Chapter 8: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

The middle-aged man came to Lin Yan's room on the second floor, his door opened, and at a glance, he saw Lin Yan sitting inside, drinking tea calmly.

"You're back. Lin Yan put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head sideways and looked at the door of the room, and said with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the man saw the smile on Lin Yan's face, his eyes trembled, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, could it be that the other party found something, no, I thought that there was no mistake in what I said, could it be that he was lying to me?

"Yes, Lord Deacon. The man gathered his mind and bowed his head to Lin Yan respectfully.

"Come in and sit down, I have something to ask you. Lin Yan restrained his smile and motioned for the man to enter the house.

A hint of hesitation flashed in the man's eyes, and after a pause, he walked inside.

"Sit. Lin Yan said.

The man glanced at Lin Yan, saluted again, and slowly sat down.

"I wonder what the deacon has to do with his subordinates?" said the man with a respectful face.

Lin Yan smiled slightly, and did not answer his question immediately, but asked him, "I don't know what you went out before?"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan smiled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and an invisible momentum shrouded the man.

"Did he see something?"

The man's heart moved, but the next moment his pupils shrank, and then his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure on his body, and the blood in his whole body became slow under this pressure, is he testing me, no, you must not show flaws, otherwise......

The man paused, resisted the huge pressure, his expression was gloomy, and his tone became cold: "Naturally, I went to investigate the news of the Great Ming Sect." ”

"Why do you say that, Lord Deacon, are you doubting me?" the man snorted, showing his displeasure and anger.

Lin Yan glanced at him with a slight smile, and the momentum revealed suddenly disappeared, and then waved his hand: "Don't be careful, I just asked casually, naturally I am not suspicious of you." ”

The man's body was relaxed, and at the same time, his heart was also relieved, and he still said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "It's that my subordinates are too careful, presumably my sincerity to the Xuanlei Sect, Lord Deacon must understand, and I hope Lord Deacon will forgive his subordinates for their rude behavior just now." ”

"Naturally. Lin Yan nodded.

"Then what did the deacon ask me to come for?" the man retracted his expression, looked at Lin Yan with his eyes, and then asked in a respectful tone.

"I just wanted to ask, how many people from the Xuanlei Sect are in this Falling Star City?" Lin Yan picked up the slightly cold tea, took a sip gently, and said in a flat tone.

When the man heard this, a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Huh?"

"Two. The man opened his mouth and said in a weak tone.

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Two, are you sure you are not wrong?"

"Why so few?" Lin added.

The middle-aged man shook his head, and then explained: "The whole Wei State is under the control of the Xuanlei Sect, and all the immortal cultivators, immortal cultivators, and immortal cultivation sects in the Wei State almost all have to look at the face of the Xuanlei Sect~ things. Who would dare to commit something under the nose of Xuan Lei Sect, isn't this breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. However, out of precaution, there will be regulatory departments like us in every place to prevent emergencies and report them to the sect in a timely manner. ”

When Lin Yan heard this, he nodded again and again, but did not speak.

"But, how do you find out the news?" asked Lin Yan with a calm face.

"Naturally, we don't need to do it ourselves, there are special mortals to collect information for us. The man paused for a moment and said slowly.

"Oh, that's right, with the help of mortals, there will be a lot less trouble. Lin Yan said with a smile.

"I wonder if there is anything else the deacon commands?" said the man respectfully.

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "No, but in the next few days, you have to inquire more about the news of this Great Ming Sect." ”

"Subordinates should do their best. The man Huo stood up and said with a fist at Lin Yan.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. Lin Yan nodded and said, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then waved his hand at him and asked him to leave.

"Your Excellency, deacon, have a good rest. After seeing Lin Yan's gesture and spitting out a word, the man turned around and quickly left the room, closing the door with his hand, he didn't dare to stay for a moment at all.

After leaving the room, the man let out a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale his entire heart and lungs, and there was still horror and fear in his eyes.

"What kind of cultivation is he, ordinary foundation building cultivation has absolutely no such pressure, I'm afraid ...... No, I must inform them of this as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that something will happen at that time, and I will not let this person ruin my good deeds!" the man's expression changed a few times, the horror in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he muttered to himself.

"But I'm afraid not right now. The man glanced back, the door behind him, and immediately walked towards the first floor.

............

