Chapter 987: Human Heart Is Evil

Five fusion-stage giants from Lingbao Sect gathered in one room to discuss important matters. Ordinary people could not get close to them.

But now, the scenes of their discussion were recorded by someone using a photo stone and spread out.

It was terrifying to think about it.

The person who was peeping at the record was probably even more powerful than the five fusion-stage cultivators from Lingbao Sect!

Who was this person?

What was his purpose in giving this jade slip to Qingxiu?

Lin Mu thought of this in an instant and became alert.

Ningxiang City was really like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, unfathomable. It was far from being as peaceful and calm as it seemed on the surface. In fact, it had already been surging in secret.

As an outsider, his understanding of this place was too superficial.

Before, he was hot-headed and wanted to deal with Lingbao Sect. Now this jade slip made him sober up a little.

Whether it is Lingbao Sect or the cultivator who recorded such a green jade slip, they are extremely powerful and beyond expectations.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Lin Mu decided to understand it clearly before taking action.

Ningxiang City is not just Lingbao Sect. The major forces are intertwined, complicated and complementary. If he attacks Lingbao Sect, there may be other forces to help Lingbao Sect, and there may also be forces lurking behind, preparing to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind.

There are too many variables here.

In a duel between masters, a slight change can determine the outcome, or even life and death.

What he has to do now is no longer a simple duel between two people, but a collision between forces.

Any carelessness may lead to the demise of a force, with extremely far-reaching consequences.

Lin Mu originally thought that he stayed to deal with Lingbao Sect, and he had an explanation to Qingxiu and Qingyu Sect. He was not an ungrateful person.

Now, he suddenly realized that even if there was no interest relationship between Qingxiu and Qingyumen, he would have to deal with Lingbaomen sooner or later.

As long as he saw this green jade slip.

Lingbaomen always wanted to kill him and gain benefits, trying to take advantage of this to soar to the sky. They had already made plans in secret and were about to attack him.

It is better to take the initiative than to wait for death.

For his own sake, he would not let Lingbaomen and Wang Le go.

However, this matter cannot be rushed now.

Lin Mu gradually calmed down.

Even Lingbaomen knew that he had bought land in many cities and planned to build Feixian Palace. In the future, he could earn endless spirit stones just by selling the jade slips, not to mention his treasures, and he might also have a peerless inheritance, and he also comprehended the boundless killing domain of the late sword domain. Even various rare secret techniques can be used as rewards to cultivators who enter the Misty Fairyland.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a movable peerless treasure.

A powerful force like Lingbao Sect would be moved if they knew about it, would other forces remain indifferent?

At least, the cultivator who was hiding in the dark and peeping at the records must know him better than Lingbao Sect.

Is this person a friend or an enemy?

Lin Mu looked straight at Qingxiu, waiting for Qingxiu's answer.

"You know this person." Qingxiu did not hesitate or hide the slightest intention, and immediately replied, "He gave it to me."

"I know him?" Lin Mu was surprised.

In Ningxiang City, he knew only a handful of cultivators, and even the top masters were even rarer. Even Wang Le, he had never seen him before, and only knew his true identity through this green jade slip.

Who is this person?

"You only know a few people in Ningxiang City, you should know it by guessing." Qingxiu looked at Lin Mu and said, still not telling Lin Mu who he was.

She had already told Lin Mu that Lin Mu knew this person.

If Lin Mu still can't guess, it can only mean that Lin Mu is still a little immature. It is difficult for him to stay in a city like Ningxiang City full of intrigues for a long time. This time, he dealt with Lingbaomen in a moment of impulsiveness without thinking it through.

In this case, there is no need to continue this matter.

Otherwise, it will be a disaster, and Lin Mu's life may be lost.

"Could it be Fei Qing?" Lin Mu asked without hesitation.

"He is indeed a peerless genius. He is gifted in cultivation and is also clear about these things." Qingxiu smiled when she heard it.

When masters fight, the real battle is already the final stage. All kinds of intrigues in the early stage are also extremely important. Sometimes, the final battle is already reaping the fruits of victory, and the result of the battle is no longer suspenseful.

It is good that Lin Mu can guess Fei Qing in the first place.

At least he has been prepared in his heart and will not be so rash.

"It seems to be Fei Qing. Among the cultivators I know in Ningxiang City, Fei Qing is the only one who can peek into the secrets of Lingbao Sect." Lin Mu looked solemn and asked, "I have also seen Fei Qing. You also reminded me that he is a smiling tiger and I should be careful. Then why did he give you this green jade slip this time?"

"Could it be that he is interested in you too?" Lin Mu asked.

"He is a man with great ambitions. How could he focus on love?" Qingxiu said, "He gave me this jade slip. I can guess some of his purposes, but I am not sure whether it is correct."

"Why not listen to it? It is always better to distinguish between two people than one person." Lin Mu suggested.

"Do you still remember why I joined forces with you in the first place?" Qingxiu did not answer directly, but asked Lin Mu instead.

