C208 It Was Premeditated?
2Lin Cheng frowned and said, "So, the people of Myriad Sword Sect already knew about the existence of the big bird?"
The man said hatefully, "They definitely know about it! During the few days I was hiding here, I had nothing to do, so I kept thinking about the situation at that time. I guess the people of Myriad Sword Sect must have taken a detour around the foot of the mountain. When I saw the scene of the giant bird chasing after the giant elephant, I found out the location of the nest of the giant bird. That's why they made preparations in advance! "
Lin Cheng asked, "You said that there are less than half of them by the lake, so are they the same as you? It was all because they were attacked by ferocious beasts such as giant elephants and giant birds that they suffered heavy losses. In addition, they had a conflict with the people of Unification Sect, and they had also lost some of their men. So, only these people are left? "
"This is absolutely impossible!"
That person blurted out.
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
"Because the people of Myriad Sword Sect are all dressed neatly!" The man said, "But the people of your sect seem to be in a sorry state. If the people of Myriad Sword Sect were really attacked by fierce beasts, then they should be in a sorry state."
"That makes sense!"
Lin Cheng nodded and moved the long blade away from the man's shoulder. He said, "So in your opinion, the people of Myriad Sword Sect have been prepared for this. They wanted to use this opportunity to let the big bird kill all of you and the people of Unification Sect. Then, they would be able to monopolize the rare treasures in the lake. Right?"
The man gritted his teeth and said, "That's for sure! Back at the top of the cliff, Zhao Zhouyang wanted to drive us down the mountain. But they were afraid of Junior Qiao, so they didn't dare go too far. Fortunately, Senior Brother was speaking up for us on behalf of justice, which was why the Myriad Sword Sect didn't succeed. However, they didn't expect that they would never give up on their evil intentions. They are still scheming against us in the canyon, and they even plotted against your sect! "
Lin Cheng looked at him, who was suppressing his anger. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he thought of something.
He remembered that when he was at the top of the cliff, the Myriad Sword Sect really wanted to expel the Longevity Sect from the mountain. At that time, he felt a little strange because logically speaking, the best way for the Myriad Sword Sect to do that was to join forces with the Longevity Sect and expel the Unification Sect. In this way, not only would they lose a strong competitor, but they would also lose a strong competitor. At the same time, it would also make it easier for them to control the Longevity Sect.
However, the Myriad Sword Sect wanted to expel the Longevity Sect. At that time, Lin Cheng felt that it was a little strange, but he didn't know what the people of the Myriad Sword Sect were planning.
"Could it be that the people of the Myriad Sword Sect have some understanding of the situation in this secret realm? Or, they already knew that the big bird was on the opposite mountain before they reached the top of the mountain."
Lin Cheng thought to himself, "In this way, the weakest Longevity Sect will be expelled, leaving the relatively stronger Unification Sect behind. At the most critical moment, we can turn the Unification Sect into cannon fodder. We can either attract the bird's attention or become the target of the bird's attack. The Myriad Sword Sect can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor, monopolizing the rare treasures! "
This thought flashed through his mind, but soon Lin Cheng shook his head, rejecting his guess.
If the people of the Myriad Sword Sect really had such a plan, then they must first know that there was a rare treasure in the lake, and that the big bird was on the mountain by the lake shore.
However, according to the time, the people of Myriad Sword Sect had entered the secret realm. They didn't delay or stop for even a breath of time, and continued on their way. They wouldn't be able to reach the canyon in such a short period of time, and they would be able to find some rare treasures in the lake.
This was because, since the moment they entered the secret realm, almost all the people of Unification Sect had followed the footsteps of the Myriad Sword Sect to explore. The people of the Myriad Sword Sect didn't have the time to complete this task.
Moreover, if the people of Myriad Sword Sect had really found out about this beforehand... Also, judging from the actions of the people of Myriad Sword Sect that day, they had to go down from the top of the cliff into the valley. Obviously, they didn't know how hard this mountain was.
So, after summarizing all these, Lin Cheng felt that the people of Myriad Sword Sect probably didn't know about the situation in the secret realm ahead of time.
However, it was hard to tell what kind of unusual actions the Myriad Sword Sect would take.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown and ponder.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Do you know which direction the people of Unification Sect fled to?"
"Which direction?"
The man was stunned by Lin Cheng's question. He shook his head and said, "Because of the sudden attack of that big bird, other than the people of Myriad Sword Sect, they were prepared for it. They could retreat in a calm manner, but none of them were prepared for it. It could be said that they were fleeing in all directions, looking extremely miserable. "
He paused for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, Senior Brother. I was also scared out of my wits back then. I only wanted to escape, so I had no time to care about anything else. So... I don't know which direction your people ran in. "
Lin Cheng nodded slightly. Although he was somewhat disappointed when he heard this answer, he understood what this person said was the truth.
