Chapter 903 The Elders in the Candle Dragon Cult

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“This… I didn’t expect that it would really exist.”

Baili Rui was shocked. He immediately took out a silver needle and quickly drew the blood beads attached to her clothes.

He carefully placed them in the jade plate and held it in his hands. He was actually a little mesmerized by it.

“Teacher really knows about it, but this thing may be a little different from the legend. I suspect that it’s not just some kind of plant or animal.”

In fact, Lin Mengya was still clueless about the secrets of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass.

And she could almost be sure that the other places might be covers other than the pool in the cave of the snow mountain.

Whether it was the strange belly of the mountain or the venom in the pool, it was almost certain that there must be made by someone.

In other words, the existence of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was carefully cultivated by someone.

The purpose was unknown as well as the person who cultivated it.

However, the change in her body was real. It was unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse.

“The Seven Poisons Sacred Grass is a rare treasure in the world. It’s normal that ordinary people like us don’t know the inside story. But girl, do you know that anyone who has the opportunity to get this treasure also carries a great mission? This is the secret of the Poison Sect. If you didn’t get it, I wouldn’t have told you to cause you any trouble.”

Lin Mengya looked at her teacher in confusion. Although he looked dispirited, he was unfathomable.

Otherwise, he would never easily get through it under Yunzhu’s watch.

“I don’t know. It was something of a fluke for me to get it. No one was there. I don’t know the mission either.”

Except for the jade ruler and the map at the bottom of the pool, she really knew nothing about them.

Baili Rui sighed when he saw the puzzled look on his student’s face.

There were also a few more traces of sorrow in his eyes.

“The first time I met you, I knew that you were destined for greatness. It’s true. You are Zuo Shuqing and Lin Muzhi’s daughter. Maybe everything has its own destiny. This secret which I’ve been carrying for decades must be revealed finally.”

His tone was relieved and helpless.

Lin Mengya’s heart kept pounding. She felt that the things what she was going to know today might change her fate.

But there were some things that were destined. She couldn’t avoid them, so did her teacher.

“Girl, you must keep everything I told you today in mind, and do not tell anyone. Because this secret is related to the whole world.”

Baili Rui was not as dispirited as before. His eyes were shining. Even though he was thin and old, he was incomparably noble at this moment.

It was a kind of temperament by nature which was not easily for ordinary people to pretend with their pride.

For the first time, she found that the little old man standing in front of her was absolutely somebody.

She nodded seriously. She even did not realize that there was a thin layer of sweat on her palm.

“I, Baili Rui, am not only a member of the Poison Sect, but also one of the four senior elders of the Candle Dragon Cult. Your grandfather is also one of us. Moreover, he is the head of us, and I am the weakest.”

This… really caught her unprepared.

No matter how hard she tried, she would never have thought that the teacher, who was chased by the Candle Dragon Cult, would be one of the four elders.

“But what on earth happened to make him suffer instead?”

Until his amazing words made Lin Mengya feel dumb for a while, Baili Rui laughed at himself.

“No matter how glorious the past was, it was just the past. It was nothing.”

“The Candle Dragon Cult was not such an ambitious unorthodox sect. On the contrary, it was to protect a certain thing in the past which we called the paradise city!”

“The Paradise city! The Paradise city again!”

It was hard for Lin Mengya to express her shock in words now.

Mr. Zhu, as her uncle, once told her that the Zuo Family had been looking for the paradise city for generations.

But she didn’t expect that the Candle Dragon Cult had actually been to protect the paradise city.

These things looked complicated, but it sounded same.

“We don’t know whether the paradise city exists or not. But there are many secrets in the Candle Dragon Cult, and it can last until now, relying on the ability of the paradise city. As for power, you may have evil thoughts once you get it. Twenty-five years ago, the previous head of the Candle Dragon Cult suddenly died, and the next candidates also had various accidents in a year. Originally, in this case, the position of the head should be temporarily taken over by the four of us until we choose a new leader. But at that time, there was an accident. In addition to Senior Zuo and me, the other two elders strongly recommended a young man to be the head. The change of the Candle Dragon Cult began from that man.”

The next plot was the ridiculous power-taking drama which Lin Mengya was already tired of.