"We all have grievances with Lingbao Sect. The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Lin Mu said, "If we join hands, we will naturally be better than fighting alone."

As soon as Lin Mu finished speaking, he immediately understood and couldn't help but wonder, "Does Fei Qing also have grievances with Lingbao Sect?"

"Fei Qing and Lingbao Sect don't have any direct grievances." Qingxiu explained, "But Lingbao Sect is powerful and very popular in Ningxiang City. Wang Le and Fei Qing have a tendency to compete with each other. After all, the real owner of this city is still Fei Qing. Wang Le has already threatened Fei Qing's position. It goes without saying that he gave me this green jade slip."

"Want us to join hands to fight against Lingbao Sect and weaken its momentum?" Lin Mu asked.

"I guess he had this purpose." Qingxiu agreed, "But I didn't plan to show you this jade slip at first, so Fei Qing's plan would fail."

"Fei Qing must think that I would drag you down for the sake of my own interests and the interests of Qingyu Sect, but I have actually made plans to fight to the death with Lingbao Sect, but I didn't expect you to be so persistent." Qingxiu sighed, "Unexpectedly, you finally saw this jade slip."

"I have to admire Fei Qing's strength, and his goal was finally achieved." Lin Mu followed, "He must know that I won't stay here for a long time. If I want to save Qingyu Sect or protect myself, the best solution is to strike first."

"Yes, he has already calculated what we will do next, and every step is in his plan." Qingxiu frowned.

"He used a knife to kill someone, and he was really clever." Lin Mu said unhappily, "He is stronger than Wang Le, but he still wants to take my hand to hit Wang Le's arrogance, or even get rid of Wang Le. He is really cunning and hard to guard against."

Fei Qing's wrist is really too strong.

A jade slip is to push Lingbaomen into the abyss, and may even bring a catastrophe to Lingbaomen.

Such a person is really terrible.

Hiding in the dark, he can achieve his goal without taking action himself.

Lin Mu was angry and helpless.

He guessed Fei Qing's intention, but there was no better way. He could only act on Lingbaomen in advance as Fei Qing imagined and become Fei Qing's accomplice.

Lin Mu's thoughts drifted further and further.

Was Fei Qing really doing this just to weaken Lingbaomen's momentum?

He and Qingyu Sect joined forces, and their apparent strength was not as strong as Lingbao Sect. When two tigers fight, one must be injured. According to common sense, most of them can only weaken the strength of Lingbao Sect, so that Fei Qing can achieve his goal.

What about himself?

According to common sense, most of them will suffer heavy casualties, or even die directly.

Fei Qing couldn't have thought of this.

Then he still gave the blue jade slip to Qingxiu.

The hidden murderous intention in it suddenly emerged.

Fei Qing also wanted to use Wang Le's hand to get rid of himself!

Who wouldn't be tempted by all the treasures on his body?

Fei Qing was no exception.

Lin Mu was even a little unsure whether Fei Qing wanted to use him to weaken the strength of Lingbao Sect, or to use Wang Le's hand to get rid of him, and then reap the benefits.

Or, he had both purposes, and he had calculated them all.

Lin Mu thought more and more deeply.

Fei Qing even had a backup plan. If he succeeded by chance and destroyed Lingbao Sect, and he survived, Fei Qing would still have a way to deal with him.

He had agreed to a request from Fei Qing before.

And this request was probably a huge trap, waiting for him to jump in at any time.

Too scary!

Thinking back, Lin Mu felt a chill in his bones.

If he was right, Fei Qing was much scarier than Lingbao Sect.

It was really hard to guard against.

Even if you knew his conspiracy, you still had to follow his expectations and fall into his trap step by step.

This was the mind of the lord of the big city.

It was so profound that it made people palpitate.

Lin Mu was also very grateful. Fortunately, it was the current him. If it was the past, he would definitely not be able to think so far. If he couldn't think of this layer, he would naturally be unable to guard against it. Then when the time came, everything would be too late.

Looking at Qingxiu, Lin Mu's heart was warm.

If Qingxiu hadn't reminded him to be wary of Fei Qing, he wouldn't have thought so much, and he might have regarded Fei Qing as a good person.

Lin Mu suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly summoned the Five Elements Magic Mirror, urged his spiritual sense, and explored the surroundings.

The spiritual sense spread to the surroundings, and did not find any suspicious signs. Lin Mu was relieved and retracted his spiritual sense.

He just suddenly thought that Fei Qing might record the scene of his conspiracy with Qingxiu in the photo stone and send it to Lingbaomen to intensify the conflict and let Lingbaomen take action against him and Qingxiu in advance.

If so, the plan he and Qingxiu had discussed could not be implemented.

Even if Qingxiu invited Wang Le, Wang Le would not have come alone with precautions.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

Be more careful in the future. Lin Mu couldn't help but secretly warn himself.

People's hearts are sinister and hard to guard against.
