Chapter 276: Chapter 243: Green Blade Sect Again

These people appeared here.

It’s obvious they are targeting us, and they know about the Heaven-Reaching Temple’s secret escape passage...

Very likely, they are the same group who attacked the female Taoists at Heaven-Reaching Temple; otherwise, how else would they know to use this secret path to ambush us?

"Go, retreat!"

Lin Miao waved his hand; since they know these people are coming from here, it’s much easier to deal with them.

The secret room is just the perfect place to catch them like turtles in a jar.

Everyone quickly retreated. Lin Miao had Liansuo and the others go up first; he stayed behind and lit his specially-made drugged incense.

As soon as these people enter the passage and enter this space filled with drugged incense, in a state of no vigilance, falling into the trap is almost inevitable.

Calculated against the unsuspecting.

If Mr. Xie hadn’t discovered the secret room under the back hall’s Buddha idol pedestal, tonight they would’ve caught us off guard.

"Junior Brother..."

"It’s okay, don’t worry, we won’t be in any danger." Lin Miao reassured him. Since the enemies have been discovered, it’s much easier to handle.

"Old Xie, find a door panel and block the entrance first!" Lin Miao ordered.

"Yes, master." Mr. Xie nodded. There’s nothing else here, but there are broken door panels everywhere. Just take one and it can block the entrance.

Of course, it’s obviously impossible to completely block it, but preventing the incense inside from dispersing too much is still possible.

Lin Miao gave each person a small black pill to hold under their tongue, which is naturally the antidote to the incense.

Then he had Lianxin accompany Sun Youwei back to the front hall while he and Mr. Xie guarded the secret passage entrance at the back hall’s Buddha statue, and Liansuo stayed outside the passage. When these people enter the passage, they can block it from behind.

Catch them like turtles in a jar.

It was silent here.

So even a slight sound could be heard, especially the sound from below.

About the time a stick of incense would burn.

Through the entrance, footsteps were heard from below, clearly indicating these people had reached the secret room space below.

"Senior Brother, what do we do now?"

"That Lin definitely didn’t expect us to appear here, but we must be cautious. Let two people go ahead first and scout. Heaven-Reaching Temple isn’t a small place; we need to ensure where they are staying tonight," the senior brother said.

"Senior Brother, I’ll go with Mr. Sha!"

"Alright, be careful. That Lin is quite vigilant, not easy to deal with, and he has disciples from the Snow Mountain Sect with him, don’t act rashly!" instructed the senior brother.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, we’ve been here before, we’re very familiar with Heaven-Reaching Temple!"

Lin Miao gave Mr. Xie a look.

Mr. Xie immediately understood, quietly removed the door panel blocking the entrance; if it’s blocking the entrance, it would surely be doubted by anyone coming out.

Now that they’ve willingly remained inside, only sending two people out, it’s perfect.

Only a few seconds passed.

Two figures emerged one after another from the entrance below the Buddha pedestal.

After briefly checking the surroundings and acclimating to the light, the two bypassed the Buddha pedestal and headed straight outside the hall.

These two are truly audacious.

However, they certainly didn’t expect that Lin Miao already knew about the underground secret room and was waiting for them outside.

Lin Miao lightly descended from the hall’s beam, and from behind the two, delivered two chops, causing them to faint with a thud.

Mr. Xie again covered the entrance with the door panel.

This would allow those below to bask in the drugged incense for a while longer!

...

After a while, a voice from below called out: "Why haven’t Mr. Liu and Mr. Sha returned?"

"Maybe these two guys got charmed by the beauties and lost track of time..."

Laughter erupted below.

"That Lin kid has quite the luck with women, such beautiful senior sisters, and those Snow Mountain Sect twins, if I can sleep with one, I’d be satisfied..."

"Once we kill that Lin kid, you can do as you like, after all, no survivors tonight!"

"Really, Mr. Chang?"

"Of course, it’s the Sect Leader’s order personally, Mr. Men Dong was imprisoned because of that Lin, how can this feud not be avenged?"

"True, why don’t we play with his women in front of him after killing him, that’d be thrilling..."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Miao’s face was frosty. These people were from the Green Blade Sect, not only aiming to kill him but also planning to insult his senior sister and Lianxin, Liansuo, these two women, in front of him; they are all despicable!

Their voices below were not quiet. Mr. Xie naturally heard them too and glanced at Lin Miao, knowing the master had murder in mind.

If they were in Dongshan City, the master might still be cautious and not massacre indiscriminately, but here, in the wild, as long as he’s not caught red-handed, the master never held back in killing, and he knows, countless people have died at Lin Miao’s hands.

Those who crossed him, none had good outcomes.

"Master, is it time yet?"

"No rush, wait a bit." Lin Miao raised a hand to stop Mr. Xie.

"Mr. Chang, why haven’t Mr. Liu and Mr. Sha returned yet, could they have acted privately?" someone speculated.

"Possible, let’s not wait any longer!" the leading Mr. Chang decisively ordered.

"Mr. Chang, I seem unable to channel my inner energy!"

"Me too..."

"Senior brother, I can’t either!"

"Pfft..."

"Brother Chang, it seems we’ve been poisoned..."

