Chapter 3565: Someone Else is Liar

In this world, no one knows Wu Feiyan better than Lin Wan'er.

This woman is what people now often call a super-male. She is full of malice towards people and the world, and everything is based on her own interests.

When her father rejected her love, she immediately killed him without hesitation. This proves that she was already prepared before confessing her love to her father. If he agreed, the two of them would be a perfect couple. If he didn't agree, she would kill him immediately and take the elixir and ring for herself.

Her love and hate changed so quickly, all in her own thoughts.

There have been many such people throughout the years. Even in modern civilized society, there are some selfish people like Wu Feiyan who, when their love proposals fail, immediately become murderous.

Therefore, if Wu Feiyan felt that she had no chance of living for another 500 years, given her personality, she would definitely fight to the death, and it is unknown how many people would be buried with her.

And right now, the only one who has the chance to eradicate her is probably Ye Chen. If Ye Chen's cultivation remains stagnant or progresses slowly, I'm afraid no one will be able to do anything to her.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er sighed softly and said with emotion, "Objectively speaking, Madam Ye's family will indeed be a great burden to the young master. Now is the time to put aside romantic feelings."

Seeing that Lin Wan'er supported his point of view, An Chengxi's expression instantly relaxed a little. He smiled and said, "When I saw you coming, I thought you were here to help Chen'er find Xiao Churan. Fortunately, you and I can reach a consensus on this matter."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "I came here mainly to find out who is behind all this, young master. Now that the truth is out, I feel relieved."

She paused briefly and continued, "I dare not delay too long, fearing that the young master might find out about my whereabouts. I will return shortly. Before I leave, I have one more question for Madam Ye."

An Chengxi looked at her and asked, "Senior, you must be asking about the whole story of Meng Changsheng in the Shiwan Mountains, right?"

Lin Wan'er's eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "Communicating with Madam Ye really saves a lot of trouble and effort."

Lin Wan'er figured out many problems the moment she met An Chengxi.

But she still didn't know why An Chengxi arranged for that fake nun to stop her and Ye Chen outside the Shiwandashan Mountains, and also warned them that there was a huge danger inside.

Deep down, Lin Wan'er has always been fascinated and respected by Meng Changsheng. After all, he was her father's mentor and the person her father respected the most. Moreover, she had never heard her father mention that her master Meng Changsheng had done anything bad.

Therefore, she could not understand why An Chengxi was so wary of his master.

Also, she didn't know whether her master was dead or alive.

An Chengxi wanted to speak, but when he saw Master Kongyin sitting cross-legged beside him with a respectful look and without saying a word, he hesitated for a moment.

Lin Wan'er noticed her observing Kong Yin and said, "Zhengping is my adopted son. He is a well-behaved man with excellent character. Madam, you can rest assured."

An Chengxi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said in a shocking tone, "I suspect that everything that has happened to Chen'er now is the result of a scheme laid out by Meng Changsheng over the past few hundred years. He deliberately let the earliest "Nine Profound Sutra Preface" and "Nine Profound Heavenly Sutra" flow into the secular world. The mission of the "Nine Profound Sutra Preface" is to find people with dragon character, induce them to practice enlightenment, and then induce them to voluntarily divest their dragon character and give it to their offspring, thus creating a person with a rising dragon fate. The "Nine Profound Heavenly Sutra" was prepared for the rising dragon fate, in order to polish the rising dragon character into what Meng Changsheng needs, and then lure it to the Shiwan Mountains..."

At this point, An Chengxi said solemnly, "I think Meng Changsheng went to great lengths to plan all this in order to seize another body and cultivate anew! To extend his life!"

"Occupying a body and rebuilding..." Lin Wan'er frowned and said, "I've only heard of this kind of thing, but it's all just hearsay, with no real evidence."

An Chengxi said, "I only found out about this by chance. After Chen'er began practicing the Nine Profound Heavenly Scripture, I went to the Shiwan Mountains to help him find opportunities. I originally wanted to find the immortal abode where Meng Changsheng practiced in seclusion. However, I never expected to meet a Taoist priest of Master Kongyin's age in the Shiwan Mountains. The Taoist priest suddenly appeared, blocked my way, and told me that if I went any further, I would reach the Blood Lake Hell."

"Blood Lake Hell?" Lin Wan'er blurted out, "The Blood Lake Hell mentioned by Taoists should just be a legend like the Eighteen Layers of Hell! How could it be in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

An Chengxi explained, "The Blood Lake Hell that Taoists refer to is a place where the resentful spirits of those who died unjustly or committed sins gather. The Taoist priest said it was the Blood Lake Hell because, just like the Blood Lake Hell that Taoists describe, many people died unjustly there. The Taoist priest said that deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains is a formation that was created with the sacrifice of countless lives, and that formation is still in operation today. An evil cultivator must have perished within it."

"Bingjie..." Lin Wan'er murmured, "I've heard that Bingjie is when those who fail in their tribulation escape abandon their physical bodies but retain their spirits. So... this is the legendary path to becoming an immortal!"

"Yes." An Chengxi nodded heavily and continued to explain: "The Taoist priest also said it was the way of the Loose Immortal."

Lin Wan'er was puzzled, "But, that shouldn't be the case... It's said that in this world, only cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage can achieve a transformation into a Loose Immortal at the moment of failure. Others simply don't have the possibility of a transformation. Once their lifespan ends, their souls will be shattered and their spirits will be destroyed! Master's cultivation level hasn't even surpassed a thousand years of lifespan, let alone the Tribulation Crossing Stage. How could he possibly achieve the transformation into a Loose Immortal?"

An Chengxi sighed, "This is the most terrifying part. The Taoist priest himself is a cultivator. He told me that any cultivator's primordial spirit will dissipate into thin air after death. The reason why the evil cultivator in the formation was able to dissolve despite his lack of strength is because before his death, he used the lives of countless people to replicate a blood lake hell in the Hundred Thousand Mountains according to Taoist legend. That blood lake hell has transcended the Five Elements and Three Realms and hidden it from the cycle of reincarnation!"

"If there really is purgatory in this world, then he has essentially created his own purgatory in the human world. Heaven thinks it's part of Hell, and Hell thinks it's part of the human world. And that evil cultivator who kills countless people can die here without being punished by Heaven."

At this point, An Chengxi looked at Lin Wan'er and asked seriously, "To be able to kill countless people in the Shiwan Mountains, this incident must have happened in ancient times. Meng Changsheng has been in seclusion in the Shiwan Mountains for many years, so he is naturally the most suspicious. Moreover, Meng Changsheng has lived for a thousand years. Given his obsession with immortality, he is the most likely person to have done such a thing."

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "But... my father once said that my master-master died of natural causes after living for a thousand years. Before he died, he gave two Eternal Green Pills to him and Wu Feiyan. After my father and Wu Feiyan took care of his funeral, he was about to leave the mountain when Wu Feiyan attacked my father. By then, my master-master had already passed away. If he was the evil cultivator, that would contradict what my father said. He told me all this before he died, so I don't think he would lie."

An Chengxi sighed, "Senior, your father didn't lie. It was Meng Changsheng who lied."
