Chapter 252 The Sect Leader is Imprisoned
"It's meant to suppress the growth of demonic energy. It seems the Second Elder's condition isn't good either." Granny Honghu quickly made a judgment about the lava blood pool, then sighed.

"These imprisoned humans were probably cultivators before, and they were used to conduct experiments with some kind of spiritual medicine, which is why they turned into this."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted. Were they going to use cultivators for experiments?
It's absolutely heartbreaking.

After watching a monster, whose head still vaguely resembled a human, utter silent wails in its cage, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what would happen if we waited for the Second Elder to arrive and released them?"

"If you want to die, then release them. The monsters in here can kill us easily, but they pose no threat to the Second Elder." Granny Honghu bluntly rejected Lin Zhao's idea.

Then, Grandma Honghu changed the subject, "But there's still something you can do."

Upon hearing Grandma Honghu's instructions, Lin Zhao took Yunfei to a corner and settled her in before daring to leave after setting up a soundproof barrier for her.

She took out a jade bottle and obtained some liquid samples from the molten pool. Then she walked to a cage of a monster in the fusion stage. After attracting the monster's attention with a spiritual fruit, Lin Zhao extracted a vial of its blood.

After watching Lin Zhao finish taking the sample, Granny Honghu's voice was somewhat solemn: "Using cultivators as experimental subjects is an evil technique that has been explicitly prohibited in the alchemist world. I didn't expect that the Phoenix Medicine Sect would still have such a legacy."

The influence of this evil art on the alchemist world is no less than that on cultivators who have fallen into demonic ways, and may even be more terrifying.

For a cultivator to fall into demonic possession is to kill and eat living beings, and such evil arts are simply a scourge to all living beings.

"Has anyone used it before to slow down the growth of demonic energy?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not. Initially, this evil technique was designed to greatly enhance the combat power of cultivators, and it was based on the blood sacrifice of spirit beasts."

Lin Zhao knew that many sects would capture powerful spirit beasts when their disciples were very young in order to enhance their physical bodies and cultivation. They would use the beasts' bones and blood to create extremely precious body-tempering liquid for talented disciples to temper their bodies and improve their skills.

Although this secret technique is bloody, it is extremely effective. However, disciples who have used the blood sacrifice of spirit beasts are always easily affected by the resentment and anger of those dead spirit beasts, thus making their Dao heart unstable.

Of course, if the disciple himself has a firm Dao heart and excellent talent, then the spirit beast blood sacrifice will only be the icing on the cake.

But unexpectedly, some alchemists actually used spirit beast blood sacrifice as a sample to conduct such experiments on cultivators.

"Eating each other..."

These four words appeared in Lin Zhao's mind, leaving her unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Granny Honghu sighed, "Using the ferocious energy of blood sacrifice to counteract the increasing demonic energy, thus slowing down the speed and manifestations of one's descent into demonic possession, but having reached this point, that Second Elder can no longer shake off his craving for human flesh and blood."

Aside from his skin, which still makes him look like a human, he has now become a complete demon.

The ruler of the Phoenix Medicine Sect is a demon who eats human flesh and blood.

Another piece of bad news. Lin Zhao couldn't help but say, "I really don't know what the Phoenix Medicine Sect went through back then to become like this."

"That's not your concern. What you need to do now is find out the truth about what happened back then and give that old bastard an explanation. As for that old man, did that little girl see him?"

Following Grandma Honghu's instructions, Lin Zhao looked at Yun Fei and asked, "Master, do you mean Yun Fei should call for help?"

Grandma Honghu said, "Do you want to fight the Second Elder yourself? Let me tell you, that old fellow is already half a step into the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Lin Zhao slapped his forehead and took a deep breath: "I understand."

He had no one to rely on on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent and couldn't find anyone to deal with the Second Elder, but Yun Fei was different. She was the little princess of the empire, and if something happened to her here, the entire Phoenix Medicine Sect couldn't bear the consequences.

This is probably why Yunfei's talent wasn't taken away after she came to the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Sima Ling and the Second Elder can act with impunity in the Northwest Continent, but if things really escalate to the hands of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire's royal family, they have the ability to quell the turmoil within the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Having learned what this place was like, Lin Zhao lost all curiosity and tried to drag Yun Fei away. Before they had taken more than a few steps, a hoarse voice echoed in his mind: "Save me! Save me, and the Phoenix Medicine Sect is yours!"

Lin Zhao paused, his gaze falling on the lava pool with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"Who are you? Why can you send your voice into my mind?"

"You also cultivated the Phoenix Vein Technique. Was it given to you by that kid Cheng Hai?"

Lin Zhao roughly figured out who the other party was, and for a moment she couldn't believe it.

"Senior, are you perhaps the sect leader of the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"

"...Hehe, Sect Leader, it should be me. Back then, I was forced to expel Cheng from the sect, and I was trapped under this blood pool as a sacrifice for the array's core. I don't know how many years it has been."

As he spoke, he said with some relief, "But that bastard of a second brother, does he think he's won just because he's schemed and plotted? I gave the Phoenix Vein Technique to Cheng boy a long time ago, I would rather die than leave it to a treacherous monster like him!"

In an instant, the cause and effect became clear to Lin Zhao. She said helplessly through her sea of ​​consciousness, "But I am only at the Heartbeat stage, and I am afraid I cannot save you, senior."

"It's alright. You have more than one thing that can restrain evil spirits. As long as you can go down into the blood pool and help me break this demonic chain, I will have a way to leave this place."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Senior can sense that I have cultivated the Phoenix Vein Technique and can even communicate with me through it. Can the Second Elder do the same?"

The voice fell silent for a long time.

Lin Zhao understood. Her face paled slightly, but she remained calm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't worry, senior. I will definitely save you, but not now."

Going down now would be like alerting the enemy; her cultivation level is simply not enough to even fill the teeth of a half-step Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

There was no response from the voice, so Lin Zhao knew that the other party had agreed. He then turned his gaze to Yun Fei and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness for this little darling."

Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to find a breakthrough in this matter.

……

After bringing Yunfei to his cave, Lin Zhao dared to remove the invisibility talismans from the two of them. The moment Yunfei, who had been in a daze, saw Lin Zhao's true face, her pupils dilated.

"You...you...you...Lin Hui?!"

Lin Zhao nodded: "It was me. I disguised myself beforehand."

Yunfei snapped out of her thoughts and stared at Lin Zhao's face: "You're so good-looking, why are you pretending to be ugly?"

Lin Zhao noticed the girl's gaze and chuckled helplessly. So this girl was a sucker for good looks?

“This appearance is likely to cause trouble,” Lin Zhao said. “I’m not afraid of trouble, nor do I want to cause trouble. Besides, I have other plans, which is why I’m trying to conceal it.”

Yunfei reluctantly looked away and asked, "You also saw what was in that cave. What are you going to do about it?"

After Yunfei finished speaking, she felt Lin Zhao staring at her intently, which made her feel uneasy: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, we might need you to help with the things there."

"I?"
