Chapter 3279: Who Will Take Responsibility?

Listening to Wu Shuhang, the mysterious person wants the Yingzhu to kneel before Lin Zhulu, and Wu Tianlin realized something serious was wrong.

He had been by the Yingzhu's side for nearly a hundred years, knew the Yingzhu's affairs best, knew the Yingzhu had searched for Lin Wanan for over three hundred years, and knew Lin Wanan had no cultivation at all, aside from having five hundred years of yang lifespan, the rest of her advantages were probably only her intelligence.

But what Wu Shuhang said today overturned his many years of understanding of Lin Wanan.

He couldn't help but sigh to Wu Tianlin: "It seems we have underestimated Lin Wanan all these years; this woman might have already solved what the Yingzhu has dreamed of seeking; the matter is urgent, I will immediately go report to the Yingzhu, wait for my news."

Wu Shuhang urgently begged: "Grandfather, please, for my sake, say a few good words for me before the Yingzhu, do not bring further punishment upon me!"

"Rest assured." Wu Tianlin sighed, saying: "This matter, I will certainly try to speak up for you."

After saying that, he added: "You send me a video of your hand condition, I will present it to the Yingzhu."

Wu Shuhang hurriedly said: "Okay, grandfather, I will film and send it to you right away!"

After hanging up, Wu Shuhang used his left hand to film his own bloody right hand, then, gritting his teeth, went to the bathroom and filmed his seemingly reborn left hand in front of the mirror.

Wu Tianlin received the video and immediately rushed without stopping to seek an audience with Wu Feiyan.

When Wu Feiyan heard the mysterious person had given Wu Shuhang a Remolding Pill, her whole body's hairs stood on end at that moment, and she blurted out to Wu Tianlin: "Are you telling the truth?! Did that person really give Wu Shuhang a Remolding Pill?! A Remolding Pill that can reforge a golden body?!"

"Absolutely true!" Wu Tianlin hastily opened the video Wu Shuhang sent and handed it to Wu Feiyan, saying: "Yingzhu, this is the video I had Wu Shuhang send; a few days ago, when the Three Great Elders stood by his left hand, they showed mercy and treated his wound very neatly, with almost no bleeding, but that mysterious person struck viciously, directly tearing off his right wrist with his hand, the wound already a mess of flesh and blood; look at his left hand, you can hardly see any injury, even appearing finer and more tender than the skin on his wrist."

Wu Feiyan watched the entire video without blinking, her whole body already beginning to tremble violently uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth and coldly growled like a beast: "Refining the Remolding Pill, as well as the Eternal Youth Pill, both require a very precious medicinal ingredient, namely Phoenix Bone Vine; I even have eighty percent confidence guessing that the Hundred Reversals Thousand Returns Pill's formula also contains Phoenix Bone Vine; I have searched for it for hundreds of years, even had the members of the Anti-Qing Restoration Society search for it for hundreds of years, yet never found its trace; where exactly did this person obtain it?"

Wu Tianlin hastily said: "Right, Yingzhu, I haven't finished yet; when the mysterious person left, he had Wu Shuhang deliver a message to you, mentioning Lin Zhulu!"

Wu Tianlin dared not, in Wu Feiyan's presence, speak the exact words Ye Chen had Wu Shuhang relay, so he could only hint at this matter being related to Lin Zhulu.

Upon hearing the three words "Lin Zhulu," Wu Feiyan was instantly struck as if by lightning, her whole body panicked to the point of dazedness, and she blurted out: "He... how could he know Brother Zhulu?"

After speaking, she came to her senses, immediately switched to an icy tone and questioned: "How could he know the name Lin Zhulu?! In this world, besides you and me, who knows Lin Zhulu? Probably only Lin Wanan!"

Although Lin Zhulu struggled half his life for the restoration of the Ming and overthrow of the Qing, the historical records contain not even a fraction of mention about him.

The reason is that the Anti-Qing Restoration Society never amounted to anything before Lin Zhulu's death; before fleeing into the Dashan, the Society was pursued by the Qing court until only Lin Zhulu and Wu Feiyan remained; after Lin Zhulu achieved some success in the Dashan, he indeed considered reviving the Anti-Qing Restoration Society, even overthrowing Qing rule and restoring the Han Chinese realm, but he never imagined being struck by Wu Feiyan's hidden arrow, dying before achieving success.

