Long Road to Stardom

It seems that I have to go to the palace tonight to investigate and see what happened inside.

Lin Xing took advantage of this time to investigate the layout of the formation in the city. She found six array centers, but she did not choose to break them because there were restrictions on them. If someone broke them, the person who set up the formation would know it first.

However, she did replace the things in the eye of the formation as a backup plan. Fortunately, this was only a second-level formation, the 'Yin Sha Formation', but it was just a simple version. If it was a complete 'Yin Sha Formation', the people inside would have disappeared long ago, and she probably would not have been able to escape this disaster either.

Although it is a second-level formation, ordinary foundation-building cultivators cannot detect it and will only find it a little eerie, let alone mortals who have not practiced cultivation.

Lin Xing suddenly felt a little emotional that he had inherited the formation, otherwise he would have to spend more effort.

At night.

Lin Xing put an invisible talisman on himself and took a "Hidden Spirit Pill". When his body became transparent, he went to investigate inside the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Lin Xing was stunned by the scene inside. It was pitch black everywhere, which affected her vision. Fortunately, it had little effect on her spiritual consciousness. However, the black fog seemed to erode her spiritual consciousness. Although it was very slight, how could she hide it from her?

Lin Xing withdrew his spiritual sense and walked deeper into the palace.

The further she went inside, the thicker the black fog became, and she didn't see anyone on the road.

Lin Xing came to the deepest part of the black fog, where he could clearly smell a foul odor.

This is a rockery in the palace. Lin Xing found a mechanism at a certain location on the rockery.

When the mechanism was opened, a door appeared in a rockery, and the smell became even more foul.

Lin Xing held his breath and walked towards the door.

She walked inside soon and was stunned by the scene in front of her. There were many corpses placed inside, and the blood had been drained from each corpse. It looked horrifying.

Looking at the clothes on the corpses, they were all eunuchs, palace maids, and guards. No wonder she didn't meet anyone on the road. It seemed that they had all been killed.

But where does this drained qi and blood go?

She didn't find anything else inside except the corpse.

Lin Xing left this place and investigated other places, and finally found a living person in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Judging from their costumes, they should be concubines, princes and princesses, but from the looks of them, they don't seem to be affected by the black fog at all.

Lin Xing carefully checked the surrounding environment and found that there was a small formation here that isolated the black fog.

But why would that person let these people go?

She seemed to be missing a point?

Where was the emperor among this group of people? She didn't see any of the people who controlled the palace.

Lin Xing went to the imperial study in the palace, but it was empty and no one was there.

She came to the Imperial Master's Mansion again, and it was also empty.

Where exactly are these people hiding?

She found several places where the other party hid the bodies, but she still couldn't figure out where the blood and energy drained from these bodies had gone.

She seemed to have made a mistake.

Lin Xing frowned. If it were her, what would she do?

Suddenly I thought of something. This person must have expected that the sect would send people to check it out, so he created a false illusion and used the things in the palace as bait. I guess the base camp is outside the palace!

There are still three days until the Immortal Fate Conference. If I come a little later, or if the sect sends a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage, that person would probably succeed.

Lin Xing left the palace directly and went outside to investigate.

Hey, the formation in the city seems to be activated. Lin Xing feels the blood and energy in his body flowing out. He quickly isolates it and flies in the direction of absorbing the blood and energy.

Although the amount of blood and energy drawn was very small, if this continued for a long time, even the healthiest person would get sick. No wonder she saw so many families holding funerals today.

Following the flow of air, Lin Xing came to a mansion.

"Su Mansion."

This seems to be the queen's hometown.

Lin Xing walked in. It was pitch black inside. The black fog was much deeper than that in the imperial palace. He quickly cast a simple barrier around himself.

It seems that this is the base camp.

Moreover, there is actually a second-level formation set up here. No wonder you can't tell what it looks like inside from the outside.

Just as Lin Xing was about to check out the situation here, a cloud of black mist attacked her.

She took out the magic weapon she had refined, the 'Thunder Sword', and directly split the black fog apart. Sure enough, the sword had a great inhibitory effect on the black fog.

Lin Xing also saw clearly the person who attacked her.

There was a slight flash of surprise in his eyes. How could it be her?

Although almost ten years had passed, Lin Xing still recognized it at a glance.

"Su Qing, is that you?" Lin Xing asked with a hint of inquiry.

I saw the man holding his head with a look of pain?

Lin Xing quickly went over and touched her forehead, and Su Qing fainted in her arms.

Lin Xing wanted to continue exploring, but looking at the person in his arms, he decided to send her to a safe place first.

Lin Xing took Su Qing directly to the dilapidated temple outside the city. When the little boy saw me coming with someone, he helped to prepare a place for me.

She didn't hesitate and placed Su Qing on it. She used her spiritual sense to explore her body and found that her body was full of red threads. These red threads were connected to the entire brain. As long as she moved slightly, Su Qing would look in great pain.

Lin Xing had no other options for the moment and could only set up a simple barrier in her mind to temporarily resist the erosion of the red silk.

She knew nothing about evil things, so she could only let her sleep temporarily to prevent the red thread from invading her.

Lin Xing stood up and prepared to leave to continue investigating the Su Mansion. He then thought of something and took out a talisman and gave it to the little boy next to him.

"Take good care of this person. As soon as he wakes up, tear up this talisman and I will rush back immediately."

Lin Xing also made a simple jade token with a few defensive spells on it and gave it to the little boy to carry.

In order to prevent accidents, she didn't want Su Qing to wake up and kill the little boy because of her absence.

After doing all this, Lin Xing left the ruined temple and headed towards the "Su Mansion".

As soon as Lin Xing left, Su Qing woke up.

Although Lin Xing gave the little boy several layers of protection, they had no effect on her and she directly controlled the little boy to do things for her.

According to the memory of this body, the owner of this body lived in this dilapidated temple for a few days, and three of the children were the ones he brought to the sect that year.

Could it be that the Jindan cultivator sent by the sect was the little girl back then? Otherwise, how could he know the owner of this body? Although he didn't believe that an inner sect disciple could advance to the Jindan stage in ten years, and the person's face looked nothing like the little girl back then.

But despite this, this person was not someone he could deal with, so she had to think of a way to deal with him.

Since his plan to refine the "Blood Demon Pill" has failed, why can't he occupy that person's body?

Looking at the little boy not far away, Su Qing suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He originally wanted to suck the blood of the two people in the ruined temple dry and escape, but now his plan cannot do without the cooperation of these two people.

At this time, the night was dark, and it was even darker inside the "Su Mansion". However, the black fog seemed to be lighter than when Lin Xing came here before. She searched inside the "Su Mansion" for a long time but did not find any sign of a living person. Finally, she found an entrance in the lake inside the mansion.

When Lin Xing walked towards the entrance, he smelled a foul odor, which was several times worse than that inside the palace. It seemed that this was the place.

As soon as he reached an intersection, a spell attack came towards him. Lin Xing was prepared, so he blocked it and dodged inside.

She also discovered who attacked her. Wasn't it 'Senior Brother Kong'?

Master Bai said that Brother Kong's fate card was broken, so why is he still here?

There were two monks beside 'Senior Brother Kong', but their eyes had rolled back and they were attacking mindlessly.
