Chapter 1312: The Reason for the Moon Worship Sect's Demise
Whether it's poison or an antidote, Lin Yifan needed some, so he chose those poisons with strong toxicity that modern cultivators couldn't unravel.
His actions were once again stopped by Xiaofang.
Lin Yifan was taking extremely poisonous pills, and Xiaofang didn't know who Lin Yifan intended to use these poisons on. Was there someone in the Sect he didn't like? Did he really have so many enemies?
"Yifan, what are you planning to do with these poisons?"
"Deal with the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect."
Lin Yifan answered truthfully.
The Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect were too vast for him to handle alone, so using the methods that the Shadow Organization used to poison Shenzhou Country against them would be twice as effective.
Xiaofang suddenly understood after hearing this.
The elder sister Jiajia and younger sister Qingqing were kidnapped by villains, and their fate was still unknown, so it seemed Lin Yifan did have quite a few enemies. Using these poisons to harm them was indeed possible.
Du Yuze was very curious about the grievances between Lin Yifan and the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect, so he asked, "Boss, why are you targeting the Shadow Organization and the Bloodsucking Sect?"
"This is none of your concern. In short, I have a bitter grudge against these two foreign cultivation organizations." Lin Yifan answered with a face full of hatred.
Du Yuze wisely shut his mouth, as Lin Yifan's angry expression had already told him not to bother him anymore.
After obtaining the elixirs, Lin Yifan, along with Xiaofang and Du Yuze, left the alchemy room and entered the study to investigate.
There were several bookshelves in the study, with a desk among them.
On the desk were pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a few ancient books. It seemed that the elders of the Moon Worship Sect quite enjoyed researching literature.
Picking up and examining the ancient books on the desk, Lin Yifan discovered that these books were related to the secret manuals of poison refinement, leading him to deduce that the Moon Worship Sect could indeed be a poison refining sect.
These poison refining books were almost useless to Lin Yifan, as the materials recorded in them were mostly extinct or extremely rare in this era and could only be found in primeval forests or very remote areas.
Moreover, he felt that even with poisons, he couldn't kill any big figures because they had powerful inner strength and could force it out at any time.
After putting down these poison refining secret manuals, Lin Yifan went to the bookshelves to see if there was any discovery.
On the shelves were some books on military tactics and literary works, of course, there were also poison refining secret manuals. In addition, there were martial arts secret manuals and formation secret manuals.
Among the martial arts secret manuals, Lin Yifan found a book titled "Shadow Clone Technique."
From this, he could unravel the relationship between the Shadow Organization and the Moon Worship Sect; it turns out that the Shadow Organization's predecessor was the Moon Worship Sect.
After the Moon Worship Sect was destroyed, the Shadow Organization should be the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect, who fled to establish it on an island nation.
Now only one doubt remained: why did the once-powerful Moon Worship Sect perish so suddenly?
He wanted to get answers from the elders of the Moon Worship Sect, so he continued searching the books on the shelves.
Unfortunately, even after reading all the books on the shelves, he found no answers.
Helplessly, he could only pocket the "Shadow Clone Technique" secret manual and a few books on formations.
The "Shadow Clone Technique" was the Shadow Organization's unique martial art. He wanted to comprehend this martial art, find its flaws so that he could know his enemy and be invincible.
And the ancient formation books could consolidate his knowledge on formations; moreover, they might even assist him in unraveling the prohibition formation of the Desert Dynasty.
After all, the Desert Dynasty and the Moon Worship Sect were from the same era, and the Desert Dynasty was also conquered by the Moon Worship Sect and the foreign cultivation organization, implying that the Moon Worship Sect and the foreign cultivation organization must have had a way to break the Desert Dynasty's formations.
"Yifan! What books are you taking?" Xiaofang asked, genuinely curious.
"Some ancient books, to take back for reference," Lin Yifan replied.
The reason for concealing was not wanting to be discovered by the Medicine Saint; if the Medicine Saint were to ask Xiaofang, Xiaofang would surely prattle on every detail about the Secret Realm to the Medicine Saint. Therefore, to make himself stronger, he could only hide it from Xiaofang.
"What are they about?" Xiaofang pursued, a bit skeptical about Lin Yifan's statement.
"About some events that happened in the ancient era," Lin Yifan replied.
"Oh!"
Xiaofang, not knowing why Lin Yifan was researching these, had no evidence to press further. Since he didn't want her to know, he wouldn't tell the truth.
Du Yuze had the same doubts, as Lin Yifan generally wouldn't take useless things; it was either martial arts secret manuals or books recording the whereabouts of major treasures, just like the Moon Worship Sect elder's cave mansion this time.
Lin Yifan didn't elaborate, quickly made his way to leave.
However, as he was about to leave, he inadvertently glanced at several drawers on the desk.
These drawers he hadn't searched, not knowing what might be inside, so he went over to pull them out.
After pulling out several, he finally found something different in the bottommost drawer.
It contained many rolled-up scrolls tied with small strings.
Seeing these, Lin Yifan suddenly thought of ancient carrier pigeon messages. In carrier pigeon messages, pigeons would also carry small strips of paper on their legs, but the ones in the drawer were much larger than those in ancient pigeon messages.
This might be due to the larger flying carriers; if the flying carrier was large like an eagle, it could certainly carry such large strips of paper.
While pondering what large flying carrier might have assisted the Moon Worship Sect elder in delivering letters, he suddenly remembered the group of large black crows he had slaughtered outside. Perhaps it was this group of crows that secretly transported letters for the Moon Worship Sect elders.
If this hypothesis holds, it could explain why the black crows were perched on the Forbidden Land House. They weren't conquerors, but guardians—the Moon Worship Sect elder was their master.
"People of the Moon Worship Sect indeed like to keep such evil things; they truly are quite evil."
Curious about what type of letters these were, Lin Yifan opened and examined them.
What he saw was astonishing; he discovered some earth-shattering secrets, including events relating to the Moon Worship Sect's downfall.
It turns out that the demise of the Moon Worship Sect was caused by both internal strife and external threats, and the dangerous presence sealed in the Forbidden Land House was a person.
This person was originally the senior brother of the Moon Worship Sect hierarch. However, after the Moon Worship Sect hierarch seized the hierarch's position, he was imprisoned here.
The reason was that the hierarch's position was initially supposed to be passed on to the senior brother, but the Moon Worship Sect hierarch was dissatisfied, using conspiracy and deceit, framing the senior brother, then launching a coup to seize power.