Lin Cheng knew how scary that big bird was. If it wasn't for the fact that he had already reached his limit, and at the same time, he was also holding the Great Arrow that Monarch of Homo Clan had left behind, he might not be able to gain any advantage from the sharp claws of that huge bird, let alone these Cultivating Warriors.
"But..."
The man suddenly stopped talking.
Lin Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Just say what you want to say. There is no need to stutter."
"I'm not too sure either..."
The man hesitated for a moment before he said, "Two days ago, I accidentally heard some strange sounds in the forest. I thought it might be some other ferocious beast, because I don't have a weapon. So I didn't go over to check.
However, after a few hours, I came to this stream to drink water. I accidentally found traces of a person by the stream. I was thinking... Could it be that some senior brother was hiding nearby, just because they were very careful... That's why I never had the chance to meet him."
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure it's a person's footprint?"
The man said, "A human's footprint and a beast's footprint. I can still distinguish it clearly. I just don't know if they are from your sect or not. If I had a weapon in my hand that day, I would definitely come out to investigate. Maybe I would meet them... It's such a pity!"
Lin Cheng nodded and looked at Zhu Ziqiao. They both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
This person sounded regretful, but Lin Cheng could tell that he was saying this to hide the fear in his heart.
A dignified Cultivating Warrior and its strength was not considered weak. In this secret realm where there was no Demonic Beast, it did not even have the courage to come out and investigate.
One should know that Lin Cheng had heard a small detail from his words. This man first heard a strange sound, but he only came out to drink after a few hours.
Even if this person only spoke vaguely, Lin Cheng could imagine it. At that time, this person must have been hiding in the forest for a few hours in fear. Only then could he ensure that the nearby beasts had left. Only after that did he dare to come out and drink water!
Lin Cheng could not help but secretly shake his head. This person had already been scared out of his wits.
"Then that's it. Thank you for answering my questions. You can leave now." Lin Cheng said.
"Ah?"
The man was startled, then he quickly said, "Senior brother, can I come with you?"
Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "We are going to find someone. There will definitely be danger along the way. It's not appropriate to bring you along."
"Senior brother!"
When that person heard Lin Cheng's words, he immediately panicked. "Senior brother, although I am a disciple of Longevity Sect, there is no conflict between us and your sect. Our Sect Chief is even close to the elders of your sect... Although I, Wang Yansheng, am weak, I can still run errands for you. Besides..."
"Among the corpses that you have seen before, is there a person wearing a green robe?" Before Wang Yansheng could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Cheng.
"Green robe?"
Wang Yansheng was startled, then he shook his head and said, "No! All the people I saw were wearing the clothes of your sect or Myriad Sword Sect, not a single one of them was green!"
Lin Cheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, Zhou Chuan didn't die because of the conflict with Myriad Sword Sect. "Have you seen this person by the lake?"
"By the lake..."
Wang Yansheng shook his head and said, "The three of us were very far away from each other that day. I didn't see him clearly."
Lin Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "Wang Yansheng, it's not impossible for you to follow us. However, we will definitely go to the lake in the end. Are you sure you want to follow us?"
"Ah! By the lakeside? There, that's the territory of the big bird! "
When Wang Yansheng heard this, his expression couldn't help but change as his voice trembled slightly. He didn't ask why Lin Cheng wanted to go to the lakeside, because he knew... No one would be able to remain calm after hearing the news of the rare treasure. He was also tempted.
However, when he thought of the terrifying giant bird and his fellow disciples who had died tragically, he could not help but tremble slightly. He could not suppress the fear in his heart no matter what.
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "I know, but that giant bird won't stay there all the time. There will always be a time for it to leave, right?"
... ""
Wang Yansheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. In the end, he still didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with fear.
Lin Cheng looked at him and waited for a moment. When he saw that Wang Yansheng still hadn't made a decision, he shook his head imperceptibly. Wang Yansheng was indeed scared out of his wits and had lost all his courage!
"Since you don't want to go, then try your best to hide."
Lin Cheng said, "If I meet the people of Longevity Sect, I will tell them your location and ask them to come and find you."
After that, he turned around and said to Zhu Ziqiao, "Little girl, let's go."
Seeing Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao turn around and leave, Wang Yansheng wanted to say something. However, his face turned red and he could not say a word. He didn't dare to follow Lin Cheng and ___ to the lakeside, but he naturally understood. It was even more absurd to want Lin Cheng and Lin Cheng to stay with him.
