CHAPTER 376: LIN HUA 2

"The first is that Feng Xue entered a secret realm or a dangerous zone." He said and quickly continued.

"Although the elders’ soul lamps are powerful, they can’t find people in secret realms or dangerous zones."

"What is the second possibility?" Xuanyuan Ze asked.

"It’s that Feng Xue is no longer in the Tianxuan continent." Lin Hua said, and the two siblings couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Has she ascended?" Xuanyuan Ze asked.

"The fire in a soul lamp turns red when a person ascends. However, Feng Xue’s soul fire hasn’t changed colour. She has likely fallen to one of the lower continents."

"It’s best if she has fallen to a lower continent." Xuanyuan Yan said.

After all, lower continents lacked resources and had thin spiritual aura.

Under such conditions, Feng Xue would not be able to recover for a long time and by the time she did, they would have already gained enough power to rival her.

That said, Xuanyuan Yan didn’t forget the main concern.

"I suspect Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan." She said, and Lin Hua raised an eyebrow.

"Who are they?" He asked.

"Shen Xu is the double that Ze likes, and Zhen Yuan is the double’s Taoist partner. Both joined the ninety-seventh mountain after entering the sect."

Lin Hua frowned when she heard this.

It wasn’t strange for people to enter the ninety-seventh mountain.

After all, she had arranged for all rejects and losers to join the mountain.

Considering that, she frowned with a thoughtful expression.

"Only registered disciples and losers join the ninety-seventh peak. How could such people be able to help the triplets?" He asked, but Xuanyuan Yan disagreed.

"First, the two didn’t take the test for other mountains before joining the ninety-seventh peak. I am inclined to think that they chose the triplets’ mountain from the beginning." She started and quickly continued.

"Second, the two have opened a wine shop in the trading centre. The shop has level nine formations and level eight spiritual wines. Don’t you think that cultivators with such resources may have a way of helping the triplets?" She asked, and Lin Hua nodded before speaking.

"They may have resources, but why would they help the triplets?" She asked, but no one had an answer for that question.

"I don’t know why they are helping the triplets, but those two are suspicious. Even their cultivation level is false."

"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Ze asked, looking at his sister with surprised eyes.

Seeing the look, Xuanyuan Yan subconsciously rolled her eyes before speaking.

"Both are early-stage spirit transformation realm cultivators, but what kind of weapon did Shen Xu use? Can an early-stage spirit transformation realm cultivator wield a peak-stage level seven hammer so effortlessly?" She asked and narrowed her eyes.

"Also, the shop’s formations are mid-stage level nine. Even if they didn’t arrange them, would early-stage spirit transformation realm cultivators be able to control them so easily?" She continued.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ze fell into thought and soon nodded.

"You are right. There are too many suspicious things about those two." He said and soon continued.

"Their age may also be wrong. They are probably not in their nine hundreds."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Ze turned to his mother.

"Mother, we should observe those two before we attack." He said, and Xuanyuan Yan nodded in agreement.

"Brother is right." She said and continued.

"They are currently in seclusion and won’t come out for another month. Recklessly attacking their formation is asking for trouble."

"Are the formations so powerful?" Lin Hua asked, and Xuanyuan Yan nodded.

"Many disciples and elders have been studying them for one month, but they can’t make heads or tails of them." Xuanyuan Yan said, but Lin Hua suddenly laughed.

Hearing the laughter, the siblings turned to their mother with a questioning expression.

"Do you know why it was so easy to deal with Feng Xue and her children?" She asked, and the two siblings shook their heads.

"Feng Xue is aloof, but she has never wronged anyone. However, her talent is too monstrous." Lin Hua said and quickly continued.

"Your father is an extraordinary genius, but he advanced to the tribulation transcending realm when he was more than three hundred thousand years old."

"After advancing, he practised for another four hundred thousand years before achieving the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm, but what about Feng Xue? She went from no cultivation to the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm in less than one hundred thousand years."

"The world loves talent, but do you think people can accept such ridiculous talent? Even if I didn’t deal with her, someone would have come out to kill Feng Xue. After all, her existence is a thorn in people’s eyes." Lin Hua said, but didn’t stop there.

"The triplets are not as talented as Feng Xue. However, compared to other geniuses, they are a head higher and secretly, no one wants to accept their existence."

"Mother, you mean..." Xuanyuan Ze started, and Lin Hua nodded.

"Like I said, the world loves talent, but too much of it makes others feel bad about themselves. If we play things right, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan will soon become unacceptable existences in people’s eyes. Even if others can tolerate them, the formation masters and spiritual chefs won’t stop until they get the inheritances in the two people’s hands."

Xuanyuan Yan and Xuanyuan Ze nodded when they heard this.

"Do you have a plan?" Xuanyuan Yan asked, and Lin Hua chuckled.

"Didn’t you say that Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan joined the ninety-seventh peak because they dabble in various disciplines?" He asked, and the siblings nodded.

"My plan is to thrust the two in the limelight while taking the chance to deal a decisive blow."

After that, Lin Hua explained her plan, and the two siblings couldn’t help but shudder.

At the same time, they felt grateful that Lin Hua was their mother and not their enemy.

That said, they didn’t pity Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.

After all, they offered a toast, but the two chose a forfeit.

Since things had come to this, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan could only accept the loss and hope for a better reincarnation.