The positions of the elders of the Candle Dragon Cult, including those of her grandfather and her teacher, were pasted from generations.

But as an elder, he could no longer be the head. This was a good way to keep the balance.

No one expected that the two elders, whose purpose was unknown, would recommend a newcomer at the same time.

Of course, Baili Rui and her grandfather did not agree, but then something serious happened. It was heard by someone that the former head and several candidates were murdered.

The other two elders took the opportunity to put forward a proposal that if the young man could find out the murderer, they would agree.

At that time, her grandfather was busy managing the Nation of Lintian, and her teacher was so young that he agreed without thinking much.

However, the results of the investigation were all pointing to her teacher and her grandfather.

But the strange thing was that the young man put down the accusation against her grandfather and teacher over the opposition of others. He only said that if they were willing to quit the Candle Dragon Cult, they could no longer pursue this matter.

After various consideration, her teacher and grandfather both agreed.

But it was not over yet. The two elders suddenly disappeared a year after they withdrew.

There was a rumor among the senior members of the Candle Dragon Cult that they had entered the paradise city without permission and had been punished by the ancestors.

Her grandfather was a very smart person. He told her teacher that he must find a place to hide.

It was that young man’s trick. His purpose was to control the whole Candle Dragon Cult.

Sure enough, after the disappearance of the two elders, there were constant people who wanted to kill her teacher and grandfather.

Fortunately, no one in the Candle Dragon Cult knew their other identities outside.

In fact, the Zuo family and the Baili family were their covers.

In this way, other than the seniors of the Candle Dragon Cult, no one knew that they were actually the elders of the Candle Dragon Cult.

Her grandfather was still the emperor in peace while her teacher became the Saint of Poison.

The Candle Dragon Cult also fell on the young man, the current head.

But to everyone’s surprise, in the past 20 years, the Candle Dragon Cult had changed into an evil existence which committed all kinds of evil deeds.

When her teacher brought up this matter, he couldn’t help but sigh.

After all, the Candle Dragon Cult used to be his mission and responsibility.

After hearing that, Lin Mengya frowned.

While her teacher was drinking, she quickly brought up what she was thinking.

“Since the Candle Dragon Cult is the guardian of the paradise city, then what is its current purpose? How could my mother be forced to die?”

Baili Rui took a deep look at Lin Mengya and shook his head helplessly.

“Alas, it’s all fate! Girl, do you know why those people chase me and Senior Zuo all the way, but they don’t dare to kill us? Because our families have the keys to open the paradise city. And the current head of the Candle Dragon Cult wants to open the paradise city and take out the things in it in order to control everyone!”

“Keys? But they all need keys to open the paradise city, right?

“Who is right, Uncle or Teacher?”

“To open the gate of the paradise city, you need to collect four keys. A thousand-year-old venomous insect, an undefeated jade flower, a thousand-year-old jade ruler, and a thousand-year-old fire seed. But with these four keys, if you want to see the immortal city, you still need someone’s blood.”

After that, her teacher’s eyes fell on her.

It was only then that Lin Mengya came to her senses. She opened her eyes wide and stared at her teacher.

“Is… is it my blood?”

Seeing her teacher nod with difficulty, Lin Mengya felt what rotten luck she had.

She thought it was a good thing to get the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, but it turned out that she had become a time bomb already.

Moreover, it was a kind of bomb that had been kept by others.

“What was going on? Why her?”

“That’s why I said it was a coincidence. The blood of the Zuo family is cursed. Anyone who enters the paradise city at will must be killed by the Zuo Family. Otherwise, seven people of the Zuo family would die every five years until no one of the Zuo Family is alive. At the same time, the Lin family was actually the guardian of the paradise city a long time ago. It was said that only the people of the Lin family could freely enter the paradise city without being punished by the ancestors. Later, your ancestors were afraid of being coveted by others, so they played a ruse of self-injury and then hid their whereabouts. Later, none of those who wanted to enter the paradise city came back alive. Moreover, the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass was also protected by the Lin family. So I guess the reason why they could enter the paradise city was the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass. Unfortunately, even if someone found the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, no one knew how to use it. As a result, no one could enter the immortal city any more.”

Lin Mengya swallowed a little. “Oh my god, I… I’m simply the biggest coincidence in the world!”
