Chapter 159 Shen Zizai's Scheme
Shi Qinghan shook his head violently, trying to break free from the control of that mysterious force.

He roared in a cold, piercing voice, "Peak Master Shen, what have you done to me? Could it be... that you are a heretical cultivator?!"

Before the words were finished, a crisp "snap" rang out. It turned out that Venerable Miaoyin was quick-witted and swift, and while Shi Qinghan was questioning her, a talisman that shimmered with a faint spiritual light had accurately struck Shen Zizai's body.

In an instant, Shen Zizai was struck dumb, frozen in place, unable to move.

Venerable Miaoyin gave a cold snort with a gloomy expression, and said in a cold tone, "It's really unexpected that the dignified peak master of our Five Flowers Sect's Beast Taming Peak is actually an evil cultivator! Sect Master, this person has such serious problems, I'm afraid Beast Taming Peak is not clean either, it's best to hand him over to the Punishment Hall for disposal!"

Upon hearing this, Sect Master Hua Tian was stunned, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

If the peak master of Yifeng is an evil cultivator, then is he the only evil cultivator on the entire Beast Taming Peak? Are his personal disciples and numerous nominal disciples also innocent? The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and the Huatian Sect Master felt his heart begin to pound.

Without daring to delay, he immediately summoned Elder Honghuang and solemnly issued the order: "Seal off Beast Taming Peak immediately and conduct a thorough investigation of the situation of all disciples on Beast Taming Peak."

Sect Master Hua Tian frowned as he recalled Shen Yue's reputation, saying, "Shen Yue should also be locked up in a separate place. Thinking about it now, her behavior is quite suspicious. All male cultivators who have had any connection with Shen Yue must be thoroughly investigated. No one should be overlooked!"

Upon receiving the order, Elder Honghuang respectfully replied, "Yes, Sect Master! But I wonder how to deal with Peak Master Shen? Should he be escorted to the Punishment Hall for trial?"

Venerable Miaoyin waved her hand gently, and then with a flick of her jade hand, a Binding Immortal Rope shimmering with spiritual light suddenly flew out, quickly coiling around Shen Zizai's body like a serpent, binding him firmly in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, Venerable Miaoyin slowly said, "Let him stay here for now. Venerable Danhua will arrive soon, and we will interrogate him ourselves then."

"Sect Master, Master, Mo Chen is willing to join the cleanup team. My contracted beast, Long Teng, has an excellent ability to identify abnormal auras and will definitely be of great help."

Shi Qinghan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly stepped forward, glanced at Shen Zizai beside him with disdain, and spoke solemnly.

Sect Master Hua Tian nodded slightly in approval: "Very well! Then you and Elder Honghuang shall go and carry out this mission!"

The Sect Master of Huatian watched the two figures turn and leave with gentle eyes.

After they had walked away and disappeared from sight, Sect Master Huatian couldn't help but sigh softly. He turned to look at Venerable Miaoyin, who was sitting there, and asked with a worried expression, "Uncle-Master, I wonder where Venerable Danhua is right now?"

“It should be in Shen Zizai’s cave. Shall we go and take a look?” As she spoke, Venerable Miaoyin raised her hand and took out a crystal-clear pill that emitted a faint fragrance, and put it into Shen Zizai’s slightly open mouth.

In just over ten breaths, Shen Zizai, who was originally still conscious, fell into a deep sleep as if he had been under a spell.

“Alright! Uncle-Master! Let’s go take a look!” Hua Tian was equally curious about what Shen Zizai’s cave contained, so he nodded without hesitation.

Upon receiving a response, Venerable Miaoyin immediately waved her wide sleeves. A gentle breeze swept by, and Shen Zizai, who was lying on the ground, instantly disappeared into her sleeve as if by magic.

The two figures flashed, transforming into two streaks of light, and sped towards Shen Zizai's cave. Before long, they arrived at their destination. From the outside, Shen Zizai's cave appeared quite grand, but upon entering, they found that the interior was decorated in a very simple and plain manner, without any luxurious or extravagant features. Everything seemed conventional and unremarkable.

As everyone stepped into the cave, the first thing that caught their eye was the spacious and bright hall. Scattered throughout the hall were all sorts of strange and unusual items, all collected by Venerable Danhua from various parts of the cave.

After quickly scanning the area, Venerable Miaoyin turned to look at Venerable Danhua beside her, whose expression remained calm, and asked softly, "Senior Brother, have you made any special discoveries?"

Venerable Danhua nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yes, there is indeed a secret room here that has not yet been explored, but there are problems with all the items placed here. Huatian, you take a careful look. If you feel that anything should not be kept, destroy it immediately. Under no circumstances should they be allowed to fall into the outside world, lest they cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master Hua Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, glanced casually at the mountain of items on the ground, then waved his hand, and a blazing fireball shot out instantly.

In the blink of an eye, all those dazzling items were reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace under the scorching flames.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Danhua nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and strode toward a huge landscape painting hanging on the wall.

He extended his right hand and gently tapped the image a few times. Accompanied by a soft buzzing sound, the magnificent painting slowly disappeared like a phantom.

Instead, a tightly closed, rustic wooden door quietly appeared before everyone.

Venerable Danhua stepped forward, reached out and grasped the doorknob, then pushed it forcefully.

In an instant, a strong, pungent smell of blood surged in like a tidal wave, making one feel nauseous.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a tall stone platform in the center of the room, and at the core of the platform was a blood pool about three feet square and bottomless.

At this moment, a man lay quietly on the stone platform, his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper, clearly in a deep coma.

Even more shocking was that a thin tube connected his arm to the bottom of the blood pool, and a steady stream of blood was flowing into the crimson and terrifying pool.

"Damn it!" The Venerable Danhua's eyes widened in anger, and with a flick of his sleeve, a sharp burst of energy shot out, slashing like lightning at the pipe connecting the blood pool to the male cultivator.

With a crisp "crack," the pipe snapped, as if it were as fragile as thin paper.

Immediately afterwards, Venerable Danhua gently waved his hands, and a gentle yet powerful force supported the person lying on the stone platform and slowly moved him to the ground.

Dan Hua Venerable's other hand had somehow produced a crystal-clear jade bottle. Without hesitation, he opened the bottle, poured out a pill that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance, and put it into the male cultivator's mouth.
