Chapter 6574
6574 The soul cleansing pool
“Aunty Zhang, from what I can feel, the one who attacked me was the killer from before! However, I’m not sure if the other party is just trying to deal with me! Perhaps dealing with me is just a side mission, and the real target is the Academy?”
Lin Yi’s brows furrowed, his face serious.
“Could this have something to do with the monsters from before?”
!!
Zhang jinmiao suddenly thought of something.
“That makes sense. These two things might really be the same thing. In that case, the other party might have kidnapped our students to create those monsters!”
The more Lin Yi thought about it, the more it made sense.
Central wanted to deal with Lin Yi, but it wasn’t convenient for them to do so. They could work with hidden death sect-they could capture the students as test subjects, and also take out Lin Yi. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“You’re saying that those monsters are man-made? Who would do such a heartless thing behind our backs?”
Zhang jinmiao’s expression changed.
“I’m just guessing. Aunt Zhang, you don’t have to be so nervous. ”
Lin Yi smiled, trying to ease the tension.”Auntie Zhang, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Do we still need to be polite between us? If you have something to say, just say it!”
Zhang jinmiao waved her hand. There weren’t many people around, and she didn’t need to be so formal with Lin Yi.
“Aunt Zhang, I suspect there’s a mole in Feiyang college!”
Lin Yi didn’t hold back.
However, Zhang jinmiao didn’t look surprised at all, as if she had expected this.
“Auntie Zhang, you’re not surprised at all. Could it be that you already have a suspect in your heart?”
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.
“No, but I’m not surprised at all.”
Zhang jinmiao raised her hand and pressed her forehead, looking distressed.””The compet.i.tion for the spirit cleansing pool wasn’t an impromptu decision. However, it was only recently decided that it would be held in the dark shadow Forest. Those who know of this news are all the middle and upper echelons of the Academy …”
“The other party’s targeted surprise attack was obviously well prepared. So, Auntie Zhang also suspects that someone has leaked the news?”
Lin Yi understood-no wonder Zhang jinmiao wasn’t surprised at all about the traitor. She’d guessed it all along.
“I don’t want to doubt it, but I can ‘t. The Academy has to conduct a secret reorganization.”
Zhang jinmiao sighed and waved her hand subconsciously. This involved the higher ups of the school, and Lin Yi couldn’t do anything.
It’d only make Lin Yi more annoyed if she said too much, so Zhang jinmiao stopped the topic.
“Lin Yi, you don’t have to worry about that. The most important thing right now is to enter the pool as soon as possible. I can only be at ease when you’re stronger. The enemy is in the dark, and they’re pretty strong-you can’t be in trouble!”
Zhang jinmiao’s face was extremely serious. Out of the seven most outstanding geniuses in the school, three were dead and four were missing. She couldn’t afford to let anything happen to Lin Yi.
From now on, Feiyang school could only rely on Lin Yi for all the inter-school exchanges. The other older students weren’t strong enough.
“I’ll work hard to improve my strength and try to get out of seclusion as soon as possible. ”
Lin Yi nodded.”Aunty Zhang, I’m going to the cleansing pool. Please take care of LAN ‘er. It’s best if she can go into isolated pract.i.tioning too. Don’t go anywhere!”
Shangguan LAN ‘er’s yard was protected by Lin Yi’s formation, and with the protection of the little spirit beast, it was safe.
This time, the enemy was using items to suppress the formation, so their actual formation skills might not be that high. This made Lin Yi breathe out in relief.
However, the only thing he was worried about was that he did not know how long he would have to stay in the soulcleanse pool. If he missed the next courtyard challenge, it would be impossible for Shangguan LAN ‘er to keep courtyard number two.
“You don’t have to worry about LAN ‘er. As her master, I will definitely protect her!”
Zhang jinmiao’s love for Shangguan LAN ‘er was no less than Lin Yi’ s.
“I’m naturally at ease. Then when can I go to the soul cleansing pool?”
Lin Yi put down his worries and prepared to focus on improving himself.
“There’s no time to waste, I’ll send you over immediately!”
Zhang jinmiao didn’t waste any time and called Lin Yi onto his flying spirit beast.
After a while, the two of them flew to the top of a mountain. From the surface, this mountain looked ordinary. The fluctuation of spiritual Qi was not obvious. It could be said to be the most ordinary mountain among the many peaks in Feiyang college.
But after getting closer, Lin Yi realized that there were high-level formations protecting the mountain. Not only were there defensive formations that hid spiritual energy, but there were also trap formations, killing formations, illusion formations, and so on. They were all high-level formations, too. This showed the importance of this mountain.
“Aunt Zhang, how long can I use the pool?”
Lin Yi asked.
“The recuperate soulcleanse pool can only be used by one student in a year. The limit is twenty days, so you must treasure this opportunity and not waste it!”
As she spoke, Zhang jinmiao took out a Jade token and placed it in the air at the peak of the mountain.
Lin Yi nodded as he looked at the Jade floating in the air. It was glowing faintly, and a door slowly appeared in the air.
The position of the Jade token was right in the middle of the door!
In just two breaths, the door was fully revealed. Zhang jinmiao did not need to open it, as it slowly opened on its own, revealing a Jade staircase that led downward.
“Let’s go down. ”
Zhang jinmiao turned back and nodded at Lin Yi before taking back the Jade tablet and walking up the stairs.”Pay attention to where I’m stepping. Follow me and don’t go the wrong way.”
“Yes!”
Lin Yi replied and followed.
Zhang jinmiao didn’t walk up one step at a time, and it was clear that this wasn’t something simple. Lin Yi scanned with his spirit and found that there were many mechanisms.
Lin Yi followed behind Zhang jinmiao, walking a few steps and jumping down a few steps, occasionally stepping back. Lin Yi didn’t have the time to study the secret of the Jade steps, since it was useless.
Fortunately, this jade stone staircase was not long. The two of them walked for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before they reached the end.
After walking down the last step, a huge stone door completely isolated the pa.s.sage.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, realized that there was a skinny old man sitting motionlessly beside the stone door, as if he was one with the stone door!
Lin Yi had used his spirit sense to scan the area before, but he didn’t find anything.
An expert!
Lin Yi’s heart s.h.i.+vered-Feiyang school really had a lot of resources!
He had originally believed that formations and mechanisms were all the defensive measures of the soul nouris.h.i.+ng soulcleanse pool, but he didn’t think that there would be such a powerful old man guarding it.
“Elder s.h.i.+, this is Lin Yi, the student who’s going into the pool this year. He’s a genius new student, and he’s quite strong.”
Zhang jinmiao quickly stepped forward and respectfully stopped in front of the old man. She bowed slightly to introduce him.
Lin Yi didn’t dare to delay-he followed suit and bowed.”Lin Yi greets elder s.h.i.+,”
