242: Framed By The City Lord

Framed By The City Lord

When the small broken furnace had completely fused with the formation and truly fused into it, a boundless light burst forth. It was so piercing that Lin Bai could hardly open his eyes. At the same time, he could feel the ground shaking violently as countless fragments fell from his head.1

And deep within the mountain, it was as if something had been awakened. All the disciples of the Alchemist Association saw an unprecedented spectacle.

They saw that in the back of the mountain, on the mountain peak that was shaped like a cauldron, something was pulling out from the ground. However, it quickly sank in. It was just that the speed was too fast, and they had no time to clearly see the shadow of that thing.

It seemed to be a small furnace.

On Lin Bai's side, he saw a stream of light enter the furnace. The small cauldron that was shaking crazily suddenly became quiet. When the light disappeared, a huge force rose from the ground.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands pushed the small cauldron to Lin Bai which finally landed in the center of his palm. The entire process was only a few seconds. Lin Bai was stunned and did not understand what had happened.

The surroundings gradually became calm. Everything was calm as if nothing had happened. If it was not for the fact that there was not a single drop of spiritual power left in his body, and the small cauldron that seemed to have no changes but somehow became heavier, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

It was as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Fool Li ran over excitedly. "Eldest senior brother, how do you feel? Did anything change?"

Lin Bai did not know how to recount the current situation. If he was to say that he was fine, all the spiritual energy in his body had been sucked dry. If he was to say that he was not fine, his body did not feel uncomfortable at all other than the lack of spiritual energy. Instead, he felt a little energetic.

"There doesn't seem to be any changes."

When Fool Li heard that, his eyes widened and he shouted excitedly, "How can there be no changes?" He did not give up. He sized up Lin Bai from head to toe. He paced around on the spot and kept muttering.

"How can there be no change? Where did the problem occur? It's impossible. I did everything according to Master's instructions. Could it be that I've remembered wrongly..."?

When he reached the end of his frustration, fool Li actually began to pound his head hard. He kept banging his head against the wall at the side. Lin Bai hurriedly stopped him.

Faced with Fool Li's expectant gaze, Lin Bai said against his will, "There might be some changes."

He glanced at the small cauldron in his hand that had suddenly become heavier. It was strange. There was clearly nothing inside, but it had become much heavier. Could it be because of his spiritual power.

Recalling the memory just now, he vaguely saw something fall into the dazzling light. However, when Lin Bai looked for it, there was nothing.

Lin Bai was studying the changes in the small cauldron, but he did not know that the outside world had turned upside down.

...

The City Lord gave the order to capture Lin Bai. When Yan Hua and the survivors woke up, everyone inquired and found out that they all said that it was Lin Bai's sudden attack that caused them to fail in refining the medicine. Everything was done by Lin Bai.

After their retelling and speaking, Lin Bai had clearly become the mastermind behind all the evil deeds. Clearly, their memories had been tampered with. Moreover, this method was extremely superb. Outsiders could not see any clues at all. Even they themselves did not have any doubts.

If Lin Bai was here, he would definitely refute. However, it was useless to refute. He would never be able to prove his innocence.

"Elder Yan, how are you feeling? Are there any other areas of discomfort?"

Yan Hua shook his head. Seeing that the City Lord was actually in front of him, his heart immediately became excited. "City Lord, you're finally fine!"

"Thank you for your hard work these days. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to last this long."

Yan Hua felt a little guilty when he heard that. "City Lord, your words are too polite. This is what we should do. This is what we should do."

At the same time, he noticed that not only the City Lord, but several major forces in the capital had also arrived. It could be said that there were many strong people gathered. It was rare to see such a large group of people here.

However, their expressions were all solemn, as if something major had happened.

At this moment, someone asked, "Elder Yan, do you still remember what happened before you fainted?"

Elder Yan sank into his memories. "At that time, we originally wanted to refine medicine for the City Lord, but in the end --" he was just about to speak when he saw that in the blind spot where no one could see, a scarlet light flashed in the City Lord's eyes.

Yan Hua felt a splitting headache, as if he was about to explode. "It hurts, it hurts so much."

The City Lord hurriedly consoled him from the side. "Elder Yan, don't be anxious. Think slowly. Don't miss anything."

His words seemed to have some magic power, causing Yan Hua to slowly calm down. He looked at the black pupils in front of him, and his eyes were a little stunned. There seemed to be a deep and unfathomable vortex in there, and he had accidentally fallen into it.

In an instant, he became like a marionette, losing his soul. However, these abnormalities were fleeting, and Yan Hua quickly returned to normal. He said word by word,

"It's all Lin Bai. We can only blame him for disguising himself too well. Previously, we did not discover his true appearance, so we accidentally fell into his trap and almost caused an irreversible disaster. Fortunately, everyone came in time. Otherwise, if that monster really ran out of the seal, you and I would be sinners for all eternity."

Yan Hua was filled with righteous indignation, and it was impossible to see anything that went against his heart. The words of the others were more or less the same. In any case, they were blaming Lin Bai. When the City Lord saw this, a smile flashed across his eyes, and then he joined the crusading army.
