted out: "xuantian divine statue?"

Just then, Li Fan, who was behind him, suddenly thrust a slender stone nail into the position corresponding to his Dantian on his back.

It passed straight through him.

Zhang Qianmo grunted.

He hadn't expected his dear Junior Brother to ambush him. Zhang Qianmo seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed drastically, and he turned to counterattack.

However, the Spiritual Qi circulation in his Dantian paused, and the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning he wanted to unleash was delayed by one breath.

In that instant, another stone nail was fiercely thrust into his chest at the Shanzhong Acupoint.

Then, it continued without stopping.

A total of thirty-six absolute immortal stone needles completely sealed Zhang Qianmo's vital Acupoints.

His entire aura plummeted, and Senior Brother Zhang, who appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, now seemed to be just like a Mortal.

"Immortal Sealing Spirit Severing…"

"Xuantian Sect remnant…"

Although captured, Zhang Qianmo's face did not show much panic.

Instead, he stared at Li Fan and said with hatred.

"You are not Junior Brother Li Chen!"

"What did you do to my Junior Brother?"

Li Fan hadn't expected the absolute immortal stone nails to be so effective, easily subduing Senior Brother Zhang.

Hearing him mistakenly take himself for some "Xuantian Sect remnant," Li Fan's heart stirred slightly.

However, he remained expressionless, speaking in his usual tone: "Senior Brother is truly confused. You don't even recognize your Junior Brother anymore?"

Then, he recounted memories from Li Chen's past, things that only the two Senior and Junior Brothers knew.

Zhang Qianmo's expression kept changing, surprised and uncertain.

"Was Junior Brother soul-searched? No, with the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning will protecting him, he isn't afraid of soul-searching techniques at all…"

"Could it be…"

Zhang Qianmo's face completely darkened.

"I didn't expect, Junior Brother, that you were a secret agent planted by the Xuantian Sect into my Zixiao Sect since childhood?"

Li Fan was secretly dumbfounded.

However, he saw that Zhang Qianmo seemed to be fearless and not worried about his situation.

Instead, he wanted to use this opportunity to extract information.

So, he played along, cooperating with the act.

"Senior Brother is joking. What Xuantian Sect? I'm completely unaware of it."

Li Fan shrugged, his face full of innocence.

"Unaware?"

Zhang Qianmo sneered.

"At this point, stop pretending."

"Hiding the xuantian divine statue, doing clandestine deeds."

"Besides a Xuantian Sect remnant, who else could it be?"

"Junior Brother, you've hidden yourself so well all these years."