"Did you smell anything when you came in just now?"

"What smell?"

"It was kind of like sandalwood, very faint, I thought it was just the smell from the wooden furniture here..."

"Brother Chang, what should we do?"

"Retreat, retreat out, go back the way we came!" Brother Chang also tried, but he couldn’t gather his internal energy at all. Whenever he tried to circulate the qi in his Dantian, it felt like a knife twisting inside, the pain was unbearable.

Moreover, someone forced their qi circulation and ended up seriously injured, spitting blood.

It’s terrifying, how could this happen!

Is it too late to retreat now?

Including Brother Chang, this entire group from the Green Blade Sect, a total of fifteen men, was captured.

"It seems that Mr. Lin and the Green Blade Sect have quite the destiny, you keep causing me trouble and have tried to kill me more than once, so I see no reason to be merciful to you," Lin Miao said coldly, looking at Brother Chang.

"Lin Miao, you know we’re from the Green Blade Sect, so you should know that the Green Blade Sect is not something you can afford to provoke. I urge you, it’s best to release us, perhaps we can settle our grievances; otherwise, the Green Blade Sect’s revenge will be relentless," Brother Chang threatened Lin Miao boldly.

"You’ve all tried to kill me, and now you want me to let you go? Tell me, what are you thinking?" Lin Miao stepped on Brother Chang’s fingers.

The pain was excruciating, causing Brother Chang to scream instantly.

Hearing the screams from the rear hall, Sun Youwei, feeling concerned, came over with Lianxin, along with Lin Mao and Mrs. Yun.

The group heard the commotion and all came over.

"Junior brother, who are these people..." Sun Youwei gasped, covering her mouth in shock, suddenly seeing more than a dozen extra people, beyond what she imagined.

"Mrs. Yun, Lianxin, take senior sister away, this is no place for her to stay," Lin Miao ordered coldly.

"Alright," Mrs. Yun nodded, pulling Sun Youwei out of the rear hall, accompanied by Lianxin and Lin Mao.

"I have no grudge against your Green Blade Sect, it’s always been you looking for trouble with me. Do you think I am weak and easy to bully, or do you think killing someone like me is as easy as crushing an ant in the eyes of your Green Blade Sect?"

"Lin, since we’re in your hands, we have nothing to say, but think carefully. If you dare to harm us, suffer the consequences!"

"Xie, tell them what happens to those who dare mess with me."

"Hehe, our boss has always been kind to others, but when it comes to enemies, he never shows mercy. You people have really bad luck," Xie Shouchang chuckled.

"Who said they wanted to insult my senior sister in front of me just now?"

No one spoke.

"What, dared to say it but now don’t dare admit it!" Lin Miao coldly scanned all the Green Blade Sect members, snorting coldly.

"It was me, so what, Lin, if you’ve got guts, kill me!" one person stood up, sticking out his neck and shouting loudly.

"Alright, at least you’re brave enough to take responsibility, so I’ll give you a quick death!" Lin Miao directly pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed it into the person’s heart.

"You really dared to kill..." that person was also surprised Lin Miao really dared to kill him, without even a moment’s hesitation.

The remaining fourteen Green Blade Sect disciples were somewhat panicked. Being captured didn’t necessarily mean death; it usually wasn’t like this.

When captured, unless it’s a mortal enemy, killing is the last resort; who kills over a disagreement?

But this person in front of them clearly doesn’t operate normally.

He truly kills.

Moreover, when he kills, he doesn’t even blink; his gaze is as calm as slaughtering a chicken.

This Lin must have killed before, and not just one!

But he’s only seventeen, so young, how could he have killed? He is also a physician, a healer.

How could he kill?

How could he dare kill?

Xie Shouchang remained unperturbed; he had seen Lin Miao kill, and more than once, and he knew very well how ruthless this young boss of his, Mr. Lin, could be, especially those who offend his senior sister Sun Youwei; that’s like touching his reverse scale.

And the most direct way to solve trouble is to eliminate the root.

"Who else, stand out, if I have to point you out, it won’t be pretty; you’ll die a horrible death."

"Is it you?"

"No, not me..." The Green Blade Sect disciple questioned was so frightened that his face turned pale, quickly waving his hands in denial.

"You then?"

"No..."

"It’s you, I recognize the voice!" Lin Miao without hesitation ended this Green Blade Sect disciple with a knife. Whoever spoke, whoever remained silent, as long as they spoke, he could recognize them.

After killing two people, Lin Miao’s expression did not change. He hated the Green Blade Sect people. Originally, he had no grudge with them, yet they insist on putting him to death; they even wanted to insult his senior sister and Lianxin, along with Liansuo, the sisters. You can imagine what kind of things people who say such things usually do?

Killing these people could be seen as upholding justice.

"Can anyone tell me how you knew that under the Sumeru seat at the back of the Heaven-Reaching Temple is a secret passage leading out of the temple?"

"If I tell you, will you spare my life?" a Green Blade Sect disciple, clearly scared out of his mind, directly asked.

"If your answer pleases me..."

"I’ll tell..."

"Chen Qiang, shut up, if you dare to speak, your entire family won’t be able to live!" Brother Chang shouted angrily, his eyes almost popping out.
