“But this is the dojo of that lunatic Wang Lan. That old fellow is not a good person. If we provoke him, we won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“Can you still care so much at a time like this? What if the sect’s secret was discovered by that Madman Wang?”
The lackeys at the back were muttering and fighting to go in and search, but because of Wang Lan’s identity, they did not dare to do it openly.
Just as they were hesitating, a crack the size of a man suddenly appeared in front of them. An old man in ragged clothes and reeking of alcohol walked out.
The moment they saw Wang Lan, they were all frightened and subconsciously took a step back.
Wang Lan’s drunken eyes swept across them before she raised her head and took a big gulp of wine. She said impatiently,”! was wondering why it was so noisy outside. There was actually a group of flies.”
The disciple of the Divine Fire Sect did not dare to lose his temper after being insulted by Wang Lan. His face was red, but he did not dare to refute.
The senior brother in the lead closed his lips tightly and took a deep breath. He took a step forward and landed in front of Wang Lan.
“Medicine Master Wang!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Lan’s big mouth came into his face. The strong smell of alcohol almost made him faint.
“What do you want to do? If you have something to say, say it. Don’t stay here.”
The man was a little embarrassed by Wang Lan’s display of power. He gritted his teeth and said,”Medicine Master Wang, our sect leader Jing, you are a genius, so we brothers respect you. If you dare to protect the criminals, you will be an enemy of my Divine Fire Sect!”
Wang Lan put on a fearless expression and sneered as she looked at the disciples of the Divine Fire Sect.
“When your Sect Leader was adventuring outside, he always respectfully addressed me as Senior. How could it be that it was your turn to put on airs in front of this old man? If you really believe that this old man has done something, then call Violet Spirit over.”
“We personally saw that guy enter your mountain range. How can you deny it? If it wasn’t for the sect master’s instructions, we would have gone in and investigated by ourselves.”
The disciple behind him said this out of embarrassment, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
Wang Lan’s carefree appearance from before also disappeared without a trace. An incomparably cold aura suddenly rose from her body.
This aura was too powerful. It suppressed the disciples of the Divine Fire Sect until they did not dare to move.
“Doctor Wang, what do you want? We’re just here for a routine search, but you’re so obstructing us. Do you really want to make an enemy of my Divine Fire Sect?”
Apothecary Wang suddenly stretched out his hand like a ghost and disappeared. When he reappeared, there was a row of teeth in his hand.
These disciples looked at the guy standing in the middle in panic.
It was this guy who had said that sentence just now. At this moment, he stood there with his mouth full of blood and his face swollen like a pig’s head. “Medicine Master Wang, you really dare to attack us?”
The senior brother took out a black triangular flag and placed it in front of him. His cloak fluttered in the wind.
Wang Lan looked at the flag and her nose twitched slightly. A trace of doubt appeared on her face.
“If you don’t scram, I’ll pull out all your teeth!”
As he spoke, he flipped over the dozen teeth in his hand and dropped them one by one.
“My teeth!”
The person whose face was swollen still knew how to chase down and catch all the broken teeth in his arms.
“So you really want to be enemies with our Divine Fire Sect?”
“So much nonsense.”
“Good! Old man, just you wait!”
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and put the three-horned chicken back. He turned around and led his brothers in another direction. In a short while, they disappeared.
After sending off these uninvited guests, Wang Lan returned to her thatched hut where Li Yuanqing was waiting.
“Thank you for saving me, Senior!”
Wang Lan raised her head and looked at Li Yuanqing. She did not answer, but walked to the table and poured two cups of spiritual tea. She took one cup and left.
“How did you get involved with the people from the Divine Fire Sect?”
Although Wang Lan didn’t expose him, with the recent rumors and Li Yuanqing’s actions, he probably already had a rough guess.
Li Yuanqing picked up the tea and took a sip. He replied,”This junior has just arrived here, so I wanted to walk around and understand more. Coincidentally, the Divine Fire Gate was busy purchasing materials, so he came to take a look.” “Just take a look?”
Li Yuanqing suddenly stood up and walked behind Wang Lan.
“Senior, we have a question that we are very puzzled about.”
Wang Lan added more tea to his cup and drank it in one gulp. The cup disappeared from his hand.
“Tell me, what did you find on those fellows from the Divine Fire Sect?”
Li Yuanqing looked at Wang Lan in surprise. He did not expect Wang Lan to be so unrestrained and unruly. It seemed that she was quite familiar with the outside world.
“When I was at the Divine Fire Sect’s market, I saw them forcefully dragging people away. I was curious, so I let a puppet follow them into the cave. In the end, I discovered that there was a wide passageway behind the market. There were countless rooms inside, and there seemed to be some abnormal behavior going on in those rooms.”
“You also know puppet techniques?”
Wang Lan raised her eyebrows and turned around to look at Li Yuanqing.
“I only know a little!”
Wang Lan pursed her lips and sat down at the table.
“What did you see after that?”
“They lied that those people were selling fake Fire Spirit Fruits and then forcefully controlled them. However, when those people reached the tunnel, their souls had already scattered. So, they placed them on a large stone platform and the so-called Taoist master was refining their corpses.”
“What?”
When Wang Lan heard this, she suddenly glared at Li Yuanqing.
“What did you say?”
“What this junior said is true. This junior saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chased after us so anxiously.”
Wang Lan took out the cup in bewilderment, poured a cup of tea, and gulped it down.
“You’re saying that someone tricked those wandering cultivators into trading with them, but in reality, they killed them and refined their corpses.”
“Indeed.”
” What else did you see?”
“Other than that, there’s nothing else. Just as 1 was about to continue watching, someone discovered my movements and destroyed the puppet.”
“That puppet of yours can already see enough.”
Wang Lan’s gaze fell on Li Yuanqing.
“If what you said is true, and they practice corpse refinement, then their heavenly masters are ail top-notch puppet masters, and you actually stole them for so long.”
Li Yuanqing felt a knot in his heart. Just as he was about to explain, Wang Lan suddenly shifted her gaze.
“However, 1 have been very puzzled recently. The Fire Gate has suddenly become very high-profile and is purchasing fire spirit fruits and other fire attribute materials in large quantities. They seemed to have a very urgent need for fire attribute spiritual energy.”
“Does Senior have any evidence now?”
Wang Lan shook her head slightly.” 1 don’t have any evidence. 1 was just suspicious at first. I didn’t really want to question them.” However, according to what you said, they have committed a great taboo.”
“Then why don’t we just tell these things to those large sects?”
“That’s useless.”
“Then are we not going to do anything? Watching those rogue cultivators being tricked into the fire pit?”
“There’s no way to do it!”
Wang Lan suddenly reached out and brushed her hand across the table. A wooden box appeared on the small wooden table.
“I wonder if little friend is willing to come with me to meet an old friend?”
