Chapter 303: Insider

"Big Brother, don't you believe me either?" This Fifth Sister said with a forced smile.

"It's because everyone believes you, Fifth Sister, that we are giving you a chance to explain. As long as there isn't anything shameful in the box, opening it yourself will resolve everyone's confusion!" The old man said coldly.

Hearing this, the Fifth Sister's face was very colorful, turning red and white in turns.

When she looked at the others, the pained expressions of the tall, thin man and the others made her heart go cold; she didn't know what else to say.

So, after pondering for a moment, she gritted her teeth, suddenly stuffed the small box into her clothes, and at the same time, quickly pulled out a blue bead, holding it high above her head and shouting sternly:

"Don't force me, Big Brother! You all know this Heavenly Thunder Bead. I only ask to leave here!"

The woman's actions left the other members of the Meng Mountain Five Friends with drastically changed expressions, especially the youth who had always had a good impression of her; his face was even more miserable.

"It seems there's no need to look at what's in the box! Fifth Sister, you really have colluded with those people." The old man roared with anger and clenched his fists, stepping forward abruptly.

"Don't come over, Big Brother! Otherwise, I really will release it!" Fifth Sister revealed a panicked look and held the blue bead in front of her, making a gesture to release it.

Seeing this, although the old man was furious, he truly didn't dare to step forward. He knew the power of this Heavenly Thunder Bead very well.

"Fifth Sister, do you really intend to use this Heavenly Thunder Bead against us? You must know that this magic tool was bought for you by us few back then when we saw your cultivation was too low, specifically for your self-defense. Especially Fourth Brother, who took out almost all his savings. Now you are actually using it against us; isn't that going too far?" The middle-aged woman said with extreme disappointment.

And the youth on the side heard this, his lips moving with mixed feelings, but he still didn't say any words.

Fifth Sister heard this, revealing a few traces of shame on her face, but it flashed and disappeared. She still stubbornly said:

"What's the use of saying this now? I am different from you all. I must succeed in Foundation Establishment! The Black Fiend Sect people said that as long as the merit is great enough, the Sect Master can even help people succeed in Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment Pill, and there is no risk at all."

The tall, thin man frowned constantly, and couldn't help but speak.

"Fifth Sister, it's not too late to turn back! If you believe that you can reach Foundation Establishment without a Foundation Establishment Pill, they are just bullying you because you are young and deliberately fooling you!" This second brother of the Meng Mountain Five Friends said sincerely.

"Hmph, Second Brother doesn't need to lecture me. Whether it's true or not, I know it in my heart. At this point, there's nothing to hide! Actually, two years ago, during that trip, I joined the Black Fiend Sect. Therefore, the Sect Master's supernatural powers are something you outsiders can't imagine at all!"

The young woman sneered and revealed a piece of news that shocked the others.

"You joined the Black Fiend Sect two years ago? Then the capture of these few this time was also your doing?" Han Li, who had been silent on the side, suddenly interjected.

These words caused the hearts of the old man and the others to surge again, and their expressions turned to stare at the young woman. They didn't dare to believe that this Fifth Sister had truly done such a thing.

The Fifth Sister's expression was uncertain. After hesitating, she slowly said:

"That's right, I told the Black Fiend Sect people about everyone's whereabouts. But my original intention was also good; I just wanted everyone to have a chance at Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, according to the Black Fiend Sect's practice, those captured are usually blood-sacrificed; it's not that easy to spare their lives."

The young woman felt that at this point, there was no point in hiding it, so she simply told the truth.

"Hehe, so according to you, we few older brothers should thank Fifth Sister!" The black-faced old man said with a laugh of extreme anger.

"No matter what you think, I have no malice toward everyone! You all better not force me." The young woman's delicate face twisted slightly, and she raised the Heavenly Thunder Bead again.

But at this moment, Han Li suddenly smiled faintly at the woman and said:

"Heavenly Thunder Bead, it truly is a good thing!"

As soon as the words fell, his figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

"You?" Fifth Sister was quite sharp, and seeing this, she wanted to shake her wrist.

