Chapter 611 - 289: Exposed (Part 2)

Even after more than two hundred years, when the Blood Domain Divine Sect harmed various major factions, he was just a member of the Cyan Cloud Sect, which also shows that his status in the Cyan Cloud Sect was very low back then, and he was not qualified to see the Qinglong Cauldron at that time.

In short, Lin Tianlin’s journey in cultivation so far has been remarkably brief, possibly surpassing everyone’s expectations.

"You need not worry, since these two treasures have fallen into your hands, they are yours. Neither I nor anyone within the Cyan Cloud Sect will covet them.

If the Divine Sect dares to target them, I and everyone within the Cyan Cloud Sect will protect you."

Lin Tianlin, fearing Jiang Feng’s misunderstanding, hurriedly returned the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow to Jiang Feng.

"Sect Leader is overthinking it. If I had such thoughts, I wouldn’t have taken out the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow to show you."

However, Jiang Feng shook his head and did not take back the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow.

He organized his thoughts and said, "I suspect the Blood Domain Divine Sect is pretending not to know me, perhaps because they know my identity as a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, or perhaps they want these two Innate Magical Treasures and are deliberately ignoring me to make me lower my guard."

Lin Tianlin shook his head: "Regarding your identity as a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master, you need not worry about it being leaked. Upon learning of your strength, I immediately had Master Chang and Master Xiang sign the Blood-Burning Oath, so the Divine Sect cannot possibly know."

"I know the Sect Leader will find ways to protect me, ensuring that Master Chang and Master Xiang have no opportunity to leak it out, so the problem lies with the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow."

After hearing Lin Tianlin’s words, Jiang Feng spoke with certainty.

"What do you plan to do?"

Lin Tianlin believed Jiang Feng had come up with a plan.

"Sect Leader, don’t laugh at me. I have always been one to cherish life and fear death. Since keeping the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow with me will bring danger, please take them."

Jiang Feng said.

"Your mind really is filled with cunning ideas."

Lin Tianlin couldn’t help but laugh.

He already understood Jiang Feng’s intention; to hand over the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow to the Cyan Cloud Sect wasn’t possible, but let the people of the Divine Sect believe that these two items had fallen into the hands of the Cyan Cloud Sect, and not with Jiang Feng.

"In any case, I will first hand over the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow to the Sect Leader. I have other matters to attend to, so I take my leave."

Jiang Feng chuckled and hurriedly left.

Shortly after he left.

A message came, stating that the Cyan Cloud Sect would host a Treasure Appraisal Meeting for the personnel of the Divine Sect the next day.

The next day.

The Cyan Cloud Peak Main Hall was crowded with talent.

Elder Fa Zheng led the visiting personnel from the Divine Sect, all gathered in the Main Hall, while Lin Tianlin brought the elders of the Cyan Cloud Sect, displaying some Magical Treasures in the Main Hall for Fa Zheng and his group to appreciate.

Jiang Feng and Huang Li were both among the crowd.

"Elder, look quickly, it’s the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow!"

Wu Qiyang immediately spotted the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow.

Fa Zheng was incredulous, forcing a smile at Lin Tianlin: "Sect Leader Lin, weren’t the Qinglong Cauldron and the Dragon Bone Bow always within the Dragon Capital Underground Palace and the Divine Sect Mansion? When did they come into your Cyan Cloud Sect’s possession?"

"Haha, Elder Fa Zheng is joking. The Qinglong Cauldron was originally a heritage treasure of our Cyan Cloud Sect, and as for the Dragon Bone Bow... it is now also one of our Cyan Cloud Sect’s heritage treasures."

Lin Tianlin reminded.

"Sect Leader Lin is right, I was merely curious as to when these two Magical Treasures returned to your Cyan Cloud Sect’s possession?"

Fa Zheng could only follow Lin Tianlin’s words.

"It was a coincidence, Elder Fa Zheng may not believe it, but it was thanks to the secret assistance of the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall that these two treasures returned to our Cyan Cloud Sect."

Lin Tianlin said meaningfully.

"Didn’t Sect Leader Lin send people to kill everyone in the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall? If they helped, why did Sect Leader Lin do that?"

Wu Qiyang asked.

Upon his question, Fa Zheng realized something was wrong and glared at him fiercely.

Lin Tianlin, however, burst into laughter; he was waiting for Wu Qiyang to ask this question.

"You know about Huang Li’s past, so how can you not know into whose hands these two Innate Magical Treasures fell while in Central Earth?"

The Cyan Cloud Sect’s Grand Elder, Ji Tiansong, sneered.

"Jiang Feng, come over here."

Lin Tianlin beckoned.

Jiang Feng, standing in a corner, obediently came to Lin Tianlin’s side upon hearing the call.

When Fa Zheng saw Jiang Feng emerge, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Lass, you too."

Lin Tianlin also waved to Huang Li.

"Master."

Huang Li felt puzzled but obediently stood in front of Lin Tianlin alongside Jiang Feng.

"A year ago, Master Xiang left the sect to investigate your past in Central Earth, and now I know everything about you. I can even tell you everything about your past."

Lin Tianlin spoke earnestly.

"Please, Master, tell me everything."

Huang Li responded, filled with emotion.

"Actually, Jiang Feng and you are alike, both originating from Central Earth. He knows everything about you. He says he saved you. If we count when you first met, when you escorted the caravan to Nanfu City together, and he used the Loulan Slash to slay the Water Leopard King as times he saved you, then indeed he did save you, and even your father.

But if we consider his grudges with the Blood Sea Immortal Venerable and the Lin Family Cultivator, especially what happened between you and him in the Divine Sect Mansion, then he nearly killed you back then.

So Jiang Feng is both your benefactor and your enemy."

Lin Tianlin said seriously.

He knew so much, not just because of Xiang Pangyun’s investigation but mainly because Jiang Feng had confessed truthfully. After all, when Jiang Feng and Huang Li first met, it was during the Great Tang, over a hundred years ago, a time when even if Xiang Pangyun dug deep, he might not have known everything clearly.