"Hehe, although this person's spiritual energy is weak and his foundation is unstable, his mind is tenacious, and he can actually keep calm under my momentum, but he underestimates this person. A strange color flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and his divine sense swept the door, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then Lin Yan stood up, walked to the window, glanced at the shining starry sky outside, and muttered to himself, "Don't let me down." After speaking, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and murderous intent loomed.

............

For the next two days, Lin Yan stayed in the room, never went out, and did not let the middle-aged shopkeeper come to see him, he was waiting for the other party.

The middle-aged man also seemed to understand that Lin Yan was wary of him, and he had been staying in Ji Shitang for the past two days, not going out a step, because he knew that Lin Yan had been paying attention to himself, as long as he made a slight move, the other party would probably kill him without hesitation.

Both were waiting for each other, and it was up to them to be more patient.

The time soon came to the night of the second day after Lin Yan arrived, and there was only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky that night, and the cold night sky exuded a bone-chilling coldness.

When the crescent moon came directly above the sky, Ji Shitang, which was located on the main road, made a squeaking sound, and a figure wrapped in black robes quietly came out of it.

Then the figure suddenly melted into the night and quickly departed somewhere.

At the same time, in a room on the second floor of Ji Shitang, Lin Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that I am a little more patient. Lin Yan stood up, his eyes looked in the direction of the black shadow's departure, although his vision was blocked by the wall, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the past and see everything outside.

That day, he attached a touch of his divine consciousness to the man's body, and it finally worked.

Lin Yan, who was standing on the floor, did not rush to follow, as long as the other party's was not beyond the scope of his divine sense, he could sense it.

At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth: "It seems that you are still very cautious." ”

With that, he turned and glanced at the door. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground again and closed his eyes.

"Really, I don't know what the shopkeeper thinks, do you have to let me come in the middle of the night to see if this person is still there?" Outside Lin Yan's room, Xiao Si showed a panicked look on his face, and he couldn't understand why the shopkeeper let him do this.

Then there was a slight 'pop' sound from the top of the door, and one of the big eyes with a hint of cunning looked through the hole in the door.

The eye just glanced at it, confirmed that there was someone inside, and quickly left.

After Xiao Si left, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, wondering if the teenager was also involved.

Immediately, Lin Yan stood up, and forced out a drop of essence blood in his right hand, and the essence blood suddenly writhed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into Lin Yan's appearance.

Lin Yan glanced at the doppelganger of the essence and blood change, and ordered, "You will stay here for me." ”

The doppelganger nodded numbly.

Lin Yan narrowed, then opened the window and jumped onto the deserted street. Then his eyes changed, and the whole person quickly rushed in that direction.

"It seems that he did not dare to leave for too long. Lin Yan found that the other party was not as far away as Ji Shitang, it was nearby. Lin Yan squinted slightly, and as soon as his heart moved, he understood the other party's plan, presumably the other party was also afraid that he would leave for too long, in case it aroused suspicion.

Lin Yan soon came to the place where the man was, and it was a dim alley, which happened to be blocked by houses on both sides of the alley, and the moonlight could only shine into it a little.

Lin Yan did not immediately approach the alley, but restrained his breath to avoid attracting the attention of the people in the alley.

Immediately after that, Lin Yan's figure flashed, and he flew towards the roof of the house on the side of the alley.

After coming to the roof, Lin Yan looked down and saw two black-robed figures in the alley. Although the alley was dim, it did not affect his vision for Lin Yan, who had built a complete foundation.

"That person should be the shopkeeper, as for the other person who exudes a cold aura all over his body, I'm afraid it is the person from the Great Ming Sect. Lin Yan squinted slightly, quickly distinguishing the two, and then touched his chin and said to himself, "It seems that you just talked about me." ”

"Is that person really as strong as you say is a foundation building monk who is stronger than ordinary?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Although I don't know what kind of cultivation he is, the momentum exuded by that person is even stronger than that of Gao Law Enforcement." ”

The black-robed man opposite him fell silent: "I know, I will tell Gao Law Enforcement about this matter." ”

Then the black-robed man glanced at the shopkeeper and said in a cold voice: "You go back first, don't arouse his suspicion." ”

"What is the plan?" asked the shopkeeper.

"It's still the same, how can a mere foundation-building monk spoil the sect master's big thing. The man added.

"The subordinates understand. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and walked quickly towards the alley.

Lin Yan looked at the figure of the shopkeeper leaving, and then looked at the black-robed man who was there, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