But a light breeze blew across her face, her wrist suddenly tightened, and Han Li appeared behind her like a ghost, grabbing her jade wrist.

"This thing is too dangerous; it's better for me to keep it!" Han Li didn't stand on ceremony, forcibly taking the Heavenly Thunder Bead from her hand and tossing it into his storage pouch.

Seeing her greatest reliance broken by Han Li like a child's play, Fifth Sister's face turned iron-blue, and she even forgot to struggle, revealing a look of fear for the first time.

"She is your sworn sister; I'll leave her to you. As long as she tells you everything she knows about the Black Fiend Sect, you can deal with her however you want. But I think you won't be stupid enough to let her go back and report the news!" Han Li looked meaningfully at the rest of the Meng Mountain Five Friends and said naturally.

Then, with a flash of white light on his hand, he quickly pointed a few times at the young woman's delicate body, restricting her true essence and making her unable to use magic power again.

Then, Han Li didn't hesitate to pull the box from the young woman's clothes and gently flicked the woman, throwing her to the youth who was still somewhat dazed.

"Thank you, Senior Han!"

The black-faced old man naturally knew that Han Li doing this was selling them a huge favor, so he said gratefully.

Han Li didn't speak, waved his hand, released a few yellow magic spells into the air, casually withdrew the sound-insulation barrier he had secretly set up, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Big Brother, what do we do?"

The second brother looked at Han Li's figure with a complex expression and whispered to the black-faced old man.

"Take Fifth Sister back to the room and control her first. After we finish our action tonight, we'll deal with her." The old man pondered and said.

"That's fine, at least it gives everyone time to calm down." The second brother nodded repeatedly in agreement. Then, he turned his head to the youth who was still holding the young woman and said:

"Fourth Brother, take Fifth Sister back to the room first!" The youth nodded blankly, holding the woman, and turned to walk toward the Qinyin Courtyard.

Seeing the youth's desolate back, the second brother sighed, a look of pity appearing on his face.

At this time, the middle-aged woman also came over and said:

"Is Fourth Brother okay? He has always been infatuated with Fifth Girl, but now..." The middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly, revealing a look of unbearable pity.

"Sigh, I also favored them both back then, but now it's impossible." The old man suddenly revealed an exhausted expression.

The series of shocking changes recently had left this usually decisive and resolute old man feeling extremely exhausted.

Then, the oldest members of the Meng Mountain Five Friends sighed with great emotion for a long time.

"Wait! Is Fourth Brother the only one taking Fifth Sister back?" The old man suddenly thought of something, his expression changing as he said.

"Yes, Big Brother! Is something wrong? Don't tell me you think Fourth Brother..."

The second brother was startled by the question, but his expression changed similarly, revealing a look of sudden realization and worry.

Then, the two didn't say a word of nonsense and rushed toward the Qinyin Courtyard.

Only the middle-aged woman, who was still somewhat confused, was left behind with a puzzled expression.

In the Qinyin Courtyard, the youth was sitting alone in a chair in the living room, dazed!

In front of him stood the black-faced old man and the tall, thin man, looking at each other.

The young woman was nowhere to be seen.

"Second Brother, Fifth Sister still has the restriction placed by the senior on her; she can't go far. You go chase her immediately! I'll go apologize to Senior Han and ask the senior to take action together. We must not let Fifth Sister run back and report the news to the Black Fiend Sect. If she truly refuses or has someone to meet her, then kill her!" The old man said with a grim expression.

"Understood, Big Brother!"

The second brother was startled, but immediately knew this was not the time to be soft-hearted, so he nodded solemnly and hurried out.

"Fourth Brother, you..., sigh!" The old man saw the tall, thin man go out, then turned back to look at the youth.

But seeing his absent-minded state, he couldn't bear to say anything more and sighed before going to find Han Li.

"It's fine, let her run! If your second brother doesn't catch her, don't chase her anymore."

Much to the old man's surprise, Han Li didn't reveal a look of panic upon hearing that the young woman had escaped from the Qin Mansion, just saying it lightly.
