Qin Chang'an reacted quickly, broke away from Zhao Ziling's drag, and with spiritual power emerging from his body, he grabbed Zhao Ziling's collar and rushed down the mountain with him.
Behind him, Xiao Hei was also awakened by this wave of spiritual power. He watched Qin Changan disappearing from his sight and let out a clear cry, waving his wings and quickly chased after him.
"A quarter of an hour ago, I went to her residence to look for her, but I found that a lot of vegetation along the way had been damaged. I thought someone wanted to do her harm."
"So I followed the traces all the way to the streets of the Shrine City, but what I saw was Junior Sister Lin holding a long sword and fighting against a dozen disciples of the Criminal Law Hall."
"On both sides of the street, there was blood everywhere. I saw at least ten corpses alone. I didn't wait long and came to find you right away."
"Save her. You must find a way to save her. Something must have happened to her. We have known her for so long. You and I both know her character. It is absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing."
Zhao Ziling's eyes were full of anxiety. He absolutely did not believe that Lin Wanwan could do such a thing.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Qin Changan's eyes were solemn and his face was serious as he quickly walked through the dense forest. The journey down the mountain that originally took half an hour was squeezed into less than a quarter of an hour.
He thought he had been mentally prepared, but when he stood on the street, he looked at the crumbling shops and the people lying on the ground howling.
His eyes shrank violently, and many disciples of the shrine had already arrived and were moving these injured people to a safe place.
"Jiejiejiejie..."
"It came really fast. The game wouldn't be fun anymore. Let's play it next time."
A hundred meters away, 'Lin Wanwan', who was surrounded by more than a dozen Xinglu Hall disciples, saw Qin Changan in the distance from the corner of her eye, with a hint of surprise on her face.
Her body was wrapped with dense chains, binding her tightly, but even so, these disciples of the Criminal Law Hall did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Control your strength and don't hurt her."
Among the crowd, Qin Ze frowned when he saw this scene. He had been in contact with Lin Wanwan before in Lishui Town.
Although she doesn't like to talk very much and has a cold and arrogant personality, it's impossible for her to do such a thing. What's going on now?
"Brother, she has killed so many people, why don't we just kill her?"
"Yes, this guy's power is too strong. Even with so many of us, we can only barely trap her with the spirit lock."
"Several senior fellow apprentices have been seriously injured by her. It's not an option to continue like this, senior fellow apprentice."
…
The disciples who controlled the Shulingsuo all around spoke one after another, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
It's so fierce, she's not even a human being, she's even fiercer than a monster.
At this moment, Lin Wanwan slowly lowered her head, the gray in her eyes quickly faded, black eyes reappeared, her hair was hanging down, and the gray lines under her skin disappeared in the blink of an eye.
All of them converged between her eyebrows, and finally formed a strange oval pattern in the middle of her forehead, accompanied by the fading of the gray spiritual power.
The aura on Lin Wanwan's body quickly became weak.
"ah!"
The strength in her body dissipated, but the power of the Soul-binding Lock did not weaken. The huge pressure caused her to scream miserably, and the severe pain rushed into her mind. She tilted her head and fainted.
Um?
"Everyone's strength is halved, just keep the spirit-binding lock functioning normally."
Qin Ze was keenly aware of the change in Lin Wanwan's aura, and ordered everyone to weaken their strength on the spot. In this state, if the strength was not weakened.
The power of the Shuling Lock was enough to crush Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan's screams attracted Qin Changan's attention, and he quickly arrived outside the battlefield.
Looking at Lin Wanwan, who was wrapped in chains, her eyes trembled slightly, a trace of warmth and anger flashed across her face, and the sea of blood on her body was churning, and she was about to take action.
Qin Ze appeared in time and stopped Qin Changan.
"Senior Brother Qin, don't be impulsive. This matter is too big. If you go there at this time, you will be implicated."
Qin Ze shook his head at him, but according to rough statistics, more than a dozen people were dead on this street.
