Chapter 92 - Mingshi Yin Is In Trouble
Lu Zhou could see the remorse in Ye Tianxin’s eyes. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Ye Tianxin thought Lu Zhou had finally relented and came to see her so she was happy when she saw him.
However, Lu Zhou remained cold as he said, “I have questions for you. You only need to answer them.”
“Yes, mas… Understood.” Ye Tianxin was about to address Lu Zhou as master but she quickly swallowed the word.
“When did you investigate the Fish Dragon Village?”
Ye Tianxin was taken aback by this question. She thought that her master would give her a thorough scolding. She did not expect her master to be more interested in the Fish Dragon Village. Many emotions surged in her heart at this moment. After giving it some thought, she decided to answer honestly, “The 10th year after I left the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“How did you access the local and palace’s archives?”
“Lift your head.” Lu Zhou’s voice was stern and commanding.
Mingshi Yin slowly did as he was told.
As expected, Lu Zhou saw a black lotus between his glabella!
“Witchcraft…”
Pan Zhong was the nearest. He did not notice the mark when he brought Mingshi Yin up the mountain. Fear filled his heart when he saw the sign of witchcraft on Mingshi Yin’s glabella.
“No wonder Mister Fourth was affected. It’s a witchcraft trap. There aren’t many witchcraft cultivators under Great Yan’s skies! Who did this to Mister Fourth?” Pan Zhong exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Zhou did not answer Pan Zhong’s question. He looked at Mingshi Yin and asked, “It’s near the Measure Heaven River?”
“There might be traps all along the river bank… Master, I’m alright. I’m just feeling a little tired. This witchcraft has only restricted 60 percent of my cultivation base. It’s not that serious…” He managed to hurry back from Measure Heaven River overnight with 60 percent of his cultivation base restricted. It had to be said that his tenacity and will to survive were exceptionally shocking.
Sometimes, Lu Zhou wondered if Ji Tiandao merely picked his disciples to fulfill the words of the poem. ‘They’re all exceptionally talented, and their names fit with the poem. I think there’s too much of a coincidence here.’
Pan Zhong bowed and said, “It’s witchcraft indeed… We must undo this quickly. Otherwise, it might spread until Mister Fourth completely loses access to his cultivation base. At that time, it might be even more difficult to undo the witchcraft.”
