In the back mountains, Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaoli were hiding there. He had learned everything from Wang Juan. His master, Yang Bingyi, was the murderer of his parents and the entire village!
"Impossible! You have no evidence; you can't say that!" Zhang Xiaoli couldn't believe it. How could his kind master be a killer?
"Then why do I remember it as the cultists who did it?" Zhang Xiaoli looked at Wang Juan.
"That's because she used a secret technique to seal that part of your memory. This is the unsealing elixir; take it, and you'll know the truth," Wang Juan said with a smile.
Initially, Zhao Liguo had given her this elixir so she could reveal the truth to Zhang Xiaoli at a critical moment. Since Zhang Xiaoli had received some care from certain senior sisters, it made it easier for him to cause trouble.
Zhang Xiaoli looked at the elixir in his hand, cautiously sniffed it, and after confirming there was no problem, he swallowed it.
Boom!
In an instant, a flood of memories surged into his mind. In the dark of night, Yang Bingyi wielded a blood-red sword, her hair disheveled, killing anyone she encountered in the village. His parents had tried to protect him, urging him to hide among the ruins. He then watched helplessly as they met a tragic end.
So it was like this...
Zhang Xiaoli felt completely dazed.
【Ding! The luck of the child of destiny, Zhang Xiaoli, has completely turned black; luck points have been plundered.】
Chen Anlin, who had just stepped out of his cave dwelling, paused for a moment.
Zhang Xiaoli turned black? Did he find out about his true origins?
Chen Anlin stroked his chin, feeling perplexed. Even if he learned about his origins, the problem was that Yang Bingyi did not kill intentionally. This left only one possibility: the person who informed him might have only told half the story, omitting the reasons behind it. In other words, the truth had been distorted!
Things were getting worse; a large group of rogue cultivators was heading up the mountain. At that moment, someone finally shouted at the entrance of the sect. Some disciples were taken aback and hurried over.
They saw over a hundred martial artists charging in. Although these fighters were not particularly strong individually, they were fearless and fought to the death, exchanging injuries for kills. Many disciples were stunned by this scene; after all, when had they ever witnessed such a situation? Moreover, aside from a few high-ranking officials who knew that the Sect Leader and Elders were unharmed, most disciples believed that the upper echelons of Baihua Sect had been injured. Faced with such an assault, many panicked.
"Everyone, stay calm! Our sect has protective formations; we will be fine!" Wu Qianlian and an Elder took charge of the situation, shouting loudly.
At that moment, Chen Anlin arrived with Yang Dou and several guards.
"Wu Sister, where is Zhang Xiaoli?" Chen Anlin asked.
"I don’t know! I just called for reinforcements but didn’t see him anywhere. I have no idea where he went," Wu Qianlian replied with a helpless expression.
"Where is the formation eye?" Chen Anlin inquired.
"What’s wrong?"
"I suspect someone might try to sabotage it." Chen Anlin was worried that Zhang Xiaoli, being the Child of Destiny, would definitely attempt to destroy the formation eye. After all, he had already turned against them; he would undoubtedly be a key player in this sabotage.
"I'll take you there." Wu Qianlian believed Chen Anlin's words without doubt now. After all, he had saved the Sect Leader and brought so many guards to protect this place.
In her heart, Chen Anlin was undeniably a person of good character. Even if he were to let out a fart now, she would think it was well done. This must be the feeling that most people experience after developing a fondness for someone, right?
"Yang Dou, you lead the guards and protect the entrance!" With that command, Chen Anlin, along with Wu Qianlian and Su Menghan, rushed towards the center of the formation.
"Young Master Chen, why did you suddenly ask about Zhang Xiaoli?" Wu Qianlian asked, puzzled.
"To be honest, I suspect Zhang Xiaoli is an insider for the Taijiao," Chen Anlin explained.
Wu Qianlian was taken aback, her eyes wide with disbelief. "That’s impossible! Zhang Xiaoli is someone I’ve watched grow up. Both my master and the other sisters have treated him well!"
It seemed that Wu Qianlian was unaware of some underlying truths. So, Chen Anlin proceeded to share what he knew.
Wu Qianlian's eyes widened even further. "What? Master is the one who killed Zhang Xiaoli's parents!"
"Yes, but she was poisoned and her mind became chaotic. If someone were to manipulate her thoughts, what do you think would happen to Zhang Xiaoli?"
"I still believe in him. After all, if Master really wanted to kill someone, she could have easily taken care of him too."
Wu Qianlian nodded in agreement. "Then let’s check out the center of the formation."
As they approached the formation's center, Chen Anlin suddenly sensed something and caught a whiff of blood.
At the center of the formation lay an elder and two disciples who were supposed to guard this area, all sprawled on the ground.
Zhang Xiaoli grinned wickedly as he murmured, "The poison Wang Juan gave is powerful enough to take down a fourth-tier elder."
"Zhang Xiaoli! What are you doing?!" Wu Qianlian exclaimed sharply, startling him.
"Sister?" Zhang Xiaoli stammered in panic.
Although he had decided to betray his sect, he still thought that Wu Qianlian and the others were quite decent people. He had even planned to take her away with him; after all, being close to her would surely give him an advantage in winning her over.
But unexpectedly, his actions had been discovered.