No matter what happened to Lin Wanwan, the shrine would definitely get involved in investigating the matter. He didn't want to see Qin Changan get involved in this kind of thing.
"Everyone knows the relationship between her and me. If something happens to her, I can't avoid it. Even if I don't intervene in the matter, I can't get rid of it."
Qin Changan shook his head gently. Now that the matter has become like this, no one who has anything to do with Lin Wanwan can escape.
"Not now. Her condition is very strange. We need to take her back to Xinglu Mountain. Please understand."
Qin Ze understood his current mood very well, but now was not the time to contact Lin Wanwan. Otherwise, if the news spread, it would not only have an impact on the entire Xinglu Hall, but also the Beidao Shrine.
Qin Changan looked at Lin Wanwan, who was covered in blood, his eyes swaying slightly, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"I don't have to interfere, but I have to participate in the whole process. Don't worry, if she really has a problem, I will not interfere with any punishment imposed by the Criminal Court."
"But if there is another reason for the matter, I will never tolerate her being wronged in any way."
He never believed that Lin Wanwan would do something similar to a massacre, and Xinglu Tang's previous performance also made him begin to distrust them.
Qin Ze opened his mouth to say something, but thinking of what happened to Situ Yuanliang before, he could only sigh softly.
"It's unrealistic to want to participate in the case."
"But I can promise you that as long as I have any clues, I will inform you."
Even the elders cannot interfere in the cases of Xinglu Hall. Not to mention that Qin Changan is not the Young Palace Master yet. Even if he confirms the identity of the Young Palace Master, he has no right to interfere in the case of Xinglu Hall.
This is the rule set by the first generation of palace masters, and no one can break it.
Qin Changan frowned, and Zhao Ziling behind him gently pulled him and shook his head gently, signaling him not to say any more.
After comforting Qin Changan, Qin Ze led people to escort the unconscious Lin Wanwan towards Xinglu Mountain.
Thick shackles were placed around her neck and her spiritual source was sealed. Even if she wanted to go crazy again, it would be impossible.
Qin Changan followed closely and came to the square of Xinglu Hall again. Under Qin Ze's arrangement, he went to a side hall to wait for the news.
Time passed by, and he and Zhao Ziling sat in the side hall. It was silent, except for the faint flickering of the flame on the candlestick, which made a soft popping sound.
After a long time, it seemed that the temperature in the palace had begun to drop below zero.
The door creaked and was slowly pushed open. Qin Changan and Zhao Ziling immediately opened their eyes and looked towards the door.
Qin Yifu was in front and Qin Ze was behind. They walked in one after the other, both with extremely serious expressions on their faces.
Looking at their expressions, Qin Changan's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought surrounded his heart.
"What happened to her?"
"Heart-Eating Gu, we found the Heart-Eating Gu on Lin Wanwan."
Qin Yifu sighed softly, his brows filled with sorrow. Why are the recent events in the palace related to Qin Changan?
And these things are getting more and more difficult.
Situ Yuanliang hadn't dealt with it clearly before. What would happen now? He just picked up his sword and went to the streets to fight. If the two things one after the other were not handled well, the prestige of the Criminal Law Hall would be completely eliminated.
"What heart-eating Gu?"
Qin Changan was stunned and looked at Qin Yifu and Qin Ze in confusion.
What is this?
"Heart-eating Gu is an extremely evil poison technique. Once the practitioner plants the poison on a person, he can control the poisoned person from a long distance."
"Lin Wanwan was poisoned by this kind of poison. There are poisonous insects in her body now. She must not leave the Xinglu Hall. Otherwise, if she loses control again, it may have even worse effects."
Qin Ze looked at his father's back, slowly walked forward, and said, his face was extremely serious.
Because before he wanted it, Lin Wanwan had been captured by the people of Taisui Palace for a period of time when she was in Lishui Town. If nothing else, it was probably at that time that she was planted with Gu.
In other words, it was Xue Jinqiu of Taisui Palace who controlled Lin Wanwan to kill people on the streets. He wanted to use this to cholera the North Dao Shrine.
