Chapter 698: Taoist Priest, Your Heart is a Little Too Firm
"Taiqingmen?"
Seeing that the other party looked a little surprised but did not deny it, Lin Yu continued to nod.
"Yes, isn't Fellow Daoist from the Taiqing Sect, the leading sect of Daoism?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the Taoist in green robe felt a little embarrassed and smiled heartily.
"Alas, how can I be called the leader... All the Taoist sects in the world are one family, there is no such thing as leader or not."
But this reaction is obviously a tacit agreement.
"How did you recognize me? I don't have any items that prove my master's lineage or identity."
Lin Yu looked at the Taoist in green robe and started to lie with his eyes open.
"Of course, it's because I've seen you before... I've forgotten where it was, but I've definitely seen you."
"I'm from Changchun Temple, and my Taoist name is Qingyao."
When Lin Yu performed this smooth combo, not only the Taoist priest in green robe in front of him, but even the players behind him were puzzled.
"Eternal Spring Temple? Could this be some Taoist temple in the Prison Mountain Realm?"
Seagull asked in a low voice.
"Bullshit, you forgot she's from Jiang'an Hall, so she must be from Jiangcheng," Snow Owl whispered, "This Changchun Temple is a Taoist temple in Jiangcheng!"
"Shouldn't Changchun Temple be a Taoist temple in Jilin Province?"
The seagull asked in even greater surprise.
Li Nian, a Jiangcheng native, couldn't stand it any longer: "That's Changchun from Changchun Zhenren!"
Gao Shan expressed other concerns and doubts: "Can you use Jiangcheng's Taoist temple to deceive the locals of Yushan Realm?"
"This...I don't know, but trust her."
Snowy Owl whispered.
And the answer is...
of course can!
Faced with Lin Yu's self-introduction, although he obviously didn't remember who the other party was, the Taoist in green robe still showed an expression of "sudden enlightenment".
"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Qingyao from Changchun Temple," the Taoist in green robes bowed, "I'm Yunzhen from Taiqing Sect..."
"So it's Master Yun Zhen. My apologies," Lin Yu's face revealed a hint of surprise. "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. If I remember correctly, you should be..."
The Taoist in green robes smiled and said, "I am the acting leader of the Taiqing Sect... Please excuse my embarrassment."
"That's my fault. I should have called you Senior."
Lin Yu's tone became more joyful and respectful again.
"Since you are Senior Yunzhen, the leader of the Taiqing Sect, then I presume you are also here for Liuzhen, right?"
"Sure enough, you also think that the demon is hiding in this Willow Town!"
Lin Yu remembered the news he heard from Puppet and Xuan Yunzi very clearly - at this point in time, all the Taoist sects and martial arts schools should be jointly searching for the demon who was constantly causing tragedies in various places in the Prison Mountain Realm.
He spoke so naturally, as if Lin Yu was also an eyewitness.
Sure enough, Yunzhen was led astray by this natural tone.
"That's right. And before you found this Xinglin Clinic, it should also mean... you guessed that there's something strange about this Xinglin Clinic, right?"
Lin Yu nodded: "There's something wrong with the daughter who's said to be a fortune teller here."
"Yes, I also suspect that she's a demon in disguise. It's very likely that she possesses some kind of magical power that can confuse people's minds, even rewrite fate and disrupt the laws of nature. For some reason, she's lurking in Willow Town, pretending to be the daughter of a medical clinic. Perhaps it's to further her cultivation, or perhaps she wants to use her magical power to set up some backup plan..."
Yunzhen spoke eloquently, and Lin Yu was quite impressed.
This old Taoist is indeed worthy of being the "ancestor" of the "leader of Taoism" a hundred years ago... No matter how humble and easy-going he is, the professional ability and level he demonstrated with his opening words cannot deceive anyone.
Listening to Xuan Yunzi's description, Lin Yu almost thought that the founder of Taiqing Sect happened to pass by Liu Town and accidentally discovered Zhu Qiansi's arrangement. He had a conflict with the other party in a hurry and finally had to use the Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Art to resolve the incident.
But now it seems...
That's not the case at all!
At least at this moment, Yunzhen was fully aware of the problems in this town, and before meeting Zhu Qiansi, he had already understood the situation of the entire Liu Town and Zhu Qiansi's abilities.
but……
This made Lin Yu even more alert.
Since Yun Zhen was so well prepared and definitely strong back then, Zhu Qiansi still chose to start over from this point, which naturally means... Zhu Qiansi at least believes that even at this point in time, as long as she is prepared in advance, she will be the more confident one.
So, in other words…
Zhu Qiansi is also very strong.
"Fellow Daoist Qingyao, I was just about to investigate. Since you're here for the same reason, why don't we join us?"
As Yun Zhen was speaking, Lin Yu quickly spoke out to stop her.
"Senior Yunzhen, this is absolutely unacceptable. If we go there rashly now, won't we alert the enemy?"
Yunzhen was a little surprised to see Lin Yu trying to stop her.
"Why would this alert the enemy? If this demon was truly powerful, why would he be hiding? He must have known he couldn't defeat us, so he deliberately hid in the city... Otherwise, given the demon's habits, why would he do this?"
Yun Zhen said calmly, "I still have some strength. Besides, since Fellow Daoist Qingyao was able to find this place, he must be quite extraordinary... Didn't you bring some helpers with you?"
Lin Yu nodded, and following Yun Zhen's words, he explained the identities of the remaining people: "Yes, I did bring helpers - these are the people with aspirations that I have sought out, all masters of the martial arts."
"We've all been living in Liu Town for a while now. You can tell by the way we dress."
Yun Zhen nodded: "With the help of a martial arts master, wouldn't that be safer...Fellow Daoist Qingyao, why bother looking back?"
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment.
He can't say that although you, Taoist priest, may be able to seal the demon, the other party is already in the second round and may have been prepared, right?
If that's the case, Lin Yu can't judge how things will turn out or what kind of changes will happen in this illusion.
Therefore, Lin Yu could only grit his teeth and throw out some other unimportant facts: "It's like this, Taoist Yunzhen, I just said... I have lived here for a while, so I have discovered that most of the residents of this entire Liu Town have been affected by some kind of demonic power. The demon should be able to kill them all at the thought..."
"If we rashly alert that demon, nearly a million people in Liu Town might be put in danger."
Lin Yu believed that Yun Zhen should have vaguely realized this, and after his guidance, she should be more cautious.
but……
Yunzhen's answer was beyond Lin Yu's expectations.
He looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression.
"If that's the case... then we should take action now. We can't wait for the demon to wreak havoc on this town before harming more people, right?"
"Then this Liu Town has a population of one million..."
"I can't do anything about it," Yun Zhen sighed, but his tone was firm. "Fellow Daoist Qingyao, there will always be sacrifices to exorcise demons."
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment.
He now seriously doubted Xuan Yunzi's statement that Grandmaster Taiqing lived in guilt for the rest of his life...
Does Taoist Master Yunzhen really feel guilty?
