My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: The Truth Revealed

"Haha, did I trick you? You let yourself be fooled, even a fool can see it. How could I possibly capture your father," Hao Shuai mocked.

"You..."

Lin Wushuang was infuriated and momentarily speechless, continuously blaming herself in her heart.

On the side, Chen Tianlong heard and saw everything, and felt a pang in his heart. He couldn’t bear to see Wushuang sad or hurt.

Lin Wushuang couldn’t argue back, but her heart was set on retrieving the secret manual, so she took a dagger and stabbed forward.

However, Hao Shuai sneered. After a day’s rest, his strength had recovered to ninety percent. Dealing with an ordinary Celestial Dao like Lin Wushuang, he could easily win as long as they didn’t engage in close combat.

He drew his sword, and after a brief skirmish with Lin Wushuang, decided he couldn’t linger there. Originally, he planned to leave Lingyun Pavilion quickly after obtaining the secret manual.

He swung his sword, sending a fierce Sword Qi rushing towards Lin Wushuang. Wushuang, advancing forward, was stunned by the action.

At that moment, an orange sword swiftly pierced through the air, dispersing the incoming Sword Qi.

In no time, Chen Tianlong appeared before Lin Wushuang. Wushuang was initially surprised, and upon seeing clearly that it was Chen Tianlong, felt somewhat complicated.

Chen Tianlong didn’t waste any time and swung his sword towards Hao Shuai.

At this moment, Hao Shuai recognized Chen Tianlong and instantly felt the situation was unfavorable. On a normal day, they might be evenly matched, but he knew he couldn’t defeat Chen Tianlong now.

So he turned to flee, but how could Chen Tianlong let him escape? Not only had Hao Shuai taken the Bone Marrow Cleansing secret manual, but he also harmed Lin Wushuang. Chen Tianlong had to vent this anger.

Chen Tianlong immediately activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, using the Flying Shoes, and rapidly lunged at Hao Shuai. Hao Shuai was startled and dodged hastily, but shortly after, his arm, waist, and chest sustained varying degrees of sword wounds.

At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared at the entrance. It turns out the sounds of fighting were heard, and Yun Zhonghe’s senior disciple Lin Hao had brought other disciples over.

"What happened, Associate Master Chen?"

Seeing the situation, Lin Hao, not knowing what was going on, hurriedly asked.

"Senior Brother, quickly capture Hao Shuai, he has the Bone Marrow Cleansing secret manual," Chen Tianlong shouted while fighting.

Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Lin Hao immediately flew into action to help.

However, at that moment, Hao Shuai smirked slightly, took out a small black object from his pocket, and threw it forcefully to the ground. With a "boom," it exploded, soon flooding the entire courtyard with thick smoke.

Chen Tianlong, thinking it was an explosive, quickly flipped over and hugged Lin Wushuang, rolling into the grass on the side. In no time, the thick smoke dissipated, but Hao Shuai had already disappeared without a trace.

"Pursue him! Immediately give the order to strictly guard the exits, don’t let anyone in or out," Lin Hao ordered.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

The disciples immediately went to carry out the orders after hearing this.

At this time, Chen Tianlong knew Hao Shuai couldn’t have gotten far. Hao Shuai was unfamiliar with this place, so he probably got lost. Hence, he took Wushuang and leapt onto the rooftop. "Wushuang, let’s search around, he’s nearby."

"Okay, Chen Tianlong, thank you."

Lin Wushuang, still with her head lowered, said a bit embarrassedly.

"Silly girl, don’t overthink it. No matter what happens, I won’t blame you or leave you," Chen Tianlong said sincerely.

Lin Wushuang blushed slightly, clearly touched, and nodded with a smile. The two then set off to track Hao Shuai’s whereabouts.

Lin Hao, leading a group of junior disciples, searched everywhere. Although Lingyun Pavilion was large, they were familiar with it and could spot any hiding places or abnormalities at a glance.

So, after searching for a while, Chen Tianlong thought it best to directly follow Senior Brother Lin Hao.

The back mountain of Lingyun Pavilion.

Knowing that leaving through the main gate was impossible, Hao Shuai was forced to look for another way out.

But it was his first time at Lingyun Pavilion, so he got lost while walking and unknowingly arrived at a very unfamiliar place— the Forbidden Land of Lingyun Pavilion.

This was the burial site of Lingyun Pavilion’s founding master. Successive Lingyun Saints were buried here, so Yun Zhonghe ordered that no one could enter the Forbidden Land without his permission. Furthermore, Yun Zhonghe set up an array there.

The Forbidden Land was full of traps, installed by ancestors to prevent outsiders from invading and disturbing their souls.

Additionally, at the entrance to the Forbidden Land, Yun Zhonghe had specially set up an array that triggered an alarm if any creature touched the area, causing the bell at Yun Zhonghe’s window to ring intensely.

Seeing the big words "Forbidden Land," Hao Shuai sneered and walked right in, thinking that the inside was the safest place. Since his strength hadn’t fully recovered, safety was all that mattered, regardless of whatever Forbidden Land it was.

So, Hao Shuai boldly stepped inside. After walking a few steps, he felt as if he had bumped into something, and a blinding light burst out, pushing him back several steps before disappearing.

Hao Shuai was shocked, then cautiously proceeded, fearing another encounter. Although it wasn’t harmful, it was indeed frightening, and touching it felt like an electric shock, sending chills through his entire body.

However, on his subsequent attempt, there was no unusual response, so Hao Shuai continued forward. freewēbnoveℓ.com

He found himself in a cavernous area, with one entrance appearing grander than the others, marked with a sign: "This is the Forbidden Land of Lingyun Pavilion, trespassers will not be tolerated!"

Seeing this, Hao Shuai walked in without hesitation, as it was precisely his intended destination.

Lingyun Pavilion Courtyard, in Yun Zhonghe’s room.

Yun Zhonghe was sipping some tea when the bell beside his bed suddenly rang with urgency.

Yun Zhonghe furrowed his brows, thinking, "Someone has actually trespassed into the Forbidden Land of Lingyun Pavilion, what audacity!"

Without saying another word, he stepped out to head towards the back mountain, meeting his senior disciple Lin Hao and Chen Tianlong’s disciples along the way.

"Master, why are you here too?"

Lin Hao, surprised to see Yun Zhonghe already alerted, exclaimed.

"Someone broke into the Forbidden Land in the back mountain. This is the sacred ground of the Lingyun ancestors, how could I not come?"

Yun Zhonghe was clearly a bit angry. Who was daring enough to do this? He was sure it wasn’t someone from the sect, otherwise, that person must have a death wish.

"What? The Forbidden Land? Master, did you say someone broke into the Forbidden Land?" Lin Hao was equally astonished, it had never happened before, and now it occurred so suddenly today.
