I was just about to make a move when I realized that it was Lin Zhao, Xiao Kui, Qin Xin, Nie Xiaochun, and the others pouncing on me.

We crashed together as expected.

Before Lin Zhao was crushed, she deliberately slapped Cheng Ying away, but she herself ended up at the bottom.

By the time I frantically pulled Lin Zhao out, I saw that she had a piece of an ear in her mouth.

As I stretched the ear out, Ling, Lao Liu, and the others all rushed over.

Lao Liu pointed at the ear and said, "As expected, it's Fei Er Dao (Flying Ear Thief), one of the Eight Great Thieves. It seems that our Liangjie Tang's (Two Realms Hall) secrets have fallen into his ears."

Fei Er Dao was best at eavesdropping.

His victims were often stripped bare, yet they were still paranoid, wondering who had leaked the secrets.

Cang Tianji threw the ear on the table and held it down with demon tears: "Li Po, what do you want to do?"

"Kill!" As I responded coldly, Hei Ye Xiao (Black Night Owl) who had arrived drove a long nail into the ear.

I cut open my finger with a knife, pressed the tip of my finger against the back of the nail, and let the blood flow down the nail.

My finger was also gradually pressing the nail downwards. Before long, I heard a scream coming from under the ear.

Hei Ye Xiao said in a deep voice, "Fei Er Dao has been taken care of. Fifteen ghost servants on his body also died with him."

"Too good for him!" Only then did I pull up a chair and sit down. "It seems that our Liangjie Tang isn't as impregnable as we thought. We were almost fooled by a petty thief. Xiao Chengzi, release your people! They aren't the ones who betrayed Liangjie Tang."

When I was in Miao territory, I suspected that someone had leaked news about Liangjie Tang.

But I couldn't figure out who it was.

I couldn't rest until I found him.

When I was in Miao territory, I locked myself in my room, not to think about how to release the Nine-Tailed Fox, but to go over all the details of the trip to Miao territory.

In the end, I pinpointed the leak to Liangjie Tang.

I deliberately sealed off Liangjie Tang to find that person.

I didn't expect to find just an ear.

Lao Liu shook his fan and said, "Master, judging from all the signs, Zhu Zining is a person who is used to and good at using schemes."

"Leave this Zhu Zining to me!"

"I want to vindicate Shenmou Guisuan (Divine Strategist, Ghost Calculator)!"

I pondered for a moment and said, "You and Ling deal with Zhu Zining together. Yu Qingzhu on her side is also ambiguous. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone."

"This time, we'll use Lin Zhao as bait."

I turned to look at Lin Zhao and said, "Where did your unreliable brother run off to? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Lin Zhao had also caught her breath by now: "I've already contacted him. Who knows where he's gone?"

Lao Liu asked, "Lin Zhao, Zhu Zining said that you have Huangquan Biti Lian (Yellow Springs Twin Lotus) in your body. What's going on?"

Lin Zhao said, "Years ago, not long after my brother and I were born, Gui Guan Men (Ghost Coffin Sect) received a special business deal, saying that they wanted to seal a flower demon."

"The client for that business offered a high price, and the sect sent out more than a dozen elite disciples."

"That time, only one of the Gui Guan Men's people came back."

"According to Gui Guan Men's practice, that disciple needed to report the process of his mission to the sect. The sect leader also wanted to know what the disciples had encountered that caused them to suffer such heavy losses."

"As a result, that disciple turned into a flower demon in front of everyone. After the sect leader killed the flower demon, he discovered that a pair of conjoined lotus flowers had also bloomed in the pond of Gui Guan Men."

"That pair of lotus flowers actually caused all the plants near Gui Guan Men to rapidly demonize, and Gui Guan Men almost went extinct because of this."

"In the end, our parents had no choice but to use my brother and me as coffins to seal the pair of lotus flowers. Each of us has a blood lotus in our bodies."

"Although Gui Guan Men sealed the lotus flowers, they didn't know what they were."

"The sect leader sought out many famous figures in the art world before he learned that it was Huangquan Biti Lian."

"However, they only found out the name of the pair of lotus flowers."

Lao Liu interjected, "According to legend, Huangquan Biti Lian is a rare flower that blooms deep in the Yellow Springs and is always twinned."

"Huangquan Biti Lian looks like just flowers and plants, but it is actually a unique existence between demon and god, and it is also a great evil. It takes gods, ghosts, and living people as food. Even the gods and ghosts of the underworld have to avoid it."

"However, the Huangquan secret files record that Huangquan Biti Lian does not leave the Yellow Springs."

"How could it have run into the Yang world?"

Lin Zhao said, "The sect leader also had such doubts back then. He even took people to find the source of Huangquan Biti Lian, but he found nothing."

"The sect leader originally thought that my brother and I would not be able to cultivate secret arts from now on. Unexpectedly, we can not only cultivate secret arts, but also be more outstanding than our peers."

Lin Zhao looked at me here and said, "Of course, except when we meet freaks."

For the sake of me almost crushing her to death just now, I won't bother arguing with her.

"Cough cough..." I coughed twice and said, "What does Zhu Zining want Huangquan Biti Lian for?"
