Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 73 A Thousand Faces: I Feel Like I'm Living in Lian Shanxin's Shadow

Lan Xin assumed that Qianmian was furious because she had left without permission, and she felt a little flustered. She quickly explained, "Master, I was indeed feeling guilty at the time. Jiang Haoran is a fellow disciple of my Holy Sect, and I didn't even know him. But Lian Shanxin found out about me, so I was worried that he might have some tricks up his sleeve. That's why I left on my own initiative. Now my identity is bound to be exposed. If Master punishes me, I will have no complaints."

Thousand Faces remained silent.

He hasn't processed this information yet.

Because it was all information he didn't know.

"Master, are you alright?" Lan Xin asked anxiously.

Qianmian asked softly, "How was Haoran discovered?"

"This disciple does not know either. I only heard that he had a conflict with Lian Shanxin and was killed on the spot by Lian Shanxin, who then tore off his human skin mask. Before that, even the governor and Tie Shou did not realize that he was pretending. This disciple has been infiltrating the governor's mansion for many years and has never noticed."

At this point, Lanxin flattered Qianmian again: "Master's plan is truly as elusive as a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving no trace. If it weren't for Lianshan Xin, with me and this imposter young master in the governor's mansion, it would definitely have become Master's backyard."

Qianmian closed his eyes and remained silent for a full minute.

Then he regained his composure: "It seems I underestimated Lian Shanxin."

He had heard of the name the day before yesterday and had even seen Lian Shanxin in person from afar. At the time, he thought Lian Shanxin was unremarkable and not worth his time.

But he still sent Dai Yueying to contact Lianshanxin.

In Qianmian's opinion, Dai Yueying, with her naturally alluring body, would have no trouble winning over an innocent 18-year-old boy; it would be like a lion hunting a rabbit.

There was no issue of him being careless.

But as it turns out, he did seem to have been careless.

How did Dai Yueying do it?

Qianmian had the idea of ​​confronting them.

So he glanced at Lanxin and said in a deep voice, "You made the right decision. If you had stayed in the governor's mansion, there would indeed have been a risk of being exposed."

Lanxin felt a sense of relief.

“But as for Lian Shanxin, I already arranged for someone to turn him against us the day before yesterday. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be an enemy of our Holy Sect.” Qianmian frowned: “Well then, Lanxin, go find someone.”

Now that Lanxin had withdrawn from the governor's mansion, he decided to temporarily use her as his contact person to receive intelligence on his behalf.

It would be safer for him to step in, but Qianmian still needs to heal his wounds.

Like Zhang Aniu, he was also seriously injured, and his injuries were even more severe than Zhang Aniu's.

After receiving Qianmian's explanation, Lanxin immediately went to find Dai Yueying.

Less than half an hour later, Lanxin returned.

"Master, something terrible has happened."

Qianmian's heart sank: "What is it?"

“I was observing the Dai family from outside just now and discovered hidden sentries nearby. I didn’t dare go in and left in a hurry. Master, it’s likely that Dai Yueying has also been discovered by Lian Shanxin,” Lan Xin said solemnly.

Qianmian suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

The injuries inflicted by the Heavenly Sword were still too severe.

"You did a good job. Now that you've noticed something's wrong, you must not put yourself in danger."

Throughout his many acts, he never forgot to praise Lanxin.

"Dai Yueying actually fell into Lian Shanxin's hands?"

Qianmian found it hard to believe.

How could a mere 18-year-old innocent male college student resist a naturally alluring body?
Is it because of eighteen years of childhood training?
But based on his experience, Xiao Chunan should be easier to be charmed.

Qianmian could never have guessed that Lian Shanxin had more art films stored on his hard drive in his previous life than he had experienced in this one.

"Was he chosen by Qi Shiyun and entered the Heavenly Chosen One lineage?"

Qianmian suddenly remembered that when he observed Lian Shanxin the day before yesterday, Lian Shanxin and Qi Shiyun were very close and chatting happily. Lanxin said solemnly, "This disciple has not yet found out about this, but when he went to the governor's mansion, it was indeed Qi Shiyun who took him. Including the search of the Qu family, it was also Qi Shiyun who accompanied him."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should have entered the Heavenly Chosen lineage." Qianmian steadied himself: "In that case, Lian Shanxin actually has the talent for cultivation. I really underestimated him. Cultivators have unpredictable methods, so it's understandable that Yueying fell into his hands."

Lan Xin said, "Master, I came in a hurry and haven't had a chance to investigate Dai Yueying's whereabouts carefully. But judging from Lian Shanxin's style of doing things, Dai Yueying is probably in grave danger. It seems that this Lian Shanxin really does have something, and he is an obstacle to our Holy Sect's success in Jiangzhou."

"Then get rid of him."

As one of the four elders of the Demonic Sect, Qianmian was a ruthless and decisive figure. Once he made up his mind, he didn't hesitate at all.

After glancing at Lan Xin, Qianmian abandoned the idea of ​​having Lan Xin kill Lian Shanxin: "Lian Shanxin was able to kill Hao Ran, so his strength is likely already at the Qi Condensation Realm. In addition, he always has people from Jiutian by his side. It's too risky for you to take action. Here's what you do: go to the academy and find 'Purple Lightning Sword' Lin Xiangwen, and have him do it."

Lan Xin was overjoyed: "Master, are there people from our Holy Sect in the academy?"

"of course."

"Master is truly farsighted."

Lan Xin was once again completely convinced.

"With Master here, Lian Shanxin is nothing more than a minor ailment and not worth worrying about."

Qianmian nodded slightly.

He thought so too.

He now only regrets that he stopped Lin Xiangwen from proposing to kill Lian Shanxin yesterday.

I was just too kind.

This time, it definitely won't happen again.

then.

Less than half an hour later.

Lan Xin rushed back again, travel-worn and exhausted.

"Master, something terrible has happened."

Qianmian felt another sharp pain in her heart.

An ominous premonition struck again.

"Could it be that something happened to Lin Xiangwen too?"

Lan Xin nodded hesitantly.

"Did something happen or not?"

Lan Xin quickly explained, "I couldn't find Lin Xiangwen. He didn't go to teach martial arts to the students at the academy today. I investigated privately and someone said that Lian Shanxin had a conflict with Lin Xiangwen's student He Ruoyu yesterday, and then Lin Xiangwen went to confront Lian Shanxin in a fit of anger. And then... and then he never came back."

Qianmian's heart sank suddenly.

Lan Xin comforted him, "Master, Lin Xiangwen is a martial arts instructor at Bailudong Academy, with the cultivation of a Grandmaster. Lian Shanxin definitely can't hurt him. I'll go to the academy again in half an hour."

Qianmian refused outright: "No, we can't take any chances. Besides, you just went to the academy; if you go again, the danger will increase greatly. I will arrange for others to investigate; you don't need to participate anymore. Your safety is the most important thing."

Lan Xin replied inwardly, "Thank you, Master. By the way, Master, do you also have connections with the Sakura Kingdom?"

Qianmian's hands trembled, and he looked sharply at Lanxin: "Why do you ask that?"

Lan Xin explained, "When I went to the academy to inquire, I overheard students talking about how Lian Shanxin arrested Prince Akihito of the Sakura Kingdom and his sister Yuriko, claiming that they were related to you. Master, is that true?"

Suddenly everything went black before Qianmian's eyes.

"Master, Master..."

"I...I'm fine. I just suddenly felt that Lian Shanxin might become my greatest enemy!"