After Wu Feiyan emerged from the Dashan, failing to find Lin Wanan, she re-established the present Anti-Qing Restoration Society; but since the day she founded it, this Society has never again done anything for the restoration of the Ming and overthrow of the Qing, and from that moment on, the Society became a highly secretive organization, with no records of them in the world.

Moreover, even if someone occasionally heard of this now-three-hundred-year-rebuilt Anti-Qing Restoration Society, outsiders would not know who its founder is, outsiders would not even know that the founder of this generation is called Wu Feiyan, let alone know that among the previous generation's founders, there was a person named Lin Zhulu.

Therefore, when Wu Feiyan heard the mysterious person mention Lin Zhulu, all her thoughts were instantly thrown into chaos at that moment.

And this is also Ye Chen's purpose.

Although this uses Lin Wanan's father's name taboo, it in itself will not cause any bad influence on Lin Wanan.

After all, Lin Wanan has been searched for by Wu Feiyan for hundreds of years; whether or not Lin Zhulu is mentioned, she is the person Wu Feiyan most wants to find; and mentioning it, on the contrary, will make her change her previous judgment that Lin Wanan would only be crushed by herself, and make her feel awe toward Lin Wanan.

As expected.

At this moment, Wu Feiyan clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and shouted fiercely: "I truly did not expect Lin Wanan to actually possess such ability! Whether this mysterious person is cultivated by her or not, one thing is certain: this person must be related to her, and very likely closely related!"

Wu Tianlin hastily said: "Yingzhu, you once said Lin Wanan herself has no cultivation, so logically, she could not possibly cultivate a powerful master!"

Wu Feiyan coldly said: "I have always told you, Lin Wanan must be captured alive and not killed, mainly because she holds a treasure left by my master to my senior brother; that treasure has vast divine powers, enabling one to blink and teleport a thousand miles away, and my master also said that ring is the key to whether the restoration of the Ming and overthrow of the Qing can succeed; I have always suspected that inside it, some method hides certain arts not taught to me, as well as the formula for the Hundred Reversals Thousand Returns Pill; what I worry most now is whether Lin Wanan has actually found the method to unlock the ring's hidden contents."

Speaking of this, Wu Feiyan added: "Originally I thought, Lin Wanan has no strength to bind a chicken, let alone half a trace of spiritual energy, so she must be incapable of comprehending its mysteries; but now, at this point in time, I have hesitated, I worry this mysterious person is Lin Wanan, using the hidden contents in that ring to cultivate a cultivator; although she herself has no cultivation, once she finds a good seedling like Ru Yu, she only needs to give him the method, and he can comprehend the Dao on his own; if true, this person's danger level would be far higher than I previously estimated!"

At this moment, Wu Feiyan's expression carried a touch of pain and a touch of jealousy, gnashing her teeth: "I searched for hundreds of years and found no Phoenix Bone Vine, but this person not only has Phoenix Bone Vine, he even refined it into Remolding Pills! Most hateful is, he actually treated the Remolding Pill like a snack to tease a dog, giving it to Wu Shuhang, he with one palm severed Wu Shuhang's right hand, fundamentally just slapping my face from afar!"

After speaking, she looked at Wu Tianlin and blurted: "Tell Wu Shuhang, order him to cut off his own left hand! Today's matter, besides you and me, must not let anyone else know!"

Wu Tianlin couldn't help but shudder, hastily saying: "Yingzhu, although Wu Shuhang is at fault, he already lost one hand; if he is made to cut off his left hand, he would become completely useless!"

Wu Feiyan glared angrily, questioning: "You wretched thing! Have you considered what the Three Great Elders would think if they found out? Wu Shuhang's left hand was cut off by them; when the time comes to meet again later, they will see his left hand regrown but his right hand gone, they will immediately realize what happened, realize the enemy is far stronger than imagined! Even the enemy possesses what I have dreamed of obtaining but could never get! Such a thing, in the enemy's hands, can be casually taken out and wantonly wasted! Perhaps they will think the enemy's comprehensive strength even surpasses mine! By then, morale will collapse, who will bear the responsibility?!"
