Chapter 1106: Chapter 268: Seizing the Dragon Blood Ganoderma, the Sinister Five Poison Demon Sect
However, my own mother, the Mother Gu, intended to pass the position of temporary leader to me.
But this was discovered by my brother, and Na Su, under the suggestion from Zhang Keqing outside, targeted me for assassination.
While they schemed, I hid under the stone table behind the cave.
Knowing this, Little Linglong was terrified and ran straight here to hide.
This place is her and Lord Jin’s secret base.
As for Linglong’s relationship with Lord Jin, it’s quite mysterious.
As the child of Mother Gu, I was taken to the edge of the golden pool for baptism after birth.
The hope was to gain Lord Jin’s approval.
But the water of the golden pool is extremely poisonous, and many children fall because they cannot withstand its toxins.
However, Linglong is an exception because, according to legend, she has the purest Jiuli bloodline in her veins, a true Holy Master Descendant.
For her, this pool’s water is like ordinary clean water; upon contact, she felt no discomfort, even found it pleasant, and thus swam in the pool from a young age.
And Lord Jin isn’t as vicious as he appears.
He’s actually quite benevolent, like a grandfather, often taking care of Linglong.
One could say Linglong’s best friend is Lord Jin.
So upon hearing that her brother and the outsider Zhang Keqing planned to harm her, she was frightened and immediately ran to this secret base.
Chen Jie finally understood.
It turns out this is a secret power struggle story. In theory, the little Linglong before him was the rightful inheritor of the Five Poison Sect, yet her brother Na Su, to seize the role of acting leader of the sect,
collaborated with the newly arrived Zhang Keqing to plot against Linglong, intending to gain the acting leader position.
Linglong inadvertently overheard their conversation. Once her brother discovered her, he immediately sent guards to chase her down.
She fled, ultimately reaching the golden pool, where she finally escaped the guards’ pursuit.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Linglong and said, “Faced with such an ordeal, shouldn’t you first report it to your mother, the Mother Gu?”
Linglong replied, “No, no, my mother is seriously injured; during her seclusion, no one can disturb her.”
Chen Jie said, “Even when they are trying to kill you, you can’t disturb her?”
Linglong replied, “My mother is undergoing a silkworm transformation. If disturbed, the best case is serious injury; the worst case could even be fatal.”
Chen Jie frowned and said, “Silkworm transformation?”
Linglong replied, “Don’t you know? That’s our Five Poison Sect’s ‘Heavenly Silkworm Divine Skill,’ allowing one to heal injuries by cocooning after being wounded.”
Chen Jie exclaimed, “That’s incredible.”
Linglong said, “Of course.”
Chen Jie then asked, “When did that Zhang Keqing arrive?”
Linglong replied, “Hmm, not long ago. Just after a beam of light flew into the Ten Thousand Gu Mountain, he came and claimed he wanted to join our Five Poison Sect.”
“My mother said this person was cunning and not a good person, so she drove him away.”
“Unexpectedly, my brother invited him to become a Guest Elder.”
Chen Jie pondered slightly after hearing this and said, “Is this person a Han?”
Linglong nodded lightly and said, “Yes, a Han.”
Chen Jie understood in his heart; being a Han, his motive became clear. He must be after Wu Mu’s Legacy. However, his information was exceedingly accurate; as soon as the light arrived in the Xiangxi Region, he already knew?
And he came to pledge allegiance in advance, impressive.
Thinking so, Chen Jie asked Linglong, “By the way, what exactly was in that light, have you found it?”
Linglong replied, “I don’t know. Before I hid here, we hadn’t found it, but that Zhang Keqing seemed very concerned about this matter.”
Chen Jie nodded knowingly, it’s unsurprisingly distressing.
It seems that Zhang Keqing came specifically for this matter.
With this in mind, Chen Jie said to Linglong, “Linglong, since you are the daughter of Mother Gu, can you help me beseech her for the Dragon Blood Ganoderma? Chen Jiusi would be eternally grateful.”
Linglong frowned upon hearing this.
Chen Jie said, “Miss Linglong, if there’s anything troubling you, I can help, consider it a personal favor! In the future, for any request you make, it will not be refused.”
Linglong hesitated and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to ask Sister Yaya for the Dragon Blood Ganoderma, it’s just that I can’t see my mother!”
Chen Jie frowned and said, “How could you not be able to see her?”
Linglong replied, “The place where my mother is in seclusion is the Sect Leader’s secret chamber. To enter, the only path is under the Sect Leader’s Golden Chair, which is constantly guarded by at least one rotating elder. Now, most of the elders have been bought by my brother; as soon as I appear, they’ll catch me and hand me over to my brother.”
“Besides, even if we sneak to the Sect Leader’s Golden Chair, it’s useless; there are mechanisms there, and it takes the Tokens of five elders to activate them.”
“So, to see my mother, we need to gather the Tokens of five elders first, then activate my mother’s mechanism to find her.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie remained silent, contemplating for a long time before saying, “It seems, to see your mother, I must help you reclaim your position as the temporary leader.”
Linglong said, “How can we reclaim it?”
Chen Jie, hearing this, looked at Linglong and said, “Linglong, first tell me about the personnel structure of your Five Poison Sect, including their rankings.”
Concerned that Linglong might not understand, Chen Jie prompted her.
Linglong replied, “Oh, it’s like this, the Five Poison Sect has one leader…”
Chen Jie didn’t expect Linglong to not be as simple as she appeared; she could articulate the structure of the Five Poison Sect accurately. It seems she was trained by Mother Gu previously.
